ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for wrapping lollipops wherein the candy portion is first placed in a pre-formed wrapper envelope and then loaded between chuck jaws translated on a conveyor. The conveyor includes a plurality of chucks, and the chuck jaws of each chuck grip the candy portion of a single lollipop and move the lollipop along a linearly extending heat sealing station wherein the chuck is rotated to cause the wrapper to twist about the stick of the lollipop The chuck then moves the lollipop to an ejection and counting station where the chuck jaws are automatically opened. After the lollipop leaves the chuck, the chuck jaws are realigned and the chuck is returned to the loading station with the chuck jaws open to receive another lollipop. Movement of the chuck jaws is controlled at each station by underlying cams. As the conveyor carries the chuck over the cams the chuck jaws are opened, closed and/or rotated. During twisting of the wrapper about the stick and heat sealing, a stick support conveyor intersects with the chuck conveyor to maintain the stick in a preselected orientation. The chuck conveyor and the stick support conveyor are mechanically connected to travel at the same speed and can be driven by a single motive source.
