ABSTRACT:
In a package wrapping machine wherein packages are transported horizontally on a beyond platform to a wrapping station and deposited at the wrapping station by contact or collision of the package with a package stop as the platform travels beynd the stop, improved package handling apparatus is provided for catching trayed commodities upon rebound from the package stop and for urging them toward the stop such that they are correctly positioned for wrapping. The improved apparatus comprises a ramped projection extending upwardly from the rear of the conveying platform with the ramped projection being formed to facilitate passage beneath a package to be wrapped as the platform travels beyond the package stop. Package restraints at the wrapping station retain packages at the correct position on the wrapping station as the ramped projection passes beneath the trayed commodity. In the preferred embodiment, the conveying platform comprises a plurality of rods and the ramped projection extends from a generally rectangular block which engages the last and the penultimate of the plurality of rods.
