ABSTRACT:
In a packaging machine having a load transfer station and a packaging station there is provided an improved mechanism for loading articles onto a main conveyor for movement through the packaging station. A plurality of article receiving compartments are carried by the main conveyor at longitudinally spaced intervals thereon, each compartment having a front wall and a back wall projecting outwardly from and spaced longitudinally with respect to the main conveyor, the compartments opening upwardly away from the main conveyor. A loading platform is located in the load transfer station and disposed in a transfer plane. The loading platform has a discharge edge at one end thereof. A mechanism is provided for depositing articles onto the loading platform. The main conveyor is supported to guide the article receiving compartments in a loading path which includes an arcuate section disposed adjacent to and below the loading platform and a straight section which extends forwardly from the arcuate section outwardly from the discharge edge such that the front wall of each compartment emerges from below the loading plane and projects upwardly in front of the discharge edge to form a stop against which articles are driven by a discharge mechanism and thereafter the back wall emerges from below the loading plane to retain transferred articles in the article receiving compartments and the compartments are conveyed away from the loading station along the straight section of the loading path for subsequent packaging.
