ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for packing articles, for example apples and other readily damaged fruits, in expanded slices of honeycomb using a conveyor on which the honeycomb is fitted, and carried through a filling station to an unloading station.
Means are provided for expanding the slices of honeycomb and applying them to the conveyor in turn. A preferred arrangement is to supply the unexpanded slices one by one from a magazine and accelerate each slice so that it is projected into position for engagement by vacuum cups of an expansion device. Having been expanded, the slices are fitted to the conveyor where they are held in the expanded state by attachment devices provided thereon.
At the unloading station, the packages of articles are removed from the conveyor for stacking in a confining carton while confining them in the horizontal direction to retain the position of articles packaged in incomplete cells.
