ABSTRACT:
Packaging method and apparatus for depositing a predetermined number of sheets, such as bookplates, in a rectangular box bottom having a bottom wall and four upstanding side walls, placing a box top of the same shape but slightly larger size over the box bottom and applying a label to the box top. The box bottoms are conveyed past a loading station at which a predetermined number of bookplates are "extruded" through a slot in a front wall of a hopper, with the height of the slot being adjusted as desired to allow just the desired number of bookplates to be pushed or extruded through it to a box bottom positioned opposite the loading station. As the loaded box bottoms move past the loading station they are intersected by the box tops which move at right angles to the box bottoms and, just before each box top meets a box bottom, the box top leading edge is lifted by means of a suction so that it clears the side wall of the box bottom. The box top is then pushed across the box bottom by a pusher plate until the leading edge of the box tops meets a corresponding side wall of the box bottom, at which point a hinged member urges the box top over the box bottom. As the combined box bottoms and tops with the bookplates contained in them move forward, individual labels depicting the type of bookplates packaged in the boxes are adhesively applied to each box top using air pressure to lift an individual label from a stack of labels and then apply the label to a box top.
