ABSTRACT:
A packer grid block assembly utilizing detachably securable fingers for guiding articles into an orderly array to facilitate packing of the articles into a predefined receiving location positioned therebelow including a plurality of equally spaced parallel grid plates having mounted thereon a plurality of generally triangular support blocks which each present outwardly facing block surfaces to which a plurality of guiding fingers are detachably securable, each block surface including secured thereto a cover plate which is maintained in a spaced relationship with respect to the block surface by a plurality of spacers which serve to define a separation space between the cover plate and the support block, the finger members serving to guide articles passing through the grid may be detachably securable in a location between the cover plates and the block members by detachably securing themselves around the spacers, the elongated finger members being of a resilient material and defining a longitudinal slot therein including enlarged sections such that the slot may separate during insertion of the finger member such that the enlarged sections can grip around at least one of the spacer means to detachably secure the finger member thereto, the finger member further including a lower section extending below the cover plate and inclined inwardly toward the article receiving passage defined between adjacent fingers to facilitate the guiding of articles passing through the passages, further including a tab means or plurality of ear means which are adapted to limit lateral movement of the finger member when detachably secured in place to the spacers.
