ABSTRACT:
A machine for folding and shaping a partition for a case which carries a plurality of articles and for inserting the partition between articles in the case. The machine includes a hopper for holding a plurality of the partitions. Each of the partitions has slot means substantially centrally thereof. Vacuum cups can grip one of the partitions and move in a direction to free the partition from the hopper. A flight conveyor includes flight means for engaging of the partition at the slot means. The flight conveyor advances the partition to a folding station where the partition is folded centrally thereof. The flight conveyor further advances the folded partition to a forming and insertion station. A case having articles therein stops at a loading station below the forming and insertion station. Forming elements between the forming and insertion station and the loading station are engaged by the partition as the flight conveyor advances the folded partition past forming elements to form the partition to erect position. An insertion conveyor means advances the formed partition from the forming elements into alignment with the articles in the case to separate the articles in the case.
