ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for positioning partitions in a container to form compartments to receive articles comprises first and second assemblies, each of the assemblies comprising a support and a plurality of mandrels secured to the support, extending generally from the support in a given direction towards the container bottom, and terminating in heads adapted to align and straighten the partitions in the container to form compartments for the receipt of articles. A drive mechanism moves one of the assemblies in said given direction toward and away from the container bottom, and the first and second assemblies are secured together in a manner enabling at least limited relative motion therebetween in said given direction. The mandrels of the first assembly preferably are disposed inwardly of the mandrels of the second assembly in the thus-produced mandrel pattern, and the first assembly mandrel heads normally extend further towards the container bottom than the second assembly mandrel heads.
