ABSTRACT:
A machine which handles tea bags includes an elevator platform having a horizontal support surface adapted to support a stack of tea bags; a mechanism which moves the elevator platform from a first upper platform loading position to a second lower platform discharge position; a lead out member located at the discharge position; a pusher which pushes the stacks of tea bags from the platform when it is in the lower discharge position; a horizontal lead out surface on the lead out member; an inclined chamfer surface on the lead out member, the chamfer surface having a free edge; an inclined chamfer surface on the underside of the platform; and the platform and the lead out member being positioned and arranged so that when the platform is in the discharge position, the chamfer surfaces of the lead out member and the platform are in face to face overlappping contact, with the chamfer surface of the platform positioned above the chamfer surface of the lead out member and the horizontal support surface of the platform and the horizontal surface of the lead out member are co-planar and with the free edge of the chamfer surface on the lead out member being covered by the chamber surface on the underside of the platform so that the stack of tea bags can be smoothly pushed by the pusher means from the platform onto and over the horizontal surface of the lead out member.
