ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for semi-automatically packing packages being supplied by automatic packaging apparatus at a rapid rate, characterized by the steps of or means for diverting the packages sequentially into one or more chutes; accumulating the packages from all chutes on a gate; transferring the packages from the gate and in a desired position into a receiver; providing clearance in the receiver for a next package or packages transferred from the gate; repeating the above steps until a predetermined number of packages have been accumulated in the receiver and thereafter removing the predetermined number of packages to make room for the next predetermined number of packages. Specifically disclosed inventive features that are worthy of note in the invention include one or more inclined and pivotally mounted load chutes; a ram with slots; and a comb with fingers that interact with the slots to hold the bags at an advanced position as the ram is retracted to receive the next plurality of packages from the gate, and a couple of forms of surge means enabling a single operator using the apparatus to readily handle the rapidly incoming packages.
