ABSTRACT:
A stacking system for vertically stacking a plurality of articles comprising: a transport table, a stacking area, an arm member, a vertical moving member, and a coordinating device. The transport table includes a first end and a second end, and a member for slidably moving an article of the plurality of articles from the first end to and beyond the second end of the transport table. The stacking area preferably is a table which includes a top surface and a proximal end region associated with the second end of the transport table. The arm member includes an engaging member slidably movable over at least a portion of the stacking table. The engaging member is capable of releasably engaging a portion of the article as the article extends beyond the second end of the transport table. The vertical movement member moves one of the stacking table or the transport table and the arm member into the desired orientation relative to the stacking table. The coordinating device coordinates the vertical movement member and the slidable movement of the engaging member. This, in turn, facilitates stackable positioning of the plurality of articles upon the top surface of the stacking table. The invention likewise includes a method of stacking a plurality of articles.
