ABSTRACT:
A system for loading groups of articles into containers includes an infeed conveyor which groups the articles into subgroups which are then selectively reoriented by a turntable-type orienting device. The oriented subgroups are then conveyed to a transfer area where they are accumulated into elements of a predetermined pattern of articles. A pusher sequentially pushes the pattern elements onto the lower reach of a window conveyor disposed at a loading station. A container conveyor runs beneath the window conveyor to deliver an empty container to the loading station, a lifter assembly then raising the empty container to a loading position immediately beneath the support reach. The window conveyor is then operated to drop the pattern of articles through the window thereof into the container. As the window conveyor continues its movement a pusher on the leading end of the conveyor section thereof pushes the loaded container onto a discharge slide assembly which then tilts downwardly to allow the filled container to the slide onto an outfeed conveyor which may convey loaded containers to downstream apparatus, such as a bottom-up stacking mechanism.
