ABSTRACT:
A planar article or sheet, such as a divider sheet for stacked products, and the method of supplying substantially planar articles from a supply magazine to an article transfer device, which then transfers the article to a desired location for further processing. The planar article itself can be a divider sheet for stacked beverage containers, folded paperboard cartons for carriers, or any other substantially planar article which is adapted to be consecutively arranged with other such articles in a group, and placed in a supply magazine for singular delivery to an article transfer device. The method of the present invention is specifically designed to insure that only one sheet at a time is removed from the group by the article transfer device. The sheets or articles themselves, are designed to cooperate with the supply magazine to facilitate singular delivery. The articles also can incorporate several features, alone or in combination, which reduce the force necessary to accomplish their removal and reduce the likelihood that consecutive articles will adhere to one another and be unintentionally removed from the stack of articles upon the intended removal of one article by the transfer device.
