ABSTRACT:
The article depositing and transferring apparatus has a plurality of rows of abutted containers fed to a grid or a carrier means at a processing station where a vertically movable control means having a plurality of individual push or transfer rods releasably attached thereto is provided. Suction cups releasably attach push rods individually to the control means whereby when the control means is driven vertically downwardly, the individual rods engage individual articles on the grid and forcibly move them downwardly for article deposit action, but if an obstruction is encountered the rods individually release and permit the remainder of the apparatus to function normally. Or the rods may have end members to engage the articles for controlled transfer or deposit of the same.
This invention generally relates to article packaging or caser apparatus.
