ABSTRACT:
An improved machine for handling and erecting initially folded cartons includes axial ways and an intermittently actuable, axially reciprocating advancing-erecting mechanism. Pivotally mounted along a drive shaft of the advancing-erecting mechanism are advancing fingers and carton pick-up catches that extend upward between the ways. Mounted ahead of a carton erecting station are stationary flap separating fingers that direct a flap of the cartons between a clamp and a clamping plate of an intermittently actuable clamping mechanism. Mounted above the carton erecting station is an intermittently actuable final erecting mechanism for erecting cartons from a partially erect condition to a fully erect condition. Cartons are sequentially moved to the carton erecting station by the catches on a forward stroke of the drive shaft and clamped. The cartons are then erected to a partially erect condition by the advancing fingers on a return stroke of the drive shaft, erected to the fully erect condition, and moved from the carton erecting station by the advancing fingers on the next forward stroke of the drive shaft.
