ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for positioning intersecting partitions in a container to form compartments to receive articles comprises a support plate and a plurality of straightening heads extending from the support plate in a given direction. Each of the heads is adapted to engage a respective intersection of two partitions in the container and defines an intersecting pair of open bottom slots for receipt therein of the respective partition intersection. Means are also provided for moving the support plate between a first position wherein the heads are spaced from the respective partition intersections and a second position wherein the heads engage the respective partition intersections to position the partitions. Because the straightening heads operate on the intersections of the partitions rather than in the center of the compartments, the apparatus is capable of straightening more deformed partitions, fewer straightening heads are required, and the same straightening head may be used to straighten compartments of different sizes.
