    Abstract: Articles such as bricks are loaded on one end of a horizontal endless loading conveyer in predetermined groups governed by trays fixed on the endless member of the conveyer. When the groups of articles reach a discharge station along the conveyer, they are sequentially discharged transversely of the conveyer onto a horizontal temporary support plate by paddle plates moved by an endless conveyer transversely overlying the first conveyer such that the articles are pushed by the paddle plates onto the temporary support plate. The temporary support plate overlies a vertical elevator and is retractable from below the discharged articles resting thereon to deposit the same on preceding articles stacked on the elevator. The elevator is then lowered a predetermined amount to make space for the next group of articles to be discharged after which the temporary support plate is moved back to its position overlying the elevator to receive the next group of articles to be discharged. When the elevator reaches its lower-most position, having received a full stack of articles, a push-off mechanism including a vertical pusher plate pushes the stacked articles from the elevator to an adjacent shuttle car which then is moved adjacent a further handling station such as a strapping station where a second push-off mechanism is actuated to push the stacked articles from the shuttle car into a strapping mechanism. The shuttle car then returns adjacent the elevator which then may be raised to a level below the temporary support plate for starting the next stacking operation.
