Abstract: An infeed conveyor is provided for advancing upright articles in a plurality of lanes across a deadplate and into a lane defining grid as a result of line pressure from the articles advancing on the conveyor. Means is provided above each such lane for braking or holding back the articles on the deadplate so that discrete charges, or slugs of articles, can be formed in the grid. The grid is adapted to be retracted slightly, away from the deadplate, and to be rotated to an inverted position. Hinged doors on the grid are moved into contact with the upper end portions of the upright articles to hold them in the grid as it is so rotated. An empty packing case to be loaded is raised upwardly to receive the inverted articles in the grid, and the doors are then moved to their open positions causing the articles to drop downwardly onto the upwardly open packing case. Two embodiments of the invention are shown, one having a single grid, and the second having a double grid.

Abstract: Noncircular articles are fed in a single line on a primary conveyor, and a pair of take away conveyors are provided on either side thereof for receiving articles diverted from the primary conveyor. A pair of pocket chain conveyors have facing runs traveling downstream at a slightly slower speed than that of the primary and take away conveyors. U-shaped pockets are mounted at staggered locations on these pocket chain conveyors, and move inwardly to releasably grip the articles to be diverted, and once an article has been so gripped these pockets move outwardly to divert the article onto an associated take away conveyor. An article-stripping bar acts on the article so diverted, releasing it from the U-shaped pocket, which pocket then travels upstream for diverting another article. With two take away conveyors, every third article is allowed to pass between the pocket chain conveyors and three discrete lanes of articles are provided.

Abstract: A machine is disclosed for loading frangible containers, such as relatively tall glass bottles of the thin walled-non-returnablevariety, into upwardly open packing cases. The bottles are conveyed in discrete side-by-side lanes into a grid structure where they are isolated by conventional brake means associated with each lane. A frame arranged over the grid structure carries a vertically reciprocable carriage having a plurality of individual container gripping units for holding a group of containers while a bottom portion of the grid is opened. Means is provided for retracting the frame and the grid structure slightly, away from those bottles being held by the brake means so that the carriage can be lowered and the bottles passed downwardly through the open grid structure into the case. Each gripper unit comprises a hollow tubular stem portion supported from the carriage, and a lower housing portion which contains a generally U-shaped spring member having depending leg portions with laterally opposed jaws at their respective ends for engaging the neck portion of a container. Each unit also includes a rod slidably mounted in the tubular stem, and connected to the apex of each spring member so that a vertically reciprocable plate in the carriage, to which the upper ends of these rods are connected, can be moved vertically to open and close the jaws on a container.
