Abstract: An apparatus for depositing a quantity of articles in a container utilizing an endless conveyor mounted on a vertically movable support structure. Belt curtain means attached to the support structure adjacent the article support means of the conveyor aid in confining the articles being transported. When the article level in the container reaches a predetermined height, a limit switch is activated, initiating drive means connected to the belt curtain. Tension applied to the support structure by the belt curtain incrementally and vertically raises the support through a preselected distance or interval, whereby the limit switch is again deactivated and the support structure stops.
