Abstract: A bundling system can convert a shingled stream of goods into successive bundles of goods. The system has a conveyor assembly with an upstream and a downstream section for (a) longitudinally passing the shingled stream of goods from the upstream to the downstream section, and (b) repeatedly interrupting passage of goods for creating a gap in the shingled stream of goods. The system also includes a reciprocatable table located downstream of the conveyor assembly for detaining and collecting goods there into a stacked bundle. Also included is a pusher for extending and pushing the stacked bundle off the table. The reciprocatable table is arranged to rise past the pusher without interference when the pusher is extended.
