  • Patent number: 4446675
    Abstract: The inserting station for a packing machine for inserting articles in boxes in layers comprises a plurality of lifting elements following the articles in the conveying direction. These lifting elements at least partly pass through the article conveyor means in order to successively raise the articles. The in each case raised lifting element forms a stop member for the following article. Each lifting element is shorter in the conveying direction than the extension of the article therein, which represents a measure for the overlap of the articles in a layer. In this way it is possible to position for forming a layer and overlap articles with an all-round flat or irregular edge.
