Abstract: The invention relates to a folding-box insert (10; 50), in particular for cylindrical articles (2), such as ampoules, bottles and the like, having a blank (1; 51) which forms two accommodating chambers (31, 32) for accommodating in particular the end portions of the articles (2), wherein the accommodating chambers (31, 32) each comprise a wall portion (14; 14a, 15; 15a) which is spaced apart from a base portion (11) and has a cutout (29; 29a) for accommodating the respective end portion of the article (2), and wherein the wall portion (14; 14a, 15; 15a) has flaps (33, 34; 52, 53) which are articulated via folds (36, 37; 55) and can be folded over in the direction of the base portion (11). According to the invention, it is provided that the flaps (33, 34; 52, 53) are designed as means for propping up the accommodating chambers (31, 32).

Abstract: An apparatus for inserting packaged material into packaging means is described. In the region of an insertion device and a preinsertion device, a packaged-material conveyor device and a packaging-means conveyor device are provided. The insertion device has at least one insertion tappet, and the preinsertion device has a covering tongue corresponding to the insertion tappet. The insertion tappets and covering tongue can be guided essentially transversely to a direction of motion of the conveyor devices, which motions can each be generated by means of a respective servomotor drive mechanism, coupled to the insertion tappet and to the covering tongue. The insertion device and the preinsertion device are adjustable in oscillating fashion parallel to the direction of motion of the conveyor devices via a further servomotor drive mechanism coupled to them, and the drive mechanisms are triggerable separately via a drive control mechanism.

Abstract: An apparatus (1) for inserting packaged material into packaging means is described. In the region of an insertion device (2) and a preinsertion device (3), a packaged-material conveyor device and a packaging-means conveyor device are provided. The insertion device has at least one insertion tappet (5A-5C), and the preinsertion device has a covering tongue (7A-7C) corresponding to the insertion tappet. The insertion tappets and covering tongue can be guided essentially transversely to a direction of motion of the conveyor devices, and the motions of the insertion tappet (5-A5C) and of the covering tongue can each be generated by means of a respective servomotor drive mechanism (8, 9), coupled to the insertion tappet and to the covering tongue.
