Abstract: A device for scrambling dice and the like includes a pair of housing bodies which collectively define a generally vertical chute for directing dice from an upper entryway to a lower discharge opening. A door is attached adjacent to a lower edge of the discharge opening and is pivotable between a first position wherein the door closes the discharge opening, and a second position wherein the door provides a ramp for directing dice falling downwardly through the chute away from the housing through the discharge opening. A plurality of pins and baffles extending into the chute deflect dice falling downwardly through the chute. In one embodiment, the pins may be removed and repositioned as desired. The housing bodies are further configured to provide a closed container for the dice to facilitate shipping and storage of the dice within the dice scrambler.

Abstract: A device for securing a web handle to a container blank includes a feed station having means for storing a supply of blanks above a conveyor which removes individual blanks from the feed station and carries the blanks therewith, with one edge of the blanks facing in the direction of travel of the conveyor. A web handle supply station is located downstream of the storage station in the direction of travel of the conveyor and includes means for supplying and positioning a web handle of predetermined length to a blank on the conveyor immediately therebelow, with the ends of the web handle located in front of the leading edge of the blank. Means, such as for example a stapling machine, are located downstream of the web supply station for securing the web handle to the container end blank.
