  • Patent number: 4300331
    Abstract: An apparatus for automatically packing record discs comprises a record disc table adapted to receive thereon a record disc to be packed, an inner bag stock section disposed opposite the table and stocking therein a number of inner bags in stacked arrangement, a mechanism for holding the inner bag with its unsealed edge open, which mechanism comprises a pair of arm members adapted to enter at the uppermost inner bag in the inner bag stock section through the unsealed edge thereof and to support the inner bag at the opposite ends of the unsealed edge thereof, and a mechanism for moving the holding mechanism together with the inner bag toward the table. The moving mechanism draws the inner bag over the record disc on the table and in this way the record disc is in effect inserted into the inner bag to obtain a packed record disc while the record disc remains stationary on the table. The resulting package is thereafter inserted into an empty jacket.
