<p>A device for associating descriptive inserts with videocassette cases comprising two half-cases hinged together in the manner of a book and provided externally with a transparent sheet fixed to the opposing outer edges of said half-cases comprises: - an intermittently moving horizontal conveyor (1) on which the cases (2) are placed open such that the their interior faces upwards, the hinge (21) between the half-cases (20) being perpendicular to the conveying direction, - located transversely to the conveyor, a unit (7, 77) for gripping and positioning the cases, and arranged to raise said cases while keeping the sheet (23) distanced from the structure of the case, which is open through an angle exceeding 180 DEG , and - a horizontal table for inserting the descriptive inserts (3), which is aligned with the aperture defined between the sheet and the structure of the case supported by said unit (7, 77), and comprises two identical coplanar plates (10) driven with mutual approach and withdrawal movement, to occupy a spaced-apart position in which they are able to support a completely extended descriptive insert, and a position of approach in which they cause the descriptive insert to assume a curved configuration, - said horizontal table being rigid with a slider arranged transversely to the conveyor axis, in order to occupy a retracted position for loading the extended descriptive insert, and an advanced position in which it places the curved descriptive insert between the sheet and structure of the case, means for gripping the descriptive insert being provided in front of said table on the other side of the conveyor. <IMAGE></p> |
