PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an article to-be-packaged charging method and apparatus by which the charged state of articles to-be-packaged in a bag can always be kept under a neat posture and stacked state even when the articles to-be-packaged which are flexible and tend to collapse are filled under a state wherein they are kept under a standing posture, and are stacked by a plurality of pieces, and which are efficient and can cope with speed-up at the same time.SOLUTION: Articles 11 to-be-packaged which are stacked by a plurality of pieces are intermittently transferred by a bucket conveyor 7. The articles to-be-packaged are mounted onto a transfer tray by a first pushing-out member at a specified stopping position. The transfer tray moves to the rising end while the articles to-be-packaged are pressed by a first pressing member, and the articles to-be-packaged are mounted onto a turning tray at the rising end. The turning tray is turned by 90° while the articles to-be-packaged are pressed by a second pressing member, and the articles to-be-packaged are made to a standing state. Then, the articles to-be-packaged are dropped to a posture-correcting/filling apparatus, and the postures are corrected by a side edge truing-up member. The articles to-be-packaged are held by a holding member, and are inserted in a bag B as they are. |
