<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an article to be pushed in from being brought into contact with an upper edge of an opening of an exterior box. <P>SOLUTION: A boxing apparatus includes a push-in device 14 for lowering a pushing member so that one or more articles (aligned articles) are pushed into an exterior box arranged below from an opening formed by opening a floor plate 50, and a guide device 10 for guiding the articles to be pushed in to the exterior box. The guide device has N-pieces of guide pieces 45 with vertically faces constituting N-pieces of corners of a virtual frame body of a hollow inverted truncated N-angle pyramidal shape (where N denotes an integer of ≥3) with upper and lower surfaces opened. The guide pieces are rocked downwardly in a substantially vertical plane including each ridge so that the aligned articles to be pushed in are guided to the exterior box by forming the virtual frame body at the reference position. The exterior box has a predetermined N-angle pyramidal shape with its upper surface opened, and is arranged below an opening to be formed by opening a floor plate while flaps on N-ridges of the upper surface are erected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
