摘要

A pusher assembly used in combination with a wrapping machine to insure firm seating in a package-receiving means and insure an improved application of an adhesive or solvent material to the wrapping material. An engaging means including a primary pushing means and an auxiliary pushing means contacts the following side of at least one package being fed into the wrapping machine. The auxiliary pushing means is disposed behind the primary pushing means. The engaging means and the package are moved along a path to a wrapper-sheet-applying station. The primary pushing means is effective to urge the package into a receiving means and the auxiliary pushing means is effective to insure a firm seating of the package in place within the receiving means. In more specific embodiments of this invention, a stationary liquid-applying device is disposed adjacent the receiving means. In this instance, the auxiliary pushing means is further effective to insure an additional thorough application of liquid from the liquid-applying device to the wrapper sheet which is being placed on the package.
