<p>Handling apparatus for packaging flat articles such as tea bags (P) comprises a vertical guide (2) in which the bags are stacked in a column while resting on engagement fingers (18) that move downwards to maintain the top of the building stack at a prescribed height. The stack is ejected into a container (C) immediately below the guide by a pusher member (20) which drives the stack downwards, the engagement fingers being meanwhile retracted from the stack. By driving the stack downwards with an acceleration greater than gravity as it is packed into the container, the stack can be kept stable. <IMAGE></p> |
