A control arrangement for controlling the movement of an oscillating lever so as to allow the lever to exert a force of predetermined magnitude on an article placed in its path. Control of the lever is effected through a transmission mechanism which operably connects a control cam between the oscillating lever and an auxiliary lever in contact with the cam. A setting control sets the interacting force of the two levers to a predetermined value, such that, if the oscillating lever in the course of its movement in a first direction arising from rotary movement of the cam is arrested by an article arranged in its path, the force exerted by the oscillating lever on the article is at least equal to the predetermined value multiplied by the ratio between the distance which separates the shaft of the oscillating lever from the point where the interacting force is exerted on the lever, and the distance which separates the same shaft from the point where the oscillating lever is in contact with the article. |
