In an apparatus for erecting the bottom flaps of folding-box blanks fed to an erecting station by a conveyor and including a pivotable erecting lever with a blank-contacting surface which causes said blank flap to be deflected relative to the balance of said blank, said erecting lever thereafter being pivoted under the force of said blank, a bell crank lever is pivoted to said erecting lever, one arm of said bell crank lever serving as a latch and locking said bell crank lever and said erecting lever against pivoting, the other arm of said bell crank lever including an abutment engaged by the leading edge of said box blank and functioning as a latch release, whereby pivoting of said erecting lever is permitted only after said blank has advanced to the location where its leading edge engages said abutment. |
