CLIP-TYPE ARTICLE CARRIER PACKAGING MECHANISM

摘要

An article clip packaging machine (10) for applying carton members to the article rims of preselected article groups (12). The machine has a conveyor (52) with an infeed end for receiving preselected article groups. At least two carton member feeding structures (57, 73) are synchronized with the conveyor for placing carton base and carton top members (16, 17), respectively, on the preselected article groups. A securing assembly (15) attaches the carton base and top members to the rims of the article groups to provide article group carriers.
