<p>A machine for wrapping generally cylindrical articles, includes a supply reel (8) rotatably mounted in the machine for unreeling a web (6) of sheet material, a conveyor (31) for transporting the articles along a predetermined path, an inclined infeed table (3) for supplying the articles (1) by means of a gravity feed to the conveyor, and an article infeed mechanism (30) disposed adjacent the infeed table for successively feeding the articles to the conveyor. The articles infeed mechanism is movable between a first position in which it stops the feed of the articles fed thereto and a second position in which the articles are allowed to successively move by gravity forward for deposit on the conveyor. A device is provided for successively adhering the leading edge of the sheet material (6) to the articles and a transverse parting wire (27) serves to sever a predetermined portion of the sheet material so that it may be wrapped around the article (1) as it rolls forward toward the conveyor (31). A method for wrapping cylindrical articles is also disclosed.</p> |
