<p>In a boxing plant for cones and/or conoids which at its inlet are disposed in groups of a certain number each, an apparatus for feeding groups of cones in an orientated and ordered arrangement to boxes comprises a first section (A) in which groups of cones (11) positioned on a container tray (12) in an essentially horizontal plane are orientated in a predetermined manner on opposite sides so that they all lie with their tails pointing towards the centre, and a second section (B) in which they are discharged from the container trays (12) onto racks (15) and the cones (11) on one side are offset relative to the cones on the other side, and then moved while offset onto a central region which can be opened in the manner of a sliding door above boxes and in which the cones (11) disposed side by side in a head-tail arrangement are compacted (18) into matrices having the same directions as the boxes and are then allowed to fall into the boxes by opening the sliding door.</p> |
