Method and apparatus for inserting tubular articles into containers.

摘要

An apparatus for sequentially feeding a plurality of flow rate control tubes into containers which are subsequently used in gravity flow post-mix beverage dispensers, including a vertical feed hopper containing a plurality of flow rate control tubes, a feeder chute positioned below or at the bottom of the hopper for receiving the tubes single file, and a reciprocating pusher member which enters the lowermost tube and carries it horizontally from the dispensing station at the bottom of the chute into an aperture in a pliable plastic container which is transported along a conveyor transversely to the direction of the movement of the pusher member.
