An apparatus is described for handling a continuous, stuffed, flexible casing and especially stuffed with explosives material. The apparatus includes pairs of split necking plates on either side of a casing path adapted for opposed reciprocal movement for engaging the casing in the path and necking the casing. The necking plates are mounted by a parallelogram linkage suspended from an overhead frame, and linkage means are provided for simultaneously moving the necking plates through said parallelogram linkage to neck the casing. Each pair of necking plates is adapted to move apart in a direction parallel to the axis of the path of the casing such that when the casing is necked by the necking plates, the neck so formed on the casing can be elongated by moving the plates apart. Magazine means are provided for advancing clips overhead of the casing, and a reciprocating plunger removes the clips from the magazine and arranges them on the neck portion of the casing between the necking plates as they are split apart. Die means are pivoted from the overhead frame and adapted for movement to and from a position between the split-apart necking plates below and adjacent the necked portion of the casing for receiving and forming the clips. Cutting means are pivotally mounted to the overhead frame for movement between the split-apart necking plates to cut the casing in the vicinity of the clips. |
