Abstract:
Apparatus for forming multiple rows of articles from a single incoming row of articles. The apparatus has an elongated guide adapted to swing about a pivot point adjacent the incoming single file of articles. The downstream end carries a freely rotatable wheel with circumferentially spaced lugs engageable by the articles. A brake is connected to the wheel and a counting mechanism, associated with the wheel, operates the brake and effects the shifting of the swinging guide from one downstream lane to another when a preselected number of articles is counted. |
