Abstract

Improvements in an apparatus for the packaging of cans with edges at the respective edges in a preformed open-end cardboard wrapper formed from a rectangular preformed sheet provided for folding and overlapping for security purposes under a group of said, cans arranged in two rows aligned with position openings placed in said wrapping to project the edges of the cans therethrough in order to hold them in position, said apparatus comprising an elongated stationary plate having an end portion large enough to support both aligned rows of said group of cans and a narrowed opposite end part, the upper surface of said plate having a longitudinal sector elevated on a respective side to support a row of said group of cans with the corresponding edges arranged on the edges of the cans of the other row, devices to make that group of cans sliding longitudinally on said plate from said broad end towards the respective narrow end with a preformed envelope aligned in a transverse direction on top and folded down on the sides of said group of cans extending below said plate to each side, devices for maintaining the rows of said group of cans arranged with the edges of said raised row housed on the edges of the cans of said other row while said group of cans slides on said plate, and devices arranged in relation to said plate for progressively folding said projecting portions of the preformed plate inwardly to overlap them under each group of cans as it slides on said plate with the edges of said rows of cans held in reciprocal accommodation relationship.
