'pose'of closing the ends of cartons or like receptacles of the kind having a flap contiguous with one of the sides of the carton i and arranged tobe bent over the open mouth,
and a strip along the free edge of the flap which is arranged to be bent over in the form of a taband tucked between the opposing carton side and the contents.
: This invention accordingly provides apparatus for the purpose specified, comprising in combination mechanlsm arranged to bulge one side of the carton away from the conaforesaid. Preferably, there is combined with-apparatus as above described a con-v veyor which is intermittently movable to more of the successive tions are effected. v
' The bulging mechanism may comprise s cillating bulging members arranged to con- "tact with and to exert pressure on those two opposed sides ofthe carton flanking the side portion with which the flap is contiguous and the folding means aforesaid may comprise tab-bending mechanism operable tobend the-tab to a position substantially at"right angles to the flap, a flap-turning member (e. g. the "stationary plough 28) arranged to engage thefiap and to turn it towards the open mouth of the carton, and
a flap-closing member, operable in timedrelationship with the tucking finger aforesaid to engage the surface of the partially closed flap and to fold it down upon'the open mouth of the carton." V According to asubsidiary feature of this invention the tab-bending mechanism comprises a stationary abutment and an oscillating element movable towards and away from said abutment jand'arranged during its advance to bend the flap over the abutment.
-Further,'locating members may be provided :which are arranged toeng age two opposed "the folding mechanism.

Preferably,'-these l0- Y gitudinally to transport the carton, out of the operative position in a reverse direction to its original movement and is returned parallel to the carton'path to its first position.
One construction according to this invention will now be described with reference to the-accompanying drawings, in which Figuresl 6 show a carton in the various stages of closure;

As seen in Figure'l, the closure flap 21 is bent'outward-ly from the carton 20. During its movement along the second channel 25, this flap contacts with a twisted guide plate or plough 28 which bends it up to the position shown in Figure 2. At this stage the flap lies alongside an abutment 29, see F igures 7 and 11, and an oscillating tab folder 30 moves forward and bends the tab 22 over "the abutment until it stands at right angles the fiapand tab "under ia serrii-(iiroulrirlguidii plate'3l which maintains themin their correct angularv position to each other and a continuation of-the twisted; guide plate 28' bends the flap over towards the open 'mouth of the' carton;' thisistage is shown in Figure At this point a'preSsure'elementSQI is P moved-"forward intofeontact withthe side E23 of the earton to "eoi'npress slightly the contents; This pressure element 32 is mount- 7 ed; with the tab folder and a pair of forked bulging members 39 (whose functions are explained below): upon-a bracket 33 which is pivoted at, 34 to: lever 35 (pivoted on a shaft issue-he machine bed) oscillated by f acamfifi and'roller 37' the roller beingmaint'ained in contact with the cam by a spring- WhiQhziS not shown.
