Abstract
In a case packer lanes are provided for advancing articles into a grid structure where they are segregated for packing into upwardly open packing cases positioned on a lift table associated with the packer. A line brake assembly is provided to interrupt the flow of articles during the actual packing step, and the line brake disclosed is conveniently adjustable in height to accommodate articles of different size. Individual brake subassemblies clamp the endmost articles in several side-by-side lanes, and all of these are driven by a single air cylinder. Down bottle detectors determine when an article falls down, and these detectors are mounted in the same vertically adjustable line brake assembly. The lane defining structure is adjustable to accommodate articles of different diameter, and the detectors themselves are also movably mounted for convenient adjustment to accommodate articles of different diameter.
