Abstract
A case packing head for the packing of rectangular containers into cases. In a first embodiment of the invention, the containers are passed through arcuate paths on skid blades such that the containers fan apart above the top edges of the cross fingers of the packing head, avoiding the cross fingers upon shifting of the skid blades. In another embodiment, the skid blades are angled downwardly and the stop blocks are adapted to withdraw a sufficient amount to allow the containers to tilt on the skide blades and separate. A separating grid is then driven between the containers to space them apart with the spaces positioned above the top edges of the cross fingers. In yet another embodiment, the skid blade assembly comprises a pair of blades, one slidable upon the other. The stop block is connected to the sliding blade which has teeth thereon for contacting the containers. Upon actuation, the stop block withdraws a fixed amount and the movable skid blade moves the same amount, the teeth contacting the containers and separating them from each other to define spaces therebetween over the top edges of the cross fingers.
