Abstract
An automatic bagging machine for placing transparent plastic bags over garments so as to enclose individual garments. The apparatus includes a turntable which has a number of upright garment stands, and an indexing system for rotating the turntable. The garments are carried by the stands on the turntable from a loading station to an operative station and then to an unloading station. The apparatus also includes an assembly for placing a plastic tube from a supply of plastic tubular material over a garment located at the loading station and then cutting and sealing this tube at an upper portion to form a transparent bag for the garment. Thereafter, the garment in its bag is moved to the unloading station and then is transported to a storage rack.
