Abstract

A rectangular foil packing carrying medicinal bottles is automatically slit vertically along both sides and horizontally both longitudinally and transversely at least on the top as the package is moved through multiple stations on an endless conveyor belt. Horizontally and vertically shiftable spikes carrying cutting elements are swivelable about a horizontal axis in the direction of conveyance of the packing for folding back a foil flap created by the cut between a clamping arragement and the first endless conveyor at a third station to permit the bottles to be moved horizontally from the pack onto a second conveyor in the direction of conveyance of the first conveyor.
