Abstract
A sweet wrapping machine includes a continuously rotating feed disc (12) having regularly pitched sweet-receiving pockets (13), a continuously rotating wrapping wheel (44) having pockets (43) spaced at a greater pitch than the pockets in the feed disc, and a continuously rotating transfer wheel (16) including pockets (15) which receive the sweets from the pockets in the feed disc and transfer them to the pockets of the wrapping wheel. The pockets (15) are on the ends of arms (25) which are shifted during rotation of the transfer wheel from a spacing conforming to the pockets in the feed disc to a spacing conforming to the pockets of the wrapping wheel.
