Abstract
A drop packer has a conventional shifting grid, with a funnel structure to guide the dropped articles into a packing case provided therebelow. The case is lifted to mate with funnel and has a resiliently biased platform to absorb the impact of the articles dropped into the case. The grid has control arms to lower each article at a controlled rate for at least an initial portion of its descent.
