Abstract
Novel apparatus for assembling box blanks and liners are provided. The apparatus includes supports for stacks of box blanks and liners and a laminating table disposed to receive blanks and liners from the supports. Also included is shuttle apparatus disposed between the supports and the laminating table for gripping and lifting the blanks and liners and taking blanks and liners from the supports to the laminating table and placing them in proper registration. The shuttle apparatus can further include means for dropping the liner onto the blank prior to final registration. The invention is highlighted by a single pushing mechanism for aligning both the blank and liner in a single direction. The invention further includes adhesive applying apparatus which minimizes maintenance due to adhesive overspray and indexing carriers which minimize registration errors.
