Abstract

A device for introducing material into containers with a material-release mechanism and with a structure that supports a container below the material-release mechanism and that can advance the container past the material-release mechanism. The supporting structure has a rocker bearing on which the container rocks back and forth. The point at which it supports the container is displaced to the rear as the container travels forward such that the displacement in the center of gravity of the container as it fills up both occasions an advance in relation to the material-release mechanism and brakes it as the container advances.
