ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides an improved container loading mechanism for automated packaging machines. In particular, a container loading mechanism is disclosed which has a fixed segment and a movable segment, which is positionable either for container loading or aligned with the fixed segment for urging containers to a container feeding position. The mechanism is positioned relative to the packaging machine such that the movable portion is adjacent the discharge of the packaging machine, thereby simplifying the loading of containers as the operator is normally near the discharge end of the machine. The mechanism includes biasing of the movable segment, preferably by a counterbalance arrangement, further simplifying the loading operation. The mechanism also includes several design features which reduce the possibililty of containers jamming. As the device allows for gravity feed of containers, both segments are angled relative to the horizontal to ensure the containers are gravity fed to the container feeding position.
