A mechanism (10) is provided for simultaneously transferring a plurality of containers (14) onto a continuously moving conveyor (18) from a surface (22) located adjacent to the conveyor. A pair of pusher plates (34a, 34b) are positioned along the surface, opposite the conveyor. The pusher plates extend towards the conveyor to simultaneously transfer a predetermined number of containers onto the conveyor. A shuttle plate (60) is positioned above the conveyor and has compartments (68) positioned to receive the cartons as they are pushed onto the conveyor. The shuttle plate is then moved along the conveyor to accelerate the batch of containers up to the speed of the conveyor. Once the cartons reach the speed of the conveyor, the shuttle plate retracts out of the path of the conveyor and the containers continue to move along the conveyor. The shuttle plate then returns to its original to accept the next batch of containers.

Le mécanisme (10) de l'invention permet de transférer simultanément plusieurs conteneurs (14) vers une transporteuse en mouvement continu (18) depuis la surface (22) située adjacente à la transporteuse. Une paire de plaques-poussoirs (34a, 34b) est positionnée le long de la surface, opposée à la transporteuse. Les plaques-poussoirs s'étendent vers la transporteuse afin de transférer simultanément un nombre prédéterminé de conteneurs sur la transporteuse. Une plaque-navette (60) est positionnée au-dessus de la transporteuse et possède des compartiments (68) positionnés pour recevoir les cartons au fur et à mesure qu'ils sont poussés vers la transporteuse. La plaque-navette est ensuite déplacée le long de la transporteuse pour accélérer le lots de conteneurs jusqu'à la vitesse de la transporteuse. Dès que les cartons atteignent la vitesse de la transporteuse, la plaque-navette se retire du chemin de la transporteuse et les conteneurs continuent de se déplacer le long de la transporteuse. La plaque-navette reprend sa position d'origine pour recevoir le lot suivant de conteneurs.
