Abstract (en)

A wrapping machine for wrapping items of confectionery, such as lollipops (14) having an edible "pop" on a stick (15), includes various mechanisms for positioning these items in a desired configuration on a feed disc (11) and for repositioning them prior to wrapping and sealing a heat-sealable plastics material (26) around the edible "pop". A stick orienting mechanism traps the sticks in a desired position and elevates them by means of co-operating retaining members (27,28) operated by a shaft carrying a block with an angled face which is engageable by a bell-crank lever carrying an arm that engages and displaces a lollipop stick (15) into engagement with an abutment. A recess on the elevator member (27) and a recess on the counter-elevator member (28) reliably trap the stick (15) and wrapping material (26) between them, for transfer to a wrapping head.
