Abstract (en)

An assembly is provided for supplying a plurality of container ends to a bag and folding the open end of the bag closed. The assembly comprises a bag retaining device for retaining the open end of the bag in a position for receiving the container ends. A positioning device is employed for positioning the container ends into the bag. The positioning device may include a trough for directing the container ends toward the open end of the bag, a separating device for separating a plurality of container ends, and a displacing member for inserting the plurality of container ends into the bag. The bag is longer than the plurality of container ends and thus has an empty portion near its open end after the container ends are inserted therein. A folding device is further provided for folding a part of the empty portion of the bag into overlapping relation with another part of the bag, wherein the folding device engages opposing surfaces of the empty portion of the bag.
