Abstract (en)

A device for use in a machine for packaging bottles in a wraparound carton which comprises folders (12) having pivotal fingers (13,14) for engaging and folding a pair of bottle heel retention flaps (f1, f2) and to fold such flaps inwardly of the carton. The pivotal folder is adapted to execute a folding movement thereby progressively to enter an aperture in the blank to fold the flaps and to retrace therefrom during feed movement of the blank. The pivotal folder includes a follower (30) to execute the folding movement and the retracting movement. The pivotal fingers pivot upon radial movement of the folder. <IMAGE>
