Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0812768A1] The ticket (18) is folded and inserted in an erected folded box (3) together with the goods (1), the latter typically a stack of blister packets (2). Compartments (12) in an indexing conveyor (11) accommodate the goods, while the ticket is delivered into the ready position between each compartment and the box. A reciprocating slide (14) works at right angles to the conveyor travel direction and engages behind the goods to thrust them into the box. The roller (20) folds and inserts the ticket, being tangential to it and the box wall (4). It is driven in the insertion direction (13) with a peripheral speed roughly equal to the speed of the slide during the insertion stroke. Adjacent to the roller there can be a coupling component (30), particularly a folding strip (31) with edge (32), or a roller, moved to and fro in the insertion direction in relation to the roller. The strip can have a ramp face (35) working with the peripheral surface of the latter.
