Abstract (en)

In a method and apparatus for inserting empty bags (1) into retainers (2), guide members (3, 4) are caused to approach both side edges of each supplied bag (1) so that the vertically oriented guide grooves of the guide members contacted the side edges of the bag (1), thus positioning the bag (1) in a position that is vertically aligned with a retainer (2). The bag mouth is opened by suction disks (5, 6), and a plug (7) is brought into the opened bag mouth. Then, the plug (7) is lowered toward the retainer (2), so that both side edges of the bag (1) is inserted into the insertion grooves of the retainer (2). After this insertion, a compressed gas is jetted out of a discharge opening at the tip end of the plug (7) into the bag (1), so that the bag (1) is spread open to the bottom thereof. <IMAGE>
