Abstract
A bag supply apparatus for use with an article packaging apparatus providing bags on demand along in a predefined product flow line. Two spaced apart supply magazines are employed as part of the bag supply apparatus, one magazine being disposed in the product flow line and the second magazine being out-board of the product flow line. Each magazine is of a three part construction having a central telescoping body with a pivoting tail end section and a lip portion opposite thereto. A positioning cam assembly urges the first magazine to a level consistent with the product flow line and is also responsive to a sensing arm disposed adjacent to the first magazine, for sensing the presence of bags at a predisposed operating height, so that the magazine moves upwardly at an incremental rate consistent with the supply of bags remaining in said magazine.
