Abstract
Apparatus for packaging commodities particularly delicate articles consists of a hollow vertical mandrel over which a tubular flexible packaging material is driven. The material is axially slit as it passes over the mandrel to allow the commodities to be inserted into the mandrel through a product opening and the tube is axially resealed and transversely sealed on issuance from the mandrel discharge end. According to the invention a platform is provided below the mandrel which is lifted into the mandrel interior so that the commodities can be inserted through the product opening and supported by the platform to prevent their dropping through the mandrel interior. The platform is then retracted to provide descending continuous support for the commodities during the remainder of the packaging process.
