Abstract
A bagging machine which automatically encloses a garment in a bag. A continuous web of flexible material is fed into the machine, separated to form a tube, and that tube of material is pulled down over the garment. Material pulldown is stopped according to the length of the garment, the material is sealed, cut off from the web of material, then pulldown is completed to force a hanger through the top of the bag thus formed. In the preferred embodiment, pneumatic cylinders are used, and no electric motors are required. A hanger mechanism supports a garment in a manner which permits that garment to accommodate misalignment with respect to the machine, and the web separator is self-adjusting.
