Abstract
This invention relates to a method of bundling bars together which reduces the sound levels generated hitherto in conventional bundling pockets. In particular, bars are successively and separately transported laterally from a support table to run down an arm which is reciprocably movable by a motor driven mechanism. Movement of the arm upwards forces a pawl away from the position shown affording access to the bar into the bottom of the pocket, the bar being carried upwardly by the arm against the downward pressure of any bundled bars already in situ. The pawl returns to its position of rest before the arm is retracted and the cycle is repeated.
