Abstract
A method and apparatus for placing a cover on a box is provided wherein the box cover is first lowered inclined and placed on the opening of a moving box such that its edge leading in the direction of motion grips across the edge of the opening of the box leading in the direction of motion, and its edge trailing in the direction of motion, which edge is inclined upwardly, remains supported. The box is moved or advanced in the direction of motion so that the box pulls the cover from the support supporting the trailing edge of the cover and the latter places itself on the opening of the box. Pressure is then applied to the cover from above in order to completely force the cover over the edges of the opening of the box.
