Abstract
An apparatus for receiving and dispensing flat articles, particularly folded boxes in a packaging machine including a conveyor system extending substantially in the horizontal plane, and a vertical dispensing chute. To increase the supply of folded boxes, in order to achieve longer reloading intervals between reloading operations, three storage apparatus are disposed above the conveyor system. Each of the storage apparatus has one support that can be lowered into the plane of the conveyor system, and a selection from among these storage apparatus is made by a control device, from signals from fill level sensors and feed sensors.
