Claim:
A device ( 10 ) for introducing goods to be packed ( 1 , 3 ) into packaging containers ( 5 ), having a first conveyor device ( 11 ) feeding the packaging containers ( 5 ) at equal spacings, having a second conveyor device ( 15 ) carrying receptacles of goods to be packed ( 1 , 3 ), wherein the two conveyor devices ( 11 , 15 ) are aligned with one another at least in an introduction region of the goods to be packed ( 1 , 3 ) and are operated synchronously with one another in the feeding direction of the conveyor devices ( 11 , 15 ), having an insertion element ( 20 ) for inserting the goods to be packed ( 1 , 3 ) from the receptacles into the packaging container ( 5 ), having a holding-down element ( 25 ) secured to a carrier element ( 32 ), for holding down the goods to be packed ( 1 , 3 ), which holding-down element ( 25 ) is displaceable transversely to the feeding direction of the conveyor devices ( 11 , 15 ) into the packaging container ( 5 ), having a drive mechanism ( 31 ), which, via the carrier element ( 32 ), sets the holding-down element ( 25 ) into an up and down motion, and having an overload protector ( 35 ), disposed in the carrier element ( 32 ), for the holding-down element ( 25 ), wherein overload protector ( 35 ), upon an overload on the holding-down element ( 25 ), deflects the holding-down element ( 25 ) out of its intended path of motion, and the holding-down element ( 25 ) is disposed movably on the carrier element ( 32 ), and the holding-down element ( 25 ) is guided in the carrier element ( 32 ) in the direction of the insertion motion of the goods to be packed ( 1 , 3 ) into the packaging container ( 5 ).
