Abstract:
An article accumulation pattern building load plate assembly is provided. The assembly includes a deck for support of patterned articles, a stop for retaining deck supported articles, and spaced apart guides adjustably positionable in relation to the deck so as to transversely guide articles thereacross towards the stop. Articles of the patterned articles are received at an ingress portion of the assembly from a metered article source, the articles extendable at least across a width of the deck in a direction transverse to an article ingress direction. The stop is adjacent the deck, extending in a direction transverse to the article ingress direction, the stop delimiting an egress portion of the assembly.

Claim (Index 20):
Apparatus for sequential receipt of articles in furtherance of forming a selectively patterned article group characterized by at least a single row and multiple columns in advance of subsequent transfer of the selectively patterned article group from the apparatus, the apparatus comprising:\n a. a frame; b. a deck upon which accumulating articles are supportable, said deck supported by said frame and having a length corresponding to a direction of article flow, and a width corresponding to a transverse direction to article flow; c. an actuatable stop supported by said frame adjacent said deck, said stop extending in the transverse direction of article flow for retention of accumulating articles supported upon said deck, actuation of said actuatable stop permitting a translated egress of the selectively patterned article group from said deck; d. spaced apart blocks operably positionable over select portions of said deck, articles receivable upon operably positioned spaced apart blocks so as to be in an elevated condition relative to a surface of said deck; and, e. spaced apart guides adjustably positionable so as to direct articles towards said stop.
