Abstract

A packaging machine comprises a transfer device for inserting a product into a package and a circulating leaflet supply device comprising a plurality of tong-like holders which are disposed in a row, for receiving one leaflet each, and for bringing the leaflet into the region of the transfer device between the product and the package such that it can be inserted together with the product into the package. An opening unit with at least one stop is disposed in the transport path of the holders for opening the holders to release the leaflet. The stop can be adjusted in dependence on an opening signal of a control device between an operative position opening the holders and an inoperative position in which the holders pass the stop without releasing the leaflet. A first detector device is thereby provided for detecting the insertion motion of the product into the package and for transmitting a corresponding insertion signal to the control device when the product is being inserted, wherein the control device generates the opening signal only when the insertion signal is present.
