See full text

A method and apparatus for placing multiple crimped flexible pieces into concave formed shells. In the method, a plurality of flat fibrous web pieces are provided on a shuttle device and are picked up and crimped longitudinally by gripper fingers, and each piece is transferred laterally to a location over a formed shell then lowered and inserted into the shell. While the pieces are on the shuttle device they are moved apart from each other. Also, during lateral transfer the crimped pieces are moved longitudinally and are also bowed longitudinally while being placed into the concave formed shells. Suitable apparatus is also disclosed for picking up and crimping the flexible pieces and laterally transferring the pieces and placing them in the concave formed shells.
