Apparatus for forming a partition from a flat blank of material and inserting it into a container includes a forming assembly for bending the blank about a pair of preselected spaced-apart bend lines and for also folding the blank about a preselected central fold line. An “H”partition is thereby formed and it is introduced into a container. The introduction is facilitated by gate members which contact the container and provide a “funnel”through which the partition is directed.

Apparatus for forming a partition from a flat blank of material and inserting it into a container comprising: support means for holding the blank in a substantially horizontal position; forming means disposed adjacent said support means selectively operable for forming the blank into a folded partition of predetermined configuration, said forming means including first and second means, said first means being selectively operable for bending the blank about a pair of preselected, spaced-apart fold lines to form opposed, marginal flap portions, said second means being selectively operable for additionally folding the blank about a preselected central fold line generally perpendicular to said spaced-apart fold lines, said second means including a plurality of folding arm means mounted above said support means selectively operable for engaging the blank on opposite side expanses of said central fold line and simultaneously urging said expanses toward each other; and inserting means disposed adjacent said forming means selectively operable for shifting and introducing the folded partition into the container through an open end thereof.
