The invention comprises an arrangement for transporting articles, in particular rectangular box-like packages into a single or plural paths packaging machine by at least one slider and a guiding flank. The arrangement includes a combined turning and collecting arrangement for the articles, respectively packages. The guiding flanks of this arrangement define the curved guiding paths which includes curved flanks which extend essentially angularly with respect to the transport direction and further include guide grooves which coact with the slider. By this arrangement, the articles, respectively packages are slidingly fed, turned and collected.

An improved arrangement for turning each of a series rectangular box-shaped articles during their transportation in a feed direction along a substantially horizontal feed path means which is laterally limited by curved guide means, including endless, drivable push means coacting with each one of said series of rectangular box-shaped articles, said push means include sliders which first engage excentrically each box-shaped article for turning it and then engage it centrally or symmetrically, the improvement comprising in combination, said feed path means includes a plurality of contiguous paths, each one of which has an outlet end, said contiguous paths converge toward each other near their outlet ends, said sliders include first and second slide means, said first slide means consist of a plurality of elements which are mounted in a row and spaced at a predetermined distance adjacent to each other, said distance is selected in such a way as to permit the passage of a rectangular box-shaped article between adjacent elements, said second slider means consist of a single transverse slider which extends transversely across all contiguous paths, said curved guide means is constructed in such a way that during a forward slide movement of said rectangular box-shaped articles along said contiguous paths said rectangular box-shaped articles are moved laterally, whereby the first slide means engage said rectangular box-shaped articles excentrically so that said articles are slidably turned into an intermediate position by engagement with said curved guide means and thereafter they are engaged by said single transverse slider and said articles are further turned and moved in said feed direction towards the outlet ends of said contiguous paths.
