Abstract: A system for loading a predetermined plurality of rows of rolls of coins from a roll-receiving table into a box includes conveyor means for receiving each fully loaded box, means movable between raised and lowered positions for supporting the box on a side thereof with an opening of the box exposed to receive rows of rolls urged endwise into the box from the table to cause the box to move downwardly upon receipt of each row of rolls. Means limiting the downward movement of the box-supporting means after each loading of a row of rolls into the box serves to register the box opening in position to receive each subsequent row of rolls. A fulcrum means carried substantially at the predetermined level of the conveyor when the box has been filled permits the box to be tipped across the fulcrum onto the conveyor to dispose the box opening at the top of the box for transport via the conveyor to an inspection station. The limiting means serves to inhibit the downward movement of the box upon arrival of the box at a next subsequent loading position and in response to successive loadings of each of a series of predetermined numbers of rolls into the box serves to move the box in stages in response to each loading. A preferred method carries out the above steps.
