Abstract
Abstract A carton blank jogger assembly for a carton blank stacker including a number of jogger plates alternately secured to parallel cross bars which are oscillated in equal but opposite directions to jog each alternate stack of carton blanks on each reversal of motion of said cross bars. A tooling block is secured to the lower edge of each jogger plate in a position to guide and jog the carton blanks into stacks. Each tooling block has an upper beveled guide surface and an inner jogging surface which conforms to the configuration of the blank being stacked.
