Abstract

The apparatus has a feed conveyor. Located at the downstream end of the feed conveyor is the transfer region, through which the movement path of clamps runs. The clamp has two clamp elements, which can be moved from an open position into a closed position for gripping and retaining an article. The clamp is assigned a holding-open element which, when the article is gripped by means of the clamp, ends up between the two parts of the article lifted off from one another by means of the opening apparatus, and which is intended for holding the article open when the clamp is closed. In some embodiments, the clamp and the holding-open element is moved out of the region of the article in the direction of the axis of rotation with the result that the article ends up located in straddling fashion on the relevant saddle-like vest.
