BOX PACKING DEVICE

This invention provides a box packing apparatus with high processing efficiency which is equipped with a support component that supports a box that is in a state in which an opening thereof faces sideways in a loading location of articles to be packed and moves the box that has been loaded with the articles to be packed from the loading location. The box packing apparatus loads a plurality of the articles into each of cardboard boxes (C) which is delivered one after another to a loading location of articles (A), by feeding the articles in the box through an opening (Op). The box packing apparatus is equipped with a supporting and moving component (30), arms (40), and a feed mechanism (50). The supporting and moving component supports the cardboard box in the loading location of the articles in a state in which the opening thereof faces sideways and moves the cardboard box that has been loaded with the articles from the loading location. The arms temporarily support the cardboard box that is delivered to the loading location of the articles in a state in which the opening thereof faces sideways, when the supporting and moving component moves the cardboard box that has been loaded with the articles. The feed mechanism feeds the articles into the cardboard box being supported at least by the arms through the opening.
