In a device for transferring collapsed folding boxes automatically from a folding-box making machine to a bundling machine, the collapsed boxes 1, Fig. 1, are fed along a channel 2 and on to a platform 11, which forms the base of a pocket 14 of a rotating drum 15 of the bundling machine, where they are held upright against a spring-biased stop 9. Before passing on to the platform 11, the boxes are counted by a device 5 while momentarily separated by air from a nozzle 6. When a certain number have passed the device 5 a multiprong fork-shaped plate 7 descends to separate the counted batch from the rest and the stop 9 moves against the flow of the boxes to compress them. Finally, the compressed batch of boxes is removed downwards between the platform 11 and a vertically reciprocating plate 12, into the bundling machine. The channel 2 is provided with adjustable side guides 3, Fig. 4 (not shown), and is provided with an opening for visual inspection closed by a flap 4.
