To perform processing of enclosing as much of article as possible into a predetermined bag with as few steps and labor as possible.SOLUTION: An article encasing apparatus includes a hopper 16 that includes a discharge opening 24 of an article and storing the article, an arm 20 that is connected to a predetermined rotational axis 28 extending in a horizontal direction at one end portion of a long member connected to the hopper and moves a position of the discharge opening 24 of the hopper connected with rotation around the rotational axis, bag carrying portions 70a and 70b that carry a bag into which the article is to be encased, an attachment structure 44 for attaching the bag so as to fix an opening portion of the bag, and a bag attachment portion 12 that includes a movable member 40 for freely moving the bag carrying portions 70a and 70b in a state in which the bag carrying portions are inclined at an arbitrary inclination angle with respect to the horizontal direction. Due to the movement of the arm 20 and the movement of the bag attachment portion 12, the discharge opening 24 of the hopper is configured to be adjustable so as to located above a position of the bag carried at the arbitrary inclination angle by the bag carrying portion.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】できるだけ少ない工程および労力でできるだけ多量の物品を所定の袋に入れる処理を実行する。【解決手段】物品の排出口２４を含み物品を貯留するホッパ１６と、ホッパと連結されている長尺状の部材の一方の端部は水平方向に延びる所定の回動軸２８と接続され、回動軸を中心とする回動に伴って連結されているホッパの排出口２４の位置を移動させるアーム２０と、物品を投入する袋を担持する袋担持部７０ａ、７０ｂ、袋の開口部を固定するようにして袋を取り付ける取付構造体４４および袋担持部７０ａ、７０ｂを水平方向に対して任意の傾斜角をつけた状態に自在に可動させる可動部材４０を含む袋取付部１２を有する。アーム２０の移動および袋取付部１２の可動により、ホッパの排出口２４は袋担持部により任意の傾斜角で担持された袋の開口部の位置の上方に位置するよう調整可能に構成されている。【選択図】図３
