A device (1) for stabilizing a mutual gluing of flaps of one or more cardboard blanks (41, 42) applied to a tile or stack of tiles (2), a tile or stack of tiles (2) comprising an upper surface (3) and a plurality of flanks; one or more cardboard blanks (41, 42) being applied to the tile or stack of tiles (2) and comprising a first flap (21) and a second flap (22) which are folded against the upper surface (3) of the tile or stack of tiles (2), the first flap (21) and the second flap (22) being superposed on one another at a first superposing zone (31), the first flap (21) and the second flap (22) being glued to one another at the first superposing zone (31). The device (1) comprises: a seating (13) for restingly receiving the tile or stack of tiles (2) which has been packed with the one or more cardboard blanks (41, 42); a first metal band (14) which: is fixed to the frame (9); is elastically flexible; is arranged above the seating (13) such as to elastically press against the first superposing zone (31) when a tile or packed stack of tiles (2) is in the seating (13), stabilizing the mutual gluing of the first flap (21) and the second flap (22); and conforms a lead-in for facilitating inserting by dragging of the tile or stack of tiles (2) packed into the seating (13).

AN APPARATUS OR PACKING A TILE OR A STACK OF TILES WITH A PAIR OF CARDBOARD BLANKS
An apparatus (1) for packing a tile or a stack of tiles (2) by means of a pair of cardboard blanks, comprising: first folding means (36) for applying a first cardboard blank (9) to a tile or stack of tiles (2), realising a first semi-pack (91); a rotary platform (26) arranged downstream of the first folding means (36); a first structure (40) mounted on the rotary platform (26) and which comprises a first seating (51) for receiving a semi-packed tile or stack of tiles (2), which first structure (40) can rotate between a first angular position (A), in which it is possible to transfer the semi-packed tile or stack of tiles (2) coming from the first folding means (36) into the first seating (51), and a second angular position in which the semi-packed tile or stack of tiles (2) can be expelled from the first seating (51); first pushing means (63, 64) acting along the first structure (40) such as to expell the semi-packed tile or stack of tiles (2) from the first seating (51) when the first structure (40) is in the second angular position; second folding means (37) arranged downstream of the first structure (40) such as to apply a second cardboard blank (10) to the semi- packed tile or stack of tiles (2), thus realising a second semi-pack (92) which together with the first semi-pack (91) forms a pack.
