摘要： A continuous motion, end loading packaging machine (10) forms article groups of a predetermined number and configuration using a flight type article selector (16). The packaging machine (10) is flexible in its ability to package articles of different heights and diameters in various product configurations. The packaging machine (10) includes adjustable guide rails (34) to selectively change product infeed lane widths. The machine (10) also includes means to phase adjust the selector flights (60) and allows for easy selector flight replacement.

摘要： A partition feeder (10) has a multi-rack assembly for holding more than one reserve stack of partitions (14). The partition feeder (10) has a main stack of partitions which is forced against a set of tabs (18) and which has its partitions (14) removed by a selecting apparatus (32). When the main stack has been reduced down past a certain amount, one of the reserve stacks is automatically moved into alignment with the main stack and the partitions (14) in the reserve stack are added to the main stack. The partition feeder (10) has guide rails that are received in notched sides of the partitions, thereby suspending the partitions (14) on the guide rails (12). An inner frame (166), upon which the guide rails (12) are mounted, is adjustably mounted to a middle frame (164) to thereby permit the adjustment of the distance between the guide rails (12). The partition feeder can therefore be easily adjusted for partitions of different sizes.

摘要： A force sensing assembly measures a magnitude of a force generated at the tabs in a product delivery system. The product delivery system can be one in which a force is produced at the tabs by the weight of the stack, by a paddle pushing an end of the stack, or by another similar type of advancing mechanism. In a preferred embodiment, the force sensing assembly has a pair of tabs connected to a cross-bar which extends across the stack and which is connected to the frame of the feeder through a bell crank at one end and a lever at the other end. The bell crank has one arm connected to the cross-bar and a second arm connected to a load cell. The force at the tabs causes the lever and bell crank to rotate, with the force being transmitted through the bell crank, through a spring, and then to the load cell. The load cell generates a force signal which is supplied to a controller for adjusting the amount of force at the tabs. The controller adjusts the force by adding more products to the stack or by advancing the stack closer to the tabs. The load cell preferably has a stopper for preventing an excessive amount of force from reaching the cell.

摘要： A partition inserter (10) has a vacuum assembly (65, 68) which pivots out to contact an end partition (25) in a stack, pivots back to remove the partition (25), and then moves downwardly to release the partition (25). When the partition (25) is released from the vacuum cups (66, 69), the partition (25) is guided downwardly by a pair of conveyors (73) to a set of shooter wheels (76). The conveyor (73) and shooter wheels (76) are mounted to a set of plates (97) which are adjustably mounted to the frame (11) of the apparatus. The distance between the conveyors (73) and shooter wheels (76) can be adjusted to equal the width of the partition (25).

摘要： An article packaging machine comprises a frame (12), a carton conveyor (18) mounted to the frame for conveying cartons (81) along a carton path, and an infeed conveyor assembly for grouping articles such as beverage cans into groups of predetermined size and moving them toward and into open cartons moving along the carton path. When the cartons are packed with articles, adhesive is applied to the flaps of their open ends and the flaps are folded over onto themselves. A spring biased free floating compression section has a pair of opposed compression belt assemblies (26, 27) that are yieldably spring biased toward each other to apply pressure to the ends of the containers to set the adhesive, thus sealing the ends of the packaged cartons shut. When the cartons are sealed, they are ejected from the packaging machine by a pair of opposed ejector belt assemblies (48).

摘要： A packaging machine has a partition inserter (32) and selecting apparatus (34) suspended above a flow of articles (8) and mounted to an inner frame (40) which can be raised or lowered to adjust the spacing between the partition inserter and selecting apparatus relative to the articles. The partition inserter and selecting apparatus are mounted to the inner frame on guide rails (43) for lateral displacement to a position over a maintenance deck (90), and are releasably engaged to each other for maintenance access. The packaging machine preferably has three pairs of partition inserters and selecting apparatus suspended over the articles in staggered arrangement, and each pair is accurately positioned to a desired location with a semi-automatic adjustment system.

摘要： A hold-down element (40) for a rotary feeder has a curved elongated member for continuously contacting an article during rotation of a rotary head (20). The curvature of the hold-down element is selected so that the distance from the elongated member to the rotary head increases from the point of initial contact to the final contact point on the elongated member. The hold-down element preferably maintains contact for at least 20° of rotation of the rotary head, and thus maintains contact with the article for an extended period of time. The hold-down element is attached to a vacuum shaft (48) on the rotary head, and is prevented from rotating relative to the vacuum shaft by a keyway (43) on the hold-down element and a key on the vacuum shaft. The hold-down element, however, is permitted to travel transversely along a longitudinal axis of the vacuum shaft in order to accommodate different shaped articles.
