摘要:
An apparatus for feeding cartons in succession from a stack of cartons carried in an elongated chute onto a receiving chute. The apparatus includes a support member which has a plurality of picker fingers carried thereon. The support member is moved from a carton grasping position to a carton release position. When the support member is moved to the carton grasping position, picker fingers including power-operated cylinders having enlarged gripping heads provided on the end of the piston thereof are activated for retracting the heads for grasping the edge of the last carton in the stack for lifting said carton above an abutment and allowing the carton to drop into the receiving chute when said support member is moved back to the depositing position.

A device for depalletizing tiers of articles and depositing said articles carried on a multi-tier pallet A onto a receiving table.The device includes an elevator clamp C which extends over the multi-tier pallet A and, upon being lowered to the top tier of articles, four spaced walls of the clamp are moved inwardly for gripping the bottles therebetween. The elevator is then raised with the top layer of articles and shifted forward over a receiving table E. The elevator with said articles are lowered for depositing the articles onto the receiving table. Prior to the articles being deposited on the receiving table E, side walls of the receiving table are moved apart so that the articles can be readily received therebetween. After the articles are deposited on the table E, the side walls are brought back together forcing the articles into alignment so that a wiper arm F can shift successive rows of articles onto a table top conveyor G.

A device for feeding cartons in succession from a stack of cartons for being deposited on top of articles carried in a case being moved on a conveyor. A plurality of picker fingers are selectively moved to and from the stack of cartons, and outwardly extending projections carried on top of the picker fingers extend between the lowermost carton and the next carton. Upon lowering of the picker fingers, the lowermost cartons of the stack are deposited on a feed chute for delivery to the case. The case is moved along the conveyor under a pressure foot which presses the cartons down over the tops of the articles for securing the articles in packages.

A carton erecting and finishing machine is disclosed as including a conveying system for directing stacks of flat carton blanks to a lifting station whereat a stack is vertically lifted to present the topmost blank to a feed station. A blank separating device is arranged to feed each of the blank seriatim to a carton erecting station to be actetd upon by vacuum caps to open the carton by erecting the side panels. While at the erecting station and immediately after erecting of the side panels, a first pair of flap-folding devices are activated to fold the bottom end flaps of the erected carton. While still at the erecting station and immediately after activation of the first set of flap-folding devices, a second pair of flap-folding devices are activated to partially fold the bottom side panels over the previously folded end flaps. A raking device is next activated to move the erected carton to a gluing station where gluing devices are arranged to apply glue to the folded bottom end flaps. After the application of glue, a compression plunger is directed through the interior of the carton to compress the side panels upon the end panels thereby finishing the mounting of the open carton preparatory to the use thereof.

A bottle loading machine for loading bottles 22 such as 1, 2 and 3 liter bottles into sockets 12 of cases 14 from a substantially continuous flow of bottles. The bottles are successfully fed in aligned rows to an upper end of an inclined slide 20 so that bottles slide down the slide on their bottoms in abutting relationship to a loading station 18. An elongated case feeding plate 26 is positioned below said inclined side for guiding cases to the loading station. A case feeding device 32 carried adjacent the elongated case feeding plate engages the cases and forces the cases at a preset feed rate towards the loading station in an end to end abutting relationship. Elongated members 80 engage the shoulders of the bottles as the bottles drop off the incline slide 20 to force the bottles into sockets 12 provided in the cases 22. A braking member 34 is carried adjacent the loading platform 18 for retarding the movement of the cases as they are loaded.
摘要:
A heat-shrinkable holder is disclosed for securing a plurality of articles. The holder may include a first sheet formed of heat-shrinkable material, and a second sheet formed of heat-shrinkable material and joined to the first sheet. The first sheet and the second sheet each have a substantially equal pre-shrinking length, and are joined so as to create at least two openings therebetween. Each of the openings is sized larger than one of the articles. The first and second sheets are heat-shrinkable to an extent to shrink the openings sufficiently to secure two of the articles together into a unit. Various modifications and additions are possible, including use of more than three sheets, providing for the reading of printed indicia on the articles or holder, providing a handle. Numerous orientations and collections of articles are possible. Related packages including a holder and articles are also disclosed, as well as related methods of manufacture of the holder and package.

A shrink film applying apparatus includes an article feed for feeding articles for shrink-wrapping at line pressure; a wrapping conveyor driven at a wrapping speed through a wrapping zone, the wrapping conveyor receiving articles from the article feed. First and second films are supplied to the wrapping zone. A plurality of flight bars are individually driven in a path at a variable speed. A sealing mechanism within the wrapping zone seals the first film to the second film at contact points to form a circumferential film unit substantially surrounding grouped articles within loops of second film and a corresponding portion of the first film, the film unit being shrinkable about the grouped articles to form a package. Related methods and subassemblies of the apparatus are disclosed.

摘要:
A link is disclosed for a conveyor suitable for conveying objects along a transport direction. The link includes a body having a length extending across the direction of transport and a width extending along the direction of transport. The body has a conveying surface and two opposed gripping members extending from the conveying surface. Each gripping member is movable from a first opened position to a second gripping position. The gripping members each include a gripping arm configured to be pivotable relative to the conveying surface when the gripping members move from the first position to the second position. The gripping arms are located so as to be able to contact one of the objects when the gripping members are in the second position to hold the object relative to the link during transport. The link includes at least one spring member urging the gripping members toward the second position. Various other related options are disclosed, along with related conveyors.
