摘要:
An integrally formed bottle carrier with a plurality of spaced split collars in which bottles can be locked into and supported by their neck-shoulders and removed, each collar supported by an individual frame interconnected to an adjoining frame by a ribbed member, and a plurality of flexible tabs attached to the sides of the bottle carrier to permit machine loading of bottles into the bottle carrier.

A bottle carrier with a body with a plurality of spaced means for receiving and retaining the enlarged neck-shoulders of bottles, and a bottle separator attached to the body by hinged legs in the same plane as the body so as to permit the extension of the legs to a position vertical to the body during the loading of bottles into the bottle carrier so that the bottle separator prevents contact between the body portions of bottles held in the carrier.

A packaging machine includes means for withdrawing insert blanks from a hopper and for prebreaking the parts which are detachably held in the planes of the blank and for subsequently manipulating each blank into partially set-up condition and for moving the partially set-up blank downwardly and around the necks of a group of bottles in such manner as to fold end tabs foldably joined to the partition tabs into flat face contacting relationship with the associated partition tabs by engagement of the end tabs with the necks of the associated bottles. According to one feature of the disclosure, the bottles are fed into positions wherein they are arranged in groups into which the inserts are lowered and the groups are controlled by suitable spacer elements movably mounted on an endless feed element each of which includes an article engaging pusher projection for imparting movement to a group of preceding articles together with an article engaging restraining projection which moves into the path of articles and restrains the movement of a succeeding group so as to control and precisely determine the position of the group of articles in order to insure cooperative and synchronous cooperation with means for securing the insert into a group of articles in such manner that two plys of material constitute separating partition means between adjacent articles.

A machine withdraws collapsed sleeve type containers in sequence from a hopper and sets up each collapsed blank into a condition for receiving bottles through the open ends thereof and includes an oscillatable loading arm disposed adjacent an open end of the set-up sleeve for engaging articles and for moving those articles into the open end of the sleeve together with movable end flap folding means for engaging end flaps disposed on one end edge of a trailing side wall together with a fixed plow which engages end flaps foldably joined to an end edge of a leading side wall to manipulate those flaps into closed condition following loading, and fixed top and bottom end flap folding plows engage the top and bottom end flaps in sequence to fold those flaps into closed condition following operation of glue applying means which applies glue to the outer surface of the upper end flap immediately prior to engagement of that surface by the inner surface of the lower end flap.
摘要:
An article carrier for use in conjunction with fragile articles arranged in at least two rows of at least two articles each is provided with a partition insert structure arranged to afford double thickness separation between adjacent articles and includes a pair of vertically disposed main panels arranged in back to back disposition together with a horizontally disposed spacer panel foldably joined along its side edges of the bottom edges of the main panels by serpentine fold lines to establish pockets adjacent the articles for affording cushioning action. At least one partition strip may be interconnected with one of the main panels at one end thereof and to a partition panel at the other end thereof. A pair of inserts may be arranged within the enclosed structure in such manner that the partition panels of both inserts are disposed in flat face contacting relation to each other so as to obtain a double thickness separator between the rows of adjacent articles, double thickness between articles in each row also being provided by cross partition tabs doubled back on themselves.

A carton for packaging a plurality of cylindrical articles includes top, bottom and side walls foldably joined to form an end loading tubular structure, as well as end closure flaps foldably joined to each end edge of the top and side walls together with a bottom end closure flap adjoined to each end edge of the bottom wall of the carton by an upwardly and outwardly inclined bevel strip disposed alongside inwardly and downwardly inclined beveled circular connecting structure forming the lower rim portion of the packaged items thereby to eliminate square corners at the ends of the bottom of the carton and a resulting tendency of the end walls of the carton to bow outwardly when stacked in tiers, one above the other.
摘要:
An economical mechanically strong bottle carrier of the wrap around type having top, bottom and side walls interconnected to form a tubular open ended structure is provided with bottle engaging and carrier reinforcing flaps which are associated with certain bottle heel receiving apertures at the carrier corners are arranged so as effectively to prevent dislodgment of the bottles from the open ended tubular structure and which in addition constiute significant reinforcement for the corners of the carrier so that the carrier formed of light weight paperboard is of sufficient mechanical strength whereby rupture of the carrier is prevented and secure retention of bottles is effected.
摘要:
A package (10) of the wrap-around type including a wrapper (12) formed from paperboard or similar foldable sheet material and accommodating containers arranged in two parallel rows, which package comprises a keel construction (32) providing support for each container and separating one row of containers from the other row, said keel construction being released by cuts from a base panel (14) of the wrapper and including a separator platform (34) held substantially parallel to said base panel by a plurality of support legs (36-42; 60-64) each of which is hinged to the base panel and to one side of the separator platform.
摘要:
A machine for forming and applying carrying straps to cartons includes strip measuring means for supplying a strip of predetermined length from a supply of strip material, strip looping means for receiving said strip from said strip measuring means and for gripping said strip near the leading end thereof, motive means for rotating said strip looping means in a direction such that the trailing end of said strip overlaps said leading end thereof, holding means for engaging and holding said overlapping ends in face contacting relation, means for severing said strip at the trailing end thereof from said supply of strip material, securing means for attaching said overlapped ends of said strip together to form an endless strap, means for applying said strap in enveloping relation to at least some articles of a group of articles to be packaged, means for inserting said group of articles into an open ended sleeve type carton having end flaps at least some of which are apertured to expose a part of said strap, means for closing said end flaps, and means for securing said end flaps in closed condition.
