摘要： An apparatus for automatically opening and loading collapsed bottle carriers or cartons, which are formed of paperboard or similar foldable sheet material and which are adapted to be loaded through an open bottom after being set up into tubular condition, which apparatus comprises conveyor mechanism for advancing successive collapsed cartons and associated plow members for opening the same into tubular shape, with the cartons assuming a vertical position above a bottle carrying and grouping conveyor which delivers successive groups of the bottles to an assembly area where the cartons are lowered onto the bottle groups and thereafter advanced through mechanism which closes top and bottom wall forming panels and engages locking and latching members formed in overlapping margins of the panels so as to complete the packaging operation.This invention relates to packaging machinery or apparatus and is more particularly concerned with improvements in apparatus for opening collapsed or flattened carriers or cartons for beverage bottles, or similar articles, and filling the same with a predetermined number of bottles wherein the carriers are of the type which are initially formed as a collapsed tube with top and bottom wall forming panels extended in the plane of the side wall forming panels and having overlapping margins witth interengageable locking and latching elements herein.In the marketing of products such as bottled and canned beverages and the like, many different packaging arrangements have been employed. Generally, each new packaging design has resulted in the development of new machinery for handling the packaging operations. Two general types of packages have proven most acceptable to the beverage bottling and canning industry, both of which are adapted to contain a multiplicity of the product elements, usually six, eight or twelve bottles or cans. One form of package, used most often for canned beverages, is formed by wrapping an elongate rectangular blank, which is especially cut and scored, about an assembly of cans or bottles with its end secured so as to tightly enclose the assembly. Another type of package which is used for bottled beverages employs a carton which is in the form of a cellular basket with an open top and having a collapsed cell-forming partition structure which is opened up to receive the bottles when the initially collapsed carrier is set up. In loading this type carrier the bottles are dropped into the cells through the open top of the carrier. This involves considerable handling of the bottles which is undesirable. More recently there has been developed a package which employs a carton having some of the characteristics of both the basket type and the wraparound type and which is fabricated in collapsed or flattened condition with bottom wall forming panels initially extended in the plane of the side walls and enabling the container to be opened into tubular form and dropped over an assembly of bottles after which the bottom wall panels, and in some designs also the top wall panels, are folded to closed position and connected by interengaging locking and latching elements. A carton design of the latter type is disclosed in the application of Edwin A. Arneson and Guelfo A. Manizza, Ser. No. 368,825, filed June 11, 1973. It is a general object of the present invention to provide a machine which will open up a carton or carrier of this general type, drop it over an assembly of bottles, close and latch the panels forming the top and bottom wall of the package, which machine will operate efficiently at a relatively high rate of speed so as to be adapted for use in high speed beverage bottling and canning lines.It is a more specific object of the invention to provide an apparatus for automatically opening, or setting up, collapsed bottle carriers or cartons and filling the same, the cartons being of the type which are adapted to be opened, and to be filled or loaded by depositing them on groups or assemblies of bottles which are advancing on a conveyor in a bottling line or the like, and thereafter closing the bottoms by folding and latching bottom wall forming panels.It is another object of the invention to provide a machine for opening up collapsed bottle carriers or cartons which are of the type which are initially formed in collapsed tubular condition and with bottom wall forming panels extending in the plane of the side wall panels wherein the machine includes an entrance conveyor having a top run onto which successive collapsed cartons are fed and advanced to an opening station where they are each swung to an upright position and simultaneously opened into tubular condition for deposit from the top into an assembly of bottles carried on a conveyor beneath the carton supporting and feeding conveyor.It is another object of the invention to provide an apparatus for opening up collapsed bottle packaging cartons which are adapted to be loaded through the bottom wherein the apparatus comprises a horizontally disposed conveyor run on which the collapsed cartons are advanced and opened by means of associated mechanism for turning a bottom wall forming panel into a vertical plane and thereafter swinging the remainder of the carton upwardly while opening it into squared up condition so as to enable it to be advanced to a station or area where it is aligned with and dropped down over an assembly of bottles advancing on a feeding conveyor traveling in a path beneath the carton conveyor.It is another object of the invention to provide an apparatus for opening up bottle packaging cartons which are initially formed in collapsed tubular condition wherein the apparatus comprises a horizontally disposed conveyor run on which the cartons are advanced and associated mechanism for confining in a predetermined path one of a pair of bottom wall forming panels while turning the carton about the hinge connection of the confined panel with the side wall, into an upright position, and simultaneously squaring up the carton into tubular form, the apparatus including also mechanism enabling successive cartons to be deposited on an assembly of bottles after which the assembly is advanced through mechanism for folding top and bottom wall forming panels into closed position and for latching the same.

摘要： A carton handling and loading method and machine are provided wherein the cartons to be processed are initially folded to a flat condition and then erected into the configuration of a generally tubular carton structure open at its ends, the articles to be packaged are loaded into the carton structure through one of its open ends while its opposite open end is blocked by a removable closure member, the ends of the carton structure are then closed by folding end flaps of the carton across these ends, and the end flaps are finally sealed to provide a completed package.

摘要： 1,144,115. Packaging; endless conveyers. FMC. CORP. 2 June, 1967 [8 July, 1966], No. 25469/67. Headings B8A and B8C. An apparatus for holding cartons in a fully erected position while they are filled and sealed, has carriers 20 with two adjacent walls and a gate 26 that pivots between a horizontal open position and an upright position to clamp the carton, the carriers being mounted on a conveyer 22. The cartons are introduced two at a time into two adjacent carriers by transfer mechanisms 28, 30 (no details given). Attached to a stationary post 25a are cam means, (92), Fig. 2 (not shown) to move arms 80 by rods 81, 82 away from a stop 89 into the path of a trip lever 64. Contact with the lever closes the gates 26 to hold the cartons erect. Two cam means, arranged at different heights to operate the rods 81, 82 which are of different lengths, allow two gates to be closed simultaneously. The trip lever 64 is connected to an overcentre device Fig. 9 (not shown). When a carton is not present in the carrier, the gate 26 rests on the edge of the wall 50. A device, Fig. 12, for ejecting a filled, sealed carton C from a carrier 20 comprises a triangular shaped cam 120 (shown in plan) that opens the gates in succession, and deflecting fingers 122 each having a roller 124 that pushes a carton C clear of a projection 52 enabling stationary guides 114, 116 to urge it on to the discharge conveyer 34.
