Abstract: A machine and method for setting up cartons by inserting the bottoms of the cartons into the tops of the cartons consists of first and second parallel ramp portions onto which the respective sections of the carton are fed. Laterally adjustable vertical guides are located on the outer portions of the ramp portions to maintain proper orientation of carton sections as they slide down the ramp portions. The ramp portions terminate at respective backstops which limit further movement of carton sections. A pneumatically operated pusher, responsive to limit switches located in the backstops, inserts the bottom carton section into the top carton section and subsequently pushes the set-up carton off from the machine only when the limit switches indicate that both carton sections are properly positioned against the backstops. The pusher portion is supported by a sliding side guide which also acts as a stop for preventing incoming cartons from reaching the set-up area until the pusher is fully withdrawn.

Abstract translation: 通过将纸箱的底部插入纸箱的顶部来设置纸箱的机器和方法由第一和第二平行斜面部分组成，纸箱的各个部分被供给到该第一和第二平行的斜面部分上。 纵向可调的垂直导轨位于斜坡部分的外部，以便当它们沿斜坡部分滑下时保持纸箱部分的适当取向。 坡道部分终止于相应的止挡，这限制了纸箱部分的进一步移动。 气动操作的推动器响应于位于后挡块中的限位开关，将底部纸箱部分插入到顶部纸箱部分中，随后仅当限位开关指示两个纸箱部分适当地定位时，将其从机器上推离机器 支持者 推动器部分由滑动侧引导件支撑，滑动侧引导件还用作止挡件，用于防止进入的纸箱到达安装区域，直到推动器完全拉出。
