摘要: An article packaging machine includes a trailing article pusher assembly for pushing the trailing articles of a packaging production run down infeed conveyer lanes and through workstations of the packaging machine so that the trailing articles can be packaged. The pusher assembly comprises a pusher chain that is flexible in one direction to allow the chain to be coiled upon itself and generally inflexible in the other direction beyond a substantially straight configuration of the chain. A pusher block is attached to a free end of the pusher chain. The pusher chain is normally stowed on a take-up magazine beside its associated infeed lane during a packaging operation. When the trailing articles of a production run approach the workstations of the packaging machine, a gate opens to allow the pusher chain and its pusher block to be extended into the infeed lane behind the last trailing article. A drive sprocket engaged with the pusher chain is rotated to extend the chain and its pusher block into the infeed lane until the pusher block engages and exerts a pushing force on the last trailing article. Continued rotation of the drive sprocket further extends the pusher chain and pushes the trailing articles through the workstations of the packaging machine until the trailing articles are packaged. The drive sprocket is then reversed in direction to retract the pusher chain from the infeed lane and coil it in its stowed position on the take-up magazine.

摘要: A carton feeder assembly is disclosed for selecting or picking carton blanks from the end of a stack of blanks in a magazine. The assembly includes a magazine and conveyor for moving stacks of carton blanks toward a carton feeder assembly. A support shaft assembly is disposed at the downstream end of the magazine and includes a support shaft against which the forwardmost carton blank in the stack leans and rests to support the stack of carton blanks. The support shaft is eccentrically rotatably mounted and driven by a motor so that the support shaft oscillates rapidly as it is rotated. This motion of the support shaft keeps the forwardmost blank of the stack spaced slightly from and out of contact with the support shaft for a significant majority of the time, thus reducing substantially the average friction between the forwardmost blank and the support shaft. Thus, the forwardmost blank can gripped with suction cups of the feeder assembly, which can then be moved to slide the forwardmost blank from beneath the support shaft and off of the stack of blanks with very little frictional resistance. The suction cups thus stay attached to the blank and do not tend to slide off due to shear forces developed in overcoming frictional resistance.
摘要翻译: 公开了一种用于从盒中的一堆坯料的端部选择或拾取纸板坯料的纸箱供料器组件。 该组件包括用于将纸板坯料的堆叠移向纸盒供给器组件的料盒和输送机。 支撑轴组件设置在料仓的下游端,并且包括支撑轴,堆叠中的最前面的纸箱坯料通过该支撑轴倾斜并靠在支撑轴上,以支撑堆叠的纸箱坯料。 支撑轴由电动机偏心旋转地安装和驱动,使得支撑轴在其旋转时快速振荡。 支撑轴的这种运动保持堆叠的最前面的坯料与支撑轴稍微偏离和远离与支撑轴的接触大部分时间,从而大大减少最前面的坯料与支撑轴之间的平均摩擦。 因此,最前面的坯料可以用进料器组件的吸盘夹持,然后可以将其移动以从支撑轴下方滑出最前面的坯料,并且以非常小的摩擦阻力从坯料堆放下。 因此,吸盘保持连接到坯件上,并且由于克服摩擦阻力而产生的剪切力而不倾向于滑动。

摘要: A new type of secondary locking system for article carriers consisting of at least one secondary male lock with two shoulders that is attached by a neck to the edge of a outer flap on the carrier for use with a primary locking system. An inner flap has a secondary female opening for each secondary male lock. The secondary female opening is formed by a secondary cut line and fold line with the center of the fold line projecting towards the edge of the flap while of the center of the secondary cut line projects away from the edge of the flap to guide the secondary male lock into a flat position against the inside of the inner flap. The shoulders on the secondary male lock are engaged against locking ledges along the extensions of the secondary cut line. A pair of slits may be formed at the end of the fold lines that project inwardly to allow the secondary male lock to slide into a flat position. This locking system is especially useful in wrapping containers that have a flat bottom that would interfere with conventional locking systems.

摘要: A carton with locking sections comprises a male panel section and a female panel section. The male panel section has an edge with protruding wings, and edge tabs are formed along the edge portion inboard of the wings. The female section has a pair of females configured to receive and interlock with the males. For locking the sections together, the edge tabs are hooked beneath the edge of the female section and the males extend over the top of the female section and are pressed and locked into the females. With this arrangement, the two sections are securely locked together with the edge tabs preventing the sections from moving toward one another and the males and females preventing them moving away from each other. The sections thus do not tend to disengage during transport or as containers of product within the carton are sequentially removed.
