Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling system (1) for fluid connection of glue hoses (5, 5′, 15, 15′). The coupling system (1) comprises a housing (40) and at least one coupling piece (6, 6′) that can be fastened to a glue hose (15, 15′) of a gluing device (72), is received by the housing (40), and can be selectively and in each case detachably coupled to mating coupling pieces (8, 8′) of several glue hoses (5, 5′) of different glue application format parts so that a fluid connection is formed between the corresponding glue hose (15, 15′) of the gluing device and the corresponding further glue hose (5, 5′) of the corresponding glue application format part via the coupling piece (6, 6′) and the mating coupling piece (8, 8′) coupled to the coupling piece (6, 6′).

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging apparatus (1) and a method used to produce packaging units (35). The packaging units (35) comprise at least one article (30), in particular at least one beverage can (31), with at least one at least in some areas flatly designed packaging blank (20) arranged on the article (30) or beverage can (31). The packaging blank (20) has at least one passage opening (23) in the flatly designed area for the at least one article (30). The packaging apparatus (1) comprises at least one feeder device (2) for the at least one article (30) or for assemblies (40) of at least two articles (30); a pre-treatment module (9) to prepare the packaging blank (20) for the application to the at least one article (30); and a first packaging module (7) to apply and locate the packaging blank (20) to the at least one article (30). The pre-treatment module (9) comprises at least one device designed to reduce a resistance force in an edge area (24) of the passage openings (23) of the packaging blank (20) during the subsequent application of the packaging blank (20) to the at least one article (30).

Abstract: Disclosed are a method as well as an apparatus used to transfer and place articles (12) into outer packages (16), which are open at the top and which each receive at least one article group (18), which is composed of a plurality of articles (12). In the method, at least one article group (18) is in each instance seized as a group by means of at least one handling device (46) and is placed from above into one of the outer packages (16). An article group (18), which has been seized by the handling device (46), already is compacted or will be compacted during a procedure of being placed into the outer package (16) in terms of the spacings between at least some of the individual articles (12) of the article group (18), and it is subsequently spread out.
