A grouping mechanism (14) for grouping articles (B) in a continuous infeed stream comprises a series of spacer elements (16) adapted to engage successive articles from the infeed stream and locate the articles relative to one another as the articles are conveyed through a working reach (W) of the mechanism. The spacer elements have cam followers 18 for co-operating with a rotatable cylindrical cam which cause one group of articles to be spaced apart in the feed direction from a next succeeding group of articles while the spacer elements move through the working reach. A return transfer belt (40) is provided to return the spacer elements along a return reach (R) such that they are returned upstream of the working reach where they are disposed for engagement with successive articles in the infeed stream.

A carton, blank and method for packaging articles the carton comprising a plurality of main panels (30, 40, 50, 60) for forming a top panel (40), a first side wall (50), second side wall (60) and bottom panel (30) hinged together to form a tubular structure wherein a first panel (60) of said plurality of main panels is hinged to a securing panel (20) and a second panel (30) of said plurality of main panels comprises a hinged panel (10) struck therefrom said hinged panel being foldable out of the plane of the second panel for facilitating alignment of said second panel with respect to the securing panel and for facilitating securing the hinged panel to the securing panel.
摘要:
A packaging carton manufactured from a pre-shaped blank (10), cut from a flexible sheet of foldable material. The carton has a plurality of panels (A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, C1, C2, D1, D2, E) and naps (32, 33, 36, 37) separated by fold lines (16 to 31) that define edges of the panels. Selected pairs of the end flaps (36, 37) of the carton incorporate between them a foldable gusset (39) subtended by two converging fold lines (40,41) that converge on a selected fold lines (16, 19). Further selected flaps (32, 33) of the carton (40) are provided with slots (34) each of which is dimensioned and positioned for receiving one of the gussets (39). The gussets (39) are positioned relative to the slots (34) so that the gussets (39) engage in, and are retained by, the respective slots (34) thereby to hold adjacent panels of the carton together.

A carton for containing a group of bottles is constructed by combining a pair of complementary U-shaped structures (10, 20). One (10) of the U-shaped structures comprises a bottom panel (24) and opposing end walls (16, 18). The other (20) of the U-shaped structures comprises a top panel (22) and opposing side walls (12, 14).
摘要:
An article carrier is formable from a blank having opposing side wall panels interconnected by a set of major end panels. A set of minor end panels of one side wall panel is foldably adjoined to an unjoined end another side wall panel or to the other set of minor end panels. The side wall panels are interconnected by the minor end panels to form a substantially tubular structure. Transverse panels are connected to at least one of the side wall panels in the blank. The transverse panels extend between and interconnect the side wall panels in the erected carrier. The tubular partially-erect carrier is collapsible into a flat-face condition. Connecting structure includes at least one top connecting panel hingedly adjoined to a respective one of the transverse panels. In the erected carrier the connecting structure interconnects the transverse panels.
摘要:
A method for continuous loading and set-up of cartons, each for holding an array of articles such as bottles (B), each carton comprising a top part (40) which includes one or more top panels (42) and one or more side panels (48, 50), and further comprising a carton base (10) which carton base includes a main base panel (12) and one or more wall panels (14, 16). The method comprises the steps of: a. continuous loading of one or more articles onto the carton base (10), b. offering up the top part (40) in alignment with the carton base (10), c. maintaining secure alignment of the top part (40) with the carton base (10), while d. securing together the or each side panel (48, 50) of the top part to the carton base (10) so as to complete the carton base and so that the array of articles is substantially encased in the set-up, loaded carton.
摘要:
A carton blank (10) comprises hingably interconnected main panels (12,30,32,34) and a corner gusset structure (50,51) section hingably connected to two adjacent main panels (12,30). One of the main panels (12) has a fold line (20) which lies substantially parallel to the hinged connection (22) between the adjacent two panels. The fold line defines two panel portions (12,12a) in the main panel (12) which can be displaced from coplanar alignment with one another about the fold line (20) during formation of a carton in order to facilitate formation of the corner gusset structure.
摘要:
A packaging system (4) comprising a plurality of first cartons (1) each forming a first package comprising a group of articles (A) and a second carton (2) for packaging a group of said first packages (1) whereby forming a secondary package. The second carton comprises (2) a plurality of removable portions (132a, 132b, 132c, 132d) each forming a part of a respective one of the first packages (1). Each of the first cartons (1) being disposed around a respective group of articles (A) and secured to a respective one of the removable portions (132a, 132b, 132c, 132d) of the second carton (2) through at least one engaging aperture (146a) defined in the second carton (2) and wherein a respective removable portion of the second carton (2) is coupled to the remainder of the second carton (2) by a frangible connection (170) such that each of the first packages (1) is removable from the secondary package (2) by breaking the frangible connection (170).
摘要:
A method for forming a package (11) from a carton blank (10) comprising; providing a carton blank (10) having series of panels (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) for forming carton walls in flat collapsed form locating a mandrel (60a, 60b, 62) on an inner surface of a first panel (16) of the carton blank, sequentially folding the series of panels (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) of the carton blank about the mandrel (60a, 60b, 62) whereby forming the carton walls; securing the at least two of the series of panels (12, 20) together to maintain the carton in an assembled form.
