Abstract: A fitment for use as a pour spout for a paper carton or flexible bag for liquids and powders has a flange which may be welded around a hole in the carton or bag. A spout projecting outward from the flange is provided with a removable membrane integral with the interior of the spout. Preferably the membrane is concave. A horizontally disposed pull ring may be attached to the membrane by a connector so that pulling the ring removes the membrane by fracturing the tear line at the juncture of the outer edge of the membrane and the projection. A cap snaps over the spout and may be removed by unscrewing the complementary threads on cap and spout. Optionally, a tamper-evidencing band frangibly connected to the lower edge of the cap skirt engages the exterior of the spout so that the cap cannot be removed without breaking the frangible connection. Various means and methods for detachably securing the fitment to a spud or holder during delivery of the fitment from a chute to the interior of a carton are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of applying pouring elements to flat-gabled packages filled with free-flowing products, where the pouring elements are glued to the individually conveyed and sealed packages, where a fully automatic application operation is possible, where trouble due to improper positioning and incomplete gluing of the pouring elements is reliably prevented. In addition, it is desirable to prevent packages not having the pouring elements attached to them from leaving the gluing station. This is accomplished by the following steps: horizontal conveyance of successively arranged packages standing upright, separation of the packages and introduction of the separated packages into a gluing station depending on the presence of a pouring element, applying adhesive to the pouring element and gluing and pressing the pouring element to a predetermined area of each package.

Abstract: The orienting device of the present invention will properly orient a closure which is transferred from a hopper to be applied to a container in connection with a form, fill and seal packaging machine. The present invention will also maintain the orientation on an anvil as the anvil moves the closure from the orienting device to a container through exertion of a vacuum on the closure. The present invention also discloses a specific closure for use with an overall orienting closure system. The orienting device will have at least two channels which maintain the closure as the closure is oriented into a desired position.

Abstract: The present invention may be utilized as a single station integrated with a standard form, fill and seal machine wherein at least two containers are conveyed along the machine simultaneously. The present invention is able to retrieve fitments from a source, apply the fitments to the containers, and seal the fitments to the container at a single station. The design of the present invention requires only minimal space on a form, fill and seal machine. In practicing the present invention, at least two anvils retrieve fitments from a source and then undergo offset rotation into the interior of two containers. The anvils, with the fitments attached, are then moved translationally to insert the fitments through incisions in the respective containers. Once the fitments are positioned therethrough the incision, sealers permanently attach the fitments to the containers. The anvil then reverses its translational motion with one of the anvils moving a greater distance than the other anvil thereby positioning the anvils for offset rotation out of the interior of the containers. By inserting and sealing fitments to containers at a single station, the present invention is able to substantially diminish any opportunities for the fitments becoming disengaged from the containers prior to sealing of the fitments to the container. Also, the offset rotation allows for a rotating anvils to be used for multiple container processing machines.

Abstract translation: 本发明可以用作与标准形式，填充和密封机器整合的单台，其中至少两个容器同时沿着机器传送。 本发明能够从源头检索配件，将配件应用于容器，并且在单个工位处将配件密封到容器。 本发明的设计只需要在形式上的最小空间，填充和密封机器。 在实施本发明时，至少两个砧座从源头拾取配件，然后经过偏移旋转进入两个容器的内部。 然后将具有附件的砧座平移地移动以通过切口在相应的容器中插入配件。 一旦配件通过切口定位，密封件将配件永久地附接到容器。 砧座然后使其平移运动反转，其中一个砧座移动比另一个砧座更大的距离，从而将砧座定位成偏移旋转出容器的内部。 通过在单个工位上将装置插入和密封容器，本发明能够在将配件密封到容器之前大大减少装置脱离容器的任何机会。 此外，偏移旋转允许将旋转的砧座用于多个容器处理机器。

Abstract: A fitment for use as a pour spout for a paper carton or flexible bag for liquids and powders has a flange which may be welded around a hole in the carton. A spout projecting outward from the flange is provided with a removable membrane integral with an inward projection positioned on the interior of the spout approximately midway of its height. Preferably the membrane is concave. A horizontally disposed pull ring is attached to the membrane by a connector so that pulling the ring removes the membrane by fracturing the tear line at the juncture of the outer edge of the membrane and the projection. A cap snaps over the spout and may be removed by unscrewing the complementary threads on cap and spout. A tamper-evidencing band frangibly connected to the lower edge of the cap skirt engages the exterior of the spout so that the cap cannot be removed without breaking the fragible connection.

Abstract: Dual lanes of fitment-sealing apparatus, for sealing plastic spout fitments to carton blanks, are integrated in line with conventional form/fill/seal production lines. Each apparatus includes a carton blank supply, an indexing conveyor for advancing the blanks in tube form to a sealing station, a gravity-feed track for supplying fitments to the sealing station through an escapement, a pair of fitment retaining clamps for holding the fitment in registration with a spout hole cut in the carton blank, an anvil which is inserted inside the carton blank, a sealing head which is moved to press the fitment in contact with and to seal it to an extrusion layer on the external side of the carton blank, and a timing control for synchronizing the movements of the parts and advancing the carton blanks through the sealing station to an output thereof. The fitment may also be sealed to the extrusion layer with a hot-melt adhesive applied to the fitment just prior to pressing against the carton blank. Heat may be applied to tackify the adhesive by a hot anvil or sealing head equipped with heating elements.

Abstract: A pour spout fitment applicator adaptable to applying a flanged pour spout fitment through an opening in a carton top panel. The applicator includes a rotatable shaft having an anvil secured thereto, a vacuum cup mounted on the distal end of the anvil, and a cam controlled pivotable chute segment for coordinating the supplying of one fitment at a time to the vacuum cup. A linkage and toggle system serves to rotate the anvil and the cam so as to insert the individual fitment directly into the opening. While backed up by the anvil, the flange of the fitment is sealed by an ultrasonic sealer and horn to the inner surface of the top panel around the opening. The applicator operates transversely to the path of movement along a conveyor. As such, two or more applicators may simultaneously apply fitments to closely adjacent cartons.

Abstract: An apparatus which coacts with a fitment application machine to index a die cut fitment web for precise registration and sealing of fitments to carton die cut areas. The apparatus includes an indexing wheel which has a plurality of circumferentially spaced indentations which engage void areas in the web defined by the fitments upon their removal. A gear and rack assembly intermittently rotate the indexing wheel advancing the web through the fitment application machine for sealing operations. Precise adjustment and indexing of the web is effected by a locating pin which engages corresponding bores in the indexing wheel to lock the wheel at defined pre-set circumferential positions.
