    Abstract: An applicator (10a) affixes fitments (12) to paperboard cartons (20), each fitment (12) comprising a screw cap on a pour spout. An ultrasonic horn (18) reciprocates between a retracted position for receiving a fitment (12) and an advanced position for depositing the fitment (12) on an outer surface of a carton (20). A duct (26) extends and provides fluid communication between an air handler and a fitment-holding recess (30) formed in the horn (18). The air handler is actuable to evacuate the duct (26) to retain a fitment (12) in the recess (30) by suction while transporting the fitment (12) to be affixed to the container wall. The air handler also supplies pressurized gas to the duct (26) to blow the fitment (12) from the horn (18) before the horn returns to the retracted position. A receiver reciprocates between a pick-up position for receiving a fitment (12) and a delivery position for passing the fitment (12) to the horn (18), the receiver comprising a head (34c) with a suction opening (40a) formed in the end portion thereof for communication with the interior of the fitment.

    Abstract translation: 施加器(10a)将配件(12)固定在纸板纸箱(20)上,每个配件(12)在倒出口上包括螺旋盖。 超声波喇叭(18)在用于接收配件(12)的缩回位置和用于将配件(12)沉积在纸箱(20)的外表面上的前进位置之间往复运动。 管道(26)在空气处理器和形成在喇叭(18)中的配件保持凹部(30)之间延伸并提供流体连通。 空气处理器可致动以排出管道(26),以通过抽吸将配件(12)保持在凹部(30)中,同时运送要附着到容器壁上的配件(12)。 空气处理器还在喇叭返回到缩回位置之前向管道(26)供应加压气体以从喇叭(18)吹出配件(12)。 接收器在用于接收配件(12)的拾取位置和用于将配件(12)传递到喇叭(18)的输送位置之间往复运动,所述接收器包括具有形成的吸入口(40a)的头部(34c) 在其末端部分与配件的内部连通。
