Definitions

  • My invention has special application for usewith the paperboard cartons which have closure and locking means or the type disclosed in patent of Arthur J. Weiss, Number 2,990,997, granted July 4,1961.
  • my invention can make use of a form of closing and locking means similar tothat of the machine disclosed in my Patent Number 2,986,857, granted June 6, 1961.
  • a further advantage of producing a tight package is that it prevents relative motion between the articles which can mar their surfaces and labels or otherwise injure the articles.
  • a conveyer for moving the containers to be packaged through the machine.
  • the carton blanks which are to be applied to groups of the containers include a top panel, side panels, and bottom closure panels.
  • One of the bottom closure panels is provided with a latching flap having catches disposed along the fold lines from which the flap extends. Opposite to the catches the latching flap is provided with tab members.
  • the other bottom. closure panel is provided with a plurality of latch openings each being adapted to receive and engage the catches and upon completion of the closure to receive and engage the tab portions.
  • the carton blanks are applied to the groups of containers being conveyed through the machine. Subsequently the side panels of the blank are folded downwardly along the outer sides of the containers. As the travel of the carton and the group of containers continues, the carton blank is folded about the containers to form the package. As the carton blank is being folded about the containers, tightening forces are applied tothe side panels of the carton blank in a lateral direction in order to tighten the blank about the containers prior to the final closing operation.
  • a folding bar swings the bottom closure panel having the latch openings in an upward direction beneath the containers. At the same time an additional folding bar initiates the upward swinging of the other bottom closure panel and the directing of the catches in the direction of the latch openings.
  • the application of force by the reciprocating members at these locations draws the wraparound blank tightly about the containers and positions the bottom closure panels so that the path of travel of the latching flap will carry the catches into engagement with the latch openings.
  • the reciprocating motion enables the tightening members to slowly and progressively advance into contact with the side panels and then to steadily apply the tightening forces to the carton blank.
  • a plurality of tightener members can be employed which are spaced apart at distances from one another corresponding to the interval between the containers.
  • the reciprocating tightening members then are moved along with the containers and carton blank as the closure of the blank is completed. By moving the tightening members at the same speed as the containers and carton blank, the tightening forces are maintained during the entire closing operation. After closure of the canton blank has been completed, the tightening members are reciprocated away from contact with the side panels so that the package is free to be advanced through the exit pontion of the machine.
  • the reciprocating tighteners are operated by cam means.
  • the cam operating means enables the approach of the tighteners toward the carton blank to have a controlled motion so that force may be appliedin a predetermined manner.
  • the cam operating means for the tightening members has the additional advantage in that it provides an integrated and compact tightening means which can be readily adjusted to tighten carton blanks about containers of varying dimensions.
  • FiG. l is a plan view of the machine showing the tightening members and their cam operating means.
  • FIG. 2. is a sectional view showing the chain drive for moving the tightening members.
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of one of the tightening members.
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional View taken along the line 44 in FIG. 1, showing the initial upward folding of the bottom closure panel.
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken along the lines 55 in MG. 1, showing the tightening of the carbon blank about the containers.
  • FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken along the lines 66 in FIG. 1, further showing the application of the tightening forces to the container.
  • FIG. 7 is an enlarged fragmentary plan view of the tightening members engaged with the slide panels of the carton blanks.
  • FIG. 8 is an enlarged perspective view of the group of containers packaged in the wrap-around carton blank.
  • Bottles 1t? which are to be packaged are delivered into the machine along support plates '12. (FIG. 1).
  • the bottles are delivered into and conveyed through the machine by means of pushers 13 which are pivotally attached to drive chains 14.
  • pushers 13 which are pivotally attached to drive chains 14.
  • carton blanks 11 are placed upon the incoming bottles with top panel 15 of the blank positioned above the bottles.
  • carton blank 11 has openings 16 adapted to receive necks 17 of bottles 10 (FIG. 8).
  • carton blank 11 has side panels 18 and 19 and bottom closure panels 20 and 21.
  • Side panels 18 and 19 may beprovided with cuts 22 and 23 as well as fold lines 24 so that the side panels can fit tightly about the lower portions of the bottles adjacent to their bottoms.
  • the closure arrangement of carton blank 11 may be similar to that described in the patent of Arthur J. Weiss, Number 2,990,997, granted July 4, 1961.
  • the closure includes latching flap 25 extending from bottom closure panel 21 (FIGS. 4, and 6).
  • Bottom closure panel 20 is provided with latch openings 26 which are adapted to receive catches 27 extending from latching flap 25 adjacent to bottom closure panel 21.
  • catches 27 Upon engaging catches 27 within latch openings 26 (FIGS. 5 and 6), the closure is completed by swinging the latching flap upwardly and passing tabs 28 through latch openings 26 until the latching flap is against bottom closure panel 28.
  • catches 27 remain engaged with the portion of latch openings 26 adjacent to bottom closure panel 21 so that the two bottom closure panels remain in contact with one another.
  • folding bar 32 (FIGS. 1 and 4) initiates the upward folding of panel 20.
  • the leading edge of bottom closure panel 21 contacts folding bar 33 and in turn is folded upwardly (FIGS. 1 and 4).
  • the bottom closure panels continue to be folded upwardly the bottles and carton blanks are advanced along tapered portion 34 of support plate 12.
  • the carton blank is approaching the point at which catch 27 must be directed through latch openings 26 in order to initiate the closing operation of carton blank 12. Consequently at this location it is necessary that side panels 18 and 19 be pressed tightly about the bottles and that the bottles be positioned against the bottles in the adjacent row so that alignment of the catches and latch openings may be insured.
  • Each of the tighteners 35 are provided with head members 38 which have both sloping surfaces 39 and 40 adapted to maintain clearance with the bottles and end surface 41 adapted to be substantially parallel to the side panels of the carton blank.
  • Tighteners 35 include rod 42 to one end of which is attached head 38 and to the opposite end of which is attached roller follower 43.
  • the tighteners perform their tightening function, it is necessary that they be made to bear upon the carton blank and exert inwardly directed forces against the carton blank and bottles. It is also necessary that the tighteners be free of the carton blank prior to the point at which the tightening pressure is to be applied.
  • cam means are provided to reciprocate the tighteners with respect to the carton blank.
  • the cam means includes cam members 44 having ramp portions 45 and 46 at their opposite ends. Roller followers 43 are biased against earns 44 by means of springs 47 attached to pins 48 extending from rods 42 and pins 49 extending from supports 36. Whenever a roller follower passes beyond ramp portion 46, spring 47 retracts rod 42 until pin 48 bears upon support 36, thereby preventing further outward movement of the rod. The rod remains in this position until the roller follower again enters upon ramp portion 45.
  • bottom closure panel 20 travels along the straight portion 50 of folding bar 32 (FIG. 1).
  • bottom closure panel 21 is folded beneath straight portion 51 extending from support plate 12 by the action of folding bar 33.
  • the leading tightener of a pair is advanced about sprocket 38 and onto the upper reaches of chains 37.
  • roller follower 43 contacts ramp portion 45 with the result that tightener 35 is moved with respect to support 36 toward the carton blank.
  • the leading tighteners are advanced between the forward and center bottles of a group until head members 38 contact the side panels of the carton blank and initiate the tightening operation.
  • the trailing tighteners are reciprocated inwardly by ramps 45 until they also come into contact with the side panels of the carton.
  • the sequential operation of the tightener provides a gradual tightening of the carton blank.
  • the profile of ramp portions 45 may be varied to control the rate of movement of the tighteners and therefore the rate of application of the tightening forces.
  • cam 44 is providedwith ramp portion 46 which enables the tighteners to disengage from contact with the side panels of the carton.
  • Springs 47 urge the roller followers 43 to remain in contact with cam portions 46 to complete the disengagement of the tighteners.
  • the retraction of the tighteners is sufiiciently rapid to permit a free exit of the carton blank and bottle assembly from the machine along support plates 57 and 58.
  • the means of tightening the carton blank and bottles include tighteners 35 which are mounted for reciprocation by supports 36 attached to chains 37. Chains 37 operate over sprockets 38 and 39 in substantially vertical planes. Tighteners 35 include head members 38 attached to rod members 42 and adapted to intersect a portion of the side panels of the carton between the end and center bottles of the group to be packaged. The drive to chain 37 and chains 13 are synchronized so that tighteners 35 can be actuated as they travel along with the group of bottles and cartons and apply lateral pressure thereto as the closure of the carton is being completed.
  • roller followers 43 of the leading tighteners of a pair contact ramp portions 45 of cam members 44 as they travel upwardly and about sprockets 38.
  • the tighteners are sufficiently advanced that head members 38 contact the portions of the side panel of the carton disposed between the leading and middle bottles of the group adjacent to the junction between the side panels and bottom closure panels.
  • the succeeding tighteners of the pair are similarly advanced by the action of ramp portions 45 so that their head members contact the side panels of carton blank between the middle and the trailing bottles of the group.
  • the tighteners maintain pressure substantially adjacent to the plane of the bottom closure panels so that the carton blank is drawn tightly about the bottles and the bottom outside portions of the bottles project into the region of the carton blank including cuts 23 and 22 as well as fold lines 24.
  • a machine for applying a wrap-around carton blank to containers and the like arranged in rows said carton blank having a top panehside panels, and interlocking bottom closure panel's
  • means for conveying the containers through the machine means for wrapping the carton blank about the containers, including means for folding the side panels downwardly along the outer sides of the containers and means for folding first one bottom closure panel and then the other bottom closure panel upwardly for tight interlocking engagement under the bottoms of the containers, and means for tightening the carton blank against the containers,
  • said tightening means including a plurality of pairs of tightening members and means for moving first the members of one pair and then the members of another pair successively against portions of the side panels, and
