Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process and apparatus for filling band or sheet materials, cables, silver combings and other continuous groups of threads or loose textile materials of any kind into containers such as cartons, boxes, or the like.
  • An object of the present invention is to avoid the prior art disadvantages in filling containers with continuous strands of materials.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved process and apparatus for filling band or sheet materials or loose materials of any kind into cartons or other containers in such a manner that the mate- "ice rials will be tightly and uniformly packed or compressed in each container during the filling operations without requiring any interruption in the filling process.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an improved process and apparatus for filling containers with continuous strands of materials, for example textile materials, wherein said threads are prevented from becoming tangled when being packed and delivered into said containers.
  • the present invention now discloses for the first time a means for placing textile strands or groups of threads into a container in an orderly manner While the material thus being deposited is simultaneously and automatically concentrated by the utilization of lifting and lowering movements during the filling operation.
  • the lifting and lowering movements applied to the container during the filling operation according to the present invention render it possible to accommodate, without the danger of the strands becoming twisted, approximately double the amount of material in the containers when compared to prior art methods and devices.
  • the most uniform and effective compression may be obtained by slowly lifting the container while it is being filled, then. lowering it rapidly, and suddenly interrupting this rapid downward motion.
  • a very effective rate of compresson may also be attained by exerting 'an impact upon the container bottom at the beginning of the lifting movement as well as at the end of the lowering movement.
  • the apparatus comprises a support upon which the open container is placed and a suitable means for repeatedly lifting and lowering the support with the container thereon in a particular manner.
  • the lifting and lowering process consists of first lifting the support preferably at a low speed, then lowering it rapidly and suddenly stopping this movement so that the container on the support will be given a strong jolt and the loosely packed material will thereby be uniformly compressed in the container.
  • the apparatus comprises a conveying element, for example a train of rollers on which the containers are moved to the filling position directly underneath the filling apparatus.
  • a conveying element for example a train of rollers on which the containers are moved to the filling position directly underneath the filling apparatus.
  • several of its rollers are separated from each by tappets or the like which may be slowly and rapidly lowered by a suitable mechanism which is located underneath the rollers of the roller train.
  • the apparatus according to the present invention may also be designed so that the roller train itself or at least those rollers on which the container rests in the filling position can be slowly lifted, rapidly lowered and suddenly stopped at the end of the lowering movement and before the next lifting movement so that at each stop an impact is exerted upon the material which has already filled into the container. The material is thus uniformly compressed.
  • the material to be packed into the container consists of a flexible sheet material which is to be deposited therein in a zig-zag formation of successive layers
  • the material may then be fed in a straight direction into the container and does not require a special folding device since the successive layers or folds are formed by the swinging movements of the container.
  • a good rate of compression of the material may then be obtained while it is being filled into the containers by slowly lifting and rapidly lowering the suspension means to which the container is connected or on which it is disposed.
  • these lifting and lowering movements must be carried out in a properly timed relation to the swinging movements of the container which produce the successive folds of the material.
  • FIGURE 1 illustrates the container filling apparatus of the present invention together with a conveying means using a pneumatic or hydraulic lifting device
  • FIGURE 2 shows a lifting device wherein. the up and down movement is produced by an eccentric
  • FIGURE 3 shows the eccentric used in lifting and lowering the container or conveying means as viewed along line AA in FIGURE 2.
  • the apparatus of the present invention comprises a frame 1 which is mounted on the floor 2 and supports a train of rollers 3 along which a container 4, which is to be filled is conveyed.
  • An endless group of threads or sheet material 5 is supplied through feed rollers 6 and a pivotably suspended funnel 7. Underneath these feed rollers 6 the flexible material 5 is moved back and forth in the direction of the double arrow 8 by a lever which is pivotable in the direction of the arrow 9, so that the material is deposited in a zig-zag manner in the container 4.
  • the central rollers of the roller train 3 are separated by triangular bearing blocks 10 which are connected to tappets 11 and a lifting and lowering mechanism 12 which may, for example, be operated pneumatically for lifting and lowering the container 4 while being filled with the band or sheet material 5. However, this movement may also be produced hydraulically, or by a cam or eccentric, or by a reciprocating rod or the like.
  • This mechanism 12 is preferably designed so that the tappets 11 and bearing blocks 10 are lifted slowly and lowered very rapidly.
  • the deposited material 5 is thereby uniformly compressed within the container 4.
  • the eccentric-driven mechanism has the advantage that the material which is deposited in a container will be punched and thus compressed twice during each cycle of movements, that is, once at the beginning of the lifting movement of the container when it is lifted off the rollers 3 and once when it is set down with a jolt upon the rollers at the end of the lowering movement of the container.
  • FIGURE 2 shows the apparatus of the present invention using an eccentric driven mechanism referred to above.
  • the eccentric 13 is driven by a motor 14 either directly or by way a of a gear 15.
  • the eccentric due to its sliding cam shape, effects, when rotating in the direction indicated by the arrow, a slow lifting of the container up to the point of greatest curvature of the eccentric (cam).
  • the pin 16 Upon further rotation of the eccentric, the pin 16 again falls to the starting point.
  • the action of the eccentric achieves a slow lifting motion and a rapid lowering motion of the container, thereby compacting the contents.
  • substantially no compaction of the material in the container is achieved.
  • the box as well as its contents are subjected to the normal acceleration due to gravity.
  • rollers are then preferably lifted slowly and lowered rapidly, and the downward movement is terminated abruptly with a jolt so that an impact is exerted upon the container and the material which is folded or loosely deposited therein, thereby uniformly compressing said material.
  • FIGURE 2 the triangular bearing blocks 10 are securely attached to a table 17 which is supported by tappets 11. If it is desired to lift and lower the roller train as discussed above, the bearing blocks 10 can be removed and the table 17 can be used to support the roller train.
  • the apparatus according to the present invention may be employed not only for tamping-down and compressing band or sheet materials, but also any other loose materials which are being filled into a container.
  • An apparatus for filling and packing material such as cables, sliver combings and other continuous groups of threads into a container which comprises a container means, means for introducing said materials into the container means in a zig-zag manner, said container means being disposed on a conveying means, lifting and lowering means disposed below the conveyor means and a plurality of tappet means freely interposed between said conveying means and connected to said lifting and lowering means, said tappet means directly and simultaneously communicating with the bottom of the container means during the filling operation, thus providing lifting and lowering movements for the container means during the filling operation.
  • funnel means are disposed between the feed rollers and the container means for further facilitating introduction of the material to said container means.
  • lever means are connected at one end to said funnel means and pivotably connected at its other end to deposit the material into the container means in a zig-zag manner.
  • An apparatus for filling and packing material such as cables, sliver combings and other continuous groups of threads into a container which comprises a container means, means for introducing said materials into the container means in a zig-zag manner, said container means being disposed on a conveying means lifting and lowering means disposed below the conveying means and table means supported by a plurality of tappet means and disposed below a portion of the conveying means, said tappet means communicating with said lifting and lowering means and said table means directly communicating with the conveying means during the filling operation, thus providing a means for lifting and lowering the conveying means and the container means disposed thereon.
