Definitions

  • the machine comprises a frame having a vacuum platen vertically movable thereon, and a plurality of rods and abutments attached thereto and surrounding the vacuum platen.
  • the article to be packaged is placed on the blank which is drawn downwardly by the platen over the rods and abutments to provide an open container formed by the bottom panel, the front and rear panels, and the inner end flaps of the blank.
  • a plunger is mounted on the frame for horizontal movement by a piston, and when the platen reaches its lower position, the container is drawn laterally through the machine by the plunger. Said lateral movement causes the cover panel to be folded over the container by one of the rods, glue to be applied to the inner end flaps by glue guns mounted on the frame, and the outer end flaps to be sealed against the inner end flaps by forcing the container into a carriage.
  • the carriage holds the inner and outer end flaps in contact with each other and is mounted on the frame to be transported horizontally, at right angles to the horizontal movement of the plunger, while glue is applied by another glue gun to the front panel; and, while the sealing flap is folded against the glued front panel to complete the sealed package.
  • This invention relates to a packaging machine for automatically wrapping a blank of corrugated aperboard around a quantity of goods and closing the blank to form a sealed container.
  • Packaging machinery of this type is generally characterized by its bulkiness and by the large area of floor space it requires. In many situations these characteristics are objectionable and therefore it is an object of this invention to provide a packaging machine which is fully automatic and yet very compact.
  • U.S. Pat. 2,270,264 issued to H. A. Carruth on Jan. 20, 1942, is representative of the prior art in this field, in that the packaging machine disclosed therein forms a container by means of a box-forming block which forces a blank into a mold. The goods are then inserted after the container has been formed and the block removed. Insertion of a plurality of small packages into a formed container is somewhat diflicult since the packages must be perfectly aligned if inserted simultaneously. Therefore, it is another object of this invention to provide a packaging machine capable of forming the blanks around the goods, thereby permitting the goods to be misaligned since the sides and ends of the blanks align the goods as the container is formed.
  • I provide an automatic machine for packaging goods with a flat blank of corrugated paperboard.
  • the machine comprises a platen vertically movable within an opening in a frame; a plunger and a carriage, both horizontally movable within the machine; and a plurality of folding members and adhesive 3,531,914 Patented Oct. 6, 1970 ice applicators past which the blank is drawn by the movable elements to completely close and seal the container.
  • the machine comprises an L-shaped frame having a platen mounted thereon for vertical movement from an upper position adjacent the top of the frame to a position therewithin.
  • the platen is provided with vacuum ports on its upper face for engaging a blank when the platen is raised, and for pulling the blank down into the machine as the platen is lowered.
  • a plurality of folding members comprising rods and abutments are arranged to surround the platen and to fold the various panels and flaps of the blank into an open container as the platen descends.
  • a plunger is mounted on the frame for horizontal movement along one leg of the L-shaped frame.
  • the plunger moves the open container horizontally from its position over the lowered platen, past one of said rods which folds the cover panel closed, and past a plurality of glue guns which are mounted on the frame to apply glue to the inner end flaps of the carton.
  • Plows attached to the frame on opposed sides of the plungers horizontal path, fold the outer end flaps against the inner flaps, and the plunger moves the closed container into a carriage where pressure is maintained on the ends of the container.
  • the carriage is horizontally movable along the other leg of the L-shaped frame. Mounted on said other leg is a glue gun for applying glue to the front panel of the box, and a plow for folding the sealing flap against the glued portion of the front panel.
  • the carriage may either eject the box if the glue is dried, or, if glue is still wet, the carriage may deposit the box under a plunger attached to the frame for vertical movement.
  • the plunger pushes the container into an open ended four walled drying chamber.
  • the containers are accumulated in the drying chamber until it is full, whereupon the lowermost container is ejected from the machine to make room in the chamber for the next container which is formed by the machine.
  • a horizontally movable plunger 18 provided at the bottom of the chamber for ejecting the containers.

  • the blank 16 is formed from a rectangular sheet of corrugated paper which is cut and scored to provide a bottom panel 30 and a cover panel 32 interconnected by a rear panel 34.
  • a front panel 36 extends from the opposing edge of the bottom panel, and the junctions between the panels are defined by scored lines 38 disposed transversely on the sheet.
  • a pair of longitudinal score lines 40 lying equidistant from the center of the sheet define inner end flaps 42 extending from the sides of the front and rear panels 36 and 34, and define bottom and top outer end flaps 44 and 46 extending respectively from the bottom and cover panels 30' and 32.
  • the transverse score lines are cut through between the inner and outer end flaps.
  • a sealing flap 48 extends from the cover panel along one of the transverse score lines to complete the blank.

  • the carriage 52 is movable laterally in the frame, perpendicular to the lateral movement of the plunger 50. During such lateral movement of the carriage 52, glue is applied to the front panel 36 of the blank and the sealing fiap 48 is folded against such glued portion to completely seal the container. The carriage 52 deposits the sealed container under a vertically movable second plunger 56.

  • the drying chamber may :be filled with dummy containers, to support the newly sealed containers against immediate ejection.
  • the eject plunger may 4 be deactuated until the chamber has been filled with the newly sealed containers.
  • the vacuum platen 18 includes an E-shaped plate 62 having three extending arms 64 and an interconnecting arm 66.

  • the bushings and plate assembly is moved up and down on the shafts 74 by means of a vertically disposed air cylinder 80 mounted on the frame 13 and having its cooperating piston 82 attached at its upper end to the center of the interconnecting arm 66 by a plurality of bolts 84.
  • Air is supplied to the cylinder 80 from an air compressor (not shown), and electrically operated valves (not shown) control the supply of air to sequentially retract and extend the piston 82.
