The operation of the arr~gement of the invention is in a cyclic maiuier as described below during which valve 21 remains open.
At the beginning of a half cycle of operation of the arrangement, pinion 121 of the Geneva driver 117 is positioned at the mouth of slot 119a of the Geneva wheel 116 (Fig 13~. During rotation of the Geneva driver in the anticlockwise direction pinion 121 travels away from slot 119a as shown in Figs 14 and 15 ~d no drive is transmitted to the Geneva wheel 116 and the solid cleanser feed conveyor 2, solid cleanser holder forming unit 31 comprising contrarotatable conveyors 32 and 33, film pulling units 104a, 10~b, lOUc and 1004, film scoring unit 84 and waste film carrying conveyor 98 remain stationary. Ports b and d and ports a and a of valve 49 of the solid cleanser sealing unit 41 are connected. Air flows into the piston side and air flows out into the atmosphere from the cylinder side of the cylinder 42 of the solid cleanser sealing unit 41. The piston 45 of cylinder 42 along with the moveblc die plate 5I moves down towards the stationary dig plate 55. Both the die sockets 5? in the movable die plate 51 and stationary die plate 55 are 'being heated by the electric conductors 58 routing around them. The movable die pie 51 closes on the stationary die plate 55 sad holds the solid cleanser holder positioned therebetween within. the die sockets 5? and heat seals together the bottom and top films around the solid cleanser at the peripheries of the die sockets. Ports b and d and ports a and a of valve G7 of solid cleanser holder cutting unit are connected, Air flows into the piston side and au flows out into the atmosphere from the cylinder side of cylinder G0 of the solid cleanser holder cuttsng unit. The piston 63 of cylinder b0 along with the punch plate b9 moves down towards the stationary die plate 80. The punch plate 69 closes on the die plate 80 and holds the solid cle~mser holder positioned therebetween within the die cavities end cuts the solid cleanser holder et the peripheries of the die cavities. Url being cut and sepat~ed from the bottom and top films, the solid cleanser holder 1 b4 falls down through the open bottom of the die cavity 82 in the die plate 80 and corresponding opening 83 in the base 81 of the supporting structure 62.
~I~e the punch plate 69 closes on the die plate 80 and cuts and separates the solid cleansex holder from the films, the retainer flange 78 presses against the is films under spring tension and holds the films in position to facilitate cutting of khe solid cleanser holders. The retainer flantge slides in and out on the punch plate due to its being tensioned by springs 79 and fixed to the screw members 75 which are movably disposed in the holes 73. The outward movement of the screw members in holes 73 and hence that of the retainer flange is restricted by shoulders 77 as the heads of the screw members abuts the shoulders at the extreme outward position of the screw members. The size of the edges or frills of the solid cleanser holder from the sealing point thereof depends on the larger peripheries of the die cavities as compared to the die sockets. At the end of the half cycle of operation of the arrangement, the position of the pinion I2I of the Geneva driver I17 is as shown in Fig i~. The pinion 121 is about to enter slot 119f of the Geneva wheel I16.
During further rotakion of the Geneva driver in the anticlockwise direction the pinion 121 travels into the slot 119f of the Geneva wheel {Fig 16) and travels back from the slot I 19f of the Geneva wheel and positions itself at the mouth of slot 1 i9f of the t~eeneva wheel as shown iii Fig 17. During this half cycle drive is transmitted to the Geneva wheel and it rotates in the clockwise m ' direction. Consequently drive is transmitted to the solid cleanser feed conveyor 2, solid cleanser holder forming unit 31 comprising contrarotatable conveyors 32 and 33, film pulling units 100a, 100b, I00c and I00d and film scoring unit 84 and waste film carrying unit 98. Solid cleansers 1S8 being fed from the feed end of the conveyor 2 in the pockets formed by pairs of spaced upright meanbers 4, are moved forward by the feed conveyor. Due to momentum of movement of the feed conveyor, the solid cleanser at the discharge end of the infecd conveyor is pushed by the advancing upright member 4 at the rear side of the solid cleanser 158 into the bottom film 156 at the feed end 37a between the cont3rarotatable conveyors 32 and 33 over the flat protrusion 40. The contrarotatjng rollers of the film pulling units 100a anal 100b pull the bottom and top films and keep them taut, In the solid cleanser holder forming unit 31, the bottom film 156 carrying the solid cleansers and the top film 156 overlying the solid cleansers form holders for the solid clew and are moved forward by and between the contrerotabng conveyors 32 and 33. The bottom and top films having the solid cleansers interpose therebetween enter the solid cleanser holder sealing unit 41. The ~a contrstotating rollers of the film pulling unit 1t70c pull the bottom and top films with the sealed solid cleansers holders emerging from the solid cleanser holder seating unit and feed them to the solid cleanser coifing unit S9 one at a time. The contrarotating rollers of the film pulling unit 144d pull the bottom and top fi3ms from the solid cleanser cutiixig unit 59 through the film scoring unit 84 in which the rotary disc cutter 91 cuts or scores the waste Elms info two len,,8lthwise, which remain as webs between adjacent cutouts of solid cleanser holders atler they are cut and separated. The waste films emerging from the pulling unit 1~4d are carried onto the waste film carrying conveyor 98. The waste films are cut and xemoved from the waste film carrying conveyor as end when required. Simultaneously ports b and c and ports a and d of valve 49 are connected. Air flows into the cylinder side and sir flows out into the atmosphere from the piston side of cylinder 42 of the solid cleanser holder s~~g unit 41. The piston 45 of cylinder 42 moves up to its original position. Poets b and c end ports a and d of value 67 are connected.
Air flows into the cylinder side and air flows out into the atmosphere from the piston ssde of cylinder 60 of the solid cleanser holder cutting unit 59.
The piston b3 of the cylinder 60 moves up to its original position. The arrangement is now ready for the next cycle of operation.
Due to the intermittent drive and feeding of solid cleansers into the solid cleaner holder forming unit in a cycle of operation of the arrangement a gap is maintained between two solid cleansers in the solid cleanser holder foaming unit. The temperature controllers sense the tempe~raotures of movable die plate and corresponding stationary die plate through the tharnostats and cut of the power supply when the temperatures exceed the s~ limits. The film tensioning rollers keep the films under tension. The bushes are to minimise friction between the guide plates and respective guide rods and render the up and down movement of the guide plates smooth.
The solid cleanser holder forming unit, solid cleanser holder swung unit, solid cleanser holder cuttaxtg unit, film paving units, film scoring ' unit and solid clem~ser pockets may be of different constructions. There may be more then four film pulling units. In.~tead of pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic cylinders may be used. The waste fin carrying conveyor and film scoring unit are optional. Instead of waste film carrying conveyor some other arrangement may be used to carry the used f.lms. The sizes and profiles of the die sockets and die cavities will change depending upon the sizes and profiles of the solid cleansers and solid cleanser holders. The s~rrmigement may include a solid cleanser feeding unit. Instead of film unwind rolls, the film feeding arrangement may be different. Such variations of the invention are to be construed and understood to be within the scope of the invention
