Abstract

ABSTRACT The invention relates to an apparatus for and a method of manipulating a plurality of articles. The apparatus preferably is a tertiary packaging apparatus capable of receiving a single-file stream of articles (21), preferably from a secondary packaging apparatus (10). The apparatus comprises a dividing element (33) for splitting a received single-file stream of articles into two or more adjacent streams and an aligning element for collating articles in adjacent streams into an aligned rank of articles.

Claims (28)

1. Apparatus for manipulating a plurality of articles, the apparatus capable of receiving a single-file stream of articles and comprising a dividing element operable to split a received single-file stream of articles into two or more adjacent streams and comprising an aligning element operable to collate articles in adjacent streams into an aligned rank of articles.
2. Apparatus according to claim 2 wherein the apparatus is a tertiary packaging apparatus and wherein the apparatus is structured and arranged such that it is couplable to a secondary packaging machine.
3. Apparatus according=to claim 2 wherein an input of the apparatus is couplable to an output of a secondary packaging machine such that a single-file stream of articles output from the secondary packaging machine, is directly receivable by the tertiary packaging apparatus.
4. Apparatus according to any one of the preceding claims wherein the aligning element comprises a lug for retarding the passage of secondary packages in each of said two or more streams such that adjacent streams of secondary packages are arrangeable and alignable into a continguous batch.
5. Apparatus according to claim 4 comprising two co-linear lugs disposed on separate return conveyors.
6. Apparatus according to any one of claims 4 or 5 wherein the or each lug forms a leading lug of the contiguous batch it forms and is coupled to a lug conveyor mechanism.
7. Apparatus according to claim 6 wherein said leading lug additionally forms a trailing lug for engaging and transferring a preceding contiguous batch of articles.
8. Apparatus according to any of claims 4 to 7 wherein the or each lug is operable at a lower velocity than that rate of output of secondary packages from the secondary packaging machine.
9. Apparatus according to any of claim 8 wherein the or each lug is operable at a fraction of the rate of output of the secondary packing machine inversely proportional to the number of streams formed by the dividing element.
10. Apparatus according to any of claim 10 comprising a tray conveyor for providing for transferring a contiguous batch of secondary packages into a tray.
11. Apparatus according to any of claim 10 comprising a tray conveyor for providing successive trays, each for loading with a contiguous batch of secondary packages, the tray conveyor being structured and arranged to flow in the opposite direction relative to the output flow of the secondary packaging machine.
12. Apparatus according to claim 11 wherein the transfer element and one of said stop bars are carried along the same return path.
13. Apparatus according to any of claims 1 to 12 wherein the dividing element comprises a guide which is moveable alternately into a series of position to divide the output packages into two or more streams of secondary packages.
14. Apparatus according to claim 13 wherein said guid is moveable in a first sequence of positions and successively moveable in a reverse sequence of positions.
15. Apparatus according to claim 13 or 14 wherein said moveable guide is pivotable.
16. A method of manipulating a plurality of articles, the method comprising:
receiving a single-file stream of articles; splitting the received single-file stream of articles into two or more adjacent streams and collating articles in adjacent streams into an aligned rank of articles.
17. A method according to claim 16 wherein the steps of receiving, splitting and aligning are carried out by a tertiary packaging apparatus and wherein the method comprises coupling the apparatus to a secondary packaging machine.
18. A method according to claim 16 wherein the apparatus comprises a lug bar for retarding the passage of secondary packages in each of said two or more streams and the method comprises arranging and aligning secondary packages of adjacent streams into a contiguous batch.
19. A method according to claim 18 comprising transferring a contiguous batch of secondary packages into a tray.
20. A method according to claim 19 comprising providing successive trays, each for loading with a contiguous batch of secondary packages.
21. A method according to any one of claims 16 to 20 wherein the step of splitting said two of more streams of secondary packages comprises moving a guide alternately into a series of positions.
22. A method according to claim 21 wherein moving said guide is conducted in a first sequence of positions and successively conducted in a reverse sequence of positions.
23. A packaging machine comprising a combined secondary packaging line and tertiary packaging line having:
(a) secondary carton packaging section for packaging primary packages in secondary packaging cartons;
(b) an assembly section for receiving the cartons containing primary packages and assembling them into groups of cartons;
(c) a collecting section for receiving the groups of cartons and assembling the groups into spaced columns;
(d) a batch assembly section for receiving a plurality of columns and assembling them into a batch of contiguous cartons;
(e) a tray loading section for assembling each batch of cartons onto a tray;
and (f) an off-loading section for off-loading the trays onto a pallet.
24. A machine according to claim 1 wherein sections (a) to (d) are parts of a continuously moving conveyor system.
25. A method of packaging comprising the steps of: packaging primary packages in secondary packaging cartons;
(m) assembling the cartons containing primary packages into groups of cartons;
(n) collecting the groups of cartons and assembling the groups into spaced columns;
(o) assembling the columns into a batch of contiguous cartons;
(p) loading each batch of cartons onto a tray; and (q) off-loading the trays onto a pallet.
26. A method according to claim 3 wherein the steps (a) to (d) are carried out on a continuously moving conveyor system.
27. A packaging system comprising a secondary packaging machine for packaging multiple primary packages into a secondary package and a tertiary packaging machine according to any one of claims 2 to 15, 23 or 24
28. A tertiary package loaded by the method according to any one of claims 16 to 22, 25 or 26.
