is that the collar to be formed is the desired cylindrical Takes shape.

üün further carriage or slide 72 is mounted in such a way that that he can move over the length of the track 60 with his wheels 74, which run on the rails 76. To the drive system of the carriage or carriage 72 includes a reversible motor or a reversing motor 78, which is on one with the Underside of the Behn 60 connected plate 80 is mounted. A reduction gear 82 is driven by the motor 78, the pinion 84 of which engages in a rack 86 which is attached in the middle under the underside of the carriage or carriage 72 is. With this arrangement it can be seen that the carriage or carriage 72 is thereby moved over the track 60 can be moved in both directions that the motor is connected to voltage that it either his pinion 84 can be turned to the right or to the left.

The collar holding device marked with the general reference number 88 is mounted on the carriage or slide 72 so that it is under the drive of a hydraulic Rotationsraotors 91 can rotate about an axis of 90 °. The action of this motor 91 causes the fret holding device to move between an upright and a vertical one Bundaufnahraeposition and a tilt position to rotate; the aforementioned positions are in Fig. 1, respectively marked with full or dashed lines.

The collar holder 88 consists essentially of a somewhat semicircular wall 92, which at its lowermost end is provided with a base plate 94. For reasons which will be mentioned later, the one is from the base plate 94 and the axis of the wall section 92 is preferably somewhat smaller than 90 °. Fig. 2 best shows that the basic

plate 94- is provided in the middle with a slot 96, which then in fact represents a continuation of the slot 54 belonging to the chamber bottom 18 when the collar holding device 88 is in the manner described in Hg. 1 and Flg. 2 reproduced Bundaufhahmeposition is located. Along the side edges of the wall part 92, the collar holding device is provided with a vertically arranged set of collar holding fingers, which are identified by the general reference numbers 98a and 98b. Each set of these pingers is pivotally connected to a shaft 100. The holding fingers are pressed individually by the spiral springs 102 into the closed positions 98a ¹ and 98b 'identified by the reference numbers. These fingers, in turn, are pivoted by a cylinder or cylinders 104 to the open position indicated by 98a and 98b. DLe the aforementioned cylinders are connected to the vertical elements 106, which in turn, as shown at Io8, are connected with their upper ends and lower ends to the shafts 100.

. The operation or functioning of the apparatus illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 will now be discussed by reference can be described on the schematic drawings in FIGS. 3 to 6.

According to FIGS. 1 and 2, the device is in the collar receiving position. At this stage, carriage 72 is in the proximity of the coil forming device or the coil forming station IC, The collar holder 88 is aligned almost vertically, in such a way that its base 94 is slightly inclined Continuation of the fret table 18 at the bottom of the fret molding forms. The lifting mechanism 64 is operated in this way

that the tiltable or pivotable beam, i.e. the tiltable or pivotable track 60, moves in a substantially horizontal position. Above it is also an empty hook 12 in from the hook conveyor or the chain conveyor the takeover position has been driven. The dome 48 brought into the raised position works with the die Rods l6 forming the collar forming chamber wall in such a way that that the spirally falling wire rings or wire loops 20 to an upright and substantially cylindrical collar C. After completion of the covenant, another drop of wire rings or wire loops into the covenant forrakamraer will occur suitable device prevents, for example duroh a (not shown here) horizontally movable slide plate finished collar from the collar forming device or the collar fora » Station 10 out to the hook 12 of the hook conveyor or the chain conveyor to pass and transport.

To achieve this, two gates 110 are, as can be seen from this Fig. 3 and Fig.%, Opened by the actuating cylinders 112 of. During the opening process and the sole casting process, these gates 110 are held by the roller units 114 which run on the surface of the collar forming table 18. After the gates 110 have been opened, the cylinder 56 begins to work and moves the carriage or carriage 28 on the rails 32 up to the position shown in FIG. 3. If the carriage 28 is now moved in this way , the dome 48 remains raised in a finer position and "I through the collar" is in the correct position. But then the covenant is also shifted sideways with am 8s "d £ or * ttieh, and" was

onto the base plate 94 belonging to the collar holder 88.

Because of the slight inclination of this base plate 94 is causes the collar C to lean against the semi-cylinder wall 92 of the collar holder 88, which in turn prevents the collar from possibly tilting to the other side after the wall 48 has been removed. At this point, this can be Figure 3A are removed, the collar holding fingers 98a and 98b are brought into the closed position. The collar is held in place on the side and prevents it from accidentally slipping off secured to the collar holder. However, it can also be seen that the fingers arranged above the covenant in the above of the federal C positions are pivoted inward and continue there with the base plate 94 of the carriage work together by keeping the collar in an axial direction hold tight.

Now that the collar is securely attached to the collar holder, the mandrel is withdrawn, the mandrel 48, up to a position slightly below the collar forming table 18 lies. But then, and this can be seen from Fig. 4, the collar holder 88 is pivoted about an axis 90 so that the collar C assumes an essentially horizontal position and in the axial direction on the horizontal collar holding part 12a of the transport hook 12 is aligned.

Flg. 5 now shows that in the course of the next work step a the carriage or carriage 72 on the track 60 up to one Position is driven, which is located below the hook 12. As mentioned earlier, this movement is or this process is carried out by a simple reversing motor 78, which is connected to voltage in a corresponding width.

The carriage or carriage 72 now moves very much the web 60, that while the federal government C gradually over the to Hook 12 belonging and horizontally aligned collar holding section 12a is guided, wherein the carriage 72 is continued until that the center of gravity of the federal government C on the center of the federal holding committee belonging to hook 12 12a is aligned. Once this has taken place, the carriage 72 is stopped, the collar being pushed onto the hook in the axial direction in such a way that its inner radius at 73 to the horizontally aligned collar portion 12a of the hook is arranged at a certain radial distance.

As the carriage or sled 72 moves to the hook 12, is moved to the hook 12, the carriage or carriage 28 is moved back to a position which is located under the bundle forming table 18. At the same time, the gates 110 closed «when the next covenant is produced, the next covenant forming process is initiated.

From the position of the collar shown in FIG. 5 it can be seen that the horizontally aligned collar holding section 12a of the hook 12 is guided through the slot 96 made in the base plate 9k. At this point in time the fingers 96 * and 98b are brought into the open position by a pivoting movement in order to facilitate the relative movement between the collar bracket 88 and the collar C, whereas the lifting mechanism 6k moves in such a way that it pivots the path 60 into the ndt Fig. 6 shown position is lowered, whereby deer collar C then koont on the hook 12 to rest. While this last step is still being performed, the mandrel kQ will return to its elevated position

booted up, and with the making of the next covenant can be started in the coil forming device or the coil forming station 10.

After hanging the collar C in the hook 12, the carriage or carriage 72 is in its initial position near the The collar forming device or the collar forming station 10 moved back. From the hook conveyor or the chain conveyor, the Bundle C is then transported to another location for further processing. The other components of the device are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 Bundle pick-up position deferred in order for the next bundle to be picked up within the bundle forming station 10 is still in production to be prepared.

This invention offers numerous advantages. For example, it should be pointed out that the collar forming station 10 transports the collar 10 to the hook 12 with a minimum of sliding contact between the collar surface and the transfer device. Some sliding may occur when the collar is transferred in a lateral direction from the collar forming table 18 to the inclined base plate 9k of the collar holder 88. However, both of these surfaces are smooth and relatively wide so that the possibility of scratching or other damage to the bundled product at the bottom of the bundle is reduced. If desired, the collar forming table 18 and the base plate 9k can be formed from rollers arranged close to one another in order to reduce the sliding contact. Once the collar is on the collar holder 88, it is slid onto the hook and lowered onto the hook without further sliding, thereby doing so

the product on its surface along the sides and the interior of the Federal protected and preserved.

Additional importance is attached to the use of the pivotable fingers 9Ba and y8b, which then hold the collar in place and keep it in axial alignment when it is in the collar holder 88.

This invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiment of the subject matter described and reproduced in this patent notification, but rather to include all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the patent claims and do not deviate from the spirit of this invention.
