Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in the application of holders to containers to form multipackages by the operation of apparatus in combination with the holders on a substrate or in a crate.
  • Such reduced area holders are able to hold the bottles more firmly and so prevent their sharp contact together.
  • the earlier forms of multipackage are loose because they must be made all the same size and must be applied as a tube by machinery which is only able to wrap it around the containers which because they are variable and slightly elliptical and can move within the tube into an even slacker position. Therefore it is possible for a reduced area multipackage to better protect the glass for the benefit of all concerned and for the bottler to multipackage all the year round for a cost similar to his high seasonal promotions currently multipackaged for many companies.
  • apparatus mechanically operated in combination with a retained holder for containers operable with the containers on a substrate and having a neck portion reducing toward a downwardly facing rib
  • the holder comprising a pair of spaced side walls each having upper and lower longitudinally extending edges, an upper wall connecting the upper edges and preventing relative displacement of the upper edges away from each other, a lower wall connecting the lower edges and preventing the relative disp - lacement of the lower edges away from each other, said upper and lower walls having aligned openings therein, the openings in the lower wall being dimensioned to pass freely over the rib portion and engage a wider part of the container and the openings in the upper wall arranged with tabs able to pass over a rib of the container neck or its closure and engage below it, both side walls able to engage below rib parts of the container and a longitudinally extending fold line in at least one of the side walls adapted for engagement with the containers when the containers are disposed between the
  • the said retained holder is retained below the second member by member means projecting through the second member for engagement of the holder, for instance means larger than the said openings in the upper wall arranged with tabs and able to pass through their resistance for retention on the larger portion of the means until removed by the second member.
  • the spring hinge is formed of elastomeric material fixed to a component member and a support member.
  • the erected holder on containers is disengaged from the apparatus by the inner surface of the closed members formed to allow the apparatus to initially retract before the spring hinge must move to allow further retraction of the apparatus.
  • the invention provides that, wherein the bottles are similar in type but having height irregularity, means comprising in an individual support below each bottle, the suppo- orts each of similar height and retained vertically by compressable material which compressability may be adjustable, such that when the bottle upper parts are pressed downward for application during the application of holders according to the invention the said pressure applied to cause the bottle upper parts to be level by any irregularity of the bottle height being accommodated by the compressable material below the application of pressure by parts of the apparatus which are level.
  • Figures 1, 2 and 3 show an embodiment of the invention in its relaxed condition prior to operation.
  • 3 is a support member actuated by other unspecified means and positioned with the centre of the openings 4 each directly above the centre of a bottle to be held and with the skirt parts 11 open to receive the upper wall 21 of an erected holder between them and guide the side walls 18c and 20b between the crests 10 when the support member 3 is moved in the direction of arrow 13 of Fig 4.
  • Figure 4 shows the free ends of the Second Members 2 performing as levers and being deflected by their contact with the upper wall 21 supported by the bottles 32 resulting in the inward movement of the First Members 1 and made practical by the spring hinge of which 5 shows a prefered embodiment seen clamped to the support member 3 and to the First and Second Members 1 and 2.
  • the spring hinge is made of strips of sheet elastomeric material, for example Polychloroprene.
  • the elastomeric spring hinge has several advantages over a mechanical hinge, firstly it has an effective pivot point which moves with the cleft 6 formed between the First and Second Members 1 and 2 and which retains the upper edge of the side wall 7a and 7b-in the correct position while being tollerant of related dimensions, whereas a mechanical hinge with a fixed central pivot would cause clefts 6 to move in an arc and if the cleft position is correct with the pivot in one position it will be wrong when the angle of the First and Second Mebers is changed since the pivot point cannot conveniently be identical with cleft point 6.
  • a second advantage of the elastomeric hinge is that it will spring return to the position shown by Fig 1 without substantially changing its force regardless of surrounding conditions such as dryness through lack of maintenance or stickiness associated with bottled products and which would adversely affect the performance of a mechanical hinge with a metal return spring.
  • a third advantage of the elastomeric return spring hinge is that the spring is inherent and so will not occupy any space whereas a metal spring requires both central space and anchorages at each end which it is less practical to apply to the apparatus required.
  • Fig 6 shows a prefered development of the present invention where the extension 8 of the double thickness section 9 provides a curve which will cause a rolling action between the First Members 1 and the strips of sheet elastomer 5 which results in the control of the locus of the cleft 6 and the crest 10 on each side resulting in an imaginary pivot point which can be made to coincide with the cleft points 6 and which has proved to be important to the ability of the apparatus in combining with the holders in applying it to containers correctly without slipping to one side or the other.
  • Fig 6 also shows an advantage in its construction since the shape shown for the First and Second Members shown by Figs 1 to 5 are very difficult to produce with the necessary dimensional control especially as it must be different for each different holder design which is dictated by the bottle shape but the double section 9 both allows the shaping to be done in two parts and joined by spot welding later and it provides the only thick part necessary since it is required to take screw threads for screws to clamp the elastomeric sheet strip. .
  • Figs 1 to 5 show that the Second Member 2 is divided to produce the two activating levers for operating against the upper wall of the holder 21 which will be produced concave when applied to containers and this too is made more practical as shown by Fig 6 through the addition of a moulded resin compound to produce the cooperating convex shape 12.
  • Figs 10 and 11 show an ideal shape for the First and Second Members where they are moulCted.
  • One such moulding is produced on an internal former machine wherein the wall panels are represented by four members having one and two flat sides and pivoted at each end on clamps able to move vertically and horizontally such that the inside form can be made up to any such form, while the outer surface is covered by a stiff sheet with plastic covering and apropriate lines of fold adapted to be clamped over the outer surface.
  • Stainless steel inserts are provided at the ends of the Second Member lever end for making active contact and other inserts are provided for the screw threads. If stainless steel inserts are used between the First and Second Members then poyester resin catalized,with glass cloth which is well impregnated is better than epoxy resin catalised, with carbon fibre fillaments.
  • Figure 4 shows that the Second Member(parts) 2 is here divided and operated as two separate levers because the holder in this instance is symetrical and the two levers thus provided have moved upwards and are higher than the crests 10 of the First Members 1 which have made contact with the side walls 18c and 20b below the upper wall 21, thus the holder itself performs as a major active part of the apparatus as the upper wall moves into the apparatus, while the First Members continue to move further inward to initiate the inward buckling of the side walls 18c and 20b the crests 10 will reach a maximum point beyond which they cannot go due to the geometry necessary to allow the requirement already described.
  • Second Members 2 come together to complete the Second Member 2 which will take over from the First Members 1 and be able to exert pressure over the whole of the upper wall 21 and the folds 7a and 7b with folds 26 of the holder take over to combine with the apparatus to apply the force from the Second Member 2,with the-holder confined between clefts 6, until it is applied to the bottles as shown by Fig 5.
  • the support member 3 will then retract in the direction of the arrow 14 and because the shape of the holder is changed irretractably the Second Members 2 are held as one so that the First Members 1 cannot move outward to release the holder, therefore the parallel depth 15 of the form of the present invention is included to allow the release of Second Member parts 2 and the dependent First Member parts 1 through the inclination of the spring hinges 5 of the present invention to open rapidly and facilitate fast action.
  • FIGs 4 to 5, 7, 9 to 11 show joined panels forming the holder with their practical proportions and positions for performing according to the invention which extends to the blanks for the purpose of their application to containers as holders.
  • the holder may be erected into a rectangular tube structure by simply gluing a lap extension 16 of the bottom panel 19 to the related side wall 18a and although the gluing operation is an added expense it is useful in that the means for erecting it are more simple and the supporting machinery is therefore cheaper.
  • the blank may be arranged such that three or more resultant resistances to forces in different directions are in opposition to make them immovable in the normal course of usage.
  • all members of the applied holder and bottles together are in tension or compression to form a prestressed monocoque construction therefore such directional resistance to movement can be arranged.
  • Fig 7 shows the necks of the end bottles of two rows of bottles with their necks each through a lower opening 24 of lower walls 19 joined together therefore there are two separate holders according to the invention each a mirror image of the other and embodied in one blank.
  • any of the blanks for the holders could be cut from board with a die cut forme and with gutters between in the normal way of the trade, it is possible with the blank shown by Fig 8 to have a particular arrangement of the invention wherein the blanks interlock and so economise in board further since no guttering waste is included.
  • the walls are arranged with the join made between the lower part of the side wall 18a and the upper part of the side wall 18c and 18b together but in other ways the references are as in previous Figs 4, 5, or 7.
  • the lower wall 19 has openimgs24 which rest on the shoulders of the bottles and which wall is joined by a line of fold to side walls comprising 18a and 18b with 18c,and 20a and 20b joined by a line of fold to upper wall 21 with opening 23 to receive the rim of the bottles and surrounded by tabs 22 with their free end for engaging below the rim of the bottles or other rimmed container for locking the other walls in their place and holding side wall extensions 25 tightly under the bottle rim and from which the superiority of this form of holder is derived.
  • wall 18a will resist a force able to move 18b away from its position flat against upper wall 22 while 18b will itself resist a movement away from the resistant bottle and which in turn is held by a similar action of the opposite side Therefore the components for resisting in three opposing directions is present at the confined corner 26 .of Fig 5 and would prevent the escape of any wall if 26 was a line of cut instead of a line of fold, provided that the cut edge of 18a would not slip off the cut edge of 18c and the cut edge of 18c would not slip off the cut edge of 18a.
  • wall 18a has extension 18b and wall 18c has extension 18d with the confluence of the extensions at line 26b,.the extensions interlocked and preventing the above slipping.
  • Such interlocking also prevents twisting of the tubular structure and which if it had a cut line at 26,would cause the cut edges to slideone over the other.
  • the locking tabs 22 may engage a rim of the bottle as shown by Fig 11 but will preferably engage a rim of the closure so allowing the upper wall 21 to be higher and which is better because it will allow the wall extensions 25 to be shorter and so be able to support much heavier loads.
  • the extensions 25 are given much more strength when applied to the bottles because their dependent creases 35a, 35b, and 35c allow the board to bend around the container at that point to provide a stiff corrugation.
  • the extensions 18b which are hinged at fold lines 26b, are provided with subextensions 17 which are cut from the side wall 18a and are therefore on the opposite side of fold lines 26b to the extensions 18b as shown in Fig 8.
  • Fig 9 shows that when extension 18d of 18c is pushed into the slit vacated by subextensions 17 then 17 will be displaced and rotated on its hinge as shown by arrow 30 thus providing a tendency for 18b to find its way between 18c and 21 as seen when erect ready for application in Fig 10 so that it will become trapped when secured to bottles as shown by Fig 11.
  • the tendency described is important to the apparatus because if 18b were to slip slightly to the other side of perpendicular then it would not deflect into the angle between 18c and 21 and there is no convenient control method for the apparatus to operate inside the holder therefore here again the holder is a part of the apparatus for application of the holder to containers. This is especially important where the holder must be erected in one place and transported to another place for application, such as a row of bottles inside a crate for the apparatus to operate the therein.
  • the holders described are ideal for crated bottles particularly where the crates have separators between the individual bottles.
  • Such transport apparatus through retention of the holder is a further feature of the invention, in one embodiment the necks of the bottle are used to retain the holders immediately prior to application but in another embodiment there is provided a probe able to project through openings in the Second Member 2,Fig 10, and which openings it'must have because it is shaped to fit to the upper wall 21 through which the bottle closures will project.
  • the probe is therefore central with the final position of a bottle and able to retain an erected holder in that position.
  • the probe 31. carries means able to engage a holder for instance by a head slightly larger than the opening 23 able to penetrate between the free ends of the tabs 22 and so pick up the holder positioned below it and transport it as required.
  • the holder can then be removed onto the bottles and then applied to them by the decent of the Second Member 2,on the support member 3, to collapse 18c, 18b and 21 together, and similarly collapse 20b and 21 together, as in Figs 4 to 5 onto bottle 32 and in Fig 11 onto bottles 34 where the holder is secured without any gluing cost the . apparatus will then retract as described for Fig 5.
  • transport means can be used with any supporting machine arrangement for the apparatus and with any form of the blank, however a particularly suitable arrangement for applying holders to crated bottles would include a number of such apparatus for a single application to a full crate of bottles and fixed to act as one, first moving to a position over a group of erected holders by passing them through an erecting tunnel, the apparatus moving down to pick up the holders on the probes 31, the apparatus moving up and on to ' a position over the centres of the bottles in the crate, then down so that the probe 31 will stop short of the bottles and the Second Members 2 will pull the holder from the probe and continue down to stop with the holders applied to the bottles before returning to repeat the cycle.
  • a second group of apparatus could make a similar travel such that while the first group of apparatus moves down to pick up holders the other moves down in harness to apply its holder group and while the two groups of apparatus are up the crate is replaced with another crate of bottles without holders, therefore a relatively slow and simple machine could provicb a good output due to the quantity of bottles in a crate.
  • FIG. 1 shows the substrate refered to in claim 1 and which may be substantially flat for the support of disposable bottles made in the same batch of glassware but which substrate may be of special formation and diagramaticall shown by Fig 14.
  • Fig 14 like Fig312 and 13 are greatly exaggerated since the real deviation, if drawn to scale,would not be discernable.
  • Figure 14 shows the base (A) with spring loaded plungers (I) which are best understood with reference to Figs 15, 16 and 17.
  • (D) is a slat feed conveyor for carrying crates forward to the substrate which supports the bottles in this way and which I call the Equalising Bed 35 generally, and located for instance in the machine shown by Fig 17 as 35.
  • the Equalising Bed has spring loaded rails (B) on each side to support the crate 36 as they are pushed forward by flights 37 to ensure correct timing.
  • the spring loading of the rail support (C) is only sufficient to carry the filled crate so that rail (B) will collapse when the bottles within the semi- flexible crate 36 are pressed down against the central resisting pungers (G), outer resisting plungers (H) and corner resisting plungers (I).
  • the bottles are pressed downwardly by an embodiment of the invention shown by Fig 18 wherein similar reference letters are used.
  • One difference being that the side skirts 11 of the apparatus are removed and another difference is that flat spring plates 38 are fixed to each side, the plates having a cleft 39 coinciding with each side of the bottle for centering the bottles when the apparatus is in the downward position, see the lower part of Fig 18.
  • the main difference is that there is an additional level surface 40 for pressing the top of the bottles until the tallest bottle is pressed level because the additional level surface 40 is set to push downwardly until it reaches the lowest bottles normally encountered. Therefore the tallest bottles are displaced downwardly by flexing the semi-flexible crate and the plunger which supports it.
  • the plungers (G),(H)and (I) are shown supported by compression springs (J) which are in turn supported by pressure control thimbles (K) which are held by lock-nuts (L).
  • (N) is a plunger retaining plate.
  • (M) is the light springs for controlling the collapsing side rails (B).
  • (F) is a protective membrane sheet.
  • (E) is a slat conveyor for removing the crate after the holders have been applied to the bottles by them being moved forward again by the flights 37.
  • the platen 41 carries the apparatus and only one of the bottle centre lines of action is shown.
  • the probe 31 is spring loaded in the downward direction and it is controlled by it being held upwardly by the platen, excepting that it can only move downwardly to its limit shown at 31C.
  • the sequence of operation is that; the crate of capped bottles moves into position on rails (B) above the Equalising Bed 35 and below the platen 41 which is drawn down as a controlled press action after a row of carrier blanks 42, see Fig 17, has moved under the apparatus and a holder 42 is moved under the apparatus for application as shown by Fig 18.
  • the platen 41 and the apparatus follow the path of the arrow line "Y" of Fig 18 therefore;
  • the first level is 41A with the probe pick-up end at 31A;
  • the second level has the platen level at 41B and the probe pick-up end at 31B has engaged in the holder opening 23 as previously described;
  • the third position has the platen level again at position 41A and the probe at 31A with the holder on it and shown by the chain dot line as a rectangle, meanwhile the carrier which brought the holder to the position will remove and pick up another load set of holders in rectangular form for the next cycle;
  • the third position is where the platen and its apparatus continues on the move down but where the holder is pulled from the probe at 31C where it stops at the limit of its travel and said pulling is done by the Second Members 2 as previously described;
  • the fourth position has the platen in its lowest position 41D with the surfaces of the apparatus ) and refered to as 40.
  • the present invention provides a marked advance in the state of the art through providing a speedy and efficient apparatus operating in combination with the holders which provide multipackages able to display the bottle body, its content and label while holding them firmly to reduce bottle breakage, while saving both money and raw material resources.
