Abstract
Description
Claims (32)
- A packaging machine (10) for packaging layers of articles (38, 44) in a carton (100) separated by a divider panel (13) having deformable means (62) for nesting between adjacent articles (A) on opposite sides of said panel (13), which machine (10) comprises means for locating said divider panel such that said divider panel is located in registry with the articles in first layer, means for deforming the deformable means (62) such that the ends of said articles (A) and said deformable means are at least partially nested and means to convey said divider panel and said first layer (38) of articles together along a feed path, further comprising means for thereafter positioning a second article (44) in nested relationship with the first layer of articles and said divider panel.
- A packaging machine according to claim 1 wherein said deforming means comprises a device (20) for simulating the end of the article to be nested in the divider panel deformable means thereby adapting the deformable means to the end of the first article so as to be nestable with the second article.
- A machine according to claim 2 wherein said simulating device (20) comprises a cup device (80) for emulating the end of an article.
- A machine according to claims 2 or 3 wherein said deforming means comprises a plurality of said simulating devices (20) in a continuous series.
- A machine according to claim 4 wherein two or more series of said simulating devices are provided adjacent one another.
- A machine according to any of claims 2 to 4 wherein said simulating device (20) further comprises means (84) for mounting said series of said simulating devices for rotary movement toward and away from the first articles.
- A machine according to any preceding claim wherein said conveying means comprises a conveyor (42) having means for cooperating with the divider panel thereby to convey the divider panel in a predetermined manner, said conveying means comprising a lug for cooperating with at least one recess (60) defined in the divider panel (13).
- A machine according to claim 7 wherein said lug is conveyed through an endless path.
- A machine according to claim 7 or claim 8 wherein the lug is adapted to positioning said divider panel at one end of a first article such that the deformable means is located in registry with an end of the first article.
- A machine according to any one of the preceding claims wherein said locating means comprises a member (18) for effecting displacement of a displaceable part (64) of the divider panel into an operative position in contact with the articles (A).
- A machine according to claim 10 wherein said member (18) comprises a finger (70) mounted to radially extend from a rotatable device (74) for entry into and exit from an aperture defined in said divider panel (13), and wherein said displaceable part comprises a tab (64) struck from said aperture.
- A packaging machine according to claim 11 wherein the positioning means comprises means for stacking a second article in registry with the first article and the deformable means, wherein said stacking means comprises a means to enable the second article to drop onto said deformable means.
- A machine according to claim 12 further comprising means defining a first feed path (42) for feeding first articles and means (22, 91) defining a second feed path for feeding second articles, and wherein said stacking means comprises a regulator to regulate the movement of the first and second article along respective ones of said feed paths.
- A machine according to claim 13 wherein said regulator effects registry of the ends of the articles prior to stacking.
- A machine according to claim 14 wherein said regulator comprises a chute through which one of the articles moves in order to abut said divider panel and the other article in a stacked arrangement.
- A machine according to claim 14 or claim 15, wherein the regulator further comprises a star wheel (90, 92).
- A machine according to any of claims 12 to 16 further comprising means (28, 30, 52. 54) for applying a wraparound carton (100) to stacked layers of first and second articles.
- A method of packaging in a carton (100) layers of articles (A) separated by a divider panel (13) having deformable means (62) for nesting between adjacent articles on opposite sides of the panel, comprising the steps of positioning a divider panel (13) on a first layer of articles such that said deformable means (62) is located in registry with the ends of the articles, and deforming the deformable means such that the ends of the articles and said deformable means are at least partially nested, and positioning a second layer of articles in nested relationship with said layer of articles and said divider panel.
- A method according to claim 18 wherein the step of deforming said deforming means is performed using a device (20) which simulates the end of the article to be nested in said divider panel deformable means.
- A method according to claim 19 comprising the further step of using a plurality of said simulating devices (20) to deform a plurality of said deformable means.
- A method according to claim 20 wherein a series of said simulating devices is used in a continuous series.
- A method according to any of claims 19 to 21 wherein said simulating device or, as the case may be, said series of simulating devices is rotated in use.
- A method according to any one of claims 19 to 22 further comprising the steps of wrapping a carton blank (100) having a series of hingably interconnected panels around the stacked group of articles and locking the ends of the blank together to form a packaged carton.
- A carton produced according to any of claims 18 to 23..
- Apparatus for locating and nesting a divider panel (13) having deformable means (62) for nesting between adjacent articles (A) on opposite sides of said panel, which apparatus comprises means (18) for locating said divider panel such that said divider panel is located in registry with the end of at least one article, means (20) for deforming the deformable means such that the end of said at least one article and said deformable means are at least partially nested and a means (42) to convey said deformed divider panel and said first layer of articles together along a feed path.
- Apparatus according to claim 25 wherein said deforming means comprises a device (20) for simulating the end of the article (A) to be nested in the divider panel deformable means (62) thereby adapting the deformable means to the end of the first article so as to be nestable with the second article.
- Apparatus according to claim 26 wherein said simulating device comprises a cup device (80) for emulating the end of an article.
- Apparatus according to claims 26 or 27 wherein said deforming means comprises a plurality of said simulating devices (22) in a continuous series.
- Apparatus according to claim 28 wherein two or more series of said simulating devices (20) are provided adjacent one another.
- Apparatus according to any one of claims 26 to 27 wherein said simulating device further comprises means (84) for mounting said series of said simulating devices for rotary movement toward and away from the first articles.
- Apparatus according to any one of claims 25 to 30 wherein said locating means comprises a member (18) for effecting displacement of a displaceable part (64) of the divider panel into an operative position in contact with the articles (A).
- Apparatus according to claim 31 wherein said member comprises a finger (70) mounted to radially extend from a rotatable device (74) for entry into and exit from an aperture defined in said divider panel (13), and wherein said displaceable part comprises a tab (64) struck from said aperture.
