Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a parts supplying apparatus. More specifically, the present invention pertains to an apparatus for supplying resin molded parts such as pouring attachments that are to be used on containers.
  • An automatic attachment device is utilized to automatically attach the molded resin pouring attachment to the container. These automatic attachment devices are designed to continuously advance the containers along a conveying path with the pouring attachments being secured or attached one by one to the continuously moving containers.
  • a parts supplying apparatus is typically used to feed the pouring attachments to the automatic attachment device.
  • the parts supplying apparatus is designed to align and continuously feed the pouring attachments one by one to the automatic attachment device.
  • Conventional parts supplying apparatus are mainly of the vibrating type in which the parts such as the pouring attachments are aligned and fed one by one.
  • Vibrating parts feeders or supplying apparatus include a rail arranged in a spiral shape at a fixed sloping angle. Vibration is applied to the rail while the parts are supplied at one time to the center portion of the rail. The vibration causes the parts to vibrate and thus align in a row and gradually move down the sloping rail.
  • the pouring attachment to be attached to the container must be in a hygienic or sterile state.
  • a vibrating parts feeder such as that described above for feeding the pouring attachments for subsequent attachment to the container, it is possible for foreign objects to cling to the pouring attachments as the pouring attachments gradually move down the rail. These foreign objects on the pouring attachments can adversely affect the sterility of the containers when the pouring attachments fed by the vibrating parts feeder are subsequently attached to the containers.
  • vibrating parts feeders of the type described above suffer from the disadvantage that although the feeders can align the parts to some extent, situations arise where the vibratory action is not entirely effective to produce a well formed row of parts. Also, problems have arisen in the context of using the feeders to feed parts having different shapes. In this regard, portions of the vibratory parts feeder may not be well suited to the particular shape of the parts being fed and so difficulties arise in properly aligning the parts in a row, Thus, it has been found necessary in some instances to perform tests and effect design alterations in the feeder to address such problems.
  • DE 28 48 833 A1 discloses a device for fixing valves at packaging bags or webs of packaging material.
  • the device comprises a supply reel on which a carrier with the valves fixed thereto is stored. From the supply reel the carrier is guided along a rail and around a guiding piece in direction to a storage reel where the carrier is stored without the valves. The valves are released from the carrier by moving the guiding piece in direction to a tool which is used for fixing the valves to an outer surface of the bag or web.
  • the guide member possesses a guide surface along which a parts array is guided.
  • a drawing arrangement is disposed at a fixed position along the guide surface for allowing the carrier to be drawn away from the parts.
  • the apparatus also includes a rotatably driven winding device around which the carrier is wound for pulling the carrier by way of the drawing arrangement to effect movement if the parts array within the guide passage as the parts array is guided along the guide surface and for causing the carrier to be separated from the parts as the parts move past the drawing arrangement before being discharged from the guide member.
  • a pair of guide plates is positioned between the guide member and the winding device.
  • the pair of guide plates include a first guide plate and a second plate.
  • the first guide plate is located upstream of the second guide plate with respects to a direction of movement of the carrier.
  • Each guide plate includes one opening or a pair of spaced apart openings through which the carrier extends for being guided towards the winding device.
  • the openings in the first guide plate are spaced apart a greater distance than the openings in the second guide plate.
  • the parts supplying apparatus is designed to feed a parts array 10 in the form of a plurality of pouring spouts or pouring attachments 11.
  • the pouring attachments are attached to a pair of wires 31 and 33 that are disposed generally parallel to one another.
  • the pouring attachments 11 are molded articles and are attached to the wires 31, 33 in a row to form an elongated strip or parts array of pouring attachments 11.
  • the pouring attachments 11 are disposed in the parts array 10 in substantially the same vertical orientation with respect to one another.
  • the pouring attachments 11 each include a base 16, an opening portion 15 that is adapted to effect opening of the container to which the attachment is secured, and a lifting part 13 that causes the opening part 15 to perform the opening operation through lifting action.
  • the underside of each of the pouring attachments 11 is attached to the two parallel wires 31 and 33.
  • the wires 31 and 33 are preferably integrally attached and formed with the resin molded pouring attachments 11 when the attachments 11 are molded by placing the wires 31, 33 into the molding die.
  • the wires 31, 33 which can be made of plastic or metal such as steel, constitute a carrier for carrying the pouring attachments 11 and forming the pouring attachment array 10.
  • the wires 31, 33 are attached in the vicinity of the exterior underside surface of the pouring attachments 11 so that the wires 31, 33 can be removed from the pouring attachments 11 by pulling the wires away from the pouring attachments.
  • the wires 31, 33 attached to the pouring attachments are spaced apart and preferably positioned adjacent opposite ends of the pouring attachments as shown in FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the pouring attachment 11 separated from the wires 31, 33 and attached to the top of a container 20 formed from paper, plastic or the like.
  • FIG. 8 also illustrates the pouring spout 11 attached to the top of a container.
  • the pouring attachment can be secured to the container 20 by an automatic setting apparatus which is not specifically shown. More specifically, the pouring attachment 11 is attached to a sealing sheet (not specifically shown in the drawing figures) that has been previously adhered to the container 20 to close or seal the container opening 21 formed in the top of the container 20. The opening 21 in the container 20 is then opened by pulling up on the lifting part 13 of the pouring attachment 11 as shown in FIG. 5. This causes the opening part 15 to pivot down into the container opening 21, thus breaking the sealing sheet extending over the container opening 21.
  • the parts supplying apparatus includes a winder arrangement 40 that is comprised of a motor 41, a winding drum 43, a winding position adjuster 45, two spaced apart guide rollers 47, 49, and two spaced apart guide plates 51, 53.
  • the motor 41, the winding drum 43, the winding position adjuster 45, the pair of guide rollers 47, 49, and the pair of guide plates 51, 53 are all generally vertically oriented and disposed substantially parallel to one another.
  • the motor 41, the winding drum 43 and the winding position adjuster 45 extend through respective openings in a first plate member 42 while the pair of guide rollers 47, 49 and the pair of guide plates 51, 53 are disposed on a second plate member 44 that is spaced above the first plate member 42.
  • the motor 41 possesses a rotary axle 55 that is coupled to the rotary axle 59 of the winding drum 43 via a horizontally disposed belt 57.
  • the winding position adjuster 45 includes a rotary body or shaft 65 whose end is provided with a gear 63.
  • the end of the rotary axle 59 is also outfitted with a gear 61.
  • the gear 61 on the rotary axle 59 and the gear on the rotary body 65 engage one another. In this way, rotary movement of the motor 41 is transferred to the winding drum 43 and to the rotary body 65 of the winding position adjuster 45.
  • the winding position adjuster 45 is comprised of a generally vertically oriented support member 67 which supports and permits free rotation of the rotary body 65 and a vertically movable arm member 69 that is movable along the length of the rotary body 65.
  • the support member 67 is provided with a groove 73 extending along the surface of the support member 67 that faces the rotary body 65.
  • the outer peripheral surface of the rotary body 65 is provided with spiral grooves 71 that are engaged by a pin (not specifically shown) which is located in a through hole in the movable arm member 69.
  • the arm member 69 includes a generally horizontally extending projecting portion 69a having a free end that engages the vertical groove 73 of the support member 67 in such a way that the projecting portion 69a is guided over a vertical movement path.
  • the projecting portion 69a is also formed with a generally horizontally elongated hole 75 through which is adapted to pass the pair of wires 31, 33.
  • the first guide plate 51 is formed with two small holes 77, 77 and the second guide plate 53 is similarly. formed with two small holes 79, 79.
  • the holes 77, 77, 79, 79 are adapted to permit the passage of the pair of wires 31, 33 with the wires 31, 33 initially passing through the first guide plate 51 and subsequently through the second guide plate 53 located downstream of the first guide plate 51 with respect to the direction of travel of the wires 31, 33.
  • the distance between the pair of holes 79, 79 in the second guide plate 53 is smaller than that between the pair of holes 77, 77 in the first guide plate 51, thereby causing the wires 31, 33 to approach one another as they pass from the first guide plate 51 to the second guide plate 53.
  • the apparatus further includes an array guide member 80 for guiding the array 10 of interconnected pouring attachments 11.
  • the guide member 80 is an elongated, slender box-shaped element provided with a guide hole or guide passage 81 that extends along the length of the guide member 80.
  • the guide hole 81 is sized to accommodate therein the pouring attachment array 10.
  • the guide member 80 is provided with a pair of outlet holes 85 that communicate with the guide hole 81.
  • the outlet holes 85 extend through the guide member side wall 84 that faces towards the first guide plate 51.
  • the inside surface of the guide member side wall through which the outlet openings extend constitutes the guide surface 83 for the guide member 80.
  • the two outlet holes 85, 85 serve as a drawing arrangement through which are drawn the two wires 31, 33 from the pouring attachment array 10 passing through the guide hole 81 in the guide member 80. Furthermore, on the side wall 86 of the guide member 80 opposite the side wall 84 in which are located the outlet holes 85, 85 is provided with a generally horizontally elongated hole 87. This elongated hole 87 is adapted to receive a portion of the outer periphery of a rotary array advancing body 89 that is positioned adjacent the guide member 80.
  • the wires 31, 33 that are separated from the pouring attachments 11 and fed through the outlet holes 85, 85 in the guide member 80 are fed to the winder 40 by way of the pair of guide rollers 47, 49 that are positioned downstream of the first guide plate 51 and the second guide plate 53 with respect to the direction of advancement of the array 10.
  • the two guide rollers 47, 49 are mounted for free rotation on the second plate member 44.
  • the rotational axes of the guide rollers 47, 49 are substantially parallel to one another and to the rotational axis of the array advancing rotary body 89.
  • the motor 41 When the motor 41 is rotatably driven, the winding drum 43 starts to rotate via the belt connection 57. At the same time, the rotary body 65 rotates through the interengaging gears 61, 63. The rotation of the rotary body 65 causes the arm member 69 to move axially up and down along the length of the rotary body 65 through the engagement between the pin (not specifically shown) on the arm member 69 and the spiral grooves 71 on the rotary body 65.
  • the pouring attachments 11 are discharged from the guide member 80 to the outside and are fed one by one to an automatic setting apparatus (not specifically shown) by a feeding device (not specifically shown) such as a chute or a manipulator arm. All of the separated pouring attachments 11 face in the same direction or are oriented in the same manner, and there is no possibility that any of them will be turned upside down. For this reason, it is possible to accurately attach the pouring attachments 11 to the proper place on a container such as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the wires 31, 33 As the two wires 31, 33 are drawn out from the outlet holes 85, 85 and are passed through the small holes 77, 77, 79, 79 provided in the two guide plates 51, 53, the wires 31, 33 converge together as shown in FIG. 3 by virtue of the smaller spacing between the holes 79, 79 in the second guide plate 53.
  • the wires 31, 33 are then conveyed over the guide rollers 47, 49 and are directed to the winding position adjuster 45 where the converged wires 31, 33 pass through the opening 75 in the projecting portion 69a of the mounting arm 69.
  • the wires 31, 33 are then finally wound around the winding drum 43 as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the mounting arm 69 which is moving vertically along the winding drum to produce generally even wound layers of wires.
  • the parts array 10 can be delivered to the parts supply apparatus as shown in FIG. 1 in a sterile condition since the pouring attachments 11 and the wires 31, 33 are simultaneously molded as one unit and due to the array 10 being in a sealed box. Moreover, only the guide member 80 and the rotary body 89 contact the parts array 10, and so it is only necessary to sterile these two elements. Thus, it is possible to easily keep the pouring attachments 11 in a hygienic or sterile condition without great difficulty.
  • the second mold is removed from the attachment that has been molded on the carrier, and the carrier is shifted with the integrally molded attachment by the necessary spacing between attachments so that the next pouring attachment can be molded.
  • This process is advantageous as it represents a relatively efficient manner of making an aseptic parts array.
  • the present invention provides a parts supplying apparatus possessing a variety of advantages and desirable attributes. For example, a reduction in the size and cost associated with the parts supply apparatus can be rather easily achieved. Also, the design of the apparatus is well suited to ensuring minimal contact with the parts array so it is possible to maintain the sterility of the parts. Further, the parts supply apparatus of the present invention helps ensure accurate orientation of the parts removed from the parts array.
  • the guide hole 81 is provided in the guide member 80 and the guide surface 83 is provided to one surface of the guide hole.
  • the guide hole 81 is not necessary.
  • the structure need only be such that at least one surface of the parts array is in contact with a guide surface that guides the movement of the parts array and a drawing means is provided at a fixed position on the guide surface to draw the wires for a parts array in a direction away from the pouring attachments or other molded parts.
  • the carrier illustrated in FIG. 4 is not limited to two wires, but can be in the form of three or more wires.
