Definitions

  • separation dividers intended to provide the packaging of groups of bottles with reticular spatial structures capable of lodging the bottles preventing thereby the damage thereof caused by mutual contact.
  • separation dividers are those described in Spanish Patents N° 9400980 and N° 9601786, consisting of an assembly of reticular dividers storable in the form of sheets folded upon themselves.
  • Figure 5 is perspective view of a gripping claw in accordance with one the preferred embodiments of the invention.
  • the machine starts from a reticular-shaped separating unit that is folded forming a sheet.
  • This sheet typically made of cardboard, is supplied to the machine from a storage pack (4).
  • the machine of the invention commences its operation by removing, through suitable means, one separation divider from the storage pack that is thereafter positioned in the machine's processing circuit.
  • suitable means for such purpose it is employed pusher stops (5) that rotate in an endless chain (6) and push the lower unit located in a storage pack (4).
  • the storage pack (4) of separation dividers (1) is provided on the support surface thereof with an aperture (7) which enables the stops (5) to both reach the level of the last unit (1) and push it towards the body of the machine of the invention.
  • the aforesaid claws (3) placed at one of the two sides of the machine are also provided with guiding means for the separation dividers (1).
  • the said means consists in that to the claw (3) is attached an angle-shaped elbow (9), see figure 5, which, whenever the claw (3) grips the separation divider (1), permits the separation of the laps from the separation divider (1) facilitating the introduction of tips of the guiding bodies (14a).
  • the guiding bodies responsible for the weakening process of the separating unit (1) structure are shown, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, in figures 2 and 3, and receive numerals 14a and 14b.
  • the machine of the present invention performs the process with a continuous operation.
  • the construction thereof is such that it is not necessary to stop the cycle of the machine in order to perform any of the handling processes of the separating units (1).
