Definitions

  • the present invention concerns stretch wrap machines, and more particularly relates to stretch wrap machines with a top corner film transfer.
  • EP 0 180 517 A1 refers to a wrapping machine and a method for wrapping a product. A product positioned on a turntable is wrapped, wherein an end of the wrapping material is held sidewise near the top of the product.
  • the method of packaging a product with wrapping material may comprise wrapping the product with the wrapping material, bringing a portion of the wrapping material from a first position adjacent a side of the product to a second position above the product, and cutting the portion of the wrapping material to form a trailing end of the wrapping material such that the trailing end is free.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a stretch wrap machine of the present invention in an initial position.
  • FIG. 8A is a perspective view of the arm of the wrapping assembly of the present invention.
  • FIG. 15D is a side view of a track, a vehicle and a cantilever beam of the arm of the wrapping assembly of the second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the illustrated arm 34 includes a top beam 64, a side support beam 66, a top support beam 68, a cantilever beam 70 and a side beam 72 extending from the guide plate 46.
  • the top beam 64 extends horizontally from a top of the guide plate 46 and the side beam 72 extends horizontally from a lower portion of the guide plate 46.
  • the top beam 64 and the side beam 72 are illustrated as being parallel.
  • the cantilever beam 70 extends forwardly from an end of the side beam 72.
  • the top support beam 68 extends forwardly and downwardly from an end of the top beam 64 and a central portion of the cantilever beam 70.
  • the side support beam 66 extends laterally and forwardly from a side of the guide plate 46 to a central portion of the cantilever beam 70.
  • the arm 34 of the wrapping assembly 22 preferably includes an electronic eye for determining a distance from the top of the product 12.
  • the electronic eye will activate the solenoid 58, which will rotate the pawl 60 into contact with the ratchet plate 44 to prevent any further downward movement of the arm 34, when the arm 34 is a predetermined distance above the product 12 (see FIG. 2 ).
  • the stretch wrap machine 10 is ready to begin wrapping the product 12 with the stretch wrap 20.
  • the turntable 16 will begin to rotate (see FIGS. 4 and spa). As the turntable 16 rotates, the corner 200 of the product 12 will catch the rope transition point 29 of the stretch wrap 20 between the vehicle 38 and the source 18 of stretch wrap 20 and begin pulling the stretch wrap 20 around the product 12. Furthermore, the carriage 30 will move the source 18 of stretch wrap 20 vertically to allow the stretch wrap 20 to surround an outside of the product 12 between a top portion and a bottom portion of the product 12.
  • the method of wrapping the product 12 with the stretch wrap 20 between the top portion and the bottom portion of the product 12 is well known to those skilled in the art.
  • the vehicle 38a could travel almost to the outermost end 90a of the horizontal section 78a and still capture the portion of the stretch wrap 20, but can move all of the way to the outermost end 90a of the horizontal section 78a after the wrapping procedure has begun to move the portion of the stretch wrap out of being captured between the flap 502 and the first cam 500 (because the first cam 500 will end short of the outermost end 90a).
  • the first cam 500 helps to hold an end of the stretch wrap from the source of stretch wrap in engagement with the vehicle 38a and the second cam 504 helps to rotate the finger 122a on the horizontal section 78a of the arm (instead of using only the tension of the stretch wrap as in the first embodiment) and to thereby cut the stretch wrap.
  • the vertical column 700, the cantilever arm 702, the pivot pin 711, the motor and gear assembly 706, the rotating arm 704, the clearance member 712 and the movement of the carriage 30c on the vertical section 714 of the rotating arm 704 are well known to those skilled in the art.
