- the opposite transverse tab 34 is placed on a horizontally folded area of the longitudinal tab 31 and folded next to the erected portion of the longitudinal tab 32 in the closing plane.
- the folding, forming and holding members are then withdrawn, namely the folding arms 73 and the flap holders 67, 68.
- the longitudinal tabs 31, 32 thereby reach the (horizontal) closed position, with the proviso that the longitudinal tabs 31, 32 engage an end amount above and in each case diagonally opposite to the other end region below the respective associated transverse tabs 33, 34 (FIG. 27).
- the actuator for the transverse tabs 33, 34 is arranged above the movement path of the cartons 14 in the region of the folding station 62. These are about each transverse tabs 33, 34 associated Querfalter 75, 76. These capture about the same time the two transverse tabs 33, 34 on the outside and cause the folding in the closing plane of the box 14.
- the angular Querfalter 75, 76 are for this purpose from a horizontal starting position (Fig. 18) downwardly movable, in particular counter-pivoting, so that angled folding pieces 77 obtained at the transverse tabs 33, 34 conditioning and fold inward movement inward.
- the transverse folders 75, 76 are mounted on an above the cartons 14 fixedly arranged, elongated folding carrier 78, namely at the ends thereof.
- the folding flaps are in the fan formation.
- the Schwenkfalter 71, 72 and the folding leg 73 are moved out by appropriate movement of the folded position in the region of the carton 14 (Fig. 27), so that the folding tabs 31..34 lie against each other.
- the carton 14 can now be transported further by the discharge conveyor 60, in the above-described folding through the taping station 63, without attaching a tape.
