ネルの上に移される。FIG. 14 is an exploded perspective view of the carton panel connecting device according to the present invention, which shows a product such as a plastic cup P.
Is in the process of being packaged in the box type carton C. A pair of panels f, m forming the bottom of the carton C
(In FIG. 14, only one panel m is shown)
Are arranged on the underside of the elongated support member S without being connected to each other. The upper surface of the support member S is a flat surface, and the cup P is supported on the flat surface until the connection of the panels f and m is completed. The cup P moves in the longitudinal direction of the support member S together with the carton C while being supported on the upper surface of the support member S. The cup P is the downstream end of the support member S (first
As it moves toward the right end in FIG. 4, the panels f and m are gradually bent below the support member S,
By the time the cup P passes the downstream end of the support member S, the connection of both panels f and m is completed. The lower surface of the support member S is sloped surfaces 12 and 14 extending in directions approaching each other. The thickness of the supporting member S in the up-down direction becomes thinner toward the downstream side in the moving direction of the cup P in the longitudinal direction of the supporting member S. Therefore, the bottom panels f, m of the carton
Are gradually bent around the lower surface of the support member S and are edge-to-edge joined to each other, and then when the cup P and the carton leave the downstream end of the support member S, the cup P
Are transferred from the upper surface of the support member S onto the bottom panel of the carton after the connection is completed.

徐々に薄くなる。The support member S is disposed on the elongated central block W. This central block W has side surfaces 16 and 18,
The side surfaces 16 and 18 gradually widen their relative angles as they approach the downstream side of the central block W. The thickness of the central block W, like the support member S, gradually decreases toward the downstream side.

An inner surface 20 having a predetermined shape is included, and the inner surface 20 is aligned with the side surface 16 of the central block W and forms a gap 22 between the side surface 16 and the inner surface 20. Similarly, the side block VI includes an inner surface 24 having a predetermined shape, and the inner surface 24 is aligned with the side surface 18 of the central block W and forms a gap 26 between the side surface 18 and the inner surface 24.

This bottom panel f,
It is chosen that m is free to slide through the gaps 22,26, ie the bottom panels f, m are free to move along the folded path formed by the gaps 22,26.

Shown in FIGS. These figures show the stages in which the pair of panels f and m move closer to each other as they move downstream and become more horizontal. Of course, the angles of the panels f and m passing through the gaps 22 and 26 with respect to the perpendicular line increase with each step.

In FIG. 8, the lower edge of the panel f is from the upper space of the gap 26 (the space between the slope 14 and the inner surface 24) to the lower space of the gap 26 (the space between the lower part of the inner surface 24 and the side block V). Is about to enter
The lower end edge (fixing tab) of the panel m enters the lowermost portion of the gap 22 and hits the lower edge portion of the panel f. At this stage, the upward folding portion of the panel f is still supported by the guide surface 28. Therefore, this folded portion is located above the lower edge of the panel m.

カートンは前進を続けている。In FIGS. 9 to 13, both the panels f and m are the supporting members S.
It shows the stage of gradually connecting around. In FIG. 9, the panels f and m have already passed the downstream end of the central block W. Therefore, the folded portion of the panel f is arranged directly on the lower edge of the panel m. Also, the panel f
Since the lower edge of is inserted into the space below the gap 26,
It is located below the lower edge of the panel m. That is, the lower edge of the panel m is arranged between the lower edge of the panel f and the folded portion. After that, the panels f and m are further bent while maintaining this state as shown in FIGS. 10 to 13. That is, as the panels f and m move further downstream along the support member S, the inner surfaces 20 and 24 gradually widen their relative angles and approach a horizontal state, so that the panels f and m finally become. The lower edges of the panel f are connected to each other in a state of being arranged below the lower edge of the panel m.
This situation is shown in FIG. At each of these stages, the carton continues to move forward.

It is also possible to add a static folding device to the central block and fold a portion of the locking tab before the locking tab engagement step.

14) is inclined so that the thickness of the support member (S) in the up-down direction gradually becomes thinner toward both side edges of the support member and extends along the longitudinal direction of the support member, and the side blocks (V, VI ) Has an inner surface (20, 24) arranged at a distance from the both slopes (12, 14), and the inner surface (24) of one side block (VI) and one of the central blocks (W) are Between the side surface (18), the passage (2
6) is formed, and the inner surface (2) of the other side block (V) is formed.
0) and the other side surface (16) of the central block (W), a passage (22) of the other panel (m) is formed, and these both passages (22, 26) extend in the longitudinal direction of the support member. The angle formed by the two inner surfaces (20, 24) with each other increases along the downstream side of the movement path, and the inner surface (24) of one side block (VI) has the other side block (V). Downwardly below the inner surface (20) of the panel, and between the downwardly extending inner surface (24) and the other side block (V), a space for receiving the lower edge of one panel (f) is formed. This space is arranged below the passage (22) of the other panel (m), and the lower edge of the other panel (m) is placed between the lower edge of the one panel (f) and the folded portion. A carton panel connecting device characterized by connecting both panels by arranging them.
