    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • In FIG. 1 a first mode of embodiment of the automatic packaging machine object of the invention is represented, comprising a bag-[0022] shaping train 1 that determines a virtual longitudinal axis X-X, and a packaging train 2 that determines a virtual longitudinal axis Y-Y, both trains 1 and 2 being arranged longitudinally to each other, with their respective virtual longitudinal axes X-X and Y-Y parallel to each other, and linked by means of a bag transfer device 3, which transfers bags from the bag-shaping train 1 to the packaging train 2.
  • The bag-[0023] shaping train 1 essentially comprises the following elements: a supply device 4 of a laminate of thermoweldable material; a welding device 5 for bag-bottoms; a welding device 6 for bag sides; weld cooling means 7; stamping means 8; and transport and vertical cutting means 9. This configuration for the bag-shaping train 1, is solely given by way of example, and corresponds with that represented in the embodiment examples in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 corresponding to the second, third and fourth mode of embodiment of the machine of the invention; in addition, and for simplification purposes, in said modes of embodiment the same numerical references have been used to designate identical components.
  • The [0024] packaging train 2 comprises bag transport means 10 provided with a transport guide 11, which describes a closed path composed of two equal semi-circumferential portions 12 facing each other by their respective inner faces and linked at their corresponding ends by means of straight portions 13, the transport guide 11 determining the virtual longitudinal axis Y-Y of the packaging train 2. The transport guide 11 configures an oblong interior 14 which has packaging means 15, provided with dosage devices 16 of the product to be packaged and bag closing devices 17, carrying out the evacuation of the bags filled with the product and closed by means of a ramp 18. This packaging train 2 configuration is given by way of example and corresponds with that represented in the embodiment examples in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, corresponding to the second, third, and fourth mode of embodiment of the machine of the invention; in addition, and for simplification purposes, in said modes of embodiment the same numerical references have been used to designate identical components.
  • The second mode of embodiment of the automatic packaging machine of the invention, represented in FIG. 2, differs from the first mode of embodiment, represented in FIG. 1, in virtue of the fact that the virtual longitudinal axis X-X of the bag-shaping [0025] train 1 is arranged perpendicularly as regards the virtual longitudinal axis Y-Y determined by the transport guide 11 of the packaging train 2.
  • The third mode of embodiment of the automatic packaging machine represented in FIG. 3 comprises two bag-shaping [0026] trains 1 and a packaging train 2. Both bag-shaping trains 1 are similar to that described earlier for the first mode of embodiment of the machine of the invention in FIG. 1, whereas the packaging train 2 differs from that described in the first mode of embodiment by the fact that in the oblong interior 14, configured by the transport guide 11, there are first and second packaging means 15 arranged therein. Each bag-shaping train 1 links with the packaging train 2 by means of a respective transfer device 3. In this third mode of embodiment it can be observed that the bag-shaping train 1 has its virtual longitudinal axis X-X perpendicular to the virtual longitudinal axis Y-Y determined by the transport guide 11 of the packaging train 2 and to one side of same, whereas the other bag-shaping train 1 has its virtual longitudinal axis X-X also perpendicular to the virtual longitudinal axis Y-Y of the transport guide 11 and on its other side.
  • The fourth mode of embodiment of the automatic packaging machine represented in FIG. 4 comprises two bag-shaping [0027] trains 1 and a packaging train 2. Both bag-shaping trains 1 are equal to one another and are similar to the bag-shaping train 1 described for the first mode of embodiment of the machine of the invention, represented in FIG. 1, and pointed out therein is the fact that the two bag-shaping trains are arranged on a single bed, whereas the packaging train 2 does not differ from that described in the first mode of embodiment of the machine of the invention in FIG. 1. In this fourth mode of embodiment of the machine of the invention it can be observed that the two bag-shaping trains 1 have their respective virtual longitudinal axes X-X arranged parallel to each other and perpendicular as regards the virtual longitudinal axis Y-Y determined by the transport guide 11 of the packaging train 2.
  • The fifth mode of embodiment of the automatic packaging machine represented in FIG. 5 comprises a deposit for ready-made [0028] bags 19 and a packaging train 2, which only has its transport guide 11 represented and is linked by means of a bag transfer device 3. In this fifth mode of embodiment it can be appreciated that the virtual longitudinal axis X-X of the deposit for ready-made bags 19 is arranged parallel with regard to the virtual longitudinal axis Y-Y determined by the transport guide 11 of the packaging train 2.
  • The sixth mode of embodiment of the automatic packaging machine represented in FIG. 6 comprises two deposits for ready-made [0029] bags 19 and a packaging train 2 whereof, just as in the previous fifth mode of embodiment, only its transport guide 11 has been represented, each deposit for ready-made bags 19 being linked with the packaging train 2 by means of a respective transfer device 3. In this sixth mode of embodiment it can be seen that the virtual longitudinal axis X-X of a deposit for ready-made bags 19 is arranged parallel to the virtual longitudinal axis Y-Y of the transport guide 11 of the packaging train 2 and on one of its sides, whereas the virtual longitudinal axis X-X of the other deposit for ready-made bags 19 is also parallel to said virtual longitudinal axis Y-Y and on its other side.
