  • FIG. 1 The structure of this invention is depicted generally in FIG. 1 and comprises an endless tucking conveyor designated by the numeral 19 which is driven by a driving sprocket 11 and which is supported by a pair of idler sprockets 12 and 13. Idler sprockets 12 and 13 are affixed to shafts 14 and which in turn are supported on frame elements not shown in FIG. 1. Sprocket 11 is mounted on a driving shaft designated by the numeral 16 which in turn is supported on upright elements 17 affixed to the frame 1. Generally speaking, suitabletucking studs and tucking pawls are mounted on tucking conveyor 1d and engage carton tucker panels associated with the end panels designated by the numerals 18 and 19 in FIG. 2 and force those panels downwardly into substantially vertical relation at the ends of each package group.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 With regard to the structure of the carton to which the machine and method of this invention are especially As is best shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the blanks adapted, reference should be had to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4. From these figures it is apparent that the end panels 18 and 19 are foldably joined respectively along fold lines 20 and 21 to a top panel 22. Furthermore, it will be observed that sloping top panels 23 and 24 are foldably joined along fold lines 25 and 26, respectively, to top panel 22. One side panel 27 is foldably joined along the fold line 28 to sloping top panel 23 and a similar side panel 29 is foldably joined along the fold line 30 to sloping top panel 24.
  • Bottom lap panel 31 is foldably joined along the fold line 32 to the side panel 27 while a similar lap panel 33 is foldably joined along a fold line 34 to the side panel 29.
  • suitable locking and tightening means are provided in the lap panels 31 and 33 and these means are utilized to secure the blank shown in FIG. 2 about a package group as depicted generally in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the end panels 18 and 19 are interrelated with the sloping panels 23 and 24 by suitable web structure designated generally in the drawings by the numerals 35, 36, 37 and 38.
  • each side wall is foldably joined along its ends to a tucker panel designated in the drawings by the numerals 39, 4t), 41 and 42. Since all of the tucker panels are interrelated with their end panels along fold lines and since they are all related with their adjacent web panels along fold lines, it is deemed unnecessary to describe each tucker panel and its web structure in detail.
  • the end panels 18 and 19 are disposed in a vertical relation and the tucker panel 40 is disposed flat along side the side panel 27 while the tucker panel 41 is disposed fiat against the inside surface of the side panel 29.
  • Web structures 36 and 37 are collapsed and disposed adjacent the sloping top panels 23 and 24, respectively.
  • the end panel 18 is also vertical and that the tucker panels and web structrue at that end of the carrier blank are arranged in a manner identical to the arrangement of the end panel 19 and associated panels as already described.
  • FIGS. 5 through 12, inclusive are utilized to cause the end panels 18 and 19 of the carton shown in FIGS. 2-4 to assume the vertical position while the wrapper is being formed in a manner such as is disclosed and claimed in the aforementioned Patent 2,751,- 730.
  • the lower portion of the tucking conveyor 10 moves toward the right as indicated by the arrow 45a and such lower portion is referred to herein as the tucking reach of tucking conveyor 10.
  • the upper portion of tucking conveyor 10 moves toward the left as indicated by the arrow 46 and such portion is designated herein as the return reach of the tucking conveyor.
  • FIG. 6 Five blanks are depicted and are designated in the drawings as B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5. Also as depicted in FIGS. 5 and 6, the tucking conveyor 10 is provided with a plurality of tucking studs designated by the numeral 47 as well as a plurality of tucking pawls designated by the numeral 48. As can best be seen in FIGS.
  • tucking studs 47 are securely aifixed to the tucking conveyor 10 by virtue of the fact that each tucking stud is formed integrally with a base plate 49 which is affixed by the pins 50 and 51 as an integral part of the tucking'conveyor 10.
  • the tucking pawls 48 are pivotably mounted on pins 52 which form an integral part of tucking conveyor 10. From FIGS. 11 and 12 it is apparent that the tucking pawls 48 are provided with cam followers 53 and with abutment stops 54 and 55, these abutments 54 and 55 being securely affixed by pins 56 and 57 to the tucking conveyor 10.
  • each tucking pawl 48 may swing in a counterclockwise direction about its pivot 52 until it engages the abutment 55 and that it may swing approximately away from engagement with the abutment 55 into engagement with the abutment stop 54. Movement of tucking pawls 48 is conrolled by suitable cam means which engages the cam follower 53 as will be explained.
  • the blank of FIG. 2 is arranged transverse to the bottle groups 6 in such a way that the end panel 18 is toward the right and hence constitutes the leading end panel and the end panel 19 is toward the left and hence constitutes the trailing end panel.
  • blank B1 is not engaged by the tucking stud 47 or the tucking pawl 48.
  • the tucking stud 47 has engaged tucker panel 42 and has moved that panel downwardly into an angular relation to the top panel 22.
  • the tucking pawl is manipulated in a suitable fashion according to the invention and like tucking stud 47 initiates a downward pressure on trailing tucker panel 41 tending to fold the trailing end panel 19 into the vertical position when the carton blank occupies the positions B2, B3, B4 and B5.
  • tucking stud passes under sprocket 11 it tends to swing counterclockwise about its pivot 52 due to its weight distribution.
  • a cam 58 is provided for engagement by cam followers 53.
  • cam followers 53 As each cam follower 53 rides up and over cam 59, the tucking pawl swings clockwise due to cam 58 until the pawl is in the vertical position.
  • the cam 60 is adjustably mounted by slots 60A and 60B and bolts 60C and 60D to boom 7.
  • an inside guide 62 engages the tucker panels 48 and 41 while an outside guide 63 rides along the outer surface of the side wall panels :27 and 29.
  • outside guide 63 sweeps the associated carton side wall downwardly the inside guide brushes the tucker panels on the trailing edge of the carton blank into snug engagement with the associated carton side wall.
  • a folding element 15C is aiiixed to and rotatable with the sprocket 15A driven by chain 1533.
  • the carton formed from the blank depicted in FIG. 2 affords advertising space in the form of end panels 18 and 19. Furthermore, it will be understood that the end panels 18 and 19 afford additional article retaining means which can hold the packaged articles securely within the wrapper even though the primary packages may be characterized by low mechanical strength. Furthermore, it is apparent that these purposes have been accomplished without materially diminishing the speed or general proficiency of a machine such as is disclosed in US. Patent 2,751,730.
