  • the folding belt 110 which is endless, preferably is of circular cross-section, and passes around a horizontally journaled sheave 122 at its upstream end and around a horizontally journaled sheave 124 at its downstream end. The upper run of the belt comes oil?
  • the top of the sheave 122 passes under a horizontally journaled roller 126, over a horizontally journalcd sheave 128, under a horizontally journaled roller 130, under, around and back over the sheave 124, against a vertically journaled sheave 132, and then under and around the sheave 122.
  • the sheaves 116 and 128 are disposed above the base level of the product.
  • the sheaves 120 and 132 are disposed at the base level of the product, the rollers 118 and are disposed at the base level of the product.
  • the sheaves 114 and 124 are disposed just below the base level of the product.

  • the rollers 118 and 130 are substantially in line.
  • the sheaves 114 and 124 may be fixed to a common shaft and are relatively closely spaced to converge the belts 108 and 110- at the downstream end of the system 90. As the packages proceed under the two round folding belts, the belts fold the upper layer of the film down. At this stage, the product is supported on the upper runs of the two support chains 92 and 94.
  • the film has been folded down to 90, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the lower layer of film is now pushed down by the upper layer of film and the folding belts continue to descend as they travel downstream in the machine direction until the upper surface of the folding belts are level with the base of the product.
  • the folding belts begin to converge, and the support chains end.
  • the product transfers onto the folding belts and as these belts continue to converge, the film, which has already been folded down, is now folded under the product, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the belts are staggered in their convergence so that the folding belt 108 folds its side down and under first and the belt 110 folds its side down and under subsequently, so that the two sides will overlap without interference.
  • the system 9 0 then discharges the product to the next conveyor belt 150.
  • the conveyor belt passes around two rollers 152 and 154.
  • a heating plate 156 which may be electrically powered, is disposed under the upper run of the belt 150.
  • the belt 150 may be made of suitable heat transmitting, yet heat resistant, material. As the product passes over the heated belt 150 the heat seals all of the underwrapped layers together to provide a fully sealed package. If a heat shrink package is desired the system may discharge the wrapped product to a heat shrink tunnel as previously described.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 An alternative system for providing sheet film for wrapping from a continuous film supply roll rather than from a stack of pre-cut sheets is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

  • the upper pinch roller is supported between a pair of arms 232 which are pivoted on a shaft 234 for rocking motion.
  • the lower ends of the arms 232 are coupled to the piston 236 of a solenoid valve operated air cylinder 238.
  • the upper ends of the arms 232 support a radiant heat cut-01f element 240, such as electrically powered resistance wire, such as is shown in US. Pat. 3,135,077, issued to M. Siegel et al., on June 2, 1964.
  • the pinch roller 224 is driven by a suitable drive, not shown.
  • a photocell and a photodetector 250 provide a light beam across the upper run of conveyor belt 200 slightly upstream of its downstream end.
  • a clamping pad 254 may be disposed above the web of sheet material 214 and the lower end of the arms 232 may also support a pressure pad 256 below the web in line with the pad 254.
  • the photodetector When a product interrupts the light beam, the photodetector operates a suitable relay, not shown, which actuates the solenoid valve of the cylinder 238 to cause the cylinder to release the pressure pad 256 from the web and the clamping pad 254, while concurrently pinching the web between the pinch rollers 226 and 224.
  • the pinch rollers advance the web between the wedge shaped pressurized ducts 228 and 230, which ducts are coupled to a source of positive air pressure, not shown.
  • the air flow supplied by the ducts floats and guides the web between the ducts and onto the upper run of the conveyor belt 206.
  • the relay also operates a solenoid operated valve 260 which couples the vacuum chamber 212 to a suitable source of pressure, not shown.
  • the solenoid operated valve now causes the piston 236 to extend, clamping the film between the pads 254 and256, releasing the pinch rollers 226 and 224 and bringing hot wire 240 down onto the film which is tensioned between the pads 254/ 256 and the moving belt 206, thereby cutting the web which continues to be fed by the belt 206 for wrapping around the product as described with respect to FIG. 1.
