Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for closing a valve on valved bags which are fed on a conveyor with the valved end first as seen in the feeding direction with the valve opening turned to one side, said apparatus comprising a stop adapted to be inserted into the movement path of the bags, said stop adapted, when in inserted position, to constitute an abutment for the front end of the bags at a place at some distance from the opening end of the valve so as to expose the valve opening, and a device for spraying a binding agent into the valve opening.
  • the main feature of the invention is to be seen in a carriage adapted to be moved back and forth above and parallel to the conveyor, said carriage provided with said stop and said spraying device for the binding agent and said carriage adapted to be moved with a speed in forward direction which is somewhat lower than the speed of the conveyor.
  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for closing a valve, preferably provided with a closing flap, on valve bags filled with goods, these bags being advanced with the valved end first as seen in the feeding direction and with the valve opening turned to one side.
  • the apparatus comprises a stop to be inserted into the movement path of the bags, said stop adapted, when inserted into the path, to serve as an abutment for the front end of the bags at a place at some distance from the opening end of the valve to expose the valve opening, and a device for the injection of a binding agent into the valve opening.
  • the main feature of the invention is to be seen therein that the stop and the injector for the binding agent are arranged on a carirage which is displaceable back and forth above and parallel to the conveyor, said carriage being adapted to be displaced forwardly with a speed somewhat lower than the speed of the conveyor.
  • a carirage which is displaceable back and forth above and parallel to the conveyor, said carriage being adapted to be displaced forwardly with a speed somewhat lower than the speed of the conveyor.
  • FIG. 1 shows diagrammatically from above a movement scheme for the bags on the conveyor of apparatus
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of an apparatus according to the invention with the carriage in start position
  • FIG. 3 is a similar view but with the carriage in a front end position
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are side elevation corrresponding to FIGS. 2 and 3, and
  • FIG. 6 shows on an enlarged scale a vertical section on the line VI-VI in FIG. 1.
  • the filled bags 2 are laid on a conveyor, preferably a band conveyor 1, in such a way that the opening 3 of the bag valve 4 is turned to one side (according to FIG. 1.
  • a carriage 13 is, on the stand 10 of the apparatus, displaceable back and forth above the conveyor 1 by means of a hydraulic piston and cylinder unit 11, 12.
  • the carriage 13 carries a twoarmed lever 17 which is swingable about a shaft 14 by means of an hydraulic piston and cylinder unit 15, 16 and the lower arm of the lever 17 can be moved down into the movement path of the bags 2 on the conveyor 1 and constitutes said stop 5.
  • the carriage also carries the spray gun 8 which as obvious from FIG.
  • the bags filled by means of the valve 4 are fed on the conveyor with a mutual distance of about the length of two bags.
  • a bag with its front end abuts against the lowered stop 5 and then hits the inner end of the vertical flap 6, the central portion of the bag end will be bent in somewhat and the flap is bent forwards with its free end.
  • hydraulic medium is fed into the rear end of the cylinder 12 and the piston 11 pushes the carriage 13 forwards.
  • the feeding speed of the conveyor 1 is chosen a little higher than the speed of the carriage which means that the vault formed at the front end of the bag by means of the stop 5 is enlarged and thus also the valve opening 3 is enlarged.
  • hydraulic medium is fed at the front end of the cylinder 19' which causes the lever 20 and the spray gun 8 to be swung in counter clockwise direction about the shaft 21 from the position shown with unbroken lines to the position shown by means of dash and dot lines.
  • a suitable quantity of a binding agent is sprayed out of the mouth piece 22 and into the valve opening 3 where the binding agent hits the inside of the flap 6 and/or the seat 7.
  • the spray gun 8 is of the so called hot-melt-type i.e. it is provided with a device for heating the quick-drying binding agent which is pressed through the mouthpiece as a string.
  • the carriage 13 does not have to be provided with a separate driving means. It may instead be advanced by the bag conveyed on the conveyor 1 at a compression of a return spring. The counter pressure exerted by said spring for the return of the carriage to its start position with the stop 5 pressing against the front end of the bag 2 is probably sufiicient for producing said pressing in of the central portion of this bag end to open the valve 4.
  • the lever 9 may be provided with a stamp pad for the application of a mark on the front end of the bag 2.
  • the conveyor 1 comprises a chain conveyor or two parallel running bands which between them form a longitudinal slot
  • the carriage 13 run below the conveyor and make such an arrangement that the stop 5 acts from below into the movement path of the bags 2.
  • the denomination carriage is intended to include also a sled.
  • An apparatus for closing a valve on valved bags which are fed on a conveyor with the valved end first as seen in the feeding direction with the valve opening turned to one side, said apparatus comprising a stop adapted to be inserted into the movement path of the path of the bags, said stop adapted, when in inserted position, to constitute an abutment for the front end of the bags at a place at some distance from the opening end of the valve so as to expose the valve opening, and a device for spraying a binding agent into the valve opening, wherein the improvement comprises a carriage adapted to be moved back and forth above and parallel to the conveyor, said carriage provided with said stop and said spraying device for the binding agent and said carriage adapted to be moved with a speed in forward direction which is somewhat lower than the speed of the conveyor.
  • An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the improvement comprises an arm for closing the valve, said arm adapted to be lowered into the movement path of the bags in front of the valve.
