  • S 6 reclprocatmg transversely d1sposed seal and cutter bar which f 5 6/3 4 x divides the web, at longitudinally spaced intervals, to produce 87 6/1969 wmlams 1 56/353 X individual bagsf
  • the bags are then transported to a table which 3'494526 2/1970 Calvert et "226/142 x is provided with devices for arranging the bags into a stack.
  • a web or film unwind stand is provided with the ability to maintain a fixed relationship with the infeed frame of the bag machine for purposes of insuring accurate alignment of the stand with the bag machine. Such acondition is necessary to insure proper tracking of the film through the bag machine and to prevent the creation of wrinkles in the web.
  • the unwind stand is supplied with a roll of film whose width determines the depth of the bag to be produced. It is conventional practice to train the web over a V-shaped folding board, hereinafter sometimes referred to as a V-board or folding board, which constrains the web to fold upon itself before being received by draw rolls mounted on the infeed frame of the bag machine.
  • the unwind stand must be positioned so that the axis of the parent roll of stock is exactly or substantially exactly parallel to the longitudinal median of the bag machine. Stated another way the longitudinal median of the film must unwind so that it defines an angle of 90 to the path the folded film takes through the bag machine.
  • the present invention provides a very rigid locating frame connected to the infeed frame of the bag machine.
  • the locating frame is provided with a member establishing a guideway or rail which is engaged by roller guides carried by the V-board and the base frame of the unwind stand.
  • Such construction allows movement of the unwind stand normal to the longitudinal median of the bag machine and thus insures that the above'described relationship is maintained irrespective of the width of the film or whether the machine is used as a double lane machine.
  • Another equally important feature of the present invention is the provision of a gusseting mechanism which makes a gusset of constant depth, is rapidly adjustable to change the depth of the gusset and is movable transversely in the event it is desired to change the path of the film relative to the longitudinal median of the bag machine.
  • the gusseter be mounted at a place where the speed of the web is substantially constant so as to obviate the problems of uneven gusset depth due to film bounce.
  • the gusseter of the present invention is mounted between the folding board and the infeed frame of the bag machine.
  • the construction of the gusseting attachment is designed so that an operator can rapidly and easily adjust the gusseter to produce gussets of a wide range of depth and it also has the ability to reduce, to an absolute minimum, drag imposed on the film thereby reducing the nip pressure of the web feeding rolls.
  • the gusseter is also designed to facilitate threading of a new roll of film into the machine. This is desirably accomplished by moving the gusset forming wheel out of contact with the film.
  • the film feeding draw rolls which assist in feeding the film from the parent roll, are arranged so that the nip pressure applied to the film can be easily varied and if desired a differential nip pressure can be produced if desired.
  • the preferred construction giving rise to this result comprises pneumatic cylinders or jacks arranged to apply a force to each end of the upper draw roll and the pressure to each cylinder can be equal, unequal or interrupted thereby removing all nip pressure. Removal of the nip pressure is usually desirable when the bag machine is stopped and this can be accomplished manually or automatically, as desired, thus preventing the creation of flat spots on the film.
  • an improved seal bar and drive which produces, respectively, a uniform temperature throughout its length without distortion or excessive conductive heat losses and a drive which is arranged so that the seal bar can be manually or automatically lifted from its operative position as desired.
  • Automatic lifting of the seal bar is particularly advantageous when the bag machine is programmed for a jogging mode or when the machine is stopped for any reason.
  • the seal bar drive is also provided with the ability for partial or full lift in such situations where the machine is set up for skip-draw utilized where extra wide bags are desired. It is also automatically lifted when the bag machine is set to interrupt its operation after a predetermined number of bags have been produced.
  • a further and equally important feature of this invention is the provision of mechanisms to vary the length of a bag being produced while the machine is operating so that the desired size of bag can be accurately determined under operating conditions without interruption of web development. While this feature is conventional in presently available commercial bag machines, this invention discloses an improvement wherein more reliable and trouble free operation results.
  • the present design fulfills this goal by incorporating rigid thermoplastic blocks which are selectively engageable with a moving metal member and thereby effectively absorbs the impact without damage to the operating parts. Further by this arrangement metal chips are not generated which could interfere with the operation of the bag machine.
  • Still another feature of this invention is the provision of means for controlling the speed of the bag transporting conveyor to effect separation of the bags downstream of the seal bar so as to prevent contact between the seals of adjacent bags and thus avoid possible sticking.
  • the bag machine of this invention makes use, therefor, of a conventional bag slow down device which momentarily grasps the trailing end of the bag prior to its encountering the bag stacking fences.
  • the present invention provides a direct current drive motor for the bag transporting conveyor which can be accurately adjusted to synchronize its speed with the slow down device.

  • FIG. 22 is an enlarged plan of the seal bar adjustment indicator.
  • the bag machine of the present invention is generally indicated by the numeral 20 and it comprises an unwind stand 22 (FIG. 2A) rotatably supporting core shafts 24 which in turn support film rolls 26.
  • the web, designated by the letter W, unwound from the roll 26 is folded along a line parallel to its ends by a folding board or a V-board 28.
  • the fold line is located at the longitudinal median of the web while the fold line for lipped bags is spaced from and parallel to the longitudinal median.
  • FIG. 2A shows the V-board set up for producing lipped bags since the left hand margin of the web, identified by L. I'I., is laterally spaced from the right hand margin R. H. downstream from the V- board 28.
  • the web then comes under the influence of a gusseting mechanism 30 which forms an inwardly directed fold on that portion of the web which defines the bottom of the completed bag.
  • the fold is shown by a dotted line in FIG. 2A and is identified by numeral 32.
  • the gusseting mechanism 30 is mounted on support arms 34 pivotally connected to a transverse rod 36 mounted to and extending between laterally spaced infeed frame members 38.
  • a roller 40 which directs the web between a first set of infeed rolls of 42 connected to conventional nip pressure regulating means 43.
  • the web is thence trained about a plurality of idler rollers 44, mounted on dancer arms 46, and rollers 48 extending between and rotatably mounted on the infeed frame members 38.
  • the length of web accumulated in the path defined by the rollers 44 and 48 serves to provide a temporary supply which automatically increases or decreases in response to transient values of web tension. This arrangement tends to produce a constant value of web tension.
  • the bag machine frame comprises a base plate 50 having mounted thereon transversely spaced upwardly projecting side frame members 52 located substantially at the mid portion of the machine. At the discharge end, outfeed frame members 54 are also mounted on the base plate 50 and served to support bag discharge control devices explained in detail hereinafter.
  • a horizontal accessory platform 56 is connected therebetween and it serves to support hole punching assemblies 58 mounted on a base plate 60.
  • the base plate 60 is mounted on a rectangular frame 62 and is transversely adjustable on this frame. It is held in a selected transverse position by a lock screw 64. Longitudinal adjustment of the rectangular frame 62 carrying the hole punch assemblies 58 is accomplished by racks 66 and pinions 68. As shown diagrammatically in FIG.
  • the racks 66 are fixed to the inner surfaces of the side rails 56 while the pinions 68 are keyed to a transversely extending shaft 70 rotatably mounted in the rectangular frame 62.
  • a knob 72 is keyed for rotating the shaft 70 and consequently adjusting the longitudinal position of the hole punching assemblies 58.
  • an electronic web registration device 72 commonly referred to as a scanner, is likewise mounted for longitudinal and transverse adjustment. Longitudinal adjustment is accomplished by pinions 74 (FIG. 1A) in mesh with the racks 66.
  • the pinions 74 are mounted on a transverse shaft 76 rotatably carried in generally L-shaped in frames 78.
  • a transverse bar 79 is secured on the upright legs of the L frames 78 .
  • Slidably mounted on the bar 79 is the scanner 72 which can be locked in any transverse position by a lock screw 80.
  • On the horizontal leg of the L frame 78 a transverse bar 82 is mounted and it will be observed, by inspection of FIG.
  • the scanner is electrically connected to the control circuit of the bag machine to deenergize the clutch and simultaneously energize the brake thereby arresting the movement of the web for a sufficient period of time to allow the transverse seal bar to operate and thereby make the side weld for two longitudinally adjacent bags. After the seal bar completes its function the control circuit is then conditioned to release the brake and engage the clutch commencing web movement.
  • the web passes between intermittently operating draw rolls 84 associated with upper and lower sets of the stripper fingers 86 and 88, respectively, detachably mounted on transverse bars 90 and 91.
  • the draw rolls are connected, as hereinafter will be more particularly described, with means, generally indicated by the numeral 92, for controlling the nip pressure the draw rolls exert on the film and for removing the nip pressure when required, either selectively or automatically.
  • a back-up roll 94 in rolling contact with the lower draw roll, is provided.
  • the backup roll 94 is rotatably mounted in a yoke 96 having a link extension 98 which forms one link of a parallel linkage mechanism 100.
  • the vertical position of the back-up roll 94 and accordingly the back-up force it will apply to the draw rolls 84 can be selected by adjusting a screw jack 102.
  • a vertically reciprocating sealing mechanism 104 cooperating with an intermittently rotating seal roll 106 for making the transverse seals in the folded web
  • seals constitute the lateral margins of the bags.
  • the seal mechanism is reciprocated by a pair of cams 108 (one of which is shown in FIG. 1B) keyed to a shaft 110. The specific construction of this arrangement will be more fully described in connection with the apparatus shown in FIG 13.
  • the index conveyor comprises a series of transversely spaced and aligned upper and lower sets of belts, 114 and 116 respectively, moving in a direction indicated by the arrows in FIG. 18. Those reaches of the belts which are traveling from left to right, as viewed in FIG. 1B, are in contact for the purpose of gripping the bags discharged from the sealing mechanism and transporting them to a stacking table 118 provided with adjustable stop plates 120 for collecting the bags in a stack.
  • the upper belts 114 of the index conveyor 112 pass around an idler shaft 122 rotatably supported on linkages 124 mounting a cam follower roller 126 which is held in engagement with a cam 128 by a spring 130.
  • the cam 128 is mounted on a shaft 132 and during operation the linkages 124 are oscillated raising and lowering the idler shaft 122 which serves the purpose ofaccommodating any over travel of the bags as they issue from the sealing and cutting mechanism 104 and thus prevent wrinkling ofthe bag.
  • FIG. 16 shows a DC motor 140 driving a belt 141 trained about a pulley 142 which is keyed to a shaft 143.

  • FIGS. 2A, 3 and 4 show the novel unwind stand of the present invention which, as mentioned above, is structurally unified with the bag machine to insure proper tracking of the web regardless of its position along a line which is normal to the longitudinal median of the bag machine.
  • the unwind stand comprises a platform 154, of generally rectangular configuration, rotatably mounting wheels 156 which allow the platform to be moved as desired.
  • the platform has mounted on its upper surface a frame structure 157 having opposed side plates 158 interconnected by parallel, laterally extending, bars 160.
  • Rollers 162, running in tracks 164 mount the frame structure 157 for lateral movement relative to the platform 154.
  • Such movement is required to maintain one edge of the film fixed with respect to a reference point so that bags of consistent dimensions are produced.
  • lateral movement on the frame -by rails 184 and structure 157 is effected by a conventional edge guide, preferably of the pneumatic hydraulic type, which controls the extension and retraction of a hydraulic cylinder 166 connected, as shown in FIG. 3, to the platform 154 by a bracket 168 and to one .of the side plates 158 by a clevis connection 170.
  • the hydraulic cylinder is extended or retracted by the edge guide sensing control (not shown) so as to keep one margin of the film located in a predetermined position with respect to the platform 154.
  • the unwind stand 22 is joined to the bag machine so that it is allowed to move in a direction transverse to the longitudinal median of the bag machine and in a direction normal thereto thus serving to position the folded web transversely to the bag machine.
  • This is particularly important where the bag machine is associated with two unwind stands which feed folded roll stock to the bag machine, which as a result, produces two bags each time the seal and cutter bar is reciprocated.
  • a guide rail 172 is rigidly connected to the infeed frame members 38 by structural members 174.

As shown on FIG. 2A the guide rail 172 extends a sufficient distance laterally of the bag machine to allow positioning of the unwind stand at any desired operating position.
  • the platform 154 can be rolled by a crank mechanism to position the unwind stand as desired. Regardless of the transverse location of the unwind stand it will always maintain its normal relationship with the longitudinal axis of the bag machine by virtue of the guide rail 172 and the rollers 178 and 182 which constrain the unwind stand to maintain its desired attitude.
  • FIGS. 5 through 10 The gusseting mechanism 30, generally referred to in the above described general arrangement, is shown in greater detail in FIGS. 5 through 10.

On the other end of the bar another clearance hole is provided having disposed therein a stud 256 also threaded into the base member 248 and provided with a knob 257. At the intermediate portion of the clamping bar 252 a set screw 258 is threaded therein, bearing on the upper surface of the bar 216, and is in forceable contact therewith when the stud 256 is tightened.
  • the gusseter wheel 210 is held in its operative position between the plates 212 and 214 by a spring 260. As shown on FIG. 9 one end of the spring 260 is attached to a hook 262 having a threaded stem threaded into the arm 232. The hook 262 is held against rotation by a jam nut 264.
  • the other end of the spring 260 is attached to a bead-chain 266 which extends beyond a catch 268 mounted on a bracket 270.
  • the catch 268 is formed with two upwardly extending fingers which fit between adjacent beads of the chain 266.
  • a ring 272 is secured which serves to facilitate grasping of the chain and consequent tensioning of the spring 260 to the degree required by the forming characteristics of the film.
  • a desired. degree of tension is achieved usually determined by observing film formation while the machine is running, the chain is inserted between the upwardly extending pins of the catch 268. Accordingly it will i be seen that by utilizing the spring 260 for urging the gusseter wheel 210 between the plates 212 and 214 the gusseter has the ability to give in the event increased resistance is encountered consequently preventing damage to the film.
  • gusseter mechanism pertains to the general configuration of the gusseter plates 212 and 214. As will be observed these plates are generally rectangular in configuration and are made arcuate at the intersection of the margins. As is known by those skilled in the art, regardless of their design, gusseting attachments wear rather rapidly even though surface preparations such as Teflon are applied to those portions of the gusset forming members which come in contact with the film.
  • the gusseting mechanism of the present invention reduces the wear to an absolute minimum, particularly on the gusseting wheel 210 since it is mounted for rotation thereby obviating or minimizing relative velocity between the gusseting wheel 210 and the film
  • the gusseting plates 212 and 214 do encounter an appreciable amount of friction and thus are subject to wear.
  • the film encountering edges of the gusseting plates 212 and 214 are identified as 2120 and 214a respectively.
  • the plates 212 and 214 are provided with an auxiliary set of mounting holes, collectively identified by the numeral 278 (see FIG. 6) which correspond to the spacing of the mounting holes containing the screws 280.
  • edges 212a and 214a are worn to the extent that the gusseting function is impaired the plates 212 and 214 are removed and are repositioned on the support bar 216 locating edges 2121: and 214b to make contact with the film and thus cooperate with the gusseting wheel 210 tov form gussets.
  • the bag machine of the present invention comprises a mechanism'for selectively varying the throw of a crank which is connected to a shaft to thereby control the amount of shaft rotation. Variation of the crank throw is accomplished while the bag machine is in operation thus allowing the operator to visually determine when the desired bag width is produced.
  • FIG. 17 shows a fragmentary portion of the side frame member 52
  • the change device comprises a ledge 286 rigidly attached to the side frame member 52 and it has extending therethrough a shaft 288 mounted for rotation in longitudinally spaced ears 290 of a plate 292 that is bolted to the side frame member 52.
  • a lever 294 On the upper end of the shaft there is attached a lever 294, provided with a knob 296, for rotating the shaft 288.
  • FIGS. 11 and 13 show this construction in greater detail.
  • a small rectangular fiat plate 298 At the lower end of the shaft 288 there is secured a small rectangular fiat plate 298 and said plate has rigidly attached thereto spaced blocks 300 and 302 preferably made of polyurethane although any suitable plastic material such as nylon can be utilized.
  • the blocks 300 and 302 are tangent to and straddle the orbit of a star wheel 306 keyed, or otherwise suitably attached, to a screw 308.
  • a block 310 is slidably mounted in a guide way 312 formed with a conventional dove tail slot.
  • the screw 308 is fixed against axial movement relative to the guideway 312 by having pinned thereon a collar 314 bearing against an end stop or plate 316.
  • a projecting stub shaft or crank pin 320 is provided, on which is rotatably mounted, one end of a crank 322 while the other end of the crank is rotatably mounted on a pin 324 (FIG. 16) integral with a sector gear 326 mounted for oscillation on a trunion 328 which is in turn secured to the side frame member 52.
  • the guideway 312 is bolted to a support plate or platform 330 that is bolted to a coupling 332 having a reduced diameter portion located in a bearing 334 carried by one of the side frame members 52.
  • the coupling 332 is keyed to the shaft 110 and accordingly rotates therewith.
  • a scale 336 calibrated to indicate bag width, is secured to the guideway 312 and on the slide 310 a pointer 338 is mounted and it indicates the bag width setting.
  • the axis of the crank pin 320 defines an extension of the axis of shaft 1 the crank 322 is not oscillated thus the sector gear 326 will remain stationary. It will be evident therefore that the distance between the axis of the crank pin 320 and the axis of the shaft 110 will determine the angle of oscillation of the sector gear 326.
  • Rotation of the star wheel 306 rotates the screw 308 causing downward movement of the slider block 310 thereby increasing the distance between the axis of the pin 320 and the axis of the shaft 1 10. It should be apparent that if the lever 294 is held in this position the slider block 310 will be incrementally lowered each time the star wheel 306 engages the block 302. Conversely decreases in the distance between the axis of the pin 320 and the axis of the shaft 110 is accomplished by moving the lever 294 in the opposite direction causing the block 300 to engage the star wheel 306 thus rotating the screw 308 in the opposite direction which causes raising of the slider block 310.
  • a seal bar 340 extends downwardly from and is mounted to a beam 342 by thin V-shaped metal clips 344.
  • the beam 342 comprises two elongate rectangular beams 346 connected at either end by spacer blocks 348 formed with short trunions 350 which are received in mounting blocks 352 and are captively secured therein by bearing caps 354.
  • the seal bar 340 is directly above the seal roll 106 and its knife edge 355 makes contact with the seal roll.
  • the seal bar 340 is maintained in this position by a latch arrangement 356.
  • the latch 356 is connected to one of the elongate bars 346 by a spacer block 358 and a bar 360 which is joined to the spacer block 358 either by welding or bolting as desired.
  • a rod 362, slidably mounted in a hollow handle 364 and extending through an aligned hole in the bar 360, has a knob 366 mounted thereon and is biased to the left, as viewed in FIG. 14, by a spring 368 so that the left end of the rod is received and maintained in bores 370 formed in a plate 372 shaped to define a circular segment. With the pin 362 seated in the bore 370a the seal bar 340 is disposed in its operative position.
  • Actuation of the seal bar 340 toward and away from the seal roll 106 is accomplished by a novel drive mechanism generally designated by the numeral 374.
  • This mechanism enables the seal bar to be raised, manually or automatically, as desired, with automatic lifting being of particular benefit for skip draw, a predetermined count, or when the machine is stopped.
  • the push rod design explained in detail hereinafter, obviates backlash problems which are attendant with seal bar drives of the prior art.
  • the cam design of the drive mechanism is designed to facilitate adjustment of the dwell to the characteristics of all known films used to produce bags.
  • cams 108 are keyed to the shaft 110 and are in rolling engagement with cam follower rollers 376 rotatably mounted on pins 378 carried by brackets 380.
  • the brackets 380 are rigidly attached to the lower end of push rods 382 and are formed with a laterally extending lug 384 mounting an upwardly extending guide pin 386 extending through a spring 387.
  • the guide pins are slidably received in retaining caps 388 which are rigidly attached to a stationary frame member 390.
  • the frame members 390 carry tubular sleeves 392 with bearings 394 mounted at each end and interiorly thereof through which extend the push rods 382.
  • a nylon disc 396 (FIGS. 20 and 21) is attached and it makes contact with an enlarged disc shaped head 398 of a bolt 400 which is threaded through a cap 402 secured to the upper end of the mounting blocks 352.
  • the stem of the bolt 400 projects above the cap 402 and it has threaded thereon a jam nut 404 which locks the bolt 400 in place.
  • the bolt 400 can be adjusted relative to the cap 402 when the jam nut 404 is loosened by merely inserting a screw driver in the milled slot 406 and its adjusted position can be determined by aligning an index mark 408 with graduations on an annular scale 410 suitably affixed to the upper surface of the caps 402.
  • Adjustment of the bolt 400 moves the mounting blocks 352 and of course the seal bar 340, since it is connected to the mounting blocks by the trunions 350, relative to the seal roll 106 which is rotatably supported by bearings 412 to the stationary frame members 390.
  • the penetration force of the seal bar against the seal roll may therefore be accurately and easily adjusted and the adjusted position can be easily determined by observing the setting of the screws 400.
  • brackets 414 Adjacent the upper surface of the frame members 390 and rigidly fixed to the push rods 382 are brackets 414 mounting downwardly extending pneumatic cylinders 416.
  • the cylinders 416 have their rod ends threaded into ears 418 which are integral with the mounting blocks 352.
  • Conduits 420 and conduits 422 are respectively connected to the rod end and the head end of the cylinders 416, and are controlled by conventional electrically operated valves (not shown) operated by the control circuit of the bag machine. As usual, the valves operate to admit pressure fluid, from any suitable source, to the rod end or head end of the cylinders 416.
  • the bag machine of the present invention is provided with means to effect semiautomatic lifting of the seal bar when the machine is being set up and the control circuit is conditioned for jogging. Further, whenever the bag machine is stopped automatic lifting of the seal bar takes place while on starting automatic drop is effected. Automatic lifting also takes place after a predetermined number of bags have been made. Machine operation is interrupted for a period necessary to permit the operator to remove a stack of bags from the table 118. Thereafter operation is' resumed upon automatic lowering of the seal bar.
  • FIGS. 20 and 21 show, respectively, the seal bar 340 in contact with the seal roll 106 and the raised position of the seal bar.
  • the draw rolls 84 are intermittently rotated feeding the folded and gusseted web to project between the seal roll 106 and the seal bar 340.
  • the seal bar moves downwardly, by virtue of the cams 108, to produce a side weld.
  • the increment of time that the seal bar 340 remains in contact with the seal roll is determined by the amount of cam dwell which can be varied to suit the characteristics of the film or web.
  • the seal bar 340 is raised approximately five-eighths of an inch above the seal roll 106 during such times that the web is fed by the draw rolls 84.
  • the amplitude of seal bar reciprocation during normal operating conditions is determined by the cams 108.
  • the cylinders 416 are maintained in their retracted position by supplying fluid through the conduit 420 which, as will be readily observed by inspection of FIG. 20, maintains the head 398 of the bolt 400 in forcible contact with the nylon disc 396.
  • the cylinders 416 may therefore be thought of as fluid clamps and since they are mounted on brackets 414 which are in turn rigidly attached to the push rods 382 they reciprocate with the seal bar during normal operation.
  • FIG. 21 shows the seal bar in its lifted nonoperative position. It will be observed that it assumes this position by virtue of the extension of the cylinders 416 which, as is conventional, is caused by operation of a control valve that exhausts the fluid from the rod end by conduit 420 and admits pressure fluid to the head end by conduit 422. This obviously causes extension of the cylinder rod 428 which moves the mounting blocks 352 upwardly relative to the push rod 382. As explained above, automatic full or partial lift takes place when the machine is shut-down, when a predetermined number of bags have been made, or when skip draw operation is desired.
  • each of the cams 108 comprise a stationary cam portion 430 rigidly attached to an adapter plate 432 by means of bolts 434.
  • the plate 432 is secured to the cam shaft 1 10 by a taper lock bushing 436 which is in turn held against rotation relative the shaft 110 by a key 438.
  • an angular cam ring 440 is seated and it has a peripheral profile which is identical to that of the stationary cam portion 430.
  • the cam ring 440 is dimensioned so that it is free to rotate about the axis of the cam shaft 110.
  • the cam ring however can be held against rotation relative to the cam portion 430 by a spring biased pin 442 arranged to be received within any one of a plurality of circumferentially spaced holes 444 formed in the annular ring 440.
  • the cam ring 440 is adjusted so that its profile is aligned with that of the cam 430.
  • Increases in dwell time can be accomplished by manually withdrawing the pin from one of the holes in the cam 440 and rotating the cam ring to thereby extend the dwell period of the cam.
  • the seal bar drive of the present invention is also provided with the ability to adjust the push rod actuating cam to provide a dwell period which holds the seal bar 340 in contact with the seal roll 106 for that period of time required to make a good quality weld.
  • the bag machine is provided with intermittently operating air loaded draw rolls for feeding the film to the seal bar.
  • the upper draw roll is associated with fluid operated cylinders, either the hydraulic or pneumatic type, but herein preferably of the pneumatic type, which regulate the nip pressure between the rolls as required by the thickness of the film or whether gusseted or non-gusseted bags are being produced. It is apparent that when producing gusseted bags one edge of the film assumes a reverse fold resulting in four plys of film.
  • the upper feed roll of the present invention can be adjusted to assume a slightly non-parallel relation to the lower feed roll so that a substantially uniform nip pressure can be maintained along the width of the web when gusseted bags are being produced.
  • the air loaded draw rolls previously mentioned and indicated by the numeral 84, comprise an upper feed roll 446 extending transversely between the side frames 52.

  • the upper set of stripper fingers 86 are individually bolted to the generally rectangular transversely extending support bar 90 having each end rigidly attached, by brackets 476, to the end blocks 450.
  • the lower set of stripper fingers 88 are mounted on the support bar 91 which is rigidly secured by similar brackets 478 to the side frames 52.
  • Each of the cylinders have a projecting rod 490 which makes contact with the upper surface of the pins 480 while the diametrically opposed lower surface of the pins 480 are in contact with springs 492 disposed within one leg 494 of the crusiform opening 482.
  • the interaction of the cylinders 484 and the springs 492 can control the pressure between the draw rolls 446 and 454.
  • differential loading can be applied to the ends of the upper feed roll 446.
  • suitable controls conventional in the art, are provided for regulating and controlling the supply of pressure fluid to the cylinders 484.
  • the amount of nip pressure desired can obviously be regulated since the level of pressure of the actuating fluid supplied to the cylinders 484 can be easily regulated by the operator.
  • the value of pressure of the pressure fluid supplied to each of the cylinders 484 can be regulated to achieve this result and thereby constraining the upper feed roll 446 to assume a slight nonparallel relationship with the lower feed roll 454.
  • the control system can be readily energized to connect the conduits 486 to exhaust venting the cylinders 484 to atmosphere.
  • the springs 492 exert an upward force on the pins 480 rotating the end blocks 450 in a counterclockwise direction (as viewed in FIG. 14) about the pivot bolts 452.
  • the draw rolls utilized in the bag machine of the present invention can be controlled to apply a selected nip pressure and could be readily released whenever the machine is stopped. Further by being able to comply different values of pressure to the cylinders 484 the nip pressure can be substantially equalized when producing gusseted bags.
  • SLOW DOWN AND D.C. DRIVE Also in accordance with the present invention means are provided for accurately adjusting the speed of the belt conveyor 112 to insure that the bag slow down mechanism momentarily grips the trailing edge of each bag before it is discharged to the stacking table 118.
  • the particular means employed to produce the indicated result comprises course and fine adjustment potentiometers 496 and 500 respectively (FIG. 18).
  • the potentiometer 496 is located at the main control panel of the machine which is approximately in the area of the seal mechanism 104.
  • the fine adjustment potentiometer 500 is located within reach of the position the operator takes at the stacking table 118, either to observe the bags as a stack is being produced or to remove a completed stack of bags.

  • Shaft 534 drives the upper belts 114 of the belt conveyor 112 while shaft 536 drives the lower belts 116. Due to the above described organization of structure it will be seen that the DC motor 140 provides the drive for the belt conveyor 112 and the corrugating rolls 134.
  • the fine adjustment potentiometer 500 is set to its mid position while the course adjustment potentiometer is adjusted to regulate the motor 140 so that the bags issuing from the corrugating rolls 134 are gripped by the slow down 136 in the vicinity of their trailing edge. Accurate adjustment of the index conveyor 112 is then accomplished by closely observing where contact with the bags is made by the slow down 136 and adjusting the potentiometer 500, from its previously set mid position, to change the speed of the motor 140 so that the bags are momentarily gripped at the trailing end before being discharged to the stacking table 1 18.
