Definitions

  • the machine has an infeed opening to an erection chamber over which is disposed the blank, carrying articles.
  • a vertically movable vacuum assembly or elevator in the chamber is movable from an upper position past a plurality of surrounding forming rods and abutments to a lower position so as to cause the front, side and rear wall forming panels of the blank to be erected partially.
  • the semi-erected blank is then moved toward the rear of the machine along a horizontal path past other folding members to fold top and side wall-forming panels downwardly.
  • the partially erected box is then received by a carriage and moved laterally in the same horizontal plane toward an elongate compression section, during which movement the front-forming flap, also known as a corner-joining flap, is folded to complete assembly or erection of the box.
  • the completed box is pushed forwardly into the compression section for ejection through a discharge chute at the front end of the machine.
  • Several completed packages are accumulated in the compression section and when the machine is operating one box is discharged or ejected from the chute as a completed box is pushed forward from the lateral carriage path.
  • the rearward, lateral and forward movements of the partially and completely erected box are along a U-shaped path lying in a single horizontal plane.
  • the discharge chute is provided with inwardly pressing side plates to firmly hold the side flaps against the side panels during the setting of the glue.
  • This invention relates to automatic packaging machinery for erecting a paperboard box from a one-piece blank carrying articles which are to be packaged in the box, and particularly, relates to improvements in such packaging machinery by means of which important efficiency advantages are realized.
  • an automatic packaging machine for erecting paperboard boxes from a one-piece blank.
  • Said packaging machine employs a vertical drying chamber in which the glued boxes are stacked before discharge.
  • the chamber is vertically oriented so as to enable the applied glue to set and adhere before the package is discharged from the machine.
  • the sealed box is then discharged at about floor level.
  • the machine was inconvenient to operate since it was loaded at a waist-high level, but the boxes were discharged at a floor level.
  • the orientation of the drying chamber added to the size of the machine and necessitated five movements with five associated mechanisms to erect the box.
  • an automatic packaging machine for erecting a paperboard box from a one-piece blank carrying the articles which requires only four distinct movements of the blank so as to erect the box in a single cycle of operation of the machine. Three of the four movements of the blank take place in a single plane along a horizontally oriented U-shaped path, which enables the completed package to be discharged at an elevated and hence, a more convenient and accessible level. Moreover, the vertically oriented drying chamber is eliminated.
  • the cycle of operation commences with the bottom-forming panel of a paperboard blank located over an infeed opening in the top of the machine with the goods to be packaged set on said panel.
  • a vertically movable vacuum assembly or elevator engages the bottom surface of the blank and draws it downwardly into the machine past a plurality of rods and abutments which act as folding members; if the goods are sufficiently heavy the elevator need not have a vacuum assembly associated therewith since the weight of the goods will keep the bottom panel of the blank in engagement with the elevator surface as the elevator descends into the erection chamber.
  • the side, front and back panels which are interconnected to the bottom panel of the box are erected about the goods.
  • the semierected box is then pushed along the rearward leg of the U- shaped path during which movement glue is applied to various surfaces and the top panel is folded downwardly into a horizontal position; secured to the top panel are flap members which are also folded downwardly into contact with the glued surfaces.
  • the almost completely folded box is then received in a carriage for lateral movement along the back leg of the U- shaped path.
  • the laterally movable carriage can engage the side panels of the container so as to hold them firmly while the glue sets.
  • the discharge chute or compression section is sufficiently long to accommodate several completed boxes concurrently.
  • the most recently completed box When the most recently completed box is pushed into the chute, it automatically pushes forwardly on the remaining boxes and causes the completed box at the discharge opening to be discharged from the front end of the chute.
  • This box is discharged at the same level as the U-shaped path which is normally about one box height below the top or loading surface of the machine or about 18 inches above the floor.
  • Side compression plates which engage the side panels of the container can be provided; the plates include a thick sponge rubber section and are provided on their inner surfaces with a high-density polyethylene facing.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the packaging machine embodying the invention showing the inner mechanisms of the machine;
  • FIG. la is a perspective view of the machine with a onepiece paperboard blank shown in phantom and the path of movement shown diagrammatically;
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary view showing the carriage and its drive mechanism
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary top view of the discharge system showing an arrangement for adjusting the width of the discharge chute support rails;
  • FIG. 4 shows a trip lever for controlling the flow of glue to a glue discharge nozzle during the lateral movement of the semierected box along the lateral leg of the U-shaped path;
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the carriage arms for receiving and laterally moving the box and the associated drive means
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary view of the erection chamber with the vacuum assembly shown in its lower position and also depicting the folding members and the arrangement for adjusting the width of the chamber;
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the top of the machine depicting the infeed opening, carriage drive means, and discharge chute;
  • FIG. 8 is a fragmentary perspective view showing a blank carrying the articles to be packaged at a point in its downward movement into the erection chamber;
  • FIG. 9 is a plan view of a blank for erection into a shipping container of different size
  • FIG. 10 is a perspective view of said container, partially erected, with the top still open.
  • FIG. 11 is a sectional view showing a plurality of small packages in the completed shipping container.
  • FIG. la the operating components of machine 10 embodying the invention are enclosed within a cabinet 12 which is formed by various panels mounted to a support frame 14.
  • the machine 10 is fed sequentially, either manually or automatically, a paperboard blank which is moved through the machine along a path on which it is subjected to folding and gluing operations in a predetermined sequence.
  • the path of movement of a blank during a single cycle of operation is comprised of four principal segments of movement effected seriatim in order to form the box.
  • the first segment of movement is the downward movement denoted by the path segment 1; the second is a rearward movement shown as path segment 2; the third is laterally along path segment 3; and the fourth is the forward discharge movement along path segment 4.
  • path segment 1 The first segment of movement is the downward movement denoted by the path segment 1; the second is a rearward movement shown as path segment 2; the third is laterally along path segment 3; and the fourth is the forward discharge movement along path segment 4.
  • FIG. 9 a one-piece paperboard blank 200 suitable for use with the machine 10 is shown.
  • the blank 200 provides certain walls and flaps for the completed package.
  • the blank is cut, creased, and scored to provide panels and flap members which will provide such walls and flaps for the package.
  • the same characters of indicia will be used for the blank segments and package walls and flaps in the interests of clarity.
  • the blank has a bottom wall-forming panel 201 connected with a wall-forming front panel 202, a back wall-forming panel 204 and two side wall-forming panels 206 and 208.
  • Side flaps 210 and 212 are interconnected with the front panel 202 and flaps 214 and 216 are similarly connected to back panel 204.
  • a top wall-forming panel 218 is connected to the back panel 204.
  • Side panels 220 and 222 and the front or manufacturer s joint" flap 224 are associated with the top panel 218.
  • the blank 200 is placed on the top or loading surface of the machine with bottom panel 201 aligned with the opening 18.
  • the articles to be packaged are placed on the bottom panel or the blank 200 may be loaded on the machine already carrying the articles 15.
  • the blank and articles are ready to be moved down into the erection chamber designated 20.
  • a control panel 22 is mounted to the front of the machine having control members for initiating specific operations of the cycle.
  • the loaded blank is moved downwardly into the erection chamber by a vertically movable vacuum assembly or elevator 24.
  • a vacuum system is normally employed with the elevator so as to grasp the bottom panel of the blank; however, if the articles to be packaged are sufficiently heavy to maintain the bottom panel in engagement with the elevator during its downward movement, the vacuum system need not be activated or even present. In the description hereinafter, a vacuum system will be described but it will be understood that it need not be employed in all instances.
  • the vacuum assembly 24 includes a pair of horizontally oriented rearwardly projecting arms 26 on each of which is mounted a pair of suction heads 28. As seen in FIG. 6, the arms 26 are mounted to a cross member 30 which is secured to a pair of vertically movable chains 32 for moving the suction heads vertically.
  • a pair of guide bushings 34 which slide vertically on the fixed shafts 36.
  • the chains 32 are driven by a sprocket 38 which is mounted to the driven shaft 40.
  • a conventional vacuum source is provided in communication with the suction heads which can be activated and de-activated selectively either automatically or manually.
  • the suction heads are moved to their elevated position, at which time the vacuum is actuated.
  • the shaft 40 is then driven so as to rotate the chains 32 in a clockwise direction thereby moving the cross member 30, arms 26 and suction heads 29 downwardly.
  • the assembly is lowered to a position at thebottom of the chamber 20, at which time the drive system is stopped or disengaged manually or by appropriate limit switches, which need not be illustrated insofar as this invention is concerned.
  • a plurality of folding members is provided in the upper portion of the erection chamber 20 and surrounding the vacuum assembly.
  • these various folding members fold the front and the back panels 202 and 204 as well as the side panels 206 and 208 and flaps 210, 212, 214 and 216 into a vertical position.
  • a set of horizontally disposed rods 44 are provided for vertically folding the back panel 204; the front panel 202 is erected by the vertically extending guides 45; the side panels are erected by the horizontally disposed rods 58.
  • An arrangement 46 which includes a coupling member 47 and a pair of oppositely threaded shafts 50 and 52 is used to adjust the lateral dimension of the erection chamber.
  • the threaded shafts engage the side supports 54 and 56 so that as the shaft 48, which is coupled to shaft 50, is rotated the members 54 and 56 are caused to move inwardly or outwardly.
  • the lateral dimension of the infeed opening is also controlled.
  • the width of the infeed opening is controlled to accommodate various width boxes.
  • the arrangement 46a is synchronized in its movement with the arrangement 46 by virtue of a sprocket and chain arrangement (not shown). For every rotation of the arrangement 46, there is a like rotation for the arrangement 46a.
  • the front panel 202 is folded upwardly by the vertical guides 45 and the side panels 206 and 208 hingedly connected with the bottom panels are folded into their vertical position by the rods 58 and the rear panel by the rods 44.
  • FIG. 8 a blank having several bottles 15 disposed thereon is shown in a position intermediate the bottom and top of the vacuum assembly movement. From this it can be seen that the front panel 202 is folded upwardly and the rear panel 204 is also being folded upwardly. The side flaps 212 and 216 are folded into their vertical position and side panel 208 is folded vertically and over the flaps 212 and 216. Thus, when the vacuum assembly reaches the lower position, all panels except the top panel 218, its interconnected side panels 220 and 222 and the manufacturer's joint or front flap 224 will have been erected.
  • the suction heads 28 are positioned below a plurality of parallel, horizontal and rearwardly disposed rails 82 so that the bottom panel 201 of the partially erected box rests on the top surface of the rails 82. At this point, the vacuum to the suction heads 28 is de-activated automatically, and the partially erected box is prepared for its rearward movement.
  • a pair of upstanding arms 84 which engage the front panel 202 of the partially erected box, are mounted to a horizontally disposed support member 86 which moves along the horizontal shafts 88. These shafts are held in place by the shaft support blocks 90, a pair of which is provided on each shaft.
  • the support cross member 86 is also secured to a driving chain 92. As the chain is driven, the cross member 86 and upstanding arms 84 are moved either forwardly or rearwardly. After the partially erected box is positioned on the rails 82, the upstanding arms 84 engage the front panel 202 when the drive mechanism is actuated to push the box rearwardly toward the path segment 3.
  • the arms 84 move in the rearwardly extending slots defined by the rails.
  • the top and side panels engage the folding members 94 and 44 which fold the top panel into a horizontal position.
  • the plow or folding members 96 then fold the side panels 220 and 222 downwardly and into a vertical position.
  • a pair of glue guns or glue dispensers are actuated (by means to be described subsequently) to apply adhesive or glue to the upper and lower outer surfaces of the side flaps 210, 212, 214, and 216.
  • panel 220 As the panel 220 is folded downwardly and into contact with the flaps 210 and 214, it contacts and adheres to those flaps.
  • panel 206 When panel 206 is folded upwardly and held against flaps 210 and 214, it is secured thereto.
  • Panels 208 and 222 are glued in the same manner as panels 206 and 220.
  • Means are similarly provided for de-actuating the glue guns when the front panel 202 of the box passes the location thereof.
  • the upstanding arms 84 continue to push the partially erected box rearwardly until the box is received by a carriage mechanism 97 generally,
  • the rearward drive mechanism is disengaged when the box is completely in the path for lateral movement and has been received by the carriage 97.
  • the arms 84 do not travel into the lateral path of movement.
  • the bottom panel slides from rails 82 onto a support surface 98, seen in FIG. 5 as the box is received by the carriage 97.
  • top panel 218 and side panels 220 and 222 are folded as glue is being applied at an upper and lower position to the vertically disposed side flaps 212 and 216 and the corresponding flaps on the opposed side.
  • side panel 222 is folded downwardly, it contacts the glued surfaces, adheres thereto and forms a sealed joint.
  • the panels 208 and 206 do not remain in the vertical position but spring outwardly from the box at an angle of about 45, to provide clearance for glue heads which will apply glue on flaps 210, 214, 212, and 216.
  • glue is applied to both lower and upper portions of the side flaps.
  • the lower side panels 206 and 208 are rotated upwardly and into contact with the lower glued surfaces. At this point all the side panels and flaps are in contact at glued surfaces.

  • the carriage support plate 104 is mounted to the lower side of chain 118 for movement with the chain along the shafts 108.
  • the lateral drive means is actuated causing the chain 118 to rotate in a clockwise manner thereby moving the carriage 97 from its receiving position toward the discharge chute.
  • the carriage arms 100 which engage the sides of the partially erected box have a lateral opening adjusted to hold loosely the sides of the box.
  • the front flap 224 is folded downwardly into a vertical position by plow means (not shown).
  • the top panel 218 and leading edge 226 actuates a glue dispenser 121 by moving the depending lever 122 upwardly thereby actuating a valve mechanism within the housing 124 to allow glue to fiow to a nozzle. (See FIG. 4).
  • the lever 122 is maintained in its upward position until the trailing edge 228 of the top panel 218 passes its position; then the lever 122 returns to its downward nonactuating position.
  • the glue applicator is actuated, a line of glue is applied to the under portion of the front flap 224 so that when it is folded against the front panel 202 the box will be sealed.
  • a bottom lead edge actuated lever can be used interchangeably with the lever shown; or both can be used.
  • a pair of upstanding arms 123 move forward from their rearward receiving position and engage the back panel 204 of the box. The arms then push the box forwardly out of engagement with the carriage arms off support surface 98, and into the discharge chute which forms path 4.
  • the operation of the arms 123 is quite similar to the operation of the arms 84 in that they are slidably mounted to a pair of shafts and may be moved forwardly and rearwardly by the action of a chain drive.
  • the surface 98 is provided with a pair of slots through which the arms 123 move back and forth. The travel of the arms 123 is from the rear edge of the support surface 98 and to a point just forward of that surface.

  • Side plates 126 which have a sponge rubber section and a high-density polyethylene facing 173 are provided for pressing the side panels inwardly so that the glue will adhere the panels to the side flaps thereby completely sealing the box.
  • An adjusting arrangement 127 similar to the arrangement 46 and 46a is provided below the path 4 to control the lateral dimension of the discharge chute by moving the runners 125 and/or plates 126 inwardly and outwardly.
  • An upper guide member 128 is also provided to prevent cocking or misalignment of the box.
  • the pusher arms 123 after completing their excusion, are returned to their rearward receiving position to disengage the next box from the carriage.
  • the box 130 is discharged at an elevated level above the floor, namely about l8 inches. This is quite advantageous since it readily lends itself to a conveyor system for removing the box from the chute or manually removing the box. In the conveyor system, a slight downward slope to the conveyor will permit gravity to cause the box to move therealong.
  • a blank is drawn downwardly into the erection chamber by the vacuum assembly.
  • the vacuum is then released and a pair of upstanding arms push the semi-erected box rearwardly along path 2 to fold the top and side panels thereof.
