Definitions
- the method employs a label-bearing closure strip made of sheet plastic weakened transversely at intervals to facilitate its being divided progressively into a sequence of individual closures each of which is applicable to the tubular netting to close the same wherever the latter is bunched compactly in rope form.
- Alternate closures (even numbered) have card- 1 3,732,62 51 May 15,1973
- Odd numbered closures carry no labels.
- the bag forming starts with the operator withdrawing a section of the tubular netting downwardly, bunching a lower end portion of this in rope form and closing it by applying closure number 1 thereto.
- a quantity of loose product suitable for net bagging is now introduced through the hollow mandrel into said closed bottom section of the tubular netting, and this section, so loaded, is spun in the hands to twist and bunch the netting in rope form for several inches just above the product. While so bunched, this portion of the tubular netting has applied thereto in rapid succession, and at points vertically spaced about two and one-half inches, closures numbers 2 and 3.
- closure number 2 The first netting bag formed and closed by the method is labelled by closure number 2 which also closes the top of the bag.
- the method continues in like manner to divide the entire tubular netting into individual netting bags filled with loose product and closed at their bottoms by odd numbered non-label-bearing closures taken from said strip and at their tops by even numbered label-bearing closures.
- FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of the upper end portion of a netting bag formed, filled, and labelled by the method of the invention.
- the method of the invention being keyed to the novel characteristics of a plastic label-bearing closure strip it) shown in FIG. 1, a description of the latter will precede a detailed outline of the method.
- the strip 10 is weakened along transverse lines 11 at regular intervals to divide the same into individual closures 12, each of which has an edge opening 13 which communicates through a narrow slot 14 with a cruciform interior aperture 15.
- the aperture is so shaped to form a pair of sharp jaws 16 on opposite sides of the narrow slot 14, and sharp tongues A, B and C, the points of which converge toward the center of the aperture and which cooperate with said jaws in engaging the openings in tubular netting trapped in said aperture so as to be very effective in resisting the slipping of said netting through said aperture.
- Corners 17 of the closure 12 are beveled to provide notches centered on the transverse lines on which strip 10 is weakened. These notches are servicable in a do sure applicator to halt the rest of the strip 10 from forward movement while the foremost closure in the strip is separated therefrom by pulling forward on a section of bunched tubular netting after this has been introduced into the aperture 15 of the foremost closure in the strip.
- Alternate closures 12 of the strip 10 have cardboard labels 18 secured to said closures by spots of glue 19 while the other closures of the strip are non-labelbearing.
- the first six closures of the strip 10 are separately identified by numerals l to 6 inclusive and it will be noted that each of the even numbered closures is provided with a label while the odd numbered closures bear no labels. The first of the odd numbered closures is thus referred to hereinafter as Closure No. 1.
- the other apparatus employed in performing the method of the invention includes a vertical hollow mandrel 25 having a product receiving hopper 26 at its upper end and an external annular flange 27 at its lower end.
- the mandrel 25 serves as a storage magazine for a considerable length 28 of tubular netting which is telescoped in bellows fashion on the mandrel after being pulled over the flange 27.
- the lower end of the stored length 28 of tubular netting is fed under an O- ring 29 and then pulled downwardly around the flange 27 as needed in the formation of bags.
- the tubular netting 23 is preferably formed of plastic but tubular nets made of spun cotton or other fibers are also suitable for use in performing the method of this invention.
- the efficiency of the method of the invention is enhanced by utilizing in its performance a conventional label-bearing closure strip applicator 30 which is only fragmentarily shown in FIG. 5 and which may consist of any of several types of applicators available on the market which are particularly designed for feeding a plastic closure strip in which every closure in the strip has a label glued thereon, these applicators and said label carrying closure strip being primarily provided for applying closures only to the open upper ends of conventional sheet polyethylene bags.
- such equipment is employed to feed the novel label-bearing closure strip 10 shown in FIG.
- this strip in which alternate closures only are provided with cardboard labels, and this strip is adapted exclusively for use in forming, filling, closing and labelling tubular bags preferably formed of tubular netting, this strip 10 providing alternately a plain unencumbered closure for closing the bottom end of a bag being formed from a section of said tubular netting and a label carrying closure for the top end of said bag.
- one of the bunched netting guide blades 31 provided for guiding a bunched rope like mass of bag netting into the applicator for applying a closure thereto, has formed in it a slot 32, across which a razor blade 33 is secured by screws 34 thus providing a facility for rapidly severing such a bunched rope like mass of netting at the precise station where and when this is required in the performance of the method of the invention.
- the closure applicator 30, a modified front portion of which is shown in FIG. 5, is a regular product being manufactured and sold by Kwik Lok Corporation of Yakima, Washington.
- the applicator 30 is covered by a U.S. Patent application Ser. No. 108,401 filed Feb.
- the applicator 30 also has a rocker 35 which rocks about a transverse axis between a downwardly inclined position as shown in this view in which the foremost closure 12 of the strip being fed through the applicator 30 is held pointed downwardly by said rocker pending the machine being set in operation by manually feeding a rope of bunched bag netting between the guide plates 31 so as to contact a trigger 40 which initiates a power cycle of operation of the applicator 30 to swing the rocker 35 upwardly thereby applying the foremost closure 12 to the bunched material held inwardly against the trigger 40.
- the applicator 30 automatically halts with the rocker 35 thus raised bringing the foremost closure 12 to level position.
- the method of the invention involves the repetitious performance of a series of like operations following the performance of a somewhat unique pilot operation.
- the labelbearing closure strip 10 Prior to performing the pilot operation the labelbearing closure strip 10, as shown in FIG. 1, is fed into the applicator 30 so that Closure No. 1 is fed into the rocker 35 and bent downwardly, as shown in FIG. 5, in readiness to be applied to the lower end of the tubular netting 28.
- the method now starts with the pilot operation in which a section 42 of the tubular netting 28 is pulled downwardly from the lower end of mandrel 25 until this section is long enough so that when its lower end is bunched together into rope like form it can be fed into the front end of applicator 30 causing Closure No. l of strip 10 to be applied to the lower end of section 42 so as to close the same as shown in FIG. 2.
- the next step in the method is to introduce a quantity ofloose product 43 (such as onions) into the hopper 26 and then extend the section 42 as shown in FIG. 3 so as to have ample material available when seizing the product filled lower end of section 42 and rotating the same to twist a portion of this section extending upwardly from the upper end of the product for five or six inches and then while this portion of section 42 is in rope like form as indicated at 44 in FIG. 4, the operator feeds this rope 44 into the applicator 30 to apply Closure No. 2 thereto just above the product 43 in the bag 45. Following this, the bag 45 is lowered to present the rope 44 again to the applicator 30 at a point about two and one-halfinches above Closure No. 2 where Closure No.
- Closure No. 3 to the rope 44 as shown in FIG. 4 is much easier to perform than was the application of Closure No. l to the lower end of tubular netting section 42 and the balance of the method of converting the entire stored length of tubular netting 28 into bags 45 is accomplished merely by delivering loose product 43 into the hopper 26, after each individual operation of forming, filling, closing and labelling a bag 45, and then twisting the tubular netting above this new charge of loose product and applying the next pair of label-bearing and non-label-bearing closures 12 to the netting rope thus formed and severing said rope between said closures in the same manner as shown in FIG. 4 and above described.
- the method of the present invention is operative to consume the entire length of tubular netting 28 in the forming, filling, closing and labelling tubular netting bags 45 in each of which loose product 43 is packaged.
- the bunched netting 48 allowed to extend upwardly from each bag 45 provides a handle for the bag.
- closure arranging step embraces weakening transversely at intervals a strip of flat sheet plastic to form from the strip a series of integral plastic bag closures successively divisible from said strip as required in performing said method
