  • the present invention relates to a semi-automatic device for stuffing of foodstuff, especially roasts and the like, into tubular nettings and, further, it relates to the continuous gathering of the tubular netting upon the stuffing cylinder of the device.
  • the above-mentioned known devices employ a stuffing tubular element which is rigidly. connected to the direct-stuffing device or, alternately, removably connected to the device using the gathering technique.
  • the device is provided with mechanical gathering means which may be either of the continuousoperation type or of the reciprocating type.
  • These netgathering mechanical means are, in turn, provided with net-seizing jaw-like means and, due to their continuous or reciprocating movement, gather the netting about the tubular extruding element, unwinding said netting from a spool or other suitable feeding source.
  • the extruder is provided with a terminal portion thereof which is connected to the body of the extruder through a constriction wherein are located the means for aligning and holding in position the extruder tube.
  • One purpose of the present invention consists insubstituting, at least in part, the. pivots, heretofore known, with driving rolls, so that the holding and aligning operations may be coordinated directly with the auxiliary operation of unwinding of the netting, thus preventing possible jamming and rendering the overall operation of the device more regular.
  • the speed of these rolls hereinafter defined as an auxiliary unwinding rolls, is proportional to the operational speed of the netgathering means, so that the unwinding of the netting from the feed roll or spool is proportional to the drag rate of the netting by the gathering means, or, respectively, to the rate or cycle of operation of these means.
  • the auxiliary unwinding rolls further, cooperate with winding counter-rolls supported by the terminal portion of the extruding element; this cooperation facilitates even further the unwinding of the netting.
  • Another feature of the invention resides in that, when the extruding tubular element is removable, this can be supported by an external tubular sheath which brings the terminal section thereof and the constriction into engagement with the auxiliary unwinding rolls.
  • the removable, internally located tubular element has a frusto-conical opening facing in the opposite direction from the terminal section of the sheath. As the netting is being gathered on the removable tubular element, there occurs an action by the netting on this frustoconical opening such that the removable tubular element is expelled from the tubular sheath to a point where the frusto-conical opening contacts a microswitch which arrests the net-gathering action.
  • Still another feature of the invention resides in that, when the device is provided with net-gathering means which operate reciprocatingly, there are employed, in lieu of the known jaw gathering means, shoes with a cylindrical surface and capable of acting on the netting by pressure, when the carrier is moving in one direction, while disengaging completely from said netting, when the carriers moving in the opposite direction.
  • the actionof these cylindrical shoes will therefore permit the reciprocating gathering of the netting in cooperation with the displacement to-and-fro of the carrier.
  • Each shoe is supported by a pin, the axis of which is convergent with the axis of the tubular extruding element on which the netting is gathered.
  • the shoe is freely slidable on the supporting pin against the action of a spring and the converging direction of the pin coincides with the direction of displacement of the carrier when effecting a return movement. In this manner, the shoe will approach the tubular element during the netgathering movement of the carrier and, conversely, be farthest located from the tubular element during the opposite movement of the carrier.
  • the shoe is supported by a rod which is radially positioned with respect to the net-supporting tubular element and provided with a double-link pitman which, by means of a suitable spring, causes the engagement and disengagement of the shoe with and from the netting, respectively, in cooperation with the displacement of the carrier in one direction or in the other.

  • the device for the direct stuffing of foodstuff into tubular netting is composed of the following structural elements: a rigid frame 1 with vertical uprights 2 and 3 therein. These uprights carry the horizontal sliding guides 4 for the net-gathering carrier indicated generally at 5.
  • the uprights 2 carry, further more, a group of four rolls 6 mounted in pairs on the extremity of the bifurcated supports 7 and 8 which serve the function of holding in position and alignment of the immobile stuffing tubular element or tube indicated generally at 9.

  • Inlet 9a is aligned with a small frame 10 which slidably supports a blade 11 by which the foodstuff 12 is fed within tube 9.
  • tubular element 9 is provided with a terminal section 9b which is rigidly connected to the rest of the tube by means of a constriction 13 in correspondence to which act additional positioning and centering rolls 14. These rolls 14 are rotatably supported on the uprights 3.
  • Rolls 14 serve furthermore the additional function of unwinding the netting 15 to permit it to be gradually gathered on the tubular element 9 by the reciprocating movement of the carrier 5.
  • Carrier 5 by means of a mechanical arrangement which comprises a pitman 16 and a connecting line 17, is reciprocatingly displaced by a motor 18 along the sliding guides 4 in such a fashion that a pair of jaw means 19, carried on the carrier itself, gather at each displacement in the positive or net-gathering direction a quantity of netting commensurate to the length of said positive displacement.
  • This net-gathering is effected in the vicinity of the feed inlet 9a of the tubular element.
  • the jaw means 19, during the positive displacement of the carrier drag the netting unwinding it from a suitable spool (not shown). The netting slides onto the terminal section 9b of the tubular element and such sliding action is aided by the controlled rotation of rolls 14.
  • the rolls 14 derive the reciprocating movement of the carrier 5 by means of a return chain 20 which is trained about sprocket 21 (carried on the shaft of one of said rolls l4) and also trained about a return idle pinion.
  • Chain 20 is fixed at one point thereof to the carrier 5 of the device so that when the carrier reciprocates, so does the chain 20 thereby causing the sprocket 21 to reciprocate.
  • a pair of gears 21b connects, furthermore, rolls 14 mutually to one another and, since their peripheral velocity is equal to the drag velocity of the netting, the rolls effect their auxiliary net-dragging action preventing, at the same time, the net from becoming jammed or overstretched and possibly broken.
  • the device of the invention is furthermore provided with detecting means which sense the presence of netting gathered in correspondence with a reference line positioned in the proximity of the feed inlet 9a and are capable of interrupting the displacement of the carrier 5 whenever the region 15a of the gathered netting has reached such reference line.
  • detecting means preferably consist of a photo electric cell 22 which cooperates with a screen 23 supported by a rigid arm connected to the carrier 5, so as to force the screen 23 to follow the displacements of the carrier 5.
  • the photo electric cell 22 sees" the amount of netting gathered in correspondence of the reference line, when the screen 23 is displaced therefrom by the carrier 5, and sends a signal to arrest the carrier.
  • Severing means 24 are positioned intermediate the feed inlet of the tubular element and the frame 10 and serves the purpose of cutting the netting 15 after the stuffing operation has terminated.
