Definitions

  • the present invention relates to machines for forming containers from flat paperboard blanks, and more particularly, to a subsystem in such a machine for forming the body of a multiple-panel container from a flat blank including adhering together two panels of the blank while ensuring that the leading and trailing edges of the blank are properly aligned.
  • Paperboard containers are comparatively inexpensive, light in weight, sufficiently strong for the prescribed usage and disposable at the ultimate destination. Numerous paperboard containers and designs have been developed over the years along with machines for forming containers from such materials. These containers are typically constructed of a corrugated material which may be single face corrugated, single wall (double-faced) corrugated, double wall corrugated, triple wall corrugated, etc.
  • Containers may also be made of other paperboard products including, without limitation, container board, boxboard, linerboard, and cardboard. Containers made from these materials can be produced in a variety of shapes and sizes suited to the specific prescribed uses intended. Such containers are unusually strong and durable for their cost and weight and thus are excellently suited to serving a multitude of uses. Typically, the manufacturers of such, containers produce them in flattened, blank type configurations. These are sold in bulk to users that employ container forming machines to form, or erect, the containers for use. Such users may, for example, be companies that pack and sell, or distribute, any of the aforementioned commodities. A conventional container forming machine typically receives the container blanks in bulk in a hopper, or magazine.
  • the machine feeds each blank in succession along a path of travel, applies adhesive at pre-selected locations thereon, folds the container blank along preformed score lines and into designed container configurations, compresses portions of the container so that the adhesive adheres to retain the container in the designed configuration and finally discharges the container for use in packing the commodities involved.
  • packing is normally also performed on an entirely automated basis by other equipment. It is essential in such container forming machines that the containers be formed and discharged at a high rate of speed to produce the volume of containers required during the packing operation. However, it is also required that the containers, so formed, be dependably of the design configuration required and without variation from container to container so that, for example, the packing equipment is capable of handling, packing and sealing the containers.
  • a preferred solution is to provide a multiple-sided container (i.e., one having four or more sides, such as 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and the like) with angled corners.
  • Containers having more than four sides are preferred for holding fluid-filled bags because their shape tends to minimize corner gaps and resist bulging, and the angled corners of such containers provide greater all-around support and stacking strength.
  • many conventional machines designed to form 4-sided containers are not suitable for use in forming containers with more than four sides.
  • RSCs regular slotted cases
  • HSCs half slotted cases
  • side load RSCs side load RSCs
  • end load RSCs RSCs with extended manufacturers joint
  • RSCs are generally described as container blanks in which the leading and trailing panels of the container body have already been overlapped and adhered together by the blank manufacturer before shipment.
  • the body panels and end flaps of RSCs are pre-scored so that forming the case involves simply opening up the body, and then folding and adhering the end panels into place.
  • RSC blanks Because of the overlapping of the pre-adhered panels, "flat" RSC blanks generally have three times the thickness of a single-sheet blank resulting from the two overlapping adhered panels, and the opposite side panel of the pre-formed body. However, RSC blanks are only about half as wide as a corresponding single-sheet blank used for making the same sized container. As a result, RSC blanks are about 1/3 less efficient to store and ship than corresponding single-sheet blanks used to form like containers. When hundreds of thousands of blanks are to be stored and shipped, the inefficiency of RSCs over single-sheet blanks becomes readily apparent, making it desirable to avoid the use of RSCs if possible.
  • a traditional method of assembling a four-sided paperboard container from a flat blank is to first crease the blank along its fold lines to form the general container shape.
  • the two end flaps are then folded onto the two opposite corresponding side panels so that the edges of the side panels rest snugly against the flap fold line creases. This flush position ensures a sturdy and properly formed container.
  • the end flaps are then secured to the opposite side panels using an adhesive.
  • Some polygonal container forming machines have been developed.
  • U.S. Patent Nos. 4,932,930 and 5,147,271 disclose machines that utilize a mandrel to assemble the container.
  • the exterior shape of the mandrel corresponds to the internal shape of the container to be formed, and one or more arms are used to wrap the flat carton blank around the mandrel.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,375,715 discloses a device utilizing the shape of the products (i.e. bottles) inserted into the container to form the top portion of the container, in a manner similar to that of a mandrel. A series of plows and guides fold first and second sides down over the products (i.e. bottle tops).
  • This invention requires that the products be placed into the container blank prior to the formation process which makes the device unusable in many applications, or severely limits its usefulness, such as where the products to be packaged are in a different location than the machine forming the containers, or where the products have special handling or temperature requirements that cannot be provided in conjunction with the container forming machine.
  • This device also has an alignment shortcoming in that it relies upon the proper initial formation of the open top container, as well as the proper placement of the goods within it for proper alignment. Errors in either area will cause the subsequent creases to be made in improper locations.
  • the present invention is an apparatus for forming multi-sided containers from flat single-sheet paperboard blanks without the use of a mandrel or inserted products, and which assures proper alignment of the leading and trailing edges of the container blank before adhering the first and last body panels of the blank together.
  • the apparatus may be incorporated into any container assembly device as an alternative to a mandrel or analogous component.
  • the apparatus is generally designed for use with containers having more than fours sides, but may be adapted for use in forming 4-sided as well as RSC containers.
  • the present invention generally comprises a plurality of various plows and guides disposed along a lateral track defined by one or more conveyor belts along which a pre-scored container blank is taken.
  • the plows and guides are situated in specific locations along the track to form the various panels of the container blank by folding it along the pre- scored lines. As the blank travels down the track, the panels are wrapped around or "tunneled" in a circular fashion to form the body of the container.
  • the invention may be easily configured to handle any of a wide range of different numbers of panels, such that containers with virtually any number of panels (sides) may be formed. Eventually, the circular wrapping causes the last panel of the blank to come into the proximity of the first panel. Then, as described more fully hereinbelow, these two panels are adhered together to form the container body. However, before such adhesion takes place, special devices are employed to assure that all of the panels of the container are in alignment.
  • a unique apparatus is used to line up yet maintain separation between the first and last panels upon which adhesive has been applied while the alignment takes place. Once alignment is accomplished, the panels are pressed together and bonded by the adhesive.
  • one or more continuous primary conveyors are provided along the path to carry blank after blank through the machine where they encounter various guides and plows that perform several initial folds on each container blank.
  • These primary conveyors may be provided in any appropriate form such as one or more continuous pinch belts with rollers, one or more continuous chains or belts with cleats adjustably attached thereto, or the like.
  • Each of the primary conveyors moves at the same speed, and if cleats are used, they are deployed at regular and synchronous intervals according to the size and shape of the particular container blanks being used. After the initial folds have been accomplished, the primary conveyors may continue moving the partially-folded container blanks forward, or may hand off the blanks to a set of one or more secondary conveyors. Alignment of the body panels then takes place followed by adhesion of the first and last panels to form a wrap. A separation bar is then provided along the path of formation, and the first and last panels of the container blank are guided into positions above and below this bar.
  • One or more adhesive applicators are provided near the separation bar to spray or otherwise apply adhesive onto the first or last panel (or both) of the container blank after it has passed through the majority of the plows and guides, but before alignment or bonding has taken place.
  • the secondary conveyors may be provided in any appropriate form such as one or more continuous chains with cleats adjustably attached thereto, one or more continuous belts with cleats adjustably attached thereto, or the like. The secondary conveyors take over movement of the blank from the primary conveyors. Then a unique alignment apparatus is used to "catch up" the trailing edges of the container blank panels bringing them into alignment as the blank continues through the machine. Once alignment is accomplished, the separation bar terminates and the first and last panels are pressed together and bonded by the adhesive.
  • the present invention results in containers having fewer alignment defects.
  • the unique system allows the invention to align the container side panels and back edges before applying pressure to the adhesive. Unlike the prior art disclosed above, such alignment is not dependent upon the proper initial placement of the carton underneath a mandrel or analogous component, or upon the proper placement of goods within the container. It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a machine or sub-assembly that is capable of rapidly forming the body of a multiple-panel container from a flat blank by adhering together first and last panels of the blank after ensuring that the leading and trailing edges of the blank are properly aligned.

  • the apparatus of the present invention includes a series of plows and guides which bend, fold and wrap the plurality of panels of a container hlank 10 to form the body of a container as the blank 10 is fed laterally through the machine. It is to be appreciated that the blank 10 illustrated in Figs.
  • 1-2 and 4-6 has eight panels such that it forms an octagonal container body, but that a blank 10 having any number of panels (e.g., 4-12, or more) could also be formed in a similar manner with minor adjustments to the plows and guides of the machine.
  • blank 10 is urged forward laterally through the machine by the primary conveyors 22.
  • the exemplary embodiment of Figs. 4 and 7 illustrates primary conveyors 22 as a pair of pinch belts 22 and 23, however it is to be appreciated that any appropriate conveyance means may be used including without limitation, belts or chains having adjustably removable cleats located at appropriate intervals thereon.
  • Pinch belts are preferred over cleats as the primary conveyors 22 because pinch belts avoid damaging the blank as it encounters frictional resistance from the forming plows and guides. Such frictional resistance could cause cleats to impart dents or deformities to the blank, whereas pinch belts allow some slippage of the blank 10 without damaging it, while maintaining throughput of blanks through the machine. This slippage is compensated for in the alignment section of the invention, as discussed more fully below. As it is moved through the machine, the container blank 10 encounters a series of inner and outer plows and guides (A-D) which bend, fold and wrap the various panels of the blank in a circular or funnel fashion. The various stages of folding experienced by this exemplary blank are illustrated in Fig. 5.
  • A-D inner and outer plows and guides
  • side panel 12 including attached top panel 14 is initially bent upward to a generally vertical position by side plow bar A.
  • second side panel 13 is also bent into a generally vertical position by side plow bar B. See Fig. 4, and Stage II of Fig. 5.
  • plow bar C folds top panel 14 down to an angled position. See Fig. 4.
  • an intermediate end panel 15 attached to side panel 13 is bent from vertical to horizontal by plow bar D.
  • each of cleats 42 on conveyors 32 may be adjusted according to the size, spacing and style of the particular container blanks 10 introduced into the invention. If multiple secondary conveyors 32 are used, each of cleats 42 is synchronized on its respective conveyor 32 so that each cleat 42 engages the back edge of its respective panel on the same plane so as to maintain all of panels 11-13 in alignment with each other.
  • Top panel 14 (with attached intermediate panel 19) is next folded to a generally horizontal position as shown at Stage IV of Fig. 5. This activity results in the position of intermediate panel 19 attached to top panel 14 being located in a spaced relationship above intermediate end panel 15 of panel 13. These two intermediate panels (19 and 15) will eventually be adhered together to form a continuous body or wrap of the formed container.
  • blank 10 may have any number of panels (in the illustrated example, there are eight such panels), and that plows and guides may be added, removed and/or adjusted according to the given number of panels so that the first and last panels (in the illustrated example, intermediate panels 15 and 19) are positioned above each other in a spaced relationship prior to adhesion. It is also to be appreciated that the primary and secondary conveyors, and any cleats located thereon, may also be adjusted according to the size, style and spacing of the particular container blanks 10 introduced into the machine.
  • the friction between plow bars A, B, C and D against respective panels 12, 13, 14 and 15 may cause panels 14 and 19 to drag slightly such that they lag behind side panels 12 and 13 which are being propelled forward by cleats 42 on secondary side conveyors 32.
  • this lag may be as much as two inches.
  • main panels 11-14, and particularly the intermediate panels 15 & 19 are properly aligned before they are adhered to each other.
  • the position of panel 11 is not of concern in the illustrated embodiment since it is located between panels 12 and 13 which are being moved synchronously by aligned cleats 42 on secondary conveyors 32. However, this may not necessarily be the case in a different embodiment with different conveyors contacting different panels.
  • the adhesion and alignment is accomplished by first applying longitudinal beads or strips of adhesive to the top of lower panel 15 (or the bottom of upper panel 19, or both) while keeping lower panel 15 spatially separated from upper panel 19 until alignment occurs.
  • This separation is accomplished using a separating member such as a bar or rod 25 positioned between panels 15 and 19 that extends for a short distance along the path through the machine, after plow D has bent panel 14 down.
  • a separating member such as a bar or rod 25 positioned between panels 15 and 19 that extends for a short distance along the path through the machine, after plow D has bent panel 14 down.
  • one or more additional alignment devices 31 are provided to engage the trailing edge(s) of one or more of the now bent panels (e.g. 12, 13 and/or 14 in the illustrated embodiment) of blank 10 to bring them into alignment with the back edge of the remaining panels (e.g. bottom panel 11).
  • one or more alignment conveyors 31 are provided along the critical span of the longitudinal path of the container blank 10 through the machine including and extending beyond separating member 25.
  • Each alignment conveyor 31 is a continuous motor-operated belt that is provided with a plurality of adjustably positionable cleats 41 located thereon at spaced intervals. These intervals may be the same as, or different from those of cleats 42 on secondary conveyors 32. In the illustrated embodiment, alignment conveyor 31 is mounted above the path of the container blank so that each cleat 41 engages the trailing edge of a top panel 14. Additional conveyors
  • each additional alignment conveyor 31 may also be provided along the same critical section of the longitudinal path, each additional alignment conveyor 31 having, respectively, a plurality of cleats 41 located thereon at the same spaced intervals. It is to be appreciated that one or more alignment conveyors 32 may be provided at any suitable location along the path of blank 10 in order to engage any panels of the blank 10 that may potentially be trailing as a result of frictional resistance discussed above.
  • Each alignment conveyor 31 is independently operable from the primary 22 and, if used, secondary conveyors 32. When multiple alignment conveyors 31 are used, they are synchronized with each other. Alignment conveyors 31 do not always operate at the same speed as primary and secondary conveyors 22 and 32. In the illustrated embodiment, a single alignment conveyor 31 is provided in a preferred location above the path of container blank 10.
  • Alignment conveyors 31 pause briefly while the trailing edges of panels 12 and 13 are moved forward by secondary conveyors 32 to a position where those trailing edges (and cleats 42) have moved a short distance past the beginnings of the alignment conveyors 31. This delay is provided to compensate for the possible lag of panel 14 caused by the frictional resistance described previously, and allows potentially lagging panel 14 to also move past the beginnings of the alignment conveyors 31. Once this position is reached
  • alignment conveyors 31 are activated and initially move more quickly than primary and secondary conveyors 22 and 32 in order to "catch up” with them.
  • Servo or other similar motors may be used to accomplish this movement.
  • This quick movement causes cleat(s) 41 to engage the trailing edge(s) of any potentially lagging panel(s) (e.g., panel 14) and bring them into alignment with the remaining panels of the blank 10.
  • the lagging panel(s) are in alignment with the other major panels of the blank 10, and the speed of alignment conveyors 31 is reduced to match that of secondary conveyors 32.
  • panels 15 and 19 are now directly above/below each other. Once alignment has been achieved, panels 15 and 19 move forward past the termination of separation member 25, and encounter a compression mechanism on the path.
  • This compression mechanism may take any appropriate form (such as rollers 49 in the illustrated embodiment) which compresses intermediate panel 19 against intermediate panel
  • first and last panels 15 and 19 are maintained in a parallel, generally horizontal position during the alignment and compression operations so as to assure proper and complete adhesion.
  • the invention may be set up such that the first and last panels are maintained in some other position (vertical, angled, etc.) during alignment and compression operations, so long as they are parallel to each other. After adhesion, and during later formation processes these panels may then be bent at any appropriate angle .
  • the positions of alignment conveyors 31 and pressure rollers 49 are adjustable so as to accommodate different sized container blanks 10.
  • the carriage assembly supporting conveyor 31 and rollers 49 may be adjusted upward or downward by rotating adjustment screw 44, and it may be rotated forward or backward using adjustment screw 45.
  • the amount of adjustment will depend upon the size and shape of the container blank 10 to be used. It is important to recognize that there is a critical point along the formation path through the machine at and after which the one or more alignment devices 31 should make contact with panels of the container blank 10. The major folds of the container blank 10 should be accomplished before this point, and sufficient space allowed for any lagging panels to also pass the point before alignment devices 31 are activated. Alignment devices 31 must first wait until all of the panels of blank 10, including any that may lag behind because of the friction of the formation process, have moved beyond the crucial point.
  • the remote panels of larger container blanks with larger panels and more surface area i.e., generating more frictional resistance
  • the alignment devices 31 are activated and quickly "catch up" with the secondary conveyors 32, and in the process they bring the lagging panels of the container blank 10 into alignment with the other panels of the blank.
  • the "catch up" process of the alignment conveyors may be accomplished using a variety of different devices, and that one or more of such devices may be deployed at any suitable position or location along the path of formation, including without limitation, above, below, at one or more corners, or along one or more sides of said path.
  • one or more pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders may he utilized in conjunction with one or more conveyors. In this embodiment, once all panels of the blank 10 have passed the critical point, the cylinder is activated which causes an associated contact element to be quickly extended out in parallel with the path of blank 10 such that the element pushes against a frictionally trailing panel of the blank 10.
  • the "catch up" alignment device may alternatively take the form of one of numerous other embodiments that cause the necessary lurch which brings the remote panel into phase / alignment with the remaining panels, such as: a timing belt, a pulsing servo motor attached to a conveyor, a powered wheel and rail system, pinch belts, bottom rollers with tabs, adjustably cleated chains or belts (as illustrated), suction cups along the path, a drum system, or the like. It is to be understood that variations and modifications of the present invention may be made without departing from the scope thereof. It is also to be understood that the present invention is not to be limited by the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but only in accordance with the appended claims when read in light of the foregoing specification.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil permettant de former des contenants à plusieurs côtés à partir de découpes plates de carton, sans utilisation de mandrin ni de produit inséré, tout en garantissant un alignement correct des bords avant et arrière de la découpe avant de réunir par collage le dernier panneau au premier. Cet appareil peut s'intégrer à n'importe quel dispositif d'assemblage de contenants en remplacement d'un composant à mandrin ou analogue. L'interaction entre plusieurs outils et guides peut faire d'une action d'enveloppement devant se produire amène le dernier panneau de la découpe à proximité du premier panneau, mais le frottement peut faire que le dernier panneau reste derrière le premier panneau. L'invention concerne donc un appareil unique qui maintient l'espacement entre le premier panneau (15) et le dernier (19) sur lequel la colle a été appliquée, l'appareil comportant un mécanisme qui reprend tous panneaux dispersés pour les remettre dans le bon alignement. Une fois que l'alignement est réalisé, les panneaux sont appliqués l'un sur l'autre et fixés par la colle.
