Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a carrier puck that holds a product container in an orientation for product filling, capping, labeling, and/or other processing in automated line operations.
  • Pucks for holding product containers herein alternatively referred to as “carrier pucks” or “pucks” are used, typically in automated production lines, to hold containers in a desired orientation, e.g., an upright position.
  • carrier pucks typically in automated production lines, to hold containers in a desired orientation, e.g., an upright position.
  • Use of a puck simplifies movement of a container along a production line and is of assistance in regulating line operations.
  • a container In automated operations, a container is commonly inserted in a puck in an inbound staging area.
  • the container-bearing puck then moves through one or more processing stations where different operations are performed, among others, one or more of the following: the container may be filled with one or more materials, the container may be subjected to pre- and/or post-filling procedures or treatments, for example, heating and/or cooling, the container may have a tamper-resistant seal and/or a cap affixed thereto, one or more labels or other container indicia may be applied, and/or the container may undergo one or more quality control operations, for example, weight and/or label verification, and the like.
  • the puck and container When processing is complete, the puck and container are moved to an outbound staging area, the container is removed from the puck and the puck is rerouted back to the inbound staging area, or other designated station, for reuse. It is not uncommon for an automated production line to have hundreds of pucks in use at a single time. Many of the pucks used commercially are designed for containers of a particular configuration, i.e., they are container specific. In instances where a production line employs different container configurations for different production runs, having a puck that is adaptable for use with containers of a variety of shapes and sizes can help reduce production costs, including downtime for puck changeovers.
  • US Pat. No. 8,695,791 discloses a carrier puck that includes a circular lower body on which is mounted an upper body; as therein illustrated, the upper body is mounted to the lower body via a pair of opposing bayonet side mountings.
  • JP5659780 discloses a carrier puck having inner and outer holder components. As illustrated, the inner holder includes a moveable interior wall, the position of which can be adjusted so as to brace a container within the inner holder.
  • pucks having a base and a separate component for holding a container, more particularly a removable insert is limited by several real-world considerations.
  • the environment created by automated production can be hard on pucks. In use, there is a tendency for pucks to collide with one another. These collisions can occur with considerable force given the speed at which many automated production operations are run, with collision force being increased when containers are filled and the weight of the container-bearing pucks increased.
  • a puck having a removable insert should withstand the rigors of automated processing without premature release or displacement of the insert. Conversely, to accommodate container changeover, the puck should facilitate engagement and disengagement of the removable insert. There remains a need for pucks that provide a balance between these competing requirements.
  • One aspect of this invention is to provide a carrier puck for use in an automated production line, the carrier puck having a removable insert for receiving and holding a product container. Another aspect of this invention is to provide a carrier puck that provides robust engagement of a removable insert. Another aspect of this invention is to provide a carrier puck that resists premature release of a removable insert. A further aspect of this invention is to provide a carrier puck that provides engagement of a removable insert that withstands the vertical pull forces of container removal. Another aspect of this invention is to provide a carrier puck that allows for expeditious engagement and disengagement of a removable insert.
  • a removable insert that includes:
  • A) a removable insert comprising:
  • the base sidewall and base bottom wall generally define a base cavity for holding the removable insert
  • the insert sidewall and insert bottom wall generally define an insert cavity for holding a container; and iii) the spring-loaded coupling exerts a compression force that draws the upper rim of the insert downward on the base.

  • rim skirt When present, the rim skirt may extend downward from the rim as a full skirt; alternatively, the skirt may extend downward from one or more portions of the rim.
  • one or more container support arms may extend upward from the insert rim and/or insert sidewall.
  • the insert is provided with first and second support arms positioned on opposing sections of the insert rim and/or insert sidewall.
  • inserts To reduce the space needed to store the inserts when not in use on pucks, it may be desirable to taper or otherwise configure the insert sidewall and, when present, features such as support arms, to enable the inserts to be stacked or nested one within the other. Providing inserts that are able to be stacked or nested aids in their organization and handling.
  • the base comprises a base sidewall and a base bottom wall that, together, generally define a cavity, the base cavity, for holding the removable insert.
  • the base has a perimeter (the "base perimeter") that, in one embodiment, is generally defined by the base sidewall.

  • Providing a base sidewall of varying height and a mating insert rim, particularly a rim, at least a portion of which includes a downwardly extending skirt, may assist in aligning the insert with the base and, particularly when the base sidewall is of varying height, may contribute to a robust insert/base attachment.
  • the spring-loaded coupling (alternatively referred to as "coupling”) may take a variety of configurations.
  • the spring-loaded coupling comprises a fastener that engages with the insert through aligned apertures of, respectively, a feature of the insert (alternatively referred to as the "aperture-bearing insert feature") and a feature of the base (alternatively referred to as the "aperture-bearing base feature").
