Willbrandt, Battle Creek, Mich., assignor to 1l\3/Ia ttllle Creek Packaging Machines, Inc., Battle Creek,
Original application Apr. 7, 1961, Ser. No. 101,543, now Patent No. 3,112,589, dated Dec. 3, 1963. Divided and this application Sept. 4, 1963, Ser. No. 306,475
8 Claims. (Cl. 53-33) its bottom partially overlapping a first edge of the sheet after which the remainder of the sheet is folded up and over the top and down the opposite side of the sheet and held temporarily while the article and the over wrapped portion of the sheet are moved relative to the held portion of the sheet and over the held portion to fold and release the held portion under the bottom of the article and the first edge of the sheet into a tubular wrap, after which end tucks and folds may be formed in the ends of the tubular wrap.
Second, to provide a method of wrapping an article in which the article once placed on an edge of the wrapper sheet, needs to be moved only in a single plane to complete a tubular wrap around the article so that the article on the sheet holds the sheet in its initially underlapped relation to the article and the movement of the article and sheet completes the second underlap and tubular wrap of the sheet.
Third, to provide a novel procedure of making a second and final underlapping fold in a wrapper sheet to complete a tubular wrap by holding the terminal end of the sheet and advancing the partially wrapped article over the held portion thus pulling the terminal end under the article and applying a tension in the sheet while the advancing force on the partially wrapped package applies an opposite tensioning force to the wrapper.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from a consideration of the following description and claims. The drawings, of which there are two sheets, illustrate the several steps of the method of wrapping claimed herein as well as one form of a machine for performing the method as claimed in the above identified application and patent.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of the wrapping mechanism.
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary enlarged plan view of the mechanism with a portion of the top broken away to illustrate operating connections therebelow.
FIG. 3 is a-fragmentary vertical cross sectional view taken along the plane of the line 3-3 in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a schematic or diagrammatic view showing the several stages or steps in the progressive wrapping of a package with the machine of the invention. The view shows the package and wrapper in plan views.
FIG. 5 is a conventional or schematic view of the wrapping steps shown in side elevation with corresponding steps projected from FIG. 4. The several successive steps in FIGS. 4 and 5 are identified by the letters A through H as corresponding section of FIGS. 4 and 5.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical cross secice tional view through the wrapper sheet retaining roller and showing a Wrapper in operative position relative to a package being wrapped.
The wrapping mechanism is built into a table having a flat top 1 supoprted upon suitable legs 2. Shelves 3 are adapted to support different sized boxes 4 of commercially available sheets of wrapping material such as heat scalable cellophane cut in diamond shape. An extension bar 5 slidable in the top surface of the table at the rear or left end thereof supports one of the larger boxes at approximately the same position on the table. It will be understood that the operator selects the size of wrapper sheet to wrap the particular packages being handled. Intermediate of its ends the table top 1 has a transversely extending slot or trough 6 formed therein with a fiat cross bar 61 at its bottom. Immediately to the rear or left of the groove 6 are two holes 7 for step lugs 8. Near the front or right edge of the table is a transverse slot 9 for a heated sealing plate 10. Openings 11 at each end of the groove 6 pass vertically reciprocable support rod-s or flat bars 12 that support a transverse roller 13 as will be described. The trough 6 is deep enough so that the roller is substantially completely received in the groove to bear frictionally upon a single layer or thickness of a wrapper sheet 14 wrapped around :a package 15 and pressed against the bar 61 as will be described. (See FIG. 6.)
Bracket .plates 16 projecting from the right legs support the right end of the tabletop and have upright guideways 17 on their inner sides which retain and guide the support bars 12. The plates 16 also support bearings 18 for the cross shaft 19 which has handles 20 on each end at the outer sides of the table. A rock shaft 21 is supported by bearings 22 rearwardly of the cross shaft. The rock shaft 21 has angled crank arms 23 at each end projecting toward the support bars 12 and depending links 24 connect the crank arms to the lower end of the support 'bars with pivots at 25 and 26 respectively. The cross shaft 19 has crank arms 2-7 that are connected to intermediate positions of the cranks 23 by ireversely C-shaped links 28. Pivots for the links 28 appear at 29 and 30.
From the foregoing it will be apparent that with the handles 20 in the lowered full line position illustrated, the cranks 27 will be raised raising the C-links 28, and through them the cranks 23, links 24 and support bars 12 to elevate the roller 13 well above the table 1. The elevation of the roller is such as to permit a sheet of wrapping material 14 to be passed over the largest package to be wrapped such as a chicken or rib roast of beef and easily passed underneath the raised roller as will be described. The lowered positions of the parts indicated by the dotted lines and reference numerals with sufiix A position the roller in the trough 6.
A short rock shaft 31 supported by bearings 32 to the right of the roller trough 6 has crank arms 33 supporting the heated seal plate 10. An oppositely extending arm or beam 34 supports the stop lugs 8. The shaft 31 and arms 33 and means 34 are oscillated by a depending crank 35 connected by a link 36 with a short crank 37 on the rock shaft 21. This causes the stops 8 to move up and the heater 10 to go down when the roller 13 is raised.
The reverse C-shape of the links 28 places the pivots 29 and 30 on the rear side of the cross shaft 19 when the roller is raised so that the weight of the roller and connected support bars 12 which is substantial, tends to rotate the cranks 27 counterclockwise locking the links 28 against shaft 19. The linkage is thus self-locking in the raised position of the roller.
In order to leave the operators hands free to manipulate the package and wrapper, means are provided for lowering the roller other than by manipulation of the handles 20. Short crank arms 38 on the cross shaft are disposed in slots formed in the ends of push bars 39. The push bars extend rearwardly to crank 40 pivoted on the underside of the table. Spring biased push rods 41 extending through the sides of the table and provided with buttons 42 on their outer ends are provided with pins 43 engaged in notches 44 in the cranks. Bias springs for the bars are shown at 45. By bumping either button 42 with his hip the operator can push the cranks 38 and cross shaft 19 past center so that roller 13 falls by gravity into the trough 6.
The cycle of operation of the machine is as follows:
The operator lowers a handle 20 at either side of the machine thus raising the roller 13. A sheet 14 of wrapping material is laid flat on the table behind the roller and a package 15 to be Wrapped is placed over the front corner of the wrapper as shown in FIGS. 4A and 5A and against the stop lugs 8 as shown in FIG; 6. The roller 13 being raised out of the way, the operator swings or loops the trailing edge of the wrapper forwardly over the package and across the trough 6 as shown in FIGS. 4B and 5B. Note that the operators hand need not project under the roller to do this. The operator then bumps the knob 42 and the roller 13 falls by gravity pressing the over folded end of thewrapper into the trough 6 as shown in FIGS. 50 and 6. The roller exerts a yieldable tension on the wrapper 14 as the operator next slides the package forwardly over the roller 13. This folds the over folded edge of the wrapper snugly over the package and back under the bottom of the package and forms afirst bottom fold and overlap as shown at 46 in FIGS. 4D and 5D and a simple sliding motion passes the overlap forwardly and backwardly over the sealing plate sealing the first overlap.
The package, now with a tubular wrapper may be left open at the ends but is often returned over the still lowered roller to the rear side of the stop lugs 8 and the roller is raised as in FIGS. 4E and 5E. Relowering the roller and advancing the package again forms a second or end overlap 47 which is sealed on the hot plate in the same manner as the first underlap. (See FIGS. 4F and SF.) The package is again reversed as in FIGS. 4G and with all four sides of the wrapper lapped under the package and sealed to each as in FIGS. 4H and 5H.
At no time is it necessary to lift the package off of the "table and after the initial positioning of the fiat sheet and package and the wringing of the sheet over the package as in FIG. 5B, the entire operation is a sequence of sliding operations back and forth over the roller and the heated seal plate. The finished package may be disposed of to any suitable receiving rack or table.
