The invention relates to a device for processing at least one packaging container, in particular for stretching out at least one stretching element of the packaging container, comprising at least one pivoting-arm pair, which comprises a first pivoting arm and a second pivoting arm, which is arranged in a mirror-symmetric manner in relation to the first pivoting arm with respect to an axis of symmetry perpendicular to the at least one linear axis, wherein the first pivoting arm is supported in such a way that the first pivoting arm can be rotated about a first pivoting-arm axis of rotation perpendicular to the axis of symmetry in a first rotational motion and can be displaced in the direction of the at least one linear axis in a first displacement motion and the second pivoting arm is supported in such a way that the second pivoting arm can be rotated about a second pivoting-arm axis of rotation perpendicular to the axis of symmetry in a second rotational motion and can be displaced in the direction of the at least one linear axis in a second displacement motion, and comprising a coupling transmission, which is designed to produce the first rotational motion and the first displacement motion of the first pivoting arm and the second rotational motion and the second displacement motion of the second pivoting arm from at least one first driving motion and one second driving motion, and wherein the first rotational motion and the second rotational motion are synchronous to each other and in opposite directions and the first displacement motion and the second displacement motion are synchronous to each other and in opposite directions.
A device for processing at least one packaging container (12a-e), the device comprising at least one linear axis (16a-e), comprising at least one pair of pivot arms (18a-e) including a first pivot arm (20a-e) and a second pivot arm (24a-e) arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner with respect to the first pivot arm (20a-e) with reference to a symmetry axis (22a-e) perpendicular to the at least one linear axis (16a-e), wherein the first pivot arm (20a-e) is mounted so as to be rotatable in a first rotational movement (28a-e) about a first pivot arm rotational axis (30a-e) perpendicular to the symmetry axis (22a-e) and displaceable in a first displacement movement (32a-e) in the direction of the at least one linear axis (16a-e), and wherein the second pivot arm (24a-e) is mounted so as to be rotatable in a second rotational movement (36a-e) about a second pivot arm rotational axis (38a-e) perpendicular to the symmetry axis (22a-e) and displaceable in a second displacement movement (40a-e) in the direction of the at least one linear axis (16a-e), and comprising a coupler mechanism (42a-e) for generating the first rotational movement (28a-e) and the first displacement movement (32a-e) of the first pivot arm (20a-e) and the second rotational movement (36a-e) and the second displacement movement (40a-e) of the second pivot arm (24a-e) from at least one first drive movement (44a-e) and one second drive movement (46a-e), and wherein the first rotational movement (28a-e) and the second rotational movement (36a-e) as well as the first displacement movement (32a-e) and the second displacement movement (40a-e) are in each case synchronous with one another in opposite directions.
A method for processing at least one packaging container (12a-e), the method comprising providing a device (10a-e) with at least one pair of pivot arms (18a-e) including at least one first pivot arm (20a-e) and a second pivot arm (24a-e) arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner to the first pivot arm (20a-e) with reference to a symmetry axis (22a-e) perpendicular to a linear axis (16a-e), rotating the first pivot arm (20a-e) in a first rotational movement (28a-e) about a first pivot arm rotational axis (30a-e) perpendicular to the symmetry axis (22a-e), displacing the first pivot arm in a first displacement movement (32a-e) in the direction of the linear axis (16a-e), rotating the second pivot arm (24a-e) in a second rotational movement (36a-e) about a second pivot arm rotational axis (38a-e) perpendicular to the symmetry axis (22a-e) and displacing the second pivot arm in a second displacement movement (40a-e) in the direction of the linear axis (16a-e), wherein a coupler mechanism (42a-e) generates the first rotational movement (28a-e) and the first displacement movement (32a-e) of the first pivot arm (22a-e) as well as the second rotational movement (36a-e) and the second displacement movement (40a-e) of the second pivot arm (24a-e) from at least one first drive movement (44a-e) and one second drive movement (46a-e), and wherein the first rotational movement (28a-e) and the second rotational movement (36a-e) as well as the first displacement movement (32a-e) and the second displacement movement (40a-e) are in each case synchronous with one another in opposite directions.
