Abstract
An inflation device for pressurized inflation of an un-inflated package, the package comprising two layers, which are generally flat prior to inflation, and an inflation opening, the inflation device comprising an inflation tool, for contacting the package at the inflation opening to inflate the package through the inflation opening using inflation fluid from a pressure source, the inflation tool having an enclosing surface to enclose the inflation opening externally of the package. The inflation tool is larger than the inflation opening so as to ensure that the inflation opening is actually enclosed.
Claims17
A system for inflating packages, the packages comprising two layers, said layers being generally flat prior to inflation, and an inflation opening of a size up to a predetermined maximum size in respective packages, the system comprising:
- an inflation device for pressurized inflation of an un-inflated package, the inflation device comprising an inflation tool, for contacting the package at the inflation opening to inflate the package through the inflation opening using inflation fluid from a pressure source, the inflation tool having an enclosing surface to enclose said inflation opening, said enclosing being external to said package, said enclosing surface covering an area which is larger by a finite amount than said predetermined maximum size.
- a mounting having an arm for movably mounting the inflation device;
- and
- a stack holder for holding pre-inflated packages for inflation by said inflation device.
