Abstract
Described herein are a system and method for reconfiguring collapsible containers. The system includes a conveyor for transporting a container having sidewalls in a collapsed arrangement to a rotation station. The system also includes at least one securement member for releasably securing the container such that the container is rotatable. The system further includes a drive for rotating the container from a first angular orientation to a second angular orientation such that the sidewalls fall from the collapsed arrangement to an erected arrangement.
Claims20
A method of reconfiguring a container, the method comprising:
- transporting a container having sidewalls in a collapsed arrangement to a rotatable holder;
- securing the container in the collapsed arrangement to the rotatable holder such that the container is rotatable;
- and
- rotating the container from a first angular orientation to a second angular orientation such that the sidewalls pivot from the collapsed arrangement to an erected arrangement due to the rotation.
A system for reconfiguring a container from a collapsed configuration to an erected configuration, the system comprising:
- a conveyor for transporting a container having sidewalls in a collapsed arrangement to a rotation station;
- at least one securement member for releasably securing the container at the rotation station such that the container is rotatable;
- and
- a drive for rotating the container from a first angular orientation to a second angular orientation such that the sidewalls fall from the collapsed arrangement to an erected arrangement.
A system for reconfiguring a container from a collapsed configuration to an erected configuration, the system comprising a holder for temporarily supporting the container, and a drive mechanism for rotating the container to cause sidewalls of the container to pivot from collapsed positions to erected positions.
