Abstract
A method of and a device for packaging blocks of foamed synthetic material in which a pair of parallel plates are mounted on a frame and are movable toward and away from each other for compressing blocks of resilient material therebetween. The machine may include blocking members for holding the articles in compressed condition and is adapted for receiving a package in which the articles can be compressed and which is provided with a releasable closure element at one end.
Claims10
The method of packaging block like articles of foamed elastic material to reduce transporting costs thereof which comprises in combination the steps of:
- arranging the articles in face to face engagement and in alignment, compressing the articles individually in the direction of alignment thereof to assure stable characteristics thereof, stacking the individually compressed articles in compressed condition, and finally enclosing the individually compressed articles in a package.
An apparatus for the compression of resilient foamed articles to reduce transporting costs thereof and comprising in combination;
- a press frame, a pair of press plates upstanding from the press frame in spaced parallel relation for receiving the articles individually to be compressed therebetween to assure stable characteristics thereof, means for moving said press plates toward and away from each other, blocking elements on said press frame displaceable thereon in the pressing direction of relative movement of said press plates and guided on said press frame, means for arresting said blocking elements in adjusted positions along said press frame, and means supporting said blocking elements on said press frame for movement thereof on the press frame transverse to the pressing direction into space provided between said press plates.
