Abstract
A box packing machine in which containers such as bottles are fed continuously to form a group of a given number with certain rows and columns and the containers in one group are spaced apart one another at a predetermined distance before being loaded into a box such as a carton. A container space regulating unit is reciprocatingly movable between the first position and the second position defined in the box packing machine. The container space regulating unit receives containers of a given number at the first position. The containers carried on the space regulating unit are spaced apart one another at a predetermined distance while they are being transported to the second position, where the containers are transferred into a box in unison.
Claims12
A box packing machine for placing containers of a given number into a box comprising a machine housing, a container space regulating unit which is movable reciprocatingly between the first and second positions defined in said machine housing, container supply means for supplying containers of a given number to said container space regulating unit while being located at the first position, arranging means provided on said container space regulating unit for arranging the containers to a desired format while said container space regulating unit advances from the first position to the second position, and a holder head, disposed vertically movably at the second position, which includes a plurality of holders for individually holding the upper portions of said containers in a desired format.
In a box packing machine for placing containers of a given number into a box comprising a machine housing, a pair of guide rails extending between the first and second positions defined in said machine housing, a carriage movably carried on said guide rails, driving means for reciprocating said carriage between the first and second positions, a plurality of container support tables disposed side by side on said carriage in the reciprocating direction of said carriage, and space regulating means for regulating the spacing in said container support tables;
- the improvement residing in that said space regulating means comprises threaded projections each of which is provided on each of said container support tables, a shaft having threaded portions individually engageable with said threaded projections, and driving means for reversibly rotating said shaft.
In a box packing machine for placing containers of a given number into a box comprising a machine housing, a pair of guide rails extending between the first and second positions defined in said machine housing, a carriage movably carried on said guide rails, driving means for reciprocating said carriage between the first and second positions, a plurality of container support tables disposed side by side on said carriage in the reciprocating direction of said carriage, and space regulating means for regulating the spacing of said container support tables;
- the improvement residing in that said space regulating means comprises bored projections each of which is provided on each of said container support tables, spring means for always biassing said container support tables into contact, a stepped shaft which passes through said bored projections, and driving means for moving said container support tables away from each other.
