Apparatus for packing units of goods under continuous movement

Apparatus for executing the method for packing of unit of goods (5) in so called wrap-around-packages under continuous movement, whereby the package (4) is successively wrapped around the unit of goods and is sealed, characterized in that the apparatus generally comprises

• means (2) for continuously collecting units (5) of goods to be packed, means (3) for formation of a plain package blank (4) to a package container with one sloped wall, which is completely open at least at one side,
• means (6, 16, 17, 7, 34, 35) for continuously feeding units (5) of goods and the preformed package containers (4) in a continuous movement with the same speed and side by side,
• means (8) for pushing each of the units (5) of goods into one package container (4), and
• means (9) for closing and sealing the package containers (4) which are filled with units (5) of goods
• further characterized in that the means (3) for preparing a plain package blank (4) to receive a unit (5) of goods comprises a magazine for plane package blanks (4) provided above and aside of the conveyor belt (4) for the prepared package containers (4), means (26) for one by one feeding a package blank to a position above the conveyor belt (7) for the package container (4), a mechanical push down means (28) for pushing the bottom part (4a ) of the package blank (4) down between formation means (29), whereby at least two opposite sides (4b, 4c) of the package blank are fold up and one side is sloped from the package bottom (4a) and pull-down means (30) acting from underneath and engating the underside of the package bottom (4a) to pull the package down onto a table (31) extending on the same level as the conveyor belt (7) for the package container (4).

• means (3) for formation of a plain package blank (4) to a package container with one sloped wall, which is completely open at least at one side,
• means (6, 16, 17, 7, 34, 35) for continously feeding units (5) of goods and the preformed package containers (4) in a continuous movement with the same speed and side by side,
• means (8) for pushing each of the units (5) of goods into one package container (4), and
• means (9) for closing and sealing the package containers (4) which are filled with units (5) of goods
• further characterized in that the means (8) for pushing units (5) of goods sideways into a package container (4) comprises a guide (39) carrying an endless chain or similar means which in turn carries a number of pushers (40) provided on exactly predetermined equally spaced distances and located just in front of each unit (5) of goods, whereby the said guide (39) is formed so that the pushers (40) sideways pushes a unit (5) of goods into a package container (4) and thereafter is immediately removed from the package container and from the conveyor belt (6) for the units (5) of goods.

Apparatus for packing units of goods in a continuous movement in so called wrap-around packages, which apparatus comprises means for continuously collecting units of goods to be packed, means for preforming a plain package blank to a package container which is put on a feeder for packages with at least one laterally disposed package side fully open, a conveyor for continuously feeding units of goods in a continuous movement side by side and with the same speed as the conveyor for the package containers, means for laterally pushing a unit of goods into each package container and means for closing and sealing the package containers containing the units of goods, characterized in that the conveyor for the package containers has several groups of followers, including in each group a front follower and a rear follower at least one of which is movable in the front and rear direction as considered in the moving direction of the conveyor and before the unit of goods is pushed into the package container is adapted to take a position spaced from the second follower which is larger than the width of the container in the feeding direction, whereby the front side and the rear side of package container are widened in relation to each other considered in the feeding direction, whereas the follower or followers after the unit of goods is pushed into the package container takes a position in which the front and the rear sides of the package container are pressed tightly to the unit of goods.
