Abstract
During the production of cuboid-shaped packages, in particular bundle packages made of thin cardboard, it is necessary to form sharp-edged package edges (44, 45), namely those having a right-angled cross-section. This is ensured by means of a folding aid, namely by edge supports (40, 41), around which the folding flaps (27, 28) are folded to form the package edges (44, 45). The edge supports (40, 41) are retracted from their supporting position after folding is completed and the package is finished.
Claims8
An apparatus for producing cuboid-shaped packages each having an outer wrapper which is adapted to be folded around contents of the package in a pocket (17) of a folding assembly (15), thus forming essentially right angled package edges (44, 45), characterized in,
- that at least during folding of folding flaps (27, 28) which form the package edges (44, 45), folding aids are arranged in a region of the package edges (44, 45) to be produced, said folding aids comprising edge supports (40, 41) around which the folding flaps (27, 28) are folded, and
- that said pocket (17, 18) is assigned said edge supports (40, 41),
- said apparatus comprising means for, after the folding of the folding flaps (27, 28), retracting the edge supports (40, 41) from a supporting position by ejecting or pushing the package (10) out of the pocket (17).
An apparatus for producing cuboid-shaped packages each having an outer wrapper which is adapted to be folded around contents of the package in a pocket (17) of a folding assembly (15), thus forming essentially right angled package edges (44, 45), characterized in,
- that at least during folding of folding flaps (27, 28) which form the package edges (44, 45), folding aids are arranged in a region of the package edges (44, 45) to be produced, said folding aids comprising edge supports (40, 41) around which the folding flaps (27, 28) are folded, and
- that the edge supports (40, 41) are part of the pocket (17), and form a boundary of the pocket (17), with the edge supports (40, 41) extending to a region of the package edges (44, 45) to be produced.
An apparatus for producing cuboid-shaped packages each having an outer wrapper which is adapted to be folded around contents of the package in a pocket (17) of a folding assembly (15), thus forming essentially right angled package edges (44, 45), characterized in,
- that at least during folding of folding flaps (27, 28) which form the package edges (44, 45), folding aids are arranged in a region of the package edges (44, 45) to be produced, said folding aids comprising edge supports (40, 41) around which the folding flaps (27, 28) are folded, and
- that said edge supports are two web-shaped edge supports (40, 41) that are arranged at a distance from each other and are connected to each other by a transverse web (46) to form a fork-shaped unit with folding edges (42, 43) which are directed outwardly or upwards and downwards, and which are formed by scarfing of the edge supports (40, 41).
An apparatus for producing cuboid-shaped packages each having an outer wrapper which is adapted to be folded around contents of the package in a pocket (17) of a folding assembly (15), thus forming essentially right angled package edges (44, 45), characterized in,

- that the edge supports (40, 41) are arranged at the pocket (17) in a displaceable or elastically ductile manner, and
- that in a region of an insertion station (19) for the package contents, the edge supports (40, 41) are adapted to be moved into an funnel-shaped opening position diverging at an insertion side of the pocket (17).

- that the apparatus comprises means for pushing a finished package (10) away from the edge supports (40, 41) by pushing the package out of the pocket (17).
