Abstract
An aim is to provide a bag manufacturing and packaging apparatus which is able to conduct a bag manufacturing at high speed, further to be small in height. A bag manufacturing and packaging apparatus 1 comprises a bag manufacturing unit that includes a transverse sealing mechanism 17 and a strip mounting unit that includes a transfer mechanism 32. The bag manufacturing unit manufactures bags filled with articles. The transfer mechanism 32 transfers bags manufactured by the bag manufacturing unit diagonally downward. The strip mounting unit mounts bags B to a strip S after they are transferred by means of the transfer mechanism 32.
Claims15
A bag manufacturing and packaging apparatus that is arranged to output in a frontward direction bags affixed to a strip, said bag manufacturing and packaging apparatus comprising:
- a bag manufacturing unit that manufactures bags filled with articles;
- and
- a mounting unit that mounts bags manufactured by said bag manufacturing unit to a strip, said mounting unit having
- a transfer mechanism that transfers the bags manufactured by said bag manufacturing unit in a diagonally downward and rearward direction, and
- a fixing mechanism that affixes the bags to the strip after said transfer mechanism transfers the bags.
A bag manufacturing and packaging apparatus that is arranged to output in a frontward direction bags affixed to a strip, said bag manufacturing and packaging apparatus comprising:
- a bag manufacturing unit that manufactures bags filled with articles, said bag manufacturing unit including
- a transverse sealing mechanism that seals a vertical end of a bag, said
- transverse sealing mechanism having a pair of sealing members that grasps the end of the bag and applies heat and pressure while moving downward to seal the end, said pair of sealing members releasing the end of the bag at a release position, said release position being fixed within said bag manufacturing and packaging apparatus without regard to a distance by which said pair of sealing members moves downward while grasping the bag;
- and
- a mounting unit having
- a fixing mechanism that affixes bags that are manufactured by said bag manufacturing unit to a strip at a fixing position, the fixing position being positioned downward and offset in a rearward direction relative to the release position.
A bag manufacturing and packaging apparatus, comprising:
- a bag manufacturing unit that manufactures bags filled with articles;
- and
- a mounting unit that mounts bags manufactured by said bag manufacturing unit to a strip, said mounting unit having
- a holding mechanism having a main body and a pair of grasping arms for grasping ends of bags that are manufactured by said bag manufacturing unit,
- a rail disposed so as to be inclined from a frontward upper side to a rearward lower side,
- a sliding member repetitively movable along said rail,
- a supporting member fixedly coupled to said sliding member via a rod, said main body of said holding mechanism being fixedly attached to said supporting member, such that said sliding member, said supporting member, and said holding mechanism repetitively move diagonally together, and
- a fixing mechanism that affixes to the strip bags that are held by said holding mechanism and moved by said sliding member.
