Description
1 FIELD OF_T~IE INVENTION
This invention relates to an apparatus for loading a stack of containers into a chute which holds the stack and allows containers to be dispensed from the bottom of the stack.
BACKGROVND OF T~IE_INVENTION
With the advent of high speed container filling machines, such as those used in the filling oE coffee creamer containers, condiment containers, small serving deserts, fruit cups and yogurt containers, it has become desirable for each operation of the filling machine to be simplified to allow the operator sufficient time to observe the performance of the machine. One of the functions that the operator must monitor is the container supply system and, as this supply becomes low, new containers must be added. As the output capacity of these machines continues to increase, the time required to maintain a supply of containers in the chutes increases and, therefore, the method of loading the containers into the chutes should be simplified where possible. As the si~e of the contaienrs increases, the rigidity of the stack similarly increases, and facilitates improved handling of the containers.
The simplest and most common method of loading containers into chutes on automatic filling machines is by top entry into a stati~nary chute which requires the entire stack to be raised to the upper part of the chute and placed in the opening for slid insertion within the chute enclosure. Although this system is satisfactory for many applications, it can prove difficult in that the operator must reach to the upper portion of the chute, maintaining 1~6~
l control over the stack of containers and, therefore, the size of the chute is certainly limited.
To overcome this problem, various arrangements have been used which allow the stack of containers to be positioned horizontally and subsequently moved to the vertical position within chutes. One such structure is shown in United States patent 4,077,180, in which individual rows of containers are placed one by one into a hopper provided on an upright conveyor system which conveys individual stacks of containers upwardly to an area which is aligned with tubes which lead to the filling machine chutes. The stacks of containers are pushed through the tubes downwardly into the chutes to provide a supply of containers. This system is particularly suitable for small coffee creamer containers, where the output speed of the machine is high and, therefore, the additional cost in automating the container feed system is justified.
A slightly different approach is taken in our copending Canadian patent application S.N. 344,142, filed January 22, 1980 entitled "Automatic Container Feed for Container Handling Device", in which stacks of containers are placed on a horiæotal conveyor bed and moved to align with supply chutes of the automatic filling machine for advancement through a sidewall opening in the container chute and subsequently dropped within the supply chute for clispensing.
Again, this automatic approach is particularly suited to high speed filling machines in which the output rate is sufficiently high to justify this mechanized approach.
Another prior art structure for use with small creamer containers utilizes a hinged horizontal platform on which :~3 6~
1 stacks of containres are placed, with this platform being moved upwardly to cooperate with other support members which, in combination with the hinged member, define the chutes for the machine.
The present invention provides a simple mechanical apparatws which facilitates load of containers into chutes of an automatic filling machine.
SU~MARY OF THE INVENTION
_________ __________ A container chute for maintaining nested containers in a generally vertical manner to allow the containers to be dispensed with the assistance of gravity comprises support means positioned to positively maintain such containers in a generally vertical manner, a portion of said support means being movable to an open position to allow insertion of a stack of containers into said support means. The movable portion is then returned to a closed position to positively maintain such inserted stack. Therefore, according to the invention a major portion of the stack of containers passes into the cavity defined between these support means as a portion of the support means is moved or cammed outwardly.
Once the stack is inserted, the support means is returned to the initial position thereby positively maintaining the inserted stack of containersO
According to an aspect of the invention, the movable portion of the support means is biased to return to the closed position after the insertion of the stack into the chute.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the movable portion is cammed outwardly by pressing a stack of nested containers thereagainst, thereby creating an opening 1 of sufficient si~e to allow the containers to pass through into the chute defined by the support means.
According to yet a further aspect of the invention, a container chute for receiving and maintaining nested containers in a generally vertical manner, comprises at least three supports positioned to maintain a stack of containers therebetween, wherein one of said supports is movable outwardly away from the other supports to define a larger opening for inserting such stack of containers into the chute. The movable support remains generally parallel to the other supports during movement thereof and remains in contact with the side of such column of containers during insertion of the containers into the chute.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION_OF_THE_DRAWINGS
Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of three container chutes commonly mounted on a base member;
Figure 2 is a partial perspective view of the lower support member of the container chutes.
Figure 3 is a top view of a container chute with a stack of containers being inserted into the chute; and Figure 4 is similar to Figure 3 however the containers are now positioned within the chute member.
DETAILED_DESCRIPTION_OF THE__REFERRED_EMBODIMENTS
Three container chute assemblies according to the present invention are shown in Figure 1 commonly mounted on a base member 20. Each of these chutes 2, have a pair of moveable portions 4 located either side of a stationary support rod 5. The moveable portions 4 which partially 1 define the container chute are pivotable about rod 7 which may be either directly secured to the base member or may be pivotally secured within the base member and the upper support member 22 such that these moveable portions do pivot about its longitudinal axis. Associated with each of these moveable portions 4 is a spring member 14 which urges the as~ociated moveable portion to the closed position about a stack of nested containers generally shown as 30 in Fiyure 1.
Turning to Figure 2 it can be seen that a base member 17 has been used in place of the block member 20 and supports the moveable portions 4 and the rear support rod 5 which in combination, generally define the container chute. E`ach of these moveable portions has an arm 12 pivotally secured to the base member 17 generally beneath rod 7 with rod 10 extending upwardly from the arm 12. This arm also extends beyond support rod 7 to cooperate with a spring member 14 which is secured to the arm 12 through a pin member 15 and the spring is secured to the base member 17 throuyh pin 16.
This spring urges the moveable member to the closed position shown in E'igure 2 which is positively defined by the stop pin 19 secured to the base member. Supports rods 10 on corresponding moveable portions 4 in combination with a stationary support rod S define the container ~hute and the spacing between any of these rod members is less than the maximum diameter of the containers to be inserted into the chute such that in the closed position a stack of containers is positively maintained within the chute. It can also be appreciated that the distance 'Al shown in Figure 2 is greater than the radius of the containers such that rods 5 and 10 are positioned about the stack of containes and 1 positively maintain the stack within the chute.
The top view of Figure 3 illustrates the insertion of a stack of containers 30a into the chute 2 with each of the movable portions 4 camming outwardly such that the distance between the rods 10 on either side of the containers is sufficient to allow insertion of the containers into the chute.
The operator merely has to press the stack of containers against these movable portions and the interaction of the containers with the rods 10, if the operator applies pressure in the lateral direction of arrow 50, will force these movable por-tions outwardly and the containers may be conveniently placed within the chute.
Figure 4 illustrates the stack of containers 30a positioned within the chute member and the spring 14 urges the rod 10 to move inwardly after the maximum diameter of the container has passed through the gap between these rods. Stop pins 19 limit the movement of rods 10 towards each other and in so doing define a container chute which loosely maintains the stack of containers such that the containers can move downwardly of the chute under the influence of gravity as containers are dispensed from the bottom of the chute. The support rods which define the container chute should not have projecting edges which possibly could interact with the containers and bind them within the chute.
As shown in Figures 3 and 4 it is also possible that one spring member 14a may be connected to the adjacent arm 12 of the next container chute whereby the requirement for pins 16 for these arms is eliminated. As shown in Figure 3, during the insertion of the stack of containers 30a into the container chute, arm 12b remains in its closed position while 1~6~B~
1 arm 12a is cammed outwardly due to the interaction of the stack of containers as it is pushed into the container chute.
As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2 the movable portions of the container chutes and particularly the rods 10 are secured such that during insertion of a stack of containers these movable portions cam outwardly while remaining ~enerally parallel with the stationary support member 5. After the containers have been inserted into the chute these members again move inwardly towards one another and in -the closed position, positively maintain the stack of containers therein.
The spacing between two adjacent arms of the movable portions 12a and 12b shown in Figures 3 and 4 is su~ficient to allow camming of this arm outwardly without interfering wlth the adjacent arm which remains in the closed position. If these arms were too close together they would interfere with the movement of each other and would not function in the manner shown.
Although we have shown a container chute having two movable portions, it can easily be appreciated that one of these movable portions could be stationary with the other movable portion being cammed outwardly through a greater distance to allow the insertion of the containers. When two movable portions are used the movement of each of these is reduced~
In all cases the movable portions of the container chute need not extend over the entire height of the chute. A
stack of nested containers generally has some flexibility along its length which would allow the movable portion of the chute to be reduced to a length less than the height of -1 the stack being inserted with this stack being pressed inwardly and upwardly whereby the top of the stack moves above the movable portions within the chute to allow the lower portion of the stack to be inserted into the chute.
This is not the preferred embodiment as it complicates the insertion of containers into the chute however it may be suitable in some operations.
Although preferred embodiments of the invention have been described herein in detail it will be understood that variations may be made thereto without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
