6 Claims.
Thepresent invention relatessto machinesfor use in closing and sealingfilled boxes for cartons, and has special reference to devices-for stopping `themachine or the feeding ofthe cartons in case a carton has not been properly closed or sealed.
The machine is particularly -adaptedto operateon cartons of the type provided-with end flaps that are hingedly connectedto the upper ends of the end walls of the cartons, and side flaps which arehingedly connected to the upper edges of the side wallsv ofthe cartons. This type of carton when filled `may be closed by first folding down the end. apsand then the side flaps, adhesive being applied to the undersides of the side flaps so as to secure the sidellaps over the end flaps. In machinesl for closingand sealing such cartons considerable diiiiculty has heretofore been experienced in case the machineifails to properly close one of the cartonsas it progresses therethrough.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide means which is simple in construction and eiiicient andreliable in'operation for stopping the machine in case eitherone'of the side flaps of the carton is'not properly closed. Preferably when the machine is thus stopped, the carton which is improperly closed may either be removed from the machineor the carton properly closed by hand, before the machine is again thrown into operation.
The invention is illustrated, by way of' example, in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figur-er1 is a plan view, partly diagrammatical, of a portion ofa carton closing or sealing machine embodying the features of my invention in their preferred form;
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional elevation, on an enlarged scale, taken on theline 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig.' 3 is a longitudinal sectional elevation taken substantially on theline 3--3 of Fig. 2; and
Figs. 4 and 5 are views corresponding substantially to Fig. 3 but showing certain parts of the detecting and stop mechanism of the machine in different positions.
The box or carton closing or sealing machine illustrated in the drawings, is of the type of the one illustrated and described in the patent to Saylor et al. No. 1,471,924, dated October 23, 1923.
The machine is particularly adapted for closing and sealing boxes or cartons, such as shipping cartons made of corrugated cardboard. Such cartons are usually provided with a bottom wall 2, side walls 4, side flaps-6 which are hingedly connected by scoring or otherwise to the upper edges of the side Walls, end walls 8, and end aps I0 hingedly connected-to the upper-ends of the end walls.
As shown, the machine is provided with allongitudinally extending support I Zion which the cartons are mountedto slide longitudinally one behind the other and spaced apart. The `cartons are adapted to be thus moved along the support by means of endless conveyor chains I4 that are connected by cross bars I6 which respectively engage the rear ends of the cartons.
Inaccordance with the present invention, during the continued progress of the cartons through the machine, after each-cartonhas been closed and sealed, it is presented to detecting devices which in case the side iiaps ofthe carton have not been properly closed serve to stop the machine. The defective carton may then be conveniently removed from the machine, or the proper closing thereof may be performed by hand before the machine is again throwninto operation.
As shown, these devices comprise feeler ordetector rods or pins I8, the lower ends of which are adapted to ride respectively on the side iiaps of each carton as the carton passes beneath the pins. These pins I8 are mounted to slide vertically in apertures in plates 2D and' 22 which are secured to upright frame plates 24. Vlilach detector pin I8 has a conical collar 26 mounted to slide freely thereon. Thel collar 2T is secured on each pin I8 and its lower end is adapted'to abut the upper end of thev associated conical col1ar26. The downward movement of each pin I8 and-collar 2S is limited by the engagement of'the lower end of the collar 26 with the plate 2B (Fig. 5).
v When either pin I8 is in this position, its collar 26 has depressed the operating member 28of a suitable'micro-switch 29 which is in circuitwith the motor circuit throughwires 30. `Such movement of the switch member v'28 serves to break the motor circuit, thus stopping the machine. Each pin I3 is held in this position by means of a spring clip 32 whichengages a shoulder on the upper end of the conical collar 2S.
During the normal operation of the machine, each conical collar 25 is held elevated sufficiently to release the operating member 28 of the microswitch.
As each carton approaches the detector pins IB and as the forward end thereof passes beneath the lower ends of the pins, the pins are held in the elevated position shown in'FigB'bymeans of arms 34 which engage the undersides of flanges or heads 36 on the upper ends of the pins, the pins extending through elongated slots 38 in the arms. The arms 34 are securedto afrock shaft Ml'which is mounted to turn in apertures in the side frame plates 24. The rock shaft 48 is turned to hold the pins I8 in elevated position by means of a coiled spring 42 secured to the end of a rod 44 which extends through a slot 46 in an arm 48 secured to the rock shaft 4U. The movement of the rod 44 to the left by the spring 42 is limited by the engagement of the arm 48 with one edge of the plate 22.
A rock shaft 50 is mounted to turn in apertures in the side frame plates -24 and has secured thereto two depending arms 52. One of the arms 52 has an upward extension 54 which has its upper end pivotally connected with the end of the rod 44.
The rock shaft 40 has secured to one end thereof (Figs. 1 and 2) an arm 56 to which is pivotally connected the upper end of a rod 58 which has its lower end pivotally connected with an arm or shoe 60. This arm or shoe is secured on a rock shaft 62 that is mounted to turn 1n apertures in the sides of a channel member 64 secured to the machine frame.
With this construction, when the detecting device is set in operative position as shown in Fig. 3, as a closed and sealed carton is being conveyed over the support I2 by means of one of the cross bars I5 of the conveyor chain I4, the upper edge of the front end wall of the carton engages the depending arms 52 and during the continued movement of the carton, the arms are turned so as to ride over the top of the carton. This movement of the arms 52 turns the rock shaft 50 and through the arm extension 54, moves the rod 44 forwardly against the tension of the spring 42. This movement of the rod 44 releases the arm 48 and rock shaft 40 so as to permit the arms 34 to be swung downwardly by gravity and thus release the detector pins I8. The detector pins then drop by gravity into engagement with the top surfaces of the side aps of the carton, the collars 26 being retained in elevated position by the leaf springs 32.
In case the carton has been properly closed, during its continued movement, the detector pins I8 and the arms 52 merely ride over the top of the carton as the carton continues to be fed beneath them. As the front end of the carton approaches the detector pins I8, the associated conveyor cross bar I6 engages the underside of the arm or shoe 60, and swings the shoe n a direction to move the rod 58 upwardly which, as the arms 52 ride off of the rear end of the carton, acts through the arm 56 to turn the rock shaft 40 to restore the arms 34 and 48, the detector pins I8, and the arms 52 to their initial operative position as shown in Fig. 3, the parts being held in this reset position by means of the spring 42 ready to act on the next carton presented thereto.
In case one or the other of the side flaps of a carton has not been properly closed, as the space between the end aps I0 of the carton reaches a position beneath the detector pin on that side of the carton, the pin drops into the position shown in Fig. 5, thus acting through the fixed collar 21 thereon to force the conical collar 26 downwardly to operate the switch member 28 to break the motor circuit and stop the machine.
When the machine is thus stopped, the detector pins and conical collars 26 may be raised by hand so as to permit removal of the carton or proper closing thereof by hand, the circuit connections (not shown) enabling this to be done without starting the machine. With the detector pins and the conical collars 26 thus elevated to the position shown in Fig. 3, the main starting switch (not shown) of the machine may be operated to again throw the machine into operation. After the defective carton is removed and the machine is again thrown into operation, the succeeding cross bar I6 by engagement with the shoe 60 resets the detecting device (Fig. 3) as the next carton is presented thereto.
As will be evident to those skilled in the art, my invention permits various modifications without departing from the spirit thereof or the scope of the appended claims.
