Abstract: A phased split-pitch barrel loader for a packaging machine has a leading loader arm assembly and a trailing loader arm assembly. Each loader arm assembly has a loader arm that carries a loader face on one end and the loader arm is extendable and retractable on guide rails. One loader arm is driven in a downstream direction by a first set of endless chains and the other is driven by a second set of endless chains. One of the endless chains can be advanced or retarded in phase relative to the other to move the loader arms further apart or closer together as they move in the downstream direction. This moves the loader faces further apart or closer together and the loader faces have fingers that interleave when the loader faces are brought together. Thus, a composite loader face having a predetermined area can be formed by moving the loader arm assemblies closer together or farther apart.

Abstract: In a hydraulic tool such as a crimping or cutting tool used by electric utility workers, interchangeability of heads and interchangeability of power units is afforded by connecting a cylinder on the power unit to a receiver on the head. Interlocking lugs allow the head to be secured to the power unit at any selected one of a plurality of rotational positions. A piston and a movable die in the head also have interlocking lugs. To enable the lugs on the piston and movable die to engage simultaneously with the engagement of the lugs on the cylinder and receiver, the piston is secured against rotation by a slotted guide the slots of which receive inwardly protruding pins fixed to the piston. For increased versatility, plural pressure relief valves can be selected by means of a manual selection valve to set the maximum force exerted by the tool.

Abstract: The packaging system forms a transportable container for bulk goods having stretch wrap that is spirally wrapped about a bottom support and bulk goods to define the transportable container. The stretch wrap contacts at least a portion of the bulk goods to squeeze and lock together the bulk goods. During filling, the bottom support of the transportable container lowers as the transportable container is formed to accommodate additional bulk goods. The stretch wrap is prestretched from a non-stretched state to a stretched state prior to disposing the wrap about a slip frame former in the stretched state. The wrap returns to its non-stretched state as it is disengaged from the slip frame former to squeeze and lock together the bulk goods disposed therein. The packaging system results in a transportable container that is optimally packed and shaped for the efficient filling of a truck for shipping.
