Patent number: 9856044Abstract: A tape closure device for securing the neck of a bag with a tape closure includes an automated control system, a tape feed assembly configured to provide a continuous length of tape and a closure application assembly. The closure application assembly also includes an encoder wheel that outputs to the automated control system a signal representative of the length of tape provided to the closure application assembly from the tape feed assembly during the closure cycle. The tape closure device further includes a motorized cutting member that is connected to the automated control system and configured for selective activation by the automated control system in response to the signal provided by the encoder wheel. The selective activation of the motorized cutting member allows the tape closure device to create a tape closure that based on the length of tape drawn into the closure application assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Burford CorporationInventors: Jimmy R. Frazier, Scott Clemons, Jerry Pack

Publication number: 20170112148Abstract: A machine for depositing toppings onto a loaf of dough includes a lower belt assembly, an upper belt assembly and a pair of side belt assemblies. The lower belt assembly includes a lower conveyor belt that rotates in a first direction at a first speed to carry the loaf of dough from an upstream end of the machine to a downstream end of the machine. The upper belt assembly includes an upper conveyor belt that rotates in the first direction. Each of the pair of side belt assemblies includes a side conveyor belt positioned between the lower conveyor belt and the upper conveyor belt. At least one of the side conveyor belts includes a non-vertical portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2016Publication date: April 27, 2017Applicant: Burford CorporationInventors: Bob Mackey, Brian Risch, Scott Clemons
