Abstract: An apparatus and associated method for embossing at least one fold line in a substantially rigid plastic material for use in collapsible folding box with angle windows is disclosed, and the apparatus has a roll of plastic material, a heating zone for heating a length of the roll fed plastic material, an embossing zone located downstream of the heating zone for forming at least one fold line in the heated plastic material, a punching zone for intermittently forming cutout portions in the plastic material, a takeup device for creating a variable length slack in the plastic material for providing the continuous movement of the plastic material through the heating zone and the embossing zone and the intermittent movement of the plastic material through the punching zone, a cross-cutter to cut the plastic material at the punched holes, a suction roll to convey the cut plastic material for connection to a glue-coated cardboard box blank.

Abstract: A method for obtaining wrapper sheet blanks from a continuous web having opposite parallel edges, wherein each blank is composed of first and second portions, the first portion having the shape of a rectangle and the second portion having the shape of a non-rectangular parallelogram joined to the first portion along a common imaginary edge.

Abstract: The invention relates to process and apparatus for the automatic insertion of prefabricated box-shaped bags made of flexible packaging material into large box-shaped containers with a capacity of more than 100 liters. The bags are suspended on rolling carriages in such a way that two opposing sides are extended at the bag edge, the rolling carriage equipped in this way is transported to a transfer point where one side of the bag is received by a pulling device, and as a result of movement of the pulling device the bag is extended fully at its upper edge. Subsequently, the bag is received by a spreading device and introduced by way of the spreading device into a large container. The edges at the upper margin of the bag may be cut to form marginal side flaps for transfer into appropriate retaining devices on the large container.

Abstract: Packing paper receiving and folding method and apparatus are disclosed. The method has the steps of receiving and supporting a packing paper through an opening portion defined between suction arms of a suction ring; moving an arbor into the suction ring accompanying packing paper folded in a U-shape through the opening portion; effecting body folding of the packing paper using the arbor as a core member; and effecting flaps folding within the suction ring while properly maintaining the state of the body folding. The apparatus has a rotatable suction ring including a bracket, a pair of suction arms pivotable with respect to the bracket, the other ends of the suction arms defining an opening portion therebetween so that an arbor can enter therethrough, folding claws mounted on the insides of the suction arms and a bottom clamp positioned in the opening portion; a U-clamp provided within the suction ring for body folding; and a seaming clamp approaching to and departing from the arbor.

Abstract: A packing paper receiving and folding apparatus is disclosed. It has a rotatable suction ring including a bracket, a pair of suction arms axially supported at their one ends in a pivotable manner with respect to the bracket, the other ends of the suction arms defining an opening portion between them so that an arbor can enter from there, folding claws mounted on the inside of at least one of the suction arms, and a bottom clamp positioned in the opening portion to complete the suction ring having substantially an annular outer periphery; a U-clamp provided within the suction ring for body folding, a main presser for pressing an inner bag provided within the suction ring in such a manner as to be openable; and a seaming clamp approaching to and departing from the arbor.

Abstract: Discrete sheets of separator material for use in dry cells are introduced tangentially into an annular clearance between the cylindrical internal surface of an outer tool and the cylindrical peripheral surface of an inner tool, and the inner tool is rotated about its axis while one or more spring-biased rollers urge the sheet in the clearance against its peripheral surface so that the sheet is converted into an inner tube which tends to expand radially and is introduced into an outer tube in response to axial shifting of the inner tool. A shoulder between the inner tool and a support for the inner tool pushes one end face of the inner tube from the clearance, and the inner tube is free to expand radially into contact with the internal surface of the respective outer tube in response to complete expulsion from the outer tool.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a plastic liner bag from a roll of plastic sleeve material and inserting the liner bag snugly within and over the upper edges of a bulk container.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a unique hazardous waste transport container liner is provided wherein an extruded plastic sheet is folded into a "W" shape and heat sealed at one end, then cut to a length to fit the transport container and then heat sealed at the cut end of the sheet.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a paper container, where a parallelepiped inner body in the form of a box having no top panel board from a first blank sheet of corrugated board or card board is first fashioned. An outer body by packaging the inner body with a second blank sheet in such a manner that said outer body is in close contact with the outside of the inner body is then made. Finally, a continuous cut in the outer body is made to divide the outer body into the upper part and the lower part so that said upper part of the outer body can be detachably mounted on the inner body.
