Abstract: A machine for forming cardboard boxes of the double-plinth type provides for the supply to the machine of flat punched sheets, already partially glued, intended to constitute the bottom, the side walls and the hinged lid with a first attached plinth of the box, in parallel with the supply of auxiliary punched sheets for defining, after gluing to the bottom of the box, the second plinth of the box itself. The machine forms the box and automatically glues the auxiliary punched sheets to the box itself.

Abstract: A forming assembly for automatic machines for forming boxes from semi-finished flat blanks, comprises a plate support with associated suction means for the semi-finished blanks and a forming mould for the erection of the parts of the semi-finished blank intended to constitute the side walls of the box.The forming mould has simplified longitudinal and transverse forming elements which are adjustable in length, width and height, and the plate support has spring feet supported by modular blocks releasably fixed to the sides of the plate. The plate support also has suction members connectible by a system of external tubing to a vacuum source.
