Abstract: A collapsible-box gluing machine for the production of collapsible boxes from blanks has a folding station for folding blanks, a subsequently arranged transfer station and a collecting and compression device, wherein the flat-lying folded collapsible boxes are pressed for the bonding of the adhesive. The transfer station has at least one pair of conveyor belts as a conveying device, which consists of a lower belt and an upper belt. In order to transfer the blanks with precisely positioned side flaps to the collecting and compression device, the transfer station has a variable ratio transmission to drive the upper conveyor belts at a higher speed than the lower conveyor belts.

Abstract: A gluing machine has, for transporting the blanks therethrough a roller belt mounted upon a roller cheek and an upper belt mounted upon a roller rail, both the roller cheek and roller rail being shiftable transversely to the direction in which the blanks are conveyed through the machine. The roller cheek is coupled to the roller rail by an endless cable or belt which has a lower loop extending transversely below the roller cheek and an upper loop above the roller rail. The roller cheek is rigidly connected to one strand of the lower loop while one strand of the upper loop is clamped to the roller rail.
