Abstract: An apparatus for delivering in strip form packaged drinking straws, includes a device for severing the strip on a pivotal drum. The severing device pivots to transfer the individual packed straws to a vacuum cylinder, which is intermittently pivotal to pick up the individualized straws from the drum, and transfer the individual straws to a conveyor section. The conveyor section includes a continuous loop of track having an upper linear section of track and a lower linear section of track. A plurality of pressure arms are connected to the track where, each contains a vacuum holding mechanism adjacent to a free end for retaining the individual straws. The vacuum cylinder is mounted to a slide mechanism which is translatory relative to the upper linear section of the continuous track to position the individual packaged straws on the pressure arms of the conveyor mechanism.

Abstract: A machine for dispensing liquids, especially for filling cartons at a higher rate of speed, is disclosed. The machine includes three bellows arranged in vertical alignment, with upper and lower sleeves interposed between the bellows. The discharge nozzle is located below the lowest bellows. The upper sleeve moves axially relative to the nozzle to control the opening and closing of the discharge valve. The lower sleeve also moves axially to control the filling and recharging of the bellows directly above the discharge nozzle. The method of operating the components in timed relation to achieve effective and efficient carton filling, as well as draining and cleaning, is disclosed.

Abstract: A container having a top wall being made at least partly of a support material and being coated. The container has an opening device with a puncture line, along which the pouring spout can be torn open. The improved pouring spout having an improved impermeability to gases of the container, and according to the invention having at least at one location of the puncture line a grip means and a tear-off means made of plastic being attached inside and outside to the support material. The tear-off means is preferably molded into a hole in the top wall to have a cross-sectionally rivet-like shape and has a grip means.

Abstract: Described is a fluid pack comprising a tube which is formed by a longitudinal sealing seam and at the ends of which are disposed a bottom (5) and a top (6) of which the top (6) comprises thermoplastic material without a carrier material, is injected on the tube (1) along the top edge thereof and has a pouring opening (7). The tube (1) comprises cardboard which is coated with plastic material on both sides. The bottom (5) is quadrangular and is formed from the folded-over tube (1) of the pack, in the form of a fold closure. A portion (3) of the tube wall which adjoins the top edge of the tube (1) is folded on to itself and joined to provide a double-wall base strip (4) which is triangular from the side.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for production of containers for packaging liquids. Plastic-coated supporting material is drawn as a web from a supply roll in a first direction along a web path. At a first position, the web is cut into sheets. The sheets are conveyed along a transport path in a second direction transverse to the web path. At a second position, each sheet is partially shaped into a tube, and an edge of the sheet is folded over and sealed. At a third position, shaping is completed to cause the side edges of the sheet to join, and the tube side is sealed. A plastic lid is molded onto the top of each tube, and the bottom end is folded and sealed into a quadrilangular bottom.
