  • Patent number: 4781215
    Abstract: A rotary set on a shaft fluid power coupling which may be used on a package wrapping machine is disclosed. The coupling is shown in FIG. 14 of the drawings.The coupling has a first member having a central bore through which a rotary main shaft passes, and is characterized by a face which lies in a plane perpendicular to the shaft which has a cylindrical annular groove therein. A passage within said first member permits fluid to flow to said annular groove. The coupling has a second member which rotates with respect to said first member, and has a face which lies in a plane perpendicular to the main shaft axis of rotation. The second member also has a cylindrical annular extension which extends into said first member cylindrical annular groove. Fluid is passed from the annular space formed between said annular groove and said annular extension to a second member second face which has a fluid passage way connecting means.

  • Patent number: 4283903
    Abstract: A package wrapping machine which has a frame supporting a power driven rotary horizontal shaft with a turret plate member on the end of the shaft supporting spaced clamp banks, a positioning blade is placed between the said clamp banks for positioning the package components prior to clamping, a stack of package components is clamped between the clamp banks by fluid power cylinders on the turret plate moving one clamp bank toward the other. The end of an elastoplastic wrapping or web extending from a clamp roll on the frame is moved under one clamp bank by insertion of the packages to be wrapped into position.
