Patent number: 8608051Abstract: The hinge-lid pack comprising box part (11) and lid (12) features a polygon-like configuration in the region of its side walls (22, 23), namely having angular wall legs (28, 29) and a narrow, transverse side wall (22, 23). The cross-sectional shape of the hinge-lid pack thus conforms to the contour of a cigarette group as the pack's contents, with the cigarette group having at its edges adjacent to the side walls (22, 23) a marginal transverse row of 2 cigarettes and adjacent thereto a transverse row of 3 cigarettes.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2004Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: FOCKE & Co.

Patent number: 8066109Abstract: A powerful throughput magazine of the ‘first in first out’ type is activated for the handling of diapers (10) or similar objects during the transport from a converter (13) to a packer (14), the diapers being transported as diaper groups (19) through said magazine. The magazine (15) comprises of an endless magazine conveyor (18) having transversely directed bars (20), wherein one diaper group (19) each is disposed between adjacent bars on the magazine conveyor (18) in an upright position. After removing the diapers (10) from the magazine (15), the diaper groups (19) are separated again, and the diapers are individually fed to the packer (14).Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2008Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Focke & Co. (GmbH & Co. KG)Inventors: Gisbert Engel, Henry Buse, Josef Schulte, Björn Brandhorst

Patent number: 7748254Abstract: To test the integrity of packages—cups (11)—a package conveyor (14) is provided, on whose conveying run (17) the cups (11) are positioned at a distance from one another, specifically in a correct formation forming transverse rows (23). In order to form a sealed testing chamber (13) for a group of cups (11) to be tested, a covering hood (19) can be lowered from above onto the package conveyor (14). Together with the covering hood (19), the latter forms a sealed testing chamber (13). A vacuum is produced in the latter, with the consequence that the packages experience deformation, specifically the cups (11) experience deformation of a closure film. Non-sealed cups (11) are identified and separated out.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2005Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Focke & Co. (GmbH & Co. KG)Inventors: Gisbert Engel, Andreas Prahm

Patent number: 7669387Abstract: Transponders are used for identifying objects such as packaging, packaging material or machines and machine elements and are attached to the object to be identified. The transponders contain data which are provided by an electronic write unit and which can be recognized by a read unit. The transponders are provided in a concealed manner on the machines, machine parts, etc. or are embedded in the machine part, for example, inside a recess.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2002Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Focke & Co.

Patent number: 7588143Abstract: A cuboidal cigarette pack of the hinge-lid-box type (10) is enclosed by an outer wrapper made of film. The latter has a tear-open thread (24) which extends obliquely or diagonally in the region of a front wall (14) and rear wall (15) and merges into side walls (16, 17) via arcuate regions. This allows optimum opening and removal of the outer wrapper with the aid of the tear-open thread (24).Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2005Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Focke & Co. (GmbH & Co. KG)Inventors: Heinz Focke, Jurgen Focke, legal representative, Doris Focke, legal representative, Martin Stiller, Gisbert Engel, Karsten Krone

Patent number: 7146777Abstract: For the production of (cigarette) packs of different configurations, for example standard pack (13), round-edged pack (14) or octagonal pack (15), subassemblies and elements of the packaging machine are exchanged and/or uncoupled from the drive. For this purpose, a pack-specific operating element is provided with a drive which has a coupling and/or uncouplable gear-mechanism parts. These, in turn, are assigned operable handling elements which allow adjustment for coupling or uncoupling or removing sub-elements.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2002Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Focke & Co.
