Patent number: 10807778Abstract: There is disclosed a bag web for packing articles in film bags provided as a contiguous web. At an opening edge, the bag web is provided with peripheral strip areas having holes intended for guide connection with guide means that can retain and guide the bags along a conveyor path through a filling station. The bag items will thus be contiguous along an upper edge, which is used for guiding. The bag webs include the film webs forming opposing front and back sides of the bag and additional film pieces disposed between the flat sides of the bag in order thereby to form side or bottom, or both side and bottom, of the bag. By such a bag web is achieved a particularly simple and rapid filling of the type with stand bottom and with folded side edges.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Schur Technology A/SInventor: Henrik Pape

Patent number: 10189646Abstract: An apparatus and method for distributing articles made by series production is configured to deliver articles to selected storage positions in side-by-side rows of adjacent storage positions for stacked articles in a storage compartment. After selection of a storage position, a transport platform movably mounted on a horizontally movable carriage above the rows is driven to a location above the selected storage position with the platform moved between two possible positions for dispensing articles into the respective rows, an article conveyor on the platform is actuated to transport the article off the platform into the underlying storage position, where it is stacked on top of any previously stacked articles, and the platform is driven back to a start position to receive the next article. The procedure is repeated to distribute subsequent articles to selected storage positions in the storage area.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2016Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: REDDY ICE TECHNOLOGY LLCInventor: Henrik Pape

Publication number: 20180312300Abstract: There is disclosed a bag (101) with a zipper closure and a method for making such a bag. The bag is formed of a first (102) and a second (103) superposed flat side and folded side pieces (104) disposed between the flat sides of the bag and welded to edge areas at the side edges of the flat sides. The bag includes interacting zipper parts (114) in the form of a male part (120) and a female part (119) connected with each their flat side and extending from side edge to side edge. In order to achieve the largest possible opening of the bag, the folded side edges are extending from the bottom edge of the bag to the top edge of the bag. In the side pieces a thinning of material (123) is established in an area next to the areas in the flat sides where the zipper parts are disposed. Thus, the side pieces in the thinned area will have a material thickness enabling the male and female parts to engage each other while at the same time the material of the side pieces is clamped there between.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2016Publication date: November 1, 2018Inventor: Henrik Pape
