Patent number: 7455166Abstract: A supply tube has a conveying channel of a substantially rectangular cross-section formed therein for successively supplying tablets, pills, capsules, dragées and similar products from a reservoir under the effect of gravity to a receptacle. The conveying channel has several successively arranged sections adjoining one another, wherein successive sections are inclined alternately in different directions with respect to a longitudinal plane of the supply tube thereby enclosing an angle of less than 45° with the longitudinal plane, and wherein the cross-section of the successive sections is distorted by an angle of up to about 90° around the longitudinal plane.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2006Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Uhlmann Pac-Systeme GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Martin Seiffert, Harald Litke

Patent number: 7430841Abstract: An apparatus for transferring a plurality of objects from a pickup station to blisters of an adjacent passing foil has a stationary support adjacent the foil and pickup station and defining a support axis and an arm pivotal on the support about the support axis and extending radially from the support axis. A slide shiftable on the arm radially of the support axis defines a slide axis about which a suction grab can pivot. The suction grab is adapted to pick up and drop a plurality of the objects. First and second drives have motors on the support and serve for pivoting the arm about the support axis between a pickup position with the grab over the pickup station and a deposit position with the grab over the passing foil and for shifting the slide along the arm.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: Uhlmann Pac-Systeme GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Martin Seiffert

Patent number: 7389632Abstract: Small objects are loaded into blisters of a passing packaging film in a fill station of a packaging machine. An apparatus for distributing the objects to the blisters has a pair of generally parallel rods extending along respective axes and having inner and outer ends. Respective guides support the rods for movement parallel to their axes, and a bar extends transversely between the outer ends. An actuator mechanism periodically synchronously rotating the rods. Respective couplings between each of the outer ends and the bar transversely shifting the bar relative to the rods on rotation of the rods.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2007Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: Uhlmann Pac-Systeme GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Martin Seiffert, Harald Litke, Diana Zugenmaier, Roland Koch

Publication number: 20070271882Abstract: An apparatus for packaging small identical objects in respective pockets of a package strip where the pockets are in a succession of identical arrays has a conveyor extending and displaceable from an upstream loading end to a downstream transfer end and having a plurality of sections each formed with an array of pockets dimensioned to hold a respective one of the objects. The array of each section corresponds to at least two of the arrays of the package strip interleaved with each other so that each section can hold a number of the objects equal to at least twice what one of the arrays of the package strip can hold. The objects are fed to the conveyer at the upstream end ordered such that at the transfer station there is one of the objects in each of the pockets.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2007Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventors: Harald Litke, Wolfgang Krahl, Markus Habdank, Martin Seiffert
