  • Patent number: 5768861
    Abstract: A bag forming, filling, and sealing machine (10) for producing bag packages (1) has a tube forming device (7) comprised of a forming shoulder (18) and a forming tube (19) connected to it. In order to permit a bag forming, filling, and sealing machine (10) of this kind to produce bag packages (1) out of a single sheet of packaging material (15), with two longitudinal seams (11, 12) and two lateral seams (13, 14), the forming tube (19) has two sections (24, 25) connected to each other. The one section (24) connected to the forming tube (19) is inclined in relation to the incoming sheet of packaging material (15) by an angle (.alpha.). In addition, an element (28) for forming the one longitudinal seam (11) is connected to the forming tube (19). The tube forming device (17) cooperates with two diametrically opposed longitudinal seam sealers (33, 34) and a lateral seam sealer (41).

  • Patent number: 5505040
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for producing, filling, and sealing bags out of a tube including a molding tube and a traveling inner tube that has a nozzle attached to it, against whose base a square bottom for a bag is folded. The nozzle is moved with a grasping device at the same speed as the feed velocity of the tube and parallel to it. The grasping device is disposed on a transverse seam jaw housing, which for its part can be moved along the feed path of the tube. Using the apparatus according to the invention and the process applicable to it, square bottoms can be folded in bags during a continuous feed of the tube, which gives rise to an especially high output of the apparatus.
