Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing custom-sized foam braced packaging. The apparatus includes means for automatically adjusting the assembler to meet the particular needs of individual package sizes without the requirement for retooling being imposed. Rails are formed from foam and an outer wrap or covering which are then mitered to define a package shape. Packaging material is then adhered to the rail frame to complete the package.

Abstract: A six-walled container for protecting electronic goods contained therein from damage due to electrostatic discharge, which container has four side walls and a pair of top and bottom closure walls formed by flaps of said side walls and an electrostatic discharge pad having a central portion on one side of one of said closure walls and a pair of end portions extending between the flaps of that one closure wall to the opposite side of that same closure wall.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inserting pouches into boxes or lining boxes with pouches is disclosed. Rather than manually line boxes, the apparatus takes a pouch from a horizontal stack of pouches, opens the pouch over an open box, partially inflates the pouch, and, inserts the pouch into the box. A vertically reciprocating mandrel is included with tucker fingers to fold the bag's mouth over the outside perimeter of the box thus presenting a line box ready to receive a product.

Abstract: A bag is put on a forming block while air streams are blown out through air holes of the forming block, then air streams are sucked through the air holes into the block so that the bag is attracted to the exterior of the block, and while this condition is kept, an outer packaging box is put on the block with the bag held therebetween. Subsequently, air streams are again blown out through the air holes to inflate the bag, and then the inflated bag and the outer packaging box are removed together form the forming blick. In this way, the bag is inserted in crease-free condition into the box.

Abstract: The invention relates to process and apparatus for the automatic insertion of prefabricated box-shaped bags made of flexible packaging material into large box-shaped containers with a capacity of more than 100 liters. The bags are suspended on rolling carriages in such a way that two opposing sides are extended at the bag edge, the rolling carriage equipped in this way is transported to a transfer point where one side of the bag is received by a pulling device, and as a result of movement of the pulling device the bag is extended fully at its upper edge. Subsequently, the bag is received by a spreading device and introduced by way of the spreading device into a large container. The edges at the upper margin of the bag may be cut to form marginal side flaps for transfer into appropriate retaining devices on the large container.

Abstract: A slip case package for small articles includes a sleeve member and a drawer being slideably mounted therein. The sleeve member is formed by first providing a blank of relatively lightweight cardboard with graphic designs formed thereon. The blank is formed into a partially assembled sleeve portion and reinforcing member is inserted therein. The reinforced sleeve member has sufficient rigidity to act as a slip case package sleeve, but the graphics may be provided thereon with machine operations and with perfect alignment.

Abstract: A bag inserter machine having pinch rolls for automatically unwinding a perforated bag roll one bag length, bag opening and separating assemblies to cooperatively grippingly engage the leading bag of the bag roll and separating it therefrom along perforations and then opening the bag, an inserter assembly movable into the opened bag for moving the opened bag into a case on a conveyer and cuff the upper portion of the bag over the upwardly extending case top flaps, and controls to stop a case on a conveyer in a position to have a bag inserted therein, stop the drive to the pinch rolls after unwinding the bag roll a bag length, then the bag opening and separating assemblies to grippingly engage the bag to separate it from the bag roll, then open the bag, thereafter operate the inserter assembly to insert and cuff the bag and retract the inserter assembly and then allow the conveyer to move another case to have a bag inserted therein, and automatically continue the cycle of operation.

Abstract: The packaging container consists of a mechanically stabilizing case of paper, cardboard and/or metal with inserted sealing liner, which sealing liner is in the form of a plastic bubble with a neck part shaped from it and extending above the case. Both elements are manufactured separately and coupled together with the aid of an adapter cover. This is lockingly connected with the neck of the sealing liner and adapted to an opening in the case, into which it can lock. It is slipped over the sealing liner preform before the stretching and inflating of the liner and is secured against shifting by means of fixing cams.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for making a container comprising an outer container of cardboard or similar stiff material and a lining of plastic or other easily formable and preferably gas-sealing material which lining is provided in the said outer container and which at the side of the container to be opened exposes an even single layer of lining material, and which is filled from and closed at the opposite end thereof.The container can be used for packing of any types of goods, but it is in particular suited for packing of compressed and/or evacuated goods of the type which is to be packed hermetically sealed. It is however to be understood that the container can as well be used for packing of any other solid or liquid product.

Abstract: Boxes which are open at the top and partly open at the bottom are transported by a chain conveyor past assembling, filling and sealing stations. At the assembling station, each box receives a bag which is open at the top and closed at the bottom, and each box further receives a platform which is inserted through its partially open bottom and extends to such a level as to maintain the open top of the respective bag above the open top of the box. Successive containers consisting of boxes and empty bags are then advanced to the filling station where the bags receive metered quantities of pulverulent, granular or other material, and the thus filled containers are advanced to the sealing station where the tops of the filled bags are readily sealable because they project upwardly beyond the open tops of the corresponding boxes.

Abstract: An apparatus and process for the production of double wall containers is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a single wall container feeding station, a container blank feeding station and an erecting and telescoping station. In accordance with the disclosed process, flat carton blanks are fed in timed sequence from a blank feeding station into an erecting station where the blank is erected. Previously formed single wall containers are aligned in a feeding station with the erected blank and then telescoped into the erected blank with the aid of a plurality of oscillating guide arms disposed between the single wall container and the erected blank. Thereafter, the completed double wall container is ejected from the erecting and telescoping station.
