- FIG. 5 BAG-OPENING APPARATUS Filed sept. 12, 1967 v sheets-sheet 1 INVENTOR. RICHARD E KIPERS FIG. 2 BY 2 Sheets-Sheet v2 Fied sept. 12. 1967 93M les FIG. 5
- the rotating turret carries the opened bags successively beneath hoppers which dispense the goods to be bagged into them.
- the dispensing apparatus illustrated is conventional and takes the opened bags olf the turret and holds them open while being filled.
- This invention relates to packaging machines, and more particularly to apparatus for opening bags that are to be filled by machine.
- Machines which automatically weigh and package produce in bags.
- One such machine is manufactured by the Baker Machinery Company of Kennewick, Wash., and is known as the Weigh-O-Matic. It has a plurality of loading funnels or hoppers traveling continuously in a closed path. Mounted beneath each funnel are two pairs of jaws, for holding opened ybags while the bags are being filled from the funnels.
- the jaws hold a bag open beneath the funnel, while produce is fed through the funnel into the bag.
- a weighing scale is associated with each funnel to measure and indicate the Weight of the produce introduced into the bag. After the bag has been properly filled it is removed from the machine and sealed.
- a major disadvantage of feeding bags manually to the jaws of such a machine is that personnel must be hired to attend the machine. Furthermore, there is always a chance that an operator will be injured when he or she inserts an open bag into the jaws beneath a funnel. Moreover, the rate at which bags can be fed manually to the machine depends upon the skill of the operator, and may vary considerably over a period of time and for different operators.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a bag opener and feeder which can be readily connected to, and driven by a packaging machine of the type described.
- a further object of this invention is to provide for a machine of the type described a novel bag-opening and feeding apparatus, which can readily and easily be loaded with a large supply of bags so as to permit almost uninterrupted operation of the packaging machine.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a conventional packaging machine, such as the Baker machine referred to above, and of a bag-feeding mechanism therefor made in accordance with one embodiment of this invention.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged, fragmentary, generally sectional view taken along the line 2-2 in FIG. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows, parts however being shown in elevation;
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary front elevational view of the packaging machine with parts thereof cut away, and showing a pair of its hoppers in their elevated or bag-releasing positions, and another funnel or hopper lowered into bag-filling position;
- FIG. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view taken along the line 4-4 in FIG. 2 looking in the direction of the arrows;
- FIG. 5 is a fragmentary Sectional view, on a still further enlarged scale, taken along the line 5-5 in FIG. 4 looking in the direction of the arrows;
- FIG. 6 is a fragmentary front elevational view of the upper end of one of the bags, which may be used on this apparatus.
- 10 designates a conventional packaging machine, such as the Baker machine, and comprising a frame 14 supported in conventional manner on Wheels 15, one of Which is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- a plurality of pivotal loading funnels or hoppers 12 are mounted on frame 14 by means of an endless chain 18 for travel in a closed path above the frame.
- Connected to each hopper 12 for movement therewith above the frame 14 is a weighing scale 16.
- the hoppers are pivoted, by means not here shown specically, to move into and out of bag-loading position.
- the chain carrying the tunnels and scales is driven in the direction of arrows 19 by a plurality of sprockets, one of which is shown at 20 in FIG. 1 as being fixed to a vertical driveshaft 22 (FIGS. l and 2), which is rotatably mounted on frame 14.
- a further sprocket 23 (FIG. 2) is fixed on shaft 22 and is connected by a chain (not illustrated) to a conventional motor (not illustrated).
- each hopper 12 Mounted beneath each hopper 12 for pivotal movement therewith, and independently thereof, are two pairs of jaws 24 and 26 (FIGS. 2 and 3).
- cam roller follower 30 Rotatably mounted in each 0f a pair of spaced, U- shaped -brackets 28, which extend downwardly from each hopper 12 below the jaws 24 and 26, is a cam roller follower 30.
- a stationary cam track 32 Mounted on the front of frame 14 for engagement by the followers 30, as the hoppers 12 move with chain 18 in its endless path, is a stationary cam track 32, which may be made out of rigid pipe, tubing, or the like.
- Opposite ends of cam track 32 are bent downwardly as at 33 and 34 (FIG. 3). Intermediate its ends the cam track has a straight, dwell section 35.
- the track is carried on the upper ends of a pair of spaced, parallel, tubular legs 36. At their lower ends legs 36 are adjustably mounted in sleeves 37 (FIG.
- each hopper 12 is disposed in a bag-loading position in which it is horizontal (for example, the position of the hopper shown at the right-hand side of FIG. 3).
- its leading follower 30 (right-hand follower as illustrated in FIG. 3) engages the riser section 33 of the cam track 32, thereby causing the hopper to be pivoted vertically to a tilted, bag-releasing position, as illustrated for example by the two hoppers 12 shown at the left of FIG. 3 and by the single hopper shown in FIG. 2.
- its associated inner jaws 24 are moved toward one another by conventional means (not illustrated) until they are spaced from the associated outer jaws 26.
- a bag-opening and feeding device 42 constructed according to the present invention and comprising a two-legged table or stand 44, which is supported on a pair of wheels 43 (only one of which is shown in FIG. 2), and which is adjustably connected by a rod 45 to the packaging machine frame 14.
- Rod 45 which is rectangular in cross section, is xed at one end to the stand 44, and is slidably adjustable at its opposite end in a guide 46, which is secured to the side of frame 14.
- a set screw 47 in bracket 46 engages the rod 45 releasably to secure it against movement in the bracket.
- a Vertical shaft 54 Rotatably mounted adjacent its lower end in spaced bearings 49 and 50 carried by vertically-spaced shelves 51 and 52, respectively, of the stand 44, is a Vertical shaft 54.
- a sprocket wheel 56 Secured to shaft 54 between the shelves 51 and 52 is a sprocket wheel 56, which is connected by a chain 57 to a further sprocket 58, which is secured to the lower end of shaft 22 on the frame 14.
- Chain 57 which is crossed between sprockets 56 and 58 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, is also connected to a further sprocket 59.
- This sprocket is rotatably mounted on a further shaft 60, which is mounted on stand 44 parallel to shaft 54.
- Gpposite ends of shaft 60 are adjustably secured by nuts 61 in arcuate slots 62 formed in the shelves S1 and 52 coaxially of shaft 54, so that when the nuts 61 are loosened, shaft 60 may be shifted in slots 62 to create or take-up slack in chain 57.
- Guard 64 is secured at one end to stand 44, and at its opposite end is slotted as at 65, and is slidably mounted on the side of frame 14 so that it can be adjusted toward or away from shaft 22, when stand 44 is adjusted relative to frame 14.
- Shaft 54 extends upwardly through one end of a plenum or fan housing 96, which is secured on top of stand 44.
- a fan 97 is mounted in the opposite end of this housing for rotation by a motor 98, that is mounted beneath the upper shelf 52 of the stand 44. Fan 97 draws air into housing 96 through an opening 99 therein.
- housing 96 Secured to shaft 54 above housing 96 are two, axially spaced spiders ⁇ 66, each of which has a plurality of angularly spaced, radial spokes 67. These spokes are secured at their outer ends to the inner surface of a rotatable tube or sleeve 68, which surrounds shaft 54 coaxially thereof, and which projects at its lower end into the top of housing 96.
- a disc-shaped plate 72 Secured to the top of the tube 68 coaxially thereof is a disc-shaped plate 72, which has a central opening therethrough that registers with the bore of the tube 68.
- a dome-shaped cover or cap 70 is secured around its marginal edge to the periphery of the plate 72 to form thereover a chamber 74.
- the cap 70 and plate 72 have registering openings or notches 76 and 78, respectively, to provide six ports which communicate with the chamber 74.
- bracket 80 (FIGS. 2 and 5), Radially spaced inwardly from brackets 80 are six further brackets 82 (FIGS. 2 and 4), which project downwardly from the plate 72 at equi-angularly spaced points thereabout to register with the outer brackets 80.
- bracket 80 Radially spaced inwardly from brackets 80 are six further brackets 82 (FIGS. 2 and 4), which project downwardly from the plate 72 at equi-angularly spaced points thereabout to register with the outer brackets 80.
- a pusher plate 83 Mounted between each pair of registering brackets 80 and 82 for reciprocation radially of tube 68 is a pusher plate 83.
- Each plate 83 is secured to the forward ends of a pair of rods 84 that are slidable in spaced apertures in each -bracket 82.
- Each plate 83 is urged radially outwardly by springs 85, which surround the rods 84 between each plate 83 and the associated bracket 82.
- springs 85 Secured to the rear end of each rod 84 is a nut 86, which limits the outward movement of the rod and its associated plate 83.
- each pusher plate 83 Removably and slidably mounted in a pair of spaced -apertures 88 in each pusher plate 83 are the legs 89 of a U-shaped, bag-supporting wicket 90 (FIG. 5).
- the closed end of each wicket 90 is removably seated on the upper surface of a narrow, lateral ledge 92 which projects from the inside wall of the associated bracket 30 at the lower end thereof.
- Each wicket 90 is adapted to support a plurality of bags B, as shown for example by broken lines in FIGS. 2 and 5.
- the rear wall of each bag extends slightly above its front wall as denoted at 102 (FIG. 6 ⁇ and contains a pair of spaced openings 103 (FIG. 6) for accommodating along spaced, parallel lines 104 between these openings and the upper edge of the flap.
- Bags are loaded on a wicket by removing the closed end of the wicket from its ledge 92, withdrawing its legs from the associated pusher plate 83 and inserting them through the registering openings 103 in the upper ends of a stack of bags B, reinserting the wicket legs in the pusher plate so that the latter engages the back of the stack of bags, and then reseating the closed end of the wicket on the ledge 92 of the associated bracket 80.
- An arcuate leaf spring 93 (FIGS. 2 and 5) is secured to, and projects downwardly from, each pusher plate 83 to engage the back of a stack of bags B.
- Each spring 93 is connected by a chain 94 to the tube 68 to limit the outward movement of the lower end of the spring.
- motor 98 drives fan 97 so that airis blown thereby into the bottom of tube 68, and upwardly into chamber 74, where it is directed radially outwardly by the curved inner surface of the cap 70 toward the six ports formed by the registering notches 76 and 78 in the marginal edges of cap 70 and plate 72.
- the air blown downwardly through these ports causes the outermost bag B at each of the six stations to be blown open as illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the motor (not illustrated) which drives shaft 22, is energized by conventional means and through chain 57 rotates the shaft 54. Because chain 57 is crossed, shaft 54 rotates oppositely to shaft 22, or in the direction indicated by the arrow 106 in FIG. l. Shaft 54 in turn rotates the turntable 72, and the cap 70 secured thereto. This rotational movement is synchronized with the advance of the hoppers 12 across the front of the machine 10, so that each of the six groups of bags suspended beneath the turntable 72 registers one after another with successive hc-ppers 12 at the point where each hopper begins to tilt downwardly after passing the cam 32.
- each funnel 12 As the hoppers 12 carry the bags B around toward the rear end of machine 10, produce, or the like, is fed into the upper end of each funnel 12, and is guided thereby into the bag B gripped therebeneath.
- the bag is automatically weighed by the associated scale 16, and is thereafter removed, when the hopper passes a further cam 32 (not illustrated), which can be located at any desired point around frame 14, or, when the hopper finally has traveled far enough around the machine once again to engage the riser section 33 of the illustrated cam 32.
- the hopper is pivoted upwardly, and its jaws 24 begin to retract toward one another7 and away from the jaws 26, until they reach the positions illustrated by the jaws 24 on the two hoppers shown at the left in FIG. 3. These jaws are then ready to grip a new bag B as described above.
- the novel bag-feeding mechanism disclosed herein can be operated completely automatically, and as a consequence eliminates the need for manually feeding bags to the gripping jaws of the hoppers of a packaging machine.
- the six stations supporting the bags B can lbe loaded or reloaded within two or three minutes with up to six thousand bags.
- the lines of perforations 104 in the upper lip of each bag prevent any undesirable ripping of the bag, when it is pulled from its supporting wicket 90.
- the air which is blown downwardly through the registering port 76, 78 tends to blow the upper end of the outermost bag rearwardly beneath the associated bracket 80, so that the jaws 24 on a descending hopper may not properly enter and grip the bag.
- the springs 93 prevent this by pushing outwardly at their lower ends on the rear of each stack of bags, thus preventing the stacks from pivoting inwardly beneath plate 72.
- the lower edges of the springs 93 are beveled or rounded to prevent damage to the bags B engaged thereby.
- frames 14 and 44 are mounted on wheels, they can be easily moved from one place to another. This also expedites the adjustment of frame 14 relative to frame 44, when the set screw 47 is released from locking engagement with rod 45.
- Apparatus for opening and feeding bags comprismg a turntable mounted for rotation about a vertical axis,
- said directing means comprising a cover member mounted over said turntable to form a chamber betwen said cover member and turntable,
- said turntable having therein a plurality of angularly spaced ports, which register with said stations,
- said cover member being operative to direct air from said chamber through said ports, and into said outermost bags
- said connecting means comprising a tubular member connected at its upper end to a central opening in said turntable coaxially thereof, and connected adjacent its lower end to said source for conveying air upwardly therefrom to said chamber,
- said cover member being dome-shaped to direct air in said chamber radially outwardly and downwardly to said ports
- said one member being connected to said turntable to rotate the latter in response to the rotation of Said shaft
- a plurality of hoppers mounted on said second stand for travel about a second vertical axis
- said turntable is mounted to move one of its stations into registry with one of said hoppers during the movement of the latter to its lowered position
- said bag suspending means includes resilient means urging the bags at each station radially outwardly to that the open end of the outermost bag at said one station is disposed Ibeneath the jaws on said one hopper during the downward movement thereof,
- Apparatus for opening and feeding bags comprising a turntable mounted for rotation a-bout a vertical axis,
- a plurality of hoppers mounted on said stand for movement in a closed path substantially tangential to said turntable
