US Classification:

156352, 156519, 156515, 156552, 156251, 156302, 156196, 156265, 156252, 156567, 493214, 493215, 493927, 493343, 493372, 493383, 493393, 493394, 383 63

Abstract:

An apparatus for applying strip fastener elements or zippers to web material includes an unwind stand holding a roll of film material, an infeed dancer arrangement of rollers, a zipper apparatus which conditions zipper material, cuts zippers and delivers zippers to a zipper feed apparatus. The zipper feed apparatus loads zippers into a sealing platen of a rotating turret. The rotating turret carries the zippers successively to a position adjacent a surface of the film and a seal bar presses the film to successive zippers to seal the zippers thereto while a new zipper is being received in a sealing platen of the turret at a loading station at a rotational position at a distance from the sealing station. The film with zippers attached is drawn downstream of the turret to a rewind dancer roll assembly and thereafter to a rewind stand for winding into a roll of zippered film.

Inventors:

Ronald L. Lotto - Bonduel WI
Ernest H. Teske - Green Bay WI
Peter Hatchell - New Franken WI

Assignee:

FMC Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B65H 2968

US Classification:

271183

Abstract:

Rolls of individual plastic bags are formed on apparatus that overlaps the bags before the bags are fed into the roll to provide a compact roll of individual bags. The apparatus overlaps portions of the bags so that a plurality of bags can be continuously fed into the roll even though the bags are not mechanically connected end-to-end to adjacent bags on the roll.

International Classification:

B65H 3510

US Classification:

11225100

Abstract:

A separator/folder bag machine for developing individual, folded, plastic bags. A pair of high speed separation rollers, actuated by means of a servo motor driven eccentric linkage, engages a continuous plastic web to separate individual plastic bags formed tin the web. A pair of parallel, wide belts, and a pair of similar, overlying belts, engage both sides of the separated bags and transport the bags to a plurality of folding stations. Air jets at selected locations in the folder/separator controllably direct the bags through pairs of nip rolls to fold the bags along predetermined fold lines. Sensors in the folder/separator sense abnormal conditions and deactivate particular fold stations to reject improperly formed bags. A two speed slowdown mechanism at the discharge end of the separator/folder slows the folded bags to facilitate downstream handling. An optional stacker and indexing conveyor automatically stacks predetermined numbers of folded bags, aligns and compresses the bags to form an easily handled stack, and conveys the formed and compressed stack to downstream apparatus for further handling.
