Title: Innovations by Anthony John Lukasiewicz
Introduction
Anthony John Lukasiewicz is an accomplished inventor based in Howell, MI (US). He holds three patents that showcase his innovative contributions to the field of packaging technology. His work primarily focuses on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of attaching fitments to containers.
Latest Patents
One of Lukasiewicz's latest patents is an apparatus for use in and method of attaching cap-form fitments to containers. This invention involves an applicator that affixes fitments, which include a screw cap on a pour spout, to paperboard cartons. The design features an ultrasonic horn that reciprocates between a retracted position for receiving a fitment and an advanced position for depositing the fitment on the carton’s outer surface. The apparatus includes a duct that provides fluid communication between an air handler and a fitment-holding recess formed in the horn. The air handler can evacuate the duct to retain a fitment by suction while transporting it to be affixed to the container wall. Additionally, the air handler supplies pressurized gas to blow the fitment from the horn before it returns to the retracted position.
Another significant patent by Lukasiewicz involves an off-line, free-standing, parts-orienting and feeding device. In this invention, selected parts are fed by a hopper to a centrifugal or vibratory parts feeder unit, which then discharges the parts to a programmed transferring arrangement. This arrangement includes a slide shuttle unit that alternately receives discharged parts and aligns them with pressurized air passages to blow the parts through selected transfer tubes to pick and placement devices. These devices place the parts one at a time on packaging materials being processed on various packaging machines.
