The present invention relates to the forming of a container by folding a cardboard sheet with at least vertical flaps, using a forming device and a forming method. Such a device comprises an upstream conveyor driving said cardboard sheet in a direction of travel, a downstream conveyor, means for folding the vertical flaps, said folding means being situated symmetrically about said upstream conveyor, and is characterized in that, on each side, said folding means comprise a pair of downstream and upstream pushers forming a gripper, said pushers being actuated jointly from an open position toward a closed position of folding said corresponding vertical flaps, a support for each gripper, said support being mobile in said direction of travel.

Device and method for forming a container by folding

A device for forming a container by folding a cardboard sheet having a lid and notably a tab. The forming device comprising a conveyor driving said cardboard sheet in a direction of travel and a device for folding over said lid. The folding-over device comprises a pressing surface for pressing on said lid, and the pressing surface is configured to move from an initial position toward a deployed position of folding said lid, and vice versa. The said pressing surface is mobile in said direction of travel, and comprises an endless belt motorized in said direction of travel.

Disclosed is an assembly () for fastening, with fluid connection, a mold bottom to a holder (), in which the mold bottom, of principal axis (O), is able to be removably fastened to a plate () forming an interface between the mold bottom and the holder (), the assembly () including at least one locking device and a fluid connection device, respectively placed between the plate () and the holder (), characterized in that the movement of a first locking element () and a first connecting element () is coupled via a moveable part () so that together they form a moveable element.
