An improved packing device is disclosed which features an upwardly biased bag table for receiving a stack of plastic bags. A press member holds down the uppermost of the stack of bags at its mouth end. A pickup device is brought into engagement with the upper surface of the uppermost bag of the stack as the pressure of the uppermost bag against the press member is momentarily reduced, so that the pickup member is enabled to pull out the top surface of the bag from under the press member. The lower surface of the uppermost bag is then retained by the press member so that a blower supplying air to the end of the mouth of the bag to open it fully does not cause the bag to be blown away.

Packing device

A vacuum packaging method and apparatus for packaging solid objects such as food products of various shapes automatically. A web of tubular plastic film is supplied from a roll and drawn over an opening core which opens the plastic film into a rectangular shape. The film is then drawn over the object to be packaged and cut to a predetermined length. In one embodiment, the front end of the film is then sealed and the object urged towards the sealed end. In another embodiment, both ends of the film are left open at this point. The object with the film positioned therearound is transferred to a vacuum chamber. Prior to the chamber being evacuated, tension is applied to the film so as to prevent the formation of creases.

Automatic continuous vacuum packaging method and apparatus

A solid material packing method and apparatus are disclosed wherein the plastic film bags are transported from a storage location to a packing location by a pivotable taking member having adhesive surfaces at its free end. The taking member includes an elongate adhesive tape which can be advanced between the transporting of successive bags to renew the adhesive surfaces. A solid material supplying device comprises a pair of conduit-shaped members which are movable toward and away from one another, the conduit-shaped members moving away from one another as they move toward the bag at said packing location to thereby hold open the bag for insertion of a solid material.

Solid material packing method and machine

The present invention relates to an automatic parison feed system for tubular plastic parisons. The parisons are fed, one at a time, from a parison feed unit into a parison loading unit. The parison loading unit, which holds a parison vertically, is positioned above a shuttered aperture in the upper wall of a heating furnace. The shutter of this aperture is opened as the parison loading unit descends vertically to a predetermined position within the furnace. The parison loading unit releases its parison, which falls onto a vertical parison pin mounted on an endless parison conveyor moving within the furnace. The parison loading unit is then raised from the furnace and the shutter is closed.

Automatic parison feed system

An article selection apparatus is disclosed having a first conveying device for conveying an article along a path and a second conveying device for receiving the article at an entrance end spaced apart by a predetermined distance from a conveying end of the first conveying device and for conveying the received article, wherein the first conveying device has a gap extending along the conveying path to the conveying end thereof, and a width of the gap is made smaller than the predetermined distance from the conveying end of the first conveying device to the entrance of the second conveying device.

Article selection apparatus

A multilayered hollow container formed by direct blow-molding, comprising at least one layer of thermoplastic polyester and at least one layer of polycarbonate, said layer of thermoplastic polyester and said layer of polycarbonate being laminated without any adhesive.

Multilayered hollow container

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for simultaneously cutting and supporting an extruded parison by an upper and lower pair of chucks, and for stretching by a preselected amount the cut parison supported between the upper and lower pair of chucks as the cut parison is delivered to a mold, whereby the cut parison is of a preselected length and outer diameter when it is delivered to the mold.

Apparatus for delivering parisons of preselected length and diameter

Molten first and second resins are directed to flow in a two-layer and confluent state along a tubular passage formed between a torpedo and a die structure from the nose tip of the torpedo and then along a divergently expanding path along the conical nose of the torpedo respectively as the outer and inner layers, which are thus rendered into uniform thin layers and then extruded from the die as a two-layer laminated tubular structure. A third molten resin may be similarly rendered into a thin tubular layer by forcing it to flow through another tubular passage formed between another torpedo and the inner wall surface formed by a cavity within the first torpedo and directing this third resin to confluently join the layers of the first and second molten resins on the inner side thereof thereby to produce a three-layer laminated tubular structure.

Method and die for forming laminated tubular structures of synthetic

A blow molding method for transferring and heating deformed and one-sided wall-thickness parisons in which each heated parison is expanded in conformity with the mold after being stretched or just after being heated, with the use of a conveying device provided with a number of upright pins inserted into the parisons and adapted for continuous travel within a furnace while being rotated, the inner section of each parison being irregular and/or having a varying circumferential wall-thickness the upright pins having a section, which fits an inner section of the parison, formed at the lower part thereof and including a planar portion placed into sliding contact with a guide rail provided at an outlet of the furnace in order to relatively position the parison. The improvement comprising transferring across the furnace each upright pin after the parison has been insertably mounted onto the upright pin while the rotation of the upright pin is stopped for a time, lightly holding the top of the parison by an inverted funnel type guide funnel and during the light holding, rotating a positioning piece fitted with the upper inner section of the parison so that the positioning piece moves downward to properly fit the parison, subsequently upwardly retracting the guide funnel and positioning piece to cause each parison to rotate and again to be reversely transferred across and to be heated within the heating furnace, and when each parison is moved out of the furnace, again stopping only the rotation of each upright pin so that a guide rail fixedly mounted at an outlet of the furnace at a predetermined angle may be brought into sliding contact with the planar portion formed at the lower part of the upright pin, whereby the relative positional relationship between each parison and the parison stretching device or the relative positional relationship between each parison with the mold coincide.
