Abstract
A packaging machine for applying and securing a continuous web of material, especially of the heat sealable type, to containers, especially open-topped containers. The machine includes an intermittently rotatable cutter for severing the web between adjacent container supports. The cutter includes camming means adjacent each end for rotating the cutter with respect to each container support to one position in readiness for further rotation between the container supports to sever the web. Support pins for carrying the container supports may be included on at least one of the supports and conveyor chains. When on the conveyor chains, support pins need be included at only some of the chain joints. The container supports may be molded from a settable material and include a convex, upward curvature to allow proper container sealing under pressure from a web applying device.
