Abstract
Apparatus for sealing the foldable flaps of cartons of random sizes by applying a self-adhesive tape material along the edges of the flaps having improved assemblies for automatically infolding the trailing minor flaps and for controlling the positioning of the flap folding assembly at or above the upper edge of the carton. The assembly for infolding the trailing minor flap includes a kicker arm assembly which incorporates a kicker arm member mounted for sliding longitudinally along a generally horizontal axis between an extended position and a retracted position. The assembly for controlling the positioning of the flap folding assembly includes a brake assembly for selectively retaining the flap folding assembly in a fixed position, a control means for controlling the brake assembly and an actuator assembly for activating the control means.
