초록

Capped bottles filled with a composition are loaded into pack carriers therefor in apparatus in which the bottles are conveyed in a continuous series in two spaced apart lines to respective metering starwheels, each with an associated application starwheel, and each starwheel with an associated retentive curved guide means along an arc thereof, at a loading zone while a continuous series of the pack carriers or clips are advanced on a conveyor between the bottle lines to the loading zone. At the loading zone the respective metering starwheels each move the bottles consecutively past the guide means to the associated application starwheel and the application starwheels are mutually spaced sufficiently close on either side of each pack carrier passing in between them to force successive bottles simultaneously from each line into the respective back to back pockets. The arms of the application starwheels during rotation act upon the pair of bottles just inserted to advance the pack carrier on a flat surface and index the pack carrier for the insertion of each successive back to back pair of bottles and then to move the loaded pack carrier to a discharge point or to another conveyor for further handling. The bottles during transport by the starwheels are carried thereby, the bottle rims just below the caps or other upper enlargements of the bottles resting on the upper edges of the starwheels. The apparatus and method are capable of loading up to 1000 bottles per minute, depending on bottle size.

Apparatus for high speed assembly of capped bottles into pack carriers therefor, each bottle being filled with a composition and having a substantially cylindrical pack carrier-receiving body or neck portion that is smaller in diameter than the portion of the bottle immediately thereabove and the bottles being of uniform size and shape, and the pack carriers each having opposed linear arrays of laterally opening clips or pockets in which the pockets are aligned in back to back pairs and into which the bottles are resiliently inserted and held, comprising: (a) a pack carrier loading station having a substantially enclosed zone with open upstream and downstream ends, lateral walls serving as guide members, a cover serving as an upper, hold-down guide member, and a lower base guide member extending from the downstream end for supporting bottles in pack carriers after the pack carriers emerge from the enclosed zone during loading at the downstream end, the lower base guide member having an upper flat surface on which the bottles in a loaded pack carrier are slidable to a discharge point; (b) spaced apart first and second rotatable application starwheels immediately adjacent the downstream end of the loading station at laterally opposed sides of the enclosed zone, respectively, and the lower base guide member extending under both of the adjacent application starwheels, each application starwheel having an upstream intake side and each starwheel having an associated curved guide means extending along an arc on the upstream side toward the loading station; (c) spaced apart first and second rotatable metering starwheels immediately adjacent the upstream intake side of respective application starwheels and each spaced outwardly therefrom and having an upstream intake side and corner guide means for directing respective bottles to the adjacent application starwheel; (d) first and second chutes each leading respectively to the upstream intake side of one of the starwheels, each chute having opposed lateral sides with top edges, the top edges being spaced closer together than the diameter of the bottle body portions immediately above the substantially cylindrical pack carrier-receiving body or neck portions whereby bottles pushed through the respective chutes are slidingly suspended on the top edges, the lateral sides being spaced apart sufficiently for ready movement therebetween of any larger body portions of the bottles below the substantially cylindrical pack carrier-receiving body or neck portions; (e) first and second spaced apart conveyor means each extending from a source of the bottles to a respective chute, and each being adapted for simultaneously advancing a respective single file series of the bottles to a respective chute, wherein neither chute has a floor sufficiently shallowly located, so that when the bottles in each series are shoved through their respective chute by the action of the respective conveyor means on bottles that follow, the bottles in the chutes are suspended by the lower edges, of the bottle body portions immediately above the smaller diameter pack carrier-receiving substantially cylindrical body or neck portion, riding on the top edges of the lateral sides of the chute wherein they move; (f) third conveyor means extending from a source of the pack carriers in between the first and second conveyor means to the upstream end of the loading station, and being adapted for advancing to the loading station a single file series of pack carriers coordinately with sufficient of both bottle series to completely fill each successive pack carrier, the pack carriers being advanceable by the conveyor means with the pockets opening laterally with respect to the line of advancement of the conveyor means; (g) the enclosed zone of the loading station having extending longitudinally therethrough between the ends thereof a substantially flat, level surface on which the pack carriers are slideably and contiguously receivable from the third conveyor means and on which the pack carriers are slidable just prior to loading, and during loading while emerging from the loading station, the flat, level surface extending substantially between the lateral walls, below the upper hold-down guide member, and above the lower base guide member; (h) each starwheel having drive means therefore adapted to controllably coordinately rotate each metering starwheel counter to the adjacent application starwheel; (i) the respective metering starwheels and application starwheels each having at least an upper and a lower coaxial star-shaped element with equally spaced arms with pockets between the arms and the upper star-shaped elements each having perimeter top edges, the metering starwheels being each adapted to serially receive each bottle, supplied thereto by a respective chute, and to carry each bottle between a pocket of the metering starwheel and the associated curved guide means to the associated application starwheel during rotation of the starwheels, the bottles being carried during movement of the starwheels by the portion of each bottle above the substantially cylindrical pack carrier-receiving portion overlapping the perimeter top edge of a pocket and adjacent arms of an upper star-shaped element of a starwheel; (j) the spacing between each metering starwheel and its associated application starwheel being such and the coordination of rotation of the starwheels being controllable such that the bottles delivered to the application starwheel are, during a portion of the coordinated rotation of the respective starwheels, confined serially in aligned pockets defined by the arms of opposed star-shaped elements; (k) each application starwheel being adapted during rotation to move each of a series of bottles received consecutively from its associated metering starwheel between a pocket of the application starwheel and the associated curved guide means upstream thereof to a consecutive series of pack carriers emerging from the loading zone and, together with the application starwheel on the opposed side, simultaneously laterally insert consecutive bottles into consecutive back to back pockets of each pack carrier, the pockets of the star-shaped elements of the application starwheel being shaped to have a cam-like action for inserting the bottles, and the arms of the application starwheels on respective sides being adapted to bear against bottles just inserted and to cooperatively move each pack carrier along as each back to back pocket is filled, and to slide the pack carrier out of the enclosed zone as loading is being completed and thence out of the loading station; and (l) the star-shaped elements of the respective application starwheels being spaced apart sufficiently to readily permit movement therebetween of the continuous series of pack carriers just below the level of the respective uppermost star-shaped elements while being sufficiently close for the arms and pockets thereof to force successive bottles into successive nesting pockets on both sides of each pack carrier whereby each pocket is loaded with a bottle, each starwheel rotating upon a substantially vertical axis, and, a portion of each application starwheel star-shaped element extending into the loading zone and such portion moving during rotation in the downstream direction; at least one of the pack carriers as a group and the bottles as a group being formed of a resilient material.
