초록 ▼

A continuous motion apparatus and method are disclosed where slugs of articles are picked up by pick-up heads revolving in a vertical plane path, and are transferred to a case packing station. A vertical motion mechanism lowers the pick-up heads at the case packing station to gently place the slugs into indexed cases in a reliable manner. The slugs, pick-up heads, and indexed cases are fed in continuous, synchronous motions. The pick-up heads are carried on the transfer arms in alignment with grid heads which reciprocate relative to the pick-up heads. The grid heads include grid fingers which define grid chutes arranged in a matrix corresponding to the array of articles in a slug. The grid chutes are lowered over the slug to receive the articles, and thereafter to transfer the slug to the case packing station. In this manner, the grid heads may be used in connection with the pick-up heads to provde a placement packer. The pick-up heads positively hold the ends of the articles so that when the grid chutes penetrate the cases and are opened, the grippers may be independently lowered to gently release the articles as a placement packer, all in a continuous motion.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] Apparatus for continuously packing articles into cases which includes a slug feeder for supplying a slug of said articles to a slug pick-up station at which said slug of articles is picked up and transferred to a case packing station for being deposited in a partitioned case; said apparatus comprising:a plurality of transfer arms disposed about a vertical plane for continuous sequential transfer of said articles from said pick-up station to said case packing station;a carriage carried by a frame for moving said transfer arms between said slug pick-up station and said case packing station along said vertical plane;a plurality of article pick-up heads carried by said transfer arms having an array of gripper elements arranged in a matrix corresponding to said slug of articles for holding said articles in a positive manner during said transfer;a plurality of reciprocating grid heads carried in alignment with said pick-up heads which move in relative vertical movement with said pick-up heads;an array of pivotal grid fingers depending downwardly from said grid heads to define a matrix of grid chutes corresponding to said slug of articles;said grid chutes having an open position in which said grid fingers are open to accommodate relative passage between said articles and said grid fingers, and said grid chutes having a closed position in which said grid fingers are closed in a convergent configuration and converge toward the case at said case packing station;a vertical motion mechanism operatively associated with said grid heads and pick-up heads for positioning said grid and pick-up heads in various positions along said vertical plane including a first relative position wherein said grid finger chutes are in said open position at said pick-up station and case packing station for allowing said articles to be picked up and released, respectively, and a second relative position at said case packing station wherein said grid finger chutes are in said closed position and aligned with the case prior to said articles being deposited in the case;an actuator operatively associated with said grid fingers having a first position in which said grid fingers are disposed in said chute closed position with said grid fingers converged; andsaid actuator having a second position in which said grid fingers are spread apart in said chute open position for relative passage between said articles and grid fingers.
