초록 ▼

A forming station comprises first and second forming die members. A closing station comprises first and second closing die members. A lift operatively couples at least three of the members together such that operation of the lift moves the three members together. The closing station is located downstream of the loading station and is for closing a pocket in a first web of packaging material with a second web of packaging material. The second web of packaging material is oriented in the closing station so as to engage with the first web of packaging material and fold a foldable flap downwardly with respect to a conveyor as the conveyor moves from upstream to downstream.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A packaging apparatus for an indexing-motion packaging machine that has a web transport conveyor transporting a web of flexible packaging material from upstream to downstream locations, the packaging apparatus, comprising: a series of stations including a forming station for forming at least one pocket in the web, a loading station for placing food product in the pocket, and a closing station for closing the pocket with another web of packaging material;wherein the forming station comprises first and second forming die members, at least one of the first and second forming die members being movable between open and closed positions relative to the other of the first and second forming die members to form the pocket;wherein the closing station comprises first and second closing die members, at least one of the first and second closing die members being movable between open and closed positions relative to the other of the first and second closing die members to close the pocket; andfurther comprising a lift that operatively couples at least three members of the first and second forming die members and first and second closing die members together such that operation of the lift counterbalances and moves the three members together between their respective open and closed positions;wherein the forming station is located below the closing station. 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first and second closing die members are both movable between open and closed positions to close the pocket and wherein the lift operatively couples the movable forming die member and the first and second closing die members together such that operation of the lift moves the movable forming die member, the first closing die member and the second closing die member. 3. An apparatus according to claim 1, comprising a servo motor operating the lift. 4. An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the lift comprises at least one link member extending between the movable forming die member and at least one of the first and second closing die members. 5. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the link member comprises a first end that is pivotably coupled to the movable forming die member and a second end that is pivotably coupled to the at least one of the first and second closing die members. 6. An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the lift rotates in a first direction to move the movable forming die member towards its closed position and the first and second closing die members towards their closed positions and wherein the lift rotates in a second, opposite direction to move the movable forming die member towards its open position and the first and second closing die members towards their open positions. 7. A packaging apparatus for a packaging machine that has a web transport conveyor transporting a web of flexible packaging material from upstream to downstream locations, the packaging apparatus comprising: a series of stations including a forming station for forming at least one pocket in a first web of packaging material and a loading station for placing food product in the pocket, the food product having packaging material comprising a foldable flap extending generally outwardly away from the conveyor, and being folded from a first vertical orientation to a second angled orientation,wherein a closing station is located downstream of the loading station and is configured to close the pocket with a second web of packaging material;wherein the second web of packaging material is oriented in the closing station so as to engage with the first web of packaging material and also fold the foldable flap downwardly with respect to the conveyor as the conveyor moves from upstream to downstream;wherein the second web of packaging material follows an arcuate path toward the conveyor so as to engage an upstream side of the foldable flap and fold the foldable flap downwardly with respect to the conveyor; and at least one movable dog located upstream of the engagement between the first and second webs of packaging material, the movable dog folding the foldable flap downwardly with respect to the conveyor towards the food product. 8. A packaging apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the at least one movable dog rotates to engage with the foldable flap as the conveyor carries the food product past the at least one movable dog. 9. A packaging apparatus according to claim 8, comprising a servo motor rotating the at least one movable dog. 10. A packaging apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the at least one movable dog comprises at least one finger for engaging an upstream side of the foldable flap. 11. A packaging apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the at least one movable dog comprises opposing fingers for engaging with an upstream side of the foldable flap during 180 degree rotation of the at least one movable dog. 12. A packaging apparatus according to claim 7, comprising at least one guide bar located downstream of the at least one movable dog, the guide bar guiding the foldable flap in a first folded position towards the engagement between the first and second webs of packaging material. 13. A packaging apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the engagement between the first and second webs of packaging material folds the foldable flap into a second folded position. 14. A packaging apparatus according to claim 7, comprising a control circuit programmed to control the relative speeds of the web transport conveyor and the at least one movable dog. 15. A packaging apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the control circuit controls the speed of the web transport conveyor in a linear indexing motion and wherein the control circuit controls the at least one movable dog in a non-linear movement. 16. A packaging apparatus according to claim 14, comprising a position sensor sensing position of the at least one movable dog and communicating the sensed position to the control circuit. 17. A packaging apparatus according to claim 14, comprising a first servo motor moving the web transport conveyor and a second servo motor moving the at least one movable dog. 18. A packaging apparatus according to claim 7, comprising a plurality of movable dogs folding the foldable flap downwardly with respect to the conveyor. 19. A packaging apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the second web of packaging material is fed from another conveyor located between the loading station and the forming station for forming the at least one pocket in the first web of packaging material.
