- Lovcman ABSTRACT This invention relates to a tape-applying machine and, in particular, to an improved U-seaier for cuboid objects or cartons.
- the apparatus or U-sealer includes a tape-applying member and a presser roller adapted to apply pressure-sensitive adhesive tape to a carton conveyed along a linear path.
- the tape-applying member is retractably interposed in the travel path ofthe carton and includes an upstanding end portion ofthe adhesive tape in an unsupported condition. This physical characteristic is imparted to the tape by cooperative grooving rollers which provide a longitudinal stiffening ridge or groove in the tape prior to application to the carton.
- This invention relates to a tape-applying machine and, more particularly, to an improved machine for applying pressuresensitive adhesive tape to a carton or similar cuboid object.
- U-sealers essentially include a guide surface, such as a set of rails or table top. along which a carton to be sealed may be conveyed by suitable conveying means.
- the U-sealer includes a retractable upright tape-applying member which is adapted to apply the end portion of a continuous length of adhesive tape supplied from a supply reel, to the advancing face of a carton. As the carton moves against and then past the tape-applying member, the latter is displaced by the carton and continues to apply tape to the bottom surface of the carton.
- the adhesive tape When the carton finally passes the tape-applying member, the adhesive tape may be pressed against the rear or retreating surface of the carton by a suitable presser member, which may be in the form of a rotatable pressure roller.
- a cutter severs the tape applied to the carton and allows the leading edge or end of the remaining tape supply to be positioned adjacent to the tape-applying member. This, in effect, will position the apparatus for applying adhesive tape to the following carton in an identical sequence as described above.
- retaining fingers or clamps In presently used U-sealers, in order to maintain the leading end of the adhesive tape in position against the surface of the upright tape-applying member, whereby a carton will be pressed against the tape when conveyed along the guide surface, suitable retaining fingers or clamps must be utilized. These retaining fingers include pivotable clamps which cover the side edges of the adhesive tape, thereby preventing the tape from falling away from the surface of the tape-applying member under the influence of gravity or the inherent lack of stiffness of the adhesive tape per se. As the canon to be sealed approaches the tape-applying member and contacts the fingers, retaining clamps are pivoted out of the carton travel path by pivoting means thereby allowing the carton to press against the tape on the tape-applying member.
- One such prior art U- sealer incorporating mechanism of this type is described in Larkin U.S. Pat. No. 3,079,977.
- the present invention provides for a U-sealer adapted to apply pressure-sensitive adhesive tape to cartons or the like, and wherein said U-sealer incorporates a novel and advantageous mechanism for imparting a stiffening characteristic to the upstanding tape end portion, thereby obviating the need for complex and expensive tape end retaining means and clamps.
- the novel and unique mechanism according to the present invention includes a pair of parallel-spaced rotatable rollers interposed between the supply roll of adhesive tape and the tape-applying member.
- the rollers have, respectively, complementary raised and grooved knife edge portions, which may be of a simple centrally positioned or a plurality of spaced portions against which the tape is pressed.
- first roller having the raised portion or knife edges
- one or more continuous longitudinal, generally V-shaped grooves or indentations are formed in the surface of the tape.
- the grooves or indentations in the adhesive tape are then adapted to pass through the groove in the second roller, the latter of which conveys the grooved tape upright toward the generally upstanding tape-applying member.
- the formation of the iongitudinal groove in the adhesive tape forms a type of backbone, imparting a somewhat more rigid and stiffer characteristic or increased bending moment to the freely upstanding tape end portion.
- a generally cross-sectional V- shaped support member may be positioned adjacent to and coextensive with the tape-applying member to give some support to the upwardly traveling adhesive tape.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel U-sealer including a device adapted to facilitate the end portion of a continuous web of adhesive tape to remain in freely unsupported upright position adjacent to an upstanding tapeapplying member.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a U- sealer as described hereinabove including cooperative paired rollers adapted to impart a longitudinal stiffening groove to the adhesive tape so that the latter may remain in an unsupported position adjacent to the carton-contacting surface of a tape-applying member.

PATENTED unvz l97| sum 11oF '2 INVENTORS Dingemon Bijl Y Dick Wilhelm Schenderlini;
' ATTORNEY FLAT CURL-FREE U-SEALING ADHESIVE TAPE APPLYING MACHINE This invention relates to a tape-applying machine and, more particularly, to an improved machine for applying pressuresensitive adhesive tape to a carton or similar cuboid object.
Tape-applying machines, generally designated as U-sealers, essentially include a guide surface, such as a set of rails or table top. along which a carton to be sealed may be conveyed by suitable conveying means. The U-sealer includes a retractable upright tape-applying member which is adapted to apply the end portion of a continuous length of adhesive tape supplied from a supply reel, to the advancing face of a carton. As the carton moves against and then past the tape-applying member, the latter is displaced by the carton and continues to apply tape to the bottom surface of the carton. When the carton finally passes the tape-applying member, the adhesive tape may be pressed against the rear or retreating surface of the carton by a suitable presser member, which may be in the form of a rotatable pressure roller. During the final movement of the tape-applying member, as the continued travel of the carton permits the member to return to its original upright position, a cutter severs the tape applied to the carton and allows the leading edge or end of the remaining tape supply to be positioned adjacent to the tape-applying member. This, in effect, will position the apparatus for applying adhesive tape to the following carton in an identical sequence as described above.
In presently used U-sealers, in order to maintain the leading end of the adhesive tape in position against the surface of the upright tape-applying member, whereby a carton will be pressed against the tape when conveyed along the guide surface, suitable retaining fingers or clamps must be utilized. These retaining fingers include pivotable clamps which cover the side edges of the adhesive tape, thereby preventing the tape from falling away from the surface of the tape-applying member under the influence of gravity or the inherent lack of stiffness of the adhesive tape per se. As the canon to be sealed approaches the tape-applying member and contacts the fingers, retaining clamps are pivoted out of the carton travel path by pivoting means thereby allowing the carton to press against the tape on the tape-applying member. One such prior art U- sealer incorporating mechanism of this type is described in Larkin U.S. Pat. No. 3,079,977.
Although the aforedescribed U-sealers are generally satisfactory in operation, difficulties have been encountered in connection with the adhesive tape retaining fingers and clamps. In addition this type of mechanism is also subject to frequent mechanical failure, since numerous delicate components and tension spring elements are in constant reciprocating motion. Another drawback of this particular prior art tape retaining mechanism lies in that the numerous components and elements must, of necessity, be machined and manufactured to extremely close tolerances, obviously an expensive and economically undesirable feature.
In order to obviate the foregoing and other disadvantages encountered in the prior art, the present invention provides for a U-sealer adapted to apply pressure-sensitive adhesive tape to cartons or the like, and wherein said U-sealer incorporates a novel and advantageous mechanism for imparting a stiffening characteristic to the upstanding tape end portion, thereby obviating the need for complex and expensive tape end retaining means and clamps. The novel and unique mechanism according to the present invention includes a pair of parallel-spaced rotatable rollers interposed between the supply roll of adhesive tape and the tape-applying member. The rollers have, respectively, complementary raised and grooved knife edge portions, which may be of a simple centrally positioned or a plurality of spaced portions against which the tape is pressed. As the adhesive tape passes over the first roller having the raised portion or knife edges, one or more continuous longitudinal, generally V-shaped grooves or indentations are formed in the surface of the tape. The grooves or indentations in the adhesive tape are then adapted to pass through the groove in the second roller, the latter of which conveys the grooved tape upright toward the generally upstanding tape-applying member. The formation of the iongitudinal groove in the adhesive tape forms a type of backbone, imparting a somewhat more rigid and stiffer characteristic or increased bending moment to the freely upstanding tape end portion. This, in effect, will permit the tape end to remain in a generally unsupported upright position adjacent to the surface of the tape-applying member. From the foregoing, it becomes readily apparent that the present U- sealer is of a simpler, more dependable construction than those in the prior art. If desired, a generally cross-sectional V- shaped support member may be positioned adjacent to and coextensive with the tape-applying member to give some support to the upwardly traveling adhesive tape.
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved and simplified U-sealer for applying pressure-sensitive adhesive tape to the surface of a carton or similar cuboid object.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel U-sealer including a device adapted to facilitate the end portion of a continuous web of adhesive tape to remain in freely unsupported upright position adjacent to an upstanding tapeapplying member.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a U- sealer as described hereinabove including cooperative paired rollers adapted to impart a longitudinal stiffening groove to the adhesive tape so that the latter may remain in an unsupported position adjacent to the carton-contacting surface of a tape-applying member. These and other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a U-sealer according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the U-sealer of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the U-sealer of FIG. 1. Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, a U-sealer is generally designated as 10. The U-sealer 10 defines a travel path 12 for a carton 14, shown diagrammatically, with the carton 14 being conveyed from left to right either manually or through suitable mechanical propelling means (not shown). A tape-applying member 16 consisting of an essentially flat plate is carried on a pair of spaced lever plates 18, joined by a rod 19, which prevents the tape from striking the lever plates, and pivotally mounted to a frame 20 about a pivot shaft 22. A pair of return tension springs 23 bias the lever plates 18 into a position whereby the tape-applying member 16 is normally maintained in the path of cartons l4 traveling along path 12.
Attached to lever plates 18, and pivotable relative thereto about pivot point 24 are spaced parallel levers 26, between the distal ends of which a presser roller 28 is rotatably journaled on shaft 30. The levers 26 are adapted to be retained in slidable engagement within slides 32 on both sides of frame 20.
Separately pivot to the frame 20 about pivot point 34 is a knife arm 36 having a cutter blade 38 positioned below plate members 40. The plate members 40 are positioned one on each side of the cutter blade 38.
Attached to the frame 20 is a depending frame member 42 having a horizontal shaft 44 rotatably journaled therein at its lower end. A supply roll 46 containing a continuous web of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape W is mounted on shaft 44 and retained thereon through suitable fastener means.
The leading end of adhesive tape web W is extended or unwound from supply roll 46 and led toward the tape-applying member 16, as illustrated in FIG. 1 of the drawings, and positioned adjacent to its carton contacting surface so that the end of the tape W just extends above the tape-applying member. The nonadhesive back of the tape W faces the tape-applying member 16, so that the adhesive surface of the tape is in carton-engaging position.
In order to maintain the leading end portion of the adhesive tape W in a generally unsupported upstanding position adjacent to tape applying member 16 without the use of cumbersome mechanical devices, a pair of spaced, parallelrollers 48 and 50 are rotatably joumaled between spaced lever plates 18 subjacent to tape-applying member 16. Essentially, the adhesive tape W is entrained about the forward peripheral portion of lower roller 48 and then looped inwardly and upwardly about the rear or inner peripheral portion of upper roller 50. The adhesive tape W then is conveyed upwardly toward and along the carton-engaging surface of tape-applyingmember 16.
in accordance with the novel and advantageous concept of the present invention, the lower roller 48 has a centrally located peripherally raised portion 52, generally in the fonn of a V-shaped knife edge. As the adhesive tape is conveyed over the roller 48, the knife edge 52 will impart a continuous longitudinal groove or edge to the tape web W. Similarly, roller 50 has a knurled surface adapted to grip the adhesive surface of tape web W and convey the latter upwardly toward tape-applying member 16. The roller 50 has a centrally located peripheral groove 54 in line with knife edge 52 on roller 48, and with said groove 54 being adapted to receive the longitudinal groove or ridge in tape web W, so that the groove is maintained in the tape as it is conveyed toward the tape-applying member. The longitudinal groove in the tape web W will form essentially a backbone" or stiffening characteristic increasing its bending moment so that it can remain in an upstanding unsupported manner adjacent to the tape-applying member 16.
During operation of the U-sealer 10, a carton 14 is advanced along travel path 12 until it contacts the tape-applying member 16 and the tape W lying against the surface of the latter. Continued motion of the carton 14 toward the right will cause tape-applying member 16 to fold down below travel path 12. As the carton l4 continues its travel the presser roller. 28 and then the knife arm 36 are also depressed by the carton. Concurrently, tape is unwound from supply roll 46 and applied to the bottom of the carton 14. As the tape passes the presser roller 28, the latter will securely apply the tape to the carton 14. This will also eliminate the longitudinal groove or ridge in the tape.
When the trailing edge of the carton 14 passes thev plate members 40 which are part of knife arm 36, the knife blade or cutter 38 will move up, being suitably spring-loaded, and cut the tape web W in proximity to the tip of tape-applying member 16. Simultaneously, the tape-applying member will move into its vertical position as the presser roller 28 moves up to press the trailing edge of the severed tape against the rear surface of the canon 14. The apparatus or U-sealer is now in position to apply tape to the next or succeeding carton 14.
From the foregoing it becomes readily apparent that the U- sealer according to the present invention is of a simplified and economically advantageous construction when compared to prior art U-sealers.
It should also be understood that the foregoing relates to only a preferred embodiment of the invention, and that it is intended to cover all changes and modifications of the example of the invention herein chosen for the purposes of the disclosure, which do not constitute departures from the spirit and scope of the invention.
