Filed:

Aug 6, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/536545

Inventors:

Robert M. Kalany - Florence KY, US
Paul A. Frederick - Harrison OH, US
Scott J. Ziemer - Burlington KY, US

Assignee:

R.A. Jones & Co. Inc. - Covington KY

International Classification:

B65B 41/02
B31B 3/02
B31B 49/02

US Classification:

533891, 493 52

Abstract:

An improved carton feed drive includes feed dog drives for delivering carton blanks to transport lugs of a carton. Components of the feed dog drives are inclined to the vertical, providing ability to handle very short depth cartons by operating feed dogs in an operative run closely adjacent the transport lugs while the feed dog drives are inclined away from the transport lug drives so the respective drives to not interfere in any way to unduly limit the ability to handle short depth cartons. Feed dogs are selectively pivoted on their drives to positions for operative engagement of cartons, and are releasable to retracted positions to avoid carton damage as the dogs move to a return run.

US Classification:

533811

Abstract:

An improved orbital carton feeder comprises at least one carton gripping suction cup rotatably mounted to a rotatable wheel and moving in a hypocycloidal path having cusps, one of which defines a curved path portion coordinated with a blank placement station. Multiple cusps, cups and operational stations are disclosed, as well as a preferred cusp angular relationship responding to an angle of a carton blank at a discharge or pickoff station and an angle of disposition of a blank received conveyor.

International Classification:

B65G 17/30
B65G 17/06

US Classification:

198617, 198834

Abstract:

A transport drive system for a carton transport conveyor includes a shaft, a first pair of drive members, a second pair of drive members, and a phase adjustment hub connected to the shaft. A first set of drive members includes a drive member of the first pair and a drive member of the second pair, and the first set of drive members is rotationally fixed with respect to the shaft. A second set of drive members includes another drive member of the first pair and another drive member of the second pair, and the second set of drive members is rotationally fixed with respect to the phase adjustment hub. The phase adjustment hub is angularly adjustable with respect to the shaft to adjust the angular phase of the sets, while the pairs are adjustably spaced one from the other.

International Classification:

B65D 27/10
B65D 27/14

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to one or more embodiments of mailer package assemblies including a fixed release liner and a mailer package. The fixed release liner is removably or detachably coupled to the mailer package by an adhesive layer. The fixed release liner includes one or more wickets (e.g., openings) such that the fixed release liner may be mounted to a wall by inserting fasteners (e.g., tack(s), pin(s), etc.) into the openings. The mailer package may be removed, detached, or decoupled from the fixed release liner by pulling on the mailer package decoupling the fixed release liner from the mailer package. After the mailer package is removed, an packaging associate may place an item or product within the mailer package to be shipped to a consumer. After the mailer package is removed from the fixed release liner, the fixed release liner remains mounted to the wall.
