Title: Closing of receptacles
IPC: B65B7/16
Filed: 1960-04-27
Abstract: 923,741. Packaging. REYNOLDS METALS CO. April 27, 1960 [May 26, 1959], No. 14821/60. Class 94(1). [Also in Group XXX]  A filled tray 18 is closed and sealed by application of a sheet consisting of a protective outer foil 11a and a heat-shrinkable inner film 12a, the sheet margins being curled round the tray rim 16 and heat being applied to the package to shrink the central portion of the film and pull it against the rim. The foil and film are joined only in areas 14, Fig. 1, corresponding to the region of the rim. In one form of sealing apparatus, the joined webs are fed from a roll across an apertured plate 38, Fig. 14, and severed to produce the sheet. A tray 18 is raised by relatively moveable plungers 80,82 to carry the sheet through a flanging die 86 and against a locating member 90, Fig. 12. The plunger 82 withdraws and folders 94 advance from all sides to press the flange inwards. The folders may oscillate about axes parallel to the tray sides, Fig. 18 (not shown). The plunger 82 may rise again to press the rim and both plungers then descend so that a pusher may remove the package on to a conveyer carrying it through a heating chamber. Circular trays may have cover sheets stamped out of a continuous web, Fig. 11 (not shown). A continuously operating closuring apparatus, Fig. 19, comprises pockets 202 on an endless conveyer, each pocket having a bottom 208 vertically moveable by a rod 222 running on a cam track 224. The trays 18 are placed in the pockets and are each raised at 245 to have the end of the closure web 9 folded round their leading rim by an oscillating arm 236. The web is severed and the sheet so formed carried with the tray to beneath a series of folders 252 on a rotating wheel 258. As each folder descends, a plate 308, Figs. 25, 28, suspended by rods 310 freely sliding in the folder, engages the sheet to locate it and the tray is raised past flanging members 288. Fixed cams 254 engage and depress a plate 284 on the folder, rotating bell-crank levers 300 and causing horizontally slideable members 298 to close in and fold the sheet under the rim. The package is then lowered into the conveyer pocket and passes beneath a belt 256 as it traverses a heated chamber 307 to be finally ejected on to a shoot 220. In lieu of the fixed heated chamber a series of chambers may be carried on a wheel in the same manner as the folders and brought individually into contact with the tops of the packages, Fig. 27 (not shown). Web and tray feed may be regulated by photo-electric means. The tops of the beads may have a wax coating to produce a tight seal.
