Patent ID: 6971215

Claim:
An apparatus ( 1 ) for inserting packaged material into packaging means, in particular for inserting blister strips preferably into folding boxes, comprising, an insertion device ( 2 ) and a preinsertion device ( 3 ), a first conveyor device for furnishing packaged material and a second conveyor device for furnishing packaging means to the region of the insertion device ( 2 ) and the preinsertion device ( 3 ), the insertion device ( 2 ) having at least one insertion tappet ( 5 A– 5 C) for displacing the packaged material and the preinsertion device ( 3 ) having a covering tongue ( 7 A– 7 C), corresponding with the insertion tappet ( 5 A– 5 C), the insertion tappet ( 5 A– 5 C) and the covering tongue ( 7 A– 7 C) being guidable essentially transversely to a direction of motion of the conveyor devices, the motions of the insertion tappet ( 5 A– 5 C) and of the covering tongue ( 7 A– 7 C) can be generated each by means of a respective servomotor drive mechanism ( 8 , 9 ) coupled with the insertion tappet ( 5 A– 5 C) and the covering tongue ( 7 A– 7 C), a further servomotor drive mechanism ( 11 ) coupled to the insertion device ( 2 ) and the preinsertion device ( 3 ) and operable to impart adjustable oscillating movement of the insertion device ( 2 ) and preinsertion device ( 3 ) parallel to the direction of motion of the conveyor devices, and the drive mechanisms ( 8 , 9 , 11 ) are triggerable separately via a drive control mechanism.
