Abstract:
There is described a packaging unit ( 1 ) for producing sealed packages containing a pourable food product from a tube ( 2 ) of packaging material advanced along a first axis (A); the packaging unit ( 1 ) comprises: at least two jaws ( 10, 11 ) arranged on opposite sides of the first axis (A) and movable between a closed position, in which they grip and seal said tube ( 2 ) of packaging material at one of a plurality of equally spaced cross sections, and an open position, in which they are detached from the tube ( 2 ); at least two forming members ( 15 ) supported by the respective jaws ( 10, 11 ) in a movable manner between a first operating position, in which, in relation to the position of the jaws ( 10, 11 ), they have the maximum distance from one another, and a second operating position, in which, in relation to the closed position of the jaws ( 10, 11 ), they mate with one another and cooperate with the tube ( 2 ); and actuator means ( 20 ) to produce movement of the forming members ( 15 ) between the first operating position and the second operating position; the actuator means ( 20 ) comprise at least one mover ( 21 ) connected to both forming members ( 15 ) in any position of the jaws ( 10, 11 ) and selectively activated to perform opposite strokes, along which the mover ( 21 ) itself produces the movement of each forming members ( 15 ) in opposite directions.

Claim (Index 20):
The packaging unit as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the linkage comprises a converting unit that connects, in an articulated manner, the mover unit to a shaft having a fourth axis parallel to the third axis, wherein the converting unit is configured to transform the linear movement of the mover unit along the second axis into a rotation of the shaft about the fourth axis, and wherein the linkage further comprises at least one toggle mechanism connecting the shaft to the respective forming member and driven by the shaft.
