ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for branding dater or other indicia into predetermined areas of liquid food products containers, such as the top ribs of milk cartons, includes an anvil member adapted to be attached to a movable rib compression jaw of a carton filling and sealing apparatus, and a heated dater block mounting date-applying structure, the block being mounted on the apparatus such that the date-applying structure is aligned with the anvil. The anvil and dater block comprise a dating station which is adjacent the compression station of the apparatus and so close to the compression station that the conveyor of the apparatus positively indexes cartons toward and away from the dating station. When the movable compression jaw moves toward a carton rib to compress it against the other jaw, the dater anvil is thereby moved toward the rib of a downstream carton to press it against the heated date-applying structure and a date is branded into the rib. Thereafter, the carton conveyor engages and moves a compressed carton toward the dating station and engages and moves a dated carton away from the dating station. The dater requires no driving mechanism nor other dater element actuating devices of its own, but rather derives its movement from the movement of carton treating or closure-forming apparatus of the filling and sealing apparatus with which the dater is associated. Further, cartons are positively indexed to and away from the dater and double dating single cartons is eliminated without requiring additional mechanism in the dater unit.
