ABSTRACT:
A floating sealing pressure means for sealing carton ends, and which eliminates undesirable loading of a carton mandrel support system in a packaging machine due to carton and sealing pressure. The floating sealing pressure means is disclosed in a carton bottom sealing embodiment which employs a pressure pad for sealing engagement with the bottom end of a carton, and a reaction or counter pressure pad. The pressure pad and reaction pad are movably supported so as to function like a "C" clamp, so as to allow the pressure pad and reaction pad to operate in alignment with each other and locate on a carton mandrel so as to impart substantially no load into the supporting structure of the mandrel during a carton bottom sealing operation. The pressure pad and reaction pad are powered by a toggle actuator means which balances the loading on the supporting system of the mandrel.
