ABSTRACT:
An automatic packaging machine for sanitary paper products such as rolls of toilet tissue, packs of paper napkins, towels, etc. The machine comprises an article feeding section, a bag-supporting magazine section, and a package sealing section. The feeding section includes a reciprocal device having a support surface for underlying a plurality of articles and pushing means for moving the articles or packs. The feeding device is shifted in one direction from beneath a selected quantity of articles or packs to displace the articles downwardly, and in a reverse direction to push the displaced articles or packs into a wrapper to form a package. Continued movement of the feeding device causes the package to be transferred to the sealing mechanism.
A magazine section is provided for supporting an irregularly shaped stack of bags. The magazine includes hinged table sections which are automatically pivoted as the stack is raised. In this manner, the magazine compensates for uneven dimensional variations of the stack occurring during depletion thereof to maintain the uppermost bag generally horizontal.
The sealing section includes a stop arm for orienting a package on a support plate and devices for tucking in and heat-sealing the end flap of the package. A reciprocating mechanism is provided for automatically shifting the support plate to enable an ejecting plunger to push the package from the support plate following the sealing operation.
