ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a automatic carton opening and feeding apparatus with improved breaking and supporting mechanism. It is used in the packaging industry which automatically removes a folded carton blank from a rack or magazine of such folded carton blanks and causes the carton blank to be opened while it is being transferred to a conveyor assembly. The present invention automatic carton opening and feeding apparatus utilizes a pivoted transverse member which can swing between an open position and a closed position to break open large carton blanks more effectively. The pivoted transverse member can be activated by a simple cam follower mechanism or an air cylinder, or any suitable mechanism. The present invention apparatus further utilizes an additional supporting member mounted immediately behind and moving together with the suction cups for preventing the carton blank from being tilted, misaligned or knocked-off while being attached by the suction cups and broken open by the pivoted transverse member.
