DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
2. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a box-cording apparatus and, in particular, to a box-cording apparatus which is used to cord up a packing box after an article is put in it.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typically, a packing box which contains an article must be corded up in a condition where the bottom thereof is held up, and, accordingly, in order to cord up one packing box completely, it must be picked up and put down several times. This is troublesome and inconvenient. Moreover, if the box is heavy, it is extremely difficult for one person to do it. Such cases not only require a lot of strength but also waste time and manpower.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a box-cording apparatus which overcomes or substantially reduces the above-drawback and by which a packing box can corded up single-handedly and also quickly and conveniently.
According to the present invention, there is provided a box-cording apparatus comprising a frame means which has a base frame and support members slidably installed in the base frame, a driving means which drives each of the support members backwards and forwards, and a frame rotating means which also has a shaft fixed to the base frame, a control means which controls the rotation of the shaft and a base which supports the shaft.
Thus, according to the present invention, a box to be corded up is put on the base frame after the support members installed therein are pushed in the proper directions and then the outer parts of the box are bound together with the support members consecutively. After the is completely bound, the support members are pulled into their original positions, becoming free from the bound cords.
For a better understanding of the present invention, reference is made to the following description and accompanying drawings while the scope of the invention will be pointed out in the appended claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention will now be described by way of illustrative example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which ;
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the box-cording apparatus according to the present invention ;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged elevation of the apparatus of FIG. 1 ;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged vertical section of part of the apparatus of FIG. 1 ;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view showing a power-transmission means of the apparatus of FIG. 1 ;
FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged elevation showing the manner in which the apparatus of FIG. 1 is used ;
FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view showing a frame means of the apparatus of FIG. 1 ;
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a control means for controlling the rotation of a shaft in the apparatus of FIG. 1 ;
FIG. 8 is an enlarged elevation showing the manner in which the power-transmission means of the apparatus operates properly ;
FIG. 9 is an elevation showing the manner in which the apparatus of FIG. 1 is used ;
FIG. 10 is an enlarged perspective view showing another embodiment of the power-transmission means of the apparatus of FIG. 1 ; and
FIG. 11 is an enlarged elevation of the same embodiment of FIG. 10.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to the drawings, FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate that the lower part of the shaft 1 which has four catch holes 2 formed on its lower circumferential surface at intervals of an angle of 90.degree. is inserted into a central opening of the base 3 and supported by a support ring 4 and a nut 5. On the upper part of the base 3, a lateral opening 6 is bored in the position which meets with one of the catch holes 2 and a ball 8 which is urged by means of a tension spring which is built-in so that part of the ball 8 is inserted into one of the catch holes 2. Thus, the shaft 1 comes to a stop whenever it rotates through an angle of 90.degree.. On the one side of the base 3, a fixing pipe 9 to which a fixed pipe 12 having a roller 11 with a packing cord 10 is fixed may be installed in order
