ABSTRACT:
A pour spout fitment applicator adaptable to applying a flanged pour spout fitment through an opening in a carton top panel. The applicator includes a rotatable shaft having an anvil secured thereto, a vacuum cup mounted on the distal end of the anvil, and a cam controlled pivotable chute segment for coordinating the supplying of one fitment at a time to the vacuum cup. A linkage and toggle system serves to rotate the anvil and the cam so as to insert the individual fitment directly into the opening. While backed up by the anvil, the flange of the fitment is sealed by an ultrasonic sealer and horn to the inner surface of the top panel around the opening. The applicator operates transversely to the path of movement along a conveyor. As such, two or more applicators may simultaneously apply fitments to closely adjacent cartons.
