ABSTRACT:
A random box closing apparatus of the type having a box closing and sealing station having a sealing head which is movable upwardly and downwardly to accommodate boxes of different heights and having a main conveyor adjustable for box width, and having a box sensing station for sensing the height of the box, and having a sensing conveyor adjustable for box width and for further sensing the width of the box, and thereby controlling the spacing of the main conveyor in the box closing and sealing station, in which the apparatus is characterized by height sensing means operable to sense the combined height both of the box and the upper closure flaps extending thereabove when open, and delivering a combined height signal responsive thereto, and movable carriage means upon which said height sensing means is movable upwardly and downwardly, at the box sensing station, and having signal communication means connecting between the height sensing means and the power operated movement means, whereby to move the box sealing head vertically responsive to such combined height signal and there being movement transmission means extending between the sealing head, and a portion of the sensing conveyor at the box sensing station and connecting with the height sensing means whereby to move the height sensing means vertically in response to a change in box width, and also moving the height sensing means vertically in response to vertical movement of the sealing head.
