ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an apparatus (26) for forming a box blank from a generally-rectangular sheet of material. The apparatus has a frame (28) for supporting and guiding the sheet; and endless advancement belt (31) for controllably moving the sheet relative to the frame through the apparatus; guide rails (32) extending generally across the sheet; a carriage (34) mounted on the guide rails for horizontal movement relative thereto; a cutting blade (35) mounted for horizontal movement with the carriage and operatively arranged to be rotated about an axis; a blade actuator (36) for selectively causing the blade to have a vertical component of movement relative to the carriage; a punch (38) mounted on the carriage and selectively operable to punch a hole in the sheet; a transverse creasing roller (39) mounted on the carriage; and a pair of adjustable longitudinal creasing rollers (40) mounted on the platform. As the sheet is moved relative to the frame, the transverse creasing roller may selectively crease the sheet in a transverse direction, the longitudinal creasing rollers may selectively crease the sheet in a longitudinal direction, and the cutting blade may selectively cut slots from both longitudinal edges.
