ABSTRACT:
A packaging machine for loading a chain or web of interconnected bag-like containers, including a conveyor system for advancing a lead bag to a loading station, a gripper assembly for clamping the bag to be loaded to a funnel mechanism including a pair of pivotally mounted horns; and, an incremental reversing mechanism for retracting the web after the bag is loaded to effect severance of the bag from the web along a line of weakness. The web is advanced by a transmission that includes a drive motor and clutch for selectively coupling the drive source to a web feed roll. The drive system includes a chain for driving the feed roll a segment of which is reeved around a pair of sprockets carried by a slidable shuttle. The shuttle is reciprocated by a fluid pressure operated actuator to produce incremental reverse translation in the chain when web retraction is desired. An accumulating mechanism is provided for storing product to be packaged while a bag is being positioned at the loading station.
