ABSTRACT:
A universal floating guide apparatus for guiding a reciprocating slide member so that the slide member does not rotate. The guide apparatus may be employed in reciprocating slides which have linear motion and which are employed in coated paperboard carton packaging machines, such as in a carton loading device and a carton stripper device for loading a carton on a carton forming mandrel, and for stripping a carton off the mandrel, respectively. The floating guide apparatus includes a slide member which is linearly guided and provided with a bore in which is mounted an axially movable bushing that is cross bored. Slidably mounted through the bushing cross bore is a fixed guide rod. The guide rod also extends through enlarged bores formed through the slide member. The bushing is movable axially and radially to take up errors in parallelism between a drive rod carrying the slide member and the guide rod, and prevents rotation and binding of the slide member throughout its stroke or movement. The bushing may be provided with an elongated cross bore or slot to provide a three-dimensional universal floating guide apparatus.
