BOX GLUING DEVICE

摘要

A box gluing device for attaching a glue tab of a box blank to an opposing panel when the box blank is folded so the glue tab is position at an edge of the box blank. The gluing device includes a support structure upon which a gluing apparatus and a support plate are mounted. The gluing apparatus a glue dispensing nozzle for applying glue on one or more surfaces of the box blank. The box blank can be moved through the gluing device to attach the glue tab to the opposing panel. As the box blank moves through the gluing device, a guide rail orients the glue tab in a desired manner while glue is applied to the box blank, and a roller assembly presses the glue tab and the opposing panel together with the glue therebetween. Alternatively, the gluing device can include a clamp arm that holds the box blank in place while glue is applied, and a folding bar that folds the glue tab onto the opposing panel after glue is applied.

1. A gluing device, comprising:
a support structure; a support plate mounted on the support structure, the support plate being adapted to have packaging material positioned thereon; a clamp arm coupled to the support structure, the clamp arm being adapted to selectively and securely hold the packaging material in place on the support plate, wherein the clamp arm is adapted to hold the packaging material in place when the clamp arm is moved from a first position to a second position; a gluing apparatus movably mounted on the support structure such that the gluing apparatus can be selectively moved between a first position and a second position on the support structure, the gluing apparatus having a glue dispensing nozzle and a glue supply, wherein the gluing apparatus is adapted to apply glue to at least one surface of the packaging material, wherein the at least one surface is disposed adjacent an edge of the packaging material; and a folding bar hingedly coupled to the support structure, wherein the folding bar is adapted to fold a first portion of the packaging material onto a second portion of the packaging material to secure the two portions together.
