Bag former assembly

摘要

The present invention provides a former assembly. The former assembly can include a base plate having an aperture that extends from a first surface to a second surface thereof. A bracing post can be attached to the base plate on the first surface proximate the aperture. The bracing post can have a receiving orifice formed therein. A substantially rigid tube can be adapted to extend through the aperture in the base plate. An annular space can be formed between the tube and the base plate. The annular space can be sized for the passage of the flexible sheet material.

主权项

1. A former assembly for forming bags from flexible sheet material comprising:
a base plate having an aperture formed therein; a single bracing post attached to the base plate proximate to the aperture, the bracing post having a receiving orifice formed therein and extending longitudinally therethrough; a fill tube slidingly passable through the aperture in the base plate with an annulus between the fill tube and the base plate sized for the passage of the flexible sheet material; and a bracing arm attached to the fill tube and slidingly fittable within the receiving orifice.
