Blister pack laminating device and method.

摘要

A device (10) and method for laminating a barrier film to a blister pack utilizing a two-cycle, reciprocatory carriage assembly (14). The carriage assembly includes a tray (16) upon which the blister pack is placed and reciprocated in and out of the device housing. During one cycle, the barrier film is prevented from contacting the blister pack by means of a pair of rollers (24, 26) which back the film away from the blister pack a predetermined distance. During the other cycle, the rollers advance the barrier film toward and in contact with the blister pack to apply the film. In addition, the rollers apply pressure through the film and blister pack against preselected pressure or bonding areas associated with the tray sufficient to bond the film to the pack. Different types of blister packs may be laminated by the device by changing the tray to include the necessary pressure or bonding areas.
