VERTICAL CARTON LOADING PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR CLIPS OF A STACKED SHEET MATERIAL

摘要

A system and process for packaging sheet materials is disclosed. In
particular, the system and process of the present invention is configured to
receive clips of a sheet material (10) and to load the clips into a dispenser
(12) . During the process, the clips can be folded and loaded into vertical
buckets (44) that are positioned over a stream of moving dispensers (12) . A
vertical pushing device (50) then pushes the clip from the vertical buckets
(44) down into the dispensers (12) . In this manner, the dispensers are loaded
from the top. Since the dispensers are loaded from the top, the system is
capable of placing clips of a material (10) into dispensers having a complex
configuration, such as dispensers having curved side walls.
