BOX MANUFACTURING APPARATUS

摘要

A method and apparatus for manufacturing boxes. A sheet feeder feeds in succession sheets of predetermined peripheral configuration to a working station where a strip feeder feeds an elongated strip along the periphery of the sheet. After a given length of strip corresponding to the peripheral length of the sheet has been fed to a position next to the edge of the sheet, the strip is cut, and then a fastening unit presses part of the strip against an outer face of the sheet along the peripheral edge thereof while the remainder of the strip extends inwardly beyond the sheet form an endless side of a box. The apparatus and method are particularly suitable for manufacture of heart-shaped boxes.
