Equipment for the continuous feeding of boxes to a machine known as a box filler.

摘要

The suction cups (23) for collecting the boxes (B) from the feed magazine (M) are mounted on a carousel (G) together with the check fingers (34) which ensure the correct introduction of the box into the box filler compartment and its retention when the box is released by the suction cups. The suction cups are mounted on the carousel with the interposition of an oscillating support (6-17-117) which, when the suction cups begin to interact with the box magazine, is orientated in advance and, by suitable means (7-8-108-9-10-11), is made to oscillate in a direction opposite that of the rotation of the said carousel, at a speed such that the motion obtained from the carousel is neutralized and the box can be extracted from the magazine, substantially with the same means as used in present static devices, from which the equipment described herein differs in the possibility of operation with continuous motion and consequently with higher output.
