<p>An apparatus and method for sealing a film or foil or the like onto a container, by means of a downwardly movable heating device which is arranged between two columns or pillars bridged by a transverse member and below which the container can be passed, in a carrier member, are to be such that the operation of applying the film or foil to the container is automated and the operating procedure is accelerated. For the purpose, a clamping means is coupled to the carrier member, for receiving the film or foil or the like, wherein the clamping means comprises guide means which are secured to the columns or pillars and on which there are slidably disposed slide members which each have a respective lever passing therethrough, each said lever being provided with a beak-like projection or lug and being rotatable about an axis, the slide members and the levers together forming a clamping gap for receiving the film or foil, wherein the lever is connected to the carrier member at the other end from the beak-like projection or lug. The method according to the invention is distinguished in that, when the carrier member is moved into a position below the heating device, the film or foil or the like is entrained by a clamping means and laid over the container. The film or foil is to be taken from a roll and fed to the clamping means, its direction being deflected into the direction of movement of the carrier member, by way of a slot.</p> |
