Cup making machine having applicator mechanism

摘要

A cup making machine having a turret for indexing a cup forming mandrel to successive forming stations and a hot melt applicator mechanism including a nozzle for applying a bead of hot melt material to a partially formed cup blank carried by the mandrel as it is indexed into position at one forming station. The nozzle is supported for compound movement relative to the mandrel in response to indexing movement of the turret so that a relatively straight bead of hot melt material is applied to a portion of the cup blank which travels in an arcuate indexing path.
