Apparatus for closing and sealing two-piece slotted containers

摘要

Apparatus for closing and gluing containers which are of the type assembled from two pieces including a slotted tray with an outer sleeve which telescopes over the assembled tray and which has top flaps foldable into position as the top of the container. The tray is assembled and the sleeve is placed thereon prior to filling and the filled container is then directed into the apparatus which raises the outer sleeve to allow adhesive to be applied to the tray and at the same time allow the flaps to be glued and folded into position, the outer sleeve subsequently being pressed into position and held in that configuration until the adhesive can set, the finished container having adhesive holding the sleeve to the tray and the outer closure flaps sealed.
