Pressurized Air Assist System For Feeding Overlapping Sheets To An Interfolder

View page
US Patent:
7562871, Jul 21, 2009
Filed:
Sep 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/470737
Inventors:
Andrew L. Haasl - Green Bay WI, US
David J. Stubenvoll - DePere WI, US
Assignee:
Fabio Perini S.p.A. - Lucca
International Classification:
B65H 29/54
US Classification:
271309, 271310, 271194, 271195, 271196, 271 69
Abstract:
A sheet supply system, for use in supplying overlapped sheets to an interfolder, includes a bed roll on which a web is cut into successive sheets. The sheets are supplied to a sheet supply passage leading to retard rolls, which overlap the sheets within the supply passage. The trailing portion of each downstream sheet bulges outwardly as the sheet is supplied to the supply passage. An air tube directs pressurized air into a volume within which the bulge in the downstream sheet is formed. The pressurized air prevents the leading portion of the upstream sheet from being drawn outwardly along with the trailing area of the downstream sheet, by counteracting a vacuum that results from outward movement of the trailing portion of the downstream sheet after it is released from the bed roll. The pressurized air also maintains the upstream sheet in engagement with stripper fingers that guide the sheets through the sheet supply passage, and ensures separation between the trailing end of the downstream sheet and the leading end of the upstream sheet.

Filed:
Sep 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/228836
Inventors:
Barton J. White - Freedom WI, US
Andrew L. Haasl - Green Bay WI, US
Assignee:
FPNA Acquisition Corporation - Green Bay WI
International Classification:
B65B 63/02
B65B 43/08
US Classification:
53399, 53438, 53459, 53529, 53563, 53567, 53585
Abstract:
A packaging system for packaging a compressible article, such as a stack of interfolded paper towels, includes a sleeve supply arrangement for supplying a packaging sleeve to a loading area, a reciprocating article supply arrangement for selectively positioning a compressed article in the loading area, and a sleeve advancing arrangement for advancing the formed sleeve onto the compressed article at the loading area. After a sleeve is advanced onto the compressed article, the article supply arrangement is moved away from the loading area. A movable stripper engages the article and the sleeve during movement away from the loading area, to strip the article and the sleeve from the article supply arrangement. As the article and the sleeve are removed from the article supply arrangement, the article undergoes decompression and establishes contact with the sleeve to maintain the article and the sleeve in frictional engagement, to form a pack.
