( 31) Convention Application No 640560 O% ( 33) United States of America (US) ( 22) Filed 17 Nov 1976 ( 32) Filed 15 Dec 1975 in ( 44) Complete Specification Published 11 Jun 1980 ( 51) INT CL 3 B 65 B 55/20 ( 52) Index at Acceptance B 8 C 11 13 C 15 A U 49 ( 54) IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO PACKAGING ( 71) We, GOULD INC, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, of 10 Gould Center, Rolling Meadows, Illinois 60008, United States of America, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and
by the following statement:-
This invention pertains to the art of packaging.
According to the invention in its broadest aspect there is provided a method of packing rigid articles in a packing member for transportation and storage of said articles, said method comprising the steps of (a) providing a packing member comprising a block of permanently deformable semi-rigid foamed plastics material, (b) placing one or more of said articles on said block so that at least a portion of the or each article engages said block, and (c) without otherwise influencing the properties of said material, forcing said one or more articles at least partially into said block with corresponding permanent deformation of said material whereby at least said portion of the or each article creates a permanent recessed nesting area for the respective article in said block.
The invention is particularly applicable to nesting large bearings of the type employed in engines in a base member for subsequent packaging and will be described with particular reference thereto; however, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the invention has far broader applications and may be equally employed with innumerable other articles, pieces or the like where nesting of the pieces in a base member is an acceptable form of packaging.
Heretofore, the packaging of engine bearings has been done by hand and has then required use of special cartons and dunnage specially designed for separating, cushioning, covering and so on the engine bearings being packaged.
For some bearing sizes and styles, the dunnage required to effect an acceptable packing arrangement merely comprised cardboard separators and the like while for other bearing sizes and styles the dunnage required comprised foam rubber pads and the like.
In any event, the disadvantages of these prior hand packing methods have been in the fact that the individuals who do the packing pace the production or packing capacity.
Because of hand packing, the overall packaging operation is deemed comparatively slow and thus rather expensive insofar as labour costs are concerned Furthermore, the cost of dunnage that goes into a given package is extremely high, not only in the cost of material but also in the cost of housing and/or storage therefor.
There is also a good deal of special design work required by packaging engineers each time there is a change or modification in any given package This results in a change in the work standards which then require the services of an industrial engineer Such indirect labour costs and undertakings further increase the overall costs of the packaging operation.
Finally, hand packing for engine bearings and the like requires an inordinate amount of floor space which could otherwise be placed to better and more productive use.
Accordingly, it is deemed desirable to eliminate the necessity for hand packaging operations and to substantially perform such operations automatically In this regard, it is considered particularly desirable that all container handling be done automatically by machine and that human operators merely institute the initial packing process by loading the machine Such apparatus and method of packaging would result in the reduction of the total number of operators required to package the same production output, eliminate the need for the need for at least some of the dunnage required in present manual packing procedures and reduce floor space required for PATENT SPECIFICATION ( 11) 1 569 189 1 569 189 the packing operation.
The present invention contemplates a new and improved method which enables all of the above referred to problems and others to be overcome or at least substantially reduced and which at least meets the above defined desirable features for an automated packaging system.
The new method is simple, economical and readily adapted to use in a plurality of envirnments for packaging any number of different pieces or articles.
In order that the invention might be clearly understood, a preferred embodiment thereof will be described hereafter in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevation view showing one form of apparatus which can be employed in practicing the method of the present invention; Figure 2 is an end view of the apparatus shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an enlarged view of a portion of the apparatus shown in Figures 1 and 2; Figure 4 is a plan view of a portion of the apparatus showing the means provided for adjusting the relationship between certain operative components of the apparatus; Figure 5 is a plan view of a typical packaging arrangement prior to processing through the apparatus; Figures 6-8 are schematic views showing the basic method steps employed in practicing the concepts of the invention; and Figure 9 shows an alternative packaging arrangement for processing through the apparatus.
Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating the preferred embodiment of the invention only and not for purposes of limiting same, the Figures show a lower conveyor assembly A, an upper conveyor assembly B and a power or compression assembly C.
More specifically and with particular reference to Figures 1, 2 and 3, assembly A defines a lower work path and is comprised of a frame portion generally designated 10 and a conveyor portion generally designated 12.
The frame portion includes a pair of spaced apart vertically disposed hollow leg members 14, 16 having a pair of spaced apart generally horizontal leg members 18, 20 Advantageously, conventional castors generally designated 30 may be included at the outermost ends of both horizontal leg members 18, 20 Vertical extension members 32, 34 are conveniently received in hollow leg members 14, 16, respectively, and these extension members each indude generally U-shaped yoke structures at the uppermost end thereof generally designated 36, 38 Members 14, 32 and 16, 34 each include through holes which may be placed in registry with each other to receive handles 40, 42 for permitting vertical adjustment of conveyor portion 12 as is known.
The structure of frame 10 described above is merely the preferred arrangement for the present invention The components of this structure are made of steel and steel tubing 70 or pipe which are conveniently welded to each other for ease and rigidity of construction.
Many other frame structures could also be advantageously employed, however, without departing from the intent or scope of the 75 invention.
Conveyor portion 12 is generally comprised of an elongated channel member 44 having spaced apart channel supports 46,48 on each side thereof As will be particularly noted 80 from Figures 1 and 2, these channel supports are dimensioned and mounted so as to register with yokes 36, 38 and may be affixed to the yokes by any convenient means such as, for example, the conventional nut and bolt 85 arrangements generally designated 50 Disposed at opposite ends of channel member 44 are rolls 60, 62 which are mounted for rotation at their ends by conventional pillow blocks generally designated 64 Associated with 90 the pillow blocks used in mounting roll 62 and channel member 44 are conventional adjustment means generally designated 66 to facilitate control of tension on the conveyor belt 95 Depending downwardly from channel member 44 adjacent the end thereof having roll 60 is a framework structure generally designated which receives and houses an electric drive motor generally designated 72 This motor 100 is of the variable speed type for reasons and purposes which will become apparent hereinafter A drive chain designated 74 operably interconnects the motor and roll 60 by conventional sprocket means While not shown 105 in the drawings, a chain guard may be conveniently received over the chain for safety reasons.
A conveyor belt generally designated 76 extends in a continuous manner around rolls 110 60, 62 with the upper surface thereof being supported between the rolls by channel member 44 In the preferred arrangement of the invention, belt 76 is comprised of a wire mesh belt and motor 72 may be operated at speeds 115 of up to 80 rpm Extending longitudinal along the top of belt 76 are guide rails 78, 80 which conventiently guide workpieces along the conveyor from one end to the other These guide rails are constructed such that the 120 transverse distance between them may be readily adjusted to accommodate different workpiece sizes.
The overall structure of lower conveyor A hereinabove described is deemed to fairly 125 conventional in nature and the specifics of the constructions described are merely directed to the preferred arrangement contemplated.
Upper conveyor assembly B defines an upper work path and includes a conveyor 130 1 569 189 frame generally designated 90 having end rolls 92,94 at opposite ends thereof which are conveniently end mounted to the conveyor frame by conventional pillow blocks 96.
Similar to the arrangement of lower conveyor, adjustment means generally designated 98 are operably connected to end roll 94 and the conveyor frame for adjusting conveyor belt tension Disposed between rolls 92, 94 are a plurality of idler rolls generally designated In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, these idler rolls have a ler diameter than end rolls 92, 94 It is contemplated that five such idler rolls will be evenly distributed along the upper surface of frame 90 and that twenty four such rolls will be evenly distributed along the lower surface of frame 90 although other numbers of rolls could also be employed Lower idler rolls 100 exert a uniform pressure on those pieces or articles being packaged as will hereinafter be described in greater detail.
A conveyor belt generally designated 102 extends continuously around end rolls 92, 94 which, in the preferred embodiment, comprises a synthetic composition belt Side brackets generally designated 104, 106 are rigidly affixed to opposite sides of frame 90 for purposes of mounting the upper conveyor to the remainder of the apparatus as will hereinafter become apparent A drive plate 108 which is substantially the same length and slightly wider than the upper conveyor is rigidly affixed to the conveyor at side brackets i 35 104, 106 by convenient means such as conventional nuts and bolts A variable speed electric drive motor-l 10 is mounted to drive plate 108 and by a drive chain 112 is conventionally operably connected to end roll 94.
The power or compression assembly C is operably interconnected to upper conveyor assembly B This assembly includes a rectangular frame generally designated 120 having spaced apart end members 122,124 and side members 126, 128 Force means in the form of power cylinders 130, 132 having cylinder rods 134, 136 are operably connected between frame 120 and drive plate 108 To this end, upper mounting brackets 138, 140 connect the uppermost ends of cylinders 130, 132, respectively to end members 122, 124 of the frame and lower mounting brackets 142, 144 connect cylinder to drive plate 108 The means for such interrconnections are deemed conventional and, therefore, are not described in greater detail herein In the preferred embodiment the power cylinders comprise pneumatic cylinders and the operation thereof will be described in detail hereinafter.
A mounting and vertical adjustment assembly is mounted, on each side of the apparatus for properly interconnecting lower conveyor assembly A, upper conveyor assembly B and power assembly C and to permit proper relative adjustment therebetween Inasmuch as the two assemblies 150 are identical, only one such assembly will be described in detail herein, it being appreciated that the other assembly is identical thereto unless otherwise specifically noted Accordingly, each assembly 150 70 includes a rod receiving and guide bracket 152 rigidly affixed to one of side members 126, 128 of frame 120; a rod receiving and guide bracket 154 rigidly affixed to one of the sides of frame of upper conveyor assembly B; and a rod 75 receiving and guide brackets 156 rigidly affixed to one of the sides of channel member 44.
Brackets 152,154 and 156 are placed in vertical alignment with each other and spaced apart elongated steel rods 158, 160 are received 80 thereby Relative sliding movement is permitted between rods 158, 160 and brackets 154, 156 and the rods are maintained stationary in brackets 152 by any convenient means as, for example, set screws generally designated 162 85 In addition, an elongated threaded rod 164 extends between and is threadedly received in brackets 152, 156 in base or gusset areas generally designated 166 A lock nut 168 is provided on threaded rod 164 at rod receiving 90 and guide bracket 152 in a known manner to lock the apparatus components in a particular desired spacial relationship following adjustment Extending inwardly toward each other from each bracket 154 are supporting ears 95 which receive, support and are affixed to the opposite ends of a support member 172 which is also rigidly affixed to drive plate 108.
With particular reference to Figure 4, description will hereinafter be made with 100 references to the adjustment assembly generally designated 180 which permits adjustment of the relative distance between upper conveyor assembly B and lower conveyor assembly A.
Specifically, a hand crank 182 is received on the 105 the uppermost end of one of the elongated threaded rods 164 Sprockets 184, 186 are rigidly mounted to the elongated threaded rods and both of these sprockets have an equal amount of teeth An idler wheel 188 110 is conveniently adjustably mounted on a cross member 192 to maintain the desired tension on a chain -194 which extends continuously around sprockets 184, 186 Thus, as crank 182 is turned on one direction or the other to 115 turn the associated threaded rod, the interconnected sprockets act so that both rods 164 rotate in unison in order that the upper conveyor assembly B and power or compression assembly C may be moved as a single unit 120 toward and away from lower conveyor assembly assembly A Since power cylinders 130, 132 have a constant stroke, such adjustment is important to facilitate apparatus use with any number of different pieces or articles which a 125 are to be packaged in accordance with the concepts of the present invention.
The apparatus as thus far described and when in normal use merely comprises a portion of an overall packaging line The electrical 130 1 569 189 wiring for the conveyors themselves as well as the pneumatic piping for cylinders 130, 132 is conventional and convenient circuitry is provided in order that the apparatus will function as disclosed hereinafter The spcifics of such circuitry do no form a part of the present invention and, therefore, are not disclosed in detail in this application.
Figure 5 shows a package of the type typically processed when practicing the method of the present invention The package includes a base or pad member of semi-rigid foamed plastics material generally designated 200 which, in the preferred embodiment, is comprised of a block of multi-cellular polystyrene foam The preferred material for this purpose is foamed polystyrene having closed cell walls Such materials are well known in the art and can be produced by extension-expansion of polystyrene This material is preferred because of its light weight and its physical properties which permit it to be permanently deformed in certain areas while not causing cracking or destruction to the entire pad However, in some instances, other materials than polystyrene foam for base 200 could also be advantageously employed while not departing from the intent or scope of the present invention The base includes opposed side walls 202, 204, opposed end walls 206, 208, a top face 210 and a bottom face surface 212 In the preferred embodiment, a plurality of semi-circular bearing halves or segments 220 are shown as having been placed in the desired spaced apart relationship relative to each other on top face 210.
Adjustment assembly 180 is then employed so that by means of crank 182 and elongated threaded rods 164, the upper conveyor assembly B and power or compression assembly C may be adjusted to the desired height This height is such that when cylinders 130, 132 are in their retracted position, conveyor belt 102 will not engage bearings 220 on base or member 200 as they are passed beneath that conveyor belt 76 Further, the proper height is such that when cylinders 130, 132 are in their extended position, belt 102 will engage bearings 220 to force them at least partially into the base member from top face 210 toward bottom face 212 The proper adjustments, therefore, depend upon the thickness of the base member as well as the height that bearing members 220 extend upwardly from top face 210.
For purposes of facilitating automatic operation, a photo-electric cell 250 is disposed along lower conveyor assembly A closely adjacent the lead end of upper conveyor assembly B. This photocell is interconnected with the remainder of the apparatus circuit for automatically controlling operation of at least power or compression assembly C in a manner which will become apparent hereinafter.
With particular reference to Figures 6, 7 and 8 the method of the subject invention and an apparatus for putting it into effect are shown in schematic In the Figures, conveyor belts 76, 102 are driven in the same direction and at the same speed The same speed for both conveyor belts is required in order that the apparatus will function as desired without 70 tearing or destroying the base member during piece or article nesting therein Inasmuch as the conveyors are driven by variable speed motors, conveyor speed adjustments for particular applications are rather easily effected 75 Base or pad member 200 having bearing halves 220 properly positioned thereon is placed at an initial position on belt 76 of lower conveyor assembly A so that it will be carried by the belt in direction a 80 Side or guide rails 78, 80 are adjusted on the lower conveyor assembly so that they will closely guide the base member longitudinally along the conveyor.
As the base member passes through the 85 path of light from photocell 250 as shown in Figure 7 the circuitry in the apparatus is energized By suitable timers, and knowing the speed of the conveyors, cylinders 130, 132 are not energized until the entire base member 90 is beneath upper conveyor assembly B Following that time interval, power cylinders 130, 132 are energized to move from their retracted to their extended positions to move upper conveyor assembly B in the direction of 95 arrows b from the initial phantom line position to the solid line position as shown in Figure 7.
As the upper conveyor is moved in the direction of arrows b, conveyor belt 102 engages bearing halves 220 on the base member to 100 force the members at least partially into the base from top face 210 toward bottom face 212 As noted above, belt 102 moves in the same direction and at the same speed as belt 76 so that the apparatus will not damage or 105 destroy the base member as it is passed through the apparatus The position of the bearing halves following such forcing is shown in dotted lines in Figure 7 During this aspect of apparatus operation, the conveyors themselves con 110 tinue to move in the direction of arrow a to convey the base member toward a final position.
As the base member approaches the end of the total common length between upper and 115 lower conveyor assemblies A and B, another timer causes cylinders 130, 132 to retract so that upper conveyor assembly B is moved in the direction of arrow c in Figure 8 back to its initial position Thereafter, the base member 120 may continue along the lower conveyor assembly on conveyor belt 76 to a final position and other work stations for final packaging and/or storage In addition, the nesting apparatus is then ready for processing still 125 another base member which includes the bearing valves properly positioned thereon.
The apparatus and method hereinabove described provides positive nesting of bearing halves 220 into base member 200 Once 130 1 569 189 nesting has been completed, it is possible to place the base member and bearings in containers or boxes for shipping or storage It is also possible to place the base member and bearings on trays or the like to be covered by, for example, plastic bubble-type packaging The actual type of final packaging involved may be widely varied and will depend, to a great extent, on the actual pieces or articles being processed.
In the event, however, it is desired to package the bearing halves or segments in a box type container, the base member may be placed in the container prior to the time the base member is passed through the apparatus for nesting the pieces therein Figure 9 shows a cross-sectional view of such an arrangement prior to the time it is processed through the apparatus Here, base member 260 is employed with parts or bearing segments 262 disposed on top face surface 264 thereof The pieces and base member are placed in a box-type container generally designated 266 Such a container is conventionally made from cardboard or the like and includes a bottom wall 268, continuous upstanding side wall portions 270 and a top flap or cover 272 hinged to one of the side wall portions As will be noted, the uppermost portions of parts 262 extend outwardly beyond the upper distal ends of side walls 270 in order that the nesting operation will not interfere with or ruin the container.
Top flap or cover 272 is such that it will not be crushed as the upper conveyor assembly is moved from its retracted position into the extended position for forcing parts 262 into a nested condition in base member 260.
As should be readily appreciated, while the present invention has been described with reference to packaging engine bearing segments, the invention is readily adaptable to use in any number of environments for processing or packaging any number and types of pieces, parts or articles Moreover, the invention facilitates many and varied final forms of packaging for such pieces, parts or articles once or as they are nested in the base member Although the initial heights of the invention bearing segments 220, 262 shown in Figures 5, 6 and 9 are the same, the initial heights may be varied within limits as long as the height differential is such that the base member has a sufficient thickness between the top and bottom faces to absorb the differential during the nesting operation This aspect is deemed important when the pieces, parts or articles to be packaged on a common base member are of different sizes or styles or where they cannot be originally positioned on the upper face of the base member so the uppermost portions are at equal heights from the upper face.
The particular controls employed for pernitting operation of the apparatus as disclosed hereinabove may also be many and varied Inasmuch as the controls themselves do not form a part of the present invention, they have not been described in detail herein Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate the many and varied means by which desired control for the apparatus may be achieved In some 70 instances, it may be necessary to vary apparatus operation from that described with reference to the preferred embodiment for purposes of accommodating the different types of pieces or articles to which the concepts of the present 75 invention may be adopted.
