An apparatus for opening folded boxes and delivering the opened boxes to a conveyor device of a cartoning machine including a supply magazine and a delivery device equipped with a suction gripper. In order that the flat-folded boxes will be reliably opened, the apparatus has a holding device with a suction gripper for exerting counter-action during the initial part of the opening operation. The flat-folded boxes are delivered to the holding device by means of a transfer device, suction grippers on the transfer device are moved back and forth on an arc-like path the end portions of which extend substantially perpendicular to the holding plane of the holding device and to the removal side of the magazine. In the initial portion of its return path, the suction gripper of the transfer device still holds the folding box firmly, so that the folding box already opens partially at that time.
65 Rotary packaging technology US438780 1982-11-03 US4530686A 1985-07-23 William G. Everson; Richard D. Stevens
The carton erecting apparatus provides for the high speed transfer and opening of flat, folded cartons. The apparatus includes a rotary transfer mechanism having a fixed gear and a plurality of planetary gears in rotational communication with the fixed gear. The planetary gearing rotationally drives therewith a vacuum transport means so as to provide therefor at least two apex positions of travel at predetermined locations. A vacuum control means is operative on the transport means, particularly at its apex positions. A storage means is provided at a first apex position for releasably holding flat, folded cartons. And, a conveyor means is provided at a second apex position of travel of the vacuum transport means. The conveyor means has outwardly extending flights which are uniformly spaced and separated by a distance essentially based upon a predetermined carton dimension. The conveyor means is synchronized with the rotary transfer means so that a carton carried by the vacuum transport means slidably engages an upwardly extending flight as it approaches the second apex position of travel. The slidable engagement of the flight and carton causes the carton to open in a sleeve-like configuration. The vacuum release by the vacuum control means provides for the deposit of the opened carton between adjacent flights for transfer therewith and for subsequent packaging purposes.

73 Machine for erecting and counterfolding collapsed boxes US134987 1980-03-28 US4331436A 1982-05-25 Valentin Kuttenbaum; Ernst Henle
A device for erecting and countercollapsing boxes from preformed blanks comprises a carrier arm pivotally attached to a chain drive and guided by a generally oval track to engage at a feed station the back edge of a blank for pushing the same through a pair of parallel guide slots along a path to an erecting station defined by rotary carrier synchronized with the chain drive for revolving a stopper to have, upon the emergence of the blank from the guide slots, a distance from the slots' exit substantially equal to the width of the blank and an orientation parallel to front and back edges of the blank. The stopper catches at the slots' exit the front blank edge and continues to revolve with tangential speed less than the speed of the arm, whereby relative motion of the stopper and the arm gives rise to a compressive force which opens and countercollapses a box from the blank. A convex arresting surface on the rotary carrier engages a side of the box only upon the determination of a collapsing phase to limit lateral motion of the box during a pushing thereof by the arm into removal slots. The stopper includes a radial surface inclinable toward the exit of the feed slots for facilitating a catching of the front blank edge and toward the removal slots, upon further rotation of the rotary carrier, for facilitating the sliding of the countercollapsed box from the erecting station.
