84 Wrapping Apparatus And Method Including Metered Pre-Stretch Film Delivery Assembly US13340098 2011-12-29 US20120124944A1 2012-05-24 Patrick R. Lancaster, III; David E. Eldrige; Willie Martin Hall; Richard L. Johnson; Curtis W. Martin; Philip R. Moore; Joseph Donald Norris
A method and apparatus for dispensing a predetermined fixed amount of pre-stretched packaging material based upon load girth is disclosed. A non-rotating ring carries a belt driven by a motor. A packaging material dispenser is mounted on a rotating ring, and the rotating ring may include a pulley that connects to the band, such that the rotating ring is driven by the drive belt. Based upon the girth of the load to be wrapped, an amount of pre-stretched packaging material to be dispensed for at least a portion of a revolution made by the rotating ring is determined. Good wrapping performance in terms of load containment (wrap force) and optimum packaging material use is obtained by dispensing a length of pre-stretched packaging material that is between approximately 90% and approximately 120% of load girth. Once the amount of packaging material to be dispensed per revolution is determined, a ratio of rotating ring drive to final pre-stretch surface speed (i.e., number of pre-stretch roller revolution/rotating ring rotation) can be set and mechanically controlled. Thus, for each revolution of the rotating ring and dispenser, an amount of packaging material is dispensed and wrapped around the load. In an alternative embodiment, the ratio is electronically controlled.

95 Crinkling device US10804189 2004-03-19 US06955027B2 2005-10-18 Yrjo Suolahti
The invention relates to a crinkling device comprising a slide rod (16), to which a second crinkling element (15) is fastened. The slide rod is guided in a frame (2) so as to be movable in a substantially vertical direction between a lower position (L), in which the second crinkling element (15) is out of contact with the lower edge (4) of a foil web (1), and an upper position (U), in which the second crinkling element (15) deflects the lower edge (4) of the foil web (1) upwards so as to crinkle it. The slide rod returns to the lower position (L) when not exposed to a force acting in the upward direction. The device further comprises first coupling means (171, 181) for forming a releasable coupling between the slide rod (16) and a first drive element portion (8) when the drive element (7) is running in a first direction (11) to move the second crinkling element (15) to the upper position (U). Second coupling means (172, 182) are provided to form a releasable coupling between the slide rod (16) and a second drive element portion (9) when the drive element (7) is running in a second direction (12) to move the second crinkling element (15) to the upper position (U). By driving the drive element (7) in the first running direction (11), the foil web (1) can only be crinkled from its lower edge (4). By driving the drive element (7) in the second running direction (12), the foil web (1) can be crinkled optionally either from the upper edge (3) by a first crinkling element (14) without crinkling the lower edge (4) or from the upper edge (3) and the lower edge (4) simultaneously.

99 Method of and apparatus for wrapping loadable objects US09824209 2001-04-03 US20020020145A1 2002-02-21 Ryozo Matsumoto; Okinori Anai
A simple operation winds film around and thereby wraps therewith a loadable object over its entire (six) surfaces. Film is wound spirally around the loadable object by revolving film feeders along a circular path about a horizontal axis while advancing the object past the inside of the circular path along a path of the horizontal axis in one direction. After the loadable object is so spirally wrapped, it is rotated in a horizontal or vertical plane by an angle of 90 degrees. The loadable object is then advanced in the reverse direction again past the inside of the circular path while the film feeders are revolved as before to cause another film from the film feeders to be wound spirally around the loadable object. One film feeder may furnish a continuous strip of film and another a continuous string of film reformed by compression from such a strip-like film.
100 Apparatus for wrapping a load US09349069 1999-07-08 US06195968B1 2001-03-06 Yanick Marois; Glen Ditchburn
The present invention concerns an apparatus for wrapping a load with a flexible wrapping material which prevents the flexible material from unwrapping itself after the load has been wrapped. The apparatus includes a supply of flexible wrapping material which can be delivered as a rope or as a full web. The apparatus includes a first finger and a gripper for positioning a portion of a first rope supplied by the supplying means at a predetermined location. The load and the supply are relatively moved to wrap the load with the flexible material. Once the load has been wrapped, a second finger and a guide wheel are provided to position a portion of a second rope supplied by the supply at the predetermined position. The first and second ropes are fastened together at the predetermined position, and the portion of the second rope is cut downstream of the predetermined position. Preferably, before the second rope is cut, the gripper is moved to grip the portion of the second rope, which is used as a first rope for a subsequent load. The present invention is also concerned with a method for wrapping a load.
