Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide an advancing mechanism for uniform and steady feeding of package blanks to a packaging machine, by avoiding a backward stroke using so called free wheel mechanism and by ensuring complete contact with the blanks.
CONSTITUTION: A shaft (1) extending through the mechanism at right angle to a magazine (14) is journalled by way of a free-wheel hub (5) so that it may rotate in only one direction. The shaft (1) is urged against at least one endless elastic belt (9) which mutually connects two or more wheels (11). The belt (9) presses against flat-laid package blanks by rotation. A free wheel hub (5) is surrounded by a lever (6) that is connected to a drive unit (8) and is making reciprocal movement and possible to make pivoting movement. When the lever (6) is pivoted in one direction, the movement is transferred via the shaft (1) to the belt (9) and the package blanks (10) are fed forwardly in the magazine (14).
