Problems solved by technology

A problem in the system of WO 01 / 19679 is that it is not able to handle clips of different widths, without changing the buckets.
The folding knife may cause some of the upper tissues in the tissue clip to bend while the clip is on the flat bucket floor, and before insertion into the transfer guide, but does not necessarily provide any substantial pre-bending of the whole tissue clip.
However, in some embodiments the compression plate is flat and no side walls are provided.

Abstract

A tissue handling apparatus is disclosed for receiving tissue clips and transferring the clips into positions suitable for insertion selectively into flat or cubic tissue cartons. The apparatus comprises a plurality of movable buckets for transferring clips for flat and cubic tissue cartons, the buckets having substantially flat bucket floors. A folding knife and transfer guide co-operate in bending clips for cubic cartons.

Description

CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to European Patent Application No. EP 05258032.1 filed Dec. 23, 2005, entitled “CARTONING MACHINE”. This reference is expressly incorporated by reference herein, in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a cartoning machine, and in particular to a tissue cartoning machine for placing stacks, or “clips” of tissues into cartons. [0003] In conventional cartoning machines, stacks of tissues, known as clips, are received and conveyed to the tissue cartons by a bucket conveyor. The cartons are moved adjacent the conveyor in a phased relationship with the clips. Once a clip is adjacent a carton, it is pushed sideways into the carton. [0004] Tissue cartons generally come in two different styles. The first style is known as a regular, rectangular or flat carton. In this style of carton, clips of rectangular tissues are inserted in a substantially flat configuration into ...
