Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a bottom tape applicator system that allows for rapid replacement of large diameter tape rolls. It includes a stationary frame with a passage to allow for the tape roll to pass through. The system has two mountings, with the first mounting being a base unit and the second mounting being a detachable unit. The detachable unit includes a front applicator and a tape roll mounting. The system also includes a rear wipe down for easy cleaning and a cooperating coupling for mounting the detachable unit. The front applicator and the rear wipe down work together to provide a complete bottom tape applicator system for applying bottom tape to cases.

Problems solved by technology

The bottom taper on the other hand based on current technology is limited to the smaller diameter tape rolls as the tape roll has to be installed below the tape head or below the machine frame.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]The basic components of the preset invention are the stationary frame 10 that is connected to the frame 12 of the taping machine 14 (see FIGS. 2, 3 and 4); the base unit 16 that in the illustrated arrangement is pivotably mounted on the stationary unit 10 on axle 18 (first mounting); and the detachable unit 20 that mounts the tape roll 22 that in the illustrations is a full tape roll that is to replace a depleted roll on a detachable unit 20 on which the depleted roll is mounted (not shown) and that has been removed from the stationary frame 10.

[0020]The stationary frame 10 is composed of a pair of spaced parallel opposed side walls 24 that are essentially mirror images (see FIG. 4). The side walls 24 will normally be connected to adjacent elements of the machine frame 12 (see elements 13 and 15 in FIG. 4) and are sufficiently spaced apart by spacers 26 mounted on pins 28 that extend between the sidewalls 24 and space the walls 24 to receive the base unit 16 and the detachable...

Abstract

A bottom tape applicator that facilitates changing of large diameter tape rolls is provided that is composed of a stationary frame mounted in the machine and through which a full roll of tape may be passed and that mounts a detachable unit that is replaced to replace the tape roll and a base unit movable between an open position and an operative position. The base unit combines with the detachable unit mounted in operative position in the stationary frame to form an operative tape applicator.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an improved replacement system for changing the tape roll in a bottom tape applicator that accommodates large tape rolls.BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0002]There are mainly two sealing methods used in the carton packaging industry; namely hot melt (or cold glue) adhesive and pressure sensitive tape. Cold glue or hot melt systems can provide non-stop sealing operation as the adhesive supply tank can be replenished without stopping the machine which provides a significant advantage in reducing production down time. Down time in taping machines is in part determined by the size of the tape roll as the machine has to be stop periodically to replace a depleted tape roll with a new roll. Regardless of this disadvantage, it is estimated that about 50% of case sealing operations use pressure sensitive tape, since it provides other benefits, such as low equipment capital cost; easy open and re-tape; dust-proof; etc. In general, t...
