Pouch Dispenser Shelf Geometry for Stable Rail Placement

The patent applies asymmetry by designing the shelves with non-symmetric bevel cuts and undulating side edges. The bevel cuts are positioned at specific angles on one side of each shelf, and the side edges feature asymmetric undulations, creating an uneven contact surface that interlocks with corresponding features in the transport guide. This asymmetric geometry prevents slipping and ensures stable serial placement of multiple pouches during transport and processing operations.

The patent applies curvature through the undulating side edges of the shelves. Instead of straight edges, the shelves feature wave-like curved profiles that create multiple contact points with the transport guide. This curved geometry distributes the load across several points and creates a mechanically interlocking arrangement that prevents pouches from shifting or becoming misaligned during the welding and filling processes, thereby ensuring reliable serial placement.

The patent applies parameter changes by specifying precise geometric parameters for the bevel cuts, including the angle of inclination and the position relative to the shelf center. These controlled parameter variations create the necessary asymmetric contact surfaces for stable placement while maintaining compatibility with standard manufacturing processes. The bevel cuts are designed with specific angular parameters that can be achieved through conventional cutting and molding techniques, balancing stability requirements with manufacturing feasibility.
