Definitions
- the strip is cantilevered above the container by means of a stepwise advancing member which unrolls above the container a determined length of strip, sufficient to form a seal, the strip then being sectioned at the support end of the strip to separate a segment which is attached on the container neck by the welding head.
- the container closure device comprises a heat-sealable tape roll 1 carried by a bracket 2.
- a tape segment 3 is unwound from the tape roll 1 and has one end 4 which extends in a cantilever over a very short length relative to a strip end support plate 5 also carried by the bracket 2.
- the strip segment 3 is kept tensioned by a strip tensioning device comprising a roller 6 carried by a yoke 7 associated with the bracket 2 by means of a spring 8.
- the band end 4 is retained by a band retaining member generally designated at 9 and an embodiment of which is shown in the figure 4.
- the welding head 37 is lowered as before and the the sectioning member is simultaneously placed so that when the opening control lug 41 reaches the opening control lever 32 and causes the clamp 21 to open, the cover is simultaneously sectioned.
- the welding head 37 performs the welding of the cover on the container which is in place under the welding head 37 and the actuating cylinder 53 is simultaneously controlled in the direction of an extension to push back the bracket 2 and the members which it carries in an intermediate position between the container which is being closed and the next container so that at the instant t15 which follows the beginning of the movement towards the 'back of the stem 2 a new cycle can begin for the movements of the clamp 21, the instants t15, t17 and t18 corresponding respectively to the instants t10, t11 and t12.
- the instant t16 corresponds to the stopping of the movement behind the stem 2.
- each station is not necessarily equipped with members which are used only very occasionally during the cycle.
- a carousel has been illustrated in which the sectioning member 43 is mounted at a fixed station and performs sectioning on the fly of the strip segment 3 in order to release the cover during the welding of this segment of bandaged.
- the cutting of the strip to form the blanks of lids 21 is carried out punctually at the time of passage from a station of the carousel in front of a waste recovery tank 58 which is also a fixed station.
- the heat-sealing according to the invention must be understood either as an autogenous heat-sealing, the strip having a layer of the same composition as the container, or as a heterogeneous heat-sealing by means of a hot-melt adhesive placed in a thin layer under the strip.
