Vorteilhafterweise ist an jeder Stange jeweils ein Federelement, vorzugsweise eine Elastomerfeder, angebracht, auf denen die vertikal verschieblichen Jochs aufliegen. Diese Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsmaschine hat den Vorteil, daß Folien mit unterschiedlicher Dicke oder mit einer relativ großen Toleranzen bezüglich der Dicke verarbeitet werden können, ohne daß Änderungen an der Einstellung des Hubes vorgenommen werden müssen. Eine Vergrößerung der Foliendicke resultiert dann in einer minimalen Krafterhöhung. Darüber hinaus kann durch die Federn der Anpreßdruck des Unterwerkzeuges gegen das Oberwerkzeug begrenzt werden.Advantageously, a spring element, preferably one, is provided on each rod Elastomer spring mounted on which rest the vertically displaceable yokes.
