Box-Forming Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042721 titled 'Box-Forming Apparatus
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a box forming apparatus that includes a machine frame, an outer mold, and an inner mold. The outer and inner molds are movable relative to each other along a pressing direction between an open configuration and a pressing configuration. The molds are used to receive a blank and subsequently press it to form a box, which is then discharged in the open configuration.
- The apparatus includes a machine frame, outer mold, and inner mold.
- The outer and inner molds can move relative to each other along a pressing direction.
- The molds are used to receive a blank and press it to form a box.
- The box is discharged in the open configuration.
- The molds can adjust to the dimensions of the box to be formed.
Potential Applications:
- Packaging industry: This apparatus can be used in the packaging industry to efficiently form boxes of various sizes and shapes.
- Manufacturing: The box forming apparatus can be integrated into manufacturing processes to create custom boxes for products.
Problems Solved:
- Inefficient box forming: This apparatus solves the problem of manually forming boxes, which can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
- Inconsistent box dimensions: The adjustable molds ensure that the formed boxes have accurate dimensions, reducing waste and improving product quality.
Benefits:
- Increased efficiency: The automated box forming process saves time and labor compared to manual methods.
- Customizability: The adjustable molds allow for the creation of boxes with precise dimensions, meeting specific requirements.
- Improved product quality: The consistent dimensions of the formed boxes reduce waste and ensure a better fit for the packaged products.
Original Abstract Submitted
a box forming apparatus comprising a machine frame, and an outer mould and an inner mould arranged on the machine frame for forming a blank into a box. the outer mould and the inner mould are configured to be movable relative to one another along a pressing direction between an open configuration and a pressing configuration, for receiving the blank between the outer and inner moulds in the open configuration, for subsequently pressing the blank in the pressing configuration to form the box, and for discharging the box in the open configuration after pressing and forming the box. the outer and inner moulds comprise mould element sets of an outer mould element and an associated inner mould element, wherein the outer mould elements define the outer mould and the inner mould elements define the inner mould, and the outer mould element and the inner mould element of each mould element set are movable relative to one another along the pressing direction between positions associated with the open configuration and the pressing configuration, and wherein the mould element sets are movable relative to another along a plane transverse to the pressing direction to allow adjusting to dimensions of the box to be formed.
