Definitions

• the present patent application is intended to protect a new corrugated cardboard box for packaging groups of products, for example groups of jars or bottles, and is also intended to protect the method and equipment for producing and employing such a box on an industrial scale. More specifically the invention is intended, in terms of the equipment, to protect a combination type machine which, depending on requirements, is able to package groups of products in conventional trays and wrap them in heat-shrink film or, alternatively, can wrap the said products in the specific cardboard box in question, which has good stacking strength and which, if necessary, can be opened easily and without any special tools, part of it remaining underneath the product and acting as a tray.
• a machine for packaging products in a tray and wrapping them in heat- shrink film is generally fitted with a horizontal magazine located underneath the initial path of the products to be packaged and containing the fiat blanks, stacked sideways, which form the trays and which, using suitable means, are inserted in phase underneath the products. Further downstream, means are provided which lift up first the front and back strips of the tray and then fold the end tabs of the said strips through 90° onto the sides of the product, thereafter means dispense spots of glue, usually hot-melt glue, onto the ends of the side strips, and other means lift these strips up so as to fix them to the end tabs of the said front and back strips, thereby completing the tray.
• glue usually hot-melt glue
• a horizontal magazine 9 Located above the flow of products, above the means 3 which cyclically insert a blank 7 underneath the product P' advancing along the conveyor line 1 , 1 ', is a horizontal magazine 9, on the bottom conveyor 109 of which blanks of corrugated cardboard 10, as shown in Figure 4, are stacked sideways.
• These blanks 10 include a wall 110 which is able to cover the top of the product P' and to which similar walls 210, 210', large enough to cover the product P' at the front and at the back, are hinged, these walls advantageously having rounded corners, as indicated by the reference 310.
• the blanks 10 are placed in the magazine 9 so that their length is positioned vertically, with the walls 210, 210' located above and below the intermediate wall 110.
