Ronald Wallace Francis

US Patent:

47292067, Mar 8, 1988

Filed:

Aug 12, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/895774

Inventors:

Ronald R. Francis - Hamilton Square NJ
Martin Mueller - Wonder Lake IL

Assignee:

General Foods Corporation - White Plains NY

International Classification:

B65B 728

US Classification:

53297

Abstract:

The apparatus incorporates a conveyor having a generally horizontal upper run which includes container receiving and supporting apertures, at a first station. At a second station along the conveyor path, the containers are each filled with a predetermined amount of a flowable product which is dispensed into each of the containers during relative vertical separating movement of a filler nozzle with respect to each container. Thereafter, each of the product-filled containers is conducted to a third station along the conveyor path wherein a closure fitment is positioned within the opening of the filled conical container. At a fourth station along the conveyor path, a crimping device mechanically crimps the upper edge of the container about an upturned annular flange of the closure fitment to thereby form a mechanical connection between the closure fitment and the conical container. The flange of the closure fitment is sealed to the inner wall of the conical container so as to form a liquid-tight sealed packaging container structure.
