Abstract

A device for applying an article to a moving object includes an applicator member having a base element and an arm element. The arm element is telescopically coupled to the base element such that the arm element is movable between a retracted state and an extended state. A biasing member biases the arm element towards its extended state and an actuator shaft is pivotably connected to the base element. The actuator shaft is eccentrically arranged and rotatable about a first rotation axis RA1, and a support member is pivotable about a second rotation axis RA2 and slidingly supports a mid-section of the arm element. An applicator head is cyclically movable between a retrieval position and an application position in response to rotation of the eccentrically arranged actuator shaft about the first rotation axis RA1. The arm element can be brought to its retracted state during movement of the applicator head from the retrieval position to the application position and can assume its extended state during movement of the applicator head from the application position to the retrieval position.

Abstract

A system and a method for filling a package (2) of the col-lapsible type with a product in the form of a powder or liquid. The system comprises a package (2), which has a chamber defined by flexible walls, and an arrangement (1 ) for filling a package (2) of the collapsible type with a product in the form of a powder or liquid. Moreover, the arrange-ment comprises a filling tube (4) with an end portion (6) which is made of a stiff material and which has an outer circumference (C2), and which end portion (6), in order to transfer said product to the chamber, can be insert-ed into a filling channel (3) of the package (2), which filling channel (3) has an inner circumference (C1), and a clamping element (5) which is de-signed to grip the end portion (6) and the filling channel (3) when said end portion (6) is inserted into said filling channel (3), so as to create a seal between the end portion (6) and the filling channel (3). The system is characterized in that the difference between the inner circumference (C1 ) of the filling channel (3) and the outer circumference (C2) of the end por-tion (6) is less than or equal to four times a wall thickness of the package walls, such that the ability of the filling channel (3) to form folds when gripped by means of the clamping element (5) is eliminated.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for gas filling of a duct (7) in a container (1) of a collapsible type, said duct (7) being defined by a first and a second side wall (2) of the container (1), the side walls (2) being joined along a common connecting portion (4), and said duct (7) comprising an inlet (15) arranged in the first side wall (2). The device comprises an abutment (21) and a gas module (26) with an outlet (28), which is arranged in a surface of the gas module (26) facing the abutment (21), and a clamping means (29) arranged outside the outlet (28), which clamping means (29) is applicable to the abutment (21) for clamping the container (1), and which outlet (28), in connection with the clamping of the container (1), is applicable to said inlet (15) for supply of gas to the duct (7) of the container. The device is characterized by a groove (30) formed in said surface of the gas module (26), which groove surrounds the outlet (28) and is positioned radially inside said clamping means (29), said groove (30) being arranged to prevent, when supplying gas to the duct (7) intended to be filled with gas, build-up of a pressure above atmospheric on the side, facing the gas module, of said first side wall (2) surrounding said inlet (15). The invention also relates to a method for filling such a duct with gas.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for gas filling and sealing of a duct intended to be filled with gas and positioned in a container of a collapsible type. The duct is defined by two opposite side walls which are joined along a connecting portion and comprises an inlet arranged in one of the side walls. A part of the container that comprises the inlet is clamped between an abutment and a gas module which is axially movable towards the abutment. Clamping occurs in such a manner that one off the two side walls included in the duct is allowed, in response to a gas flow supplied from the gas module and entering the duct through said inlet, to bulge to form a free passage into the duct for filling the same with gas. After completion of the gas filling, the duct is sealed. The invention also relates to a container blank having a duct which is specially developed for the method and the device.
