Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
An apparatus for packing piece goods, such as potatoes packed in smaller bags or similar articles, into larger bags or similar articles capable of holding a pluralIty of such smaller bags; which apparatus comprises a relatively stationary central support assembly; a rotatable table means disposed over said central support assembly unimpeded by said central support assembly with respect to rotation thereof; a plurality of relatively stationary radially disposed rod support means attached to said central support assembly and extending therefrom a distance which is sufficient to permit their radial protrusion past the periphery of said rotatable table means; at least one pair of spaced apart L-shaped arms attached to one side of each of said radial rod support means from one and thereof respectively, and extending from such radial rod support means in such position that the unattached end thereof is upwardly directed toward the plane of said rotatable table means; and means to rotate said table means relative to said central support and radial rod support means.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
168 words
An apparatus for packing piece goods, such as potatoes packed in smaller bags or similar articles, into larger bags or similar articles capable of holding a pluralIty of such smaller bags; which apparatus comprises a relatively stationary central support assembly; a rotatable table means disposed over said central support assembly unimpeded by said central support assembly with respect to rotation thereof; a plurality of relatively stationary radially disposed rod support means attached to said central support assembly and extending therefrom a distance which is sufficient to permit their radial protrusion past the periphery of said rotatable table means; at least one pair of spaced apart L-shaped arms attached to one side of each of said radial rod support means from one and thereof respectively, and extending from such radial rod support means in such position that the unattached end thereof is upwardly directed toward the plane of said rotatable table means; and means to rotate said table means relative to said central support and radial rod support means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the unattached end of said L-shaped arms are spaced from said radial rod support means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 including one pair of said L-shaped arms respectively on opposite sides of each of said radial rod support means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 including larger bags or similar articles suspended in part from each of said pair of L-shaped arms.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 including resilient material surrounding said upwardly directed ends of said L-shaped arms.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 including feeding means operatively associated with said table means adapted to deposit said smaller bags or similar articles thereon.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
115 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 6 wherein said upwardly directed ends of said L-shaped arms have substantially vertical axes and are surrounded by resilient material; whereas the ends of said L-shaped arms attached to said radial rod support means have substantially horizontal axes normal to the axis of the radial rod support means to which it is attached; wherein at least one pair of said L-shaped spaced apart arms project normal to and away from opposite sides of each of said radial rod support means; and including means for transferring said smaller bags or similar articles from said rotating table means to stationary larger bags or similar articles partially suspended from said L-shaped arms.
