Abstract
Abstract Disclosure is made of a device for packing flat articles, mainly battery electrodes into a separating material, wherein a bed supports a grip which moves the article to be packed jointly with the material. Installed in line with said grip on said bed is a material feeding mechanism in the form of two reels mounted on parallel axles. The grip is linked kinematically with the carriage of the material feeding mechanism, said carriage reciprocating jointly with the grip. A guide with a slot receiving the article to be packed, is mounted on the carriage, the slot being limited by a fixed stop on the side opposite to the grip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
216 words
A device for packing flat articles, such as battery electrodes in a separating material comprising: a bed; a grip device including jaw means mounted on said bed for holding and moving an article to be packed jointly with said material; a material feeding mechanism, installed on said bed in line with said grip device, comprising a carriage and a pair of supply reels of material for said material feeding mechanism; means linking said carriage of said material feeding mechanism kinematically with said grip device for reciprocation jointly with said grip device; a guide for the material installed on said carriage; said guide having a slot open on at least the side facing said grip device for accommodating said article to be packed, a fixed stop limiting said slot at the side opposite to the grip device; driving means for providing said reciprocating motion to said grip device and to said carriage so that said grip device and said guide are adapted to be in joint reciprocating motion but not synchronous movement, and that accurate setting of the positions of said carriage and said grip device is ensured for the packing of said articles with a predetermined spacing between successive articles; and means for severing and sealing said material about at least two sides of said article.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
216 words
A device for packing flat articles, such as battery electrodes in a separating material comprising: a bed; a grip device including jaw means mounted on said bed for holding and moving an article to be packed jointly with said material; a material feeding mechanism, installed on said bed in line with said grip device, comprising a carriage and a pair of supply reels of material for said material feeding mechanism; means linking said carriage of said material feeding mechanism kinematically with said grip device for reciprocation jointly with said grip device; a guide for the material installed on said carriage; said guide having a slot open on at least the side facing said grip device for accommodating said article to be packed, a fixed stop limiting said slot at the side opposite to the grip device; driving means for providing said reciprocating motion to said grip device and to said carriage so that said grip device and said guide are adapted to be in joint reciprocating motion but not synchronous movement, and that accurate setting of the positions of said carriage and said grip device is ensured for the packing of said articles with a predetermined spacing between successive articles; and means for severing and sealing said material about at least two sides of said article.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said means for severing and sealing comprising a pair of reciprocating clamps and a heated wire blade which is vertically moved between said clamps for severing and sealing a transverse edge seam of said material when packing an article.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The device according to claim 2, including a sealing unit adapted to seal a longitudinal side edge seam of said material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
The device according to claim 3, including another sealing unit for sealing an article along the other longitudinal side edge seam, thereby completely wrapping said article about its four sides.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said pair of supply reels are mounted on said carriage of said material feeding mechanism.
