Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
An automatic packaging, measuring and pricing machine which includes an automatic packaging machine and an automatic measuring and pricing machine integrated with said automatic packaging machine, characterized in that, in setting of PLU data of said automatic measuring and pricing machine, a cutting length data for detecting cutting length of a packaging film on said automatic packaging machine is set while included in PLU data so that the film cutting length may be automatically set upon PLU operation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
78 words
An automatic packaging, measuring and pricing machine which includes an automatic packaging machine and an automatic measuring and pricing machine integrated with said automatic packaging machine, characterized in that, in setting of PLU data of said automatic measuring and pricing machine, a cutting length data for detecting cutting length of a packaging film on said automatic packaging machine is set while included in PLU data so that the film cutting length may be automatically set upon PLU operation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
91 words
An automatic packaging, measuring and pricing machine which includes an automatic packaging machine and an automatic measuring and pricing machine integrated with said automatic packaging machine, characterized in that, in setting of PLU data of said automatic measuring and pricing machine, a cutting length data for detecting cutting length of a packaging film on said automatic packaging machine is set while included in PLU data so that the film cutting length may be automatically set upon PLU operation and can be temporarily varied without changing the contents of a PLU memory.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
91 words
An automatic packaging, measuring and pricing machine which includes an automatic packaging machine and an automatic measuring and pricing machine integrated with said automatic packaging machine, characterized in that, in setting of PLU data of said automatic measuring and pricing machine, a cutting length data for detecting cutting length of a packaging film on said automatic packaging machine is set while included in PLU data so that the film cutting length may be automatically set upon PLU operation and can be temporarily varied without changing the contents of a PLU memory.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
110 words
An automatic packaging, measuring and pricing machine which includes an automatic packaging machine and an automatic measuring and pricing machine integrated with said automatic packaging machine, characterized in that, in setting of PLU data of said automatic measuring and pricing machine, a cutting length data for detecting cutting length of a packaging film on said automatic packaging machine is set while included in PLU data so that the film cutting length may be automatically set upon PLU operation and that it comprises a change-over switch for selectively determining whether the film cutting length is set upon PLU of said automatic measuring and pricing machine or on said automatic packaging machine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
110 words
An automatic packaging, measuring and pricing machine which includes an automatic packaging machine and an automatic measuring and pricing machine integrated with said automatic packaging machine, characterized in that, in setting of PLU data of said automatic measuring and pricing machine, a cutting length data for detecting cutting length of a packaging film on said automatic packaging machine is set while included in PLU data so that the film cutting length may be automatically set upon PLU operation and that it comprises a change-over switch for selectively determining whether the film cutting length is set upon PLU of said automatic measuring and pricing machine or on said automatic packaging machine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
117 words
An automatic packaging, measuring and pricing machine which includes an automatic packaging machine and an automatic measuring and pricing machine integrated with said automatic packaging machine, characterized in that, setting of PLU data of said automatic measuring and pricing machine, a cutting length data for detecting cutting length of a packaging film on said automatic packaging machine is set while included in PLU data so that the film cutting length may be automatically set upon PLU operation and that it is selectively determined by setting of an operation mode of said automatic measuring and pricing whether the film cutting length is set upon PLU of said automatic measuring and pricing machine or on said automatic packaging machine.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
117 words
An automatic packaging, measuring and pricing machine which includes an automatic packaging machine and an automatic measuring and pricing machine integrated with said automatic packaging machine, characterized in that, setting of PLU data of said automatic measuring and pricing machine, a cutting length data for detecting cutting length of a packaging film on said automatic packaging machine is set while included in PLU data so that the film cutting length may be automatically set upon PLU operation and that it is selectively determined by setting of an operation mode of said automatic measuring and pricing whether the film cutting length is set upon PLU of said automatic measuring and pricing machine or on said automatic packaging machine.
