ARTICLE FEEDING MECHANISM, AND BAG-MAKING AND PACKAGING MACHINE

摘要

In an article-supplying assembly for a vertical pillow type packaging machine, the clogging of articles packaged in a tubular portion can be reduced. The packaging machine has a substantially cylindrical member (11), a guiding member (10), a tubular portion (21) and a funnel portion (22). The substantially cylindrical member (11) extends vertically downward. The guiding member (10) is connected to the substantially cylindrical member (11) with the ridgeline (12) and guides a film (F) of bag-making material from a back side to move downward along this substantially cylindrical member (11). The tubular portion (21) is inserted into the inside of the substantially cylindrical member (11). The funnel portion (22) is connected to the tubular portion (21) with the junction line (23), and extending upward from the tubular portion (21) for receiving articles to be packaged falling from above. The junction line is positioned above the ridgeline, and their height difference is greater on the back side than on the front side, which is the opposite side to the back side.
