Claims
- 1. A packaging machine, having at least one working member and a device for adjusting the position of the working member during a change-over operation for adjusting the working member to accommodate a package of a particular size with respect to a stationary datum surface, said device comprising:
- a plurality of selectable stop means connected to said stationary datum surface, said stop means being different in length from one another, the length corresponding to a position of the working member necessary for working the package of a particular size;
- a sliding support for supporting said working member whose position is to be adjusted, said sliding support being mounted on guide means which are adjacent to said stationary datum surface, so that during a change-over operation, said sliding support is placed in abutment with a selected stop means to maintain a predetermined distance, until the next change-over operation, between said working member and said stationary datum surface.
- 2. A packaging machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the device further comprises a rotatable member, said stop means arranged along the circumference of the rotatable member which has an axis of rotation perpendicular to said stationary datum surface, such that each of the stop means is rotatable into a position in alignment with the sliding support for abutment therewith.
- 3. A packaging machine as claimed in claim 2, wherein said rotatable member comprises a disk plate that is rotated in steps, the disk plate having a plurality of recesses for fitting said stop means therein.
- 4. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said stop means comprise threaded stems, each stem being threadably set to be different in length from the others and each stem having a related nut for blocking thereof.
- 5. A packaging machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said guide means comprise a pair of uprights along which said sliding support is movable.
