A device for packaging elongated items such as firewood pieces is described herein. The device includes: an elevated structure having an upper platform for receiving the elongated items from a separate conveyor; a diverter located on or above the platform for changing the direction of movement of the elongated items; and one or more elevator shafts having open bottoms. The elevator shafts are located adjacent to the platform and configured for receiving the elongated items after contact with the diverter and for holding the elongated items on support structures while a stack of elongated items is formed. The release of the stack of elongated items from the elevator shafts occurs via the open bottoms of the elevator shafts.

Provided herein is a system for automated dispensing and packaging of articles. Systems may include: a controller configured to receive an indication of an order to be packaged, where the order includes one or more articles; a packaging station; a web of bags, where the web of bags is fed to the packaging station; a pneumatic table configurable to support a bag disposed at the packaging station; an opening mechanism including a pneumatic nozzle to open the bag disposed at the packaging station; a loading bin configured to be inserted into the open bag and deposit the one or more articles; and a closure apparatus to seal the bag disposed at the packaging station after receiving the one or more articles.

A travelling kit for storing travel accessories in a travel bag, wherein the travel bag is transformable to a travel blanket. The travel blanket, in a planar, flat condition, circumscribes a cover portion defined by perimetral joining edges adjacent an interface of the travel blanket and the cover portion. The travel portion is foldable around a neck pillow and other travel accessories so that when the cover portion is folded in half, the resulting adjacent perimetral joining edges can be joined to form the travel bag that encloses the travel accessories.

Provided is a film-packaged tissue assembly package in which an outlet forming portion is not unintentionally broken. The problem is solved by a film-packaged tissue assembly package in which a plurality of substantially hexahedron-shaped film-packaged tissues having an upper surface having an outlet forming portion are arranged and packaged in a gusset packaging bag having a grip portion on the top surface side, wherein a plurality of film-packaged tissues are arranged in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in such a manner that the end surfaces face the top surface side where the grip portion is provided, and a bottom surface side facing the top surface side, and the film-packaged tissue is packaged in such a manner that the outlet forming portion has a shape in which an easily tearable line having cut portions and non-cut portions arranged alternately protrude toward the outside, the interval between non-cut portions at one end portion is smaller than the interval between non-cut portions at the other end portion, and the side where the end portion with a smaller interval between non-cut portions is located on the top surface side.

A device for packaging elongated items that includes an upper platform for receiving the elongated items from a separate conveyor; a diverter mounted above the platform and two opposed elevator shafts having open bottoms. The elevator shafts are arranged laterally outward from outer edges of the platform and extend downward from the platform and are configured for receiving the elongated items after contact with the diverter and configured for holding the elongated items while a stack of elongated items is formed. The elevator shafts are provided with one or more support structures configured to hold the stack of elongated items as the stack is formed and to release the stack of elongated items from the device after the stack is formed, with the release of the stack of elongated items from the elevator shafts occurring via the open bottoms of the elevator shafts.

A parcel sack management system and related process. The parcel sack management system includes a gathering conveyor configured to receive a parcel group at an intake and transport the parcel group to a sack filling station. The system includes a plurality of fill chutes that are transported along a circulating track, each fill chute configured to hold a sack. The parcel sack management system is configured to transfer parcels in the parcel group into a first sack via a first fill chute when the first fill chute is at the sack filling station.

An object is to provide an automatic filling and packaging device which enhances the efficiency of packaging work and which suppresses the occurrence of defective products to achieve satisfactory yield. In an automatic filling and packaging device, a locating means, a pair of upper gusset nails, a pair of intermediate gusset nails, a pair of lower gusset nails, and a blade-equipped sealing device are formed into a unit as a unit main body, and the unit main body and the pusher member are formed to be able to freely move close to and apart from each other. In this way, as compared with a conventional automatic filling and packaging device, it is possible to reduce the total time in which one article to be packaged is filled into one packaging bag and then the opening end portion thereof is sealed, with the result that it is possible to enhance the efficiency of packaging work.

A wet tissue usable as a disposable bag and a manufacturing method therefor are provided. The method includes steps of winding, first bonding, cutting, second bonding, packaging, immersing and sealing. According to the wet tissue usable as the disposable bag and the manufacturing method therefor, the wet tissue is taken out sheet by sheet from a sealed pack and used to wipe off contaminants such as dust or foreign matter, and then contains contaminants or garbage in the wet tissue.

Drug packets may be dispensed as a belt of drug packets. Machine-readable identifiers in the belt may be automatically read to identify drug packets and associate the drug packets with the received orders. The drug packets may be automatically inspected to confirm contents of the drug packets against the received orders. The belt may be automatically separated into segments of drug packets. Each of the segments may correspond to a supply period and each of the drug packets within each of the segments may correspond to a drug dose event for the multi-drug regimen within the supply period. The segments of the belt may be automatically accumulated into belt rolls such that, for each of the belt rolls, a first segment end is on an interior of the belt roll and a second segment end is on an exterior of the belt roll.

A system for packaging parcels includes a plurality of parcel packaging stations associated with varying packaging volume capacities. The system further includes a tote delivery conveyor configured to provide transport links to the plurality of parcel packaging stations, for transporting thereto, a tote containing a batch of parcels sorted to a common destination. The system is configured to select a parcel packaging station for the batch of parcels, from the plurality of parcel packaging stations, based on an overall volume of parcels being sorted to that destination. The tote delivery conveyor is controllable to transport the tote containing the batch of parcels to the selected parcel packaging station.
