DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0043] In this detailed description the preferred alternatives of the production machine of the invention are described only for a better understanding of the subject and in the way to create no limiting effect whatsoever.

[0044] In FIG. 1, representational view of the production machine of the invention has been given. Accordingly the production machine basically comprises a package fixing bottom set (10) which stacks the cornet cone packages (200) on top of each other, package fixing side set (20) which holds the cornet cone packages (200) on the package fixing bottom set (10) from their side surfaces, a first conveyor belt (30) with linear motion which carries the cornet cone packages (200) by pulling them individually on the lower surface of the package fixing bottom set (10), conveyor drive gear (40) which has the rotational movement that moves the first conveyor belt (30) linearly, a package transmission upper system (50) which advances the cornet cone packages (200) on the first conveyor belt (30), package holder (60) which supports the cornet cone packages (200) from under the first conveyor belt (30), a semicircle disk (70) which holds the cornet cone packages (200) and turns the same at the end of the first conveyor belt (30), disk motor (80) rotating the semicircle disk (70), a second conveyor belt (90) which carries the cornet cone packages (201) turned by the semicircle disk (70), lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) which are located at the end of the second conveyor belt (90) and which crimp the turned cornet cone packages (201) and bring them into conical cone packages (202), having reverse rotational movements, cone stacking unit (140) which stacks the conical cone packages (202) within each other, cone transmission belt (150) which pulls the conical cone packages (202) into the cone stacking unit (140) from the lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120), and a cone holder (160) which keeps the conical cone packages (202) within each other on the cone transmission belt (150).

[0045] In the production machine of the invention the specifically shaped cornet cone packages (200) are stacked on top of each other on the package fixing bottom set (10) in order to bring them into cone form. Cornet cone packages (200) stacked on top of each other on the package fixing bottom set (10) are held by means of package fixing side set (20) from their side surfaces. The package fixing side set (20) has the side adjustment arm (21) which provides for the width adjustment.

[0046] There is a first conveyor belt (30) with linear motion which carries the cornet cone packages (200) by pulling them individually on the lower surface of the package fixing bottom set (10). Said first conveyor belt (30) moves linearly by means of the conveyor drive gear (40) which is located at both ends and which makes a rotational movement.

[0047] A package transmission upper system (50) is connected on the first conveyor belt (30) which advances the cornet cone packages (200) on the first conveyor belt (30). Said package transmission upper system (50) has free-rotating disks (51). The disks (51) rotate freely on the first conveyor belt (30) and provide that the cornet cone packages (200) are advanced on the first conveyor belt (30). There is at least one package holder (60) under the first conveyor belt (30) as well. The package holder (60) supports the cornet cone packages (200) from under the first conveyor belt (30). Thereby the cornet cone packages (200) are carried on the first conveyor belt (30) such that they are between the package transmission upper system (50) and the package holder (60).

[0048] At the end of the first conveyor belt (30), there is at least one semicircle disk (70) which holds and turns the cornet cone packages (200). Said semicircle disk (70) makes a rotational movement by means of the disk motor (80). The semicircle disk (70) forms the desired gaps between the cornet cone packages (200) that are transferred from the first conveyor belt (30) by contacting the cornet cone packages (200) at certain time intervals as per its semicircle shape and the cornet cone packages (201) turned in this manner are transferred to the lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) without interlapping and disrupting the operation of the production machine.

[0049] The cornet cone packages (201) turned with the semicircle disk (70) are carried on the second conveyor belt (90) which has been positioned perpendicularly to the first conveyor belt (30). The semicircle disk (70) pulls the cornet cone packages (200) that are transferred from the first conveyor belt (30) from the sides by contacting them at certain intervals and drops the turned cornet cone packages (201) to the second conveyor belt (90).

[0050] At the end of the second conveyor belt (90), there is a lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) which crimp the turned cornet cone packages (201) and bring them into conical cone packages (202). Said lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) make reverse rotational movements from each other by means of the lower conical crimper motor (110) and the upper conical crimper motor (130), respectively. At the same time, the lower conical crimper (100) presses the turned cornet cone packages (201) that come between the lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) at certain intervals and when the cornet cone package (201) is brought to a conical cone package (202) by being crimped move in a downward direction.

[0051] At the end of the second conveyor belt (90) there is a cone stacking unit (140) which provides that the conical cone packages (202) are stacked within each other. Said cone stacking unit (140) has a cone transmission belt (150) that pulls the conical cone packages (202) from the lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) into the cone stacking unit (140). The conical cone packages (202) are held within each other on the cone transmission belt (150) by means of the cone holder (160).

[0052] The conical cone packages (202) produced by means of the lower conical crimper (100) and the upper conical crimper (120) are pulled by means of the cone transmission belt (150) and held on the cone holder (160). The conical cone packages (202) fall into the cone stacking unit (140) as stacked within each other at the desired amount after passing the cone holder (160) length. Depending on the size length of the cone holder (160) the number of the conical cone packages (202) desired to be stacked within each other can be adjusted.

[0053] The working principle of the production machine according to the invention is as follows;

[0054] The specifically shaped cornet cone packages (200) are stacked on top of each other on the package fixing bottom set (10) and advanced on the first conveyor belt (30) by means of the package transmission upper system (50) and package holder (60).

[0055] The cornet cone packages (200) arriving at the end of the first conveyor belt (30) are turned on the second conveyor belt (90) at certain intervals by means of the semicircle disk (70) which makes a rotational movement.

[0056] The turned cornet cone packages (201) are brought to a conical cone package (202) by being crimped by means of the lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) which make reverse rotational movements from each other located at the end of the second conveyor belt (90).

[0057] The conical cone packages (202) are pulled from the lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) by means of the cone transmission belt (150) and held within each other on the cone holder (160). The conical cone packages (202) fall into the cone stacking unit (140) as stacked within each other at the desired amount after passing the cone holder (160) length.
