DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0049] In this detailed description the preferred alternatives of the tip crimping machine of the invention are described only for a better understanding of the subject and in the way to create no limiting effect whatsoever.

[0050] In FIG. 1, representational view of the tip crimping machine of the invention has been given. Accordingly, the tip crimping machine basically comprises a lower table (10) having a fixed structure, a rotation disk (30) making a rotational movement by means of the driving motor (20) on the lower table (10), rotation joint (40) which is connected on the rotation disk (30) away from the rotation disk center (30) and which makes a rotational movement with the rotation disk (30), a sled (50) which moves back and forth within a crimping arm rail (60) located on the lower table (10), a pushing joint (70) moving back and forth on the sled (50), a crimping arm table (80) which is connected on the rotation joint (40) and pushing joint (70) and which transforms the rotational force into pushing and pulling force depending on the rotational movement of the rotation joint (40) and the back and forth movement of the pushing joint (70), a crimping arm (90) which is fixed at the front side of the crimping arm table (80) and which moves back and forth by means of the crimping arm table (80), a crimping arm (100) which crimps the cone tip (201) inwards during the wrapping procedure of the cornet cone package (200) which is wrapped by being rotated on the conical crimping tip (160) after arriving from the package transmission table (150) at the end of the crimping arm (90), a crimping guide (120) which is connected to the bottom of the end portion of the conical crimping tip (160) by means of guide adjusting sleeve (140) and which prevents the cornet cone package (200) from slipping during the back and forth motion of the crimping arm (90), and which also directs the cornet cone package (200) to the conical crimping tip (160) by pushing the same towards the cornet cone package (200) crimping arm (90).

[0051] A rotation disk (30) is placed at the back side of a lower table (10) having a fixed structure on the tip crimping machine of the invention. Said rotation disk (30) makes a rotation movement by means of a drive motor (20) which is located on the bottom surface of the lower table (10). On the rotation disk (30), a rotation joint (40) is connected away from the rotation disk center (30). Said rotation joint (40) makes a rotational movement with the rotation disk (30).

[0052] There is a crimping arm rail (60) at the front side of the lower table (10) as well. A sled (50) moving back and forth is placed inside said crimping arm rail (60). On the sled (50), there is a pushing joint (70) moving back and forth with the sled (50).

[0053] A crimping arm table (80) is connected on the rotation joint (40) and pushing joint (70). Said crimping arm table (80) transforms the rotational force into pushing and pulling force depending on the rotational movement of the rotation joint (40) and the back-and-forth movement of the pushing joint (70).

[0054] A crimping arm (90) is fixed at the front side of the crimping arm table (80). Said crimping arm (90) moves back and forth by means of the crimping arm table (80). At the end of the crimping arm (90), a crimping end (100) is connected by means of at least one connection element (110). The crimping end (100) provides the inwards crimping of the cone tip (201) during the wrapping of the cornet cone package (200) wrapped by being rotated onto the conical crimping end (160) after arriving from the package transmission table (150). Thereby instead of the cone tip (202) in the art which has a pointed structure seen in FIG. 4 of the cornet cone package (200) a straight cone tip (201) as seen in FIG. 5 is obtained.

[0055] During the wrapping of the cornet cone package (200) which has arrived from the package transmission table (150) in the open state by being rotated onto the conical crimping end (160) and during the crimping of the cone tip (201) with the crimping end (100) in the wrapping process, a crimping guide (120) is connected under the end portion of the conical crimping end (160) as seen in FIG. 2 for guiding the cornet cone package (200). Said crimping guide (120) is connected within a guide adjusting sleeve (140) by means of at least one fixing element (130), such that it can be adjusted by being moved back and forth.

[0056] On the crimping guide (120) seen in FIG. 3, there is a guide peak (121) extending upwards. Said guide peak (121) prevents the cornet cone package (200) wrapped by being rotated on the conical crimping end (160) during the back-and-forth movement of the crimping arm (90) from slipping and also, pushes the cone tip (201) of the cornet cone package (200) towards the crimping arm (90). In addition, a crimping curve (122) having a puffed structure in the middle, getting thinner towards the sides is formed on the crimping guide (120). Said crimping curve (122) pushes the cornet cone package (200) towards the crimping arm (90) and guides the cornet cone package (200) to the conical crimping end (160).

[0057] The working principle of the tip crimping machine according to the invention is as follows;

[0058] The cornet cone package (200) arrives from the package transmission table (150) in the open state, guided to the crimping guide (120), and wrapped on the conical crimping end (160) that makes a rotational movement by being rotated. In the meantime, it is provided that the cornet tip (201) is crimped inwards by means of the crimping end (100) at the end of the crimping arm (90) which moves back and forth by means of the crimping arm table (80). The guide peak (121) on the crimping guide (120) prevents the cornet cone package (200) wrapped by being rotated on the conical crimping end (160) during the back-and-forth movement of the crimping arm (90) from slipping and also pushes the cone tip (201) of the cornet cone package (200) towards the crimping arm (90). Said crimping curve (122) on the crimping guide (120) pushes the cornet cone package (200) towards the crimping arm (90) and guides the cornet cone package (200) to the conical crimping end (160). Thereby, it is provided that the cone tip (201) has a straight structure as shown in FIG. 5 during the wrapping of the cornet cone package (200) by being rotated onto the conical crimping end (160).
