Definitions
- Another method that has been employed in packaging loose mineral fiber mats was to roll up the mat materials with a sheet of paper, the rolled package then subjected to externally applied compressive force and the compressed roll inserted in a paper bag or envelope.
- the fibers in the resulting roll formation were in loose or fiutfy condition.
- an exterior compressive force was applied to the loose roll, the convolutions of the mat were unevenly ice compressed, the paper became wrinkled or torn and tended to funnel in toward the center causing objectionable bulges in the fibrous material.
- a still further object of this invention is to provide an improved method and means for loading fibrous material into a compressing position, for unloading the compressed fibrous material into packaging means, and further unloading the expanded package means from a holder therefor.
- the invention thus features a method of packaging a mass of fibrous material which comprises the steps of evacuating air from within the mass and confining the evacuated mass in a package.
- the mass of fibrous material may be advantageously mechanically compressed in conjunction with the evacuation of air therefrom.
- a negative pressure on one side of the stack may be advantageously provided to prevent buckling of the column formed by the stack during compression, the negative pressure serving further, if desired, to evacuate the air from within the fibrous mats as they are being compressed.
- a still further method for handling material is taught which includes the step of providing a surface exerting a negative pressure adjacent the material to be handled and then moving the surface to a desired position.
- the invention features apparatus for carrying out the above and other methods which includes means for compressing a mass of fibrous materials comprising means for evacuating air from within the mass of materials. Means are provided for mechanically compressing the mass of fibrous materials in conjunction with the air evacuation, and means for packaging the compressed mass. Cross ram means are provided for shuttling the compressed mass into the packaging means. Means are shown for providing an air film bearing surface for the compressed mass as it is shuttled into the packaging means.
- the cross ram means may advantageously include means for providing a negative pressure area adjacent the compressed mass to maintain the mass in a compressed position.
- the packaging means may include spaced, opposed flanges to maintain a package open to receive the compressed mass from the cross ram means.
- Means are shown for removing the package of compressed material from the flanges which comprises opposed compressing surfaces to reduce the pressure of the package against the flanges.
- An air film may be provided between the package and at least one of the compressing surfaces to aid in removal of the package.
- At least one of the compressing surfaces may advantageously be a conveyor.
- At least one of the compressing surfaces may also be curved outwardly away from the package at the removal end thereof so that the package may expand slowly as it is removed to prevent shearing or rupturing of the package.
- a method and means for making roll up packages of fibrous material is also shown and includes mandrel means, means for winding a section of fibrous material onto the mandrel, and means for evacuating the air from the fibrous material as it is wound on the mandrel.

- the present invention is described with reference to compacting and packaging quantities of fibrous materials in mass formation or a series of bats or sections of mineral fibers such as fibers formed from glass, slag, fusible rock or the like.
- the manufacture of mats or bats of fibers formed from mineral material has been carried on for several years, and such mats or bats have been used extensively for heating and acoustic insulation in buildings and as heat insulation in appliances such as refrigerators, freezing units, ranges and water heaters as well as in places where heat loss or heat transfer is to be avoided as far as possible.
- Fibrous bats of this character are usually formed by attenuation of fiber-forming material by high velocity gaseous blasts in a manner wherein the fibers are accumulated in haphazard or random assembly into a mass or mat of substantial thickness.
- the fact that the mats are necessarily thick in order to obtain high insulating or sound-attenuating efiiciency increases the cost of transportation because of the bulk of the fibrous masses or mats. While the mats are comparatively light in weight,
- FIGURE 1 there is illustrated a first embodiment of the teachings of this invention in which a series of mats 20 may be delivered by conveyor means 21 to a packaging apparatus illustrated generally at 30.
- the packaging apparatus 30 comprises a box-like container 31 having one or more plenums 32 attached to one or more sides of the container 31.
- the plenums 32 communicate with the interior of the container 31 via a plurality of perforations 33. It is to be noted that slots or other air passages may be utilized with equal effectiveness as a substitute for the perforations shown herein.
- the plenums 32 are connected via air exhaust conduits 34 to a suction source not shown herein.
- a motor-driven exhaust fan may perform satisfactorily for most applications.
- the mats 20 are conveyed into or manually placed in the container 31 and air is evacuated from the mass of fibrous materials via perforations 33 and plenums 32. As the air is evacuated the mats are compressed and successive mats 20 may be placed in the container until the desired size package is created.
- the apparatus of FIGURE 1 thus allows the packaging of more mats in a similar size package.
- the air evacuation system is designed to uniformly compress the fibrous mats 20 to the greatest degree possible without injuring tht individual fibers making up the mats.
- the mats 20 when unpackaged thus spring back with their full resiliency to their normally expanded form With the full insulation value designed therein available.
- FIGURES 3 and 4 there is illustrated a second embodiment of the teachings of this invention comprising a horizontal plate 40, a vertical stop plate 41 and compression platen or ram means 42.
- a plenum 43 is attached to horizontal plate 40 and communicates with expansion of the package over a sharp corner or edge of plate 121 as it is being removed from chute 100 might rupture or tear the sleeve or bag.
- a plenum chamber 123 is secured to the top of plate 121 and communicates with the package side'of the plate 121 via perforations 122 distributed along the package side of plate 121.
- a flexible conduit 124 may be utilized to connect the plenum 123 to a suitable pressure source.
- air is evacuated from the fibrous material via perforations 63 and assists in compressing the stack of bats 54.
- side plates 51 and 55 of the apparatus are shown only in FIGURE 5 for purposes of simplicity, such side plates are advantageously utilized to assist the evacuation of air via perforations 63 from the fibrous mats by reducing the bat edges directly exposed to ambient air pressures.
- Compression ram means 70 is mechanically moved vertically to further assist in compressing the fibrous mats 54, accomplishing a triggering of the vacuum effect by mechanical compression to raise the density of the mats 54 as they are being compressed.
- cross ram means 90 After one or more charges of compressed stacks 54 are received between plenum wings 91a and 91b of cross ram means 90 the cross ram means 90 is shuttled into bag or sleeve loading position within chute means 100.
- a positive air pressure may be applied via conduit 85 into plenum 83. This positive pressure results in air flow through perforations 82 and provides an air' film bearing surface between plate 81 and the compressed bats located between plenum wings 91a and 91b.
- a similar arrangement may be utilized in conjunction with the vertical ram means 70 to provide an air film bearing surface between the lower surface of ram 70 and the upper side of the compressed stack of bats between plenum wings 91a and 91b, if desired.
- the air film bearing surface arrangement for vertical ram 70 has been omitted from the drawings.
- a bag or'sleeve of packaging material is inserted onto chute 100 and flanges 101, 102 and secured in place by one or more clamping means 104.
- the cross ram means When the cross ram means -has delivered the compressed stack to the proper position in chute 100, the air evacuation pressure, in plenum wings 91a and 91b is discontinued and the cross ram means 91 is shuttled back into loading position beneath vertical ram means 70 while the compressed stack of fibrous mats remains in chute 100. It may be advantageous, again depending upon the pressures and densities involved within the'compressed stack, to reverse air flow within plenum 91 to provide air film bearing surfaces similar to that discussed hereinbefore between plenum wings 91a and 91b and the compressed stack to aid cross ram means 90 in its withdrawal.
- the unloading means To aid the removal of the package without damage the unloading means and provide positive air pressure from plenums 113, 123 via perforations 112, 122 from conduits 114, 124, respectively, connected to positive air pressure sources not shown. Air film bearing surfaces are thus provided between plate 121 and the upper side of the package, and conveyor 111 and the upper surface of the plenum 113. The conveyor 111 is started, grips the lower surface of the package, and the bag or package is removed from the chute 100.
- the mat is compressed as it is rolled onto the mandrel by the evacuation of air from the confines of the fibrous mats via perforations 152 in the face of end flanges 150, 151.
- the mats may receive some mechanical compression by being kept under tension as they are rolled on the mandrel.
- the mandrel may be turned by hand or by any other suitable arrangementknown to thoseskilled in the art.
- the perforations 44, plenum 43, and conduit 45 connected to an air exhaust system performs the functions discussed hereinbefore with respect to the apparatus illustrated in FIGURES 1 and 2 and evacuate or exhaust the air within the mass of fibrous material thereby allowing a greater compression of a similar stack of mats than by previously known methods Without breaking the fibers within the mats. While the embodiment illustrated in FIGURE 1 represents and advance the embodiment illustrated in FIGURES 3 and 4 is still more advanced since the mats may not only be compressed by the evacuation of air therefrom but may be further assisted in compression by the ram means 42.

- a flexible conduit 54 provides a connection between the plenum 62 and an air exhaust system not shown.
- the plenum 62-plate 61 arrangement is supported by a frame 67 on rollers 66 for reciprocation toward a stack 54 of bats on conveyor 52 and back into compressing position.
- Compression platen means 70 is adapted to be driven in a downward direction between side plates 51 and 55 (FIG. 5) to mechanically compress the stack 54.
- suitable driving means for the platen means 70 may be found in the hereinbefore mentioned patents.
- the pedestal means is mounted upon shaft 84 and is adapted to be driven downwardly by the compression of the stack 54 to a position shown in dotted lines in FIG- URE 7 so that a compressed stack may be in a position to be inserted in a package by a cross ram means 90.
- a stop 86 may be provided to insure that the lowermost position of pedestal means 80 is properly aligned with cross ram means 90 to insure proper pickup of a compressed stack of bats 54.
