Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0110634A1] A roll (10) of sheet material has foils (16) cut from it at (15). The cut foil is fed to a cone former (21) which is rotated to gather the foil round it and form a cone, which is held together by adhesive or welding; the foil skews on the table (16/24) during this. Table edge (24) then drops and the former (21) moves to position (21'), where the cone is deposited in a holder (30). A spike (31) guides the cone into the holder. The foils may be fed from a magazine, and adjusting their size and position produces various cone shapes. Multi-layer cones can be produced. An infeed machine may be used to extract the cones from the holder (30). The cones may be fed to a flower wrap machine, in which they pass through filling, sachet adding, and tying stations.
