Abstract (en)
The apparatus for automatically placing a covering sheet over the top of a load, usually palletized, during wrapping with stretch film, comprises a dispensing gripper (4) which retains the front end of a film unwound from a parallel reel (3) supported rotatably by special means (2) and which leaves, free, portions of the said front end of the film, which are gripped in phase synchronism by the hands (11, 111) of a pivoting-arm manipulator (14, 114) which, in synchronism with temporary opening of the said gripper, is actuated so as to extract from the latter a section of film with the length necessary for forming the said sheet for covering the load. The sheet is retained at the tail end by the same gripper when actuated so as to close and is then separated from the film downstream by the intervention of transverse cutting means (9). Means are provided for subsequently causing the said manipulator to pivot about its own fulcrum so as to deposit the sheet of film (103) with sufficient centering, over the top of the load (C) to be wrapped which is temporarily stationary, following which the said manipulator abandons the sheet and returns, with a pivoting movement in the opposite direction to the previous pivoting movement, into the position useful for repetition of a new working cycle.
