Abstract
The invention is an improved packaging system that may be located in satellite-like locations in a large area where packaging operations are being performed. The system combines the use of load carrying structures, such as pallets, load transporting equipment, such as pallet transporters, a turntable device, a mechanism for revolving the turn-table device, and a securing facility to package, by wrapping, a load upon the load carrying structure. The turn-table device consists of a plate-like platform secured to a bearing which is supported by a frame structure having rollers on which the plate-like platform revolves. The mechanism for revolving the turn-table device consists of a powered facility that turns a friction-type roller to revolve the plate-like platform. The load transporting equipment facilitates the movement and proper positioning of the turn-table device for placing a load upon the load carrying structure, and for coupling the turn-table device, on which the load carrying structure is located, to the mechanism for revolving the turn-table device. During the revolving of the plate-like platform of the turn-table device, the load is secured to the load carrying structure…
