Koko FitClub's automated personal-training system rockets both men and women toward fitness goals with 30-minute custom workouts that incorporate cardio and strength training. An initial consultation determines fitness level and baseline measurements, which Koko's computerized equipment uses to design a tailored workout plan that precisely measures the weight, pace, and rest time appropriate for each exerciser.
The patented Smartraining machines guide exercisers through each workout and adapt as the user's fitness needs change, to constantly challenge the body. Exercisers can track their results and body composition measurements online and even compare individual fitness levels to others in the Koko FitClub community.
Like many trainers, Rickey Taylor spent much of his life fascinated by fitness, but he has also always loved art. He considers the act of training others as a combination of the two: his clients' bodies serving as the canvases that he helps transform into healthy human specimens. He founded Xcelerated Training as an art-cum-fitness studio, where he now paints a healthy picture of the world.
Rickey employs a blend of cardio, weight training, and plyometrics in his body-sculpting workouts. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he encourages patrons to motivate one another through the high-intensity, boot-camp-style classes. Though his classes are held in small groups, he schedules one-on-one sessions with customers who request it. He also provides nutrition coaching, further pushing patrons toward healthier lifestyles without relying on fad diets, such as only eating fruits with fresh hairstyles.
Julee Jones, founder of The Pilates Place, completed a 700-hour training program at The New York Pilates Studio. Even more impressive is that one of her teachers during that span was Romana Kryzanowska, who in 1970 took over as director of the original Pilates studio, a role once held by Joseph Pilates and later Clark Kent. It's no surprise then that Jones preaches authentic, functional techniques for Pilates, barre, and yoga classes at her studio. In addition to being an expert on Pilates, Jones is a certified barre instructor and a certified cancer-exercise specialist.
As a ballet dancer, David Gensheimer didn't need much help becoming lean, limber, and lithe. But when he found himself recovering from knee surgery, he knew he needed to find something that would keep him strong without compromising his healing process. In addition to physical therapy, he turned to Pilates and was won over by the sport's ability to strengthen core muscles and enhance flexibility. Though he was back to pirouetting in no time, David never lost the Pilates bug and went on to complete his Pilates training while serving as a company member with Ballet Austin and Nashville Ballet and dancing with the Houston Metropolitan Dance Company and Stillpoint.
Today, when he's not busy dancing his way through guest performances around the country, David helms Simply Balanced where he helps others strengthen, rehabilitate, and challenge their bodies through Pilates and yoga classes. Students can also try Gyrotonic classes, which blend elements of gymnastics, yoga, dance, and tai chi, performed on a weight and pulley machine that engages the entire body. Beyond transforming the way visitors look, move, and feel about spandex shorts, the Simply Balanced studio also showers them with feel-good perks such as complimentary beverages, free parking, and access to a team of highly trained massage therapists.
The Delta can trace its origins back to 1995 when a group of certified trainers and fitness specialists began coaching their innovative program called Boot. A comprehensive fusion of strength, cardio, and nutrition training, the 6- to 10-week program is designed to help patrons build both physically fit bodies and healthy lifestyles. In 1998, the trainers opened The Delta fitness club, where they continue to host the Boot training program alongside a variety of group fitness classes and personal-training sessions. The elegant and intimate club offers cardio and strength-training equipment, as well as a range of amenities that include steam rooms and a supervised childcare area. At the front desk, accommodating staff members await to explain equipment operation, register students for classes, and politely let guests win thumb-wrestling matches.
Ninety-minute classes at Kundalini Rising Yoga blend yoga techniques and meditations for a muscle-building—yet relaxing—experience. The Kundalini method works to increase one's oxygen capacity while posing, with benefits such as less stress, more energy, and a stronger immune system that deflects kryptonite. Daily classes range form introductory to advanced, and include prenatal and Mommy & Me.

Toast of the Coast: Players of Week 7 are revealed
It's time to reveal the Toast of the Coast Players of the Week. Thanks for the participation in the voting.
Vero Beach senior quarterback
Week 7 statistics:20 of 26 passing for 389 yards, 5 TDs, 2 INTs; plus 56 yards, 1 TD rushing in win over East Lee County
Quoting coach Lenny Jankowski: "He got off to a slow start last week. Our first three drives were a three-and-out, interception and pick-6, and those interceptions were back-to-back plays for him, so for him to bounce back like he did, I'm proud of him. He's having a very good season. Someone told me he had completed 11 passes in a row during the game last week, and that's come to be expected of him. We keep raising the bar, and he does that more times than not."
Jensen Beach senior quarterback
Week 7 statistics:22 of 37 passing for 340 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs, plus 41 yards rushing in 36-35 win over South Fork, including game-winning touchdown pass
Quoting coach Tim Caffey: "It was outstanding. Alex has come along. He's taken his lumps early in the season, but a lot didn't have to do with him. We had over 20 drops in three games, and our stats would have been better if we did what we needed to catch the ball, but he fought through adversity. He fought through some nagging injuries, didn't miss a practice and I put the offense in his hands. Ever since we went to the uptempo style, he's made leaps and bounds. He's earned everything he's gotten."
Jensen Beach senior quarterback
How the voting went: Ogle received 43 percent of the 653 votes
Nick Cooper, Sebastian River RB (156 yards rushing on 28 carries)
Uzziah Davis, South Fork RB (186 yards, 3 TDs on 17 carries)
Javid Ellis, Centennial QB (9 of 13 passing for 124 yards, 3 TDs, plus 89 yards, 1 rushing TD)
Adrian Minondo, Okeechobee RB (120 yards, 1 TD on 20 carries)
Tyrell Moring, Port St. Lucie QB (121 yards, 2 TDs on 17 carries)
Helen Ramsey, Treasure Coast FG (Game-winning field goal vs. Rockledge, 5 total points)
Sam Vaughn, Fort Pierce Central QB (20 of 31 passing for 256 yards, 3 TDs)
Jordan Watkins, John Carroll QB (10 of 12 passing for 133 yards , 2 TDs)
Find the full voting results here
St. Lucie West Centennial junior linebacker
Week 7 statistics: 17 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack in shutout win over Sebastian River
Quoting coach Ron Parker: "We started him out at cornerback and found out he could lay some bricks. He runs to the ball and brings some pop when he gets there. He probably had more than 17 tackles, but the film cut out on one series, so I missed some -- it was probably more like 20. He's a smart football player, and he's only a junior. He's a pretty ferocious hitter. He'll only get better as he gets bigger and stronger."
South Fork junior linebacker
Week 7 statistics:17 tackles, 1 INT
How the voting went: Lucky received 25 percent of the 531 votes
Jarrad Buncy, Jensen Beach DL (four sacks in second half vs. South Fork))
William Daceus, Fort Pierce Central LB (10 tackles, 4 TFL, 1 sack)
Antonio Jones-Davis, Vero Beach LB (11 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 3 sacks)
Nicolas Ramirez, Port St. Lucie DL (team's sack leader helped Jaguars to win over Okeechobee)
Josh Szymczyk, John Carroll LB (8 tackles, blocked punt returned for TD)
Nick Wagner, Treasure Coast DE (9 tackles, 5 TFL)
Find the full voting results here
Jensen Beach junior defensive back/placekick holder
Week 7 statistics:9 tackles, 2 INTs, two-point conversion run in 36-35 win over South Fork
Why we picked him: Glenn scored the game-winning points, running in the ball on a broken play for the two-point conversion after Alex Ogle's touchdown pass to Chris Favoroso. He also was a leader on defense as a captain in the secondary.
Quoting coach Tim Caffey: "He exemplifies what high school football is about. He's barely 130 pounds, but he plays like he's 6-foot, 200 pounds. He fights tooth and nail on every play. It was fitting for him to come through on a broken play like that. He showed nit and grit to get the two-point conversion and finally get the monkey off our back (by winning a game in the fourth quarter). He's our defensive captain in the backfield. He calls our coverage. He sees plays before they happen. As a backup quarterback, he understands what an offense is looking to do. He's a very smart football player."
Treasure Coast senior placekicker
Week 7 statistics:29-yard field goal, 5 points total
Why we picked her: Ramsey kicked the game-winning field goal with 8:29 left to lift the Titans to a 17-14 win over Rockledge. She's the first female football player on the Treasure Coast to score a game-winner.
Week 1: Offense only: Colton Haggerty (MC), Stone Labanowitz (SF)
Week 2: Offense: Edwin Thomas (JC), Aaron McGee (SE); Defense: Nico Sawtelle (JB), Raul Martinez (SR); Unsung: Aaron Parker (SLWC)
Week 3: Offense: Sam Vaughn (FPC), Trevor Boice (SF); Defense: Anthony Gamble (FPC), Tate Williams (SE); Unsung: Dan Culumber (JC)
Week 4: Offense: Jordan Watkins (JC), Nate Simmons (MC); Defense: Brian Carter (SE), Kody Stripling (SF); Unsung: Cody Walker (OK)
Week 5: Offense: Tyrell Moring (PSL), Nick Cooper (SR); Defense: Nico Sawtelle (JB), Khalil Shaheed (SLWC); Unsung: Brandon Letcher
Week 6:Offense: Nick Cooper (SR), Alquawn Vickers (FPC), Daryl Norwood (SE); Defense: Rashawn Shaw (FPC), Tommy Galucci (SF); Unsung: Garrett Stambaugh (SR)

99-Day NFL Warning: The Candidates for This Year's Cowboys Scapegoat Are Already Piling Up
What's that? You were wondering exactly how many days until the start of the NFL season? Well, you're in luck! We here at the Triangle are set to spend the next three and a half months providing a daily reason to get excited about pro football's return.
The panic button seems to be armed a little early this year at Valley Ranch. I mean, sure, when the Cowboys went 8-8 a year ago, someone had to go (that someone turned out to be defensive coordinator Rob Ryan), but at least the blame was handed down after Dallas missed the playoffs for the third straight year. Hell, even Wade Phillips got until November back in 2010. This year, it's not even June, and it seems like people are already trying to find out who's at fault for the 2013 Cowboys. And as long as they are, we might as well take a look at the candidates.
Head coach Jason Garrett
The obvious choice. Garrett's statement yesterday that everyone "is playing and coaching for their jobs" is a not-so-veiled attempt at hinting that yeah, he knows he's coaching for his. Four straight playoff-less seasons won't be tolerated in Jerry's World, and Garrett will probably be the first one out the door if Dallas stumbles.
There is one wrinkle, though. Back in January, Jerry Jones reportedly said that Garrett wouldn't be the Cowboys' offensive playcaller, but as of a couple weeks ago, the play-calling issue still wasn't settled. Jones has apparently left the decision up to Garrett, and by "decision," I mean the sort of decision afforded in Bane's Gotham. If Garrett calls the plays and the Cowboys' offense struggles, he's gone. If Garrett allows someone else to call the plays and the Cowboys' offense struggles, he's the one who made the choice.
At least with the second option, there's the slightest chance that the blame can be deflected to whomever Garrett appoints, and that brings us to …
Offensive coordinator Bill Callahan
It's been a rough year for Callahan. It started with Tim Brown accusing him of sabotaging the Super Bowl while Callahan was the head coach in Oakland, and now there's a chance he gets the play-calling nod in Dallas and gets accused of sabotaging the Cowboys' season.
Quarterback Tony Romo
"When you give somebody $100 million, then you would like to get every ounce of anything they can bring to the table to win a football game." That is Jones being super subtle to NFL Network's Albert Breer about what he expects from Romo. Romo's massive new contract probably has something to do with it, but he's already done a lot of apologizing this offseason. He's cut back on his golf, made it clear that he only found out about needing surgery for a cyst in his back after signing his new deal, and let everyone know that he's a better quarterback than his record shows.
I don't know what Romo is so worried about. Cowboys' fans have always been super forgiving of him, so I don't see how being absurdly rich could change that.
Defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin
The successor to the dearly departed Ryan, Kiffin is arriving to Dallas with a brand-new defensive scheme that should dramatically change how the Cowboys use their personnel. DeMarcus Ware has been one of the best defensive players in the NFL for the past five years, but now he'll move from a 3-4 outside linebacker to a 4-3 defensive end. Sean Lee will transition to a true middle linebacker, and Dallas's base defense will now require one more body from its already thin defensive line.
That shouldn't be a problem. Kiffin is a legend with a track record of high-level NFL success. Nobody should be concerned that he's 73 years old, hasn't coached in the NFL since 2008, coordinated the 40th-ranked scoring defense in Division I last season, and was the pioneer of a defense that's becoming less and less prevalent in the NFL. I'm sure none of that will come up if Peyton Manning throws for 430 yards in Week 5.
Owner/GM Jerry Jones
Jones has had a special year so far, even by his standards. To quickly review, he maintained that Dallas's awful offensive line was fine because Romo is elusive, vowed to go down with the S.S. 2008 Cowboys Draft, and gave Romo $100 million.
Still, including Jones on this list seems like a futile exercise. He should probably be the scapegoat for the entire Romo era in Dallas — starting with the Roy Williams trade and ending with the Cowboys picking a first-round center with a third-round grade a month ago — but there isn't much using in making him such. Jones has turned the Cowboys franchise into such a moneymaking machine that when Texas secedes, there's a good chance he becomes king and they name the currency after him, but he's turned the Cowboys roster into a top-heavy salary bloat that has kept Dallas out of the elite tier of the NFC. None of that matters, though — not while he's still in charge. So take your pick of the others. My head says Garrett, but like it usually does, my heart is going with Romo.

I love experiencing new things and exploring new places. I have a strong passion for traveling and find that each travel experience gives me the energy to keep trudging along.

Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.

O'Malley isn't perfect, but he's no thug
It's OK if op-ed contributor Marta Mossburg doesn't like Gov. Martin O'Malley's politics, and it's OK if The Sun publishes her work, however lacking in substance it may be. But it's not OK for her to call the governor a "thug" ("O'Malley's thuggish side," Jan. 2).

It's been over a week since I returned from the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop in Dayton, Ohio. This means that there are less than 103 weeks until the next one. I. Can't. Wait.
Before going to the conference, I felt disconnected from writing, as if I was at war with my words. They would occupy my mind, bounce around my brain, but find no place to settle, leaving them, and me, senseless and lost.
I needed to fall in love with words again, and the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop helped push me in that direction. I can honestly say that buying that ticket was one of the nicest things I've ever done for myself. I came away from the conference with renewed inspiration. And stronger abdominal muscles from laughing so hard. (Did I mention that this event was especially for human interest and HUMOR writers?)
I wish I could adequately recap for you all of the sessions and keynote speakers. I wish I could describe fully the feeling of love and awe in the room when Phil Donahue spoke of Erma, when he showed clips of her many appearances on his show. This woman was a force – one I had underestimated until I participated in a three day ode to her brilliance. I wonder what it felt like for her children, who were all in attendance, to watch their mother on the screen in a room filled with people who adored her writing, her presence, and her unique-yet-oh-so-familiar message.
I wish I could fully explain what I felt as I sat in on the session – Women Writing Their Lives – with Gina Barreca, Ilene Beckerman, Suzanne Braun Levine, and moderator Patricia Wynn Brown. The words and stories and laughs that these women shared with us ring in my ears over a week later, leaving the whispered message, "You can do it." The lessons they unknowingly imparted about writing and life and their genuine and kind presence will stay with me always.
I attended this conference to find inspiration and purpose for my writing. I hoped to meet writers I have long admired and to meet writers that I had not yet discovered. I anticipated sharing laughs with my friend, Kari, and our LTYM Chicago sisters, Erin and Shannan, in our native (except Erin) Ohio.
I went hoping Erma could put my words and me back on the same page again.
I left the Erma Bombeck Writers Workshop full of energy, hope, the healthy glow of camaraderie, and cake.
I cannot think of a better result.

Girl Scouts of Nassau County recently recognized Krista Longobardi and Meaghan Smith, both students at Floral Park Memorial High School, for individually earning their Gold Award, the highest and most prestigious award within the Girl Scouts Organization. In order to be eligible for a Gold Award, a Girl Scout must have completed two Girl Scout Senior or Ambassador Journeys or have already received the Silver Award and completed one additional Journey. The Gold Award also requires the completion of 80-hours or more of an individual leadership Take Action project that makes a sustainable and measurable impact on an important issue, or need in the community, and that serves to educate and inspire others in the community.
Longobardi's Girl Scout Gold Award Take Action Project, Pick Your Pet, teaches children ages 5-12 the benefits of owning a pet. She was able to educate her community on the adoption process, the best pet for your household, and how adoption can save an animal's life. Longobardi's love of animals made it easy to spread knowledge on this topic. She improved her communication and public speaking skills as a result of her project since she spoke in front of her community leaders and peers.

Los Angeles Galaxy secured their passage to the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions League with a 3-0 win at Cartagines.
The Major League Soccer side made a superb start against their Costa Rican opponents with John McBean opening the scoring after only five minutes.
Eleven minutes later it was 2-0 when Chandler Hoffman converted Michael Stephens' assist, before Laurent Courtois rounded out the victory in the 30th minute.
Victory for Bruce Arena's team means the Galaxy have an unassailable lead at the top of Group 8 with one game left to play in the CONCACAF Champions League group stage
Houston Dynamo put their fate in their own hands with a 2-0 home victory over Trinidad and Tobago's W Connection.
Goals either side of half-time to Jason Johnson and Robert Boswell secured the valuable three points to lift Dynamo to top of Group 1, with a one-point advantage over Panama's Arabe Unido.
Dynamo will travel to Arabe Unido on the next match day, with a draw or better guaranteeing a quarter-final berth.
Group 6 will also go down to the last game after Guatemala's Comunicaciones defeated Trinidad and Tobago's Caledonia AIA 2-0 with two first-half goals.
Jairo Arreola and Joel Benitez were the scorers with both assists laid on by left-winger Carlos Figueroa.
In the final game in Group 6 on October 23, Toluca, who are top of the group, will host Communicaciones, who are three points behind their Mexican opponents in the standings.
Only a victory will snatch a quarter-final spot for Communicaciones, who must better their 2-1 away defeat at Toluca earlier in the tournament to progress.

Repairs at Logan Airport Stir Fears of Delays
Aug. 19--If you're planning to get on an airplane between now and Labor Day, prepare for delays.
You won't know exactly when, but you'll know where: Logan International Airport.
As part of a $7.5 million repaving and reconstruction project, Logan officials said, they have to shut down one of the airport's two major runways for 40 hours this weekend. And in the following two weeks, there will be four more runway closings, two of them scheduled for 40 hours, and two that could last up to about 56 hours.
The hitch is they can't predict when the shutdowns will occur. They all depend -- literally -- on which way the wind is blowing.
Logan officials hope to avoid a repeat of the situation that occurred during parts of the first shutdown, Monday evening through yesterday morning. It ended up lasting 58 hours. The prevailing winds shifted to the northwest, leaving just two operable runways at times.
The situation contributed to an estimated 205 flight delays, many lasting 30 minutes or longer, a Massachusetts Port Authority spokeswoman said.
Victor Viktorov, a senior management consultant with Axia Ltd. in Boston, was returning from New York on the Delta Shuttle at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday when the pilot warned "there's some kind of runway stoppage in Boston, and they don't know why." Viktorov's flight landed about 30 minutes late.
Marlin Collingwood, a managing director with the public relations firm Bell Pottinger USA, said he dreads the two flights he has planned for next week, to Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, both in Pennsylvania. He fears runway shutdowns could delay him.
"I find Logan, on the whole, to be a little more reliable than other airports in terms of delays, but there never seems to be any rhyme or reason to when you do have trouble," Collingwood said. "It will seem like a perfect day to fly, and something will happen. This runway issue just adds to that angst."
The Logan project involves resurfacing and repairing lights along the 10,000-foot runway called 4R/22L, which sends departing planes over Belle Isle Marsh in East Boston or Castle Island in South Boston, depending on wind direction. It's one of five runways at Logan.
Massport spokesman Phil Orlandella said the construction plan requires shutting down the runway for three more 40-hour intervals, and two 56-hour intervals.
"When they schedule that all depends on the winds," Orlandella said.
Massport aims to have the work done by Labor Day, or soon after.
David Donbek, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather Inc., which provides data to thousands of businesses and media clients, said predicting the prevailing wind direction 24 to 48 hours out is not that difficult at this time of year in Boston.
"Late summer tends to be more of a 'steady as she goes situation' than winter or spring, but there are always exceptions," he said.
Boston can expect so-called Bermuda high weather formations this month that would generate steady and predictable winds from the southwest, Donbek added, which would be optimal times for runway closings.
Planes can have problems taking off with a strong tailwind. When the wind direction shifts to the northwest, that can sharply limit use of Logan's second 10,000-foot runway, which aims planes southeast, over Boston Harbor.
Once Massport decides to shut down a runway, it has to keep working -- even if the wind shifts and begins threatening to cause delays -- because of the high cost of sending home construction crews.
Northwest winds became a problem Tuesday and Wednesday, contributing to about 155 delayed flights during an eight-hour period Tuesday and 50 more flights delayed during two hours on Wednesday.
Yesterday, runway work did not cause any delays, Massport said.
Construction crews will try to schedule the remaining work for periods when the winds are forecast to blow mainly or solely from directions other than northwest. Summer winds normally blow from the southwest. However, Orlandella said, "There's going to be some delays."
Given the amount of work to be done -- and the short stretch of time when northwest winds are most rare -- Massport concluded it could not do the work solely on weekends, officials said.
Officials at American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, the biggest and second-biggest carriers at Logan, ranked by passenger volume, minimized the impact of the construction work. They said they are confident travelers won't experience major problems.
Delta and American said they were reluctant to blame flight delays earlier this week specifically on Logan's runway work, given the way rainstorms or tarmac snarls in New York, Chicago, or Washington can cause ripple-effect delays for planes headed to Boston.
"Delta is expecting little, if any, customer impact during the few days the runway is under construction, and we are eager to see the project completed, as it will help us deliver on our commitment to a safe, comfortable customer experience," Delta spokeswoman Chris Kelly said.
American spokesman Ned Raynolds said: "We understand that the work needs to be done. We've had so many arrival delays for other reasons, so we can't say if any of those are caused" solely by the runway work.
Neil Bergquist, a Brighton pharmaceutical industry consultant who flies out of Logan two to five times a month, said his view of the inconvenience caused by the shutdowns is that "it really underscores the need to expand the runways at Logan."
After decades of battles with East Boston airport-expansion opponents, Massport this spring began construction on a sixth runway, called 14/32. It's scheduled to open late next year and will allow takeoffs only over the harbor, for smaller jets and private aircraft.
"Given the recent uptick in air travel, now more than ever there's a need to do it," Bergquist said.

Ross; Herbert Dubno [57] ABSTRACT A folding device on a packaging machine for wrapping goods in a foil comprises a device for feeding goods to be wrapped along a path and an arrangement for supplying a foil having lateral end portions and a front vertical foil portion as well as a rear end portion and an overhanging upper horizontal foil portion, toward 1 the path, for wrapping around the goods. A device seals and cuts the foil during the feeding of the goods. A rigid first folding finger effects inward folding of a front vertical portion of the foil. A rear folding device includes a second folding finger for folding the rear end portion of the foil. The rear folding device includes a supporting finger, and a device for setting the support ng finger intermittently below the overhanging upper horizontal foil portion.
2 Claims, 8 Drawing Figures PATENTEDMARI 1197s SHEET 2 4 FOLDING DEVICE FOR PACKAGING MACHINES The present invention relates to a folding device for a packaging machine, which wraps goods in foil and closes the ends by folding and gluing or heat-sealing, the folding inwards of the front vertical portion of the foil being effected by a rigid folding finger, while the rear end portion can be folded in by a rear folding device which travels along with the goods and is provided with a second folding finger.
Known foil packaging machines frequently form a wrap or sleeve, which protrudes at the side ends, around the goods. During a subsequent step the foil protruding at the ends is folded inwardly by folding device in such a manner that it rests snugly and neatly against the goods.
In known folding devices of the aforementioned type, the front vertical portion of the foil is folded by a stationary folding finger, past which the wrapped material passes, while the rear vertical portion of the foil is folded in by a second folding finger of a rear folding device, which travels along with the goods to be packed and leads the same somewhat. Thereupon the remaining upper and lower horizontal portions of the foil are folded over and the foil is then fixed by heat sealing or gluing in this position.
In order to obtain a complete closure of the ends of the package, the foil sleeve must protrude at the ends beyond the package to such an extent that an overlapping fold is possible. With an increase in the height or size ofthe goods, correspondingly more foil must therefore protrude at the ends. For a proper folding it is absolutely necessary that the protruding parts of the foil wrap extend as straight and as smoothly as possible since undulations, folds or sags in the foils prevent clean folding.
With increasing size of the package and thus increasing projection of the foil beyond the ends, the thickness of the foil and therefore its stiffness are not increased in the same proportion. As a result the cantilevered foil portions are unstable at the ends and therefore cannot be properly folded. In particular, the sagging of the upper horizontal portion of the foil warp presents a considerable problem. Thus it has already been attempted to prevent the sagging of the sheet by jets of air. The fluttering of the sheet which is unavoidable in this case, however, results in other serious disadvantages.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a folding device for a foil packaging machine which is capable of producing at alltimes a good, clean fold and which avoids the disadvantages and defects of the aforementioned apparatus.
According to the present invention, the folding device for a packaging machine has a rear folding device with a supporting finger which can be intermittently brought over the protruding upper horizontalal portion of the foil wrap.
The present invention thus does away with the overhang of the upper foil parts, which interferes with the formation of a clean. dependable fold. The device acts intermittently. i.e., during a folding period in which the upper part of the foil is not as yet folded, since the front and rear ends are first folded inwardly. As soon as this has been done, the supporting finger releases the upper part of the foil for the final folding.
In practice, the folding finger of the rear folding device can be swingable about an axis perpendicular to the direction of transport of the goods from a position of rest outside the path of the foil into a position of action on the foil so that the folding finger and the supporting finger alternately act on the foil.
By the swingable arrangement of the folding finger of the rear folding device and the connection of the supporting finger with it. it is possible, with an extremely simple mechanism to ensure that the supporting finger always comes into engagement for as long as is necessary to prevent the sagging of the upper foil portion before the folding finger of the rear folding device can enter into action. As soon as the folding finger of the rear folding device swings around and folds inwardly the rear vertical portion of the foil, the supporting finger can release the upper horizontal portion of the foil for the final folding, whereby an extremely clean and precise folding is obtained.
The unit comprising the folding finger and the supporting finger can have a rotatable shaft with the folding finger and supporting finger firmly connected with it. Such a shaft is a structurally simple and economical drive means for the intermittently acting folding and supporting fingers.
The device of the invention is structurally simple and is capable, by intermittent support of sagging foil portions of producing a dependable clean fold even in the case of large packages with nonself-supporting foil wraps.
These and other objects will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description, reference being made to, the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIGS. 1, 3, 5 and 7 are schematic side elevations of the device of the present invention in different phases of the operation during a folding process; and
FIGS. 2, 4, 6 and 8 are the corresponding top plan views;
belts 1 and 2 of the packaging machine transport arti cles3 to be wrapped in the direction indicated by the arrow W. The foil required for the packaging is drawn from foil-supply rolls 4. A heat-sealing device 6, consisting of two opposed members heat seals and cuts the two webs of foil behind the goods 3 and, at the same time, heat seals a seam at foil ends withdrawn from the rolls 4 and several from the package, so that a wrap is formed around the goods. The cut ends of the foils withdrawn from the rolls 4 are so heat sealed to each other that they form a curtain which can intercept the leading side of an oncoming article, as can be noted in particular from FIG. 3.
Behind the heat sealing device 6, as seen in the direction of the transport of the goods, there is located laterally alongside of the goods 3 a ski-shaped, rigid and fixed folding finger 5, which folds the front vertical portion of the overhanging foil corresponding against the end of the article. This rigid folding finger 5 is so arranged that the front vertical part of the sheet is folded inwards before the heat-sealing and cutting device 6 heat-seals and cuts the webs of foil unwound from the rolls 4.
Laterally adjacent the conveyor belts 1 and 2 there is arranged between the heat-sealing device 6 and the rigid folding finger 5 a rear folding device 7 to 10. The latter device includes a carriage 7 shiftable in the direction of transport of the goods (arrow W) and which carries a shafts rotatable asshown abouta vertical axis- .perpendi'cular-to-the direction of. displacement of the carriage and which forms the connection between the longitudinally displaceable carriage 7 and the swingable folding finger 9, and a supporting finger 10. Bifur,- cated folding finger. 9, which straddles the finger 5, and supporting finger are angularly offseton and are coupled with this shaft 8, so as to be entrained therewith in its rotation,
FIGS. 1 and 2 show the article 3 at a time just before the end of the formation of the sleeve. The article is located with its front face already in the region of the rigid folding finger 5, so that the front vertical foil portion is folded in, while the foil parts of the wrap are still connected with the supply rolls 4. The folding finger 9 is at'this point located outside the path of the foil wrap, while the supporting finger 10 is already in its active position, underlying the upper portion.
After the heat sealing of the parts of the foil behind the goods 3, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the foil sleeve is already separated from the rolls 4 and the tension under which the wrap was held previously, is no longer present, so that the upper horizontal portion 11 of the wrap tends to sag downward on the goods. This sagging horizontal portion 11 rests on the supporting finger 10, to provide room for the inward folding of the rear vertical portion of the foil.
The shaft 8 is then rotated and the fork-shaped movable folding finger 9, by swinging in the direction towards the goods 3, folds the rear part of the wrap inwards. As the goods continue to move, the entire rearfolding device moves via the carriage 7 in the direction of transport W of the goods, until the rear vertical portion which has been folded in by the folding finger 9 is located beneath the rigid folding finger 5, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. Simultaneously with the inward swinging of the folding finger 9, the supporting finger 10, which is coupled with the folding finger 9, so as to be carried along upon the swinging thereof, clears the upper horizontal portion 11 of the foil to enable it to fold downwardly.
While the goods 3 are transported further to the next processing station, where heat-sealing, gluing, labeling or the like take place, the entire rear folding device moves back via the carriage 7 into the starting position, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, only when the front edge of the next article 3' is at the rigid folding finger 5. By the inward folding of the front side of the wrap which then takes place, the folding finger 9, upon backward movement, can pass into the sleeve. After the starting position, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, has been reached, the shaft 8 turns the folding finger 9 out of the wrap and the supporting finger 10 is at the same time turned into the next sleeve, after the heat-sealing of the wrap which then takes place, to support the upper horizontal portion of of the next wrap. The process is then repeated in the manner described above.
I claim:
1. In a packaging machine for wrapping articles in a foil, the combination which comprises:
transport means for feeding said articles along a path;
means for feeding a lower foil along the underside of said article and an upper foil along the upper side of said article with said foils laterally overhanging ends of the article;
means for sealing said foils together, thereby forming a sleeve with the overhanging portions of the foil including a vertical front portion, a horizontal upper portion and a vertical rear portion;
a fixed first folding finger disposed along said path and engageable with the vertical front portion of a sleeve wrapped around an article displaced along said path for folding said vertical front portion inwardly against the latter article;
a shaft disposed alongside said path and rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the direction of feed of said articles;
a supporting finger mounted on said shaft and swingable thereby into a position underlying said horizontal upper portion of said sleeve for supporting said horizontal upper portion against sagging; and
a second folding finger mounted on said shaft below said support finger and angularly offset therefrom which swings by said shaft into engagement with said rear vertical portion to fold the same inwardly against the article into a space maintained by the support of said horizontal upper portion by said support.
2. The combination defined in claim 1 wherein said second folding finger is bifurcated to straddle said first folding finger, said combination further comprising a carriage shiftable along said path and supporting said shaft.

Each new member of the Hall of Fame was introduced by someone of importance to them by a special video recording or in the case of Burrows, in person. Burton was presented by her father who in addition to being her parent, was her basketball coach growing up. Former women's soccer coach Mike Johnson introduced Foss as he was her coach during her time as a Dolphin. Runge's presenter was Dolphin head baseball coach Terry Alexander. He was an assistant coach during the time that Runge spent at JU. Heywood's business partner and friend Dan Davis of the Brumos Companies recorded his message at the Brumos Museum containing several of Heywood's famous championship vehicles. The final presenter of the night was JU Hall of Famer Tom Wasdin. He was Burrows assistant coach during the magical 1970 season.
After being introduced, each of the honorees took to the podium where they all shared feelings of great gratitude and respect for being recognized for their accomplishments and contributions to JU athletics.
Videos of the presentations and the acceptance speeches will be made available online.
