Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
An apparatus for embossing reel wound webs of wrapping material, particularly suitable for producing a continuous succession of embossed pieces or sheets to be fed to high speed wrapping-packeting machines on which wrapping material of what is known as the foil type can be used at very high output speeds, is disclosed. The apparatus is provided with a plurality of auxiliary tracks which converge into one single collation track, each auxiliary track being equipped with a pair of embossing rollers through which the wrapping material, unwound from a reel, passes, the said embossing rollers being coupled to each other so that the rotation ratio between the matrix roller and the counter-matrix roller is a multiple of at least 2:1. When the reel wound material comes to an end, one pair of the embossing rollers is stopped and, at the same time, the other pair of embossing rollers associated with another auxiliary track comes into operation, with the whole sequence being controlled by sensor devices connected to the pairs of embossing rollers. As a result of there being a plurality of auxiliary tracks and a particular rotation ratio chosen for the said pairs of embossing rollers, it is possible for their life span to be considerably longer than that ever possible on similar apparatus,

Description

The present invention relates -to apparatus for embossing reel wound webs of wrapping material, and is particularly suit-able for producing a continuous succession of embossed pieces or sheets for feeding to high speed automatic wrapping-packaging machines.
Usually reel wound webs of wrapping material to be used in the form of pieces or sheets on wrapping machines in general ; and on fast packeting machines for cigarettes and other similar articles in particular, are embossed by passing the webs of wrapp- ;~
ing material between a pair of embossing rollers, one of which, normally called the matrix roller, is made of steel and has on , its cylindrical sur~ace the motif or design it is wished to em-boss on the wrapping material. The matrix roller, for example, may be a screen with 24 lines per linear centimetre made (as is known) by a photo-engraving process. The other roller known as the counter roller or counter matrix has at least its external cylindrical surface made of a relatively pliable material, such as rubber, impregnated paper treated with special chemical sub-stances, or plastic material, etc., on which the counter design is produced through a rolling action with heat and pressure against the steel matrix roller.
As is known, these embossing devices which, as seen !
above are operated mechanically, have a relatively short life span, particularly when used to emboss wrapping material of the type known as foil, such as metal or metal-type foil, employed for the formation of the inner wrap on packets of cigarettes of the type known, for example, as hinge lid packets, shell and slide packets, shoulder box packets, etc.
The object of the present invention is, therefore, to provide apparatus for embossing reel wound webs of wrapping mat-erial, the life span of which is long even when it is used on wrapping-packeting machines operating at a very high output speed and employing wrapping material of the type known as foil.

7;~
Specifically, the present invention relates to appar-atus for embossing reel wround webs o~ wrapping material, parti-; cularly suitable ~or producing a continuous succession of em-bossed pieces or sheets to be fed to high speed automatic wrapp-ing-packeting machines, the apparatus comprising:
a track for collating and forwarding the wrapping mat-erial and cutting means along the collation track for system- , atically severing the wrapping material into sheets, a plurality of auxilliary tracks converging into the 10 collation track, and i~
: .. ...
; a reel of wrapping material associated with each auxi-lliary track and means for channeling material from the reel -`
along its respective auxilliary track, and a pair of embossing rollers along each auxilliary track with the rollers in each pair being coupled with a rotation ratio between matrix roller and counter matrix roller of at least 2:1 and multiples thereof, and sensor means along each auxilliary track to con-trol severing of the material by the said cutting means into sheets of specific length, and for detecting the end of material being fed from the respective reel, and follow-up means controlled by the sensor means to stop rotation of one pair of embossing rollers when the end of material is detected and for commencing rotation of the emboss- i ing rollers along another auxilliary track and the feeling of ;
material therealong, `~
whereby to provide a continuous supply of wrapping material to the collation track.
Further objects and advantages will become clear from the following detailed description of a preferred but not sole form of embodiment for the apparatus according to the invention, ;
.. . .
as illustrated in the one accompanying drawing which is in the form of a diagrammatic view.
In the drawing, which represents a form of embodiment
-2 . . '` .
suitable for the apparatus according to Canadian Patent Appli-cation, Serial No. 202,466, filed June 13, 1974, in the name of the present applicants, Bl is a first reel of wrapping material, for example, lined foil, mounted in a rotatable fashion on a horizontal spindle (not numbered) and the material Nl is unwound from the said reel by a pair of infeed rollers Rl and R2 on horizontal parallel spindles (also not numbered).
Below the rollers Rl and R2 a cutting device is pro~
vided consisting of a roller Cl fitted with a blade operating in conjunction with a counter roller C2. The purpose of the said device is to cut the continuous web Nl into cuttings S which are then fed to a wrapping machine not shown on the drawings.
.~, ,. . ~
The rollers Rl-R2 and the rotating knives Cl-C2 define a vertical infeed track for the material, lying in a plane here-inafter referred to as the main plane which represents, in the particular form of embodiment described herein, a plane of sym-metry for the entire device.
At rl and r2 there are two rollers on horizontal parallel spindles and these, which are placed immediately below the reel Bl, operate in .~

., .; :

o~
conjunction with each other and have the purpose of acting as an auxiliary or pre-infeed system for the material Nl from the reel B1.
The said pre-infeed rollers rl-r2 in conjunction with the rollers R1~R2 in turn define a plane or infeed track for the material N1 which is non-coincidental with the aforementioned main infeed plane. `
A sensor device F1 is provided between the said pre-infeed rollers rl-r2 and the reel Bl and this detects the end of the material Nl on the said ~ .
reel Bl; and below the said pre-infeed rollers rl-r2, along the said infeed track, an auxiliary cutting device consisting of a roller c2 fitted with a bladeoperating in conjunction with a counter roller cl, is provided. Again along the infeed track for the material Nl, in the area between the device cl-c2 and the rollers Rl-R2, a fixed guide Gl is placed.
In a position symmetrical with ~he first reel B1 with respect to the main infeed plane a second reel B2 for material N2 is mounted and this is here-inafter referred to as the new or reserve reel. Two rollers rl~ and r21 con- -~
stitute the auxiliary infeed system for the reel B2, and at c2~ there is a roller j ~ -fitted with a blade and this operates in conjunction with a counter rollers c1~ on material N2.
The roilers r1~ and r21 are mounted symmetrically with the pre-infeed rollers r1 and r2 of the reel Bl with respect to the main infeed plane and the ~`
cutting system cl l~c2~ is symme trical with the cutting system cl-c2 for the material Nl with respect to the said plane.
The same applies to fixed guide G2 with respect to he aforementioned guide Gl as wel~as to a sensor device F2 with respect to the aforementioned sensor device ~.
As a result of the foregoing, the infeed track for the reel B2, defined by the pre-infeed rollers rl'-r2~ in conjunction with the rnain infeed rollers Rl_R2, is symmetrical with the infeed track for the reel Bl with respect to the main infeed plane.
Along each auxiliary track ~or the material N1 and N2, or to be more precise, between the pairs of rollers ~1-r2; cl-c2 and rl l-r2~; cl l-c2~, respec-tively, an embossing device shown in its entirety as ~ and Z2, respectively, is located. s Each embossing device Zl-Z2 consists of a pair of rollers numbered _3 : ~ ~ .'! ' ' ';

g1 -g2 and gl l-g21, resp ectivel y.
The rollers gl and gll, normally called !he matrix roilers, are made ; of steel and have on their cylindrical surface the motif or design it is wished to emboss on the wrapping material, and may be, for example, a screen with 24 4 lines per linear centimetre made by a photo-engraving process.
The rollers 92 and g2~9 known as the counter rollers or counter matrix rollers have at least their external cylindrical surface made of a relati-vely pliable material, such as rubber, impregnated paper treated with special chemical substances, or plastic material, etc., on which the counter design is produced through a rolling action with heat and pressure against the steel matrix roller concerned, that is to say, 9l or gllo The pairs of rollers gl-g2 and gl~-g2~ are coupled in pairs so that the rotation ratio between the matrix roller gl or gl~ and the counter matrix g2or g2~, respectively, is a multiple of at least 2~
The pairs of rollers gl-g2 and gl~-g2~ are provided with known means, not shown on the drawing, connected to the sensor devices F2 and F1, for st~pping the corresponding rotation ~e~t once the material concerned is exhausted and for operating the movement on the other track when the materialconcerned moves forwardly thereon~
With an apparatus ~5f this particular nature it is obvious that the life span of the embossing devices Zl and Z2 is considerably longer than that of similar devices used in conjunction with known apparatus employed for this type of work and this obviously is not only on account of the rotation ratio chosen between the embossing rol lers of each pair but also and above all because of the auxuliary tracks with which the said apparatus is provided.
