Description

a~ r~

The present Inverltlon relntes to an apparat-ls for ~ac~~
aglng products wlt1~ fllm ma-~erlal~ comprlsln~ a frame struc~ure and a member for wrapplng the Fllm materlal around a statlonary product.

Varlous products are Packaged by wrapplng the product wlth fllm by two d~F~erent me~hods. In the flrst me-thod the product Is placed on a rotatable base, and the packa~lng fllm Is wrapped around the procluct on the rotatable base.
A drawback of such a ~ethod Is that, owlng to the rota-tlon of the product, It Is dlfflcult to keep the product together and statlonary on the rotatlng base. Automatlon of til~ packaglng operatlon In thls method Is dlfflcult and expenslve due to the varlous anclllary l~ems requlred, such as the label appllcator and presslng devlce, and the need to pull the topslde f~lm of the package by ~eans of a separate unlt placed outslde the rota-tlnJ
means. The conveyor deslgns for the products on the packagln~
machlne are cumbersome. In addltlon, when thls method Is ZO employed, labour sa~ety Is poor, and In general a comparatlvely wide safety zone Is necessary.

Another pack~sglng method known In the art In wh I ch the produc~ Is statlonary and the wrapplng o~ fllm around 'che sta-tlonary product Is performed by a klnd of cran~shaFt ~echanlsmWlth a rotata~le shaft. The greateSt drawback o~ th~s second prlor art method Is the appllcatlon of the tops1de tlIm onto the product. The use oF a label appllcator and pressln~ devlce also causes numerous problems. In addl~lon, l~bour safe~y Is even poorer than In the flrst method, and an even wlder saFety zone Is requlred.

The present Inventlon provldes an Improvement In pack-aglng maohlnes known In present art. In partlcular the Invel-tlon provldes a pactc~sglng machlne In whlc.h the drawbacks descrlbecl In the for~golng are a~levlated.

the Inventlon, no problems arl se I n the packaglng process from the topslde fllm pulllng; and, l~ needed, ~he devlce o~ the Inventlon may wlth ease be Fltted wlth a label applicator or marklng devlce.
~0 The Inventlon wlll now be descrlbed In more detall, by way of reference to the accompanylng drawlngs, In whlch:-Flg. 1 Is an advantageous embodIment of the apparatus accordlng to the Inventlon In elevatlonal vlew; and Flg. 2 shows the apparatus o~ Flg. 1 In top vlew.

In the embodlment shown In flg.s 1 and Z, the apparatus of the Inventlon In general has been Indicated wlth referencenumeral 10. The appara~us 10 comprlses a frame structure 11, In whlch has been dlsposed a rotatable frame assembly 12, arranged to be rotated by a rotator means 14. The supportlng frame of the rotatable frame assembly 12 Is Indlcated by the reference numeral
2~ 13. In thls embodlment, a motor 14 Is provlded to rotate the frame assembly 12 over a belt pulley 16, a belt 16 and a puli~y 17 belon~lng to the frame assembly 12.

In the rota-table fram~ as~embly 1Z has been moun-ted a roll of fllm materlal 18, as well as bra~lng and dlvertlng rolls 19, t'ne functlon of whlch Is to malntaln a sultable tenslon In the fllm comlng from the fllm roll 18. In the frame structure 11, a grlpplng ~ember 20 has been also provlde~.

means 22.
The appara-hls 10 furthermore compx:ises topslc~e filr[l~-u:L~
ing means and a topside Eilm cut~off means. In -the present elnb~
ment, an idler roll 24 and a -traction roll 25 have been provided to pull the topside film roll 26. Reference numeral 27 indicates the topside film cut-off means. Reference numeral 28 indica-tes a holder device for the edge of -the cut-off topside film. Reference numeral 29 indicates -the topside film gripping and pulling device.
The frame assembly 12 is raisable and lowerable in the vertical direction. In the present embodiment, the drive means 30 are disposed to move the supporting frame 13 of the frame assembly 12 up and down.
By the reference numeral 31 has been indicated the drive means of the gripping and pulling means 29 for the topside film material roll 26. Reference numeral 32 indicates a roller track, conveyor track or other equivalent conveyor by the aid of which the products to be packaged are transported to the packing device 10.
Reference numeral 33 indicates a photocell.
The operation of the device 10 of the invention is as follows: When the product to be packaged, fetched by the conveyor device 32, e.g. a pallet carrying packages, enters between -the height measuring cells 33, the frame assembly 12 is automatically adjusted to the proper height. The pallet moves into the apparatus 10, and the photocell 33 stops the pallet in the center. Thereafter, the pressing device 22 descends on the product, and the frame assembly 12 descends to its bottom position. Next, the frame assembly 12 starts to rotate when the rotating means 14 starts, whereby the initial end of the film in the gripping means 20 is lif-ted up, out of the way, and applied against -the side of the product. Subsequent to the first wrapping turn, the film comes free from the gripping device 20, and with the aid of the rotation of the ~ra~le assembly 12, the lower courses are wrapped around the product. After the first ~ 3 --top course, the Erame assembly 12 stops and descends a C.el^ tcl:in distance. ThereaEter, -the topside fi]m is pulled from -the topside film roll 26 over the product being pac]caged, and -the t~pside Eil is cut with the aid of the cut-off means 27, e.g. a resistallce wire. Next, the pulling claws of -the topside Eilm gripping and pulling means 29 let go, and the topside film descends on the pro-duct. Thereafter, the pressing means 22 descends again, to press down on the topside film and on -the product. Next, the frame assembly 12 starts to rotate again, and wraps the upper courses around the product. During the last wrapping turn, one half of the gripping means descends. After the film roll 18 has stopped, the gripping means closes, impacting the film. Thereafter, the cut-off and seaming means 21 is switched on, and the pressing means 22 ascends to its top position. Next, the finished product packed in film material passes out from the apparatus lO.
If needed, it is possible to install on the supporting frame of the frame assembly, for instance, a label applicator or other marking device by which the desired markings are made on -the product to be packaged.
In the foregoing, only one advantageous embodiment of the invention has been presented, and it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that numerous modifications thereof are possible within the scope of the inventive idea presented in the claims following below.
