Description

G I ~ I S.r.l. - Citt~ di Castello tPG) * * * *
"Machinery for wrapping book~, magaz~nes and ~he like ~ith paper"
* * * *
For several year~ now magazlne~ and boolcs-~re being sold with polyethylene wrappers, whlch are an effective means of protection from any damage which could occur during transportatisR; such a w~apping mach~ne, for example, is described in a CMC paten~, no. 1.196.631 dated 19~h Septemb2r 1986, This fully automatic machin~ takes one magazine or other object at a tlme and wrsps i~ in an adequately cut and ~led PVC wrapper~ Growing concern for environmental pollu~ion and a certain degree of aversion to the widespread use of plastic materials, which are consider~d dangerous pollutan~n becau~e they are not blodegradable, however, ha~ led to the ~tudy and planning of a machine for ~rapplng newspapers, magazines and the like w~h paper and other simllar materlals.
The objec~ of this lnven~ion is a totally automatic wrapping machlne for new~papers~ magazines, books and the like, with ehe use of any klnd of paper, fea~ur~ng a very high wrapping Rpeed, two way~ of glueing the edges of the wrapper length~ and th~ ps~lblllty of obtainlng two z ~ `
different flnl3hing~) by modifying the end part of the machine, accordlng to the ollowing descriptlon.
Fir~t of all, the mach~ne cons~6ts o a magazine drawing devic~ wh~ch take~ the magazine~, one by one, from a pile,. this is followed, in sequence, by another device ~hich opens ~he flr~t page of each magazine, whllc one or more feeders may in~roduce an lnsert~inside ~he opened magazlneO There are two rolls of paper, preferably placed in the lower part of the machine and provided with a lateral unwinding device; the paper i~ unrolled len~thwise, underneath ehe object t~ be wrapped, the magazineJ for example, which then passes under a small ~otorlzed prP~s.
The magazines are kep~ a~ a fixed distance the one from the other, ~hlle a hot-melt gluelng machine, controlled by phoeocells and an encoder, applle~ glue, cros~-wise, on the wrapping-paper.
Whlle the magazine or other object advsnces along ~he llne the longl~udlnal edges of the shee~ of paper are folded upwards towards the c~ntre of the object~ while another glueing mach~ne, also controlled by photocells and an encoder, applies the glue lengthwlse.
The magazine or other object then pa~seq under a pres~ing pad .and a gluelng pre~s, which applie~ the b jb ~ r ~

..
necessary pressure in order to enaure tha~ the previou~ly glued edges effectlvely sticlc together.
A cut~ing machine then cuts the paper between the sequence of magazine~, while an adequate pres~ separates the copies. ...
Follo~ing is a posqlbl2 varia~ion: the ro.ll of paper may have pre-glued area~, thu~ making the hot glue~ng machine unnecessary; ln th~ case the edges ~f the wrapping are stuck tog~tner simply by means of the application of a strong pressur ~
lt iq po~sible ~o obtain better finished copies by simply modifylng the foregoing machine.
According to ~he follo~ing verslon, the m~chine 1s exactly the same as the aforementioned o~e up to the paper unwindlng device, ~he paper s~ill being unrolled length~i~e under the objec~ to be wrapped. The change affects the qequence and the way in ~hlch the glue i~
applied alo~g the edge3 of the she~t of p&pero the~ are folded by t~o lateral blades, ~hile a gluPing machlne, controlled by photocell~ and an encoder, applie the glue length~i~e~ The magaz~ne or other object then pass~s under a pre~sing pad and a gluelng press, whlch applie3 the nece~s2ry pressure in order to en~ure ~h~t the previously glued edges effPctively ~ick together.

A cut~lng machine the~ cuts the paper at a pre established dlseance between the ~wo magazines, leaving an adequ~te margin along the two unglued edges. The magazlne, with two edge~ of ltY wrapping stlll open, ls ~hen tr~nsferred, by means of ~ conv~yor belt or the ... .
llke, to another un~t of ~he machine placed at right angles, with regard to the previous unit~ 90- ehat the magazines or other object~ undergo a 90 rotation; ehls enable~ the following two palrs of foldlng blade~ to fold the edges of the wrapping thaC are still open and apply the glue. The first pair of folding-blades is for magazlnes and longer objects, while the second palr is for shorter objec~s, such as book~.
Following i9 a more detsiled description of the foregoing machine, which malces referPnce to the attached illustration~:
Fig. 1 show~ a front view of the machine.
Fig. 2 show~ a view of the machine from ~he top.
Flg. 3. ~hows a detail of the cutting device~.
Fig. 4 ~hows ~ de~ail of ~he ~rapping device for larger-sized obj~cts.
Fig. 5 shows a fron~ vie~ of the modified version~
Fig. 6 shows.a plan of the machine~
Fig. 7 ~hows a plan of the folding and glueing devlce~.

Fig. 8 ~hows the varlous stage~ of folding and glueing carried out by the unlt shown in fig~ 7~
Wlth reference to the above illustrations, the machine con~ist~ of the follGwing elements: a magaz~ne drawlng device (l)j- which t~kes ~he magazines 9 one by one, from a pile, an opening device (2), which opens the flrst page of each magaæine and one or more feeder~ ~3) which may lntroduce an insert in~ide the opened magazine.
The paper, or other similar ma~erial employed, consists of rol~ (8), provided with a later~l unwindlng device~
wh~ch are preferably placed in the lower part of the machine; the paper, therefore~ i8 unrolled lengthwl3e underneath ~he object to be wrspped, such as the magazlne~, for example, whlch then pas~, at a flxed distance the vn~ from the other9 under a small mo~orized pre~s (4). ~ hot-mel~ glueing machine (5), conerolled by p~l~tocells and an encoder, then applles two stripes of glue cross wl~e, between one magazine and the other.
the magazine or other object advances along the line, the edge~ of th~ sheet of p~per are folded toward~ ehe centre while ~no~her gluelng mach~ne (7), also controlled by photocellq and an encoderj may spray the glue lengthwise.
The longitudinal edges of the wrapplng are then gradually clo3ed one over the other a~ the line advance~, the magazine or oth~r object th~n passes under a pre~sing pad (9) and under a glueing press which applies the necessary .
pressure, so as to en~ure that the previously glued edges effectively stick together. A cutting machine (11) then CUtB ~he paper cross-wlse, whil2 an adequate pre~s (12) separates ~he copies. This sequence is completed by a labelling machlne which applies address tags and the like.
... .
As previously explained, this machlne is particularly ~uitable for wr~pping magazlne~ and the lil~e; in order to adapt lt to larger objects, such as books, a special unit has been planned, shown in fig. 4~ which~ placed at the end of the foregolng proces31ng sequence, receives the already wrapp2d copi2s (19) carrying them forward beneath two glueing machlnes (22~, which spray a certain amount of glue on the peckage unoccupied, for exampl~, by ~he book.
Two folding blade~ (23) close the paper, ~hus producing a wrapplng which beside~ being well-finished is al~o strong and resi~tant, thu~ preYent~ng any movement of the book or the other objece contalned within.
Another ver lon of this machine has been planned for achieving a con~iderably higher wrapplng speed, at the ~ame time enhancing the quality of the wrapper. The ~nitial par~ of the machine i~ the same ~s the previously described one~ the difference~ belng in the folding and glueing devices.
This modified ver~ion~ as may be easily seen from the figures sho~n in tab. 2/2, consists of a magazine drawing device (31) ~hich ta~e~ th~ magazines, one by one, from !
a pile. An opening device (32) open~ the first page of each magazine thus enabling one or more feeders (33) to introduce an lnsert lnside the opened magaziner T~o roll~
of pape~ (38), provided with a lateral unwinding device, arP preferably placed ln the 10~2r part of the ~achine;
the paper, therefore, is unrolled lengthwise, underneath the object to be wrapped, such as the mag~inas~ for example, which pass under a ~mall motorized press (34) at a fixed dista~ce the one from the other. ~s the magazine or other object advances along ~he llne, the edges of tha sheet of paper are folded to~ardq the centre and the glueing machine t37), co~trolled by photocells and an encoder, 8pplie9 the glue lengthwise. The magazines or other Dbjects ~hen pass under a pre~sing pad and then under a glueing pre~s (39), whlch applles the necessary pressure in ord~r to en~ure that the previously glued edges effectivaly stick together~ A cu~ting devlce ~41) thell CUt8 the paper cro~s-wlse~ leaving an adequate ma~g~n to compl~te the glueing and fitlishlng ~f the other two edge~ The lateral folding snd glueing unlt of tha machine is placed a~ right sngles 9 with regard ~o the pr~vious unit, so that the magazines or other objects undargv a 90 rotatlon~ Tha copies sre then fad into the unit shown in fig. 7, whlch en~ures the perec~ foldl~g and gluaing of both the magazine~ and the books.

Claims (7)

1. A machine for paper-wrapping newspapers, magazines and the like, consisting of the following elements: a magazine drawing device (1), which takes the magazines one by one from a pile; an opening device (2), which opens the first page of each magazine and one or more feeders (3), which may introduce an insert inside the opened magazine; the paper, or other similar wrapping material, consists of rolls (8) provided with a lateral unwinding device.
2. A machine for paper-wrapping newspapers, magazines and the like, with the following feature: the objects to be wrapped pass at a fixed distance the one from the other under a small motorized press (4). A hot-melt glueing machine (5), controlled by photocells and an encoder, applies two stripes of glue corss-wise, at the desired distance between one magazine and the other. As the magazine or other object advances along the line another glueing machine (7), also controlled by photocells and en encoder, may spray the glue lengthwise.
3. A machine for paper-wrapping newspapers, magazines and the like, with the following feature: the object to be wrapped passes between two folding blades which gradually close the edges of the wrapping over each other, the magazine or other object then passes under a pressing pad (9) and under a glueing press (10). A cutting machine (11), assisted by an adequate press (12), separates the copies the one from the other.
4. A machine for paper-wrapping newspapers, magazines and the like, featuring a special unit for wrapping larger objects, such as books. Said unit receives the already wrapped copies (19) carrying them forward, cross-wise, beneath two glueing machines (22), which spray a certain amount of glue on the package unoccupied, for example, by the book. Two folding blades (23) close and glue the edges, thus completing the wrapper.
5. A machine for paper-wrapping newspapers, magazines and the like, featuring a modified version which, while maintaining the part of the abovementioned machine up to the paper unwinder, which operates in top same direction as the objects to be wrapped, unchanged, provides for the following: the magazine advances along the line and the longitudinal edges of the paper are folded towards the centre, while the glueing machine (37), controlled by photocells and an encoder, sprays the glues lengthwise.
The longitudinal edges of the wrapping are gradually closed over each other and the magazine or other object then passes under a pressing pad (39) and a glueing press (41) which applies the necessary pressure, in order to ensure that the previously glued edges effectively stick together. Following is a possible variation: the roll of paper may have pre-glued areas, thus making the hot glueing machine unnecessary; in this case the edges of the wrapping are stuck together simply by means of the application of a strong pressure.
6. A machine for paper-wrapping newspapers, magazines and the like with the following feature: still according to the abovementioned modified version, a cutting device (31) then cuts the paper cross-wise, while another device separates the copies the one from the other.
7. A machine for paper-wrapping newspapers, magazines and the like featuring a lateral folding and glueing unit placed at right angles, with regard to the previous part, so that the magazines or other object, in passing from one unit to the other, undergo a 90° rotation. The books or magazines, with an adequate margin along the edges, pass between a pair of folding blades (39), which perform the first folding, a glue-spraying device (40) sprays the glue onto the edges and as the item proceeds along the line a second pair of blades (41), closer than the previous pair, close the edges previously sprayed with glue, thus obtaining a perfect wrapping.
