Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of device of fixing, showing and distribute that is used for multiple package goods, more specifically, relate to this device, it can hold multiple such inner wrapping commodity, can also realize the purpose of transporting, showing and distributing as an overall structure, and the invention still further relates to the method for making similar device.

Background technology

For a long time, packed commodity have become commercial standards project.Though the commodity with paper bag packing are of all kinds, people pack fast food with paper bag traditionally.For example, fast foods such as potato chips, puffed rice, cornflakes, heronsbill seed, oil-fried pigskin all use the paper bag that provides to pack, and can be illustrated in the place of boom because it is believed that the paper bag of those packing, and distribution there.For example: the fast food of this character can be in the public house, the fast food restaurant, and convenience store, grocery store and supermarket etc. are local to be showed and distribution.

Because the paper bag that provides usually compares less, be that these divide pack to be designed to only can hold one to six ounce fast food, and because usually at any time, a lot of packaging bags are all showed in the shopping place, therefore, can be used for showing and when distributing the equipment of this paper bag packing, this technology has experienced continuous difficulty providing.When initial the displaying, just simply with presentation in the box or container of suitable size, but these exhibition methods may provide a kind of satisfactory displaying scheme never, because even they have still occupied sizable spacial flex when having only one or several packaging bag in box or the container.And so displaying also needs very big plane counter space.This technology has been adopted the method for vertical demonstration package bag, and the required counter space of displaying merchandise is minimized.Vertically a kind of method of displaying merchandise comprises the support that has a lot of Flexible clamps above the earliest.When using this device, each packaging bag all needs manually to be inserted into the purpose to realize hanging and showing in the spring clip.Show and the needed counter space minimum of granting commodity although this method makes, make people bear a large amount of work, because when package goods is sold, people must manually replace the commodity of those displayings.Because the general rate of profit of packing fast food is not very high, on each spring clip, replenishes the amount of labour that is comprised of supplying and caused massive losses economically.

And the present invention, as one of them preferred embodiment, used the marketing bar to sell fast food, for example box-packed chewing gum, candy, nut, dried beef, potato chips, puffed rice, cornflakes, sunflower seeds, oil-fried pigskin etc., typically use little paper bag individual packaging, the present invention is not limited to the packed commodity of this class.According to the present invention, these marketing bars also can be used to sell other commodity, not necessarily packed commodity, it is also envisioned that the commodity of selling any kind of, these commodity will may be attached on the flaky material or wherein, take away from the adhesive elements that is rolled on this marketing bar then.These other commodity can comprise for example little tin chewing tobacco.The present invention also considers the sale that this marketing bar is used for the so-called blister packages commodity.Therefore, the present invention never is subjected to any restriction, except attached claim and equivalent technical solutions thereof.

Early stage technology

Once there were a lot of people to attempt to provide improved marketing bar to realize this purpose, the patent No. 2,361,141 of description was for example all arranged in following United States Patent (USP); 2,606,665; 2,647,640; 4,312,449; 4,667,827 and 4,817,805.

The detailed description of accompanying drawing

Referring now to Fig. 1, represented a thin clear plastic strip 10 among the figure, its thickness is, for example, 1/64 " to 1/32 ", its preferred width is 1 ".As shown in Figure 2, the length of this plastic strip 10 be preferably 1 ' or 2 '.This plastic strip 10 has pair of holes 16 and 18, respectively near this two ends.Any one hole can hang on nail, screw or other hangers such as the serpentine hanger in 16 and 18, so that vertically show.Because this marketing bar has two holes 16 and 18, therefore be attached on the adhesive elements package goods all unimportant from that direction.16 and 18 apart from plastic strip 10 each terminal preferred distance be 1/2 '.Plastic strip 10 has also been represented a pair of adhesive elements 12 and 14, they separately the spacing of central point be 4 ", for such commodity, the chrips of inner wrapping for example just can be at an easy rate showed and is sold attached to top.These adhesive elements points are to be approximately 11/16 such as diameter " circle, but they can take various geometries as shown in Figure 9.The central point of adhesive elements 12 is made an appointment with apart from plastic strip 10 nearest ends

Although preferred embodiment considered the size and dimension of adhesive elements listed above, those skilled in the art will be appreciated that listed size and dimension only is exemplary here.

Referring now to Fig. 2, band 20, the expander graphs of plastic strip 10 promptly shown in Figure 1 has represented to have the upper strap portion 20a of 22,24 and 26 3 adhesive elements and pair of holes 30 and 32.Dotted line 21 separates the band 20a on top and the band 20b of bottom, a pair of adhesive elements that separates 28 and 36 shown in this band 20b has, but it also comprises one the 3rd adhesive elements.Equally, the band 20b of bottom has only a hole 34 as shown in the figure, but second hole also can be arranged, and therefore relative at the two ends up and down of band 20b have a pair of holes, just as at band 21a two ends pair of

holes

30 and 32 being arranged.

During use, dotted line 21 can complete reservation make it to become a particular commodity distribution bar that has six adhesive elements, and perhaps tearing becomes two marketing bars, and every has 3 adhesive elements.

Referring now to Fig. 3, the method according to this invention, system shown are used to prepare marketing bar 10 and 20 illustrated in figures 1 and 2.Roller bearing 40, wide six inches, have the first lining paper layer 45 and second layers of two-sided, 43 (see figure 5)s, the wherein one side of this double faced adhesive tape sticks together with lining paper slightly, can adopt the two-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive PN#Macbond IB-1182 as the Mactac production in Ohio Stow city.Grind the film that contains stickum and lining paper (being designated straight line 42) that by a pair of roller bearing 44 and 46 from roller bearing 40, these two roller bearings also have six embark on journey arrange round cutter, each cutting knife all is positioned on the straight line of vertical direction of lining paper longitudinal axis.The product that is provided by Georgia State, USA Atlanta PN#NA-Custom punch die technology company or Saint Louis, Missouri State city Cheng Erxun manufactory can be provided the rotation stamping knife.As Fig. 5, Fig. 6 and shown in Figure 7, the size that is installed in the rotary cutter on roller bearing 44 and 46 will be suitable for cutting just wears second layers of two-sided 43, wears or cut the first lining paper layer 45 and can not cut.As shown in Figure 4, these six cutting knifes are spaced apart to cut out

adhesive elements

50,52,54,56,58 and 60 with all, cut out

adhesive elements

62,64,66,68,70 and 72 subsequently again.Lining paper 42 whenever moves 4 inches will cut out 6 adhesive elements more.

As shown in Figure 5, round cutter 47 is just cut and is worn viscous layer 43, and the degree of depth of incision normally is predetermined when buying rotary cutter.

Distance between one group of adhesive elements (go up in the example for every four inches) is the function of the girth of roller bearing 46, also is the function around the number of cutting tools of roller bearing 46 girths.But an exception is arranged, if also have one to resemble 47 such 47 one-tenth 180 degree of cutting knife and cutting knife angles, the distance between the adhesive elements on the same group will not reduce by half.In this technology, roller bearing 44 is meant hammering block sometimes, is usually made by steel or other hard metal, perhaps even by duroplasts makes as highly dense polyurethane, cuts the effect in hole to improve the use stamping knife on all or part of material by roller bearing 44 and 46.Typically, the length of roller bearing 44 and roller bearing 46 are same or similar, but diameter can be littler than roller bearing 46, and be big, same or similar.

With reference to Fig. 6 (b), expression be the vertical view of roller bearing 46, consistent with the roller bearing 46 shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.This roller bearing 46 comprises a solid cylinder 100, this cylinder has a pair of outstanding cylindrical

shape end portion

102 and 104, the diameter of each bigger than roller body 100 a little all wherein, a pair of

mechanical axis

108 and 110 are arranged at the two ends of roller body 100, during use

mechanical axis

108 and 110 alternatelies are installed on the pair of frame, make roller body 100 respectively around separately

mechanical axis

108 and 110 rotations.The gear 106 that a column type is arranged in the place of next-door neighbour's mechanical axis 108, be used for driving and rotating roller bearing main body 100 by a traditional motor (not diagram), the rotation of it and gear 106 is synchronous, thisly cause by the translational speed of the roller bearing 46 and the film of anvil roller bearing 44 identically with the speed of wrap of film in the process shown in above-mentioned Fig. 3 synchronously, all these are all known in the prior art.

Roller body 100 has 6 rotation stamping knives 112,114,116,118,120 and 122 among Fig. 6 (b).An induction element 124 is arranged between

cutting knife

112 and 114, and it can also have explanation fully around 100 1 weeks of roller body in Fig. 6 (c).Another such induction element 126 is also similarly between cutting knife 120 and 122.

Induction element

124 and 126 is spaced, and ledge links to each other with the film that is cut by cutting knife 112-122, to help to keep moving and being cut by cutting knife 112-122 of this film.

With reference to Fig. 6 (c), expression be identical roller bearing 46, rotated 90 degree but compare direction with the roller bearing 46 shown in Fig. 6 (b).In Fig. 6 (c), illustrate other 6 cutting knifes 132,134,136,138,140 and 142.Cutting knife 132 to 142 is identical with cutting knife 112 to 122, just becomes 180 degree to distribute between them, therefore causes cutting knife 132-142 to cut out the shape of other 6 adhesive elements again on adhesive film 43.

As shown in Figure 7, the profile of cutting knife 47 has illustrated a thin-walled 49, and it can cut out the shape of a circle, produces the adhesive region of a circle, and this area size is identical with the core 51 of cutting knife 47.Therefore, will stay next viscosity " point " on lining paper 45, remaining glue-line net 48 is stripped from and is wrapped on the special roller 49.Although only illustrate a cutting knife 47 in Fig. 5 and Fig. 7, six such cutting knifes are used to cut out six viscosity points or

element

50,52,54,56,58 and 60 among Fig. 6 (b), and the viscosity point shown in Fig. 4 62,64,66,68,70 and 72.The adhesive elements as shown in Figure 5 50 and 62 of carrying on the lining paper 45 is spaced, and for example is separated by 4 inches.

With reference to Fig. 9, eight kinds of geometry (a) and (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) have illustrated different shapes and the profile that adhesive elements can be taked respectively with (h), they are final only by the shape decision of rotating stamping knife, as the cutting knife among Fig. 5-7 47.For example, Fig. 9 (a) is circular, and Fig. 9 (b) is a triangle, and Fig. 9 (c) is a square, and Fig. 9 (d) is a hexagon, and Fig. 9 (e) is a rectangle, and Fig. 9 (f) is a pentagon, and Fig. 9 (g) is a star, and Fig. 9 (h) is oval.Although only showed 8 kinds of geometries here, adhesive elements can be taked any desired profile, this just depend on the concrete rotation stamping knife that uses.

Refer again to Fig. 3,, just be stripped from around the remaining glue-line net 48 of adhesive elements in the past and be wound onto then on the special roller 49 when combination 42 during through the roller bearing 44 that respectively carries 6 parallel cutting knifes and roller bearing 46.Since removed around glue-line grid 48, lining paper 45 just only transmits

adhesive elements

50,52,54,56,58 and 60, transmits

adhesive elements

62,64,66,68,70 and 72 then, so analogizes.
