DE1632254B - Trays for cigarettes or other stick-shaped objects - Google Patents

Description

Flexible holding members have already become known (German patent 532 758), which for

The invention relates to a tray for cigarette uniform distribution of the cigarettes in the unity or other rod-shaped objects are used with a filling device, but these have known ones Device that prevents the objects from falling when they are falling during a reversal of the kens of the cigarettes containing them by their own weight the upper tray follows. ren cigarette layers to follow and those in these

Trays of this type are used to load cigarettes in a layer.

To keep processing, especially packing machine in a directed position.

Filling device attached. When a container is empty 55 in the case of the German patent specification 944 178 is, it is removed from the filling device. Tray that has become known is an elastic band and replaced by another filled container, provided, which, however, only has the purpose of from which then the cigarettes or other rod-shaped cigarettes contained in the tray during objects get into the filling device. to keep turning back in the cradle. Once the During the time it takes to replace an empty 60 inverted tray on the filling device on the container against a full one is required, the then underlying band will continue for example The Zi is drawn from the packaging machine, whereupon the cigarettes are freely placed in the filling garettes packaged, whereby the level in the device can fall. A follow-up device, filling device sinks. This results in what beaus on top of the inverted tray The cigarettes supplied to the newly placed tray are placed on this tray garetten a height of fall that is not provided for when the machine rises.

speed can be significant, so that in a preferred embodiment of the invention

the cigarette leaning against the uppermost cigarettes is characterized by the fact that the printing or printing

support element is in connection with the bottom of the tray via hinges.

It can also be provided that the support element consists of one connected to the tray base elastic device is made in one direction by its own weight and in the other Direction due to its own weight and the weight of the filled tank, which depends on the filling level of the container Objects is effective.

It is also recommended that the support element is a solid plate that supports it Covering the bottom of the tray.

Finally, an advantageous development of the tray according to the invention is characterized by this from that the support element rests freely on the bottom of the tray in the filling position compliant element, which is preferably on the side walls of the tray at a distance from the tray bottom is appropriate.

In the following part of the invention, some exemplary embodiments of the subject matter of the invention are presented Hand described by drawings. It shows

F i g. 1 a tray equipped with a support element in the form of a rigid plate in the filling position,

FIG. 2 shows the tray shown in FIG. 1 in the emptying position and

F i g. 3 a tray equipped with a flexible support element in the emptying position.

In Fig. 1 is a hinges 2 attached to the bottom of the tray 3 by means of collapsible hinges Plate 1 shown.

In Fig. 2 is the plate 1 in the tray 3 on the now overhead cigarettes, the hinges 2 are unfolded.

In Fig. 3 there is a flexible wire mesh 4 on the side walls of the tray at points 5 and 6 attached.

In the first embodiment, the hinges 2 by the effect of its own weight Plate 1 slowly folded up as the filling progresses. When the tray on the feeder is placed on the machine, the cigarettes sink above the filling device, not shown arranged webs in the filling device. Plate 1 follows the sinking filling, in that the hinges 2 open as a result of their own weight, so that the plate is constantly in contact with the cigarette layer on top. It prevents individual cigarettes from moving across can ask.

ao In the second exemplary embodiment, the flexible Wire mesh 4 the cigarettes during the filling process. This is in the inverted position of the container Wire mesh on the cigarettes lightly. Due to its length, the wire mesh can hold cigarettes follow during their downward movement until it has reached its end position. Through this it is also prevented that when the contents of the tray sink, those in the upper layer Cigarettes are unsupported and can move freely. The risk of individual cigarettes can adjust across the other, is switched off by the support element.

1 2 Reversing the trench practically freely and unimpeded- Patent claims: dert can fall down. This creates the possibility that the cigarettes will fall from a large height 1. Trays for cigarettes or other rod conveyors before reversing the tray to the top Objects with a device that puts the 5 low cigarette layer in the filling device when they sink during a roll across the cigarettes below ■ Reversal of the trench containing it follows, so that in this case the cigarettes are characterized in that the avoidance of a blocking of the packaging machine Schragen a pressure or support element (1) would have to be rearranged. has that with the bottom of the tray (3) io The invention is based on the object of a is so connected; that when reversing the genus mentioned at the beginning it is possible to of the trench due to its own weight, which ensures that the a cigarette located near the bottom of the tray, which Move th position to another position after turning around and putting on the tray can, whose height corresponds to the height of fall, by 15 on the partially emptied filling device which the objects sink, so that the packaging machine clears a considerable distance Pressure element (1) fall down during the entire descent, cannot stand across, but process on the rod-shaped objects remain in their aligned position. Through this located. "should malfunction of the packaging machine 2.
