Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for attaching banderoles, tax stamps, sealing strips etc. to packs, in particular cuboid cigarette packs, the glue-covered banderole being transferable to the pack in a transfer station by a transfer conveyor, in particular a tongs revolver.
  • Cigarette packs but also packs of other types are to be provided with banderoles, sealing strips, tax stamps, etc.
  • these bands can have different dimensions and can be arranged in very different areas, predominantly in such a way that at least a part of the banderole lies in the area of an end face of the pack, other parts extend by folding into the area of the side and front and back surfaces.
  • Proper application of the banderoles is a particular problem with the high-speed, high-performance packaging machines for cigarettes.
  • the cut banderoles are usually taken from a magazine and transferred to a pliers turret, which feeds the banderole, which is gripped by clamping, to the pack and transfers it to the pack. During this intermediate transport of the banderole, it is provided with glue on the outward side.
  • the glue application is in turn known to be effected by a circumferential glue segment, which takes a metered amount of glue from a glue container.
  • the (cigarette) packs holding the banderole are transported on a straight, horizontal packing track below the tongs revolver. This transfers the banderoles in the area of a transfer station to the facing top of the pack - usually the front or back surface. In the case of banderoles which also extend into a further packing area, a protruding part of the banderole applied by the tongs revolver is then folded over.
  • the known device is limited in its performance.
  • the decisive factor is the disadvantage that, due to the size and arrangement of the turret turret, only a few versions of banderoles can be applied.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device for applying banderoles to packs which, with high performance, can transmit all designs and arrangements of banderoles found in practice to the pack without errors.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the packs can be fed by a rotating pack conveyor with pockets for receiving a pack, in particular by a pack turret, the pliers turret or the transfer station, the packs in the pockets of the pack turret with the pack surface receiving the band, in particular the end face, pointing radially outward.
  • the basic idea of the invention is therefore to provide a separate conveying and holding device for the packs for the application of the banderole, which meets the special requirements for the transfer of the banderole, that is, the packs ready in such a way that a precise, efficient application of the banderoles is made possible.
  • the tongs turret for transporting the banderoles from a magazine to the pack turret can be designed in various ways and, above all, can be adapted to the relative position of the banderole.
  • the pliers turret is provided with an axially extending receptacle for the band, on which the band is preferably additionally or alternatively fixed by suction air.
  • a unit for the metered glue transfer to the banderole is also assigned to the pliers turret.
  • cigarette packs 10 in the form of a hinged box with different examples for the design and arrangement of banderoles 11, 12 and 13. These serve primarily as a tax stamp in cigarette packs 10, but can also be used as closure means etc. for Packs may be provided. The differences relate to the format and the place of attachment to the pack. Other alternatives, not shown, are conceivable and possible.
  • a strip sleeve 11 is provided, which extends over the entire length of an end face 14 of the cigarette pack 10. Tabs 15 and 16 of the band 11 adjoining it on both sides are folded over and extend in the region of (narrow) side faces 17 and 18 of the pack 10.
  • the band 12 is attached with its remaining part in the area of a rear surface 19 with a tab 20 which is in the plane of the side surface 18 is folded.
  • FIG. 3 The embodiment according to FIG. 3 is frequently encountered, namely with the banderole 13, which extends across the end face 14 and with tabs 21 and 22 in the region of the front face 23 and the rear face 19.
  • the band 11, 12, 13 is attached in the area of a hinged lid 24, namely glued.
  • the device described below is - with appropriate design of the device parts - suitable for processing, namely the application of banderoles 11, 12, 13 of all embodiments.
  • the banderoles (in the exemplary embodiment shown a banderole 13 for the arrangement in the sense of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3) are accommodated in a magazine 25.
  • the banderoles 13 are removed one after the other, here by means of a dispenser 26, which is moved back and forth by a gear 27 with a rotary movement along the underside of the magazine 25.
  • a banderole 13 is removed from the magazine and transferred to a banderole conveyor in the form of a tongs revolver 28.
  • the periodically rotating pliers turret 28 is along its circumference with a plurality, z. B. equipped two groups of pliers 29 which are pivotally mounted.
  • the band 13 is gripped by the pliers 29 at its front edge in the direction of transport in such a way that the adjoining part lies against the receptacle 31 in the circumferential direction.
  • the band With the side to be glued facing outwards, the band is moved past the glue-revolver 28 past a gluing device, namely a circumferential glue segment 32.

  • the glue segment 32 works together with a glue device, which consists of a glue container 34 and a glue roller 35.
  • a supply of glue is kept ready in the glue container 34, from which a quantity of glue distributed in film-like manner and delimited by scrapers is removed from the glue container 34 by the rotating glue roller 35.
  • the glue segment 32 temporarily comes into contact with the peripheral surface of the glue roller 35 during the circulation and thereby takes over the required amount of glue.
  • the glue container 34 is movable, namely pivoted, in order to meter the glue supply to the glue roller 35.
  • the banderoles 11, 12, 13 provided with glue are transferred to the packs 10 by the tongs revolver 28.
  • the packs 10 are brought up to the tongs revolver 28 by a special device in the area of a transfer station 36, so that the band 11, 12, 13 is free of interference and in an exact relative arrangement to the Pack 10 can be passed.
  • a pack turret 37 is used to keep the cigarette packs 10 ready in the area of the transfer station 36.
  • the aforementioned pack turret 37 is provided with a plurality of radial pockets 38 as a holder for a cigarette pack 10.
  • the pockets 38 can be radial slots in a pack turret 37, for example consisting of two turret disks 39, 40 arranged at a distance from one another.
  • the relative position of the cigarette packs 10 in the pack turret 37 or in the pockets 38 is such that the pack surface receiving the band 11, 12, 13 is always directed radially outward.
