Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the closing of articles, such as small bags and similar objects, by means of a closing member or clips, wich is composed of a strip of, for example, paper or plastic or mouldable material, wich is strengthened by one or more metal threads and to a device for the closing of articles, by means of clips.
  • Bags closed in this way have the disadvantage, that upon opening the adhesive strip, the bag is usually damaged and cannot be used again. The wares have to be repacked if a part is not consumed at once.
  • Wares can also be packed in bags of a mouldable material and then closed by means of a closing member or clip composed of a strip of paper or plastic, strengthened by one or more metal threads.
  • Bags closed in this way are easy to open.
  • this way of closing is not used very often because it takes more time than the closing of bags with adhesive tape. Namely, the adhesive strips can be brought on by machine, while the clips have be bent around the bag by hand.
  • the aim of the invention is a device or a small machine, to make it possible to close a bag with a clip in one easy movement.
  • This aim can be achieved by first forming the clips, according to a certain method, into a U, by then connecting the U strips or clips, adjacent to each other in such a way that they form a row of a desired length where by the legs of the U clips are placed parallel to each other in such a manner as to form a gully.
  • the linkage of the clips is achieved by attaching them to a'band or thread or such like, for example by cold adhesion of the clips to an adhesive tape, or by sealing them onto a tape made of a plastic, such as polyae- theleen, polyetheen, or by heating and smelting, then by rolling the row of clips into a roll and by conveying it to or by placing it in a device, it will be possible to develop an appliance or device that will be small, easy to handle and cheap to fabricate.
  • Such a device for the closing of plastic bags by means of a roll of clips, can , according to the invention, include a frame, that is turnable on a horizontal axis, wich is fastened to an undercarriage and that this frame can turn or swing between two extreem positions, on the afore mentioned horizontal axis and that in or on or onto this frame a roll of clips can be placed and that then the row of clips can by pulling means, be led via a conductor through a bending station.
  • a device or machine is manageable and dependable.
  • the bending station consists of two hamershaped members, which, turnable on an axis, are.near the ends of the handles fixed upon a frame and of which the handles can be led past members, for example, small wheels, which are fastened to the undercarriage and that the handles of the hamershaped members are formed in such a way that both the hamershaped members can perform an in advance specified desired movement.
  • Figure 1 shows a side view of a small machine or device according to the invention.
  • the device includes a frame 1 that is turnable on an axis 3 which is fastened to an undercarriage 2.
  • the frame 1 is held at the preferred uppermost position.
  • the frame 1 comprises a pair of plates 5 and 5 1 , placed parallel to each other, between which is a roll 6 on which is rolled up a row of connected clips 7.
  • the row of clips, that are held next to each other by means of tape 8 is led via a small guiding block 9 and a small block 10. provided with a gully, to the folding station 11.
  • the tape 8, without the clips 7, is led between a small shield plate 12 and the small block 10 to a drum, to which the end of the tape is fastened.
  • the roll 6 with clips 7, can turn on an axis 14 which revolves by means of two grooves 15 and 15 1 , one in each plate 5 and 5 1 and which is placed between the plates. On one of the plates 5 there is an opening 16 to facilitate the insertion of the tape 8 and roll 6 with clips 7.
  • Figure 3 shows the rearside of the device according to the invention.
  • a toothed wheel with sawedged teeth or ratchet wheel 17 is fastened to the drum 13, which both can turn on the axis 18.
  • a ratchet lever 19 with spring 20 prevents the drum 13 from moving backward.
  • the device is provided with means for winding the tape around the drum 13.
  • These means include a member 21 that exists of a U shaped bent plate 22, which is moveable on an axis 23 which is fastened to the frame 1.
  • a small stave 24 is attached, turnable at one; of its ends on an axis 25.
  • the other end of the stave 24 is revolvable attached to a small plate 26 which in turn is revolvable attached to the axis 18 around which the drum 13 with ratchet wheel 17, can also turn.
  • To the plate 26 is fastened a pawl 27, rotating on an axis 28 and by means of a spring 29 is fastened to the plate 26.
  • the axis 25 near the bottom of the U shaped plate 22 is connected to the frame 1 by means of a spring 30.
  • the device for rolling up the tape 8 around the drum 13 works as follows: by pushing down, like a crank or handle, the U shaped plate 22, the pawl 27 lets free the ratchet wheel 17. If the crank or U shaped plate 22 is let loose, then the spring 30 will determine that the tension of the tape 8 will remain constant, causing the tape to remain taut.
  • the first clip 31 leans against the shield plate 12.
  • a sheet 32 is welded to the U shaped plate 22.
  • This sheet 32 has a U shaped cross section and on the bottom a small block 33 is fastened, which fits exactly in the gully formed by the clips 7. Because of this it is possible to press down the frame 1 until it touches the undercarriage 2, thereby turning on the axis 3 and until the small block 33 pushes against the bottom of the clip 31 and the frame 1 against the undercarriage 2.
  • folding hamers 34-35 are each, comprised of a handle 36,37, with a head 38,39 on top of it; the other end of the handle 36,37 is fstened to a cylindrical member 40,41, which each revolves on its axis which is fastened to the frame 1.
  • small staves 42 small wheels 43 are fastened, between which the folding hamers 34,35 can be moved from the top downward by means of the frame 1.
  • the handles 36 and 37 have a special shape and the small wheel 43 1 has been hinged to the small stave 42 1 .
  • the wheel 43 1 is held at the lowest preferred position by means of a spring 47.
  • the wheel 43 1 is fastened to one end of a small stave 48 that in its turn is, near its other end, hinged to an axis 49, which is fastened to the stave 42 1 .
  • the small block 49 serves to keep the stave 48 in a low position which is a bit below horizontal.
