Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for dispensing heat-shrinkable skirts on the fly on moving containers.
- skirts made of heat-shrinkable synthetic material. These skirts are cut from a flattened sheath to form a section which must then be opened to present the tubular shape allowing its introduction onto the container. Subsequently, the container, with its skirt, passes close to heating means which, by their heat release, cause the skirt to shrink on the container.
- the method according to the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by making it possible to continuously deposit, on moving containers, decorative skirts cut from a flattened sheath and formed before being placed on the container.
- This process is of the type described in FR-A-2 387 900 in the name of the Applicant and consists in deforming a flattened tubular sheath to crush its folds and forming a flattened tubular sheath in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the initial sheath, in cutting a section of this sheath and to be distributed on a container, the skirt obtained then having a square section whose sides alone ensure its retention on the container.
- the device for implementing this process is of the type described in FR-A-2 387 900, that is to say comprising a support for a flattened sheath coil, means arranged in the sheath and giving this last a flattened tubular shape whose major axis is perpendicular to that of its initial flattened shape, means for holding the aforementioned means, means for maintaining the sheath in the shape which is given to it and means for cutting a section of this sheath.
- sectioning and section forming means means which are arranged so as to achieve the desired reliability and operating rate.
- the sectioning means of this device are composed of two parallel rotary cylinders, at least one of which is provided with knives parallel to its axis of rotation, these cylinders being followed, in the direction of displacement of the sheath sections, on the one hand, means for driving each section at a speed greater than that of travel of the sheath and, on the other hand, guide means forcing each section of sheath to open gradually to form a tubular body the lower part of which, coming out of the aforementioned means, has a square shape in cross section and is oriented relative to the trajectory of the containers, while its upper part has a lozenge shape.
- the sheath section is driven by the drive means at a speed higher than that of the sheath running, so that its posterior end is distant from the anterior end of the sheath continuing to advance.
- the section is subjected to transverse stresses which tend to open it gradually, so as to give it the optimal shape, that is to say the shape allowing its introduction under the best conditions on the moving container which it will meet as soon as it leaves these guide means.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 designates a sheath of heat-shrinkable synthetic material unwinding from a reel 3 carried by a support 1.4 designates means disposed in the sheath 2 and giving the latter a flattened tubular shape whose major axis is perpendicular to that of its initial flattened shape.
- These means are, for example, constituted by a polyhedron of the type described in FR-A-2 387 900 in the name of the Applicant, a polyhedron whose upper edge 4a is held between two guide rollers 5, and whose lower edge 4b is held between two other guide rollers 6 whose axes of rotation are offset by 90 ° relative to those of the rollers 5.
- Complementary guide rollers 7, whose axes of rotation are parallel to the rollers 5, are arranged on either side of the lateral faces of the polyhedron in order to avoid any displacement of the latter during the travel of the sheath.
- the two lateral folds 8 of the sheath 2 which came from the crushing of the edges of the latter during its winding on the coil 3, come into the central part of the sheath, as shown in 8 to Figure 4, while the central parts of the sheath unwinding from the coil 3 constitute the side edges 9 of the new flattened shape.
- the flattened sheath passes between drive rollers 10 whose axes of rotation are parallel to those of the rollers 6.
- These rollers which are arranged so as to come into contact with the central zones of the sheath, are separated from each other by a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the sheath, so as to crush the folds 8 which pass between them.
- this device also comprises means 12 for cutting the sheath, means for driving the section 14 thus cut and means 15 for guiding and controlling the transverse deformation of each section.
- the sectioning means 12 consist of two rotary cylinders 16a-16b, arranged on either side of the path of the sheath 2 and whose axes of rotation, parallel to each other, are parallel to those of the rollers 10 and 6.
- the cylinder 16a is provided with knives 17 which are parallel to its axis of rotation.
- the drive means of the sections consist of two rollers 18 arranged on either side of the path of the sheath sections 14. These rollers, the axes of rotation of which are parallel to those of the cylinders 16a-16b, are brought together. one from the other so as to crush between them at least the central part of the sheath sections 14.
- the distance e between the plane P1 containing their axes of rotation and the plane P2 containing the axes of rotation of the cylinders 16a and 16b, has a value substantially equal to or less than the length 1 of a section, so that, as soon as it is cut into the sheath 2, the section is driven by these rollers.
- These rollers are connected by a movement transmission, not shown, to the motor means 19 ensuring the rotation drive of the cylinders 16a and 16b.
- the transmission ratio is determined so that the circumferential speed of these rollers is greater than the linear speed communicated to the sheath 2 by the drive rollers 10 and, for example, is equal to twice this speed.
- the guide means 15 are associated with means 51 for spacing and positive drive of the sections 14.
- These positive drive means are constituted by two toothed belts 52 parallel, driven by toothed pulleys 53 arranged with on either side of one of the rollers 18 and also passing over toothed return pulleys 54 wedged on a shaft 55 parallel to that 56 carrying the roller 18 and the pulleys 53.
- Each belt 52 has, projecting from its face exterior, several tabs 57 which coincide with the tabs 57 of the other belt.
- the interval between two cleats is at least equal to the length of the sheath sections. In this embodiment, this interval is greater than the length of a section, so as to space the successive sections.
- the shaft 55 is carried by links 58 articulated on the shaft 56 and angularly adjustable as a function of the dimensions of the sections, so that the belt can drive these sections without disturbing their shaping.
- the guide means 15 are constituted, as shown in FIG. 3, by two opposite slides 59 each having, facing each other, a groove 60 of variable triangular section.
- the faces 61a-61b of each groove move away from one another from top to bottom, in the direction of travel, while their bottom 62 moves closer to the bottom on the other groove.
- These slides are arranged laterally on either side of the trajectory of the lugs 57 of the belts and so as to cooperate only with the edges 9 of the sections.
- the longitudinal axis of the device, as well as the path of movement of the sheath 2, then of the sections 14, are inclined on the horizontal downstream by relation to the direction of movement of the containers.
- this pallet 42 has two lateral wings 43 having a U-shaped section and which, thanks to its inclination, but also to the square section of the skirt and to the orientation which is given to it. when it is placed on the container, allow the penetration depth of this skirt to be perfectly adjusted on the container neck and even, as shown in FIG. 6, to lower this skirt below the ring of the container 40.
- Figure 1 shows that the sensor 28, triggering the operation of the stepping motor ensuring the drive of the cylinders 16a and 16b and the drive rollers 18, cooperates with metal studs 64 disposed on the hub 65 of a star 66 mounted to rotate freely on a vertical shaft 67.
- the studs 64 are the same number as the cells of the star with which they coincide and are intended to trigger the operation of the motor when each container 40 passes.
- the cylinders 16a and 16b are then driven by a stepping motor. not different from that 19 ensuring the drive of the rollers 18, this stepping motor then being triggered only when there has passed, between the two cylinders, a length of sheath equal to the difference between the total length of a section and the length of the circular arc separating two knives 17.
- the device according to the invention which has been described above in the case of its application to the distribution of decorative skirts, can also be used for the distribution of guarantee skirts or decorative sheath completely enveloping the container. It can also be used to distribute sheath sections on containers stopping under it, in which case its longitudinal axis, corresponding to the path of movement of the sheath and of the sheath sections, is vertical. Finally, in the case where the section has a height less than its diameter, which makes direct deposit on a container very difficult, the device is associated with rotary transfer means comprising bosses with the transverse dimension of the containers and suitable, each to receive a section of sheath delivered by the device. At a next station, each section is pressed onto its boss which thus ensures its front positioning, that at the transfer station of the complementary means make this section slide over the underlying container, whether moving or not.
- this device continuously supplying sheath sections can, because of its structure, be used to deliver, at high speed, continuously or discontinuously, sheath sections to containers of any shape, movement or stopped.
- the device uses sheath comprising two central folds, that is to say having the characteristics of that coming out of the rollers 6.
- sheath comprising two central folds, that is to say having the characteristics of that coming out of the rollers 6.
- it does not include the rollers 5, 6 and 7, as well as the polyhedron 4, but only a coil support 3 and guide means lead the preformed sheath to the rollers 10 and to the downstream mechanism which is unchanged.
- this arrangement makes it possible to shape the sheath at high speed by a specialized, but simple device, and facilitates the loading of the device according to the invention.
