Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for sealing a film or the like on a container by means of a lowerable heating device arranged between two columns spanned by a crossmember.
  • Such a device is known for example from US-A 4092 817.
  • a container is placed under a heating device, a film is placed on it and sealed by means of the heating device.
  • the inventor set himself the goal of automating the application of the film to the container and thus designing the workflow more quickly.
  • the container can be guided in a receiving part under the heating device and a clamping device for receiving the film or the like is coupled to the receiving part.
  • the clamping device should preferably consist of two guides, each of which is fixed on the inside of the columns. These guides can be simple pieces of rail, for example rectangular cut. They are attached to the columns by screws or other fasteners. Runners are slidably arranged on these guides. Both runners and guides are each penetrated by a lever which, together with part of the surface of the runner and a beak attachment formed thereon, forms a clamping gap for accepting the film. Near the beak attachment, the lever has an axis of rotation about which the beak attachment can be moved toward or away from the rotor surface.
  • This lever is coupled with one foot to the receiving part.
  • the connection between the lever foot and the receiving part can be made in any known articulated manner.
  • the foot preferably rests in a groove formed on the receiving part.
  • the receiving part can thus be separated from the clamping device without loosening additional coupling elements.
  • the axis of rotation, about which the lever is rotatably mounted, is preferably arranged near the beak extension in order to increase the lever action which acts on the beak extension when the receiving part is pushed over the lever base.
  • the guide is interrupted by a recess in which the lever can slide along the guide together with the runner.
  • the longitudinal axis of the guides should preferably be inclined at an angle to the direction of thrust of the receiving part. In this way, the clamping gap can be guided to the film and, after recording, can be placed over the receiving part or the container.
  • the runners should grip their respective guides in a clamping manner.
  • the pressure on the receiving part must be increased.
  • this also increases the lever force that can be transferred to the beak extension of the lever. The film is held better this way.
  • a slot formed from two strips should be arranged near the clamping device in its end position. Individual cut pieces of film can be inserted into this slot. However, since the individual pieces of film are preferably to be separated from a roll, which is also conveniently mounted on the crossmember, the slot should form a knee, through which the film is deflected in the direction of thrust of the receiving part.
  • the outer strip of the strips forming the slit is to be interrupted by elongated holes which allow access to the film.
  • a separating device In order to separate the piece of film which is sealed onto the container from the rest of the roll, a separating device is provided according to the invention near the slot outlet.
  • this consists of a bracket with a front beam and two support arms.
  • a separating tool underpins the front beam.
  • the front bar In the rest position of the entire sealing device, according to the invention the front bar is to be covered with the separating tool from parts of the heating device, in particular the cover plates thereof.
  • the front beam protrudes laterally out of the cover plate and is connected to the support arms there.
  • These support arms are to be articulated near the end beam on the outside of the heater casing via an axis of rotation. With their end remote from the end beam, on the other hand, they are intended to comprise bolts fixed to the pillars, these bolts being movable in a recess.
  • a heating wire stretched beneath the end beam between two electrodes is proposed as the separating tool.
  • the separating tool for example a heating wire
  • the separating tool can be directly under the lower edge of the cladding.
  • a front beam is clamped between the two side cladding panels and carries the cutting tool.
  • a cutting tool fastened in this way also effectively separates the piece of film to be sealed from the roll.
  • the casing of the heating device preferably surrounds a heating element.
  • This can preferably consist of two plates which are easily separable from one another.
  • the inventor has developed a pressure lock, at least one pin protruding from the actual lower sealing plate, which penetrates the other plate with a spherical head and is held there like a push button by two clamping clips.
  • the sealing plate which usually has projections on its underside, which are determined by the desired sealing seam, can be easily replaced and adapted to the predetermined container shape.
  • other common fastening elements for two detachable plates are also considered.
  • the invention also encompasses a method for sealing a film or the like onto a container by means of a lowerable heating device arranged between two columns spanned by a crossbeam, under which the container is guided in a receiving part, the film or the like being guided the receiving part is taken under the heating device by a clamping device and placed over the container.
  • the particular advantageous embodiment of this method lies in the automation of the sealing process, the workflow being considerably accelerated.
  • the device is extremely simple and therefore very inexpensive to manufacture. It is particularly suitable for use, for example, in butchers or retail stores, which cannot incur high investment costs for the known expensive sealing machines. Due to the automation of the application of the material to be sealed, the device is also attractive for consumers who have to close containers very quickly and frequently.
  • a device S in particular for sealing container B - shown in dashed lines in FIGS. 1 and 2 - has a supporting housing 1, on the longitudinal side 2 of which a gate-like framework 4 spanning the housing top 3 consisting of two pillars 5 and 6 and a cross member 7 by means of screws 8 or the like.
  • a rail 10 is arranged on the upper side 3 of the housing, which is in engagement with a groove 11 which is formed in the bottom 12 of a drawer 15.
  • the container B is stored in this drawer 15, its outwardly bent edge edges 16 resting on the top 17 of the drawer 15.
  • the drawer 15 can be moved along the longitudinal axis of the housing 1. If it is moved in the direction x (FIG. 2), it arrives between the columns 5 and 6 of the scaffold 4 and strikes a pressure switch 20 which is fixed on an adjusting block 21.
  • a holder 49 for a heating device 25 consisting of a heating element 26 and a covering 27 that extends downward and overlaps it.
  • Both the coil springs 23 and the square 24 drill through Traverse 7.
  • the coil springs 23 are guided in sleeves 28 and fastened to the bottom of the sleeve (not shown).
  • a drive device 30 Between the two sleeves 28 there is a drive device 30, the inner parts of which are surrounded by a protective sleeve 31, which consists of a lower part 31 a seated on the cross member 7 and an upper part 31 overlapping this. At the bottom 32 of the upper part 31 b there is a cap nut 33.
  • a feed line 35 is provided which leads to a toggle switch 36.
  • 37 denotes a line of the drive device 30 and 38 denotes a line to the heating device 35 provided with a heat-resistant jacket.
  • the function of the drive unit 30 and the sequence of the sealing of containers can be found in the patent application DE-A-3210566.5, but the present invention can also be used with sealing devices or the like with another drive unit.
  • a roller 61 made of coiled cover material is supported on the crossmember 7 between two scaffolding bars 60.
  • This material can be unrolled in a web or film 62, it being guided over a deflection roller 63, which can also be designed, for example, as a dancer roller.
  • the film 62 opens into a slot 65 formed from two funnel-shaped strips 64 and is deflected there approximately parallel to the direction of thrust X in a knee 66.
  • the outer strip 64 a (FIG. 1) has elongated holes 67 in the knee area, through which the access to the web 62 is made possible and in particular the initial insertion is facilitated.
  • the web 62 can be gripped by a clamping device K.
  • this consists of guides 70, fixed to the columns 5 and 6, for receiving runners 71, which together with a lever 72 with a spigot 73, which can be pivoted about an axis A. Form clamping gap 74.
  • the lever 72 engages with a foot 75 in a groove 76 which is arranged transversely to the rail 10 on the drawer 15.
  • the guides 70 which are sluggishly encompassed by the runners 71, have longitudinal axes C, which run inclined to the longitudinal axis of the housing 1, so that the respective clamping gap is guided towards the film 62 or the slot 65 and, after receiving the film 62, over it pulls the drawer 15 or the container B.
  • the guide 70 has a recess 77.
  • the difficult movement of the runner 71 on the guide 70 has the effect that, in particular when pushing the drawer 15, more force via the groove 76 onto the lever 72 and there is considerably more pressure there because of the favorable force transmission due to the close mounting of the axis A on the beak shoulder 73 exerted on the beak shoulder 73 and the hold of the film 62 in the clamping gap 74 is improved.
  • the invention also provides a separating device T according to FIG. 5.
  • This consists of a bracket 80 stretched between the two columns 5 and 6, which is designed such that it disappears behind the cladding 27 in the open position of the device R with its front bar 81, which has the actual - not shown - separating tool, but the lateral support arms 82 of the latter Grip out of the panel 27 and are articulated on the pillars 5 and 6 and lateral parts of the panel 27 a .
  • connection between cladding 27 a and support arm 82 consists of an axis of rotation D, while a bolt 83 on the column 5 or 6 engages in an elongated recess 84 at the foot of the support arm 82.
  • the end beam 81 is also lowered when the heating element 26 moves, but in relation to it by a smaller amount, but which is designed so that the end beam 81 hits the web 62 with its separating tool when it is already on the radiator 26 is pressed onto the opening edge 16 of the container B.
