- Pharmaceutical packaging systems are provided, upstream of the product insertion station, with any of a number of devices designed to feeed the leaflets according to the required specifications.
- the tape 2 is fed by tensioning rollers 3 to a cutting instrument (housed in the casing 4 and not illustrated inasmuch as it is known) which cuts the tape at the line separating two consecutive printed sections.
- a cutting instrument housed in the casing 4 and not illustrated inasmuch as it is known
- Suitable rollers (referred to generically inasmuch as they are known) operate in conjunction with folding pockets 5, also of known kind, to fold each leaflet a predetermined number of times.
- the folded leaflet is picked up by a pair of counter-rotating rollers 6a and 6b, associated to the line that tranfers the leaflet to the station where the said leaflet is inserted into the corresponding container.
- Another problem is that if the leaflets are too long (the length of the leaflets being the width of the tape) for the folding pockets of the device to handle or have to be folded in an unusual way (e.g., lengthwise), it is necessary to replace the entire device with another device suited to the unusual dimensions, the cost of which is not always compensated by the number of articles made in a particular lot.
- FIG. 2 Another known device is illustrated in figure 2.
- this device there is a magazine 7 designed to contain a pile 8 of flat, unfolded leaflets.
- Suitable feed means pick up the leaflet at the bottom of the pile 8.
- the said leaflet is transferred to folding pockets 5 which fold it several times and then to the counter-rotating rollers 6a and 6b (station A) as in the device illustrated in Fig. 1.
- the object of this invention is to provide an attachment to be coupled to known devices for folding instruction leaflets and to replace the said known devices in feeding folded leaflets to the pickup means of the devices, the said attachment being driven by the same means that drives the devices, and being also universal, that is, designed to supply leaflets of any size and folded in any way.

- the said magazine is designed to house a pile 19 of leaflets 20 that are already folded (in any way) in at least one sense.
- Each leaflet has printed on it, in an appropriate language, the characteristics and/or instructions for use of a corresponding pharmaceutical product: suitable cards may be used instead of leaflets.
- the bottom of the pile 19 is supported by known means 19a which allow only the leaflet 20 at the bottom ot the pile to be picked up.

- the leaflet is transferred to a first station S1, within the casing, where the suction pads are turned off.
- the suction pads 22a are turned off when the leaflet they are carrying reaches vertical plate 41, the function of which is multifold; in fact, the vertical plate facilitates the detachment of the leaflet from the suction pads and flattens out any creases that may have formed on the leaflet: in other terms, the leaflet comes to be in practically vertical position as it had been in the magazine 17.
- the leaflet 20 drops off the suction pads 22a and is «caught» between the matching branches 25a of two pairs of belts 25 that are looped around rollers 26a and 26b, driving roller and driven roller, respectively.
- the mouth of the said branches is curved upwards: this is achieved by offsetting the driving rollers 26a as illustrated in Figure 6.

Description
- In the packaging of pharmaceutical products, such as blisters, medicine bottles, tubes, etc, it is known that the product is inserted into the container (carton) together with a leaflet on which the characteristics of the product and the instructions for its correct use are printed in a suitable language.
- The leaflet is folded several times so as to become smaller, sufficiently stiff and easier to insert into the container. Pharmaceutical packaging systems are provided, upstream of the product insertion station, with any of a number of devices designed to feeed the leaflets according to the required specifications.
- The known devices are principally of the kind illustrated in figures 1, 2, 3, attached hereto.
- In figure 1,1 indicates a reel of
tape 2 with sections printed without interruptions on one side (or both sides) of it, each printed section corresponding to a leaflet. - The
tape 2 is fed bytensioning rollers 3 to a cutting instrument (housed in thecasing 4 and not illustrated inasmuch as it is known) which cuts the tape at the line separating two consecutive printed sections. - Suitable rollers (referred to generically inasmuch as they are known) operate in conjunction with
folding pockets 5, also of known kind, to fold each leaflet a predetermined number of times. - At a feed station A, the folded leaflet is picked up by a pair of
counter-rotating rollers - In the packaging of pharmaceuticals, the necessity often arises of making small lots of articles (meaning by «article» container + product + leaflet) with a different leaflet, either because the instructions must be in another language or because the leaflet is required in an anusual size.
- Changing the leaflet means removing the reel1, taking the
tape 2 off thetensioning rollers 3 and rewinding it back onto the reel, fitting a new reel with the required instructions and/or of the required size and, finally, unreeling the end of the tape from the new reel and feeding it to the tape pickup means (not illustrated) by way of therollers 3. - Since the lot of articles does not usually use up the entire reel of leaflets, when the lot is finished, the reel must be removed and stored away again for future use.
- This procedure gives rise to multifold problems.
- Indeed, used occasionally (and stored in a warehouse the rest of the time), a reel may after a time lose some of its characteristic qualities (variations in relative humidity for example), with all the undesirable consequences that this entails, such as the non optimal folding of leaflets for example.
- The difficulties are even worse when the instructions on the reel that is stored away are superseded by revised instructions.
- Another problem is that if the leaflets are too long (the length of the leaflets being the width of the tape) for the folding pockets of the device to handle or have to be folded in an unusual way (e.g., lengthwise), it is necessary to replace the entire device with another device suited to the unusual dimensions, the cost of which is not always compensated by the number of articles made in a particular lot.
- This is a weakness of the known device just described in that the device is unable to satisfy certain market requirements, however occasional.
- Another known device is illustrated in figure 2. In this device, there is a
magazine 7 designed to contain apile 8 of flat, unfolded leaflets. - Suitable feed means, not illustrated, pick up the leaflet at the bottom of the
pile 8. The said leaflet is transferred to foldingpockets 5 which fold it several times and then to thecounter-rotating rollers - As in the previous case, here again, when small lots have to be made with leaflets with special instructions and/or of unusual size, the
pile 8 must be replaced with another pile or, in extreme cases, the whole device must be replaced with one suited to the particular purpose. - In some cases, whether the solution adopted is that illustrated in figure 1 or that in figure 2, the entire device is replaced with a magazine (or feeder) that supplies folded leaflets to the aforementioned feed station A: the high cost of such a solution when the market requires unusual leaflets or cards instead of leaflets.
- The object of this invention is to provide an attachment to be coupled to known devices for folding instruction leaflets and to replace the said known devices in feeding folded leaflets to the pickup means of the devices, the said attachment being driven by the same means that drives the devices, and being also universal, that is, designed to supply leaflets of any size and folded in any way.
- The abovementioned object is achieved with an attachament to be coupled to an instruction leaflet folding device as defined in claim 1.
- The characteristics of the invention that do not emerge from what has been stated above, are emphasized hereinafter with reference to the accompanying illustrations, in which:
- - Figures 1 and 2 show diagrammatically perspective views of two known instruction leaflet folding devices, while Figure 3 illustrates one of the said devices without the folding pockets;
- - Figure 4 illustrates the attachment that is the object of this invention in perspective and with some-of its parts removed;
- - Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the at- tachmentcoupled to a known folding device.
- - Figure 6 shows diagrammatically a side view of the attachment coupled as in Figure 5, while Figure 6a shows diagrammatically the gearing of the attachment.
- With reference to Figures 1, 2 and 3, and to complete the introductory description given above, it is emphasized that both the devices illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 have a
seat 10, accessible from the outside, delimited laterally by twowalls 11 with correspondingparallel guides 12, designed to receive the longitudinal edges of thefolding pockets 5. - The inner front section of the
seat 10 houses the saidcounter-rotating rollers Rollers 6 are driven by known gearing 13 and it is emphasized thatgear wheel 14 is accessible from the outside. Theattachment 50 that is the object of this invention is described hereinafter with reference to figures 4, 5 and 6. - The said attachment is made up of a
casing 15 with asection 16 protruding from each side of the casing, the said protruding sections being designed to fit intoguides 12 when the casing is inserted into theseat 10. - A
magazine 17 is attached tocasing 15 at an angle, the cross section of the said magazine being adjustable by varyring one or other, or both, of its dimensions using knownmeans 18. The said magazine is designed to house apile 19 ofleaflets 20 that are already folded (in any way) in at least one sense. Each leaflet has printed on it, in an appropriate language, the characteristics and/or instructions for use of a corresponding pharmaceutical product: suitable cards may be used instead of leaflets. - The bottom of the
pile 19 is supported by knownmeans 19a which allow only theleaflet 20 at the bottom ot the pile to be picked up. - The
casing 15 rotatably supports ashaft 21, placed crosswise form one side of the casing to the other, to which are splined second pickup means, consisting for example, of twoparallel arms 22 withsuction pads 22a on the ends, the suction being provided by known means through adistributor 40 of known kind (intergral with the casing 15 (fig. 6) and an associatedhose 23, mentioned in a little more detail later. -
Shaft 21 is made to swing by knownmeans 24, the said swinging motion being such as to movesuction pads 22a to a limit point at which they come contact with the leaflet at the bottom of the pile. Pad suction is timed so as to be turned on when the pads come into contact with the leaflet.Arms 22 then swing back through M (Figure 6) carrying the leaflet out the magazine on the suction pads. - As a result of the said swinging motion, the leaflet is transferred to a first station S1, within the casing, where the suction pads are turned off.
- To be more precise, the
suction pads 22a are turned off when the leaflet they are carrying reachesvertical plate 41, the function of which is multifold; in fact, the vertical plate facilitates the detachment of the leaflet from the suction pads and flattens out any creases that may have formed on the leaflet: in other terms, the leaflet comes to be in practically vertical position as it had been in themagazine 17. - The
leaflet 20 drops off thesuction pads 22a and is «caught» between thematching branches 25a of two pairs ofbelts 25 that are looped aroundrollers leaflet 20 between thebranches 25a when the dropping leaflet reaches them, the mouth of the said branches is curved upwards: this is achieved by offsetting thedriving rollers 26a as illustrated in Figure 6. The movement ofbranches 25a in H direction causes theleaflet 20 to be transferred from the first station S1 to a second station S2. - The rotation of
driving rollers 26a and the operation ofmeans 24 is achieved by gearing 27 (see Figure 6a) linked to acontrol pinion 28, having the same pitch as thegear wheel 14 and located on the outer side of one of the casing sides. - The
attachment 50 is dimensioned in such a way that, when thecasing 15 is inserted intoseat 10, theprotruding sections 16 fit intoguides 12, thepinion 28 meshes withgear wheel 14 and, finally, the second station S2 is positioned at feed station A. - It should be stressed that the
hose 23 may be connected to avalve 29, built into theattachment 50 and in turn connectable to a vacuum source associated to the device illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 or may be connected to a valve associated to the latter device. - The description hereafter turns to the applications and working of the attachment that is the object of this invention.
- As stated in the introduction hereto, the devices illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 are designed to feed standard, folded instruction leaflets to feed station A. This is the normal operation of the said devices and the said systems (not illustrated inasmuch as they are known) make up pharmaceutical articles using the aforementioned standard leaflets.
- When an order is made for a limited number of articles with non standard leaflets (differing in the language of the instructions and/or size and/or number of folds), the user can resort to this
attachment 50 and proceed as described hereinafter. - In the case of the device illustrated in Figure 1, the user uncouples the
folding pockets 5 fromguides 12 and stops the feeding oftape 2. In the case of the device illustrated in Figure 2, the user takes themagazine 7 off thecasing 4 and then uncouples thefolding pockets 5 fromguides 12. - In both cases, this gives access to
seat 10 whichattachment 50 can be coupled to as described above. - After inserting the attachment, the
hose 23 can be connected in one of the two ways already described. - The aforementioned systems can now be activated, which in turn activates the
gearing 13 and the associatedgear wheel 14 and, consequently, theattachment 50. The timing of the swinging ofarm 22 in relation to the article packaging systems located downstream ofrollers 6 does not create difficulties for a technician experienced in this field. - The
leaflets 20 picked up intermittently from the bottom of themagazine 17 are fed torollers attachment 50 can be removed from the associated device and the «standard» working parts refitted. The attachment that is the object of this invention is universal, that is, it can be used to feed station A with folded leaflets of any thickness, width or length, by adjusting the dimensions ofmagazine 17 to the size of the leaflet required. - The attachment makes the device it is coupled to more versatile.
- Indeed, with the
attachment 50 used in conjunction with the aforementioned device, it is sufficient to keep as many stockes ofleaflets 20 or cards as are necessary to meet particular market requirements, provided the said leaflets or cards are not too large or too small to be handled byrollers - This has the notable advantage of enabling users to reduce their stock of each type of leaflet to a minimum, and another undoubted advantage lies in the fact that the attachment can be adjusted quickly and easily to any market requirement. If the
leaflets 20 or cards that have to be inserted in the container are not in stock, it is sufficient to order them, provided only that their size can be handled by thepickup rollers - It is again stressed that this attachment does not call for any alterations to be made to the device it is coupled to: in other terms, it is activated and driven by means the device is already provided with.
- Yet another advantage of the
attachment 50 lies in the fact that it can satisfy the requirements of several different folding devices. - The
casing 15 can be attached to thecasing 4 of the associated device by means other than described above, for example, means that attach thecasing 15 to the bottom of seat 1, or that attach thecasing 15 towalls 11, or a combination of both the means just referred to, or any other means known to any person experienced in this field. - It is understood that the description given herein is purely an unlimited example and thus that eventual variations in the constructional details described, (for example, if the
gear wheel 14 is located on the side opposite that illustrated in figure 3, the matching pinion will be on the other side of the casing 15), all fall within the framework of protection afforeded to the invention as claimed hereinafter.
