Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective cover for holding framed slides or the like, and to a deashing device provided for this purpose.
  • the invention is based on the object, on the one hand, of proposing a protective sleeve suitable for holding framed slides or the like and, moreover, of a device by means of which framed slides or the like can be pocketed in such a protective sleeve in the simplest possible manner.
  • the first sub-task underlying the invention is achieved in that two band-shaped flexible flat structures are arranged substantially congruently one above the other and are connected to one another in the region of the one long side and have attack devices for feed transport devices, and in that the flat structures are pockets accessible from the other long side through pocket openings have, into which the slides or the like can be inserted, and the pockets are formed by the connection on one longitudinal side and by transverse connections running transversely to the longitudinal direction on the mutually facing flat sides of the flat structures, and in that the cross connections are suitable for enclosing transport elements exhibit.
  • connection areas of the flat structures are designed as welded areas.
  • the attack devices for the feed transport devices are designed as perforations in connection areas on the closed long side.
  • closure devices are provided for the pocket openings of the pockets, by means of which the pockets can be closed after the slides have been filled in so that the slides cannot accidentally fall out.
  • the band-shaped flexible fabrics are preferably made of transparent plastic film.
  • the invention offers the possibility of packaging framed slides or the like in a simple manner by filling them into the pockets in such a way that soiling, scratching or the like does not occur.
  • the protective cover can be supplied, for example, with a large number of pockets in a rolled-up form, and there is then not only the possibility of cutting off a piece from this stock with a number of pockets corresponding to the respective order, but it is also possible without further ado to further subdivide the protective cover assigned to an order by cutting off sections, for example in such a way that a section has three or four pockets, corresponding to a length such that these sections can easily be packed together with the paper images and sent, for example, by post.
  • a cut can be made so that the cut is made approximately in the middle of the cross connections, in such a way that the pockets adjacent to both sides of the cut are not opened by the cut.
  • transverse connections forming the pockets do not necessarily have to be designed as welded areas, but other types of connection are also possible. It is also not necessary for the connection to be linear.
  • a device for pocketing framed slides or the like in a protective cover with pockets between two substantially congruent flexible surface structures and with pocket openings provided on one long side, in particular in a protective cover of the type described above, is characterized in that the protective cover is a Filling station can be fed from a storage station by means of a feed transport device via a buffer station, preferably having a loop of the protective cover, and the filling station is a filling device which works intermittently in the transverse direction to the transport direction of the protective cover, with a slide for inserting the slide and with an expanding device for expanding the respective pocket and with one has a feed transport device which operates in a clocked manner offset to the work cycle of the filling device, and the filling transport device has transport pins for latching into openings n which has the transverse pockets of the flexible flat structures dividing the individual pockets of the protective cover, and the transport pins of the protective cover are arranged to be movable in a direction in the region of the protective cover and in a position outside the protective cover in the feed
  • the filling station has a cutting device for cutting off sections of the protective cover.
  • the filling station is followed by a closing device for closing a filled bag.
  • This closing device can be designed, for example, as a welding device which welds the pocket openings point by point.
  • the buffer station arranged between the storage station and the filling station serves to relieve the transport system in the area of the filling station from the pull of the protective cover storage roll provided in the storage station, for example, so that the function of the filling transport device, which preferably has a gripper device, also functions at a high working speed and at the same time It is possible to deduct the protective cover from a protective cover supply roll.
  • the transport pins which snap into the transverse connections between the individual pockets mean that the protective cover with an empty pocket is pushed into the area of the filling device and at the same time the protective cover area in front of it in the transport direction is covered with a slide filled bag is pushed or pushed out of the filling area. It is therefore possible to cut off the protective cover behind the filling station without empty strokes being necessary or without loss of protective cover material.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show a protective cover for holding framed slides or the like, which has two flexible flat structures 1 and 2, which are band-shaped and are arranged essentially congruently one above the other.
  • the flexible sheet-like structures preferably consist of transparent plastic film and are connected to one another in the area of one long side via a connection area 3 designed as a welded area.
  • the two flat structures are connected to one another at their mutually facing flat sides at intervals by means of transverse connections 4, which in the exemplary embodiment shown are likewise designed as welded areas.
  • pockets 5 are formed, which are used to hold framed slides 6.
  • the long side opposite the closed long side 3 has pocket openings 7 through which the framed slides 6 can be inserted, if necessary after the pocket opening has been widened.
  • connection area 3 on the closed long side has perforations 8, in which appropriately designed attack devices of a feed transport device (not shown here) can engage.
  • the web-like cross-connection areas 4 are provided with openings 9, into which transport elements, for example transport pins, of a filling device can snap.
  • the connecting areas 4 are of such a width that cutting off a protective cover section in the longitudinal direction of the cross-connections and approximately in the middle thereof is possible without the lateral pocket delimitation of the pockets 5 adjoining the right and left in each case being impaired.
  • a closure device for the pocket openings 7 is designated by 10 in FIG. 1.
  • the closure device can be realized, for example, in that the flat structures 1 and 2 are spot welded in the area of the pocket opening 7.
  • the device shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 has a storage station designated by 12 for a protective cover 11, a buffer station 13 and a filling station 14 with cutting devices 15.
  • a supply roll 16 of a protective cover 11 is arranged on a rolling device 17, 18, not shown in detail.
  • the protective cover 11 has two flexible flat structures arranged essentially congruently one above the other with pockets for holding slides.
  • the pockets are formed in that the protective cover unites on one long side Connection area 3 and at intervals spaced connection areas 4 has.
  • the pockets 5 formed in this way can be supplied with slides 6 through pocket openings 7.
  • the connection area on one long side has perforations 8 for attack devices 19 of a drum-like feed transport device 20 in the area of the buffer station 13.
  • a loop 21 of the protective cover 11 is formed.
  • a dancer roll 22 is attached between the device 20, which is designed, for example, as a toothed drum, and the single station 14, which is arranged, for example, via a microswitch or a photocell arrangement in the direction of arrow B, so that it can be controlled or pivoted.
  • the buffer station Further roles of the buffer station are designated 23, 24 and 25, the protective cover 11 is fed to the filling station 14 from the supply station 12 via the buffer station 13 such that the transport system of the filling device 14 is relieved of the weight of the supply roll 16 and the train of the subsequent protective cover is.
  • the cross connections 4 of the protective cover 11 have openings 9, which are provided for engaging transport pins 26 of a filler transport device 27 shown schematically in FIG. 3.
  • the transport pins 26 can be moved with the filling transport device 27 in the feed direction C of the protective cover in the position shown in solid lines in FIG. 3, that is to say in a position in the region of the protective cover, in which the transport pins 26 thus engage in the openings 9 and in the transport direction C Pull the area of the protective cover lying behind the transport pins 26 and press the area in front of it.
  • the area of the protective cover lying in the transport direction in front of the pins 26 which are latched into the openings 9 has, as can be seen from FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, already framed slides 6.
  • the filler transport device 27 is lowered in such a way that the transport pins 26 disengage from the protective cover 11, and then the transport device 27 is moved in this position intermittently against the feed transport direction C until the one designated in FIG. 3 with 27 ⁇ and Position of the feed transport device shown in dashed lines is reached. From this position, the feed transport device 27 ⁇ is then raised again, so that the transport pins engage in the openings 9 in the subsequent cross connection 4, and then again a movement in a raised position in the direction of arrow C, so that the next feed cycle can begin.
  • the cutting device 15 can optionally be activated (via an arrangement not shown).
  • the filling station 15 also has a filling device designated 28.
  • the slides to be pocketed are fed to the filling device 28 via a device (not shown) and are pushed into the pockets 5 there by means of a slide 29, which can be cyclically moved back and forth in the direction of the arrow D transversely to the transport direction C.
  • the slider 29 is assigned a widening device, shown schematically in FIG. 5 and designated by 30, by means of which the filling opening 7 of the pockets 5 between the flexible flat structures 1, 2 can be widened in such a way that a slide frame 6 to be inserted can be easily inserted.
  • the operating cycle of the filling device 28 is coordinated with the operating cycle of the filling transport device such that the filling by means of the slide 29 in each case during the return transport movement of the feed transport device 27 against the feed direction C.
  • the protective cover is both pulled and pushed by the feed transport device 29 in the area of the filling station in such a way that the protective cover area lying in front of the mounting area of the transport pins and already having a slide-in slide is pushed, so that neither empty strokes nor a separate transport device for the Area of the protective cover in front of and behind the filling station would be required.
  • the filling station 15 can be followed or assigned a closing device (not shown), by means of which the filling openings 7 can be closed after slides 6 have been pocketed.
  • connection area 3 between the flexible flat structures does not have to be formed continuously on the long side, but it can also be divided into individual connection areas.
