Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for marking a banana hand according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the banana hands intended for labeling are usually placed by hand on a conveyor belt, whereupon the banana hands are automatically weighed and weighed there individually, the weighing process being the printing of the labeling label for the straight one the banana hand on the scale triggers, which in turn, also automatically, triggers the inseparable application of this label to the label carrier part of a supplied banana hanger.
  • the hanging of the labeled banana hanger on the banana hand that has just been weighed must then be carried out by hand by a further operator, who then feeds the banana hand, which has been distinguished in this way, to the further, again largely automated or at least automatable, handling.
  • This hand-operated workstation for connecting labeled banana hangers to a banana hand that has just been weighed has previously prevented fully automatic labeling of banana hands, whereby in addition, hanging a banana hanger by hand into the relatively narrow spaces between the grown-up banana necks of the individual fruits is time-consuming and requires a lot of skill to prevent injuries to the sensitive fruit skin.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method which allows the labeling of banana hands to be carried out fully automatically and in particular to avoid the hanging of labeled banana hangers on the associated banana hands by hand, which not only excludes the otherwise associated difficulties and dangers, but also the operator previously required for this.
  • this object is achieved by the method characterized in claim 1.
  • the banana hangers could already be prefabricated with a cord loop, which the operator then slips over a fruit until the loop rests on the insensitive banana necks.
  • a particularly advantageous continuous and rational process sequence can consist in that the banana hand is suspended in the flexible means and the ends of the latter are then connected to the banana hanger with the formation of a loop.
  • the course of the method can then advantageously be such that the flexible means is automatically cut to length from a supply roll and stretched between pliers means; that the ends of this agent are then thickened; that the hand of the banana is then hooked into the flexible medium that is held taut; that the flexible means is then automatically given the shape of a loop by bringing the pliers together and its ends are caught in open-edge catch slots in the label carrier part of the banana hanger that is brought up; that the banana hanger is then transported to the scales with the banana hand hanging in the loop of the flexible means and the banana hand is weighed there becomes, and then further to the labeling device, and that finally the excellent banana hand with the banana hanger is released for further processing.
  • the flexible means used is made of a deformable, in particular thermoplastic, material
  • its ends can be automatically thickened by deforming, in the case of thermoplastic material in particular by flaring and subsequent melting.
  • the banana hand suspended in the flexible means is automatically tied with a band is wrapped.
  • the invention also relates to a banana hanger with a flat label carrier part for receiving a label, further with a hanging hook, which is adjacent in its plane on one side to one side for hanging the hanger on a carrying device, and with the side opposite the hanging hook of the Means arranged on the label carrier part for hanging a banana hand on its coalesced end, which allows the method according to the invention to be carried out by that the hanging means comprise open-ended capture slots provided on opposite sides of the label carrier for receiving a flexible means which can be caught in its ends.
  • the banana hanger 20 shown in FIG. 1 and particularly suitable for carrying out the method for marking banana hands has a label carrier part 1 which is preferably made of plastic and forms a relatively large-area disc and which is provided on one flat side with reinforcing ribs 2.
  • the flat side of the disc opposite the reinforcing ribs 2 is completely flat and is used to hold a label (not shown) corresponding approximately to its size, for example a label which is printed out by an automatic balance and glued fully automatically to the label carrier 1.
  • a corresponding locking tongue 8 is provided in order to prevent the hangers fitted with banana hands from falling off a support rod 7 in the event of vibrations. So far there are Banana hangers known.
  • the means for hanging a banana hand 30 are now provided at its end 31 which has grown together, that is to say at the end at which the wooded banana necks are connected to one another.
  • These hanging means comprise a loop-forming thin flexible means here in the form of a cord 10 which can be attached with its ends to the label carrier part 1 after it has been passed between the bananas of the banana hand, as can be seen in FIG. 1.
  • the latter has on opposite sides a generally designated 11 catch slot open towards the edge of the label carrier part 1, which narrows towards its root, with one barb 16, possibly several, preventing each a cord loop 10, once inserted from the mouth of the catch slot into the catch slot to its root, can unintentionally slide out again.
  • the two are Provide ends of the cord loop 10 with a thickening 14, the cross section of which exceeds that of the opening in the root of the catch slot. This thickening can be made by tying a knot at each end of the cord loop.
  • thermoplastic material as the material for the cord loop 10
  • the thickenings 14 at the ends of the cord loop 10 at a work station of the fully automated system for marking out banana hands are produced by burning off, if appropriate after previous unraveling can be.
  • the cord 10 or also band means or the like is expediently first automatically pulled off a supply point in a manner not shown in detail, stretched between pliers means, cut to length and then the ends are thickened, for example by unraveling and subsequent melting.
  • a banana hand is then hooked into this tensioned cord by hand and optionally then automatically wrapped again with an adhesive tape 13 (FIG. 2).
  • a pair of pliers 40 of the transport system of the system then grips the banana hanger 20 with the banana hand 30 attached via the cord loop and then brings the whole thing to a transport support 41, where the label carrier part 1 of the banana hanger 20 is positioned supported on a support surface 42 in order to be supported by a Arrow 43 indicated labeling stage to be labeled, as is illustrated schematically in Fig. 2.
  • the transport support 41 with the banana hand 30 still runs through a scale, where the banana hand hanging on the hanger 20 is weighed, the printing out of the label being triggered in a manner known per se.
