Definitions

  • This invention relates to the handling of sheet materials, and more particularly concerns the handling of individual sheet articles such as labels, tickets, coupons or the like by appropriate machinery in order to transport and transfer the sheet materials from one surface or location to another.
  • the drum may be handling labels at the rate of 200 per minute, such labels do not leave the drum and consequently there is fouling and severe blockage of the apparatus.
  • the present invention was made in an effort to overcome this difficulty, and whilst its immediate use will be in relation to the apparatus in which we are interested i.e. the handling of labels by rotary vacuum drums, it will be appreciated that it is not necessary that the invention should be so limited to such specific application.
  • the method comprises detaching a sheet element from a support surface having a plurality of apertures therein through which pressure air can be supplied in order to detach at least one edge of the sheet, the method residing in that pressure air is supplied to porting in a region which is inwardly spaced of the edge of the sheet material to be detached, followed by injection of higher pressure air through porting which the edge to be detached overlies.
  • the said surface supporting the sheet will be movable, and preferably will be a rotary drum to which individual sheets are applied in turn and are removed in turn, and in one example the said drum comprises a vacuum drum provided with a plurality of rows of vacuum ports to which vacuum can be applied in order to hold the sheets thereto whilst the sheets travel between an application location and the detachment location, but which at the detachment location can become the ports which are pressurised in accordance with the method of the present invention.
  • each label in relation to the direction of rotation of the drum will have a leading edge and a trailing edge.
  • the leading edge will be the edge which is detached in accordance with the invention, and the first row of ports which is under the leading edge of the label will at the appropriate time have the injection of air under pressure, but the second row will be provided with air under pressure first, and at a different (lower or higher) pressure.
  • Suitable coupling porting must be provided on the mountings for the drum to ensure that this happens, because in the operation of this particular apparatus, normally the ports will be connected to a source of vacuum in order that the labels will be held to the drum as they travel between the application location and the detachment location, but when the first and second rows of ports reach the application location, air under pressure is to be supplied thereto as described above. Equally, the third and subsequent rows of ports covered by the label are coupled to the source of pressure as the said rows pass the application location.
  • the invention also provides apparatus constructed to operate in accordance with the method.
  • the method has shown itself to be extremely useful in high speed label application situations, especially when a rotary drum is used for the transport of the labels between attachment and detachment locations spaced relative to the drum periphery.
  • the method may be used in conjunction with suitable knife means to assist the detachment of the labels from the surface, and such knife means may comprise a mechanical knife member, or for example an air knife arrangement.
  • the invention can be applied for the handling of other sheet elements apart from labels, and also that the labels to be handled can be of any size and configuration.
  • the labels may be the so-called patch labels or wrap round labels the latter being of a type to be wrapped completely round the articles to which they are to be applied.
  • the method of the invention can be utilised for the handling of sheet materials which are delicate and flimsy as the vacuum and positive pressures can be controlled as desired. Also, as air will be the most likely gas to be used for the creation of the vacuum and air pressure, it is to be appreciated that any gaseous medium can be used.
  • Fig. 1 there is shown a vacuum drum 10 which co-operates with a die cutting drum 12, these drums being rotatable as indicated by the arrows, and defining there-between a cutting lip through which a web 14 having labels 16 defined thereon passes.
  • the web 16 is as disclosed in our European Patent Application No. 823065057 and has pressure sensitive adhesive on side 18, and a release coat on side 20 so that the release coat in fact covers the label printing 16 and enables the web 14 to be wound into roll form without the use of a backing web. Additionally, although it forms no part of the present invention, the web 14 has sprocket drive apertures 22 along the edges thereof.
  • the individual labels 16 are cut from the web 14 so as to leave a skeletal waste 14A which is taken away from the nip for disposal, the labels 16 being held to the drum 10 by the application of a vacuum to ports 26 in the cylindrical surface thereof to which the labels 16 are held.
  • the adhesive surfaces are outermost enabling the labels to be applied directly to articles which move into close proximity with the surface of the drum 10 at an application location (region A in Fig. 1) so that the labels 16 can be transferred from the drum to the articles.
  • the entire process is a continuous process in that the web 14 is fed continuously and the drums 10 and 12 are adhered continuously, thereby achieving high speeds although a step by step arrangement can also be utilised.
  • the running of such machinery at high speeds as can be appreciated beings problems of efficiently separating the labels 16 from the vacuum drum 10 and the present invention provides a method for achieving the reliable separation of the labels from the vacuum drum.
  • This is achieved in the following manner. It will be noticed that the ports 26 are arranged in rows 26A, 26B and so on, extending axially of the periphery of the drum 10 and arranged in parallel relationship, and the vacuum is applied to these ports through vacuum lines 30 in a vacuum valve block 32 which remains stationary as drum 10 rotates.
  • the vacuum is applied to the ports 26 between the location of the nip and the separation location A so that the labels 16 will be held to the drum 10 as shown, but when the leading edge 16A of each label 16 reaches the location A, the leading ports such as 26A and 26B are supplied, instead of with vacuum, with air under pressure in order to blow the leading edge 16A away from the surface of the drum 10, and as the further rows of ports 26C pass the release station A, so such rows of ports progressively are supplied with air under pressure in order that there will be a continuous blowing of the label 16A away from the drum surface throughout the arcuate extent to which the label 16 overlaps the drum 10.
  • the sequence of blowing is controlled so as to give positive displacement of the leading edge 16A of the label away from the drum surface, and this can best be explained by referring to Figs. 2, 3 and 4.
  • Fig. 2 it is seen that the ports 26A are supplied from an inlet 34 lying relatively close to the periphery of drum 10, and ports 26C to 26N are supplied by inlets 36 which are on the same patch circle as port 34.
  • ports 26B i.e. the second row of ports are supplied from an inlet 38 which is located on a smaller pitch circle than the ports 34 and this is to provide that air under pressure will be supplied to the ports 26B in fact fractionally before it is supplied to the ports 26A when the leading edge 16A of the label 16 is to be removed from the drum.
  • the method of achieving this can also be understood from Fig.
  • the pressure air supplied through inlet port 42 in the valve block will be supplied to the inlet 38 and ports 26B before air under pressure is supplied through port 40 to inlet 34 and eventually to ports 26A. Furthermore, the pressure of air supplied to the ports 26B is from a regulated source and will be lower than that supplied to the ports 26A.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 show what happens as the gallery 44 registers with inlet 30A and when port 40 registers with inlet 34.
  • Fig. 3 which shows in cross sectional plan leading edge 16A of the label lying on the drum 10 at the detachment location A, and the gallery 44 has registered with port 38 and has supplied air under pressure through ports 26B.
  • the leading edge 16B of the label 16 has lifted from the surface of the drum 10 but only to a very small extent, for example of the order of 1 mm, and would remain in this condition were it not for the subsequent application of higher pressure air blast through the inlet 34, and this is achieved when the port 40 registers with inlet 34 to provide the condition shown in Fig. 4.
  • the high pressure air blast indicated by arrow 48 in Fig. 4 in issuing through ports 26A causes the leading edge portion 16B in fact to hinge sharply away from the surface of the drum 10 as shown in Fig.
  • the system as described works excellently under test conditions, and will provide a means whereby the labels can be detached positively and effectively and at high speed so that they can be applied reliably to the articles which move in synchronism therewith.
