Abstract
Description
L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif pour emballer des produits dans une feuille en matière souple, avec une étiquette appliquée extérieurement sur l'une de ses faces.The invention relates to a device for packaging products in a sheet of flexible material, with a label applied externally on one of its faces.
Elle s'applique en particulier aux mouchoirs en ouate de cellulose, pliés en accordéon, et conditionnés dans un étui parallélépipèdique en matière plastique ou en papier.It applies in particular to handkerchiefs made of cellulose wadding, folded in an accordion, and packaged in a parallelepipedic case made of plastic or paper.
Afin de préserver la propreté des mouchoirs après l'ouverture du paquet, il est déjà connu de pourvoir l'ouverture de distribution d'un rabat convenablement découpé sur l'enveloppe.In order to preserve the cleanliness of the handkerchiefs after opening the package, it is already known to provide the dispensing opening with a flap suitably cut on the envelope.
Ce volet est délimité par une ligne de perforations que l'on déchire au moment où l'on veut extraire le premier mouchoir. La forme de cette ligne, par exemple en arc de cercle avec une zone d'amorçage de la découpe, permet ainsi le dégagement partiel de l'une des faces de l'étui par pliage autour de l'axe formé par la ligne passant par les extrémités de la découpe.This shutter is delimited by a line of perforations which one tears at the time when one wants to extract the first handkerchief. The shape of this line, for example in an arc of a circle with a cutting initiation zone, thus allows the partial release of one of the faces of the case by folding around the axis formed by the line passing through the ends of the cut.
Une languette adhésive, solidaire du volet par une extrêmité, sert d'attache amovible et le maintient en position rabattue quand on n'a pas besoin de mouchoirs. L'extrémité de la languette opposée au rabat peut comporter une partie de surface non adhésive pour faciliter la préhension et permettre la réouverture du paquet.An adhesive tab, integral with the flap at one end, serves as a removable fastener and keeps it in the folded position when there is no need for tissues. The end of the tab opposite the flap may have a non-adhesive surface portion to facilitate gripping and allow the package to be reopened.
L'invention a pour objet un procédé permettant de réaliser industriellement ce type de conditionnement avec languette ou, plus généralement, avec une étiquette rapportée extérieurement sur une face.The subject of the invention is a process allowing this type of packaging to be produced industrially with a tongue or, more generally, with a label attached externally to one face.
Les installations connues de la Demanderesse comportent un dispositif de pose par transfert d'étiquettes, placé en aval du poste où sont enveloppés les paquets de mouchoirs dans leur étui.The installations known to the Applicant include a device for applying labels by transfer, placed downstream from the station where the packs of tissues are wrapped in their case.
Ainsi, la mise en place des étiquettes intervient en dernière phase de fabrication. Cette organisation des différentes étapes de confection des étuis, à priori la plus simple, conduit à l'adjonction en bout de machine d'un dispositif de pose des étiquettes encombrant et assez complexe.Thus, the establishment of the labels occurs in the last phase of manufacture. This organization of the different stages of making cases, a priori the simplest, leads to the addition at the end of the machine of a device for applying bulky and fairly complex labels.
En effet, il faut positionner avec précision, par des moyens mécaniques, chaque étui par rapport à l'organe de transfert des étiquettes. Le cas échéant, si on désire poser l'étiquette sur une face qui n'est pas la face supérieure telle qu'elle sort du poste de confection des étuis, il est nécessaire d'adjoindre un mécanisme de retournement et de positionnement supplémentaire. En outre, le support des étiquettes étant mou ― un paquet de mouchoirs en papier ― un adhésif à tack élevé est indispensable pour réduire au maximum la pression exercée au moment du transfert, et limiter les risques d'endommagement du produit et de pose défectueuse. Le coût de fabrication s'en trouve augmenté.Indeed, it is necessary to position with precision, by mechanical means, each case relative to the label transfer member. If necessary, if it is desired to place the label on a face which is not the upper face as it leaves the case-making station, it is necessary to add an overturning and additional positioning mechanism. In addition, the support for the labels being soft - a pack of tissues - a high tack adhesive is essential to minimize the pressure exerted at the time of transfer, and limit the risk of product damage and defective installation. The manufacturing cost is increased.
On peut s'affranchir de ces problèmes en modifiant l'ordre dans lequel sont accomplies certaines des tâches, notamment en rapportant l'étiquette sur la feuille avant que l'on enveloppe le paquet de mouchoirs avec celle-ci. De préférence on va apposer les étiquettes à intervalles réguliers sur la bande destinée à l'enveloppage puis séparer les feuilles et former les étuis.These problems can be overcome by changing the order in which some of the tasks are accomplished, including putting the label on the sheet before wrapping the tissue packet with it. Preferably, the labels will be affixed at regular intervals on the strip intended for wrapping, then separate the sheets and form the cases.
Grâce à cette disposition:
- ― L'étiquette n'est plus apposée sur un produit mou, il suffit de prévoir un support rigide de la feuille, en regard de l'organe de pose. Il s'ensuit une plus grande fiabilité et une meilleure précision.
On peut utiliser un adhésif de qualité standard, un faible tack suffit. - ― On dispose d'une plus grande liberté de choix pour l'emplacement de l'étiquette. En effet, la feuille devant constituer l'emballage du produit est, à ce moment, développée à plat sous la forme d'une bande continue. Comme elle est en défilement par rapport à l'organe de pose, un simple réglage des paramètres respectifs d'entraînement suffit.
- ― Dans le cas particulier de l'étui de mouchoirs en papier, dont le rabat est formé par une partie de l'enveloppe elle-même, convenablement prédécoupée, la ligne de perforations est réalisée sur la bande de matériau souple avant sa transformation en étuis. Or, les prédécoupes sont autant de lignes de faiblesse susceptibles de céder sous l'action des diverses tensions qui s'exercent sur la bande souple dans son passage à travers la machine. Grâce aux étiquettes chevauchant les lignes de perforation, les risques de déchirure, voire de rupture de la bande sont de ce fait nettement réduits. Cet avantage, bien entendu, est valable dans la mesure seulement où celles-ci sont appliquées immédiatement en aval de l'endroit où l'on réalise les prédécoupes. A la limite, cette disposition des organes autorise la réalisation d'une découpe continue du rabat.
- - The label is no longer affixed to a soft product, it suffices to provide a rigid support for the sheet, facing the fitting member. This results in greater reliability and better precision.
Standard quality adhesive can be used, low tack is sufficient. - - There is greater freedom of choice for the location of the label. In fact, the sheet intended to constitute the packaging of the product is, at this time, developed flat in the form of a continuous strip. As it is moving relative to the setting member, a simple adjustment of the respective drive parameters is sufficient.
- - In the particular case of the tissue case, whose flap is formed by a part of the envelope itself, suitably pre-cut, the line of perforations is made on the strip of flexible material before its transformation into cases . However, the pre-cuts are all lines of weakness liable to give way under the action of the various tensions exerted on the flexible strip. in its passage through the machine. Thanks to the labels straddling the perforation lines, the risks of tearing or even breaking of the strip are therefore considerably reduced. This advantage, of course, is valid only insofar as these are applied immediately downstream of the place where the precuts are made. Ultimately, this arrangement of the bodies allows the continuous cutting of the flap.
Le dispositif conforme à l'invention concerne un dispositif pour envelopper des mouchoirs en papier dans des étuis avec une étiquette rapportée formant attache adhésive, comportant:
- ― un moyen pour dérouler et entraîner une bande de matière souple
- ― un moyen pour pratiquer des lignes de perforations discontinues à intervalles réguliers dans cette bande
- ― un moyen pour convoyer un ruban adhésivé sur une face et la déposer sous forme d'étiquettes sur la bande de matière souple
- ― et un moyen pour envelopper les produits, l'étiquette étant disposée sur la face externe de l'enveloppe.
- - a means for unwinding and driving a strip of flexible material
- - a means for practicing discontinuous lines of perforations at regular intervals in this strip
- A means for conveying an adhesive tape on one side and depositing it in the form of labels on the strip of flexible material
- - And a means for wrapping the products, the label being arranged on the external face of the envelope.
Ce dispositif est caractérisé en ce que les lignes de perforations sont pratiquées de manière à délimiter chacune un rabat dont l'axe de pliage est défini par les extrémités de ladite ligne, et en ce qu'il comprend en outre un dispositif de coupe et de transfert comportant un organe de coupe monté sur un cylindre tournant coopérant avec un moyen de transfert cylindriquement d'axe perpendiculaire à la direction de déplacement de la bande et en contact sans glissement avec cette dernière, ledit dispositif assurant la découpe transversale dudit ruban en étiquettes individuelles et le transfert desdites étiquettes sur la bande à l'endroit des lignes de perforations.This device is characterized in that the perforation lines are made so as to each delimit a flap whose folding axis is defined by the ends of said line, and in that it further comprises a cutting and transfer comprising a cutting member mounted on a rotating cylinder cooperating with a cylindrical transfer means with an axis perpendicular to the direction of movement of the strip and in non-sliding contact with the latter, said device ensuring the transverse cutting of said strip into individual labels and transferring said labels onto the strip at the location of the perforation lines.
On connaît par US 4584201 un dispositif permettant de fabriquer des sachets pourvus d'une étiquette adhésivée sur l'extérieur avec laquelle on peut maintenir le bord rabattu. Toutefois, ce document n'apporte aucun enseignement sur les étuis avec prédécoupe du rabat dans l'enveloppe.US 4584201 discloses a device for manufacturing sachets provided with an adhesive label on the outside with which the folded edge can be kept. However, this document does not provide any teaching on the cases with precut of the flap in the envelope.
On connaît également FR-A-1399053 qui vise un dispositif d'application d'opercules sur un matériau en bande continue; toutefois le mode d'application envisagé ne résout pas la question des contraintes excessives exercées sur le matériau pendant la mise en place de l'opercule.Also known is FR-A-1399053 which relates to a device for applying lids on a material in continuous strip; however, the mode of application envisaged does not resolve the question of the excessive stresses exerted on the material during the positioning of the cover.
On connaît également FR-A-2427987 qui concerne un distributeur automatique de ruban avec emploi d'un cylindre de transfert; toutefois ce document ne vise pas la réduction des contraintes exercées sur le support d'application des éléments du ruban, mais simplement à assurer la découpe régulière et à cadence élevée du ruban.Also known is FR-A-2427987 which relates to an automatic tape dispenser with the use of a transfer cylinder; however, this document does not aim to reduce the stresses exerted on the support for applying the elements of the ribbon, but simply to ensure regular cutting and at high speed of the ribbon.
La description qui suit se rapporte à un mode de réalisation non limitatif de l'invention.
- La figure 1 est un schéma simplifié d'une ligne de production.
- La figure 2 représente en détail le poste de pose des étiquettes.
- Figure 1 is a simplified diagram of a production line.
- Figure 2 shows in detail the labeling station.
On a représenté schématiquement sur la figure 1 une installation d'emballage de paquets de mouchoirs en ouate de cellulose. Ces paquets formés de 8 ou 10 mouchoirs proviennent d'un poste amont par rapport à la direction des flèches, non représenté, où la ouate de cellulose a été transformée, c'est-à-dire pliée et découpée, et où les mouchoirs ont été empilés par paquets (2). Ils sont conduits par un transporteur à bande vers le poste (4), représenté symboliquement par un bloc, pour être emballés dans un étui. Le poste (4) est également alimenté en feuilles (3) devant constituer les étuis. A la sortie, les paquets de mouchoirs (5) enveloppés dans les feuilles (3) sont dirigés au moyen d'un transporteur à bande vers un autre poste pour y subir éventuellement d'autres transformations, ou bien pour être préparés pour le transport.There is shown schematically in FIG. 1 an installation for packaging packages of tissues of cellulose wadding. These packages formed of 8 or 10 handkerchiefs come from an upstream post relative to the direction of the arrows, not shown, where the cellulose wadding has been transformed, that is to say folded and cut, and where the handkerchiefs have been stacked in bundles (2). They are led by a conveyor belt to the station (4), symbolically represented by a block, to be packed in a case. The station (4) is also supplied with sheets (3) which must constitute the cases. At the exit, the packages of handkerchiefs (5) wrapped in the sheets (3) are directed by means of a conveyor belt to another station to undergo possibly other transformations, or else to be prepared for transport.
Dans les installations connues par la Demanderesse, l'étiquette est apposée sur les paquets à leur sortie du poste (4), avec les inconvénients dus au fait qu'il s'agit d'un produit mou.In installations known to the Applicant, the label is affixed to the packages as they leave the station (4), with the disadvantages due to the fact that it is a soft product.
On peut réaliser cette opération plus simplement et avec une grande fiabilité en déposant l'étiquette sur le film d'enveloppe, avant la confection des étuis.This operation can be carried out more simply and with great reliability by depositing the label on the envelope film, before making the cases.
La figure 2 représente plus en détail le poste (6) dans lequel est effectuée cette opération.Figure 2 shows in more detail the station (6) in which this operation is carried out.
Une bande (11) d'un matériau plastique tel que le polyéthylène, ou bien en papier, est fournie à partir d'une bobine montée à rotation sur un axe (10). La bande est maintenue tendue, au cours de son défilement à une vitesse linéaire V1, au moyen d'un bras oscillant (12).A strip (11) of a plastic material such as polyethylene, or else of paper, is supplied from a coil mounted to rotate on an axis (10). The strip is kept stretched, during its running at a linear speed V1, by means of an oscillating arm (12).
Elle est guidée par divers cylindres de renvoi (13) jusqu'à un dispositif de prédécoupe (14) des rabats. Celui-ci comprend deux cylindres (15, 16) montés à rotation sur des axes parallèles. L'un des cylindres (15) comporte une lame coupante (17) pourvue d'échancrures assurant une ligne de coupe discontinue, et dont la forme correspond à celle de la prédécoupe désirée. Cette dernière est réalisée sur la bande, au passage de la lame (17), par l'intervalle de pincement des deux cylindres.It is guided by various return cylinders (13) to a precut device (14) of the flaps. This comprises two cylinders (15, 16) mounted for rotation on parallel axes. One of the cylinders (15) comprises a cutting blade (17) provided with notches ensuring a discontinuous cutting line, and the shape of which corresponds to that of the desired precut. The latter is produced on the strip, at the passage of the blade (17), by the nip interval of the two cylinders.
Une bobine de ruban en plastique ou en papier (21), adhésivé sur une face, est montée à rotation sur l'axe (22). Le ruban (21) est entraîné à une vitesse linéaire V2 inférieure à V1 par les cylindres moteurs (24) dont les axes de rotation sont parallèles.A reel of plastic or paper tape (21), adhesive on one side, is rotatably mounted on the axis (22). The ribbon (21) is driven at a linear speed V2 lower than V1 by the driving cylinders (24) whose axes of rotation are parallel.
Conformément à l'invention, on a disposé, en aval des cylindres (24) par rapport au sens de défilement du ruban (21), un dispositif de coupe et de transfert (25). Il est constitué de deux cylindres (26, 28) entraînés en rotation dans des sens opposés autour d'axes parallèles aux cylindres moteurs. En particulier, le cylindre de transfert 28 est disposé et est entraîné de telle sorte qu'il roule sans glissement sur la bande (11). Sa vitesse linéaire est V1.According to the invention, there is arranged, downstream of the cylinders (24) relative to the direction of travel of the ribbon (21), a cutting and transfer device (25). It consists of two cylinders (26, 28) rotated in opposite directions around axes parallel to the driving cylinders. In particular, the
Le cylindre (26) tourne à une vitesse synchronisée avec celle des cylindres moteurs (24) et comporte, en surface, des lames coupantes (27) orientées parallèlement à sa génératrice, venant à chaque rotation prendre appui sur la surface du cylindre adjacent (28). Elles coopèrent avec le cylindre (28) aspirant pour découper les étiquettes dans le ruban qui est introduit dans leur intervalle. La surface du cylindre (28) est percée d'orifices communiquant avec une zone sous vide, et retient les étiquettes après leur découpe. Il est à noter que le ruban est présenté face non adhésivée sur le cylindre 28.The cylinder (26) rotates at a speed synchronized with that of the driving cylinders (24) and comprises, on the surface, cutting blades (27) oriented parallel to its generatrix, coming at each rotation to bear on the surface of the adjacent cylinder (28 ). They cooperate with the suction cylinder (28) for cutting the labels from the ribbon which is inserted in their interval. The surface of the cylinder (28) is pierced with orifices communicating with a vacuum zone, and retains the labels after they have been cut. It should be noted that the ribbon is presented face non-adhesive on the
Un troisième cylindre (30), à la verticale des deux premiers (26 et 28), tournant en sens opposé par rapport au cylindre (28), comporte des éléments (31), formant enclumes, qui viennent, à chaque rotation, en appui sur le cylindre (28).A third cylinder (30), vertical to the first two (26 and 28), rotating in opposite direction with respect to the cylinder (28), comprises elements (31), forming anvils, which come to bear on each rotation on the cylinder (28).
Dans la zone d'appui des deux cylindres (28, 30), pour faciliter le transfert des étiquettes au moment où elles passent dans cette position, la communication de la surface du cylindre (28) avec le vide est interrompue par une chicane non représentée, ou par un autre moyen interne.In the support zone of the two cylinders (28, 30), to facilitate the transfer of the labels when they pass in this position, the communication of the surface of the cylinder (28) with the vacuum is interrupted by a baffle not shown , or by some other internal means.
La bande provenant du dispositif de prédécoupe passe dans l'intervalle de pincement des cylindres (28 et 30), y reçoit les étiquettes, et est acheminée vers le poste de confection des étuis (4), par les cylindres de renvoi (33).The strip coming from the precut device passes through the nip of the cylinders (28 and 30), receives the labels there, and is conveyed to the case-making station (4), by the return cylinders (33).
Dans l'exemple représenté, le poste d'emballage comporte un disque de grand diamètre (40), dans lequel on a ménagé des alvéoles (41) parallèles à son axe pour recevoir individuellement les feuilles (3). Celles-ci sont obtenues par le dispositif (42) qui assure à la fois la découpe de la bande et la distribution dans les alvéoles. Après rotation du disque, d'un certain angle, les paquets de mouchoirs sont introduits à leur tour dans les emplacements occupés par les feuilles pour y être emballés. Bien que le fonctionnement apparaisse clairement à la lecture de ce qui précède, on le résume brièvement ci-après.In the example shown, the packaging station comprises a large diameter disc (40), in which cells (41) have been arranged parallel to its axis to receive the sheets (3) individually. These are obtained by the device (42) which ensures both the cutting of the strip and the distribution in the cells. After rotation of the disc, from a certain angle, the packs of tissues are introduced in their turn into the locations occupied by the sheets to be wrapped there. Although the operation appears clearly on reading the above, it is briefly summarized below.
La bande (11) est déroulée depuis sa bobine d'alimentation, elle est guidée jusqu'au dispositif (14) où la lame (17) lui imprime, à intervalles réguliers, une ligne de perforations (11a). Le levier oscillant (12) permet de régler la bande à une tension suffisante pour éviter les plis ou les relâchements.The strip (11) is unwound from its supply reel, it is guided to the device (14) where the blade (17) gives it, at regular intervals, a line of perforations (11a). The oscillating lever (12) allows the belt to be adjusted to a sufficient tension to prevent creases or slackening.
Ensuite, la bande parvient au niveau des cylindres (26, 28, 30) pour recevoir les étiquettes (11b) de la façon suivante:Then, the strip reaches the level of the cylinders (26, 28, 30) to receive the labels (11b) as follows:
Le ruban (21) est guidé à la vitesse V2 par les rouleaux (24) en direction du cylindre de transfert (28) qui tourne à la vitesse V1. La face non adhésivée du ruban est maintenue en contact glissant avec celui-ci grâce à la différence de pression qui règne de part et d'autre de la paroi du cylindre. Quand le ruban a été engagé d'une longueur déterminée, la lame coupante (27) vient en position dans l'intervalle de pincement entre les cylindres (26 et 28) et pénètre dans le ruban dont il découpe une étiquette (11b). Celle-ci poursuit alors son déplacement à la vitesse V1 jusqu'à venir au contact de la bande 11, par sa face adhésivée contre lequel il est pressé.The ribbon (21) is guided at speed V2 by the rollers (24) in the direction of the transfer cylinder (28) which rotates at speed V1. The non-adhesive side of the tape is kept in sliding contact with it thanks to the pressure difference that prevails on either side of the cylinder wall. When the ribbon has been engaged with a determined length, the cutting blade (27) comes into position in the nip between the cylinders (26 and 28) and enters the ribbon, from which it cuts a label (11b). The latter then continues its movement at speed V1 until it comes into contact with the strip 11, by its adhesive-coated face against which it is pressed.
Quand la face adhésivée de l'étiquette vient au contact du film (11) la dépression, à laquelle est soumise sa face opposée, est interrompue afin de permettre le transfert sur le film. La rotation du contre-rouleau (30) est synchronisée avec l'avance des étiquettes de sorte que les enclumes (31) servent de surface d'appui.When the adhesive-coated face of the label comes into contact with the film (11), the depression, to which its opposite face is subjected, is interrupted in order to allow transfer to the film. The rotation of the counter-roller (30) is synchronized with the advance of the labels so that the anvils (31) serve as a bearing surface.
Il appartient au technicien de disposer les différents éléments les uns par rapport aux autres, et de synchroniser les mouvements de rotation des cylindres de telle sorte que les étiquettes viennent se placer à l'endroit souhaité par rapport à la prédécoupe (11a), comme cela est représenté sur la figure.It is up to the technician to arrange the various elements with respect to each other, and to synchronize the rotational movements of the cylinders so that the labels are placed at the desired location with respect to the precut (11a), like this. is shown in the figure.
La bande est ensuite guidée vers le poste (42) où elle est séparée en feuilles individuelles qui sont introduites une à une dans les alvéoles (41) pour recevoir les paquets de mouchoirs. L'étui est ensuite formé autour du paquet par un rabattement approprié des bords de la feuille et leur scellage.The strip is then guided to the station (42) where it is separated into individual sheets which are introduced one by one into the cells (41) to receive the packs of tissues. The case is then formed around the package by an appropriate folding of the edges of the sheet and their sealing.
La description qui précède se rapporte à la pose de languettes adhésivées sur des étuis de mouchoirs en papier. Le procédé est bien entendu applicable chaque fois qu'un produit doit être enveloppé dans une feuille en un matériau souple, qu'il s'agisse d'une languette adhésivée formant attache ou bien d'une simple étiquette.The foregoing description relates to the installation of adhesive tabs on tissue boxes. The method is of course applicable whenever a product must be wrapped in a sheet of flexible material, whether it is an adhesive tab forming a fastener or even a simple label.
Claims (1)
characterised in that the lines of perforations are made in such a way that each bounds a flap whose fold axis is defined by the ends of the said line, and in that the means also comprise a cutting and transfer device (27, 28) comprising a cutting member (27) mounted on a rotating cylinder which acts in concert with cylindrical transfer means (28) having an axis perpendicular to the direction of movement of the strip and sliding contact therewith, the said device transversely cutting out the said tape into individual labels (11b) and transferring the said labels onto the strip (11) at the position of the lines of perforations (11a).
