Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clip, in particular for packaging purposes, with two arms molded from plastic, which in the closed state are connected to one another at two points and form at least one opening between them for enclosing a packaging item or container, the hinge at one of the points , the two arms are pivotally connected to each other for opening or closing, and in the area of the other point, the closing end, a part of an openable and reclosable closing member and a seal are arranged on the arms.
  • Such clips are e.g. known from US-A-3 818 553. Resealable clips of this type have relatively complicated shaped locking members, both hands of which are required to open.
  • the clip is equipped according to the invention with the features defined in the patent claims.
  • the clip once opened, can be closed again by simply pressing on the two clip arms because of the dimensionally stable design of the clip arms, including the two interacting parts of the closing member. This can easily be done with one hand.
  • the attachment of the clip is also made easier by simply swiveling the two dimensionally stable clip arms mechanically around the gathered neck of the bag.
  • a corresponding clip pliers in which the clip can be inserted in the open position, has two jaws that can be pivoted relative to one another, the pivot axes of which essentially coincide with the pivot axis of the inserted clip.
  • the clip pliers can form part of the gathering mechanism for the neck of bags to be closed.
  • the clip according to the invention can be used as such or else as a base module with different shapes.
  • the projections can in particular be designed as tongues which form an opening aid.
  • FIGS. 1 to 6 As a single clip and in FIGS. 7 and 8 in conjunction with other corresponding clips.
  • This clip 1 is designed as a guarantee closure, which is shown in FIG. 6 in the closed state before its first opening.
  • the clip 1 is constructed from two arms 2 and 3, which are pivotally connected to one another via a hinge 4.
  • the hinge 4 can be designed in various ways, for example as a film hinge, as a self-closing hinge with a train that interacts with a film hinge or as a catch that acts as a hinge.
  • the hinge 4 is designed as a simple film hinge, which is injection-molded in one piece with the two arms 2, 3 from plastic.
  • the two arms 2 and 3 are essentially dimensionally stable, so that they form a defined opening 5 (see FIG. 6) for receiving the end of the bag pack.
  • the shape of the two arms can be adapted to the size of the bag package to be closed, so that an optimal hold is created which prevents the clip 1 from being pulled off over the end of the bag. This is also prevented by stiffening ribs 6, which are formed on the inside of the arms 2 and 3 and press together as a bag material when the clip is closed.
  • closure members 10, 10 ' which can be opened and closed are provided on the inner side of the predetermined breaking zone 7 in the clip according to the invention.
  • a resilient projection 10 is formed on an arm 2 and engages in a corresponding recess 10 'on the other arm 3.
  • the snap connection formed in this way can be easily opened and closed by hand. When closed, the clip holds the end of the bag together.
  • the closure members are molded onto the dimensionally stable arms 2, 3. They can therefore be closed or opened by simply compressing or pulling these arms 2, 3 around the hinge 4.
  • a self-closing hinge 4 can be provided which, in addition to the film hinge, has a pull which presses the two halves against one another when a certain dead center is exceeded during the pivoting. Finally, a corresponding effect can be achieved by a hinge that has to be swung open against an elastic closing force and always returns to the closed starting position.
  • the arms 2, 3 are preferably trapezoidal in the exemplary embodiment described. This offers the advantage that printable outer surfaces are formed, which can be provided with brand names and / or expiry dates, for example. Furthermore, these areas advantageous for mechanically closing the clips 1.
  • the parts of a guarantee closure are also attached to the ends of the arms.
  • the seal parts 9, 9 ' are integrally formed on the closure parts 10, 10' of the clip arms 2, 3 each via a predetermined breaking or cutting zone 7.
  • the cross section of the predetermined breaking or cutting zone 7 is dimensioned in such a way that the plastic can be cut through without any special force.
  • the predetermined breaking zone 7 is formed in the present embodiment by two webs 8 with reduced wall thickness.
  • the seal parts 9, 9 'formed on the outside at the predetermined breaking point 7 need not be of identical design, as can be seen from FIGS. 1, 3 and 5.
  • the seal parts 9, 9 ' have organs which produce a manually undetachable connection between them in the closed state. In the present exemplary embodiment, they are connected to one another by ultrasound welding when they are closed, the cross sections shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 intermeshing by fusing. In the closed state, as can be seen in FIG. 6, the two seal parts 9, 9 'are inseparably combined into one part.
  • another, non-detachable connection e.g. be provided by barbs, gluing, riveting or caulking, as will be explained in more detail.
  • the tab therefore serves as a seal, the presence of which guarantees that the clip has not yet been opened. If the seal is missing, this is a sign that the packaging has already been tampered with has been. Packaging with a missing seal can easily be recognized by the sales staff and taken out of circulation.
  • the two arms 2, 3 remain from the clip 1, as shown in FIG. 6 to the right of the dashed line. These two arms 2, 3 can now be opened manually by pivoting, removed from the end of the bag and used to reclose them.
  • the clips 1 Before being attached to bag packs, the clips 1 according to the present exemplary embodiment are combined to form a band 11, a piece of which is shown in FIG. 7.
  • clips 1 are separably connected to one another. In the example described, this is achieved in that the clips are sprayed onto two parallel threads 12 during the injection molding, which connect the clips 1 to one another. These threads 12 are arranged in the area of the outer trapezoid corners of the halves 2, 3, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the connection between the individual clips could also be made by means of molded plastic webs or the like.
  • threads 12 has the advantage that the threads pass through injection molding can be guided, wherein in each case a whole band section with several clips 1 is injection molded and pushed out of the mold on the threads, after which a further band section is sprayed onto the same threads.
  • the band 11 thus formed can e.g. be rolled up.
  • the individual clips 1 are shaped so that they are stackable, i.e. e.g. center when rolling up and form a roll of balanced thickness across the entire width. 8 two layers from a roll or a stack are shown schematically.
  • the frontmost clip of a tape is cut off, placed around the end of the bag and finally closed.
  • the clip tapes can also be designed in other ways, e.g. by connecting several clips lengthways. Instead of in the form of rolls, the tapes can also be manufactured and processed in rows or stacks.
  • an extruded profile can also be assumed, which may be pre-perforated and then separated into individual clips on the attachment device.
  • the previously described embodiment of the clip which has been completely preformed in plastic, has the advantage, in addition to the advantages already mentioned, that it does not need to be deformed by the attachment device when it is attached. Its stable, trapezoidal arms clearly and predictably define the opening of the clip. This allows the clip shape to be adjusted very precisely to the respective bag pack.
  • the attachment device is also simplified.
  • curved or polygonal arms can also be used instead of the trapezoidal arms.
  • the two arms 2, 3 need not be shaped identically.
  • Figures 9 to 11 show another embodiment of the seal parts 30, 30 '.
  • One of the two seal parts 30 ' has a plate 31 fastened at predetermined breaking points.
  • the two seal parts 30, 30 ' can be fixed to the clip arms 2, 3 or connected via additional predetermined breaking points 7, the clip in the latter case also being able to be opened by tearing off the hooked seal parts.
  • the clip can be closed again by the reclosable closure parts 10, 10 'on the base module.
  • FIG. 12 and 13 further versions are shown, which additional opening tabs 32, 32 'and. 33 33 '.
  • a clip is always shown in open and closed side view and in top view.
  • the dimensionally stable opening tabs are rigidly connected to the clip arms and arranged in a V-shape.
  • they are laterally offset.
  • Such offset tabs are easier to grasp and offer the advantage that they can be used as decorative elements, e.g. can be trained as stylized loop parts, clover leaf halves, heart halves etc.
  • Such rigid opening tabs have the advantage that they are easy to use with one hand. However, it is also possible to make the opening tabs flexible.
  • both the basic module of the clip ie the clip arms 2, 3 with locking parts and seal parts, can be used the possible opening tabs can be varied almost arbitrarily in design and arrangement.
  • the clip shapes shown are all suitable for production and processing in tape form, namely as a stack or rolls of tape. This simplifies both clip production and further processing. If the clips are made in bulk, they can be further processed by hand, i.e. attached to packs.
  • FIG. 14 shows a first embodiment of a clip machine, the drives, in particular a cam disk 200, only being shown schematically.
  • the bags 28 to be closed are fed on a straight 21 or a curved path 22, 22 'by means of a bucket elevator 213 or the like.
  • the independent (free-standing) bucket elevator is clocked and driven separately.
  • free-standing, clocking carousel bucket elevators are possible, which feed the bag on a curve 22 or 22 '. Solutions are also possible in which the clip machine and bucket elevator (straight or carousel) form one unit.
  • the machine described here allows the bag to be on the feed line or on the feed curve itself flatten, gather and clip, which guarantees a point-symmetrical bag closure. This is done in that flat holding flaps 23 and 24 close synchronously in axis 21 via a cam drive 25 and a fixed gearwheel 26 by means of racks 27 and flatten the bag material there.
  • a plate 227 supported by springs 228 can be embedded in the one flat holding flap 24, via which the bag ruffle quality can be influenced by changing the spring pressure and by choosing the material and design of the plate 227 in order to obtain an optimal large-angle ruffle.
  • a clip feed and singling unit 29 pushes the clip 1, which is separated and thus isolated from the clip band, into a clip pliers 212 in time via a plunger 210, during which a bag in bucket elevator 213 (regardless of the clip machine) is advanced by a clock 219.
  • the unit 29 has a separate drive. By advancing, cutting and inserting the clip in pliers 212 during the bucket elevator cycle, cycle time is saved on the main drive 214, which results in higher clip outputs.
  • the clip inserted in pliers 212 is moved by means of a cam drive 215 simultaneously with the synchronous moving together of the flat holding flaps 23/24 after the bucket elevator cycle onto the bag axis 21, together with a gatherer 217 attached to a common slide 216.
  • the bag flattened in the bag axis 21 is gathered symmetrically in the bag center 220 by means of cam drive 218/218 'by means of tongs 212 and rafters 217.
  • a rod 221 is advanced over the cam drive 224 by a pin 222, which at this point is in engagement with a pawl 223, which causes the tong halves to close 225/226 and thus closing the clip.
  • the two pliers halves are pivoted about a common pivot point, which coincides with the hinge 4 of the inserted clip 1.
  • the two dimensionally stable halves 2, 3 of the clip are held in the pliers halves 225, 226 and are pressed together in the area of the closure members with sufficient force so that they snap into place or the guarantee closure parts interlock (see FIG. 10).
  • the pliers are opened again by returning the cam drive 224.
  • the packer 212/217 and the slide 216 return to their original position; the clip cycle is finished.
  • the bag can be flattened according to the embodiment in FIG. 15 by means of a rounded plate 330 against a fixed, rounded plate 331 and gathering along a curve 32 by means of pliers 312 and rafters 317, the bag being fed on axis 31 done in a straight line. With this solution too, the bag is clipped into the center 320.
  • the clip described is particularly suitable for closing bag packs, but can also be used for fixing or clamping other objects.
  • the dimensionally stable arms 2, 3 can be adapted to the shape of these objects.
  • the clip has no metal parts, which in the case of pouch packaging allows the pre-packed pouch to pass through metal detectors.
  • the clip is injury-free in all its designs, with no sharp tips or corners protruding, and is light, i.e. can be opened and closed with one hand.
