Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machine for applying labeling sleeves to bottles or the like.
  • This machine is characterized in that it comprises a device for discontinuous presentation of the labeling sleeves, a device for the continuous scrolling of the bottles to be labeled, a set for transferring the sleeves from the device for presenting the sleeves and towards the bottles of the bottle scrolling device, this transfer assembly comprising several independent sleeves support carriages, these carriages being movable on an endless guide path, a flexible driving and endless band moving on guide means, near the path guide, means ensuring the connection of the flexible strip and the carriages, this flexible strip locally having at least one zone which evolves perpendicular to the strip, in the form of a loop, for the momentary stop of the carriages successively in front of the device for discontinuous presentation of sleeves.
  • the carriages each comprise two supports for receiving the sleeves, these supports being movable towards each other on slides and cooperating each with a closed cam path to ensure the approximation and spacing of the supports.
  • the means ensuring the connection of the flexible strip and of each carriage are constituted by a movable cleat in a slide, this cleat and this slide being fixed, one to the carriage, the other to the band.
  • the machine comprises a set for installing the sleeves on the bottles scrolling continuously, this laying set receiving the sleeves of the transfer assembly and comprising several clamping devices for the sleeves, these devices being associated with means ensuring the translational movement of these clamping devices along a closed line.
  • the present invention therefore aims to achieve a machine which ensures the placement of labeling sleeves on bottles or the like and, in particular, on full bottles, which move continuously on a conveyor.
  • the machine shown in the attached drawings consists of four parts, namely a part 1 successively ensuring the discontinuous presentation of the sleeves, a transfer device 2 successively and discontinuously receiving the sleeves of the device 1 and transferring them continuously towards a device 3 which ensures the continuous positioning of the sleeves on the bottles, which run continuously on a transfer path 4.
  • This machine therefore makes it possible to obtain, from a successive and therefore discontinuous supply of sleeves, continuous positioning of these sleeves on bottles which pass on a conveyor.
  • the sleeve presentation device comprises a shaper 5 produced in the form of a cylinder whose cross section corresponds to that of the bottles 6 to be labeled.
  • this cylinder 5 On the periphery of this cylinder 5 are arranged several sets of rollers on which pairs of drive rollers 6 and 7 are applied.
  • the labeling sleeves threaded onto the former 5 are connected to each other by a circular line of perforations and these sleeves are brought between the rollers 51 on the one hand and the pairs of rollers 6 and 7, on the other hand, up to 'a line of perforations is placed between the rollers 6 and 7. At this time, the rollers 6 are immobilized, while the drive of the rollers 7 is maintained. This gives the separation of the sleeves up to their line of perforations.
  • These sleeves are then successively taken care of by the transfer device 2 which comprises several independent carriages 8 moving via their rollers 9 in endless guide tracks 10 formed on two parallel flanges 11.
  • Each carriage 8 receives two bases 12 which are slidably mounted relative to each other on slides 13 transverse to the direction of movement of the carriage 8.
  • Each base 12 supports a blade 14 whose shape and dimensions correspond substantially to those of half a bottle 6.
  • Each base 12 is also provided with a roller 121 cooperating with a closed cam path 15 provided on each of the flanges 11 comprising the endless guide paths 10 for the carriages 8.
  • a partition 16 which serves to support a set of sprockets 171 to 177 on which an endless chain 18 is stretched.
  • This chain 18 is provided with regularly distributed tabs 19 which each come to be housed, by a roller, in a U-shaped profile 20 fixed perpendicularly under each of the carriages 8.
  • the chain 18 is driven in displacement at a uniform speed by a not shown drive member and it drives the carriages 8 at this same uniform speed by means of the cleat 19 and the profile 20 insofar as the distance between the chain 18 and the guide tracks 10 remains constant.
  • the rollers 176 and 177 the chain 18 moves away from the guide tracks 10, so that when a carriage is driven by the chain 18 between these two pinions 176 and 177 it sees its speed of movement slow down while the roller provided at the end of the cleat 19 moves in the profile 20.
  • the rollers 177 and 171 the speed of movement of the carriages increases .
  • the sprockets 173 and 174 in combination with the roller 175, give the chain 18 the form of a loop 181 at the height of which the chain evolves locally in a direction XX which is perpendicular to the path endless cam 10.
  • the rollers 7 have separated and driven one of the sleeves in order to place it on the blades 13 and 14 of this carriage.
  • the blades 13 and 14 are brought closer to each other by cooperation of the rollers 121 with the closed cam tracks 15.
  • This installation device 3 consists of a drum essentially comprising two circular parallel flanges 22 carrying at their periphery clamping devices for sleeves 23 axially movable and arranged opposite one another.
  • Each clamping device comprises a fixed part 24 placed opposite a movable part 25 driven in displacement by a motor member 26 constituted, for example, by an electromagnet with a plunger core.
  • Each clamping device is provided (see FIG. 3) with an arm 27 pivoting on an axis 273 and which comprises, at its free end, tabs 271 and 272 which are housed one, 271, in a circular groove 231 of the clamp corresponding 23 and the other, 272, in a circular cam groove 28 formed at the periphery of a fixed ring 281.
  • This arrangement therefore allows the clamping devices 23 to be brought closer or apart from one another in order to tension or, on the contrary, to release the sleeve clamped between the parts 24 and the clamps.
  • this device for fitting the sleeves 3 comprises means which ensure the translational movement of the clamping devices 23 during the rotation of the drum 22.
  • the clamps 24, 25 and the sleeves which they support, are thus moved parallel to themselves on a circular path, that is to say parallel to the axis of the bottles 6 which must receive these sleeves.
  • the transmission ratios of these pulley and belt assemblies are determined so that, for a given angular displacement of the flanges 22 of the drum, an identical angular displacement of the clamping devices 23 of the two flanges 22 is obtained, so that these are driven in a circular translational movement, parallel to the axis of the bottles 6.
  • the clamping devices 23 are separated from one another to allow their passage over a bottle and the establishment of a sleeve.
  • the motor member 26 is actuated in order to separate the parts 24 and 25 of the clamps, while the downward movement of the clamping members 23 continues due to the rotation of the flanges 22.
  • the fixed parts 24 of the clamps slide then on the lower part of the sleeves 21 which are themselves held on the bottles by simple friction.
  • the clamping devices are separated from each other, while they go up along a bottle to finally separate from it.
  • the clamping devices are brought together again while the movable parts 25 are moved away from the fixed parts 24 in order to continuously receive the sleeves which arise and which are each supported by a carriage 8.
  • the machine includes a device 3 for fitting the sleeves between the transfer device 2 for the sleeves and the device 4 for transferring the bottles.
  • the device 3 can be deleted and in this case, the device 2 will ensure the direct transfer of the sleeve to the bottles 6.
  • the chain 18 will be driven at a uniform speed corresponding to the running speed of the bottles.
  • the underside of the device 2 will be of a suitable shape and structure so as to carry out the displacement by translation of the carriages during the removal of the sleeves on the bottles.
