Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for manufacturing cardboard angles provided with a coating.
  • the invention also relates to the angles made according to the method and / or by means of the device according to the invention.
  • angles To protect certain edges of angles, in particular in packages surrounded by strips, it is known to use angles.
  • the strips are formed by a complex based on aluminum and / or polyethylene.
  • the inner face of at least the second coating strip and / or the face of the cardboard strip to which it is applied is previously heated before being applied and glued by pressure.
  • the longitudinal folding can be carried out either so that the second covering strip forms the inside surface of the angle iron, or in opposite directions so that the second covering strip forms the outside surface of the angle iron.
  • the invention also relates to a device for implementing the method and which is remarkable in that it comprises a supply and gluing system in superposition of at least one strip of cardboard on a first strip of coating, a wrapper to fold the first coating strip, an applicator downstream of the wrapper to apply the second coating strip and a folder to fold the assembly longitudinally.
  • the applicator comprises a heating device and at least one pressure roller.
  • the wrapper has two lateral wings each provided with an inward fold to form a passage so that the cross section of said passage decreases both in width and in height over at least part of the length of said wrapper in the direction of travel of the strips.
  • the wings of the wrapper are mounted so that their reciprocal spacing is adjustable, in order to be able to easily adapt said wrapper to the different strip widths.
  • the invention also relates to the angles manufactured according to the method and / or by means of the abovementioned device.
  • an angle iron according to the invention is remarkable in that it comprises at least one strip of cardboard thus forming two faces of a complex which is caught between two strips of covering, one of which is wider than said cardboard strip (s) is glued to one side of the complex and folded over to the other side of the complex, while the other covering strip, of a width equivalent to that of the cardboard strip (s) , is applied to said other face of the complex and to the folds of the first covering strip.
  • FIGS. 1 to 7 several strips of cardboard of the same width are brought into longitudinal superposition, here 1a, 1b, 1c by means of a supply device. (not shown) comprising for example several reels.
  • the strips are brought to one another with the interposition of a layer of glue by means, for example, of glueers (not shown). If the figures show 3 strips of cardboard, there can of course be more, or less.
  • the thicknesses shown are completely arbitrary.
  • the three strips 1a to 1c arrive above a first covering strip 2a slightly wider than said cardboard strips and also covered on top with a layer of glue.
  • the strip 2a is for example based on polyethylene and / or aluminum.
  • This first manufacturing phase is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2.
  • the assembly formed by the covering strip 2a and by the cardboard strips 1a to 1c then enters a wrapper 3 (phase shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3).
  • the wrapper 3 which will be described in more detail below, is intended to fold the edges of the strip 2a on the sides of the cardboard strips (FIG. 3) until it forms folds above the free face of the last strip of cardboard 1c (FIG. 4), the complex (1a, 1b, 1c, 2a) thus formed leaving the wrapper 3 as shown in FIG. 5.
  • a second covering strip 2b of the same kind as the strip 2a but with a width similar to that of the cardboard strips 1a to 1c is brought as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, downstream of the wrapper 3 to be applied to the aforementioned complex.
  • the bands 2a and 2b are shown in the drawings in solid lines.
  • this strip 2b In order to facilitate the bonding of this strip 2b on the folds of the strip 2a and the upper face of the last strip 1c, the latter and / or the inner face facing the strip 2b is previously heated by means of a device for heating 4 (figure 1). The application of the strip 2b is further ensured by a pressure roller 5 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6.
  • the folder 6 comprises two chains 6a, 6b each formed by a plurality of chevron-shaped links in FIG. 7, fitting into each other over a certain length so as to fold the complex (1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b) longitudinally by enclosing it to form an angle 7 ( Figures 1 and 7).
  • the wrapper 3 comprises two symmetrical lateral wings 3a, 3b (FIGS. 8 to 11), the spacing of which is preferably adjustable by means of, for example, knobs 8a, 8b (FIGS. 1, 8 and 9) intended to actuate screws d 'spacing.
  • the wings 8a, 8b of the wrapper 3 have inward folds and a particular shape as the perspectives of Figures 10 and 11 clearly show, such that the cross section of the passage thus created decreases in width and height over part of the length of said wrapper in the direction of travel of the strips. It is clear that the wrapper is provided as already explained for partially wrapping the cardboard strips with the strip 2a, by folding the edges of the latter.
  • the angle 7 thus produced is particularly resistant and waterproof depending on the nature of the covering strips 2a, 2b.
  • easy continuous manufacturing is possible with a device according to the invention.
