Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for securing a multilayer stack of hollow glasses or the like in transport, an intermediate base being placed on each layer and at least the top layer being strapped with a stretch film band.
  • the lower layers are loaded by the weight of the respective upper layers, so that a frictional force acts between the bottom and the bottle necks, which contributes to stabilization. This is generally not enough for transport, which is why the lower layers are strapped with a narrow band.
  • the four corner bottles of each layer must be omitted, since the wrapping force of the banderole otherwise only acts on the corner bottles and pushes them inwards.
  • the top layer is also secured with a lid, which has an edge overlapping the bottle necks.
  • the object of the invention is to create a stack of several Secure layers of hollow glass or the like in such a way that the individual layers of the stack are stable even when the corners of each layer are occupied.
  • This object is achieved in that a flat bottom is placed on the top layer, that slots are cut into the corner regions of the band before strapping, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the band, and that the stretched band is brought so far over the position that After relaxing the sleeve, reach through the slots in the corners of the flat bottom.
  • the width of the band should be such that it not only covers the flat bottom with an edge strip, but also the bottle body. Banderoles with a width of 100 to 300 mm have proven to be useful. It is thereby achieved that the rimless flat bottom is given a detachable edge by the wrapping with the band, which is captively connected to the band and holds it in position. The wrapping force on the layer can also be reduced to 0 by choosing an appropriate banderole circumference.
  • the conditions will be such that the band exerts a wrapping force on the cabbage glasses which is so small that the corner bottles do not have to be removed.
  • the corners of each layer can also be filled with hollow glasses or bottles because part of the wrapping force of the sleeve is absorbed by the flat bottom in the corner areas and therefore the corner bottles are only loaded with a reduced wrapping force.
  • This increases the stability of the position with a larger volume significantly improved.
  • all the layers of a stack can be secured in this way.
  • the flat shelves used as intermediate shelves which can be made of cardboard or plastic, can also be reused because they are not damaged when the stack is erected or when the stack is dismantled.
  • a device for carrying out this method is regularly equipped with a frame which can be moved vertically to the stack and which has four displaceable clamping fingers arranged in the corners of a square or rectangle for receiving and tensioning the banderole.
  • the device is characterized in that the clamping fingers have recesses extending from the corners and directed into the interior of the square or rectangle, and that each corner is assigned a separating device with a separating means which can be moved into the recess. Accordingly, a banderole stretched onto the clamping finger can be cut in the corner areas and then brought over the top layer of the stack in such a way that the corners of the flat bottom reach through the incised slots when the clamping fingers are relaxed.
  • the clamping fingers are rod-shaped with a double offset forming the recess, in the manner of a crankshaft.
  • the release agent can be a knife or a heated wire.
  • the separation devices are not arranged on the frame carrying the clamping fingers, they must be in the range of motion of the frame. If the frame can be moved horizontally into the area of a device which places a band around the clamping fingers, the separating devices can be arranged in the area of the end positions of the clamping fingers.
  • a device with which the uppermost layer of a stack can be covered with a cover sheet film as rain protection is characterized in that grippers are arranged on the frame below the ends of the clamping fingers for gripping a cover sheet film and that a holding device is attached to the crossbeams or a component connected thereto - And separation device for the peelable from a roll cover sheet is connected.
  • the end of the cover sheet film held in the holding and separating device is gripped by the grippers when the frame is in a position in which the sleeve is placed around the clamping fingers. If the frame with the stretched banderole is moved over the stack of goods, the cover sheet film is taken along at the same time and cut off from its assigned path when the frame has reached its position above the stack.
  • the cut cover sheet film is first placed on the top of the stack. Then the grippers are released, and when the band is further lowered, it grips the edges of the cover sheet film which it tensions against the sides of the stack when the frame is removed.
  • the Holding and separating device can be arranged in the horizontal plane of movement of the grippers.
  • the winding is arranged in a stationary manner and there is a dancer roller arrangement between the winding and the holding and separating device, which ensures that the film web between the winding and holding and separating device always has sufficient tension. This is particularly important when the holding and separating device and the dancer roller arrangement are attached to cantilever arms connected to the cross members, that is to say the vertical up and down movement or the cantilever arms.
  • the device shown in the drawing is intended to secure a multilayer stack 1 of hollow glasses, in particular bottles 2, for transportation.
  • the device shown includes a portal 3 with traverses 4 that can be moved up and down there.
  • a frame 5 can be moved in the horizontal direction, which has downward-pointing clamping fingers 6 that span a rectangle or square and relative to one another in the direction of the arrows 7 (Fig. 2) are displaceable.
  • a frame 8 which can also be pivoted about a horizontal axis, is arranged below the crossbeams 4 and can be moved up and down with them at the same time, as is shown in FIG. 1 with dashed lines.
  • the frame 8 carries two mutually spaced film wraps 9.
  • the film is a PE stretch film with a width of 100 to 300 mm. The ends of the films unwound from the film coils are guided over deflection rollers 10, 11 and connected to one another at a welding point 12.
  • the frame 5 moves from the functional position shown in FIG. 2 to the functional position shown in FIG. 3, the clamping fingers 6 gripping the ends of the foils connected to one another and between the deflection rollers 10, 11 to the area between the film rolls 9. Then, with separating welding devices 13, which are arranged on pivotable arms 14, the film band wrapped around the clamping fingers 6 is closed to form a band 15, the band being separated from the film band at the same time and the two ends of which are combined via a new welding point 12.
  • the clamping fingers 6 on the frame 5 are designed in a special way.
  • the shape of this clamping finger 6 is shown in Fig. 5.
  • the clamping fingers 6 are rod-shaped and have a recess 16 which is formed by a double offset.
  • pivotable knives 17 are arranged on the frame 8 in the region of the end positions of the tensioning fingers 6, when they have received the banderole 15, which engage in the recesses 6 of the tensioning fingers 6 during pivoting and thereby in the corner regions the banderole received by the clamping fingers 6 Cut slots 18.
  • the banderole 15 has not already been tensioned before the slots are cut by moving the tension fingers 6 apart, it is now tensioned. Then the frame 8 with the components arranged thereon is pivoted, as shown in broken lines in FIG. 1, and the frame with the banderole 15 spanned by the clamping fingers 6 is moved over the stack of goods 1 (FIG. 6). Then the traverses 4 with the frame 5 are lowered until the stretched band 15 is in the area of the topmost layer of the stack 1 and the slots 18 cut into the band are level with a flat bottom 19 placed on the top layer of the stack 1 Cardboard or plastic.
  • a gripper 21 is arranged on the frame 5 on the side facing away from the portal 3, the gripping tool of which extends below the ends of the clamping fingers 6.
  • a film roll 22 is mounted, the Film web 23 is guided over a dancer roll arrangement 24 to a holding and separating device 25.
  • the dancer roller arrangement 24 and the holding and separating device 25 are fastened to cantilever arms which are connected to the cross members 4 and can be moved up and down vertically on the portal 3.
  • the holding and separating device 25 is arranged in the horizontal plane of movement of the grippers 21.
  • the frame is moved into the functional position shown in FIG. 1.
  • a banderole 15 made of stretch film is placed around the clamping fingers 6.
  • the gripper 21 grips the end of the film web 23 released by the holding and separating device 25.
  • the frame 5 is then moved horizontally into the functional position shown in FIG. 2, in which the stretched banderole 15 is located above the uppermost layer of the stack 1.
  • the gripper 21 has also taken the film web 23, the last section of which, serving as a cover sheet film 27, is now located between the banderole 15 and the top of the stack 1.
  • the cover sheet 27 is separated from the sheet 23 and the gripper 21 releases the end of the cover sheet 27.
  • the crossbeams 4 with the frame 5 and the stretched banderole 15 are moved vertically downward over the uppermost layer of the stack 1.
  • the stretched banderole 15 detects the free edges of the cover sheet 27 and places it against the sides of the stack 1 (FIG. 3). After the frame 5 with the clamping fingers 6 in the vertical direction has been moved upwards, the band 15 tensions the free edges of the cover sheet film 27 against the sides of the stack 1.
