Description

Die Erfindung liegt auf dem Gebiete der Weiterverarbeitung von Druckprodukten und betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung gemäss den Oberbegriffen der entsprechenden Patentansprüche zur Herstellung von rohrförmigen Paketen, die aufgewickelte, biegbare flächige Gegenstände, insbesondere eine aufgewickelte Schuppenformation von Druckprodukten, enthalten und mit einem Schutz/Halte-Element umhüllt sind. Die Erfindung bezieht sich ferner auf ein nach dem genannten Verfahren hergestelltes Paket gemäss dem Oberbegriff des entsprechenden, unabhängigen Patentanspruchs.The invention is in the field of further processing of printed products and relates to a method and a device according to the preambles of the corresponding claims for the production of tubular packages which contain wound, bendable flat objects, in particular a wound scale formation of printed products, and with a protection / hold - Element are wrapped. The invention further relates to a package produced by the aforementioned method according to the preamble of the corresponding independent claim.

Gemäss dem Stande der Technik werden biegsame, flächige Gegenstände, insbesondere Druckprodukte für den Transport zu rohrförmigen Paketen aufgewickelt. Im gleichen Wickelvorgang werden die Pakete üblicherweise mit einem Schutz/Halte-Element in Form eines Papierbogens oder eines Stücks Kunststoffolie umwickelt. Vorteilhafterweise werden derartige Pakete nicht im eigentlichen Sinne geöffnet, sondern die Druckprodukte werden einzeln durch Eingreifen in den Hohlraum des Paketes aus diesem entnommen. Dabei muss das Schutz/Halte-Element nicht zerstört und die Schuppenformation nicht zu einem Stapel zusammengeschoben werden. Abgesehen von der Zeit und dem Aufwand, die durch das Entnehmen aus dem Inneren des Paketes erspart werden, sind die Produkte dadurch auch länger durch das Schutz/Halte-Element gegen äussere Einflüsse wie Nässe und Schmutz geschützt.According to the prior art, flexible, flat objects, in particular printed products, are wound into tubular packages for transport. In the same winding process, the packages are usually wrapped with a protective / holding element in the form of a sheet of paper or a piece of plastic film. Advantageously, such packages are not actually opened, but rather the printed products are removed from the package individually by engaging in the cavity. The protection / holding element does not have to be destroyed and the scale formation does not have to be pushed together into a stack. Except for the time and that The products that are saved by removing them from the inside of the package are also protected for longer by the protection / holding element against external influences such as moisture and dirt.

Verfahren und Vorrichtungen zur Herstellung derartiger Pakete sind beispielsweise beschrieben in der europäischen Patentschrift Nr. 243906 und in der europäischen Patentanmeldung mit der Veröffentlichungsnummer 474999 derselben Anmelderin.Methods and devices for producing such packages are described, for example, in European Patent No. 243906 and in European Patent Application No. 474999 by the same applicant.

Soll das Paket nun neben den als Schuppenformation darin enthaltenen Druckprodukten zusätzlich Information enthalten, die das ganze Paket oder die darin enthaltenen Druckprodukte betrifft, kann diese einfach auf dem Schutz/Halte-Element aufgedruckt oder, wenn dieses durchsichtig ist, unmittelbar darunter eingewickelt werden. Dies ist zwar vom Herstellungsverfahren her einfach verwirklichbar, birgt aber den Nachteil in sich, dass der Träger der zusätzlichen Information erst vom Paket getrennt werden kann, wenn das letzte Druckprodukt daraus entfernt worden ist. Handelt es sich bei dem Träger der zusätzlichen Information beispielsweise um einen Kioskaushang, ist dies natürlich nicht akzeptabel, da ein solcher ausgehängt werden muss, bevor die Druckprodukte zum Verkauf angeboten werden.If, in addition to the printed products contained as a scale formation, the package is to contain additional information relating to the entire package or the printed products contained therein, this can simply be printed on the protective / holding element or, if this is transparent, can be wrapped immediately below it. Although this is easy to implement from the manufacturing process, it has the disadvantage that the carrier of the additional information can only be separated from the package when the last printed product has been removed from it. If the carrier of the additional information is, for example, a kiosk notice, this is of course not acceptable, since one must be posted before the printed products are offered for sale.

Es ist deshalb die Aufgabe der Erfindung, Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von rohrförmigen Paketen aus Druckprodukten, die von einem Schutz/Halte-Element umhüllt sind, derart zu erweitern, dass die Pakete ein Beipackprodukt derart enthalten, dass dieses beim Entnehmen aus dem Inneren des Paketes vor den Druckprodukten der Schuppenformation entnommen werden kann. Das Beipackprodukt soll dabei aus einem oder mehreren biegbaren, flächigen Gegenständen, insbesondere Druckprodukten, bestehen, die einseitig, mehrseitig, gefaltet, geheftet etc. sein können. Das Verfahren und die Vorrichtung sollen derart sein, dass das Format des Beipackproduktes möglichst frei wählbar ist. Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens soll einfach sein und sich von entsprechenden Vorrichtungen gemäss dem Stande der Technik möglichst nur durch eine zusätzliche Teilvorrichtung unterscheiden.It is therefore the object of the invention to expand the method and device for producing tubular packages from printed products which are encased by a protection / holding element in such a way that the packages contain an enclosed product in such a way that when it is removed from the inside of the Package can be removed before the printed products of the scale formation. The accessory pack should consist of one or more bendable, flat objects, in particular printed products, which can be one-sided, multi-sided, folded, stapled, etc. The procedure and the device should be such that the format of the accessory product can be chosen as freely as possible. The device for carrying out the method should be simple and should differ from corresponding devices according to the prior art if possible only by an additional sub-device.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch Verfahren und Vorrichtung gemäss den entsprechenden, unabhängigen Patentansprüchen.This object is achieved by the method and device according to the corresponding, independent patent claims.

Das erfinderische Verfahren besteht im wesentlichen darin, dass vor dem Aufwickeln der Schuppenformation und zwar im Bereiche ihres im Wickelvorgang vorlaufenden Endes und auf ihrer dem Wickeldorn zugewandten Seite ein Beipackprodukt zugeordnet wird. Dieses Beipackprodukt ist relativ zur Schuppenformation derart positioniert, dass es wenigstens im Bereiche seiner vorlaufenden Kante direkt auf den Wickeldorn gewickelt wird, derart, dass mindestens seine im Wickelvorgang vorlaufende Kante im fertigen Paket an der Hohlraum-Innenfläche liegt und dort zum Entnehmen des Beipackproduktes ergriffen werden kann.The inventive method consists essentially in the fact that before the winding of the scale formation is wound up, specifically in the region of its end leading in the winding process and on its side facing the winding mandrel, an accessory pack is assigned. This accessory pack product is positioned relative to the scale formation in such a way that it is wound directly onto the winding mandrel at least in the area of its leading edge, in such a way that at least its edge leading in the wrapping process lies on the inner surface of the cavity in the finished package and is gripped there for removing the accessory pack product can.

Im folgenden soll nun das erfindungsgemasse, rohrförmige Paket mit Schutz/Halte-Element und Beipackprodukt beschrieben werden sowie das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren und die entsprechende Vorrichtung. Der Beschreibung dienen die folgenden Figuren, wobei

shows.

Figur 1 zeigt ein erfindungsgemässes, rohrförmiges Paket P bestehend aus einer aufgewickelten Schuppenformation 1, die deutlich an den Stirnseiten des Paketes zu sehen ist, und einem Beipackprodukt 2, das eben aus dem Paket entnommen wird (Pfeil). Das Paket ist umhüllt von einem Schutz/Halte-Element 3, das sich nur über die Mantelfläche des Paketes oder auch über seine Stirnflächen erstreckt. Das Paket besitzt einen inneren Hohlraum und eine innere Oberfläche um diesen Hohlraum. Zum Entnehmen der Produkte aus dem Paket greift man leicht in den Hohlraum und ergreift Produktekanten oder -ecken, die an dieser inneren Oberfläche liegen. Damit das Beipackprodukt mühelos und einfach als erstes Produkt entnommen werden kann, ist es notwendig, dass mindestens ein Teil davon (mit Kante) mindestens einen Teil der inneren Oberfläche des Paketes bildet und dort erfasst werden kann. Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Beipackprodukt in keiner Weise zwischen Produkten der Schuppenformation eingewickelt ist. Diese Bedingungen bestimmen die relativen Positionen von Schuppenformation und Beipackprodukt beim Wickelvorgang. FIG. 1 shows a tubular package P according to the invention, consisting of a wound scale formation 1, which can be clearly seen on the end faces of the package, and an accessory product 2, which is just being removed from the package (arrow). The package is covered by a protection / holding element 3, which extends only over the outer surface of the package or over its end faces. The package has an inner cavity and an inner surface around this cavity. To remove the products from the package, one easily reaches into the cavity and grips product edges or corners that lie on this inner surface. So that the accessory product can be removed easily and easily as the first product, it is necessary that at least a part of it (with edge) forms at least part of the inner surface of the package and can be grasped there. It is also advantageous if the accessory product is in no way wrapped between products of the scale formation. These conditions determine the relative positions of the scale formation and the by-product during the wrapping process.

Figur 2 zeigt eben diese relativen Positionen von Schuppenformation 1, Beipackprodukt 2 und Schutz/Halte-Element 3 unmittelbar vor dem Wickelvorgang. Je nach Länge der Schuppenformation kann die Darstellung einem reellen Zustand entsprechen, bei einer langen Schuppenformation wird aber das vorlaufende Ende der Schuppenformation bereits aufgewickelt sein, wenn dem Paket das Schutz/Halte-Element zugeordnet wird. Der Pfeil W gibt die Transportrichtung gegen die Wickelvorrichtung und die Richtung an, in der die Schuppenformation um einen Wickeldorn gewickelt werden soll. FIG. 2 shows these relative positions of scale formation 1, accessory product 2 and protection / holding element 3 immediately before the winding process. Depending on the length of the scale formation, the representation can correspond to a real state, but in the case of a long scale formation, the leading end of the scale formation will already be wound up when the protection / holding element is assigned to the package. The arrow W indicates the transport direction against the winding device and the direction in which the scale formation is to be wound around a winding mandrel.

Das Beipackprodukt 2 wird der Schuppenformation 1 auf der im Wickel konkaven, im Wickelvorgang dem Wickeldorn zugewandten Seite 11 zugeordnet, wahrend das Schutz/Halte-Element 3 auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite, also der im Wickel konvexen Seite 12 zugeordnet wird. Damit die im Wickelvorgang vorlaufende Kante 21 des Beipackproduktes auf den Wickeldorn zu liegen kommt, darf sie nicht um mehr als den Umfang d des Wickeldornes in Transportrichtung hinter der vorlaufenden Kante 13 der Schuppenformation 1 herlaufen. Das heisst, sie kann entweder vor der Kante 13 positioniert werden, wie dies in der Figur 2 dargestellt ist, oder an der gleichen Stelle wie die Kante 13 oder hinter der Kante 13, aber nicht um mehr als um einen Abstand d, der dem Wickeldornumfang entspricht. In der Figur bedeutet das, dass die Kante 21 rechts von der Linie 14 liegen muss.The accessory product 2 is assigned to the scale formation 1 on the side 11 concave in the winding and facing the winding mandrel in the winding process, while the protection / holding element 3 is assigned on the opposite side, that is to say the side 12 convex in the winding. So that the leading edge 21 of the accessory product in the winding process comes to rest on the mandrel, it must not run more than the circumference d of the mandrel in the transport direction behind the leading edge 13 of the scale formation 1. This means that it can be positioned either in front of the edge 13, as shown in FIG. 2, or in the same place as the edge 13 or behind the edge 13, but not by more than a distance d that corresponds to the circumference of the mandrel corresponds. In the figure, this means that the edge 21 must be to the right of the line 14.

Damit das Beipackprodukt 2 nicht zwischen Druckprodukten der Schuppenformation 1 eingewickelt wird, darf auch seine im Wickelvorgang nachlaufende Kante nicht mehr als um den Wickeldornumfang d hinter der Kante 13 herlaufen.So that the accessory product 2 is not wrapped between printed products of the scale formation 1, its edge trailing in the winding process must not run behind the edge 13 more than the circumference of the mandrel d.

Die Länge in Transportrichtung des Beipackproduktes 2 ist insofern keiner Bedingung unterworfen, als seine vorlaufende Kante 21 beliebig vor der vorlaufenden Kante 13 der Schuppenformation 1 laufen kann. Da aber ein sehr stark vorlaufendes, Beipackprodukt die Wickelzeit stark verlängert, ist es sinnvoll, das Beipackprodukt nicht zu lang zu wählen oder entsprechend zu falten.The length in the transport direction of the accessory product 2 is not subject to any condition insofar as its leading edge 21 can run in front of the leading edge 13 of the scale formation 1 as desired. However, since a very strong prepackaged packaged product greatly extends the winding time, it makes sense not to choose the packaged product too long or to fold it accordingly.

Damit das Beipackprodukt auch ohne Augenschein aus dem Paket entnommen werden kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn ausser einer oder mehreren Kanten des Beipackproduktes keine Produktekanten an der inneren Oberfläche des Paketes liegen. Damit dies der Fall ist, muss das Beipackprodukt länger sein als der Umfang d des Wickeldornes und, wie in der Figur 2 dargestellt, als ganzes rechts der Linie 14 positioniert werden.In order that the package product can be removed from the package without being inspected, it is advantageous if, apart from one or more edges of the package product, no product edges on the inner surface of the Package lie. In order for this to be the case, the accessory pack must be longer than the circumference d of the winding mandrel and, as shown in FIG. 2, be positioned on the far right of line 14.

Die Breite des Beipackproduktes quer zur Transport- und Wickelrichtung ist vorteilhafterweise gleich oder kleiner als die Breite der Produkte der Schuppenformation. Nur so steht das Beipackprodukt nicht aus dem Paket heraus und ist entsprechend genügend geschützt. Ist das Beipackprodukt schmaler als die Druckprodukte der Schuppenformation, kann es im Paket mittig oder gegen eine Stirnfläche verschoben oder an einer Stirnfläche anliegend positioniert werden.The width of the package product transverse to the transport and winding direction is advantageously equal to or less than the width of the products of the scale formation. This is the only way to ensure that the accessory pack does not stand out from the package and is adequately protected. If the accessory pack is narrower than the printed products of the scale formation, it can be moved in the center of the pack or against an end face or positioned adjacent to one end face.

Figur 3 zeigt in einer sehr schematischen Darstellung eine beispielhafte Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Vorrichtung, die bis auf eine Teilvorrichtung 30 zum gesteuerten Zuführen der Beipackprodukte 2 einer Vorrichtung gemäss der bereits genannten Veröffentlichungen derselben Anmelderin entspricht, die hier als bekannt vorausgesetzt werden. Die Vorrichtung weist ein Transportmittel 31 zur Zuführung der Schuppenformation und eine Wickelvorrichtung auf, von der in der Figur 3 nur der Wickeldorn 32 dargestellt ist. Sie weist ferner beispielsweise eine Vorratsrolle 33 für das Material der Schutz/Halte-Elemente auf und eine entsprechende Förder- und Abtrennvorrichtung (nicht dargestellt). Die Teilvorrichtung 30 zur gesteuerten Zuführung von Beipackprodukten 2 ist vorteilhafterweise auf derselben Seite der zugeführten Schuppenformation 1 wie der Wickeldorn 32 angeordnet. Es kann sich dabei um einen steuerbaren Anleger oder Schuppenpuffer oder etwas ähnliches handeln. Derartige Vorrichtungen entsprechen dem Stande der Technik und müssen hier nicht im Detail beschrieben werden. Die Teilvorrichtung 30 für die Zuführung der Beipackprodukte 2 wird derart mit der Zuführung der Schuppenformation 1 koordiniert, dass jeder für ein Paket bestimmten Schuppenformation ein Beipackprodukt 2 mit der gewünschten Position der vorlaufenden Kante 21 zugeordnet wird. FIG. 3 shows a very schematic illustration of an exemplary embodiment of the device for carrying out the method according to the invention. It is a device which, apart from a sub-device 30 for the controlled feeding of the accessories 2, corresponds to a device according to the publications by the same applicant, which are assumed to be known here. The device has a transport means 31 for feeding the scale formation and a winding device, of which only the winding mandrel 32 is shown in FIG. It also has, for example, a supply roll 33 for the material of the protective / holding elements and a corresponding conveying and separating device (not shown). The sub-device 30 for the controlled feeding of by-products 2 is advantageously arranged on the same side of the supplied scale formation 1 as the winding mandrel 32. It can be a controllable feeder or a scale buffer or something similar. Such devices correspond to the prior art and need not be described in detail here. The sub-device 30 for supplying the accessory products 2 is coordinated with the supply of the scale formation 1 in such a way that each scale formation intended for one package an accessory product 2 is assigned to the desired position of the leading edge 21.
