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 wenigstens einen aufgewickelten, biegbaren flächigen Gegenstand, 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 at least one wound, flexible flat object, in particular a wound scale formation of printed products, and with a protection / Holding element are encased. 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. Das Schutz/Halte-Element wird dabei derart dimensioniert, dass es auf dem Paket zwei sich überlappende Bereiche aufweist, dass also ein Bereich davon mit einer parallel zur Paketachse liegenden, äusseren Kante auf einem anderen Bereich davon mit einer zur Paketachse parallel allel liegenden inneren Kante aufliegt. Der äussere Bereich mit der äusseren Kante liegt dabei mit seiner gegen innen gewandten Oberflache auf der gegen aussen gewandten Oberfläche des inneren Bereiches mit der inneren Kante. Diese beiden, sich überlappenden Bereiche haften aneinander, beispielsweise durch Klebstoff, durch Verschweissung oder bei der Verwendung von Haftfolien als Schutz/Halte-Element einfach durch entsprechende Eigenschaften der Oberflächen.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. The protection / holding element is dimensioned such that it has two overlapping regions on the package, that is to say one region thereof with an outer edge lying parallel to the package axis and another region thereof with one parallel to the package axis allel lying inner edge. The outer area with the outer edge lies with its surface facing inwards on the surface of the inner area with the inner edge facing outwards. These two, overlapping areas adhere to one another, for example by adhesive, by welding or when using adhesive films as a protective / holding element, simply by corresponding properties of the surfaces.

Verfahren und Vorrichtungen zur Herstellung derartiger Pakete sind beispielsweise beschrieben in der europäischen Patentschrift Nr. 243906, in der europäischen Patentanmeldung mit der Veröffentlichungsnummer 474999 oder in der Publikation GB-2126188. Nach diesen Verfahren können insbesondere Pakete mit variablen Durchmessern erstellt werden, wobei das Schutz/Halte-Element eine ebenfalls variable Länge aufweist, derart, dass der Überlappungsbereich unabhängig vom Paketdurchmesser immer gleich ist.Methods and devices for producing such packages are described, for example, in European Patent No. 243906, in European Patent Application No. 474999 or in GB-2126188. According to these methods, packages with variable diameters can be created, the protection / holding element also having a variable length, such that the overlap area is always the same regardless of the package diameter.

Zum Öffnen derartiger Pakete muss das Schutz/Halte-Element aufgerissen und entfernt werden. Dafür kann beispielsweise die äussere parallel zur Paketachse liegende Kante oder eine Ecke des Schutz/Halte-Elements erfasst und durch Reissen daran die Haftung zwischen den beiden, sich überlappenden Bereichen getrennt werden. Dies ist nicht immer einfach, da die Kante oft nicht gut sichtbar und auch nicht gut ergreifbar ist, insbesondere wenn das Schutz/Halte-Element aus einer durchsichtigen Haftfolie besteht. Aus diesem Grunde wird der Verbraucher oft zu einem spitzen Gegenstand greifen und mit diesem das Paket öffnen, was leicht zu Verletzungen der im Paket aussen liegenden Druckprodukte führen kann, was natürlich unbedingt vermieden werden sollte.To open such packages, the protection / holding element has to be torn open and removed. For this purpose, for example, the outer edge lying parallel to the parcel axis or a corner of the protective / holding element can be grasped and the adhesion between the two overlapping areas can be separated by tearing it. This is not always easy, since the edge is often not clearly visible and also not easy to grasp, especially if the protective / holding element consists of a transparent adhesive film. For this reason, the consumer will often pick up a pointed object and use it to open the package, which can easily lead to injuries to the printed products located in the package, which of course should definitely be avoided.

Es sind auch verschiedene Verpackungsmethoden bekannt, mit denen gleichzeitig mit dem Verpackungsvorgang Öffnungshilfen erstellt werden, die beispielsweise die Form eines Aufteisstreifens haben. Eine derartige Methode ist beispielsweise beschrieben in der Publikation FR-A-2 404 564, nach der Verpackungen aus Schrumpffolie erstellt werden, in die ein Aufreissstreifen integriert ist.Various packaging methods are also known, with which opening aids are created at the same time as the packaging process, for example in the form of an ice cream strip. Such a method is described, for example, in publication FR-A-2 404 564, according to which packaging made of shrink film is created, in which a tear strip is integrated.

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 verbessern, dass das Aufreissen des Schutz/Halte-Elements zum Öffnen des Paketes einfacher und leichter wird. Insbesondere soll das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren dann vorteilhaft anwendbar sein, wenn jedes Schutz/Halte-Element beispielsweise von einer Vorratsrolle abgetrennt wird, eine je nach zu umhüllendem Paket variable Länge hat und aus einer durchsichtigen Haftfolie besteht.It is therefore the object of the invention to improve the method and device for producing tubular packages from printed products which are enveloped by a protection / holding element in such a way that the tearing open of the protection / holding element for opening the package is easier and easier becomes. In particular, the method according to the invention should be advantageously applicable if each protection / holding element is separated, for example, from a supply roll, has a variable length depending on the package to be wrapped and consists of a transparent adhesive film.

Es ist auch die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens zu schaffen. Diese Vorrichtung soll einfach sein und sich von entsprechenden Vorrichtungen gemäss dem Stande der Technik möglichst nur durch eine zusätzliche Teilvorrichtung unterscheiden.It is also the object of the invention to create a device for carrying out the method. This device should be simple and 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.

Gemäss dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren wird die parallel zur Paketachse liegende äussere Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elements, also die im Wickelvorgang nachlaufende Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elements unmittelbar vor dem Aufwickeln oder beim Aufwickeln gut sichtbar markiert, derart, dass sie am fertigen Paket von der Person, die das Paket öffnen soll, sofort und möglichst eindeutig erkannt wird. Dies geschieht durch eine entsprechende, kantenmarkierende Beschichtung des Schutz/Halte-Elementes im Bereiche der im Wickelvorgang nachlaufenden Kante, unmittelbar bevor der diese Kante tragende Bereich des Schutz/Halte-Elementes aufgewickelt wird, oder durch Einwickeln eines speziellen Markierungselements mit dem entsprechenden Bereich des Schutz/Halte-Elements. Dabei kann der beschichtete Bereich oder insbesondere das Markierungselement gleichzeitig derart ausgestaltet sein, dass man zum Öffnen des Paketes daran angreifen kann. Gleichzeitig kann der beschichtete Bereich oder das Markierungselement Informationen tragen, die beispielsweise das Paket betreffen.According to the method according to the invention, the outer edge of the protection / holding element lying parallel to the package axis, that is to say the edge of the protection / holding element trailing in the winding process, is marked in a clearly visible manner immediately before winding up or during winding up, in such a way that it is on the finished package of the person who is to open the package is recognized immediately and as clearly as possible. This is done by a corresponding, edge-marking coating of the protection / holding element in the area of the trailing edge in the winding process, immediately before the area of the protection / holding element bearing this edge is wound up, or by wrapping a special marking element with the corresponding area of the protection / Holding element. The coated area or in particular the marking element can be configured at the same time in such a way that you can attack it to open the package. At the same time, the coated area or the marking element can carry information relating, for example, to the package.

Wird die parallel zur Paketachse liegende äussere Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elementes durch ein Markierungselement markiert, wird dieses Markierungselement vorteilhafterweise derart zwischen den beiden, sich überlappenden Bereichen des Schutz/Halte-Elementes angeordnet, dass die Verbindung zwischen diesen beiden Bereichen an der Stelle des Markierungselements unterbrochen ist. Dadurch ergibt sich eine Stelle an der diese äussere Kante direkt oder indirekt ergriffen werden kann, und von der aus dann beispielsweise die Verbindung zwischen den beiden, sich überlappenden Bereichen des Schutz/Halte-Elementes aufgerissen werden kann. Je nach Ausgestaltung und Material des Schutz/Halte-Elementes kann durch Reissen am Markierungselement oder an der äusseren Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elements auch das Schutz/Halte-Element selbst zerrissen werden. Je nach Material und Stärke des Schutz/Halte-Elements kann dazu eine Sollreissstelle in diesem vorgesehen sein.If the outer edge of the protection / holding element lying parallel to the package axis is marked by a marking element, this marking element is advantageously arranged between the two overlapping regions of the protection / holding element in such a way that the connection between these two regions is located at the point of the Marker element is interrupted. This results in a point at which this outer edge can be gripped directly or indirectly, and from which the connection between the two overlapping regions of the protection / holding element can then be torn open, for example. Depending on the design and material of the protective / holding element, the protective / holding element itself can also be torn by tearing on the marking element or on the outer edge of the protective / holding element. Depending on the material and thickness of the protection / holding element, a predetermined tear point can be provided in this.

Das Markierungselement ist vorteilhafterweise ein sich durch seine Farbe entsprechend abhebender Aufreissstreifen, der koordiniert mit dem Aufwickeln des Schutz/Halte-Elements ebenfalls auf das Paket aufgewickelt wird.The marking element is advantageously a tear strip that contrasts with its color and is also wound onto the package in a coordinated manner with the winding up of the protective / holding element.

Wird die parallel zur Paketachse liegende äussere Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elements mit einer kantenmarkierenden Beschichtung dieses Elements realisiert, kann diese Beschichtung bei durchsichtigem Material auf der dem Paket zugewandten Oberfläche des Schutz/Halte-Elements aufgebracht werden. Eine derartige Beschichtung liegt dann am fertigen Paket zwischen den beiden Überlappungsbereichen des Schutz/Halte-Elements und kann wie ein Aufreissstreifen die Verbindung der beiden Überlappungsbereiche unterbrechen und derart eine Angriffsstelle an der Kante erzeugen. Besteht das Schutz/Halte-Element aus einem undurchsichtigen Material, ist die Beschichtung auf der am Paket gegen aussen gerichteten Oberfläche anzubringen. Es kann dann, wie noch zu zeigen ist, auf andere Art dafür gesorgt werden, dass die Kante auch leicht ergreifbar ist.If the outer edge of the protective / holding element lying parallel to the package axis is realized with an edge-marking coating of this element, this coating can be applied to the surface of the protective / holding element facing the package with transparent material. Such a coating then lies on the finished package between the two overlapping areas of the protection / holding element and can be like a Tear strips interrupt the connection of the two overlapping areas and thus create a point of attack on the edge. If the protection / holding element consists of an opaque material, the coating must be applied to the surface of the package facing outwards. As can still be shown, it can then be ensured in a different way that the edge is also easy to grasp.

Für beide Fälle ist ein Verfahren möglich, bei dem auch bei einem variierenden Paketdurchmesser und bei einer auf diesen Durchmesser abgestimmten Länge des Schutz/Halte-Elements dieses von einer Vorratsrolle eines entsprechenden Materials geliefert wird.In both cases, a method is possible in which, even with a varying package diameter and with a length of the protective / holding element that is matched to this diameter, the protective / holding element is supplied from a supply roll of a corresponding material.

Wie in der folgenden Beschreibung noch detailliert werden soll, kann für die Aufreissfunktion auch ein Element oder eine entsprechende Beschichtung des Schutz/Halte-Elements zur Anwendung kommen, die sich über die ganze Länge des Schutz/Halte-Elements erstreckt und die deshalb vorgängig mit dem Material für die Schutz/Halte-Elemente aufgewickelt bzw. auf diesem aufgebracht werden kann. Derartige Elemente oder Beschichtungen können aber nur beschränkt der Markierung der äusseren Kante dienen.As will be explained in more detail in the following description, an element or a corresponding coating of the protection / holding element can also be used for the tear-open function, which extends over the entire length of the protection / holding element and which is therefore used in advance with the Material for the protection / holding elements can be wound or applied to this. Such elements or coatings can only serve to a limited extent for marking the outer edge.

Im folgenden sollen nun verschiedene Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemässen, rohrförmigen Paketes mit Schutz/Halte-Element und Markierung der parallel zur Paketachse liegenden, äusseren Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elements beschrieben werden sowie einige, beispielhafte Verfahrensvarianten zur Herstellung derartiger Pakete und beispielhafte Ausführungsformen einer entsprechenden Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.

In the following, various embodiments of the tubular package according to the invention with a protection / holding element and marking of the outer edge of the protection / holding element lying parallel to the package axis will be described, as well as some exemplary method variants for producing such packages and exemplary embodiments of a corresponding device to carry out the procedure. The following figures serve for the description and show the following:

Figur 1 zeigt ein beispielhaftes erfindungsgemässes Paket P mit einem Schutz/Halte-Element 10, das vorteilhafterweise etwas breiter ist als die Breite der aufgewickelten Druckprodukte und um mindestens einen Überlappungsbereich 11 länger als der Umfang des Paketes. Über die Länge des Überlappungsbereiches liegt ein äusserer Bereich des Schutz/Halte-Elementes mit seiner am Paket gegen innen gewandten Oberfläche auf der gegen aussen gewandten Oberfläche eines inneren Bereichs. Durch die Eigenschaften des Materials des Schutz/Halte-Elementes (bspw. Haftfolie) oder durch Aufbringen von Haftmitteln (bspw. Klebstoff) auf einen dieser Oberflächenbereiche werden die beiden Bereiche wenigstens teilweise miteinander verbunden. Zwischen den beiden miteinander verbundenen Oberflächenbereichen ist ein Markierungselement 20 in Form eines Aufreissstreifens angeordnet, das die Verbindung zwischen den beiden sich überlappenden Oberflächenbereichen unterbricht. FIG. 1 shows an exemplary package P according to the invention with a protection / holding element 10, which is advantageously somewhat wider than the width of the wound printed products and at least one overlap area 11 longer than the circumference of the package. Over the length of the overlap area, an outer area of the protection / holding element lies with its surface facing towards the inside of the package on the surface of an inner area facing towards the outside. The properties of the material of the protective / holding element (for example adhesive film) or for applying adhesives (for example adhesive) to one of these surface areas at least partially connect the two areas. A marking element 20 in the form of a tear strip is arranged between the two surface areas which are connected to one another and interrupts the connection between the two overlapping surface areas.

Das Markierungselement 20 überragt die parallel zur Paketachse liegende, äussere Kante 12 des Schutz/Halte-Elements 10, wobei der überstehende Teil als Angriffstelle dient. Die Länge des Aufreissstreifens (Markierungselement) ist vorteilhafterweise mindestens derart, dass er sich wenigstens über den ganzen Überlappungsbereich erstreckt. Die Breite des Aufreissstreifens ist variabel.The marking element 20 projects beyond the outer edge 12 of the protection / holding element 10 lying parallel to the parcel axis, the protruding part serving as a point of attack. The length of the tear strip (marking element) is advantageously at least such that it extends at least over the entire overlap area. The width of the tear strip is variable.

Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, ein Paket herzustellen, das über die Breite der aufgewickelten Druckprodukte verteilt mehrere Aufreissstreifen aufweist.Of course, it is also possible to produce a package that has several tear strips distributed over the width of the wound printed products.

Figuren 2 bis 7 zeigen nun verschiedene, beispielhafte Ausführungsformen von Schutz/Halte-Elementen 10 mit verschiedenen angepassten Kantenmarkierungen in Form von Markierungselementen 20 oder entsprechenden, kantenmarkierenden Beschichtungen 30, für die, wie aus der Beschreibung der Figuren ersichtlich sein wird, grossenteils dieselben Bedingungen gelten. Die Darstellungen zeigen die Schutz/Halte-Elemente in einem ausgestreckten, nicht auf einem Paket aufgewickelten Zustand, wobei die im Paket nach innen gewandte Oberfläche dem Betrachter zugewandt ist und die separaten Markierungselemente sowie natürlich auch die Beschichtungen in derjenigen Position relativ zum Schutz/Halte-Element 10 dargestellt sind, die sie auch auf dem Paket einnehmen. Auf dem Schutz/Halte-Element sind mit gestrichelten Linien die beiden, sich überlappenden Bereiche 11.1 (äusserer Bereich, mit parallel zur Paketachse liegender, äusserer Kante 12) und 11.2 (innerer Bereich mit parallel zur Paketachse liegender, innerer Kante 14) angedeutet, zwischen denen sich eine Länge erstreckt, die gleich dem Umfang des Paketes minus der Länge des Überlappungsbereiches 11 ist. Alle dargestellten Schutz/Halte-Elemente haben eine Länge, die um die Länge des Überlappungsbereiches grösser ist als der Umfang des Paketes. Selbstverständlich kann das Schutz/Halte-Element auch länger sein. FIGS. 2 to 7 now show various exemplary embodiments of protection / holding elements 10 with different adapted edge markings in the form of marking elements 20 or corresponding edge-marking coatings 30, for which, as will be apparent from the description of the figures, the same conditions apply for the most part . The illustrations show the protection / holding elements in an extended state, not wound on a package, the surface facing inwards in the package facing the viewer and the separate marking elements and of course also the coatings in that position relative to the protection / holding. Element 10 are shown, which they also take on the package. The two overlapping areas 11.1 (outer area with outer edge 12 lying parallel to the parcel axis) and 11.2 (inner area with inner edge 14 parallel to the parcel axis) are indicated by dashed lines on the protection / holding element between which extends a length that is equal to the circumference of the package minus the length of the overlap area 11. All protection / holding elements shown have a length that is greater than the circumference of the package by the length of the overlap area. Of course, the protection / holding element can also be longer.

Figur 2 zeigt die beispielhafte Ausführungsform von Schutz/Halte-Element 10 und Markierungselement 20 in Form eines Aufreissstreifens, die auch in der Figur 1 dargestellt ist. Der Aufreissstreifen überragt die äussere Kante 12 des Schutz/Halte-Elementes. Die Länge des Aufreissstreifens ist wie bereits erwähnt vorteilhafterweise mindestens derart, dass er über den gesamten Überlappungsbereich reicht. Die Figur zeigt zwei Längen von Aufreissstreifen, einen ausgezogenen kurzen, im wesentlichen nur den Überlappungsbereich überspannenden Aufreissstreifen 20' und einen strichpunktierten längeren Aufreissstreifen 20'', der beinahe um den ganzen Umfang des Paketes reicht. FIG. 2 shows the exemplary embodiment of protection / holding element 10 and marking element 20 in the form of a tear strip, which is also shown in FIG. 1. The tear strip projects beyond the outer edge 12 of the protective / holding element. As already mentioned, the length of the tear strip is advantageously at least such that it extends over the entire overlap area. The figure shows two lengths of tear strips, an extended short tear strip 20 ', which essentially spans only the overlap area, and a dash-dotted longer tear strip 20'', which extends almost around the entire circumference of the package.

Die vorteilhafte oder notwendige Länge eines derartigen Aufreissstreifens ist einerseits abhängig von der Haftung zwischen den Oberflächen des Schutz/Halte-Elements und dem Aufreissstreifen. Je stärker diese Haftung ist, desto kürzer kann der Aufreissstreifen sein, ohne dass er beim Aufreissen zwischen den Überlappungsbereichen des Schutz/Halte-Elementes herausgezogen wird.The advantageous or necessary length of such a tear strip depends on the one hand on the adhesion between the surfaces of the protective / holding element and the tear strip. The stronger this adhesion, the shorter the tear strip can be without it being pulled out between the overlapping areas of the protective / holding element when it is torn open.

Besteht das Schutz/Halte-Element aus einem durchsichtigen Material ist der Aufreissstreifen auf seiner ganzen Länge sichtbar. Um seine Funktion als Markierungselement erfüllen zu können, soll er deshalb nicht um den vollen Umfang des Paketes reichen, damit sein eines Ende als Aufreissstelle erkannt werden kann, was eine zweite Bedingung für die Länge des Aufreissstreifens darstellt. Vorteilhafterweise hat der Aufreissstreifen für die Markierungsfunktion auch eine sich deutlich vom Inhalt des Paketes abhebende Farbe, damit er leicht als Markierungselement erkannt werden kann.If the protective / holding element is made of a transparent material, the tear strip is visible along its entire length. In order to be able to fulfill its function as a marking element, it should therefore not extend around the full scope of the package so that one end can be recognized as a tear-open point, which represents a second condition for the length of the tear-off strip. Advantageously, the tear strip for the marking function also has a color that clearly stands out from the contents of the package, so that it can be easily recognized as a marking element.

Zusätzlich kann der Aufreissstreifen bei durchsichtigem Schutz/Halte-Element auf seiner auf dem Paket gegen aussen gewandten Oberfläche beispielsweise Paket-spezifische Informationen, wie beispielsweise eine Adresse aufweisen. In diesem Falle ist der Aufreissstreifen möglichst lang (strichpunktierte Variante) und die Information wiederholt sich über seine ganze Länge.In addition, the tear strip with a transparent protection / holding element can have, for example, package-specific information, such as an address, on its surface on the package facing outwards. In In this case, the tear strip is as long as possible (dash-dotted variant) and the information is repeated over its entire length.

Ist das Material des Schutz/Halte-Elementes nicht durchsichtig, ist am Paket nur der die äussere Kante 12 des Schutz/Halte-Elementes überragende Teil des Aufreissstreifens sichtbar. Die Länge des Streifens ist also durch seine Markierungsfunktion nicht begrenzt.If the material of the protective / holding element is not transparent, only the part of the tear strip projecting beyond the outer edge 12 of the protective / holding element is visible on the package. The length of the strip is therefore not limited by its marking function.

Bei Verwendung von Haftfolie als Material für das Schutz/Halte-Element kann der Aufreissstreifen beispielsweise aus starkem Papier oder nicht haftendem Kunststoff bestehen. Bei Verwendung von Papier für das Schutz/Halte-Element ist ein Aufreissstreifen aus Kunststoff vorteilhaft.If adhesive film is used as the material for the protective / holding element, the tear strip can consist, for example, of strong paper or non-stick plastic. When using paper for the protection / holding element, a tear strip made of plastic is advantageous.

Soll beim Aufreissen des Paketes nicht die Verbindung zwischen den beiden sich überlappenden Bereichen des Schutz/Halte-Elements aufgerissen sondern das Schutz/Halte-Element an sich zerrissen werden, kann es bei starkem Material des Schutz/Halte-Elements vorteilhaft sein, entlang der in der Figur 2 den Aufreissstreifen 20 darstellenden, auf dem Schutz/Halte-Element 10 längs verlaufenden Linien, Sollreissstellen im Schutz/Halte-Element vorzusehen.If the connection between the two overlapping areas of the protection / holding element is not to be torn apart when the package is torn open, but the protection / holding element itself is to be torn apart, it can be advantageous in the case of strong material of the protection / holding element along the in of FIG. 2, the tear strips 20, along the length of the protection / holding element 10, are to provide predetermined tear points in the protection / holding element.

Figur 3 zeigt wiederum ein Schutz/Halte-Element 10 mit einem Markierungselement 20, das die auf dem Paket aussen liegende Kante 12 des Schutz/Halte-Elements aber nicht überragt. Diese Ausführungsform ist geeignet für Materialien des Schutz/Halte-Elementes, die eher flexibel sind, derart, dass der durch das Markierungselement 20 bedingte, örtliche Unterbruch in der Verbindung zwischen den beiden sich überlappenden Bereichen des Schutz/Halte-Elements als Angriffstelle für das Aufreissen genügt. Diese Ausführungsform kann auch mit einer entsprechenden Beschichtung der am Paket gegen innen gewandten Oberfläche des Schutz/Halte-Elements realisiert werden, wobei der beschichtete Bereich 30 dieselbe Form haben kann wie das dargestellte Markierungselement 20. Ein beschichteter Bereich 30' kann auch auf der am Paket gegen aussen gewandten Oberfläche des Schutz/Halte-Elementes angebracht sein, wobei er dann an der strichpunktiert angegebenen Stelle positioniert sein muss. FIG. 3 again shows a protection / holding element 10 with a marking element 20, which does not, however, protrude beyond the edge 12 of the protection / holding element lying on the outside of the package. This embodiment is suitable for materials of the protection / holding element that are rather flexible in such a way that the local break caused by the marking element 20 in the connection between the two overlapping regions of the protection / holding element as a point of attack for the tearing open enough. This embodiment can also be realized with a corresponding coating of the surface of the protective / holding element facing towards the inside of the package, wherein the coated area 30 can have the same shape as the illustrated marking element 20. A coated area 30 'can also be on the outside of the package facing surface of the protection / holding element, where it must then be positioned at the dot-dash line.

Eine kantenmerkierende Beschichtung, wie sie als 30 dargestellt ist, kann verschiedenste Formen haben. Sie kann beispielsweise pfeilförmig auf die Kante 12 weisen oder sich als Streifen entlang der ganzen Kante 12 oder Teilen davon (beispielsweise Eckbereiche) erstrecken, wie dies im Zusammenhang mit der Figur 7 noch gezeigt werden soll.An edge-marking coating, as shown as 30, can have a wide variety of shapes. For example, it can point to the edge 12 in the form of an arrow or extend as a strip along the entire edge 12 or parts thereof (for example corner regions), as will be shown in connection with FIG. 7.

Figur 4 zeigt eine Ausführungsform mit einem beschichteten Bereich 30, die aber trotzdem einen die äussere Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elementes 10 überragenden Teil zum Ergreifen aufweist. Für diesen Zweck ist die entsprechende Kante 12.1 nicht gradlinig sondern eine entsprechende Anformung 13 bildend ausgebildet. Soll das Schutz/Halte-Element von einer Vorratsrolle bezogen werden, wird die innere Kante 14 eine der Anformung 13 entsprechende Einformung 15 bilden. Auch diese Ausführungsform kann anstelle einer kantenmarkierenden Beschichtung 30 ein separates Markierungselement 20 aufweisen. FIG. 4 shows an embodiment with a coated area 30, which nevertheless has a part for gripping beyond the outer edge of the protection / holding element 10. For this purpose, the corresponding edge 12.1 is not formed in a straight line, but rather to form a corresponding projection 13. If the protection / holding element is to be obtained from a supply roll, the inner edge 14 will form a molding 15 corresponding to the molding 13. This embodiment can also have a separate marking element 20 instead of an edge-marking coating 30.

Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen nun Ausführungsformen von Schutz/Halte-Elementen 10 mit Markierungselementen 20 oder beschichteten Bereichen 30, wobei das Markierungselement oder die Beschichtung dieselbe Länge haben wie das Schutz/Halte-Element, derart, dass das Material für das Markierungselement auf derselben Vorratsrolle wie das Material für das Schutz/Halte-Element aufgewickelt sein kann oder die Beschichtung vorgängig auf dieses Material aufgebracht werden kann, wodurch das Verfahren zur Herstellung der Pakete natürlich stark vereinfacht wird. Figur 5 zeigt dabei eine Ausführungsform mit gradlinig verlaufenden Kanten des Schutz/Halte-Elementes 10, Figur 6 eine Ausführungsform mit Kanten, die eine Anformung 13 bzw. eine Einformung 15 bilden, entsprechend Figur 4. Bei der in der Figur 5 dargestellten Ausführungsform fällt sowohl bei durchsichtigem als auch bei undurchsichtigem Schutz/Halte-Element die Markierungsfunktion völlig weg, das heisst der Verbraucher muss auf dem Umfang des Paketes den losen Bereich der Kante 12 suchen, wenn diese nicht anderswie markiert ist. Bei der in der Figur 6 dargestellten Ausführungsform muss die Anformung 13 die Markierungsfunktion übernehmen, was bei undurchsichtigem Schutz/Halte-Element so oder so der Fall ist. FIGS. 5 and 6 now show embodiments of protective / holding elements 10 with marking elements 20 or coated areas 30, the marking element or the coating having the same length as the protective / holding element, such that the material for the marking element is on the same supply roll like the material for the protection / holding element can be wound or the coating can be applied to this material beforehand, which of course greatly simplifies the process for producing the packages. FIG. 5 shows an embodiment with straight edges of the protection / holding element 10, FIG. 6 shows an embodiment with edges that form a projection 13 or a recess 15, corresponding to FIG. 4. In the embodiment shown in FIG in the case of a transparent as well as an opaque protection / holding element, the marking function is completely gone, that is to say the consumer has to look for the loose area of the edge 12 on the circumference of the package, unless this is marked otherwise. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the molding 13 has to take over the marking function, which is the case either way with an opaque protection / holding element.

Figur 7 zeigt eine letzte, beispielhafte Ausführungsform des Schutz/Halte-Elements. Es handelt sich dabei beispielsweise um ein entsprechendes Element aus starkem Papier, das zum Verschliessen des Paketes in einem Bereich 16 mit Klebstoff beschichtet wird. Der Klebebereich 16 ist dabei derart zu wählen, dass er nicht bis an die Kante 12 reicht. Damit die Kante 12 auch leicht erkennbar ist, ist auf der der beleimten Oberfläche gegenüberliegenden Oberfläche des Schutz/Halte-Elements eine entsprechende kantenmarkierende Beschichtung 30' aufgebracht, die sich beispielsweise, wie dargestellt, über die ganze Länge der zu markierenden Kante 12 erstrecken kann. Die Kante 12 wird durch die Markierung erkannt und kann, dadurch dass sie nicht an der darunterliegenden Oberfläche des Schutz/Halte-Elements haftet, leicht ergriffen werden. FIG. 7 shows a last, exemplary embodiment of the protection / holding element. This is, for example, a corresponding element made of strong paper, which is coated with adhesive in an area 16 to close the package. The adhesive area 16 should be selected such that it does not reach the edge 12. In order that the edge 12 can also be easily recognized, a corresponding edge-marking coating 30 'is applied to the surface of the protective / holding element opposite the glued surface, which, for example, as shown, can extend over the entire length of the edge 12 to be marked. The edge 12 is recognized by the marking and, because it does not adhere to the underlying surface of the protective / holding element, can be gripped easily.

Besteht das Schutz/Halte-Element aus einer durchsichtigen Haftfolie, erübrigt sich der Klebebereich 16 und reicht ein Beschichtungsbereich 30'' aus. Dieser ist in diesem Falle auf der dem Betrachter zugewandten (im Paket inneren) Oberfläche des Schutz/Halte-Elementes angebracht und verhindert das Haften der Kante 12 an dem darunter liegenden Bereich des Schutz/Halte-Elements. Eine solche Ausführungsform unterscheidet sich lediglich durch die Form des Beschichtungsbereiches von den im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 2 bis 6 beschriebenen Beschichtungsbereichen 30.If the protective / holding element consists of a transparent adhesive film, the adhesive area 16 is unnecessary and a coating area 30 ″ is sufficient. In this case, this is on the side facing the viewer (inside the package) Surface of the protection / holding element attached and prevents the edge 12 from sticking to the underlying area of the protection / holding element. Such an embodiment differs only in the shape of the coating area from the coating areas 30 described in connection with FIGS. 2 to 6.

Figur 8 zeigt nun in einer sehr schematischen Darstellung eine beispielhafte Ausführungsform einer Vorrichtung, mit der nach dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren rohrförmige Pakete hergestellt werden können. Diese Vorrichtung weist die folgenden an sich bekannten Teilvorrichtungen auf: eine Aufwickelvorrichtung 70 zum Aufwickeln einer Schuppenformation von Druckprodukten mit einer Wickelrichtung gemäss Pfeil 70', eine Zuführung für die Schuppenformation 71 mit Zuführrichtung gemäss Pfeil 71' und eine Zuführvorrichtung für das Material S für Schutz/Halte-Elemente, die aus einer Vorratsrolle 72 mit Abwickelrichtung gemäss Pfeil 72', einem steuerbaren Zuführmittel 73 und einer Trennvorrichtung 74 besteht. FIG. 8 shows a very schematic illustration of an exemplary embodiment of a device with which tubular packages can be produced using the method according to the invention. This device has the following known partial devices: a winding device 70 for winding a scale formation of printed products with a winding direction according to arrow 70 ', a feed for the scale formation 71 with a feed direction according to arrow 71' and a feed device for the material S for protection / Holding elements, which consists of a supply roll 72 with unwinding direction according to arrow 72 ', a controllable feed means 73 and a separating device 74.

Für die Zuführung des Materials A für Markierungselemente (Aufreissstreifen) ist eine Vorratsrolle 75 mit Abwickelrichtung gemäss Pfeil 75', eine steuerbare Zuführeinrichtung, beispielsweise in Form eines Förderwalzenpaars 76 und eines Zuführkanals 77, und eine steuerbare Trennvorrichtung 78, beispielsweise bestehend aus einer Klinge und einer Gegenklinge, vorgesehen.For the supply of material A for marking elements (tear strips) is a supply roll 75 with unwinding direction according to arrow 75 ', a controllable feed device, for example in the form of a pair of conveyor rollers 76 and a feed channel 77, and a controllable separating device 78, for example consisting of a blade and a Counter blade, provided.

Die Materialien S und A für die Schutz/Halte-Elemente und für die Aufreissstreifen sind in unzertrenntem Zustand auf den entsprechenden Vorratsrollen aufgerollt. Gegen Ende des Aufwickelvorganges der Schuppenformation beginnt die Zuführvorrichtung 73 von der Vorratsrolle 72 Material S für das Schutz/Halte-Element in die Aufwickelvorrichtung zuzuführen. Koordiniert mit dieser Zuführung und, wenn notwendig, mit dem Umfang des entstehenden Paketes beginnt die Zuführung von Material A für den Aufreissstreifen durch das Förderwalzenpaar 76 derart, dass die beim Aufwickelvorgang vorlaufende Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elements gleichzeitig mit oder vor der entsprechenden Kante des Aufreissstreifens aufgewickelt wird. Die beiden Trennvorrichtungen 74 und 78 sind vorteilhafterweise derart koordiniert, dass die beim Aufwickelvorgang nachlaufende Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elements kurz vor der entsprechenden Kante des Aufreissstreifens aufgewickelt wird, sodass der Aufreissstreifen die Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elementes leicht überlappt, wie dies in der Figur 1 dargestellt ist.The materials S and A for the protection / holding elements and for the tear strips are rolled up on the corresponding supply rolls in an undivided state. Towards the end of the winding process of the scale formation, the feed device 73 begins to feed material S for the protection / holding element into the winding device from the supply roll 72. Coordinates with this feed and, if necessary, with the scope of the resulting Package begins the supply of material A for the tear strip by the pair of conveying rollers 76 such that the edge of the protective / holding element leading during the winding process is wound up simultaneously with or in front of the corresponding edge of the tear strip. The two separating devices 74 and 78 are advantageously coordinated in such a way that the edge of the protective / holding element trailing during the winding-up process is wound up shortly before the corresponding edge of the tear-open strip, so that the tear-off strip slightly overlaps the edge of the protective / holding element, as shown in FIG 1 is shown.

Zusätzlich kann die Vorrichtung auch eine steuerbare Druck-, Stempel-oder ähnliche Vorrichtung 79 aufweisen, mit der beispielsweise paketspezifische Information, wie eine Adresse, auf die am Paket gegen aussen gewendete Oberfläche des Aufreissstreifens aufgebracht (beispielsweise aufgedruckt) wird. Dies ist nur sinnvoll, wenn das Schutz/Halte-Element aus einem durchsichtigen Material besteht. Vorteilhafterweise ist der informationstragende Aufreissstreifen lang und trägt die Information sich um den Umfang des Paketes wiederholend.In addition, the device can also have a controllable printing, stamping or similar device 79, with which, for example, package-specific information, such as an address, is applied (for example printed) to the surface of the tear strip turned towards the outside of the package. This only makes sense if the protection / holding element consists of a transparent material. Advantageously, the tear strip carrying information is long and repeats the information around the size of the package.

An sich entsprechen die Teilvorrichtungen der Vorrichtung gemäss der Figur 8 alle dem Stande der Technik und müssen deshalb an dieser Stelle nicht detailliert beschrieben werden.As such, the sub-devices of the device according to FIG. 8 all correspond to the prior art and therefore do not have to be described in detail here.

Anstelle einer Zuführung der beiden Materialien S und A ab Vorratsrollen mit paketspezifischer Abtrennung, können die Schutz/Halte-Elemente und die Aufreissstreifen auch beispielsweise mit entsprechenden Anlegern ab Stapeln von vorgeschnittenen Schutz/Halte-Elementen und Aufreissstreifen zugeführt werden.Instead of feeding the two materials S and A from supply rolls with package-specific separation, the protective / holding elements and the tear strips can also be fed, for example, with appropriate feeders from stacks of pre-cut protective / holding elements and tear strips.

Figur 9 zeigt eine weitere beispielhafte Ausführungsform einer Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens. Da diese Ausführungsform sich im wesentlichen von der Ausführungsform gemäss Figur 8 nur durch die relative Anordnung der einzelnen Teilvorrichtungen unterscheidet, sind die Funktionseinheiten mit den gleichen Bezugsnummern bezeichnet. FIG. 9 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a device for carrying out the method according to the invention. Since this embodiment essentially differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 8 only by the relative arrangement of the individual sub-devices, the functional units are identified by the same reference numbers.

Im Unterschied zur Ausführungsform der Figur 8 wird das Material A für das Markierungselement (Aufreissstreifen) von derselben Seite zugeführt wie das Material S für das Schutz/Halte-Element. Für das Abtrennen beider Materialien ist nur eine Trennvorrichtung 74/78 vorgesehen. Dies bedeutet, dass die im Aufwickelvorgang nachlaufende Kante des Aufreissstreifens immer auf der entsprechenden Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elements liegt. Soll also mit dieser Vorrichtung eine über die Kante vorstehende Angriffstelle geschaffen werden, muss das Trennelement derart ausgelegt werden, dass die in Zuführrichtung einander gegenüberliegenden Kanten des Schutz/Halte-Elementes gemäss Figur 4 geformt sind.In contrast to the embodiment in FIG. 8, material A for the marking element (tear strip) is supplied from the same side as material S for the protection / holding element. Only one separating device 74/78 is provided for separating both materials. This means that the trailing edge of the tear strip always lies on the corresponding edge of the protective / holding element. If this device is to be used to create a point of attack protruding over the edge, the separating element must be designed in such a way that the edges of the protective / holding element lying opposite one another in the feed direction are shaped according to FIG.

Figur 10 zeigt eine beispielhafte Ausführungsform einer Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von rohrförmigen Paketen mit einer unmittelbar vor dem Aufwickelvorgang auf die am Paket gegen innen gewandten Oberfläche des Schutz/Halte-Elements aufgebrachte, kantenmarkierende Beschichtung, durch die parallel zur Paketachse liegende, äussere Kante des Schutz/Halte-Elements markiert und möglicherweise eine Angriffsstelle an dieser Kante gebildet wird. Die Teilvorrichtungen zum Zuführen und Aufwickeln von Druckprodukten und Schutz/Halte-Elementen entsprechen wieder im wesentlichen denjenigen der Figur 8 und sind mit denselben Bezugsnummern bezeichnet. Zu diesen Teilvorrichtungen kommt eine Teilvorrichtung zum Aufbringen eines vorzugsweise flüssigen, auf der Oberfläche des Schutz/Halte-Elements zu einer Beschichtung trocknenden Materials, beispielsweise ein entsprechend steuerbarer Sprühkopf 90, dessen Sprühdüse derart seitlich begrenzt ist, dass die Sprühspur auf dem Schutz/Halte-Element eine vorgegebene Breite aufweist. Je nach aufgesprühtem Material und Abstand zwischen Sprühdüse und Aufwikkelvorrichtung kann eine in Zuführrichtung 71' auf die Sprühvorrichtung folgende Trocknungsvorrichtung (in der Figur nicht dargestellt) folgen. FIG. 10 shows an exemplary embodiment of a device for producing tubular packages with an edge-marking coating applied to the surface of the protective / holding element facing the package immediately before the winding-up process, by means of the outer edge of the protective / Hold element marked and possibly an attack point is formed on this edge. The sub-devices for feeding and winding up printed products and protection / holding elements again correspond essentially to those in FIG. 8 and are identified by the same reference numbers. In addition to these sub-devices, there is a sub-device for applying a preferably liquid material that dries on the surface of the protective / holding element to form a coating, for example a correspondingly controllable spray head 90, the spray nozzle of which is laterally limited in such a way that the spray track has a predetermined width on the protection / holding element. Depending on the material sprayed on and the distance between the spray nozzle and the winding device, a drying device (not shown in the figure) following the spray device in the feed direction 71 'can follow.

Mit der Vorrichtung gemäss Figur 10 und einer entsprechenden Steuerung des Sprühkopfes können Beschichtungen 30 und 30'', wie im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 3 bis 7 beschrieben, hergestellt werden. Für eine Beschichtung 16 mit Klebstoff (Figur 7) kann die dargestellte Vorrichtung 90 zum Aufbringen des Leimes dienen, während zum Aufbringen der kantenmarkierenden Beschichtung 30' beispielsweise im Bereiche der Trennvorrichtung 74 auf der anderen Seite des Materials S für die Schutz/Halte-Elemente eine ähnliche Vorrichtung vorgesehen ist.With the device according to FIG. 10 and a corresponding control of the spray head, coatings 30 and 30 ″, as described in connection with FIGS. 3 to 7, can be produced. The device 90 shown can serve for applying the glue for a coating 16 with adhesive (FIG. 7), while one for applying the edge-marking coating 30 ', for example in the area of the separating device 74 on the other side of the material S for the protection / holding elements similar device is provided.

Zur Herstellung von Paketen mit Schutz/Halte-Elementen und Markierungselementen oder kantenmarkierenden Beschichtungen gemäss Figuren 5 und 6 sind an sich die Vorrichtungen gemäss dem Stande der Technik genügend, wenn das Material für die Markierungselemente mit dem Material für das Schutz/Halte-Element auf der gleichen Vorratsrolle aufgerollt ist oder wenn ein Material für das Schutz/Halte-Element verwendet wird, auf dem streifenförmig über die ganze Länge eine entsprechende Beschichtung bereits aufgebracht ist.For the production of packages with protective / holding elements and marking elements or edge-marking coatings according to FIGS. 5 and 6, the devices according to the prior art are in themselves sufficient if the material for the marking elements with the material for the protective / holding element on the same supply roll is rolled up or if a material is used for the protection / holding element, on which a corresponding coating has already been applied over the entire length in strips.

Wird das Material für die Schutz/Halte-Elemente rechtwinklig zertrennt, liegen die äussere Kante 12 und die innere Kante 14 im Paket parallel zur Paketachse. Selbstverständlich kann das Material auch schiefwinklig zertrennt werden, sodass die beiden Kanten nicht mehr parallel zur Paketachse zu liegen kommen. Das Verfahren ist aber trotzdem im beschriebenen Sinne und mit denselben Vorrichtungen durchführbar.If the material for the protective / holding elements is cut at right angles, the outer edge 12 and the inner edge 14 in the package lie parallel to the package axis. Of course, the material can also be cut at an oblique angle so that the two edges no longer lie parallel to the package axis. However, the method can nevertheless be carried out in the sense described and with the same devices.
