  • the folding device can also be of any design, but preferably consists of a folding plate.
  • the term "transverse to the feed path" should not be understood to mean that it must necessarily be a right angle, but the term “transverse” is understood to mean both a right-angled arrangement and an oblique-angled arrangement as well as an arched feed direction.
  • the feed device can feed the ribbon material linearly, that is, on a linear movement path. However, it is also possible to make the feed device movable, for example, about a pivot point fixed to the frame, so that the feed of the ribbon material takes place on an arc-like curve.
  • the separating device for separating the ribbon from the ribbon material can be arranged at a suitable location. This arrangement is preferably provided between the feed device and the clamping device. However, other arrangements are also possible.
  • the known device consists of a feed device which intermittently pulls a tape from a tape roll, a controlled separating device for the tape, a controlled folding device for the tape, and a downstream device by means of which the label can be fed to a piece of fabric so that the tape is brought to the edge ( Hem) of the piece of fabric can be sewn in a sewing device.
  • the strip When the strip is pulled off the roll, the strip is advanced by a predetermined distance and one in the feed path of the strip by means of a motor or pneumatically adjustable feed device arranged pliers fed.
  • the feed device consists of two parallel flat rails, between which the tape can be threaded. In the rest position of the rails, these are at a short distance from one another, so that the band can be threaded easily.
  • a pair of rollers is arranged, which serves to capture and press the rails as soon as they are pushed forward after a short distance, so that the belt cannot move relative to the rails.
  • the band is fed to a collet which grips the band, whereupon the rails can be withdrawn.
  • the strip is cut through near the end of the rail by means of the separating device.
  • the band hangs vertically under the influence of the gravity of the earth.
  • the tape is then folded by means of a folding device.
  • the folding device consists essentially of a folding plate, which is arranged in a guide in the longitudinal direction.

  • the folding plate has a folding edge running transversely to the direction of displacement of the folding plate, and two obliquely converging folding edges adjoining it laterally.
  • a guide Auxiliary frame arranged through which the folding plate can reach.
  • the entire device is combined into a single component and attached to the edge of a conveyor table or the like machine frame.
  • the cut tape still hangs vertically in the clamp and under the influence of gravity. If the folding plate is then moved in the direction of the belt, it leads the belt section in the middle, driving it into the slot of the auxiliary frame. At the same time the collet opens so that the band section can be folded freely.
  • the band section is then passed through the folding plate to a positioning device, by means of which the band can then be sewn onto the edge of a fabric web.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method of the generic type and an associated device, by means of which an adjustment can be made quickly and easily with a low design effort so that tapes of different dimensions can be folded and processed.
  • the end of the tape is held in the clamping device, preferably a pair of pliers, and is not yet separated from the tape material running off the tape roll.
  • the feed device can then be withdrawn and, after the feed device of the band has been withdrawn, the folding plate can first be moved in the direction of the Advance positioning device, in particular positioning pliers, a corresponding feed being selected according to the leg length of the ribbon to be produced or, in the case of unfolded ribbon, the length of the ribbon.

  • the separating device can then intervene directly between the feed device in the foremost position and the clamping device and separate the ribbon material.
  • the feed device with a pass-through slot or the like through which the separating device can grip, so that when the feed device is in the foremost position, the separating device engages through the feed device and separates the strip. In this way, the movement cycle is positively influenced, i.e. the work cycle is reduced by one movement.
  • each ribbon has legs of the same length, but the leg lengths are variable depending on the feed path of the feed device.
  • the folding sheet is advanced so far after the ribbon has been severed until the ribbon is fully unfolded.
  • the first tensioning device still holds one end of the ribbon. Only when the ribbon is fully unfolded does the positioning tongs close and hold the unfolded ribbon end in place while the folding plate moves back to the starting position and the collet releases the ribbon.
  • the unfolded ribbon can then be sent for further processing or placed in a magazine.
  • the ribbon is first inserted into the clamping device (clamping pliers) by means of the feed device and the clamping device is closed.
  • the tape to be molded which is still attached to the tape material in one piece, can be held in the area of the feed device by the feed device itself or by a second clamping device, while the first clamping device releases the tape end.
  • the folding device can then move forward in the direction of the positioning pliers, a corresponding feed being selected in accordance with the length of the folded ribbon. If the ribbon is then fully unfolded and inserted into the positioning tongs, the positioning tongs are closed and the ribbon material can be separated with a suitable separating device directly in front of the feed device.
  • the separating device in the area of the feed device, that is to say, for example by reaching through it, in order to enable the ribbon to be separated.

It is only essential for the procedure that the ribbon to be formed is held at a later end, either the end that is already free or the end that is later exposed by detaching, and then the folding device is actuated so far that the ribbon is fully unfolded and into the Positioning pliers with one end is inserted. The ribbon can then be guided further by means of the positioning pliers by cutting off the strip material.
  • the method according to the invention simplifies the setting of the device for the purpose of changing the length of the ribbon, and the constructional means for producing ribbons of different lengths are also simple.
  • a preferred development is seen in the fact that after threading the ribbon material into the feed device before the start of the feed movement, the ribbon material is held in contact near the end of the feed device lying forward in the feed direction, in particular the pressure rollers are advanced together with the feed device and only then After the end of the band has been transferred to the collet, the band material is released from the pressure rollers and the feed device is retracted.
  • This arrangement ensures that the ribbon located in the feed device is held in place during the feed of the feed device and is forcibly carried along, the pressure rollers, contrary to the teaching of the prior art, first being brought into the engagement position and only then is the feed device being put into operation .
  • a further preferred embodiment is seen in the fact that the folding plate is braked in the direction of the positioning pliers before the selected repeat length of the label to be cut from the tape material (tape section) is braked, then or simultaneously a print mark reader is put into operation, by means of which the print mark of the producing tape section is detected, and that after detecting the print mark, the tape section in the area of the print mark is separated from the tape material.
  • the folding plate is moved in the direction of the positioning tongs at considerable speed, so that it is very difficult to scan with a print mark reader and also very difficult to separate with a cutting device.
  • the design is preferred, since during the decelerated movement the scanning is facilitated by the print mark reader and, in addition, triggered by the braking movement, it only becomes functional is, so that previously running components of the ribbon, such as imprints or the like, do not lead to misinterpretations by the print mark reader. By slowing down the movement, it is also possible in a simplified manner to cut the band section at the desired point.
  • the leg ends of the latter are connected to one another after separation from the ribbon material, in particular be welded.
  • a preferred method for producing U-shaped labels according to the preamble of claim 5 is that the legs of the ribbon are pressed around the converging edges of a shaped plate, so that a U-shape is created, by means of an approximately U-shaped folding plate with converging legs, which is shifted linearly from a position located above the ribbon parallel to this and the mold plate to a position below the mold plate, that the mold plate is then linearly displaced in the direction of the positioning pliers and preferably in the direction of the mold plate, so that the ribbon is taken over by the positioning pliers before its legs emerge completely from the gap between the molded sheet and the folded sheet.
  • a corresponding ribbon is fed via a separate feed device, the ribbon being folded solely by the folding plate, which is linearly transverse to the Area extension of the sheet is shifted. Then the shaped sheet is pushed forward crossing the displacement path of the folding sheet and thus the tape is transferred to the positioning pliers.
  • the invention further relates to a device for producing labels for carrying out the method according to one of claims 1 to 5, consisting of a storage device or a rotatably held roll with ribbon material or a storage device for folded ribbon material, a feed device for the ribbon material, into which the The end of the tape can be threaded and by means of which the threaded tape can be pulled off the storage device, a clamping device or pliers for taking over the tape end from the feed device, a folding device or a folding plate which can be moved transversely to the feed path of the tape and the feed device and the tape of a positioning device passes or inserted between the jaws of a positioning device or positioning pliers, which takes over the inserted ribbon area and transfers it to a storage or processing device, appel i

  • the adjustable roller is removed from the other so that the strip material can move between the elements of the feed device and can be pulled off the roller 1.
  • a print mark reading head is screwed directly onto the automatic label machine. Due to the size of the print mark reader, it is not possible with this arrangement to directly scan the label to be cut, but only every second label can be scanned. The result of this is that the read head must also be adjusted with each change in length. This is very complex and must be extremely exactly to ensure a precise cut of the repeat length. This arrangement also results in a relatively large construction.
