Definitions
- the invention relates to a group for collecting labels from a magazine, in labelling machines.
- groups have a rotating carousel on which label collecting organs, known as blades, are mounted.
- the blades are provided with a curved active surface and contact with a glueing group whereat their active surfaces are coated with a thin layer of glue, before passing on to the label magazine.
- the curved active surface of each blade drags (without slippage) on a label, and thanks to the layer of glue picks up said label.
- the active surface of the blade is at least equal to the size of the label.
- the length referred to above is of about 180-220 mm, with the standard size of the carousel diameter being of about 400 mm so that the whole label-collecting group can be of a contained size in order to limit the mass of the entire labelling machine. If larger labels are to be used, the collecting group has to be increased in size as well, which obviously leads to an economic/practical drawback, namely that the rest of the labelling machine has to be increased in size and therefore will cost more to make, transport, and so on.
- the principal aim of the present invention is to obviate the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing a label-collecting group of standard dimensions but capable of collecting longer than standard labels, and in particular much longer labels than the lengths of traditional blade active surfaces have up to now permitted.
- the label-collecting group for labelling machines constituted by a rotating carousel peripherally bearing at least one blade to collect the labels from the magazine, after first passing through the glueing group.
- the blade also rotates partially about its own support shaft, said shaft being equipped with a gearing mechanism associated to a cogged sector partially rotating in two opposite directions about a pivot.
- the blade is solid, by means of its support shaft, to a mobile body arranged peripherally of the carousel, a curved element also being fixed to the mobile body, said curved element having a similar curvature to the blade and being arranged on the trajectory of the blade in the rotation direction of the carousel.
- the curved element receives the glue when it passes through the glueing groups and collects the part of each single label that extends further than the size of the active curved surface of the blade.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a group for collecting labels from a magazine, in labelling machines. Usually such groups have a rotating carousel on which label collecting organs, known as blades, are mounted. The blades are provided with a curved active surface and contact with a glueing group whereat their active surfaces are coated with a thin layer of glue, before passing on to the label magazine. At the magazine, the curved active surface of each blade drags (without slippage) on a label, and thanks to the layer of glue picks up said label. In the prior art, the active surface of the blade is at least equal to the size of the label.
- The length referred to above is of about 180-220 mm, with the standard size of the carousel diameter being of about 400 mm so that the whole label-collecting group can be of a contained size in order to limit the mass of the entire labelling machine. If larger labels are to be used, the collecting group has to be increased in size as well, which obviously leads to an economic/practical drawback, namely that the rest of the labelling machine has to be increased in size and therefore will cost more to make, transport, and so on.
- The principal aim of the present invention is to obviate the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing a label-collecting group of standard dimensions but capable of collecting longer than standard labels, and in particular much longer labels than the lengths of traditional blade active surfaces have up to now permitted.
- These and other aims besides are all attained by the label-collecting group for labelling machines, constituted by a rotating carousel peripherally bearing at least one blade to collect the labels from the magazine, after first passing through the glueing group. The blade also rotates partially about its own support shaft, said shaft being equipped with a gearing mechanism associated to a cogged sector partially rotating in two opposite directions about a pivot. The blade is solid, by means of its support shaft, to a mobile body arranged peripherally of the carousel, a curved element also being fixed to the mobile body, said curved element having a similar curvature to the blade and being arranged on the trajectory of the blade in the rotation direction of the carousel. The curved element receives the glue when it passes through the glueing groups and collects the part of each single label that extends further than the size of the active curved surface of the blade. Further, the invention comprises at least one skate wheel, slideable in a shaped track, to enable the mobile body to move externalwise with respect to the carousel such that the blade can come into contact with the label, and remove it from the magazine.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will better emerge from the detailed description that follows, of an embodiment of the invention, illustrated in the form of a non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which:
- figure 1 schematically shows in plan view a labelling machine equipped with the label-collecting device of the invention;
- figure 2 schematically shows, in enlarged plan view and minus its cover, the label collecting group of the invention with its main components clearly evidenced;
- figure 3 schematically shows in plane view one of the moving bodies in the environs of the label magazine;
- figures 4, 5, 6 and 7 show four consecutive phases of the collection of a label from the magazine by a blade mounted on one of the moving bodies;
- figure 8 is a section view of the label collecting group in a position which is not illustrated in the preceding figures.
- With reference to figure 1, 1 denotes a conveyor, (not illustrated for the sake of simplicity) feeding bottles, jars or other containers to a
rotary structure 2 by means of a transfer wheel 3. The labels are applied on the bottles on therotary structure 2 by adrum 4, after which the bottles are removed by afurther transfer wheel 5 and placed on aconveyor 6. In figure 1 arrows indicate the movement direction of the bottles. - In the figures, 7 denotes the label collecting group of the invention, while 8 indicates the glueing group and 9 the label magazine: apart from the label collecting group, the other organs are of known type and will not be further described in the following description.
- The label collecting
group 7 comprises arotary carousel 11 bearingblades 12 at its periphery, each of whichblades 12 is provided with a curvedactive surface 13 removing the labels singly from themagazine 9 after having first passed through the glueinggroup 8. In effect, thecarousel 11 comprises a cover (denoted in figure 8 by 11) driven by ashaft 14 motorised by agear couple gear 16 being keyed on ashaft 17. - Each
blade 12 rotates partially about itsown support shaft 18 on which afurther gear 19 is keyed, whichgear 19 is motorised through anidle gear 20, anothergear 21, and acogged sector 22 partially rotatable in two directions about apivot 23 fixed to thecarousel 11. - The
cogged sector 22 rotates partially in two directions due to the fact that thecogged sector 22 is provided with afirst skate 24 slidably inserted in afirst track 25. In the illustrated embodiment, there are in fact twotracks 25, but one could be sufficient if the arrangement of the other components were modified. In any case, thetrack 25 is basically circular and made in thefixed base 26 of thecarousel 11. As can be seen in figure 3, near to themagazine 9, the curvature of thefirst track 25 deviates from being circular, such that thetrack 25 reaches further internalwise of thefixed base 26 than before, by an extent denoted by L1. This change in trajectory causes a displacement of theskate 24 in a radial centripetal direction with respect to thefixed base 26, which deviation determines a partial rotation of thecogged sector 22 about thepivot 23, with a consequent rotation of theblade 12 about theshaft 18. - Through its
support shaft 18 eachblade 12 is solid to amobile body 27 of approximately trapezoid shape, to which the shafts of thegears - A
curved element 28 is rigidly fixed to themobile body 27 and has anactive surface 29 provided with a similar curvature to that of theblade 12surface 13, and is arranged on the circular trajectory of theblade 12 in the rotation direction of thecarousel 11. - The
curved element 28 receives the glue when it passes at the glueinggroup 8 and then receives, on its surface 29 (by now spread with glue), the part of everylabel 10 collected by theblade 12 which overlaps theblade 12active surface 13. This sequence is illustrated in figures 6 and 7. In order to enable theblade 12 to contact thelabel 10 contained in the magazine (a rolling non-drag contact made by the rotation of the cogged sector 22), themobile body 27 displaces radially centrifugally with respect to thecarousel 11. This movement is made possible by the existence of asecond skate 30, solid to thebody 27, which is slidably inserted in a secondcircular track 31 made in thefixed base 26. As can be seen in figure 3, in the magazine area, thesecond track 31 is not perfectly circular but deviates such as to create a displaced tract L2 externalwise of thefixed base 26. This change in trajectory induces a displacement in thesecond skate 30 trajectory in a radial centrifugal direction (with respect to the base 26) and thus also of thebody 27. - Just downstream of the
magazine 9, in the rotation direction of thecarousel 11, an idle roller 32 (see figures 4 and 7) is installed, which presses thelabel 10 against thesurface 29 of thecurved element 28, enabling it to be correctly positioned. - Studies made on the subject reveal that on collecting
groups 7 having a standard diameter of 400mm., labels as long as 600mm can be used: this implies that labels long enough completely to surround a container of considerable circumference can be loaded; all of which is not possible with any prior art solution.
