Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for applying labeling sleeves to packaging or the like, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Machines are already known whose operating rates are satisfactory but which include several sleeving assemblies arranged at the periphery of a barrel in order to ensure the laying of sleeves during the rotation of the barrel. These machines are, however, prohibitively expensive and in addition the risks of operating anomalies and breakdowns are multiplied by the number of fitting assemblies provided on the barrel.
  • a machine of this type is for example described in European application No. 0 320 376.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of these known devices and to this end relates to a device for fitting labeling sleeves onto packaging or the like, comprising a device for feeding sleeves, a device for stretching sleeves and a horizontal conveyor for the packaging to be labeled, in which the sleeve supply device is arranged above and vertically of the conveyor and the stretching device comprises two pairs of stretchers movable horizontally and arranged obliquely by relative to the direction of conveyance of the packages by the conveyor, each pair of stretchers being arranged on either side of the conveyor path, characterized in that the two pairs of stretchers are vertically movable between the conveyor and the device power supply for gripping a sleeve, by entering the lower opening of said sleeve, and placing it on a package.
  • the stretchers arranged obliquely with respect to the direction of conveying of the packages are movable horizontally along a curved path.
  • the stretchers are movable horizontally by translation.
  • the stretchers of the two pairs of stretchers are oriented radially and form between them angles substantially of the order of 90 ° and are arranged obliquely to the conveyor substantially at angles of 45 ° .
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for fitting the sleeves on packaging or the like, which has a high operating rate and which allows reliability of fitting the labeling sleeves on the packaging. by a particular construction, arrangement and operation of the stretchers for fitting the sleeves on the packages.
  • the device shown in the attached drawings thus comprises a frame 1 traversed by a straight conveyor 2, constituted for example by an endless belt and on which are placed in abutment the packages to be labeled 3.
  • a straight conveyor 2 constituted for example by an endless belt and on which are placed in abutment the packages to be labeled 3.
  • this conveyor being in this case preferably but not necessarily associated with a distributor which ensures the spacing of the packaging to be labeled from its neighbors and / or temporarily stopping this packaging for the actual sleeving operation.
  • This distribution of the packaging can be done in compensated time, that is to say during the gripping and descent periods from a sleeve to a new packaging.
  • the device for supplying labeling sleeves this device, known in itself, ensuring the distribution and shaping of sleeves originating for example from a roll of sleeves supported by the machine frame.
  • the sleeves distributed by the feed device are gripped by two pairs of stretchers 6, the stretchers of each pair being arranged laterally on either side of the conveyor 2 so as to be movable above this conveyor between the conveyor and the sleeve supply device.
  • Each stretcher 6 comprises a vertical blade 6 1 which is intended to be introduced into the lower opening of the sleeve presented by the device in order to stretch it transversely and to move it vertically up and down to place it on the packaging 3 arranged vertically in the labeling position .
  • the stretchers 6 of the two pairs of stretchers are movable horizontally and are arranged obliquely to the conveying direction of the conveyor 2.
  • the four stretchers 6 are oriented radially with respect to each other and form between them angles substantially equal to 90 ° while being arranged at an angle of 45 ° with respect to the straight conveying direction. packing by the conveyor 2.
  • the stretchers 6 each consist of a deformable parallelogram structure comprising two parallel arms of the same length 6 2 articulated by one of their ends between a pair of plates 6 3 and receiving in an articulated manner at their other end the actual stretcher 6 provided with its vertical finger 6 6 .
  • the articulation axes 6 4 of these deformable parallelograms are vertical and one 6 5 of these axes constitutes a column for guiding the pairs of stretchers during their vertical displacement.
  • This cam 8 thus comprises a first circular cam path 9 on which the roller 10 is applied which is provided at the end of an arm 11 secured to a second arm 12 by means of its pivot axis 13.
  • This arm 12 is connected by a linkage 14 to a pin 14 1 which is integral with a circular cam 16 via the axis 17.
  • This cam 16 cooperates with rods 18 each articulated on an arm 6 6 integral in rotation with an arm 6 2 by one of the guide columns 6 5 .
  • This arrangement makes it possible to ensure, from the cam 9, the horizontal and translational movement of the stretchers 6 along curved trajectories in an arc of a circle, determined by the length and the pivot point of the rods 6 2 of the deformable parallelograms.
  • a spring 14 2 is provided in association with the crank pin 14 1 in order to tend constantly to bring the stretchers 6 in the initial position.
  • the vertical movement of the stretchers between the sleeve supply device and the conveyor 2 is provided from the circular cam 19 integral with the cam 9 and on which the roller 20 is applied, mounted on a lever 21 pivoting at 22 on the frame 1 of the machine.
  • the end of this lever 21 is connected by rods 23 to each of the pairs of structures 6 3 for supporting the pairs of stretchers 6 in order to control them in vertical movement on the four guide columns 6 5 .
  • the vertical and horizontal movements of the stretchers are perfectly synchronized so that, kinematically, the sleeves presented by the dispensing device are removed by the stretchers 6 and then stretched during their downward movement towards the conveyor and finally released on a package. Then, the stretchers move again to their high position to take over a new sleeve while a new package is placed vertically on the dispensing device.
  • the stretching of the sleeve is done by two pairs of stretchers placed obliquely to the path of the sleeves in order to ensure regular stretching of the sleeve transversely over its entire periphery and to obtain its easy installation on the packaging, without requiring displacement of this packaging outside its bearing surface on the conveyor.
