Definitions

  • the invention relates to machines for manufacturing envelopes or pouches, and more particularly envelopes or pouches with windows.
  • the known machines intended for manufacturing such envelopes or such pockets are composed of "stations" in each of which one or more manufacturing operations are carried out, the stations being traversed sequentially by the product intended for constituting the envelopes.
  • envelopes are produced by means of individual sheets obtained by cutting sections cut from a strip of material. initially wound around a drum constituting a coil.
  • Machines dedicated to the manufacture of envelopes of given dimensions are only adaptable to the manufacture of envelopes of different dimensions by relatively long and complex modifications.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks by creating a machine enabling the manufacture of envelopes to continue while their window production stations are out of operation.
  • the invention therefore relates to a machine for making envelopes comprising a series of stations comprising stations for making windows in a strip or in individual sheets, these stations for making windows constituting an apparatus for making windows inside. from which a predetermined path is defined for the strip or sheets on which this strip or these sheets are brought into contact with window making tools, from a window cutting station to a shape cutting station, machine characterized in that along the window making apparatus is defined a second path for the strip or sheets on which the strip or sheets are kept out of contact with the window making tools, said predetermined path and said second journey have a common start and end, and the beginning of the journeys is indicated by a disp positive mechanical switching directing the strip or sheets selectively on said predetermined path or on said second path.
  • the invention very simply makes it possible to select the manufacture of one or the other type of envelopes, and thus to carry out interventions on the part of the machine which produces the windows without interrupting the manufacture of envelopes.
  • the known machine for making envelopes (or pouches), represented in FIG. 1, comprises stations 1-14 arranged one after the other, each adapted to carry out one or more manufacturing operations on the product.
  • intended for constituting envelopes initially in the form of a strip of paper coming from a supply reel and transported continuously or in the form of individual sheets transported one after the other, by transport cylinders; in the example shown, the product is in the form of a strip of paper B up to a separation station which cuts from the strip, the individual sheets intended to constitute the envelopes.
  • These stations which follow each other so that the output of one is connected to the input of the next are, in order (which is the one in which they are traversed by the product until its completion at the envelope state), a printing station 1 (here flexographic), a window cutting station 2, a sizing and application station 3 of window material, a shape cutting station 4, a folding station 5 for side tabs, a bonding station 6 for side tabs, a station for separating the strip into individual envelope sheets, a station for folding 8 bottom tabs, a station for folding 9 outer side tabs, a tiering station 10, a gumming station 11 of closing tabs (gum with dextrin, or latex, or adhesion gum), a drying station 12, a margining station 13 , and a receiving station 14.
  • a printing station 1 here flexographic
  • a window cutting station 2 a sizing and application station 3 of window material
  • a shape cutting station 4 for side tabs
  • a bonding station 6 for side tabs
  • the set of window production stations constitutes a production apparatus. of windows inside which the path for the strip is defined on which this strip is brought into contact with tools for making windows, from the window cutting station 2 to the shape cutting station 4.
  • the window cutting station includes tools for cutting from the strip, a rectangular opening with rounded corners.
  • the sizing and application station 3 for window material comprises a drum carrying a coil 31 of window material in the form of a strip of a film of transparent plastic material; it also includes tools for sectioning the strip of plastic material into rectangles of dimensions larger than those of the opening and gluing tools, on one side, for the area close to the periphery of each section of window strip which has been cut; it also includes tools for applying the partially glued side of each window strip section against one side of the strip B intended to constitute the envelopes, so that the center of the window strip section and that of the window the opening coincide at least approximately and that their respective corresponding sides are substantially parallel.
  • the cutting station 4 of the form being of the type with rotary cutting tool (s) or even of the type with wing knives, is, according to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, adapted to receive flexible rotary knives.
  • the other stations are provided with tools suitable for their respective function, and for example the drying station 12 is provided with ducts 121 for the arrival of hot air, the free end of which is equipped with a blowing nozzle 122.
  • a second path is created along the window production equipment for the strip B or the sheets, on which the strip or the sheets are kept out of contact with the window production tools (cutting tools, sizing, application of window sheets, cutting of the shape, in particular), this second path and the first path along which the strip is brought into contact with window production tools having a common start and end, and the start of the two paths being materialized by a mechanical switching device whose only location, here just at the exit of the printing station 1, is shown diagrammatically at 15 in FIG. 2, directing the ba nde or the leaves selectively on the first or the second path.
  • this second path passes to the lower part of the window production equipment, or even under it (window cutting station 2, gluing and application station 3 of window material, and station cutting 4 of the shape).
  • the mechanical switching device is a coupling and uncoupling device, for example with dogs, here interposed at the output of the printing station 1 but can also be between this output and the input of the cutting station 2 of windows by the path for the realization of windows, intended to transmit a movement on the first or the second path to this station, and to interrupt this movement, selectively.
  • a mechanical switching device which can also be a clutch coupling and uncoupling device is also provided on the gluing and application station 3 of window material to transmit a movement to this station and to interrupt the transmission of this movement. , selectively.
  • the invention can easily be applied to existing machines simply by adding to them the mechanical switching devices and the transport cylinders 16 at the appropriate locations.
