Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an installation for producing, from at least one strip of printed paper, documents printed with one or more sheets assembled, such as instructions intended to be folded and arranged with an object in a package. or container.
  • the invention is more particularly intended for the pharmaceutical industry in order to produce leaflets relating to medicinal products.
  • a leaflet especially in the pharmaceutical field, must have an optimal dimension. Beyond this dimension, it becomes difficult to fold it small enough for it to enter a packaging box. On the other hand, if the surface of the record is too small, it is not possible to write all mandatory information and information intended to inform the consumer.
  • the surface and dimensions of the leaflet must be compatible with the packaging intended to contain the medicinal product.
  • the surface and dimensions of the leaflet must be compatible with the packaging intended to contain the medicinal product.
  • only a given surface and size can be suitable.
  • EP-274 872 are known; GB-1,546,798; US-2,868,539 and WO-93 09,049.
  • the surface of the record is limited by its length and its width.
  • the width of the leaflet that is to say the width of the paper strip, cannot be increased without limitation, otherwise the folded leaflet would have a larger dimension than the packaging.
  • the notice is introduced into the packaging so that the dimension corresponding to the width of the original strip of paper is less than the total length of the two longitudinal sides and the bottom of the package, said leaflet being folded to form a sort of U.
  • the length of the leaflet is also limited by the constraints linked to the bending machines. In fact, the increase in length of the leaflets leads to a reduction in the operational speed of the bending machines. Thus, any increase in the length of the instructions affects the performance of these machines, which is incompatible with usual economic imperatives.
  • the invention aims to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above and to produce relatively large notices without major modification of the usual folder-cutters, which results in multiplying by two, three or more, the useful surface of the notices, without significantly affecting the total cost of producing them.
  • the strips of smaller dimensions are superimposed using turning bars or folding cones.
  • Pre-cutting can be done before or after printing.
  • the strips of smaller dimensions are assembled on one of their longitudinal edges.
  • Another object of the invention is an installation for implementing the method and comprising means for carrying out a precut in the longitudinal direction of the paper strip, means for creating by separation at the precut, at least two strips of smaller dimensions transversely, arranged side by side and substantially in the same plane, and means for superimposing one on the other the strips of smaller dimensions thus formed.
  • the installation may include turning bars or folding cones, two, three or more.
  • the installation may also include means for assembling on one of their longitudinal edges, to one another, the strips of smaller dimensions.
  • the process is completed by an initial step in which the paper web is printed and by a final step in which the printed document is folded and placed in a container with an appropriate object.
  • the invention also relates to an installation allowing the implementation of the method.
  • the installation also includes a station for printing the strip and means for cartoning printed and folded documents and an object in a container.
  • Yet another object of the invention is a printed document, such as a notice, produced using a method and / or an installation as above.
  • the invention further relates to a package in which are arranged a consumer product and a document.
  • FIG. 1 comprises several functional blocks, each corresponding to a particular stage in a process aimed at producing a notice, folding it and placing it with an object in a packaging or container.
  • the first step (block 1) consists of printing on a strip of paper rolled up on a roll, information in the form of block letters, logo, drawings, pictograms or any other information, general or particular, relating to the product.
  • leaflets may include compulsory information, of a general nature on the use of a medicament, and particular information on the medicament in question, such as its definition, dosage, composition and effects, along with information relating to the company manufacturing the same medicine.
  • the power supply coil feeds a functional block 3 allowing the manual to be produced, cut and folded.
  • the latter is brought to a machine called cartoner (block 4), itself receiving on the one hand the packaging or the container of the product (block 5) and the product itself (block 6).
  • the cartoner is known in itself and ensures the shaping of the packaging, the introduction of the product into the latter, the final folding of the instructions and the introduction of the instructions into the packaging alongside the product. , and finally the closure of the packaging or container, bearing the general reference 7 in FIG. 1.
  • the functional block 3 comprises several steps according to the invention, namely the longitudinal cutting of the strip of paper coming from the reel supply 2, the superposition of the two strips of smaller width thus created, then an assembly operation on the '' one of the longitudinal edges (optional operation), followed by a transverse cutting of the paper strip to make a succession of strips of smaller width and given length, and finally the final folding of the instructions, this one being intended to be placed in the packaging 5 by the cartoner 4.
  • the longitudinal cutting and stacking operation has the reference 8, the assembly on one of the longitudinal edges is referenced 9, the cutting transverse refers to block 10, while the folding of the manual thus produced bears the functional reference 11.
  • FIG 2 shows a schematic section of a known type of packaging, such as packaging 7 of Figure 1, made of folded cardboard and assembled by gluing for example.
  • the packaging 7 is for example of parallelepiped shape and is called to contain a product such as a tube 6 containing medicinal tablets.
  • the tube 6 has a cover 12 and is cylindrical in shape.
  • the packaging 7 comprises a bottom 13 folded down and glued to one of the walls at 14, and an opening 15 capable of being closed by lateral flaps (of which only the flap 16 is visible) and a front flap 17, so known per se.
  • a notice 18 consisting of a strip of paper folded on itself, generally in accordion, to form a longitudinal strip again folded in the general shape of U as shown in cross section in Figure 2.
  • the supply coil 2 of a type known in itself, is mounted on a frame 19 ( Figure 4).
  • the paper strip has a width for example of 280 millimeters, for a rolled length of approximately 4,000 meters.
  • the coil 2 supplies a work station allowing the longitudinal cutting of the strip into two strips of smaller width, called sub-strip.
  • the strip of paper wound on the reel 2, bearing the general reference 20 is cut in the middle substantially to form two sub-strips 20A and 20B of the same width.
  • the separation line between the strips 20A and 20B is referenced 21 and is located substantially in the middle of the main strip 20.
  • the work station 8 ensuring the longitudinal cutting, comprises a frame 22 comprising an introduction roller 23 on which the paper strip scrolls. On the frame 22 are arranged two turning bars 24 and 25 parallel to each other. 'other and arranged at 450 relative to the direction of travel of the main strip 20 at the exit of the reel 2.
  • the two turning bars are arranged downstream of the introduction roller 23, about 30 centimeters from the latter. More specifically, the first turning bar 24 allows the first sub-band 20B to be turned over, while the second turning bar 25 ensures the turning of the second sub-band 20A. The turning takes place at 90 °. Thus, at the output of the two turning bars 24 and 25, the two sub-bands 20A and 20B are arranged one on the other and have a running direction orthogonal to the running direction of the main strip 20.
  • the longitudinal cutting of the main strip 20, at the center line 21, is carried out by the partial winding on the turning bars of each sub-strip 20A and 20B, which creates a transverse force of separation of the sub-strips one from the other at the level of a central longitudinal precut 26 originally provided on the paper strip 20.
  • the precut 26 is symbolized by a dotted line in FIGS. 3 and 5.
  • the superimposed sub-bands 20A and 20B are conveyed by a call assembly comprising two rollers 27 and 28 between which the two superimposed sub-bands 20A and 20B pass.
  • the latter are brought to a transverse cutting station 10, known in itself and consisting for example of a roller 29 carrying an axial knife 30.
  • the diameter of the roller 29, the speed of rotation of the latter, the speed scrolling sub-bands 20A and 20B, are calculated so that the knife 30 cuts transversely the two sub-bands 20A and 20B to define a section or segment 31 of two sub-bands of given length.
  • the strip sections 31, 32 shown in FIG. 3 are conveyed to a folding device 11, known in itself and at the end of which the folded leaflet is conveyed by a transport device 33 to a cartoner 4 known in itself. same and not shown in detail in the figures.
  • the cartoner as described above, ensures the final folding of the instructions, the positioning of the latter in the packaging 7 as well as the product 6.
  • FIGS. 6A to 6D show the different folding steps, known in themselves, of the notices made up of sections such as the section 31 of FIG. 3.
  • the folding is carried out by the station 11, known in itself (figure 3).
  • the notice 31 consists of two sheets 31A and 31B assembled by one of their longitudinal edges at 40 in the manner described above. This notice undergoes a first transverse folding in the middle along a line 41, the two halves being folded down substantially towards one another. The two half-sides thus produced on either side of the separation line 41, each in turn undergoing two folds along lines 42 and 43 respectively on the one hand, and 44 and 45 on the other hand, to form a kind of accordion shown in Figure 6B. The notice is then folded, still in accordion, to form a tongue 46, having a longitudinal direction, arrow I, and a transverse direction, arrow t, (FIG. 6C).
  • FIG. 6D There is shown in Figure 6D the final folding step of the manual in the longitudinal direction I, to form a sort of U, having two parallel lateral branches 47 and 48, and a transverse base 49 in the direction t.
  • the interior of the U defines a volume 50 inside which is capable of accommodating the product 6 such as a tube containing medicinal tablets (FIG. 2).
  • the aim is to produce printed documents 51 with several sheets 52a, 52b assembled.
  • These documents 51 are for example notices intended to be folded and placed with an object 53 in a container 54 such as a cardboard box or case.
  • the process also includes a step in which the paper strip is printed and then wound up to form the roll 56.
  • the printing 57 on the strip 55 is carried out in such a way that after the various phases of the process, the text and the indications appearing on the printed documents 51 follow one another.
  • two sub-bands 55a, 55b are superimposed assembled together on one of their common longitudinal edges 58. These two sub-bands 55a, 55b come from the band 55.
