Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of restocking with corrugated tape a machine for applying fasteners to bagged products, in which machine the reel of tape is fed so as to be applied to the products by unwinding it from a support that comprises a spool around which the tape is wound and the ends of which are fitted with corresponding opposite discs.
- the invention also relates to a pack of corrugated tape for implementing this method.
- bagged products is taken as meaning, in a general manner, those products - whether foodstuffs or otherwise - which are sold in generally hermetically sealed packets consisting of packaging which is applied so as to be in contact with the product and comprises bags or wrappers made of various materials; within the general scope of this definition, specific reference will henceforth be made to packets of bagged products of the type in which the end is closed in a sealed manner by means of fasteners consisting of metal bands, known in the art as clips.
- the abovementioned support for the reel of wound corrugated tape essentially comprises a spool, the ends of which have two opposite discs which enable the said tape to be contained laterally on account of the fact that, as a result of its thickness and corrugated shape, it has a certain degree of elasticity which means that in certain respects it behaves like a spring and is, therefore, difficult to hold in the reel-wound configuration.
- the corrugated tape is produced by winding it directly on to the support; the latter, together with the reel wound on to it, therefore has a dual function: the first is to form the pack by means of which the tape is transported from its site of production to its final destination, while the second, which has already been discussed, is to act as an element from which the tape is fed to the fastener-applying machines and which can be replaced like a cartridge once the tape has been used up.
- the technical problem that forms the basis of this invention is how to remedy the situation: more specifically, the invention aims to devise a method for restocking with corrugated tape a machine for applying fasteners to bagged products such as the machine referred to above, in which method the operational stages make it possible to overcome the disadvantages encountered in the prior art and pointed out previously.
- the invention also includes a pack for implementing the method referred to, this pack also being defined in the claims appended to this description.
- Fig. 1 shows a pack 1 according to the invention that comprises a corrugated tape 2 of the type conventionally used to apply fasteners to bagged products; this tape is wound in a reel and held in this wound configuration by suitable means, in this case consisting of bands 5 which are closed, for example, by heat sealing or in some other way.
- suitable means in this case consisting of bands 5 which are closed, for example, by heat sealing or in some other way.
- bands could easily be substituted with other fixing means such as a plastic film, for example shrink-wrap film, wrapped around the reel, or yet other means.
- the internal diameter of the reel of corrugated tape is slightly greater than the external diameter of a spool 6a of a support 6 for the corrugated tape which is installed on a machine A for applying fasteners to bagged products, which machine is diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 2; this machine is known per se - except, of course, for the support 6 - and will not therefore be discussed in any further detail in the remaining text.
- the support 6 includes two lateral discs 6b and 6c, the first of which is fixed while the second can be removed from the spool; more specifically, on the internal circumference of the spool 6a there are elements 8 for fixing the removable disc 6c which consist of plates situated at 120° from each other relative to the centre of the spool 6a and are attached to the latter by means of bolts 3. These plates have corresponding ends 8a that project from the spool 6a and define a groove into which the internal edge of the disc 6c snap-fastens (see Fig. 3); in this case also the elements for fixing the removable disc could be different from those shown, depending on the various options chosen to enable the disc to be quickly removed from and repositioned on the support spool.
- the method according to the invention is implemented in the following stages.
- the pack of corrugated tape is formed by winding it in a reel and fastening it with the bands 5 so as to produce the pack 1 referred to above; the pack thus formed is then conveyed to the fastener-applying machine.
- the reel of corrugated tape is transferred on to the support 6: more precisely, on account of the fact that the disc 6c can be removed and that the internal diameter of the reel of corrugated tape is slightly greater than the external diameter of the spool 6a of the support, the reel of corrugated tape can be mounted on the support itself.
- the bands 5 are then cut off so that the corrugated tape 2 can be unwound from the support 6 in order to be fed to the machine A.
- the disc 6c is repositioned on the support 6 by snap-fastening it on to the plates 8 located on the latter so that the fastener-applying cycle can take place in a manner known per se; in fact, once the disc 6c has been attached to the rest of the support 6, the latter is functionally equivalent to those usually used in the prior art.
- the support 6, in which a spool is provided with two discs, at least one of which can be removed from the said spool, plays a vital role in achieving these results: indeed, it is because of this support that it is possible to use a pack for the corrugated tape which has been reduced to its essential components and has been made using the minimum amount of disposable material possible - namely, the bands 5.
- the support 6 since the support 6 is not used to transport the corrugated tape, it can be made of any material, without giving rise to the disadvantages encountered previously. In other words, it may be said that, within the method of the invention, the support 6 becomes a component of the fastener-applying machine, which means that it is possible to use a disposable pack for transporting the tape.

Claims (6)
- Method of restocking with corrugated tape (2) a machine (A) for applying fasteners to bagged products and the like, in which machine the reel of corrugated tape (2) is fed so as to be applied to the products by unwinding it from a support (6) that comprises a spool (6a) around which the tape (2) is wound and the ends of which are fitted with corresponding opposite discs (6b, 6c), characterized in that it comprises the following operational stages in combination:forming the support (6) such that at least one of the said discs (6b, 6c) can be removed from the spool (6a);forming a pack (1) of corrugated tape (2) in which the latter is wound in a reel and held in this configuration, and in which the internal diameter of the reel is slightly greater than the external diameter of the spool (6a) of the support (6);transferring the tape (2), still wound in a reel, on to the support (6) after having detached the removable disc (6c) from the support (6).
- Method according to Claim 1, in which the removable disc (6c) snap-fastens on to the remaining part of the support (6).
- Method according to Claim 1 or 2, in which the reel of corrugated tape is secured radially and the binding is undone in order to feed the tape to the machine (A).
- Pack for implementing the method according to any one of Claims 1, 2, 3, comprising means (5) for keeping the tape (2) wound on the spool (6a).
- Pack according to Claim 4, in which the said means consist of a plurality of bands (5) which are wrapped around the outside of the tape (2) and the spool (6a).
- Pack according to Claim 4, in which the said means consist of a plastic film wrapped around the reel of corrugated tape.
