In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung zeigt der Schieber an der Klappe ein Rückhalteorgan in Form eines Bolzens, das beim Einfahren des Schieberkopfes in den Beutelhals diesen Beutelhals rafft und dadurch ein weiteres Einfahren des Schieberkopfes in den Beutel verhindert und den Beutel von der Halterung des Beutelstapels abreißt; dieses ist insbesondere bei empfindlichen weichen Waren von Vorteil, da diese dann nicht durch den Schieber fest gegen den Beutelboden gedrückt werden können und dadurch einer Beschädigung unterliegen würden, sondern nach dem Abreißen des Beutels schonend verschoben werden. In an advantageous embodiment, the slide on the Fold a retainer in the form of a bolt that when Moving the slider head into the bag neck this bag neck gathers and thereby a further retraction of the slide head in prevents the bag and the bag from the holder of the Tear off the stack of bags; this is particularly the case with sensitive soft goods is an advantage, as these are not Slider can be pressed firmly against the bottom of the bag and would be subject to damage as a result, but after Tear off the bag can be moved gently.

Die Klappe und das Rückhalteorgan sind von einfachen und kostengünstigen Bauteilen gebildet und erbringen einen gesteigerten Gebrauchswert für die Verpackungsvorrichtung.The flap and the retainer are simple and formed inexpensive components and provide one increased use value for the packaging device.

Der Schieber kann demzufolge nur mit einer Klappe ausgestattet sein, oder mit der Klappe und dem Bolzen. Dieses ist entsprechend den Verpackungsvorgängen und Kundenwünschen wählbar. In vorteilhafter Weise ist der Schieber mit der Klappe und dem Rückhalteorgan ausgestattet, so daß er die beiden Funktionen in sich vereint. Die Klappe wird immer erst durch den Druckmittelzylinder in die Spannstellung gebracht, wenn der Beutelhals vor dem Rückhalteorgan liegt oder durch dieses gerafft worden und vom Stapel gelöst ist. The slide can therefore only be equipped with one flap be, or with the flap and the bolt. This is according to the packaging processes and customer requirements selectable. The slide with the flap is advantageous and the restraining device so that it can hold the two Functions combined. The flap is always through the Pressure cylinder brought into the clamping position when the Bag neck is in front of or through the restraint organ has been gathered and released from the stack.

Das nun ankommende erste zu verpackende Brot wird durch den Förderer (2) zwischen den Spreizorganen (6) hindurch und teilweise in den geöffneten Beutel (1) hineingeschoben.The now arriving first bread to be packed is by the Conveyor (2) between the expansion members (6) and partially pushed into the opened bag (1).

Der Schub- und Schwenkarm (10) ist dabei bereits nach unten geschwenkt und hinter dem Brot eine gewisse Wegstrecke nachgelaufen und der Schieberkopf (11) wirkt nun mit seiner Schubfläche (12) auf das Brot ein und schiebt es weiter in den Beutel (1) bis zum Beutelboden hinein, wobei gleichzeitig die Lösung des Beutels (1) von der Halterung (4) durch Abreißen erfolgt und der Schieberkopf (11) sich im Bereich des Beutelhalses (10) befindet.The push and swivel arm (10) is already down panned and behind the bread a certain distance ran after and the slide head (11) now works with his Push surface (12) onto the bread and push it further into the Bag (1) to the bottom of the bag, at the same time the Detach the bag (1) from the holder (4) by tearing it off takes place and the slide head (11) in the area of Bag neck (10) is located.

Unmittelbar hinter den Spreizorganen (6) wird der Arm (10) mit Saugluft versorgt, wodurch der Schieberkopf (11) durch seine Sauglöcher (13) die Luft aus dem Beutel (1) heraussaugt und dabei der Beutel (1) fest (stramm) um das Brot gezogen wird und dabei der Beutelhals (1a) sich ebenfalls fest um den Schieberkopf (11) legt.Immediately behind the expansion members (6) the arm (10) is with Suction air supplied, whereby the valve head (11) through its Suction holes (13) suck the air out of the bag (1) and the bag (1) is pulled tight around the bread and the bag neck (1a) is also firmly around the Slider head (11) sets.

Durch diese Saugwirkung liegt das Brot in Längsrichtung fest am Beutelboden an, und der Beutel (1) ist praktisch vakuumverpackt um das Brot herumgezogen. In dieser Stellung hat der Schieber (5) mit seinem Schieberkopf (11) das Brot mit dem Beutel (1) übernommen; das heißt, die weitere Transportbewegung des Brotes mit Beutel (1) erfolgt durch den Arm (10) mit dem Schieberkopf (11), und das Brot wird bis zum Verschließorgan (8) vom Schieber (S) zwischen den Führungen (7) hindurchgeschoben.Due to this suction effect, the bread lies firmly in the longitudinal direction Bag bottom, and the bag (1) is practically vacuum packed pulled around the bread. In this position the slide has (5) with his pusher head (11) the bread with the bag (1) accepted; that is, the further transport movement of the bread with bag (1) through the arm (10) with the slide head (11), and the bread is up to the closing member (8) by the slide (S) pushed between the guides (7).

Nach dem Verschließen des Beutels (1) wird das verpackte Brot vom Schieber (S) abgenommen (durch Abstreifen), und dann wird das Brot abgeführt.After closing the bag (1), the packed bread removed from the slider (S) (by stripping), and then the bread drained away.

Der Schieber (S) bewegt das Brot zum Verpacken geradlinig, schwenkt nach dem Verpacken in die in Fig. 4 gezeigte, strichpunktierte Stellung hoch und über das nachfolgende Brot zurück und dann wieder in die in vollen Linien gezeigte Stellung in Fig. 4 nach unten zum erneuten Brotvorschub.The slider (S) moves the bread straight for packing, pivots after packaging into that shown in FIG. dash-dotted position up and over the following bread back and then back to the position shown in full lines 4 down to the new bread feed.

Da für ein rationelles Verpacken mit hohen Geschwindigkeiten gefahren wird, könnte durch die auftretenden Fliehkräfte das Brot mit dem Beutel (1) vom Schieberkopf (11) abrutschen und wegfliegen, was insbesondere auch beim lockeren Verpacken mit weniger oder keiner Saugluft entstehen könnte. Hiergegen wirkt die Klappe (16), indem sie in die Schließstellung durch den Druckmittelzylinder (20) nach unten geschwenkt ist und den Beutelhals (1a) zwischen ihrer Klemmkante (16a) und dem Schieberkopf (11) einspannt, wie in Fig. 5 gezeigt.As for efficient packaging at high speeds is driven, could be caused by the centrifugal forces Slide the bread with the bag (1) off the slider head (11) and fly away, especially with loose packaging less or no suction air could arise. Counteracts this the flap (16) by moving it into the closed position Pressure cylinder (20) is pivoted down and the Bag neck (1a) between its clamping edge (16a) and the Slider head (11) clamps, as shown in Fig. 5.

Das Rückhalteorgan (23) verhindert insbesondere beim empfindlicheren Verpackungsgut, wie weichen Backwaren (Croissant, Weißbrot, Toast), ein zu starkes Hineinpressen dieses Gutes in den Beutel (1) und gegen den Beutelboden, indem der in den Beutelhals (1a) einfahrende Schieberkopf (11) mit seinen Rückhaltebolzen (23) den Beutelhals (1a) gegen weiteres Aufschieben auf den Schieberkopf (11) sperrt, den Beutelhals (1a) rafft (in Falten legt) - Fig. 6 - und dabei beim Weiterfahren des Schiebers (S) mit dem Beutel (1) den Beutel (1) von der Halterung (4) abreißt, wodurch ein Zusammendrücken des Verpackungsgutes ausgeschlossen wird.The retention member (23) prevents especially when more sensitive packaging goods, such as soft baked goods (Croissant, white bread, toast), over-pressing this good in the bag (1) and against the bag bottom by the slider head (11) moving into the bag neck (1a) its retaining bolt (23) against the bag neck (1a) Sliding on the slide head (11) locks the bag neck (1a) gathers (folds) - Fig. 6 - and at the same time Moving the slide (S) with the bag (1) the bag (1) tears off the bracket (4), causing a compression of the Packaged goods are excluded.

Gemäß Fig. 7 ist unter der Klappe (16) hinter deren Klemmkante (16a) eine den Beutelhals (1a) auf den Schieberkopf (11) drückende Klemmleiste (25) aus flexiblem und/oder elastischem Material, wie Gummi oder Kunststoff, festgelegt.7 is under the flap (16) behind the clamping edge (16a) the bag neck (1a) on the slide head (11) pressing terminal block (25) made of flexible and / or elastic Material such as rubber or plastic.

Die Klemmleiste (25) liegt dabei in einer die Klemmkante (16a) bildenden Ausformung (16b) der Klappe (16) und steht nach unten über die Klemmkante (16a) vor, so daß die Klemmleiste (25) den Beutelhals (1a) zwischen sich und dem Schieberkopf (11) einklemmt. Somit ersetzt die Klemmleiste (25) die Klemmkante (16a), und die Klappe (16) ist ohne eine Klemmkante (16a) ausgeführt. Selbstverständlich kann die Klappe (16) auch mit einer Klemmleiste (25) und einer Klemmkante (16a) ausgestaltet sein, so daß beide Teile (16a, 25) zusammen arbeiten.The clamping strip (25) lies in a clamping edge (16a) forming formation (16b) of the flap (16) and stands down over the clamping edge (16a), so that the clamping strip (25) the Bag neck (1a) between itself and the slide head (11) clamps. The clamping strip (25) thus replaces the clamping edge (16a), and the flap (16) is without a clamping edge (16a) executed. Of course, the flap (16) can also be used a terminal block (25) and a clamping edge (16a) be so that both parts (16a, 25) work together.

Die Klemmleiste (25) verbessert das Klemmverhalten der Klappe (16) entscheidend und trägt aufgrund ihres Materials zu einer Geräuschminderung bei den Klemmvorgängen bei.The clamping strip (25) improves the clamping behavior of the flap (16) crucial and contributes to one due to its material Noise reduction during the clamping processes.

Die Klemmleiste (25) hat in bevorzugter Weise einen eckigen, wie trapezförmigen Querschnitt; sie kann aber auch einen dreieckigen, quadratischen oder bogenförmigen Querschnitt haben.The terminal block (25) preferably has an angular, like trapezoidal cross-section; but it can also do one triangular, square or arcuate cross-section.
