Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing (cigarette) packs with one on at least one packing surface glued band.
  • the invention further relates to a device for performing the method.
  • Cigarette packets are usually provided with a banderole, ie a strip-shaped blank made of paper or similar thin material. Usually it is about a tax stamp.
  • the banderole can also be used as a means used to close the pack.
  • the banderoles are usually on at least one packing area, but mostly "through a corner" Adhesive attached to the pack.
  • the invention has for its object, banderoles within Can be attached to (cigarette) packs for a shorter period of time.
  • the method according to the invention is used to achieve this object characterized in that (immediately) after attachment the sleeve on the pack heat and pressure to fix the Banderole are applied to this.
  • the invention is based on the finding that problems with Attaching the banderoles arise mainly from the fact that the Glue or glue is not sufficient to secure the sleeve hardens quickly.
  • heat is primarily on the Banderole and thus applied to the glue that has not yet set, in connection with pressure. This can cause the glue harden within a very short time so that a stable Connection of the banderole with the package is given.
  • the device for carrying out the method is designed that directly in the area of a banderole unit to apply the (glued) banderole to the package or then a heated one in a separate station Pressure element acts on the banderoles, namely these under Presses heat transfer to the pack.
  • the pressure organ preferably consists of a rotating carrier with several namely in particular two print segments that are clocked in a position with temporary attachment to the pack in the area the sleeve are movable.
  • the pressure organ or the segments can be designed so that with the transfer of heat and pressure at the same time a folding step on the banderole is when one leg of the banderole in the plane another packaging area.
  • the cigarette pack 10 is to be provided with a band 13 become. In the present case, this is on a front side 14 to apply the cigarette pack 10, in the area a closing edge 15 between box part 11 and lid 12.
  • the band 13 is dimensioned and arranged in the present case so that a leg 16 is formed, which laterally over the front 14 protrudes and into the plane of a side surface 17 must be folded.
  • the front 14 is for recording the banderole 13 directed upwards.
  • the cigarette packs 10 are shown in FIG. 1 on a Pack conveyor 18 - in particular a (tooth) belt Cam - transported at equal distances from each other.
  • the Front 14 is directed upwards.
  • a banderole apparatus 19 This takes individual banderoles 13 from a banderole magazine 20.
  • the banderoles are provided with glue on one side in the area of a gluing unit 21.
  • the banderoles prepared in this way 13 are the continuously promoted cigarette packs fed.
  • a banderole transmitter 22 transmits the individual Banderoles 13 each on a cigarette pack 10, the glued side of the cigarette pack 10 facing is.
  • the relative position of the cigarette packs 10 in The area of the pack conveyor 18 is selected such that the longitudinal extent points transversely to the conveying direction, i.e. an elongated one Side surface 17 the back of the cigarette packs 10 forms.
  • the pack conveyor 18 can be designed as a belt conveyor.
  • the cigarette packs 10 on a fixed base 23 by a Endless conveyor transported, namely by a chain 24 with drivers 25 arranged at equal distances from one another.
  • the cigarette packs 10 moved past a stabilizing unit, namely on a printing unit 26.
  • a stabilizing unit namely on a printing unit 26.
  • the printing unit 26 exists for this purpose from several, namely two segments 27, 28. These run along a circular path in the machine cycle. Each protruding thrust pieces 29 of the segments 27, 28 arrive the sleeve 13 to the system, the pressure pieces 29 due to of the same movements on the pack of cigarettes 10 or roll on the banderole 13.
  • the segments 27, 28 transfer heat to the bands 13, and contact heat through the pressure pieces 29.
  • the segments 27, 28 consist of a housing 30, which on the radially outer Side forms the pressure piece 29.
  • a heating means is arranged, namely a heating cartridge 31 in an elongated recess of the pressure piece 29 Heating cartridge 31 or the pressure piece 29 is assigned a thermostat 32, the temperature in the area of the pressure piece 29 detects and is connected to a central control unit.
  • Two segments 27, 28 are diametrically opposite one another connected to a segment carrier 33 which is driven on a Shaft 34 is arranged. This is driven in the machine cycle.
  • the embodiment shown is designed for two-lane operation with two packing lanes 35 side by side in parallel. Accordingly, two are in axial Pressure units 26 arranged at a distance from one another are provided, which are each assigned to a packing line 35, 36. The two Printing units 26 are connected to one another by the shaft 34. This in turn is driven by a shaft end 37, which is stored and driven in the machine housing 38. The shaft end 37 is connected to the Shaft 34 connected.
  • a co-rotating support disk 40 is arranged on the shaft end 37. This has (two) conductor tracks 41 for power transmission from a fixed power unit 42, the carbon brushes or others connected to the conductor tracks 41 by grinding Has current transmission organs.
  • the support disk 40 in turn is via electrical lines with a terminal box 43 connected. This is part of the rotating unit and over Power lines and control lines with segments 27, 28 or the heating cartridges 31 connected.
  • the segments 27, 28 are for example operated with 24V and at a controllable temperature heated from, for example, 140 ° C.
  • Cigarette pack 10 fixed between two holding members, namely between a rear driver 49 and one the opposite, side face of the packaging 10 effective counter-holder 50 Cigarette packet 10 during the folding of the leg 16 (if the conveyor movement continues).
  • the aim of pressing the band 13, the heat transfer and of the folding step through the folding nose 44 is the banderole 13 to fix in the final, packaged position.
  • At high cycle rates and / or corresponding adhesives is due to the Measures described in connection with FIG. 4 only a pre-folding or pre-positioning of the band 13 is achieved.
  • Folding and final fixation of the band 13 takes place in the area of the folding turret 48
  • Pack 10 in this folding turret 48 is the pre-folded, if applicable, legs 16 not yet resting against the side surface 17 pressed onto this surface and thus the attachment of the sleeve 13 completed on the package 10.
  • FIG. 1 Packages 10 from the package conveyor 18 to a lifting platform 51 handed over, each lifting an incoming package onto one Insertion level of the folding turret 48.
  • Movable slide 52 detects the pack 10 and promotes it - taking a blank (not shown) for the Outer wrapping of the pack - in a pocket of the folding turret 48.
  • the leg 16 may be on the side surface 17 pressed by the slider 52, that is Folding and positioning of the banderole 13 completed.
  • the heat for curing the glue can also be used in other ways transmitted, for example by radiant heat or through warm air, possibly in addition to the heated pressure unit 26.
  • the printing unit 26 can be used for adjustment and maintenance purposes can be moved by hand, specifically via a handle 45.
  • the cigarette packs 10 provided with the band are fed to a film apparatus 46. In the area of it is a cut around the cigarette packet from a film web 47 10 folded around as an outer wrapper, namely in Area of a folding turret 48. Finished cigarette packs emerge from this 10 out.
