Definitions

  • the invention initially relates to a stack of a plurality of one another connected bags made of plastic film, in particular vending machine bags, with a Filling opening and a one-sided flap, the stacking openings and at least one Has interface.
  • a pin stack conveyor is suitable as the collecting device with a pin stack conveyor chain moving in the horizontal direction, which picks up the separated bags on stacking pens.
  • a pin stack conveyor chain moving in the horizontal direction, which picks up the separated bags on stacking pens.
  • a wire bracket wicket
  • the Frayed "edge area of the flap not only gives the bag an unattractive appearance, but it is also added that the flap surface is no longer simply for securely fastening closure elements, such as adhesive labels or the like and / or as a surface for printing or for receiving information suitable is.
  • the wire clips may have to be used again to the assembler, d. H. transported back to the manufacturer of the bags, according to sizes sorted and, if necessary, processed so that they can be used again can.
  • the invention has for its object a stack of bags of the type mentioned to create, which does not require expensive aids and is therefore essential easier to handle, especially packaging and filling, and about characterized by an appealing appearance.
  • a device for the production and filling of blocked bags be created that does not require any complex aids.
  • the perforation is expediently torn open before the one to be packed Product is inserted into the bag. This makes it easy in the Hand to ensure an exact tear along the perforation lines.
  • the tearing of the perforation through the opening process can be precisely regulated, namely in that the design of the perforation lines, in particular their Angular position and / or strength and / or their continuous or shortened course between the side wall and the front edge of the flap and the opening process be coordinated when filling a bag.
  • the demolition position can preferably correspond to the opening position that is necessary to move a product or to fill in a bread.
  • the only the task of forming the bag opening which is roughly in shape and The current spreading device has dimensions of the product to be packaged two additional functions to the content, namely once the bag during the To record the packaging process and the opening movement on the other make the perforation completely or almost entirely through the expansion elements is broken up.
  • an adapter gives the possibility to hold the handrails in their Form the length so that several comparatively large stacks of bags are stacked on top of one another can be, so that overall productivity when packing is noticeably increased.
  • a stack of bags 1 has a conventional design in the area of a flap 2 Stack openings 3 through which a wire bracket 4 is inserted. With the help of Wire bracket and 5, not shown rubber stopper attached to the leg the bag stack can be held together more or less well.
  • Each bag has a filling opening, indicated by 6, through which the bag continues with a product, for example a bread or the like can be filled.
  • the flap 2 has in the area between the Stack openings 3 and an end edge 7 of the flap 2 a gate 8.
  • a stack of bags 1 according to FIG. 1 is usually placed in a collecting device with the Wire bracket 4 equipped and together with this and other aids such as Rubber stoppers, cover sheets etc. packed in boxes and sent to a bottling company.
  • the stack of bags 1 in a packaging machine for. B. a packing machine, held so that with the support of air and / or suction cups and a spreading device, the uppermost bag of the bag stack into one Open position is brought.
  • the product to be filled e.g. B. bread
  • the product to be filled is about the Filling opening 6 in the open bag, z. B. with the help of a not shown Slider inserted. Due to the pulling force generated, the bag is moved along of the gate 8 provided in the area of the stack opening, so that the Bag comes free from the stack of bags.
  • the linear tearing off of the bag makes it smooth Front edge 7 of the flap 2 excluded, d. H. the bag has because of the comparatively large holes in the stack and the tears have an unsightly appearance.
  • FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of a stack of bags formed according to the invention shown, which extends in the area of the flap 2 from obliquely to the filling opening 6
  • Perforation lines 9 has limited corner sections 11.
  • the perforation lines 9 run continuously from the side edges of the bags to the front edge 7 of the flap 2.
  • In the corner sections 11 there are blocking points 12, with the help of which bags made of plastic film are held together in the bag stack 1.
  • the Interlocking points 12 are designed as interlocking holes and thereby offer the Possibility of closer to the stack of bags in the packaging machine on a below to hang up or hold the described holding device.
  • Bag making machines serve stack openings 13 which are in one through the perforation lines 9 limited central area of the flap 2 are arranged and for example 2 are formed by pinholes. This means that the individual bags in of the collecting device are impaled on needles and so before blocking are initially held in position in the stack of bags 1. Instead of pinpricks can the stack openings 13 z. B. from cross slots 13 ', such as this is shown in Figures 2a and 3a.
  • FIG. 3 shows a single bag of the bag stack according to FIG. 2, that the perforation line 9 is not made up to the front edge 7 of the tab 2, Rather, an imperforate part remains, which is indicated by S in FIG.
  • This distance S can be varied in a packaging machine depending on the pulling force being held.
  • the angle of the perforation line 9 - as at 9 ' indicated - and finally the perforation strength can be varied. Based on these conceivable changes in the corner perforation can be - like that in more detail below is explained - a certain tearing behavior of the perforation lines 9 or 9 'optimal determine.
  • a bag is suitable for producing bags and bag stacks 1 according to the invention
  • Figure 4 shown bag making machine 14.
  • the latter can be designed, for example, as a flat film web 17.
  • the Flat film web 17 is within a processing state indicated only schematically 18 via guide rollers, not shown, accommodated therein, a folding device and Tensioning rollers guided.
  • the processing stand 18 has a bottom folding insert device 19 on.
  • a perforation 20 and a cross-hole punching device are located behind the processing stand 21 for the introduction of z.
  • the Hole punching device 21 is followed by a cross welding separating device 22 and a transfer device 23, to which there is finally a stacking device 24 with a pin stacking conveyor 25 connects.
  • a stacking device 24 with a pin stacking conveyor 25 connects.
  • an interlocking station 26 is arranged. One cannot address these Connect the unloading station for the blocked stack of bags 1.
  • FIG. 5 shows part of an automatic packaging machine 27.
  • the packing machine 27 has one Preparation station 28, which is upstream of a filling station 29 explained in more detail below and serves to prepare the stack of bags 1 for filling.

  • the stack of bags lies in the Filling position with its flap 2 of the top bag of the bag stack 1 at one Stop plate 36, one of which is a substantially horizontal web 37 in the area the flap 2 of the bag protrudes while the other, preferably vertical to the web 37 extending web 38 of the clamping plate, for example, a stop for the Front edge 7 represents the bag.
  • FIG Bag stack 1 shown separately, although it is actually with support rods 39 in the Blocking openings 12 of the stack of bags 1 is inserted.
  • the adapter has one Cross plate 41, on the side facing away from the support rods 39 fastening rods 42 are arranged.
  • the distance and diameter of the two support rods 42 corresponds to the dimensions of a conventional wire bracket (wicket), as previously used in Automatic packaging machines for filling automatic bags has been used.
  • An air-blowing device 43 belongs to the packaging machine (FIG. 7). Instead of blowing air, a suction device can also be provided. Furthermore is an opening device with a spreading device 48 is provided, the lower one Has spreading elements 49 and upper spreading elements 51 and - as from Figure 8 emerges - be inserted into the pre-opened filling opening 6 of the top bag can. By spreading the bag at least in the area of the filling opening 6 the Bags kept open from the side edge of the bag along the perforation lines 9 separated from the stack of bags ( Figure 9). The bag is closed by the filling opening alone the expansion elements of the spreading device and in the area of the flap 2 from the web 37 of the Clamping plate 36.
