Definitions
- This device is designed to cut strips of posters for advertising panels with prisms rotating around axes vertical, which allow the support of 3 posters on the same panel.
- This device comprises means for advancing step by step from the poster to the edge of which adhesive tape is adhered. The poster edge is then cut out. After cutting, the cut strip, laminated of a ribbon, can then be transferred laterally and wound on a coil.
- Such a device is a first attempt at preparation poster strips to stick on the prisms of billboards. he has the disadvantage of being relatively slow, however. Must wait that a cut strip, provided with its adhesive tape, is completely ready to move it aside and take the poster one step further.
- the adhesive tape must be applied to the poster, be spread between two distant rollers of more than one width poster, that is to say ⁇ 3 m. This causes problems by the fact that as a result of temperature, humidity or problems static electricity, the adhesive tape tends to bend in section cross. Despite a heating of the adhesive tape, it does not remain stable.
- the present invention aims to improve the device and the process as described at the beginning, in particular by increasing their rate and therefore their performance, making operations simultaneous.
- This process thus allows advancement of the poster to cut while the cut strip is not yet fully exit from the mechanism in which the posters are brought and cut.
- the transfer includes a lowering of the strip cut in a parallel plane to the progress plan of the poster, and a displacement of the strip as well lowered transversely to the direction of advancement of the poster.
- the cut strip is lowered a certain distance below the poster's progress plan, freeing up the space needed to the advance of a new strip to be cut.
- adhesion between the unrolled adhesive tape and the cut strip takes place during the movement transverse to the direction of advancement of poster.
- the adhesion is done laterally, next to the frame which supports the means of advancement of the poster, and the transfer of the tape cutting therefore takes place particularly quickly.
- a device for cutting posters for the implementation of the method according to the invention, comprising means for advancing step by step a poster in a plane, in a direction, means for cutting the poster into parallel strips, transverse to the direction of advance, means for unwinding an adhesive tape, means for winding up cut poster strips, on one face of which said ribbon adheres, means for transferring each cut strip at a distance from the poster progress plan, and adhesion means for adhering the adhesive tape and the cut strip, transferred, for said winding, the poster advance means advancing the latter by one step to cut a strip while the transfer means transfer a previously cut strip, and possibly while the adhesion means adhere the adhesive tape and this previously cut strip.
- Figures 1 and 2 show a side view of a device according to the invention in two successive positions.
- Figure 3 shows a sectional view along line III-III of Figure 1, in an intermediate position.
- FIG. 4 represents a view of the means of adhesion and winding of an alternative embodiment of the following device the invention.
- FIG. 1 to 3 The installation shown in Figures 1 to 3 includes step-by-step advance of a poster in a plane, in the sense of arrow F.
- these means include lower conveyor belts 1 on the upper strands from which the poster sections 2 are placed, the image upwards, and are connected in a known manner by an operator.
- upper conveyor belts 3 which slide the poster section 2 to a support table 4 cut.
- the support table 4 is itself supported so fixed on a frame 8.
- the section poster is at a knife 5, which in the example illustrated is represented schematically by a simple vertical line.
- This knife 5 can be any knife shape suitable for cut sheets of paper, for example a blade or roller cut moved horizontally across the poster or a guillotine system passed vertically through the poster.
- a receiving table 6 In a plane lower than the plane of the support table 4 is arranged a receiving table 6 whose upper wall 7 is parallel on display.
- this table is a housing having an internal cavity 10 which is in communication by a conduit 9 with a source of vacuum not shown which preference works continuously.
- the wall 7 is perforated, at least in part of its surface, and it therefore allows aspiration of objects placed on this part with perforations.
- a supply reel 11 of adhesive tape 12 is arranged on one side of the cutting device so as to unwind the ribbon transverse to the direction F of advancement of the poster.
- This tape can be formed from an adhesive support made of a material any suitable, for example paper, synthetic material, such as polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyester, etc ... and an adhesive material applied to this support, beforehand or when the ribbon passes through the device according to the invention.
- This tape is preferably a double-sided adhesive tape, one side of which is protected by a detachable covering strip.
- Ribbon 12 is unwound from the reel 11 towards the upper wall 7 of the table reception 6 via a set of tension rollers 13, 13 ' so that its face provided with a covering strip is arranged down.
- the tape is perfectly applied flat against the wall 7 by the permanent aspiration created by the arrangement of the table reception 6, and it presents upwards its adhesive side, not provided a covering strip.
- an element of guide 14 is supported on an angle 15 connected to a piston rod 16 of a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder 17.
- the jack 17 is supported on the frame 8 by support blocks 18 and 19 between which is also arranged a sliding rod 20.
- the free end of the piston rod 16 is fitted with a ring eccentric 21 capable of sliding axially on the sliding rod 20, by preventing rotation of the piston rod 16 around its axis, and therefore keeping the horizontal wing of the angle iron 15 in its plane.
- the guide element 14 is slightly bevelled to receive the cutting strip 22, which comes from leave the support table 4 and which is therefore overhanging. As and as the strip to be cut advances, this is straightened in a substantially horizontal plane.
- the strip to be cut is then below a vacuum housing 23 having a cavity 24 in communication, by the conduit 25, with a source of vacuum not shown.
- Wall lower 26 of this housing is perforated. When a depression is created inside the cavity 24, the cut strip 22 can be vacuumed against the wall 26.
- the housing 23 is supported on a fixed support 27 shown schematically through, for example, a lever 28 represented by a dashed line. By an appropriate command, no shown, the lever 28 can be raised or lowered and drive rotation of the vacuum housing between a high position shown on the FIG. 1 and a low position shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 3, the housing 23 is in the intermediate position.
- the cutting device as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, operates as follows.
- Poster sections 2 are interconnected on the conveyor belts 1 so as to form a complete poster. This is advanced in the direction of arrow F with a front edge corresponding to the height side of the poster.
- a poster height can for example be about 3 m, but this dimension is not critical for the invention.
- a drive motor not shown does not drive step by step conveyor belts 1 and 3, in a synchronized manner.
- the poster formed 2 also advances step by step, supported first on the strip 1 and then on the support table 4. Each step has a value equivalent to the width of the fins forming the prisms of the support poster intended for the poster to be cut. The step can for example be about 130 mm.
- the strip to cut 22 is no longer supported and is cantilevered, having tendency to hang slightly.
- the front edge of the cutting strip 22 meets the bevel of the guide element 14 which is in the advanced position by the jack 17.
- the front edge is thus straightened so that the cutting strip 22 is at proximity to the perforated bottom wall 26 of the vacuum housing 23 which extends over the entire length of the strip 22. The latter is thus sucked at the same time as it is cut by the knife 5.
- the the cut strip remains suspended by suction from the housing 23.
- the jack 17 then actuates a withdrawal of the piston rod 16 and therefore of the guide element 14, which allows lowering without obstacle of the vacuum housing 23, under the action of control means not shown acting on lever 28.
- the various elements of the device are in the position shown in Figure 2. In this position, the bottom wall 26 of the vacuum housing 23 is applied to the receiving table 6, and the strip has was thus transferred remotely from the poster progress plan.
- the adhesive tape double-sided is unrolled transversely on the reception table 6 with an adhesive side up and an adhesive side protected by a coating strip down.
- the tape is applied flat on the face 7 of the table 6, by the permanent suction created through the perforations of this face.
- the vacuum housing 23 When the vacuum housing 23 is in the low position, it therefore apply uniformly, on a completely flat adhesive tape, the poster strip already cut out.
- Control means not shown interrupt then the operation of the vacuum source which is in communication with the cavity of the vacuum case 23. Then the vacuum case is raised in its upper position, without the poster strip cut out which remained adhered to the adhesive tape. Simultaneously the element of guide 14 is advanced by jack 17.
- the poster can be advanced a new step.
- the adhesive tape provided with the cut strip 31 is laterally transferred from a distance at least greater than the length of the cut strip, to be wound into a reel 29, passing for example by means of a set of tension rollers 30, 30 '.
- the poster can therefore already be advanced one next step, while the lateral displacement of the previously cut strip is not yet completed. We obtain thus an increase in the cadence of the device compared to the prior art.
- Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment improved cutting device according to the invention, in a view similar to Figure 3.
- the means of advance of the poster, cutting it into strips and lowering strips cut are identical to those shown in Figures 1 to 3 and therefore they have not been represented again in this figure 4, for reasons of ease of reading.
- the reception table 32 can be a suction table analogous to the reception table 6, the upper face 33 of which is parallel to the poster's progress plan. On this upper face can slide the upper strand of a perforated endless conveyor belt 34 which revolves around the two deflection rollers 35 and 36. One of these rollers is rotated by a motor not shown. grace to the perforations of the carpet 34 and to the evacuation of the table 32, the cut poster strip moves perfectly and at the same time than the carpet.
- the means of unwinding the adhesive tape 37 are formed from a reel feed 38 and a set of deflection rollers 39 to 41 which bring the tape on the periphery of an adhesion roller 42.
- the adhesion means include this roller of adhesion 42 and a pressure roller 43 applied to the roller 42. Between these two rolls each strip of cut paper 47 and the adhesive tape 37 are brought and glued to each other.
- the winding means comprise a reel of reception 44 on which the adhesive tape with strips is wound of cut posters, successive 48 as well as a set of rolls of reference 45 and 46.
- the endless belt transfers transversely, into the direction of arrow f, the strip cut out. It is only during this lateral transfer that the cut strip is caused to adhere to the ribbon adhesive.
- control and drive means and the engines have not been represented because they are part of knowledge of the skilled person.
Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à un procédé de découpage d'affiches en bandes, comprenant
- un avancement pas à pas d'une affiche dans un plan suivant une direction,
- un découpage de l'affiche en bandes parallèles, transversalement à la direction d'avancement,
- un déroulement d'un ruban adhérent, et
- un enroulement des bandes d'affiche découpées, sur une face desquelles adhère ledit ruban, ainsi qu'à un dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre d'un tel procédé.
- step by step advancement of a poster in a plane following a direction,
- cutting the poster into parallel strips, transverse to the direction of travel,
- unwinding of an adhesive tape, and
- a winding of cut poster strips, on one side of which adheres said ribbon, as well as to a device for implementing such a method.
On connaít un dispositif mettant en oeuvre un dispositif de genre (voir le brevet FR-B-2631577).We know a device implementing a device genre (see patent FR-B-2631577).
Ce dispositif est conçu pour découper en bandes des affiches pour panneaux publicitaires à prismes tournant autour d'axes verticaux, qui permettent le support de 3 affiches sur un même panneau. Ce dispositif comprend des moyens d'avance pas à pas de l'affiche au bord de laquelle on fait adhérer un ruban adhésif. Le bord d'affiche est alors découpé. Après le découpage, la bande découpée, contrecollée d'un ruban, peut ensuite être transférée latéralement et enroulée sur une bobine.This device is designed to cut strips of posters for advertising panels with prisms rotating around axes vertical, which allow the support of 3 posters on the same panel. This device comprises means for advancing step by step from the poster to the edge of which adhesive tape is adhered. The poster edge is then cut out. After cutting, the cut strip, laminated of a ribbon, can then be transferred laterally and wound on a coil.
Un dispositif semblable est également décrit dans la WO-A-91/13424. A similar device is also described in WO-A-91/13424.
Un tel dispositif est une première tentative de préparation des bandes d'affiche à coller sur les prismes de panneaux publicitaires. Il présente toutefois l'inconvénient d'être relativement lent. Il faut attendre qu'une bande découpée, pourvue de son ruban adhésif, soit tout à fait prête pour pouvoir l'écarter et avancer d'un nouveau pas l'affiche.Such a device is a first attempt at preparation poster strips to stick on the prisms of billboards. he has the disadvantage of being relatively slow, however. Must wait that a cut strip, provided with its adhesive tape, is completely ready to move it aside and take the poster one step further.
De plus le ruban adhésif doit, pour être appliqué sur l'affiche, être étendu entre deux rouleaux distants de plus d'une largeur d'affiche, c'est-à-dire sur ± 3 m. Ceci entraíne des problèmes par le fait que, à la suite de la température, de l'humidité ou de problèmes d'électricité statique, le ruban adhésif à tendance à se courber en section transversale. Malgré une chauffe du ruban adhésif, celui-ci ne reste pas stable.In addition, the adhesive tape must be applied to the poster, be spread between two distant rollers of more than one width poster, that is to say ± 3 m. This causes problems by the fact that as a result of temperature, humidity or problems static electricity, the adhesive tape tends to bend in section cross. Despite a heating of the adhesive tape, it does not remain stable.
La présente invention a pour but d'améliorer le dispositif et le procédé tels que décrits au début, notamment en augmentant leur cadence et donc leur rendement, en rendant les opérations simultanées.The present invention aims to improve the device and the process as described at the beginning, in particular by increasing their rate and therefore their performance, making operations simultaneous.
Pour résoudre ce problème, on prévoit, suivant l'invention, un procédé de découpage d'affiches tel qu'indiqué au début, comprenant en outre
- après chaque découpage d'une bande, un transfert de celle-ci à distance du plan d'avancement de l'affiche, et
- une adhésion entre le ruban adhérent et la bande découpée, en vue dudit enroulement,
- ledit avancement de l'affiche d'un pas pour découper une bande suivante ayant lieu pendant le transfert susdit de la bande qui vient d'être découpée, et éventuellement pendant l'adhésion susdite.
- after each cutting of a strip, a transfer of the latter at a distance from the progress plan of the poster, and
- adhesion between the adhesive tape and the cut strip, for said winding,
- said advancement of the poster by one step to cut a next strip taking place during the aforementioned transfer of the strip which has just been cut, and possibly during the abovementioned adhesion.
Ce procédé permet ainsi un avancement de l'affiche à découper alors que la bande découpée n'est pas encore totalement sortie du mécanisme dans lequel les affiches sont amenées et découpées. This process thus allows advancement of the poster to cut while the cut strip is not yet fully exit from the mechanism in which the posters are brought and cut.
Suivant un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le transfert comprend un abaissement de la bande découpée dans un plan parallèle au plan d'avancement de l'affiche, et un déplacement de la bande ainsi abaissée transversalement à la direction d'avancement de l'affiche. La bande découpée est ainsi abaissée d'une certaine distance en dessous du plan d'avancement de l'affiche, en libérant l'espace nécessaire à l'avance d'une nouvelle bande à découper.According to one embodiment of the invention, the transfer includes a lowering of the strip cut in a parallel plane to the progress plan of the poster, and a displacement of the strip as well lowered transversely to the direction of advancement of the poster. The cut strip is lowered a certain distance below the poster's progress plan, freeing up the space needed to the advance of a new strip to be cut.
Suivant un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, l'adhésion entre le ruban adhérent déroulé et la bande découpée a lieu pendant le déplacement transversal à la direction d'avancement de l'affiche. Ici, l'adhésion se fait latéralement, à côté du bâti qui supporte les moyens d'avancement de l'affiche, et le transfert de la bande découpée s'effectue donc particulièrement rapidement.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, adhesion between the unrolled adhesive tape and the cut strip takes place during the movement transverse to the direction of advancement of poster. Here, the adhesion is done laterally, next to the frame which supports the means of advancement of the poster, and the transfer of the tape cutting therefore takes place particularly quickly.
D'autres modes de réalisation du procédé suivant l'invention sont indiqués dans les revendications annexées.Other embodiments of the following method the invention are indicated in the appended claims.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent une vue latérale d'un dispositif suivant l'invention dans deux positions successives.Figures 1 and 2 show a side view of a device according to the invention in two successive positions.
La figure 3 représente une vue en coupe suivant la ligne III-III de la figure 1, dans une position intermédiaire.Figure 3 shows a sectional view along line III-III of Figure 1, in an intermediate position.

Sur les différentes figures les éléments identiques ou analogues sont indiqués par les mêmes références.In the different figures the identical elements or analogues are indicated by the same references.
L'installation représentée sur les figures 1 à 3 comporte des
moyens d'avance pas à pas d'une affiche dans un plan, dans le sens de
la flèche F. Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré ces moyens comportent
des bandes transporteuses inférieures 1 sur les brins supérieurs
desquels les sections d'affiche 2 sont posées, l'image vers le haut, et
sont reliées de manière connue par un opérateur. On peut
avantageusement envisager des bandes transporteuses supérieures 3
qui font glisser sur une table de support 4 la section d'affiche 2 à
découper. La table de support 4 est elle-même supportée de manière
fixe sur un châssis 8. Au bord avant de la table de support, la section
d'affiche se trouve au niveau d'un couteau 5, qui dans l'exemple illustré
est représenté schématiquement par une simple ligne verticale. Ce
couteau 5 peut être n'importe quelle forme de couteau appropriée pour
découper des feuilles de papier, par exemple une lame ou roulette à
découper déplacée horizontalement à travers l'affiche ou encore un
système de guillotine passé verticalement à travers l'affiche.The installation shown in Figures 1 to 3 includes
step-by-step advance of a poster in a plane, in the sense of
arrow F. In the illustrated embodiment, these means include
lower conveyor belts 1 on the upper strands
from which the
Dans un plan inférieur au plan de la table de support 4 est
agencée une table de réception 6 dont la paroi supérieure 7 est parallèle
à l'affiche. Ainsi qu'il ressort de la figure 3, cette table est un boítier
présentant une cavité interne 10 qui est en communication par un
conduit 9 avec une source de dépression non représentée qui de
préférence fonctionne en permanence. La paroi 7 est perforée, au moins
dans une partie de sa surface, et elle permet donc une aspiration des
objets posés sur cette partie présentant des perforations.In a plane lower than the plane of the support table 4 is
arranged a receiving table 6 whose
Une bobine d'alimentation 11 en un ruban adhésif 12 est
agencée d'un côté du dispositif de découpage de manière à dérouler le
ruban transversalement à la direction F d'avancement de l'affiche.
Ce ruban peut être formé d'un support d'adhésif en une matière
appropriée quelconque, par exemple du papier, une matière synthétique,
telle que du polypropylène, du chlorure de polyvinyle, du polyester,
etc...et d'une matière adhésive appliquée sur ce support, préalablement
ou au moment du passage du ruban dans le dispositif suivant l'invention.
Ce ruban est de préférence un ruban adhésif double face dont une face
est protégée par une bande de revêtement détachable. Le ruban 12 est
déroulé de la bobine 11 vers la paroi supérieure 7 de la table de
réception 6 par l'intermédiaire d'un jeu de rouleaux tendeurs 13, 13' de
manière que sa face pourvue d'une bande de revêtement soit disposée
vers le bas. Le ruban est parfaitement appliqué à plat contre la paroi 7
par l'aspiration permanente créée par l'agencement de la table de
réception 6, et il présente vers le haut sa face adhésive, non pourvue
d'une bande de revêtement. A
Au-dessus de la table de réception 6, on peut observer,
dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur la figure 1, un élément de
guidage 14. Cet élément de guidage 14 est supporté sur une cornière 15
reliée à une tige de piston 16 d'un vérin hydraulique ou pneumatique 17.
Le vérin 17 est supporté sur le châssis 8 par des blocs de support 18 et
19 entre lesquels est aussi agencée une tige de coulissement 20.
L'extrémité libre de la tige de piston 16 est équipée d'un anneau
excentré 21 capable de coulisser axialement sur la tige de coulissement
20, en empêchant une rotation de la tige de piston 16 autour de son axe,
et donc en maintenant l'aile horizontale de la cornière 15 dans son plan.
Du côté situé en face du couteau, l'élément de guidage 14 est
légèrement biseauté pour recevoir la bande à découper 22, qui vient de
quitter la table de support 4 et qui se trouve donc en porte-à-faux. Au fur
et à mesure de l'avancement de la bande à découper celle-ci est
redressée dans un plan sensiblement horizontal.Above the reception table 6, we can observe,
in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, an element of
La bande à découper se trouve alors en dessous d'un
boítier à vide 23 présentant une cavité 24 en communication, par le
conduit 25, avec une source de dépression non représentée. La paroi
inférieure 26 de ce boítier est perforée. Quand une dépression est créée
à l'intérieur de la cavité 24, la bande découpée 22 peut être aspirée
contre la paroi 26.The strip to be cut is then below a
Le boítier 23 est supporté sur un support fixe 27 représenté
de manière schématique par l'intermédiaire par exemple d'un levier 28
représenté par un trait mixte. Par une commande appropriée, non
représentée, le levier 28 peut être levé ou abaissé et entraíner en
rotation le boítier à vide entre une position haute représentée sur la
figure 1 et une position basse représentée sur la figure 2. Sur la figure 3,
le boítier 23 est en position intermédiaire.The
Le dispositif de découpage, tel qu'illustré sur les figures 1 à 3, fonctionne de la manière suivante. The cutting device, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, operates as follows.
Des sections d'affiche 2 sont reliées entre elles sur les
bandes transporteuses 1 de manière à former une affiche complète.
Celle-ci est avancée suivant le sens de la flèche F avec un bord avant
correspondant au côté hauteur de l'affiche. Une hauteur d'affiche peut
par exemple être d'environ 3 m, mais cette dimension n'est pas critique
pour l'invention. Un moteur d'entraínement non représenté entraíne pas
à pas les bandes transporteuses 1 et 3, de manière synchronisée.
L'affiche formée 2 avance aussi pas à pas, supportée d'abord sur la
bande 1 et ensuite sur la table de support 4. Chaque pas a une valeur
équivalente à la largeur des ailettes formant les prismes du support
d'affiche prévu pour l'affiche à découper. Le pas peut par exemple être
d'environ 130 mm.
Lorsque l'affiche est avancée d'un pas, alors que son bord
avant se trouve au bord avant de la table de support 4, la bande à
découper 22 n'est plus supportée et se trouve en porte-à-faux, en ayant
tendance à pendre légèrement. Au fur et à mesure du pas, le bord avant
de la bande à découper 22 rencontre le biseau de l'élément de guidage
14 qui se trouve en position avancée par le vérin 17. Le bord avant est
ainsi redressé de façon que la bande à découper 22 se trouve à
proximité de la paroi inférieure perforée 26 du boítier à vide 23 qui
s'étend sur toute la longueur de la bande 22. Celle-ci est ainsi aspirée
vers le haut en même temps qu'elle est découpée par le couteau 5. La
bande découpée reste suspendue par aspiration au boítier 23.When the poster is advanced one step, while its edge
front is at the front edge of the support table 4, the strip to
cut 22 is no longer supported and is cantilevered, having
tendency to hang slightly. As the step progresses, the front edge
of the cutting strip 22 meets the bevel of the
Le vérin 17 actionne alors un retrait de la tige de piston 16
et donc de l'élément de guidage 14, ce qui permet un abaissement sans
obstacle du boítier à vide 23, sous l'action de moyens de commande non
représentés agissant sur le levier 28. A la fin de l'abaissement du boítier
23, les différents éléments du dispositif se trouvent dans la position
représentée sur la figure 2. Dans cette position, la paroi inférieure 26 du
boítier à vide 23 est appliquée sur la table de réception 6, et la bande a
été ainsi transférée à distance du plan d'avancement de l'affiche.The
Ainsi qu'il est représenté sur la figure 3, le ruban adhésif
double face, est déroulé transversalement sur la table de réception 6
avec une face adhésive vers le haut et une face adhésive protégée par
une bande de revêtement vers le bas. Le ruban est appliqué bien à plat
sur la face 7 de la table 6, par l'aspiration permanente créée à travers les
perforations de cette face.As shown in Figure 3, the adhesive tape
double-sided, is unrolled transversely on the reception table 6
with an adhesive side up and an adhesive side protected by
a coating strip down. The tape is applied flat
on the
Lorsque le boítier à vide 23 est en position basse, il
applique donc de manière uniforme, sur un ruban adhésif tout à fait plat,
la bande d'affiche déjà découpée.When the
Des moyens de commande non représentés interrompent
alors le fonctionnement de la source de dépression qui est en
communication avec la cavité du boítier à vide 23. Puis le boítier à vide
est remonté dans sa position haute, sans la bande d'affiche découpée
qui est restée adhérer sur le ruban adhésif. Simultanément l'élément de
guidage 14 est avancé par le vérin 17.Control means not shown interrupt
then the operation of the vacuum source which is in
communication with the cavity of the
Dès que ces éléments ont retrouvé leur position initiale,
représentée sur la figure 1, l'affiche peut être avancée d'un nouveau pas.
Pendant ce temps, le ruban adhésif muni de la bande découpée 31 est
transféré latéralement d'une distance au moins supérieure à la longueur
de la bande découpée, pour être enroulé en une bobine 29, en passant
par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'un jeu de rouleaux tendeurs 30, 30'.As soon as these elements have returned to their original position,
shown in Figure 1, the poster can be advanced a new step.
Meanwhile, the adhesive tape provided with the
Dans cet exemple de réalisation, l'affiche peut donc déjà être avancée d'un pas suivant, alors que le déplacement latéral de la bande découpée précédemment n'est pas encore achevé. On obtient ainsi une augmentation de la cadence du dispositif par rapport à la technique antérieure.In this exemplary embodiment, the poster can therefore already be advanced one next step, while the lateral displacement of the previously cut strip is not yet completed. We obtain thus an increase in the cadence of the device compared to the prior art.
La figure 4 représente une variante de réalisation perfectionnée du dispositif de découpage suivant l'invention, dans une vue semblable à la figure 3. Les moyens d'avance de l'affiche, de découpage de celle-ci en bandes et d'abaissement des bandes découpées sont identiques à ceux représentés sur les figures 1 à 3 et par conséquent ils n'ont pas été représentés à nouveau sur cette figure 4, pour des raisons de facilité de lecture.Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment improved cutting device according to the invention, in a view similar to Figure 3. The means of advance of the poster, cutting it into strips and lowering strips cut are identical to those shown in Figures 1 to 3 and therefore they have not been represented again in this figure 4, for reasons of ease of reading.
Ici la table de réception 32 peut être une table d'aspiration
analogue à la table de réception 6, dont la face supérieure 33 est
parallèle au plan d'avancement de l'affiche. Sur cette face supérieure
peut glisser le brin supérieur d'un tapis transporteur sans fin 34 perforé
qui tourne autour des deux rouleaux de renvoi 35 et 36. L'un de ces
rouleaux est entraíné en rotation par un moteur non représenté. Grâce
aux perforations du tapis 34 et à la mise sous vide de la table 32, la
bande d'affiche découpée se déplace parfaitement et en même temps
que le tapis.Here the reception table 32 can be a suction table
analogous to the reception table 6, the
Dans l'exemple de réalisation suivant la figure 4, les
moyens de déroulement du ruban adhésif 37 sont formés d'une bobine
d'alimentation 38 et d'un jeu de rouleaux de renvoi 39 à 41 qui amènent
le ruban sur la périphérie d'un rouleau d'adhésion 42.In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, the
means of unwinding the
Les moyens d'adhésion comprennent ce rouleau
d'adhésion 42 et un rouleau presseur 43 appliqué sur le rouleau 42.
Entre ces deux rouleaux chaque bande de papier découpée 47 et le
ruban adhésif 37 sont amenés et collés l'un à l'autre.The adhesion means include this roller
of
Les moyens d'enroulement comprennent une bobine de
réception 44 sur laquelle s'enroule le ruban adhésif muni de bandes
d'affiche découpées, successives 48 ainsi qu'un jeu de rouleaux de
renvoi 45 et 46.The winding means comprise a reel of
reception 44 on which the adhesive tape with strips is wound
of cut posters, successive 48 as well as a set of rolls of
Ce dispositif illustré sur la figure 4 fonctionne de la même
manière que le dispositif illustré sur la figure 3 à cette différence
importante qu'il n'y a pas d'adhésion entre le ruban et la bande
découpée à la fin de l'abaissement de celle-ci sur le plan de la table de
réception 32.This device illustrated in Figure 4 works the same
so that the device illustrated in Figure 3 with this difference
important that there is no adhesion between the tape and the tape
cut at the end of the lowering of the latter on the
Dès que le boítier à vide 23 commence son ascension vers
sa position haute, le tapis sans fin transfère transversalement, dans le
sens de la flèche f, la bande découpée. Ce n'est que pendant ce
transfert latéral que la bande découpée est amenée à adhérer au ruban
adhésif.As soon as the
Il en résulte que le découpage de la bande d'affiche
suivante peut déjà avoir lieu pendant l'étape d'adhésion de la bande
précédente et que le mouvement du boítier à vide 23 peut être prévu
beaucoup plus rapide, puisque cet élément n'a plus la fonction
d'appliquer et de coller la bande découpée sur un ruban adhésif. Un
risque de courbure du ruban adhésif en section transversale sur la faible
distance entre le rouleau de renvoi 41 et le rouleau d'adhésion 42 est
quasiment exclu.It follows that the cutting of the poster strip
next can already take place during the band adhesion step
previous and that the movement of the
Il doit être entendu que la présente invention n'est en aucune façon limitée aux modes et formes de réalisation indiqués ci-dessus et que bien des modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir du cadre des revendications annexées.It should be understood that the present invention is not in in no way limited to the embodiments and embodiments indicated above and that many modifications can be made without depart from the scope of the appended claims.
Il faut par exemple entendre ruban adhésif dans son sens le plus large, l'adhésion pouvant se faire non seulement par un liant, mais aussi par des moyens d'accrochage, par exemple de type Velcro.You should for example hear adhesive tape in its direction the widest, adhesion being able to be made not only by a binder, but also by attachment means, for example of the Velcro type.
Les moyens de commande et d'entraínement et les moteurs n'ont pas été représentés car ils font partie des connaissances de l'homme de métier. On peut aisément imaginer une synchronisation des différents mouvements par un ordinateur central.The control and drive means and the engines have not been represented because they are part of knowledge of the skilled person. One can easily imagine a synchronization different movements by a central computer.
On peut aussi imaginer sur le dispositif illustré à la figure 4
que seule la partie droite sur le dessin de la table 32 présente une
aspiration. Le tapis transporteur sans fin 34 pourrait être supprimé et le
ruban adhésif provenant de la bobine 38 pourrait être alimenté au centre
ou dans la partie gauche de la table 32. Cela permettrait une adhésion
partielle de la bande découpée, un entraínement de celle-ci suivant la
direction f par le ruban adhésif et l'application de celui-ci sur toute la
bande pendant cet entraínement.We can also imagine on the device illustrated in Figure 4
that only the right part in the drawing of table 32 has a
aspiration. The
