Definitions

  • the invention relates to a labeling machine for wet glue labels according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • Generic labeling machines are known for example from DE 33 05 350 C2 or DE-PS 23 57 610 and are widely used in practice.
  • multiple labels have been used as labels.
  • additional information-containing sheets are arranged below the main label.
  • the main label is closed and, after being applied to the object to be labeled, can be opened via a tear line so that the additional information documents arranged below and carried by the main label can be read.
  • multiple labels have a clear, straight and straight front edge arranged on their left front, which can be used as a contact edge.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a labeling machine, namely a wet glue labeling machine, in which a label magazine is also provided, in which very differently designed labels can be inserted and in which, despite the different design of the multiple labels, a perfect separation and The individual label can be conveyed to the gluing and pressing device.
  • the machine should be quickly and easily operated by simple personnel to the different sizes, thicknesses and lengths of the multiple labels, so that with a labeling machine the most diverse containers can be provided with the most diverse multiple labels.
  • one edge of the label is used as the contact edge and that the label magazine is designed as a storage table, which is provided with a contact wall that extends over the entire length of the table, on which the edge of the label, preferably the front left, is now attached Edge that can be created.
  • means of transport for the labels are then provided above the storage table. For example, hand over label conveyors arranged above the system wall.
  • a conveyor table is provided next to the label conveyor, onto which the label conveyed by the label conveyor is delivered and on which the label is conveyed in the conveying direction of the label conveyor to a desired point, for example, again a contact wall, and then transversely to this conveying direction to the feed point of the Gluing and pressing device is promoted.
  • the individualized label can then be fed in the usual way to the container to be labeled in the gluing and pressing device belonging to the prior art.
  • an abutment wall on which the labels can be applied, is preferably arranged on the storage table perpendicular to the contact wall.
  • a counter-holder is provided on the storage table, which can be adjusted to the width of the label by simple adjustment and thereby ensures a secure mounting of the stack of labels.
  • vacuum suction cups are preferably used according to the invention, but instead of the vacuum suction cups the labels can be removed from above with frictional engagement or from below with frictional engagement. It is crucial that the individual label is transferred to the feed roller of the label conveyor, this label conveyor consisting of a feed roller and a counter roller and the feed roller preferably being provided with rubber rings. If vacuum suction cups are used, they are lowered onto the top label in the area of the contact wall, grasp the label, lift it up and swivel it in such a way that it can now transfer the front edge of the label to the feed roller.
  • the label On the conveyor table, on which the label is transferred from the label conveyor, the label is conveyed in the usual way to a desired point, for example again to a contact wall, and is then transversely to this direction of conveyance
  • the drivers are arranged on a carrier which can be moved back and forth via a pneumatic piston-cylinder arrangement.
  • Piston-cylinder arrangement with the carrier is in turn arranged on a holder which can be adjusted manually in the direction of the conveying direction of the piston-cylinder arrangement, i. H. it can be set to labels of different widths so that the stroke of the pneumatic piston
  • Cylinder arrangement can always be the same, regardless of how wide the label is, so that no complicated machine settings are required and a relatively inexpensive pneumatic piston-cylinder arrangement can be used.
  • Fig. 1 is a view of the labeling machine with storage table and transport means
  • Fig. 2 shows a section of Fig. 1
  • the vacuum cups are lowered to the front edge of the label
  • Fig. 3 the raised and swiveled vacuum cups
  • Fig. 4 is a view of the conveyor table with lying
  • a label magazine 1 can be seen, which is designed as a storage table 4 and has a contact wall 5, on which the front edge of a stack of labels with labels 3 is applied.
  • the side edge of the label rests on an abutment wall 9 and the label stack is held by counterholders 10 and 10a, which are easily adjustable by hand to the width of the label 3 or the label stack.
  • Vacuum suction devices 11 can be seen above the contact wall 5, a large number of which are arranged on a pivotable support 21.
  • a label conveyor 6 can be seen in FIG. 1, which has a feed roller 12 and a counter roller 14, the feed roller
  • the vacuum cups 11 can be used in a number adjustable to the size of the label.
  • Fig. 2 shows that the vacuum cups 11 are pivoted forward by pivoting the pivotable carrier 21 and lowered to the front edge of the label 3. Now the vacuum becomes effective in the suction heads of the vacuum suction cups 12 and - as shown in FIG. 3 - the suction cups lift the label, and by pivoting the pivotable carrier 21 the front edge of the label 3 is now fed to the label conveyor 6 such that this front edge between the feed rollers 12 and the counter rollers 14 arrive and can be conveyed away by this label conveyor 6.
  • FIG. 4 shows a view of a conveyor table 7 fed by the label conveyor 6, on which the label 3 is conveyed to a desired point, for example, again a contact wall 22. 4 shows part of a gluing and pressing device 2 and a label slot 8 into which the label 3 is to be transferred.
  • a carrier 18 Arranged below the upper side of the conveyor table 7 is a carrier 18 which carries drivers 16 which can be brought to bear against the rear edge 15 of the label 3, a holder 20 adjoining the carrier 18 which carries a pneumatic piston-cylinder arrangement 17 .
  • the holder 20 is adjustable in a rail 23.
  • the conveying direction of the label that comes from the label conveyor 6 is marked with X and the conveying direction of the label 3 by the drivers 16 with Y.
  • the conveying direction Y By conveying the label in the conveying direction Y, the label from the conveyor table 7 to the label slot 8 fed.
  • the carrier 18 with the holder 20 and thus with the pneumatic piston-cylinder arrangement 17 can be adjusted by hand in the direction of conveyance Y, so that this makes it possible to adjust the position of the drivers 16 to the width of the label 3 and, because of the Abutment wall 9 predetermined position of this edge of the label is specified, now only a relatively small stroke of the pneumatic piston-cylinder arrangement 17 is necessary to the label 3 the label slot
  • the pneumatic piston-cylinder arrangement 17 only ever needs the same feed path, ie a relatively small pneumatic piston-cylinder arrangement 17 can be used and an adjustment the stroke of this pneumatic piston-cylinder arrangement 17 is not required, but the position of the drivers 16 can be adapted to the respective label 3 by simple operating personnel, without the stroke of the pneumatic piston-cylinder arrangement 17 having to be adjusted.
