Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for attaching drinking straws explained in the preamble of claim 1 Art.
  • Such a device is known from DE 197 45 855.
  • the known device uses a transfer device in the form of a rotary drum, on the circumference of a drinking straw band is supplied, which consists of still contiguous packaging of individually wrapped straws.
  • the drinking straw contains pre-applied adhesive dots, which are initially covered with a masking tape.
  • the masking tape is removed from the adhesive dots and separated the straw arrangements, preferably cut so that then by the roller, supported by a Andschreibfinger on each bag each a drinking straw can be adhered.
  • the known device is designed for applying drinking straws to standing on a conveyor belt conveyed stand-up bag, wherein the transfer device encloses a right angle with the conveying surface.
  • US-A-4 584 819 discloses a device for attaching a drinking straw to a receiving surface of a bottomed, substantially parallelepipedic container. When passing the drinking straw the container is on its bottom and the drinking straw is applied to a receiving surface which extends substantially perpendicular to the conveying surface.
  • the transfer device for drinking straws or the like. Is tilted to ensure a diagonal attachment of drinking straws on the vertical receiving surface.
  • US-A-4 584 046 discloses a device for attaching drinking straws or the like to containers having a floor standing.
  • the containers are either cuboid or have a trapezoidal cross-section.
  • the containers stand with their bottom on the conveying surfaces, and the drinking straw is applied to that surface which adjoins the standing on the conveying surface bottom surface.
  • self-standing bags have no parallel side surfaces, but consist of two rectangular pieces of foil which are fastened along their longitudinal edges, and which have an inserted or molded floor in the region of their lower transverse edges and welded directly adjacent to each other in the region of their upper transverse edges, so that a substantially triangular longitudinal section results.
  • Both in a standing promotion as well as a lying promotion thus are the attachment surfaces on the bag not parallel to the conveying surface and thus not parallel to the transfer device for the Drinking straws. Normally, this does not disturb, as well as the well-functioning devices of the prior art show.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to improve a device for attaching drinking straws to stand-up pouches such that their conveying speed is increased.
  • the inventive design of the movement of the drinking straws can be shortened and the drinking straws can be spent in a parallel movement without changing the angle of the transfer device to the bag.
  • the speed increases achieved thereby are in the range of fractions of seconds, in a mass product such as stand-up pouches, and at the high throughputs that reach modern Beutelbehell- and packaging systems, even such a low speed increase leads to a more economical result.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show a device 1 for applying drinking straws 2 on a receiving surface 3 a of floor bags 3.
  • the floor bags are lying horizontally transported on a Horizontat toneband 4 in the direction perpendicular to the illustration in Fig. 1, wherein the top of Horizontal conveyor 4 forms a substantially horizontal conveying surface 4a.
  • the device 1 comprises a transfer device 5 which has a transfer drum 6 which is driven in rotation by a motor 7 about a rotation axis 6a.
  • the transfer drum 6 has at its periphery recesses 8, which can each receive one of the drinking straws 2.
  • the drinking straws 2 are welded individually in packagings 9a which, before reaching a cutting device 10, are still connected in a continuous drinking straw band 9.
  • the packagings 9a are already provided with sticking points which are protected by a masking tape 11.
  • the drinking straw band 9 is fed by feeding devices, not shown, pressed by a pressure roller 12 against the transfer drum 6, while the cover strip 11 is withdrawn via a roller 13 which is driven synchronously with the transfer drum 6 by the motor 7.
  • the transfer drum 6 is associated with a transfer finger 14 which is movable about a pivot arm 15 in the direction of the double arrow and the separated by the cutter 10 packaging 9a together with the drinking straw 2 presses on the receiving surface 3a of lying on the conveyor 4 bag so that the splices can adhere.
  • the axis of rotation 6a of the transfer drum 6 is inclined by an angle ⁇ relative to the conveying surface 4a.
  • the angle ⁇ is smaller than 90 ° and preferably corresponds to the angle ⁇ at which the receiving surface 3a is inclined to the conveying surface 4a when the standing-bottom bag 3 is transported lying on the conveying surface 4a.
  • This angle ⁇ further corresponds approximately to the angle which the receiving surface encloses with the opposite surface of the bag 3, which rests on the conveying surface 4a. Since stand-up bags filled with beverages are not exactly form-retaining, since they usually consist of plastic film or aluminum (laminate) film, the angle ⁇ can also be determined as an average value.
  • the bottomed bags 3 are fed in a continuous row on the conveyor 4 of the transfer device 5, the transfer drum 6 is rotated synchronously with the conveying speed of the conveyor 4 about the axis 6a, the drinking straw 9 is fed continuously, the cover strip 11 is continuous removed, the individual packages 9a are cyclically separated by the cutting device from the drinking straw band 9 and pressed by the Andrückfinger 14 intermittently on the receiving surface 3a of the stand-up pouch.
  • the transfer drum 6 may be formed as a suction drum. Also, two adjacent transfer drums can be used which are spaced apart from one another to allow the finger 14 to operate between the drums so as to provide even better support for the singulated drinking straw packages 9.
  • the drinking straw 9a applies exactly parallel to the receiving surface 3a on this, so does not have to perform a sliding and folding movement, as was previously necessary. In this way, the conveying movement can be further accelerated.
  • the device according to the invention can also be used for applying drinking straws standing on raised floor bag, only there must be set the angle of inclination to the larger acute angle that occupies the receiving surface to the conveying surface and about 90 ° minus is half the inclusion angle between the receiving surface and the opposite surface of the stand-up pouch.
