Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for inserting a means of fixing in a plate or strip of flexible material intended to form a package.
  • the method according to the invention is notably remarkable in that it consists to arch the plate or strip in the transverse direction to the direction of its groove so as to spread his lips, to introduce the fixing means and to put back substantially flat said plate or strip so that said lips return to their positions initials.
  • the plate or strip is further moved in the longitudinal direction at its throat during the transverse arching and flattening, while, for example, the plate or strip is guided before its camber by at least one means introduced into its throat.
  • the lips of the throat are crushed after flattening of the plate or strip.
  • the fixing means used is, for example, in the form of a strip or similar, although this means of attachment can obviously arise in other forms (cables, %)
  • the invention also provides an apparatus which is particularly remarkable in that it includes a cambering means transverse of the plate or strip, a means of introducing the fixing element and a means for flattening the plate or strip as well as means for drive the plate or strip in the longitudinal direction to its throat.
  • the cambering means consists of two superimposed wheels whose rims respectively have a concave face and a substantially convex face, the plate or strip being intended to pass between said wheels, its groove facing the concave rim wheel.
  • the means for introducing the element of fixing consists of a guide ramp for supplying said element, the end of said ramp reaching in the vicinity of the bending wheels and between these, and by a circular rib formed on the concave wheel so that said rib can press the fastener during bending.
  • the means for flattening the plate or strip comprises straightening wings which gradually pass from an oblique position towards a substantially flat position, while the apparatus further comprises means for holding in position of the fixing element arranged above the wings of straightening and which is in the form of a bar.
  • the apparatus may also include an initial means for maintaining and guiding the plate or strip, arranged upstream of the cambering means with respect to the direction displacement of the plate or strip and which is in the form of a cylinder on which passes said plate or strip, and a roller provided to come to rest in the bottom of the groove of said plate or strip.
  • an alignment guide can also be provided under shape of a bar.
  • a means of crushing the lips of the throat under in the form of pressure cylinders is arranged downstream of the flattening means.
  • the means for driving the plate or strip in the longitudinal direction at its groove are for example constituted at least in part by the motorization of at least one of the wheels of the cambering means and / or of the initial cylinder for holding and guiding and / or at least one of the crushing cylinders of the lips of the throat.
  • the device can also be remarkable in that that the cylinder of the initial holding and guiding means and one of the cylinders of the crushing means comprise a peripheral circular groove for the passage of the substantially square return of the plate or strip.
  • a plate or strip 1 of flexible material provided a groove 2 formed or comprising two lips 2a and 2b which partially close said groove 2 and into which a strip 3 or the like is inserted.
  • Throat 2 is arranged longitudinally and in a straight line.
  • the invention therefore recommends arching the plate or strip 1 transversely to the direction of its groove 2, to be inserted the strip 3 and flatten said plate or strip.
  • the invention proposes the apparatus shown more specifically on the Figures 2 and 3, for continuously inserting said fixing element according to the method recalled above, other features of which will appear following the description of the device that will follow.
  • the apparatus comprises an initial means for maintaining and guide comprising a cylinder 4 here motorized as will be explained below and a roller 5 free to rotate and for example subjected to an elastic means 6.
  • the strip 1 passes between the cylinder 4 and the roller 5 which rolls in the groove of the strip ( Figure 4).
  • an alignment guide has been provided in the form of a bar 7 which is housed in the groove 2 as shown in Figure 5.
  • the device Downstream of the bar 7, the device comprises the means for bending the strip 1 in the form here of two superimposed wheels 8 and 9 between which passes said strip 1.
  • the rims of the wheels 8 and 9, as shown in Figure 6, have respectively a concave face (wheel 8) and a substantially convex face (wheel 9), the groove 2 of the strip 1 being turned towards the concave wheel 8 so that the band 1 is arched transversely as shown in said figure 6.
  • the strip 3 is supplied from a reserve, for example in the form a coil 10 ( Figure 3), by a guide ramp 11 ( Figures 2 and 3), of which the end arrives in the vicinity of the wheels 8 and 9 while said concave wheel 8 has a circular central rib 12 ( Figure 6) so that it can support on the strip 3 and position it in the groove 2.
  • a reserve for example in the form a coil 10 ( Figure 3)
  • a guide ramp 11 Figures 2 and 3
  • said concave wheel 8 has a circular central rib 12 ( Figure 6) so that it can support on the strip 3 and position it in the groove 2.
  • a means for holding in position of the strip 3 is arranged in the form of a bar 14.
  • the strip 1 is thus flattened out and passes between two pressure cylinders 15, 16 (FIGS. 2, 3 and 8) intended to crush the assembly for closing the lips 2a and 2b of the throat on the strip 3.
  • the wheel 8 of the means of bending and the cylinder 15 of the crushing means are stressed (like the roller 5 previously described) by elastic means, shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 1 and 2 by springs such as 17 and 18 respectively.
  • the plate or strip 1 is provided with a substantially square return 1 'in order to form a angle.
  • the initial guide cylinder 4 ( Figures 2 and 4) and the cylinder 16 crushing means ( Figures 2 and 8) have a circular groove or groove peripheral respectively 4 'and 16' for the passage of the square return 1 'of the plate or strip 1.
  • the plate or strip After guiding by the alignment guide 7, the plate or strip is arched transversely ( Figures 2, 3 and 6) while the strip 3 is deposited in continuous in the groove 2 of the plate or strip by the guide ramp 11.
  • the assembly is then flattened by the straightening wings 13 and the holding bar 14 ( Figures 2, 3 and 7) before passing between the cylinders 15 and 16 crushing lips 2a, 2b of throat 2 ( Figures 1, 2, 3 and 8), the return 1 'is housed in the groove 16 'of the cylinder 16.
  • the plate or strip 1 thus equipped can be used to constitute any type packaging thus provided with an incorporated fixing means.
  • a protective packaging can be produced in the form of a ring to at least partially encircle a cylindrical object.
  • a strip provided with a substantially square return as shown, one can protect for example the end of a tube or a pipe.
