Definitions

  • the invention concerns an apparatus for introducing photographic pictures and film strips, and in particular index prints, into a job pouch that has a picture pocket and a film-strip pocket, comprising one conveying device in each case for the pictures, for the film strips, and for the index print, and a support plate for the job pouch that is to be loaded.
  • index print is simply deposited onto the picture/film pocket loaded with pictures and film strips, before the closure flap is flipped closed over the index print and this unit is then placed in the customer job pouch.
  • a new job pouch with a modified configuration has now been introduced in the territory of the European Union.
  • This new job pouch combines the picture/film pouch and the customer job pouch into a one-piece job pouch.
  • the closure flap of this new job pouch is equipped with an adhesive closure.
  • the index print can no longer be deposited between the closure flap and the pockets loaded with pictures and film strips, since in that location it would interfere with the adhesive closure.
  • This circumstance makes it necessary for the index print also to be housed inside the job pouch in the pocket for the pictures. An operation of this kind is not possible with the known machine that is being used.
  • the conveying device for the index print is movable from a horizontal starting position in order to receive the index print, into a vertical position, holding the job pouch on the support plate, in order to deliver the index print into the picture pocket; and that the upper side of the picture pocket can be acted upon by a flow of compressed air.
  • the conveying device is configured such that the one for the index print has a frame and a deposition plate, pivotably mounted in the latter, having a holding device for the index print; that a compressed-air apparatus directed toward the support plate is provided on the conveying device; that the latter is movable about a shaft out of its horizontal starting position into its vertical position and can be lowered onto the support plate; and that in order to deliver the index print into the picture pocket of the job pouch, the deposition plate is pivotable out of the vertical position about a pivot axis into an inclined oblique position.
  • the deposition plate With the conveying device in this vertical position, the deposition plate is located opposite the opening of the picture pocket of a job pouch lying on the support plate; as a consequence of a flow of air delivered by the compressed-air apparatus, the picture pocket is opened and held open on the one hand because of the negative pressure generated by the flow of air on the upper side of the picture pocket, and on the other hand by the flow of air reflected from the deposition plate and penetrating into the picture pocket.
  • the deposition plate Upon delivery of the flow of compressed air by the compressed-air apparatus, the deposition plate is pivotable out of its vertical position into an oblique position inclined with respect to the opening of the picture pocket, the deposition plate having a bracket, extending almost over the width of the picture pocket, that engages into the picture pocket when the deposition plate is in the pivoted oblique position.
  • the index print can be reliably placed into the picture pocket even with the packaging machines hitherto used for pictures and film strip, with no damage to the pictures already present in the job pocket.
  • a conveying device 100 for conveying an index print into a customer job pouch 12 already loaded with pictures and film strips comprises a frame 10 in which a deposition plate 11 is mounted, pivotably by way of a compressed-air cylinder 14, about a fulcrum 13.
  • a clamping plate 15 is arranged on deposition plate 11 in such a way that by way of articulated pieces 17 mounted articulatedly on frame 10, it can on the one hand be lifted away from deposition plate 11 in order to deposit an index print 25 on deposition plate 11, and on the other hand can be lowered onto deposition plate 11 in order to clamp index print 25 in place.
  • Articulated pieces 17 are acted upon and moved by a linear actuator cylinder 18.
  • a slider 16 guided on deposition plate 11 in longitudinal slots 31, for removing index print 25 from deposition plate 11.
  • Slider 16 is movable by way of a pusher cylinder (not depicted) via a crank linkage 35.
  • bracket 24 Provided at the free end of deposition plate 11 and extending over the latter's width is a bracket 24 whose width is adapted to the internal width of a picture pocket 22 of job pouch 12.
  • the emission direction of nozzle 33 is directed, at an acute angle that can be between 25 and 85 degrees, frontally toward deposition plate 11.
  • a support plate 30 is provided inside the packaging machine in order to support a job pouch 12 that is to be loaded with pictures, film strips, and index print 25.
  • Job pouch 12 comprises picture pocket 22, a film pocket 32, and a closure flap 34.
  • An adhesive closure 36 for sealing job pouch 12 is provided between closure flap 34 and the side of job pouch 12 on which picture pocket 22 and film pocket 32 are arranged.
  • Conveying device 100 is arranged so as to pivot about a shaft 23 out of its horizontal starting position for receiving an index print 25 into its vertical position for delivering index print 25 to job pouch 12.
  • conveying device 100 While the developed and cut pictures are being conveyed to picture pocket 22, and the film (cut into strips) into film pocket 32, conveying device 100 is in its horizontal starting position as depicted in Figs. 1 and 3. In this position, clamping plate 15 is in its opened state and an index print 25 can be conveyed via a transport apparatus 40 to conveying device 100, and deposited on deposition plate 11. Clamping plate 15 is then lowered by way of linear actuator cylinder 18 back onto deposition plate 11, and clamps index print 25 in place on the latter.
  • Frame 10 with deposition plate 11 of conveying device 100 is then rotated 90 degrees about shaft 23 into a vertical position (see Fig. 2), by way of a drive (not depicted) engaging on a pivot lever 28, and lowered onto support plate 30.
  • the vertical movement of the conveying device is accomplished by way of a gated guide that is joined to a flange 27 mounted immovably on shaft 23. With conveying device 100 in the vertical position, job pouch 12 is held on support plate 30 by frame 10.
  • Deposition plate 11 then returns from the inclined oblique position into its vertical position, and conveying device 100 returns from its vertical position into its horizontal starting position, in order to receive the next index print 25.
  • Closure flap 34 is folded over upper side 21, i.e. over picture pocket 22 and film pocket 32, and job pouch 12 is thereby sealed by way of adhesive closure 36. The loaded job pocket 12 is then transported off to an output container.
  • the decisive feature of the subject matter of the invention is the fact that it is possible, by way of a negative pressure generated by a flow of compressed air, to open the already loaded picture pocket 22 to such an extent that bracket 24 can engage into picture pocket 22 and open the latter sufficiently wide that index print 25 can be added, subsequently and additionally, to the pictures already present in picture pocket 22.
