Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Trinkhalmanbringvorraum for attaching drinking straws to beverage containers according to the preamble of claim 1 and a corresponding method.
  • a drinking straw applying device is used in an automatic beverage filling plant for attaching a drinking straw to a beverage container, e.g. a filled and sealed foil bag at the end of the filling process.
  • a beverage container e.g. a filled and sealed foil bag at the end of the filling process.
  • foil bags are e.g. formed from two rectangular, welded together at three edges films between the fourth edge of a self-supporting film is welded.
  • a drinking straw is stung through one of the side foils or a corresponding insert.
  • the straws are brought by means of a feeder in the form of a continuous strand to the beverage container, which are transported on a corresponding transport path.
  • the straws of such a strand are usually aligned perpendicular to the transport direction.
  • the individual straws are either connected to a band that is detached or severed prior to application, or sealed in protective sheaths whose edges are joined to form a straw stem that is severed prior to application to the beverage containers at the welding edges.
  • the drinking straw is attached to the beverage container e.g. held by an adhesive previously applied to the beverage container, or an adhesive provided on the drinking straw band.
  • the US 4,584,046 discloses an apparatus for applying articles to packages, bottles or other objects according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the EP 0 909 710 A1 discloses a method and apparatus for attaching drinking straws to beverage bags.
  • the US 4,572,758 discloses an apparatus and method for attaching drinking straws in protective packaging to beverage containers.
  • a drinking straw application device has a feeding device for feeding the drinking straw band to the conveying path of the beverage container, against which the drinking straw band lies with a side which is not provided with an adhesive layer, wherein the feeding device at least in each case where a cutting device separates two drinking straws from each other, each having a recess which is matched in its height to the adhesive layer and whose height extent corresponds at least to the width of the adhesive layer.
  • the cutting means e.g. a knife blade
  • the cutting means e.g. a knife blade
  • Such recesses are advantageously used on a rotor as a feeder. On such a rotor are several straws at the same time.
  • the recesses which are located in the region of the feed device in the height of the adhesive layer, may be interconnected, so that a circumferential groove is formed on the circumference of the feed rotor. Such a circumferential groove is easy to manufacture and therefore inexpensive.
  • the cutting device simply comprises a knife, which is movable radially to the axis of the feed rotor.
  • the supply device comprises vacuum devices which hold the individual drinking straws by negative pressure at the feed device. In this way, complex mechanical holding mechanisms can be avoided.
  • the separate drinking straws can be pressed by means of a pressing on the beverage containers.
  • a particularly uniform attachment of the drinking straws is achieved with two pressing devices that engage in the upper and lower regions of the drinking straw to be pressed.
  • a third pressing device may be provided which engages the straw at the height of the adhesive layer.
  • the first circumferential groove which is provided at the level of the adhesive layer on the feed rotor, be designed so that the third pressing device projects into it and the feed rotor can still run free.
  • a further circumferential groove for receiving the third pressing device is accordingly not necessary.
  • a particularly simple embodiment provides that the pressing means of the feeder are pivotable about an axis fingers that press the respective drinking straw with its off-axis end to the beverage container.
  • the drinking straw bands may be tapes to which the drinking straws are attached, preference being given to hygiene reasons wrapped in protective sleeves drinking straws.
  • the corresponding protective covers can be designed such that they at the edges, each with an adjacent Protective cover for a further drinking straw are connected, so that in this way a band is formed.
  • the adhesive layer may e.g. be formed by an adhesive tape, which is applied to the drinking straw band. Such an adhesive tape is protected by a masking tape, which is removed from the adhesive tape before being applied to the beverage container. Particularly advantageous is a transfer adhesive tape in which the adhesive is not held by an additional carrier material.
  • two Trinkhalmanbringstationen are provided, each with a feeder, a cutting device and a corresponding number of pressing devices that provide the beverage containers, which are transported past the feeders, alternately with drinking straws.
  • FIG. 1 A preferred embodiment of the invention
  • Filled and sealed beverage containers 2 are eg on a conveyor belt 10 guided along the feeder.
  • 2b denotes a beverage container, which is not yet provided with a drinking straw
  • 2a denotes a foil bag, which is already provided with a drinking straw 4.
  • a drinking straw 6 is guided by pulleys 22.
  • the drinking straw band 6 comprises in the preferred embodiment drinking straws 4, which are welded into a protective cover 26. By vertical welds 28, the individual straws are separated.
  • a transfer adhesive tape 8 is applied with a height h2.
  • a view of the drinking straw band 6 showing the transfer adhesive tape 8 is in FIG FIG. 4 shown.
  • the transfer adhesive tape 8 is covered with a cover tape 8b, which is pulled off by a deflection roller 20.
  • the feed rotor 12 denotes a feed rotor with receptacles 24, whose shape is adapted to the drinking straws or the drinking straws in the protective covers.
  • 54 denotes vacuum holes which hold the drinking straws on the supply rotor 12 when subjected to vacuum.
  • the feed rotor 12 is provided with two circumferential grooves 56a and 56b. Another circumferential groove 58 is located between the two other circumferential grooves at a height corresponding to the adhesive tape 8.
  • a blade 14 which is movable radially with respect to the axis of the feed rotor 12 serves to cut through the drinking straw band 6. Where the knife 14 strikes the feed rotor 12 when the drinking straw band 6 is cut, a narrow, vertically extending groove may be provided therein for receiving the knife , in the FIG. 1 for the sake of clarity is not shown.
  • 16a and 16b denote pressing means, which are pivotally mounted about an axis 19.
  • Arrow direction 50 indicates in which direction the individual drinking straws are moved by the pressing devices 16a, 16b.
  • the grooves 56b and 56a between feed rotor 12 are selected in their dimensions so that the feed rotor 12 can rotate without being obstructed by the pressing means 16a and 16b which project into the grooves 56b and 56a.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the feed rotor 12 approximately along the line Q in FIG. 1 ,
  • the height of the middle groove 58 is designated h1 and is greater than the height h2 of the adhesive tape 8.
  • FIG. 3 shows a highly schematic plan view of the feed area of a drinking straw application device according to the invention.
  • 18 denotes the off-axis end of the pressing device 16b. Dashed lines indicate how this off-axis end 18 projects into the groove 56b of the feed rotor 12.
  • the beverage containers 2 are e.g. made of aluminum laminate films and have used, unfolding during filling bottom surfaces (floor), so that the beverage container 2 expand downwards and so provide space for drinks.
  • the illustrated device operates as follows:
  • FIG. 3 shown, filled foil bags 2, 2 a, 2 b are supplied from a filling and sealing of not shown in detail the Trinkhalmanbringvoriques using the conveyor belt 10.
  • the beverage containers 2 are aligned such that the side on which the drinking straw is to be mounted in each case, the feed device 12 faces.
  • a movement of the pressing devices 16a, 16b about the pivot axis 19 is triggered either by specifying the corresponding clock or by a sensor device of no interest here.
  • the drinking straw 4 which is closest to this beverage container, is pressed against it.
  • the drinking straws 4 adhere to the beverage containers 2 after the pressing process by the pressing devices 16a and 16b through the transfer adhesive tape 8.
  • the straws 4 are supplied as follows.
  • the masking tape 8b is pulled off the adhesive layer 8 on the drinking straw band 6 just before the corresponding part of the drinking straw band 6 reaches the feeding rotor.
  • the drinking straw band 6 runs around various deflection rollers 22, while the cover band 8b is removed by further deflection rollers 20.
  • the drinking straw band 6 without the cover band 8b runs on the feed rotor 12 and is deflected there.
  • the individual protective covers of the drinking straws 4 lie down in the receptacles 24. There they are held by means of vacuum, which is applied through the vacuum holes 54. At intervals, the blade 14 moves radially onto the feed rotor 12 and cuts through the drinking straw band 6 at the welds 28.
  • the knife 14 also pushes through the transfer adhesive tape 8. Since in the feed rotor 12 at the level of the adhesive tape 8, the circumferential groove 58 which has a width h2, which is greater than the width h1 of the transfer adhesive tape 8, the knife 14 in the area in which it has also pushed through the transfer adhesive tape 8 after the severing of the drinking straw band 6, into a free space. Thus, when the drinking straw band 6 is being cut, gluing of the feeding rotor 12 or of the drinking straw band 6, which would impair the reliability of the drinking straw application device, does not occur.
