Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for shaping and partially continuous assembly of a package, from a pre-cut blank and repressed in a semi-rigid material such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard.
  • a package comprising a plurality of side walls hinged together by first fold lines and at least some of which comprise, at at least one of their ends, a flap said “flap “articulated on the adjoining wall by a second fold line, the second fold lines associated with the flaps arranged at the same end being arranged in the same transverse plane of the packaging, so that the folded flaps are disposed substantially in this plane in contact with flaps contiguous and assembled and locked in this position by means known in the art.
  • the packages to which this process applies are in particular of the general type of American boxes or American half-boxes, straight prisms with parallel edges and polygonal section, or truncated truncated pyramid boxes with triangular base, quadrangular and , more generally, polygonal and, after setting volume, they remain open at one of their ends, so that we can proceed immediately to their filling.
  • EP-A-1 256 441 discloses a process according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • FR 2 770 445 A discloses a method and a device for setting up the volume of cases or the like from a flat cut out of cardboard or corrugated cardboard, in which the different operations for shaping the cutting and gluing of a joining lug are carried out around a mandrel with a polygonal section similar to that of the box to be produced, which is rotated in a vertical plane relative to an axis horizontal, this chuck stopping at various stations (see pages 4, line 23 to page 5, line 17), before returning to its starting point.
  • the present invention aims to improve such methods by using a shaper such as a mandrel, around which a blank precut and repressed in a semi-rigid material is folded, shaped and assembled by gluing, while the mandrel moves in continuous, during these different operations, without any interruption of its movement.
  • a shaper such as a mandrel
  • the various shapers may be carried by a moving equipment moving along a closed path.
  • the invention also relates to a device according to claim 3.
  • the shapers serve to support the walls and flaps of the blank, when they are subjected to the thrust of the means which bring them into their assembly position on the shaper, and they also allow assembly by gluing or joining of these elements.
  • These means may be for example fixed or mobile guides or controlled shutters.
  • the corrugated cardboard blank comprises four walls 1 articulated to one another by first parallel fold lines and at each end of which are articulated by fold lines perpendicular to the preceding so-called shutters.
  • a tongue 4 of bonding which is articulated by a line parallel to the first fold lines following the free edge of a wall 1 not adjacent to the contiguous wall is intended to stick against the inner face of this contiguous wall.
  • the blanks precut and repressed are extracted one by one from a feeder 10 and are previously folded in J, as seen on the 2, before coming to cap a shaper 5 whose outer surface is substantially complementary to the inner surface of the American box to achieve, the folded blank J thus coming into contact with three contiguous walls 1 of this blank.
  • the shaper 5 is driven step-by-step, without interruption of movement, by a drive system at successive stations, between which or in which are provided means such as fixed or movable guides or controlled movable flaps, which bring the fourth wall 1 into contact with the shaper 5, with the tongue 4 previously glued in contact with the inner face of the wall 1 contiguous. These walls are then pressed against the shaper 5, so as to make them integral with the walls that are in contact.
  • the wall 1 which sticks against the tongue 4 previously glued is folded and applied in a simple manner against this tongue by contact with a fixed guide during its movement under the stress of the shaper 5.
  • the flaps 2 which are arranged in positions contiguous to one end of the shaper, after being glued, are then folded perpendicularly to the adjacent walls, to come into mutual contact and thus be assembled by gluing, while the flaps 2 arranged at the other end remain in the extension of the adjoining walls.
  • the American box 6 thus volume and partially assembled, but with an open end, is then released from the shaper 5 by relative sliding relative to one another, then it is straightened and discharged by a conveyor 7 to a filling station, while the shaper 5 is returned to its starting position to resume a new shaping cycle and assembly of a new blank.
  • a plurality of shapers 5 are used in synchronization, each in turn reaching one of the stations of the assembly and assembly cycle.
  • Each shaper 5 is carried by a moving element 8, which is driven continuously, without interruption of its movement, by a motor system, not shown, along a closed path, materialized by guides 9, of appropriate profile.
  • the method described here relates to a parallelepiped package, but it applies equally well to packagings with only three walls or more than four walls, the fold lines between the walls being parallel, as described herein, or arranged obliquely to form a volume of generally trapezoidal shape, or prism, or truncated pyramid.

Claims (4)

  1. Verfahren zur kontinuierlichen Aufrichtung und teilweisen Montage einer Vielzahl identischer, aus einem halbsteifen Werkstoff wie zum Beispiel Karton oder Wellpappe bestehender Verpackungen, und zwar ausgehend von einem vorgeschnittenen und geformten Zuschnitt, wobei jede Packung eine Vielzahl an Seitenwandungen (1) aufweist, die untereinander gelenkig über erste Faltungslinien in Verbindung stehen und von denen wenigstens einige an wenigstens einer ihrer Extremitäten einen Flügel (2,3) aufweisen, der Klappflügel genannt wird und der mit der angrenzenden Wandung (1) über eine zweite Faltungslinie gelenkig in Verbindung steht, wobei die Faltungslinien, die mit den Flügeln (2,3) in Verbindung stehen, die sich an der gleichen Extremität der Wandungen befinden, in derselben Querebene angeordnet sind, und zwar derart, dass die umgeklappten Flügel sich in dieser Ebene in Berührung mit den benachbarten Flügeln befinden, und durch Mittel, die in dieser Technik bekannt sind, montiert und verriegelt sind, wobei dieses Verfahren die Aufrichtung und Montage der Seitenwandungen (1) einer jeden Packung betreffende Schritte umfasst und Schritte, die auf die Faltung der Klappflügel (2) gerichtet sind, die sich an den gleichen Extremitäten einiger der Seitenwandungen befinden und sich senkrecht zu diesen erstrecken sowie zur eventuellen Montage dieser Klappflügel, wobei die Aufrichtung eines jeden Zuschnitts mittels eines Formgebungsdornes (5) bewirkt wird, dessen äußerer Querschnitt zumindest teilweise dem inneren Querschnitt der zu formenden Packung entspricht, wobei jeder Formgebungsdorn (5) durch ein motorisches System mitgenommen, und durch aufeinander folgende Stationen geführt wird, in denen oder zwischen denen feste oder bewegliche Organe vorgesehen sind, mittels welchen die folgenden Handlungen ausgeführt werden:
    - die Wandungen (1) der Packung, die sich aneinander anschließen, werden durch Faltung um den Formgebungsdorn in ihre endgültige Position überführt, in der sie an die äußere Form des Dornes angepasst sind;
    - in dieser Position werden zwei einander benachbarte, nicht aneinander grenzende Wandungen der Packung untereinander durch Klebung eines Teiles (4) verbunden, welches an die eine der Wandungen angrenzt und welches von der anderen der Wandungen überlagert wird oder es werden diese Wandungen unter Verwendung eines unabhängigen Mittels miteinander verbunden;
    - die Klappflügel (2), die sich an der gleichen Extremität der Packung in einander benachbarten Positionen befinden, werden senkrecht zu den angrenzenden Wandungen gefaltet und miteinander verbunden;
    - die auf diese Weise aufgerichtete und teilweise montierte Packung, die an der Extremität der Wandungen, die derjenigen gegenüberliegt, an der die Klappflügel miteinander verbunden worden sind, offen ist, wird von dem Formgebungsdorn (5) getrennt, der mit dieser gleitend in Verbindung steht;
    wobei das Verfahren dadurch gekennzeichnet ist,
    dass die Zuschnitte vorläufig nach Maßgabe der Gestalt eines U oder eines J um die ersten Faltungslinien gefaltet werden, dass die unterschiedlichen Formgebungsdorne synchron mitgenommen werden, und dass sich jeder Formgebungsdorn zwischen einem Ausgangspunkt und dem Punkt, an dem die aufgerichtete und teilweise montierte Packung von dem Formgebungsdorn getrennt wird, kontinuierlich und ohne Unterbrechung seiner Bewegung entlang einer geschlossenen Kurve bewegt.
