Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for tying objects, in particular for Easter eggs to be tied with adhesive tape.
  • Devices for packaging or wrapping objects are known, in particular for Easter eggs, and in particular a carrousel device is known with a central disk with diaphragms (technically also called iris) serving the purpose of pinching the package of the egg above the egg itself to allow its subsequent tying.
  • diaphragms technically also called iris
  • An object of the present invention is to make available a device for tying objects and in particular for tying Easter egg with adhesive tape, which is particularly simple and economical.
  • a further object is to make said device extremely reliable and long-lasting, with no need for particular maintenance.
  • the first means preferably comprise a pair of arms actuated by related actuators, which arms are provided with fork-shaped elements to grip the package or wrapping of the object, and to one of said arms are associated adhesive tape distributor means comprising for instance a reel about which is wound the adhesive tape, one or more sliding rollers for the adhesive tape and an applicator.
  • the second means preferably comprise a motorised rotating structure provided with pliers for gripping the object and make it rotate integrally with the structure in such a way that during rotation the object drives the adhesive tape about the tying area.
  • the third means preferably comprise a blade associated to one of the arms and actuated automatically by the opening motion of the two arms after the application of the adhesive tape.
  • the number 1 designates an object whose wrapping or packaging 2 must be tied in correspondence with a tying area 3.
  • the object in the illustrated case, is an Easter egg to be tied above the upper end, but it can also be another type of object whose wrapping needs to be tied.
  • the present description is referred, in non limiting fashion, to an Easter egg.
  • a wrapping apparatus for instance of the kind described above and provided with carrousel with diaphragms to pinch the wrapping of the egg in correspondence with the area to be subsequently tied.
  • the egg is maintained in position by a motorised rotating structure 4 provided with pliers 5 for retaining the eggs, actuated by a pneumatic cylinder 6 or by any other suitable actuator.
  • the rotating structure 4 is set in rotation about its own vertical axis 7 by means of a motorisation 8 (for instance of the type having 0.25 HP of power).
  • Each arm 9 is provided with a fork shaped element 12, also called jaw, and having the function of winding itself about the wrapping.
  • a first arm 9a is provided with a blade 13 equipped with an abutment or pin 14 and destined to rotate about a fulcrum 15 and to be brought back into the resting position by an elastic element 16 constituted by a spring.
  • a sliding roller 18 in the illustrated case, two rollers are present
  • an applicator 19 is associated to a reel 17 of the adhesive tape 10.
  • the applicator 19 is constituted by a lever mechanism 20 with return spring 21 associated to the arm 9b.
  • a projection 22 destined to interact with the pin 14 during the opening of the arms and the cutting of the adhesive tape.
  • the reel 17 with the rollers 18 and the applicator 19 constitute means for distributing the adhesive tape.
  • the arms 9 with the related pneumatic cylinders 11, the elements 12 and the means for distributing the adhesive tape constitute first means for applying the adhesive tape in a predetermined tying area 3.
  • the rotating structure 4 constitutes second means for winding the adhesive tape about the tying area.
  • the blade 13 constitutes third means for cutting the adhesive tape.
  • the tip of the blade 13, as shown in Figure 5, is forked to allow, during the cutting, the folding of a portion of the adhesive tape onto itself in such a way as to cause the two adhesive parts to match, thereby facilitating the subsequent unwinding of the tape itself when opening the package.
  • the blade automatically folds it back in the longitudinal direction as a consequence of the original forked shape.
  • the egg is initially held by the rotating structure 4 and the arms 9 are open as in Figure 1.
  • the arms 9 are then closed onto the tying area as in Figure 2, in such a way that a free portion 23 of the adhesive tape is automatically applied to the wrapping of the egg in the tying area.
  • the rotating structure 4 is set in rotation in the direction indicated by the arrow 24 in such a way that the adhesive tape starts winding about the tying area, effecting the tying itself.
  • the rotating structure 4 is stopped and the opening of the arms starts as in Figure 4.
  • the projection 22 pushes the pin 14 and hence the blade 13 against the adhesive tape 10 until it cuts it and at the moment of the cut the applicator 19 returns in position against the roller 18 (during the winding, the lever mechanism 20 tends to move towards the blade, detaching itself from the roller 18).
  • the device of the present invention therefore allows an easy application of an adhesive tape to the Easter egg, allowing the tying of its wrapping.
  • Said device is preferably applicable to a known wrapping apparatus.
  • the device is particularly simple and economical, it is easily constructed and it requires no particular maintenance.
  • the device finds its preferred application for Easter eggs but it can also be applied more in general to the tying of any objects with adhesive tapes.
