Abstract

The invention relates to a closure element band (10) comprised of a multitude of in-line closure elements (12) provided for closing tubular packs. The closure elements (12) are connected to one another with material fit in a longitudinal direction whereby forming a one-piece closure element band (10). Each closure element (12) has a clamping finger section (14) with a clamping finger (22), a clamping slot section (18) with a clamping slot (28) and a separating zone (38) for detaching the closure element (12) from the closure element band (10). The clamping finger (22) can be inserted, in a longitudinal direction, into the clamping slot (28) in order to form a closure element ring. The clamping finger (22) and the clamping slot (28) have detent elements, which enable the closure element ring to be tightened and prevents the clamping finger (22) from coming out of the clamping slot (28). The closure elements can be joined by the clamping finger and the clamping slot in order to form a ring. To this end, the closure element band material, itself, has to have a sufficient level of tensile strength so that even corrosion-resistant plastics can be chosen as the material for the closure element band.

Description

Verschlusselementeband Closure element band
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verschlusselementeband mit mehreren aneinandergereihten Verschlusselementen zum Verschließen von Schlauchverpackungen.The invention relates to a closure element tape with a plurality of closure elements lined up for closing hose packages.
Schlauchverpackungen werden zum Verpacken streichbarer Lebensmittel, wie beispielsweise Butter, Wurst etc. oder auch zum Verpacken zähflüssiger chemischer Produkte, wie Silikone, Klebstoffe, Sprengstoffe etc. verwendet. Beim Abpacken wird ein Verpackungsschlauch mit dem Verpackungsgut gefüllt und anschließend an seinen offenen Enden mit einem Verschlusselement verschlossen. Als Verschlusselemente werden häufig Verschlussklammern aus Metall verwendet, die einer Verpackungsvorrichtung zunächst einstückig aneinandergereiht als Verschlusselementeband zugeführt werden. In der Verpackungsvorrichtung wird ein Verschlusselement von dem Verschlusselementeband abgetrennt und der Verschließvorrichtung der Verpackungsvorrichtung zugeführt. In der Verschließvorrichtung wird das Metall- Verschlusselement um ein Schlauchende herum U-förmig zusammengebogen, und bildet auf diese Weise eine das Schlauchende verschließende Klammer. Da die beiden Enden der Metall-Verschlussklammer nicht miteinander verbunden werden, müssen die Verschlussklammern hohen Biegekräften wiederstehen, um ein unerwünschtes Aufgehen des Schlauchverpackungsendes zuverlässig verhindern zu können. Aus diesem Grund können hierfür nur massive Verschlusselemente aus Metall verwendet werden. Metall-Verschlusselemente haben jedoch den Nachteil hohen Gewichts und hoher Rohstoffkosten, und sind korrosionsanfällig.Tube packaging is used for packaging spreadable foods, such as butter, sausages, etc., or for packaging viscous chemical products, such as silicones, adhesives, explosives, etc. When packing, a packaging tube is filled with the goods to be packed and then closed at its open ends with a closure element. Closure clips made of metal are often used as closure elements, which are initially fed to a packaging device in one piece in a row as a closure element band. In the packaging device, a closure element is separated from the closure element band and fed to the closure device of the packaging device. In the closing device, the metal closure element is bent together in a U-shape around a hose end, and in this way forms a clamp closing the hose end. Since the two ends of the metal closure clip are not connected to one another, the closure clips must withstand high bending forces in order to be able to reliably prevent an undesired opening of the hose packaging end. For this reason, only solid metal closure elements can be used. Metal closure elements have the disadvantage of high weight and high raw material costs, and are susceptible to corrosion.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verschlusselementeband mit verbesserten Verschlusselementen zu schaffen.The object of the invention is therefore to create a fastener tape with improved fastener elements.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verschlusselementeband mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by a closure element band with the features according to claim 1.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verschlusselementeband ist einstückig ausgebildet und weist eine Vielzahl von in Längsrichtung stoffschlüssig miteinander verbundenen Verschlusselementen auf. Jedes Verschlusselement weist mehrere voneinander verschiedene Abschnitte auf. Jedes Verschlusselement weist einen Klemmfingerabschnitt mit einem Klemmfinger und einen Klemmnutabschnitt mit einer Klemmnut auf. Ferner ist zwischen zwei Verschlusselementen stets eine Trennzone zum Abtrennen des Verschlusselementes von dem Verschlusselementeband vorgesehen. Der Klemmfinger ist zur Bildung eines geschlossenen Verschlusselementringes in Längsrichtung in die Klemmnut einsteckbar. Der Klemmfinger und die Klemmnut weisen Rastelemente auf, die ein Zuziehen des Verschlusselementringes zulassen und ein Herausziehen des Klemmfingers aus der Klemmnut blockieren. Jedes Verschlusselement weist also an seinen Enden einen Klemmfinger und eine Klemmnut auf, die zum Verschließen eines Schlauchverpackungsendes zusammengesteckt werden und auf diese Weise einen geschlossenen und zusammenhaltenden Verschlusselementring bilden.The closure element band according to the invention is formed in one piece and has a plurality of closure elements which are integrally connected to one another in the longitudinal direction. Each closure element has several different sections. Each closure element has a clamping finger section with a clamping finger and a clamping groove section with a clamping groove. Furthermore, a separation zone for separating the closure element from the closure element band is always provided between two closure elements. The clamping finger can be inserted into the clamping groove in the longitudinal direction to form a closed closure element ring. The clamping finger and the clamping groove have latching elements which allow the closing element ring to be closed and block the clamping finger from being pulled out of the clamping groove. Each closure element therefore has a clamping finger and a clamping groove at its ends, which are plugged together to close a hose packaging end and in this way form a closed and holding closure element ring.
Beim Zusammenziehen eines von dem Verschlusselementeband abgetrennten Verschlusselementes in einer Verschlussvorrichtung gleitet der Klemmfinger in Längsrichtung in die Klemmnut hinein, so dass ein geschlossener Verschlusselementring gebildet wird. Die Rastelemente in der Klemmnut und an dem Klemmfinger sorgen für eine formschlüssige Verrastung des Klemmfingers in der Klemmnut, die jedenfalls in Zugrichtung blockierend wirkt.When a closure element separated from the closure element band is pulled together in a closure device, the clamping finger slides longitudinally into the clamping groove, so that a closed closure element ring is formed. The locking elements in the clamping groove and on The clamping finger ensures a positive locking of the clamping finger in the clamping groove, which in any case has a blocking effect in the direction of pull.
Durch die beschriebenen konstruktiven Maßnahmen wird es möglich, als Werkstoff für das Verschlusselementeband jeden Werkstoff zu verwenden, der eine ausreichende Zugfestigkeit aufweist. Der verwendete Werkstoff muss jedoch keine nennenswerte Biegesteifigkeit mehr aufweisen, so dass auf die Verwendung von Metall ggf. verzichtet werden kann. Die Materialwahl für das Verschlusselementeband ist daher nicht mehr beschränkt auf steife Werkstoffe, wie beispielsweise Metall. Es können Werkstoffe verwendet werden, die genügend Zugfestigkeit aufweisen, jedoch ggf. nur geringe Biegesteifigkeit aufweisen, wie dies u.a. für eine Vielzahl von Kunststoffen zutrifft. Bei Verwendung von Metall können die Verschlusselemente einen kleineren Querschnitt aufweisen, da sie keine Biegesteifigkeit mehr aufbringen müssen. Durch die erfindungsgemäßen konstruktiven Maßnahmen können Werkstoffe für das Verschlusselementeband gewählt werden, die z. B. lebensmittelhygienisch völlig unbedenklich sind. Das Verschlusselementeband kann aufgrund seiner Ausbildung als zusammenhängendes Band ggf. in herkömmlichen Verpackungsvorrichtungen, in denen Metall-Verschlusselementebänder benutzt wurden, unter Vornahme geringer konstruktiver Änderungen eingesetzt werden.The constructional measures described make it possible to use any material that has sufficient tensile strength as the material for the closure element band. However, the material used no longer has to have any significant bending stiffness, so that the use of metal may be dispensed with. The choice of material for the closure element band is therefore no longer restricted to rigid materials, such as metal. Materials can be used that have sufficient tensile strength, but may only have low bending stiffness, as is the case among others. applies to a variety of plastics. When using metal, the closure elements can have a smaller cross section, since they no longer have to be rigid. Through the constructive measures according to the invention, materials for the closure element band can be selected which, for. B. are completely harmless in terms of food hygiene. Due to its design as a coherent band, the fastener tape can be used in conventional packaging devices in which metal fastener tapes have been used, subject to minor design changes.

Materialeigenschaften im Bezug auf seine Korrosionsbeständigkeit, Ungiftigkeit, Geschmacksneutralität etc. ausgewählt werden. Vorzugsweise wird als Verschlusselementeband-Werkstoff ein entsprechender Kunststoff gewählt.Material properties in terms of its corrosion resistance, non-toxicity, neutral taste etc. can be selected. A suitable plastic is preferably selected as the closure element tape material.
Vorzugsweise weist der Klemmnuteingang an einem Längsende der Klemmnut eine Führungsrampe zum Einführen des Klemmfingers in die Klemmnut auf. Die Führungsrampe ist geneigt zu der Längsachse der Klemmnut und bildet eine Art Trichter an dem Klemmnuteingang, durch den das freie Ende des Klemmfingers in den Klemmnuteingang hineingeführt wird. Hierdurch wird das Zusammenschließen des Verschlusselementes zu einem Ring in einer Verschließvorrichtung erheblich vereinfacht und zuverlässiger gemacht. An dem Klemmnuteingang können auch mehrere Führungsrampen vorgesehen sein, die einen mehrseitigen Trichter bilden.The clamping groove input preferably has a guide ramp at one longitudinal end of the clamping groove for inserting the clamping finger into the clamping groove. The guide ramp is inclined to the longitudinal axis of the clamping groove and forms a kind of funnel at the clamping groove entrance, through which the free end of the clamping finger is guided into the clamping groove entrance. This will Combining the closure element into a ring in a closing device is made considerably easier and more reliable. Several guide ramps can also be provided at the clamping groove input, which form a multi-sided funnel.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestattung ist die Klemmnut hinterschnitten und an einer Querseite offen ausgebildet, so dass der Klemmfinger in der Klemmnut unverlierbar eingesteckt ist und nicht in Querrichtung aus der Klemmnut herausziehbar ist. Die in einer Querrichtung offene Ausbildung der Klemmnut ermöglicht die Anwendung preiswerter Herstellungsverfahren bei der Herstellung des Verschlusselementebandes, beispielsweise des Kunststoff-According to a preferred configuration, the clamping groove is undercut and open on one transverse side, so that the clamping finger is inserted in the clamping groove in a captive manner and cannot be pulled out of the clamping groove in the transverse direction. The design of the clamping groove, which is open in a transverse direction, enables the use of inexpensive production methods in the production of the closure element band, for example the plastic

Due to the undercut, the clamping finger is fixed in the transverse direction in the clamping groove, so that it cannot fall out or be pulled out of the clamping groove.
Vorzugsweise weist jedes Verschlusselement zwischen demEach closure element preferably has between the
Klemmfingerabschnitt und dem Klemmnutabschnitt einen klemmnutfreien und klemmfingerfreien Mittelabschnitt auf. Der Mittelabschnitt bildet bei geschlossenem Verschlusselement im wesentlichen den Biegeabschnitt des Verschlusselementes.The clamping finger section and the clamping groove section have a clamping groove-free and clamping finger-free central section. When the closure element is closed, the middle section essentially forms the bending section of the closure element.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung weist jedes Verschlusselement zwischen seinem Klemmnutabschnitt und dem Klemmfingerabschnitt des angrenzenden Verschlusselementes einen klemmnutfreien Endabschnitt auf. Dieser Endabschnitt ist ggf. nur wenige Millimeter lang und hat die Funktion, ggf. eine oder mehrere Führungsrampen zu bilden und ein Zwischenglied zwischen dem Klemmnutabschnitt eines Verschlussselementes und dem Klemmfingerabschnitt des benachbarten Verschlusselementes zu bilden. Ferner erlaubt der separate Endabschnitt eine mäanderförmige Aneinanderreihung der Verschlusselemente, die ähnlich ist der mäanderförmigen Aneinanderreihung herkömmlicher Metall- Verschlusselemente. Hierdurch wird die Substitution der herkömmlichen Metall- Verschlusselementebänder in den herkömmlichen Verschlussvorrichtungen bereits existierender Schlauchverpackungsvorrichtungen ermöglicht.According to a preferred embodiment, each closure element has an end section free of a clamp groove between its clamping groove section and the clamping finger section of the adjacent closure element. This end section is possibly only a few millimeters long and has the function of possibly forming one or more guide ramps and of forming an intermediate member between the clamping groove section of a closure element and the clamping finger section of the adjacent closure element. Furthermore, the separate end section allows a meandering arrangement of the closure elements, which is similar to the meandering arrangement of conventional metal closure elements. This will replace traditional metal Closure element tapes in the conventional closure devices of existing tube packaging devices.
Zwischen dem Klemmnutabschnitt und dem Endabschnitt ist eine Biegezone vorgesehen, die ein Verbiegen des Endabschnittes gegenüber dem Klemmnutabschnitt um mehr als 100° erlaubt. Der Endabschnitt wird an die geschlossene Längsseite des Klemmnutabschnittes angeklappt. Hierdurch wird der Endabschnitt von dem Klemmnuteingang weggeklappt, so dass der Klemmnuteingang frei zugänglich wird und dem Eindringen des Klemmfingers in den Klemmnuteingang nicht im Wege ist.A bending zone is provided between the clamping groove section and the end section, which allows the end section to be bent by more than 100 ° with respect to the clamping groove section. The end section is folded against the closed long side of the clamping groove section. As a result, the end section is folded away from the clamping groove entrance, so that the clamping groove entrance is freely accessible and the penetration of the clamping finger into the clamping groove entrance is not in the way.
Vorzugsweise ist die Trennzone zwischen dem Endabschnitt eines Verschlusselementes und dem Klemmfingerabschnitt des benachbarten Verschlusselementes angeordnet.The separation zone is preferably arranged between the end section of a closure element and the clamping finger section of the adjacent closure element.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung sind der Klemmfingerquerschnitt und der Klemmnutquerschnitt ungefähr komplementär zueinander ausgebildet. Der Klemmfinger füllt die Klemmnut also vollständig aus. Hierdurch wird ein sicherer Halt des Klemmfingers in der Klemmnut sichergestellt.According to a preferred embodiment, the clamping finger cross section and the clamping groove cross section are approximately complementary to one another. The clamping finger completely fills the clamping groove. This ensures a secure hold of the clamping finger in the clamping groove.
Vorzugsweise sind die Rastelemente als Rastzähne ausgebildet. Hierdurch wird eine sichere Verrastung bei kleiner Rastweite realisiert.The locking elements are preferably designed as locking teeth. This ensures secure locking with a small locking distance.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist das Verschlusselementband aus Kunststoff gefertigt, kann jedoch auch aus anderen nichtmetallischen Werkstoffen bestehen.According to a preferred embodiment, the closure element band is made of plastic, but can also consist of other non-metallic materials.

Fig. 5 ein Querschnitt einer Verschließvorrichtung, die das Verschlusselement an einem Schlauchverpackungsende appliziert.5 shows a cross section of a closing device which applies the closing element to a tube packaging end.
In Fig. 1 ist ein einstückiges Kunststoff-Verschlusselementeband 10 dargestellt, dass aus einer Vielzahl von stoffschlüssig in Längsrichtung aneinandergereihten Verschlusselementen 12 besteht. Das Verschlusselementeband 10 kann eine Länge von vielen Metern haben und aus tausenden Verschlusselementen 12 bestehen. Die Verschlusselemente 12 dienen dem Verschließen eines Verpackungsschlauchendes und werden zu diesem Zweck in einer Verschließvorrichtung einer Verpackungsmaschine an das zusammengezogene Schlauchende appliziert und dabei zu einem geschlossenen Verschlusselementring zusammengezogen und geschlossen, wie in Fig. 4 und 5 dargestellt.In Fig. 1, a one-piece plastic fastener tape 10 is shown, which consists of a plurality of materially cohesive fasteners 12 lined up in the longitudinal direction. The closure element band 10 can have a length of many meters and consist of thousands of closure elements 12. The closure elements 12 serve to close a packaging tube end and for this purpose are applied to the contracted tube end in a closing device of a packaging machine and thereby drawn together and closed to form a closed closure element ring, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
Jedes Verschlusselement 12 ist in vier Abschnitte unterteilt, nämlich einen Klemmfingerabschnitt 14, einem sich daran anschließenden Mitte labschnitt 16, einem sich an den Mittelabschnitt 16 anschließenden Klemmnutabschnitt 18 und einen sich daran anschließenden Endabschnitt 20, wie in Fig. 1-3 dargestellt. Der Klemmfingerabschnitt 14 wird im wesentlichen von einem Klemmfinger 22 gebildet, der plattenartig ausgebildet ist, wobei die beiden Schmalseiten keilförmig ausgebildet sind. An den beiden Schmalseiten sind als Rastelemente Rastzähne 24 angeordnet. Die Rastzähne 24 haben ihrerseits einen dreieckigen sägezahnförmigen Querschnitt. An dem freien Ende des Klemmfingers 22 ist ein rampenartiges Endstück 26 angeordnet, dass zur Außenseite hin in Form einer schrägen Rampe geformt ist. Der Klemmfinger 22 erstreckt sich ungefähr über die gesamte Länge des Klemmfingerabschnittes 14.Each closure element 12 is divided into four sections, namely a clamping finger section 14, an adjoining center lab section 16, a clamping groove section 18 adjoining the middle section 16 and an adjoining end section 20, as shown in FIGS. 1-3. The clamping finger section 14 is essentially formed by a clamping finger 22 which is designed in the form of a plate, the two narrow sides being designed in a wedge shape. On the two narrow sides, locking teeth 24 are arranged as locking elements. The locking teeth 24 in turn have a triangular sawtooth-shaped cross section. At the free end of the clamping finger 22 a ramp-like end piece 26 is arranged, which is shaped towards the outside in the form of an oblique ramp. The clamping finger 22 extends approximately over the entire length of the clamping finger section 14.
An den Klemmfingerabschnitt 14 schließt sich der Mittelabschnitt 16 an, der, ebenso wie der Endabschnitt 20 und der Klemmnutabschnitt 18, breiter ist als der Klemmfingerabschnitt 22. Die Breite des Mittelabschnittes 16, des Klemmnutabschnittes 18 und des Endabschnittes 20 ist gleich und gleichbleibend. Der Mittelabschnitt 16 weist keine Nut und keinen Steg auf, und stellt einen biegsamen Bereich des Verschlusselementes 12 dar.The clamping finger section 14 is adjoined by the central section 16, which, like the end section 20 and the clamping groove section 18, is wider than the clamping finger section 22. The width of the central section 16, the clamping groove section 18 and the end section 20 is the same and constant. The middle section 16 has no groove and no web, and represents a flexible region of the closure element 12.
An den Mittelabschnitt 16 schließt sich der Klemmnutabschnitt 18 an, der in Längsrichtung mittig eine Klemmnut 28 aufweist. Die Klemmnut 28 ist an der dem Klemmfingerabschnitt 14 des selben Verschlusselementes 12 zugewandten Seite offen ausgebildet. Der Querschnitt der Klemmnut 28 ist an den beiden Längsseiten V-förmig und ist genau komplementär zu dem Querschnitt des Klemmfingers 22 ausgebildet. An den beiden Seitenrändern der Klemmnut 28 sind als Rastelemente Rastzähne 30 vorgesehen, die mit den Rastzähnen 24 des Klemmfingers 22 in Einschubrichtung rastend zusammen wirken. An dem dem Mittelabschnitt 16 abgewandten Längsende ist die Klemmnut 28 offen ausgebildet. Dadurch kann bei schon mäßig abgeknicktem Endabschnitt 20 der Klemmfinger 22 in Längsrichtung in die Klemmnut 28 eingesteckt werden. Der Boden der Klemmnut 28 läuft zum Endabschnitt 20 hin schräg aus und bildet dort eine Führungsrampe 32. Die Führungsrampe 32 bildet im Zusammenspiel mit dem gegensinnig geneigten Endstück 26 des Klemmfingers 22 eine Führung, durch die der Klemmfinger 22 in die Klemmnut 28 geführt wird. Hierdurch wird das Einfädeln des Klemmfingers 22 in die Klemmnut 28 vereinfacht.The clamping groove section 18 adjoins the central section 16 and has a clamping groove 28 in the center in the longitudinal direction. The clamping groove 28 is formed open on the side facing the clamping finger section 14 of the same closure element 12. The cross section of the clamping groove 28 is V-shaped on the two longitudinal sides and is of exactly complementary design to the cross section of the clamping finger 22. On the two side edges of the clamping groove 28, latching teeth 30 are provided as latching elements, which cooperate with the latching teeth 24 of the clamping finger 22 in the insertion direction. At the longitudinal end facing away from the central section 16, the clamping groove 28 is open. As a result, the clamping finger 22 can be inserted into the clamping groove 28 in the longitudinal direction when the end section 20 is already bent moderately. The bottom of the clamping groove 28 runs obliquely towards the end section 20 and forms a guide ramp 32 there. The guide ramp 32 forms in cooperation with the oppositely inclined end piece 26 of the clamping finger 22 has a guide through which the clamping finger 22 is guided into the clamping groove 28. This simplifies the threading of the clamping finger 22 into the clamping groove 28.
An den Klemmnutabschnitt 18 schließt sich der Endabschnitt 20 an, der frei ist von Nuten u.a. Um das Abknicken des Endabschnittes 20 zu erleichtern und die Bildung der Führungsrampe 32 zu begünstigen, sind zwischen dem Endabschnitt 20 und dem Klemmnutabschnitt 18 im Randbereich in Querrichtung verlaufende V-Nuten 34 vorgesehen. Der Bereich um die V-Nuten 34 bildet die Biegezone 36, die dem Abbiegen, jedoch nicht Abbrechen des Endabschnittes 20 gegenüber dem Klemmnutabschnitt 18 dient.The clamping groove section 18 is followed by the end section 20, which is free of grooves and the like. In order to facilitate the kinking of the end section 20 and to favor the formation of the guide ramp 32, V-grooves 34 running transversely in the edge region are provided between the end section 20 and the clamping groove section 18. The area around the V-grooves 34 forms the bending zone 36, which serves to bend, but not to break off, the end section 20 relative to the clamping groove section 18.
Zwischen dem Endabschnitt 20 eines Verschlusselementes 12 und dem Klemmfinger 22 eines benachbarten Verschlusselementes 12 ist eine Trennzone 38 vorgesehen, die beispielsweise ebenfalls in Form einer tiefen V-Nut ausgebildet sein kann. Die Trennzone 38 stellt den Bereich dar, in dem eine Trenπvorrichtung ein Verschlusselement 12 von seinem benachbarten Verschlusselement 12 bzw. dem übrigen Verschlusselementeband 10 abtrennt.A separation zone 38 is provided between the end section 20 of a closure element 12 and the clamping finger 22 of an adjacent closure element 12, which can also be designed, for example, in the form of a deep V-groove. The separation zone 38 represents the area in which a separation device separates a closure element 12 from its adjacent closure element 12 or the remaining closure element band 10.
Das Verschlusselementeband 10 hat einen mäanderartigen Verlauf, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, und ist in der Regel zu einer Rolle auf einen Rollenkern aufgerollt. In dieser Form wird es einer entsprechenden Verpackungsmaschine zugeführt. In der Verpackungsmaschine wird zunächst ein Verschlusselement 12 einer Verschließvorrichtung 40 zugeführt und von dem Verschlusselementeband 10 abgetrennt. Die Verschließvorrichtung 40 weist einen Schließring 42 auf, der eine Führungsnut 44 zur Aufnahme des Verschlusselementes 12 aufweist. Bei Kontraktion des Schließringes 42 wird der Klemmfinger 22 auf die Führungsrampe 32 und schließlich in die Klemmnut 28 in Längsrichtung eingeschoben. Hierbei wird gleichzeitig ein Schlauchverpackungsende 46 der Schlauchverpackung 48 zusammengepresst und dadurch verschlossen, wie in Fig. 5 dargestellt. Durch die diskontinuierliche Ausbildung der Verschlusselemente des Verschlusselementebandes ist es möglich, in herkömmlichen Verschließvorrichtungen von Schlauchverpackungsmaschinen undThe closure element band 10 has a meandering course, as shown in FIG. 1, and is generally rolled up into a roll on a roll core. In this form, it is fed to a corresponding packaging machine. In the packaging machine, a closure element 12 is first fed to a closure device 40 and separated from the closure element band 10. The closing device 40 has a closing ring 42, which has a guide groove 44 for receiving the closing element 12. When the locking ring 42 contracts, the clamping finger 22 is pushed onto the guide ramp 32 and finally into the clamping groove 28 in the longitudinal direction. At the same time, a hose packaging end 46 of the hose packaging 48 is pressed together and thereby closed, as shown in FIG. 5. Due to the discontinuous design of the closure elements of the closure element band, it is possible to use in conventional closure devices of tube packaging machines and
-Vorrichtungen metallfreie Verschlusselemente zu verwenden, die aufgrund ihres Ringschlusses ein Schlauchende zusammenhalten können und daher auf die bei ringschlussfreien Verbindungen erforderliche und im wesentlichen nur von Metallen zu leistende Biegesteifigkeit verzichten können. -Devices to use metal-free closure elements which, due to their ring closure, can hold a hose end together and therefore can do without the bending stiffness required in the case of ring closure-free connections and which can essentially only be achieved by metals.
