Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clamping piece, a transport chain and a means for opening and closing the clamping piece.
  • each link is provided with a corresponding clamping piece, which is respectively opened and closed again when a first sprocket overflows and the packaging film web is clamped thereby.
  • the clamping piece is again opened and then closed, in which case the packaging film web is released again.
  • the clamping elements used are, for example, in the DE 195 25 523 , of the DE 33 15 419 , of the DE 23 55 921 and in the Fr 81 110 60 disclosed.
  • the clamping pieces according to the prior art have the disadvantage that they are relatively expensive to produce and / or that they wear relatively quickly.
  • the present invention therefore had the object of providing a clamping piece which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the middle piece and the foot are mounted in the bearing lug.
  • This embodiment of the present invention has the advantage that the clamping piece is particularly well secured against tilting on the bearing bracket.
  • the clamping means consists of two parts, wherein in a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamping piece and the center piece is a part and the foot is the other part. Also particularly preferably, the clamping piece is a part and the middle piece and the foot the other part.
  • the connection between the respective parts is preferably carried out by Stoffundloder adhesion.
  • the bearing tab is U-shaped.
  • the bearing tab on the first surface, which cooperates with the clamping piece on a preferably circular recess.
  • the clamping piece according to the invention would be simple and inexpensive to produce.
  • the clamping piece is characterized by a low wear.
  • the clamping piece is preferably part of a transport chain for packaging film webs.
  • the present invention is therefore also a transport chain having the clamping piece according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the clamping means 3 of the clamping piece according to the invention.
  • the clamping means 3 is divided into two, wherein in the present case, the clamping piece 4 and the middle piece 7 represent a part and the foot 5, the other part.
  • the middle piece 7 and the foot 5 are screwed together.
  • the screw can be secured for example by an adhesive.
  • the clamping piece 7 has an annular bulge 24, with which the film against a bearing tab (not shown) is pressed.
  • FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the clamping means.
  • This clamping means 3 substantially corresponds to the clamping means according to FIG. 1 with the exception that in the present case the middle piece 7 and the foot 5 are pressed together.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the clamping means 3.
  • the clamping means 3 is divided into two parts, wherein in the present case, the foot 5 and the middle piece 7 represent a part and the clamping piece 4, the other part.
  • the middle piece 7 is connected to the clamping piece 4 by a flange 26. Otherwise, the comments apply to FIG. 1 ,
  • FIG. 4 shows three embodiments of the invention closed clamping piece 1 in two views.
  • the clamping pieces 1 each consist of a U-shaped bearing plate 2, in which the clamping means 3 is mounted displaceably substantially along its central axis.
  • the clamping means 3 correspond to the clamping means according to Figures 1 - 3 .
  • Each clamping means 3 comprises a clamping piece 4, a central piece 7 and a foot 5, which are interconnected.
  • the clamping piece 4 cooperates with the first surface 6 of the bearing plate 2 so that a film can be clamped therebetween.
  • the clamping piece has a bulge 24 and the surface 6 a recess 23, so that the film is clamped along a segment of a circular ring.
  • the middle piece 7 is slidably mounted in a bore in the bearing bracket 2.
  • the foot 5 is slidably mounted in a further bore in the bearing bracket 2.
  • a spring 8 is arranged in the region of the center piece 7 and acts on one side with the foot 5 and on the other side with the surface 25 of the bearing lug 2 together, so that the clamping piece 4 is pulled against the surface 6 of the bearing bracket 2.
  • the clamping piece 1 according to the invention is respectively attached to the links 9 of a transport chain. With the transport chain, for example, film webs are transported in a packaging machine.
  • FIG. 5 shows the three embodiments of the clamping piece according to the invention according to FIG. 4 in open condition.
  • the opening is made by a compressive force F, which acts from below on the foot 5 of the clamping means 3 and the clamping means 3 presses upwards relative to the bearing plate 2, so that between the clamping piece 4 and the first surface 6, a gap 10 is formed in the the film edge (not shown) can be introduced.
  • F a compressive force
  • the person skilled in the art recognizes that the force F does not have to act directly from below.
  • the spring 8 is compressed between the second surface 25 and the foot 5.
  • the force F is reduced so that the restoring force of the spring closes the gap 10 again and the film edge between the clamping piece 4 and the surface 6 is clamped.
  • the recess 24 is visible in the surface 6, which cooperates with the bulge 23, so that the clamping of the film edge takes place along a circular ring segment.
  • the person skilled in the art recognizes that the opening and closing of the clamping piece according to the invention can take place as often as desired.
  • FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of a means 14 for opening and closing the clamping piece 3, each of which is attached to a member 9 of the conveyor chain 13 (only partially shown).
  • the transport chain 13 is driven by the gear 17 and / or deflected.
  • the running direction of the transport chain 13 is shown by the arrow.
  • the means 14 is arranged on the same shaft 18 as the gear 17 but stationary.
  • the means 14 has two ramps 15, 16.
  • the feet 5 of the clamping piece 1 first run over the ramp 15 and are pressed upwards, so that the clamping piece 1 gradually opens. After opening and after the film edge (not shown) was inserted, the foot 5 runs along the ramp 16 and the clamping piece 1 closes slowly until it is completely closed and the film web is clamped.
  • the ramps can each have an arbitrary shape that optimally fits to the desired opening or closing behavior of the clamping piece is adapted. The faster the opening or closing of the clamping piece should take place, the steeper the ramp must be and vice versa. However, it is also quite conceivable that the ramps have the shape of a curve and / or that the ramps 15, 16 are each designed differently in length and / or pitch.
  • the ramps have the particular advantage that an abrupt opening or closing of the clamping piece, as is customary in means for opening or closing the clamping piece according to the prior art, is avoided, whereby wear and a warping and / or tearing of the clamped film is reduced.
  • FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of a means for opening and closing the clamping piece, which in comparison to the means according to FIG. 6 characterized in that the angle of the two ramps 15, 16 to each other in the present example is smaller than in the example according to FIG. 6 ,
  • FIG. 8 shows a further embodiment of a means for opening and closing the clamping piece, each of which is attached to a member 9 of the conveyor chain 13 (only partially shown).
  • the transport chain 13 is driven by the gear 17 and / or deflected.
  • the running direction of the transport chain 13 is shown by the arrow.
  • the means is in the present case a rotatably mounted disc 20, the axis of rotation 21 is arranged offset from the axis of rotation 22 of the gear 17.
