Definitions

  • the present invention relates to automatic packaging of sheet items, with a particular reference to packaging with cellophane or paper and to envelope filling machines.
  • the present invention relates to the support structures for sheet feeders.
  • the devices for the automatic packaging of sheet items currently used include conveying means, above which one or more sheet feeders can be situated, and which finish with a station for wrapping, with cellophane or paper, the piles of items formed upstream, or for receiving the piles in an envelope.
  • the conveyors operated continuously at high speeds, include a stationary support base, which has usually one or more longitudinal grooves with corresponding chains situated therein and having a plurality of pushing pins, known as "lugs", which move the corresponding piles of items.
  • pairs of following lugs define housing seats for the above piles of items.
  • the conveyors have also a pair of lateral abutments, connected to the stationary support base and usually adjustable, for guiding longitudinally each pile of items in a prefixed feeding direction.
  • the number of sheet feeders can be varied, in relation to the quantity of items forming the pile; for this purpose, the considerable longitudinal extension, typically characterizing the conveyors, is justified.
  • a pile of items can include for example, a main brochure and one or more enclosures, which are released by the relative sheet feeders onto the brochure moved by the lugs, in step relation with the conveyor operation.
  • the sheet feeder must be arranged laterally or astride of the conveyor, in relation to the needs.
  • Known sheet feeders are carried by support structures connected rigidly to the edges of the conveyors, laterally or astride of the latter.
  • the main disadvantage of the support structures lies in the fact that they do not allow any change of the orientation, with which the sheet feeder releases an enclosure with respect to the main brochure moved by the conveyor.
  • the orientation of the enclosure with respect to the main brochure can be changed by changing the orientation of the main brochure on the conveyor, adjusting the lateral abutments, if such adjustment is possible.
  • known sheet feeders 90 are articulated to a support frame, situated below and not shown, connected rigidly to the edges of a conveyor 92, in the region corresponding to a peripheral vertical axis 95.
  • the sheet feeders 90 can be arranged laterally (position L) or astride of (position C) the conveyor 92 by a simple rotation with respect to the peripheral axis 95, by 90°.
  • the support framework is usually fastened to the edges of conveyor 92, which results in extremely difficult removal and replacing of the framework, e.g. during the installation, maintenance etc.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a support structure for a sheet feeder, feeding items to a conveyor situated nearby, which allows to position the sheet feeder beside or above the conveyor, thus limiting the operation space and the time necessary for such transitions.
  • Another object of the present invention is to propose a support structure for a sheet feeder, which is particularly functional and extremely reliable, and which allows to feed items to the conveyor with the desired orientation.
  • a further object of the present invention is to propose a support structure for sheet feeders, whose construction is essential, which is relatively cheap and which allows simple and rapid installation and maintenance operations.
  • the reference numeral 1 indicates the framework of a support structure for a sheet feeder, proposed by the present invention.
  • the substantial constituent elements of the framework 1 include support and moving means 7, for example wheels, and an actuator 6 for the vertical operation of a substantially horizontal plate 2.
  • the stem 6a of the actuator 6 allows, in known way, to support the plate 2 with possibility to rotate on an axis coincident with the axis of the stem.
  • the plate 2 forms guiding means 2a for horizontal guiding of a slide 3, to define e.g. a dovetail coupling.
  • the slide 3 carries a relative sheet feeder 4.
  • the rotation axis of the plate 2 is situated in the central part thereof.
  • the plate 2 has a parallelepiped shape and it forms, on two opposite lateral faces, suitable guides for the slides supporting the sheet feeder.
  • the sheet feeder 4 cooperates with a conveyor 5, connected thereto.
  • the sheet feeder 4 can be situated beside or above the conveyor 5, as it will be pointed out later on.
  • stabilizing means 8 are provided for supporting the sheet feeder 4, which stabilizing means engage removably with the bearing framework of the conveyor 5.
  • the sheet feeder 4 is situated beside the conveyor 5, with which it cooperates.
  • the sheet items, released onto the corresponding conveyor 5 have a longitudinal orientation with respect to the operation direction of the latter.
  • the sheet feeder 4 is situated above the conveyor 5.
  • An advantage of the present invention results from having defined a support structure for a sheet feeder, which allows to move the latter beside or above a corresponding conveying member, by simple and rapid configuration operations, reducing the operation space necessary to perform a possible transition.
  • the support structure proposed by the present invention and the relative sheet feeder can be advantageously connected to any packaging or envelope filling machine, without any change.
  • the construction of the support structure is elementary, and the support structure is functional and cheap.
