These are then transported into a position - upright level - in relation to a package conveyor or a folding turret and held ready for acceptance by a package which is conveyed in the transverse direction. It is provided according to the invention that the blank is held in an angular or wedge-shaped plane in front of a pocket of the conveyor or folding turret or in front of a mouthpiece, in order to ensure that the blank with coupon fits securely on the pack.

  • the packs 10 are fed on a packing track 26 at intervals from one another and transferred into an insertion position. This is located opposite a conveyor or a folding turret 27 for folding the outer casing 16 surrounding the pack 10.
  • the folding turret 27 has pockets 28 for a pack 10 each with an outer casing 16. In each case, a pocket 28 is in the insertion position, facing the package 10 to be inserted. This is inserted transversely to the blank 17 provided by a slide 29 into the respective pocket 28, the blank 17 being taken along with the U-shaped covering of the pack 10 and detached from the suction belts 23.
  • a special feature is the guidance of the blank 17 in the area of the insertion position.

  • Management bodies for the The suction belts 23 bear a roof-like design with two legs 30, 31 above and below the insertion position.
  • the legs 30, 31 are sections of a correspondingly shaped wall 32 of a suction box 33 for transferring suction air or negative pressure to the suction belts 23 lying against the wall 32.
  • the wall 32 has corresponding suction holes.
  • the contour of the wall 32 is designed such that the two flat legs 30, 31 converge in the area of a curved or rounded deflection 34. This is located exactly in the area of an insertion level or in the center of the pocket 28 to be loaded.
  • the coupon 19 is held in the predetermined position by this shape of the suction belts 23 and is carried along with the blank 17 from the package 10 without any problems.
  • the unit comprising the package 10 the blank 17 and the coupon 19 enters the pocket 28 through a mouthpiece 35 comprising an upper wall and a lower wall.
  • the mouthpiece 35 has strongly rounded inlet edges.
  • a coupon 19 is arranged completely above the deflection 34 or completely below it.
  • two coupons can be supplied to one package 10, these being positioned in the area of the front 11 on the one hand and the rear on the other.
  • a correspondingly dimensioned coupon 19 can be arranged so that partial areas cover the (front) side surface 15, the front side 11 and the rear side 12.
  • a special feature is the attachment of the coupons 19 to the material web 18 or film web. This is pulled off a bobbin 36, conveyed via a compensating pendulum 37 and, after several deflections during transport, provided with a continuous tear strip 38. This is also drawn off from a bobbin 39 and fed via a compensating pendulum 40 to a pair of rollers with pressure roller 41 and counter roller 42. In this area, the tear strip 38 is pressed onto the material web 18 and connected to it.
  • the material web 18 which has been completed in this respect arrives in the area of a coupon unit 43.
  • This consists of a coupon magazine 44, a removal element 45 and a coupon generator 46. These elements are arranged one above the other. Coupons 19 are removed by swiveling segments 47 with curved suction surfaces from the bottom of the coupon magazine 44, conveyed along a semicircle and transferred to the coupon transmitter 46 arranged below the removal member 45. This transports the coupons 19 to the material web 18.
  • the coupon transmitter 46 is designed as a rotatingly driven drum with holding surfaces 48 on the circumference.
  • the holding surfaces 48 are segment-like projections with suction surfaces for gripping and holding a coupon 19. In the present case, four holding surfaces 48 are distributed at equal intervals along the circumference of the coupon transmitter 46.
  • the rotational movement of the coupon transmitter 46 is set up in such a way that the coupons 19 are transferred to the material web 18 after a conveying path along a quarter circle.
  • the coupons 19 are provided with glue on the free outside by a glue unit 49 (by means of glue nozzles).
  • a special feature is the positioning of the coupon transmitter 46, which is designed as a roller, directly in the region of the conveyor drive for the material web 18. This is transported in the conveying direction by a feed roller 50. For this purpose, the material web 18 is guided around the feed roller 50. A wrap angle of the material web 18 is chosen to be as large as possible, namely greater than 180 °.
  • the wrapping of the feed roller is effected by a deflection roller 53 arranged upstream in the conveying direction, which is arranged offset below the feed roller 50.
  • the feed roller is driven by a servo motor 52.
  • the coupons 19 are transferred to the material web 18 in the area of the feed roller 50, namely to the material web 18 lying against the circumference of this feed roller 50.
  • the relative position is such that the axes of rotation of the feed roller 50 and the roller of the coupon transmitter 46 are in the same, are arranged horizontally.
  • the assignment of the coupon transmitter 46 to the drive unit for the material web 18 ensures that the feed movement of the coupons 19 can always be matched exactly to the conveying speed of the material web 18. This is achieved in that the rotating roller of the coupon transmitter 46 lies with its circumference or with holding surfaces 48 projecting in the radial direction with the coupons 19 on the circumference of the feed roller 50 or on the material web 18.
  • the procedure can be such that the feed roller 50 has an incremental encoder which measures the measured angular data of the preferred roller 50 and forwards it to the coupon unit 43, in particular for the exact control of the coupon generator 46.
  • a further special feature is that after receipt of the coupon 19, the material web 18 leaves the region of the feed roller 50 in a tangential plane and is fed to the cutting apparatus 20 along an inclined conveying plane.
  • the material web 18 with coupon 19 is conveyed into the folding turret 24 without deflection or deflection in a continuous, flat conveyor path up to the insertion position. This prevents deformation of the coupon 19, which can cause it to detach from the material web 18.
  • the position of the deflecting roller 53 is favorable for the arrangement of a print mark reader 54. This controls the correct feed of the material web 18 and in particular the exact separating cut for producing the blanks 17, using print marks.
  • the device can be operated in two webs, ie with two parallel material webs 18. These are assigned a correspondingly dimensioned feed roller 50, on the lateral surface of which the two material webs 18 are conveyed at a distance from one another.
  • two pairs of suction belts 23 are assigned to the material webs 18, which grip each material web 18 or each blank 17 at lateral edges.
  • the deflecting rollers 24, 25 form units on common axes or shafts.
  • the suction box 33 is also preferably dimensioned such that all four suction belts 23 rest with their conveying run on a common wall 32 of the suction box 33.
