Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for applying adhesive labels to a printed web passing through at printing speed, comprising guide means for feeding a substrate strip carrying the adhesive labels, a release label release member from the substrate strip, and means for applying the detached adhesive label to the printed web ,
  • the adhesive labels are arranged in series on a substrate strip and are pulled over the leading edge of a release element. Due to the deflection of the substrate strip, the adhesive labels are detached from this substrate strip. Under this release element, the packet-shaped elements, on which the adhesive labels are to be attached, are passed.
  • the mechanism of a stamp is triggered, which presses the adhesive label on the passing packet-shaped element and sticks. For this purpose, the punch executes a lifting movement, after pressing the label on the packet-shaped element, the stamp is moved back to the waiting position.
  • a device is for example from the DE-A-39 27 820 known.
  • US 2002/084014 discloses a device for applying adhesive labels to a printed-speed printed web according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein means for applying the adhesive label detached from the substrate strip on the printed-speed printed web are drivable by drive means at a speed at least during application the adhesive label on the printed web substantially corresponds to the printing speed of the continuous printed web.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device for applying adhesive labels on a printed-speed printed web, which allows an accurate sticking of the label at a predetermined location on the printing web, which passes at the predetermined printing speed.
  • the solution of this object is achieved in that the means for applying the detached from the substrate strip adhesive label on the printed web passing through at printed speed consist of at least one cam which is arranged on a support which is driven by drive means at a speed which at least during the application of the adhesive label to the printed web substantially corresponds to the printing speed of the continuous printed web.
  • the label detached from the substrate strip is glued on the printed web on the one hand at high speed and on the other hand with reproducibly high accuracy.
  • the carrier is formed of an endless belt which is guided around at least two rollers, of which at least one is drivable and on which the outside of the at least one cam is mounted.
  • the cam is provided with a rubber-elastic attachment, whereby the pressing of the adhesive label on the printed web is improved.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the drive of the driven roller, around which the endless belt is guided, is adjustable. As a result, the speed of the cam, which captures the adhesive label and presses and adheres to the printed web, can be accurately matched to the printing speed of the continuous printed web.
  • the adhesive label on the printed web is advantageously one of the rollers around which the endless belt is guided, arranged in the region of the continuous printed web, so that the follower cam comes into contact with the continuous printed web. This will provide the required pressure that the cam must apply to press the adhesive label onto the printed web.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the distance from one cam to the next cam on the belt corresponds to the distance of an adhesive label applied to the continuous printed web to the next adhesive label applied to the continuous printed web.
  • the continuous web is advantageously supported in the region opposite the roll and on its underside by a supporting element.
  • the support element is a roller, whereby the structure can be kept very simple.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the release element is formed from a plate, around the front edge of the substrate strip is fed and its leading edge in the area between the Roller and the support element is arranged. This achieves a clean and optimal detachment of the adhesive labels from the substrate strip in the right place.
  • the release element is equipped with adjustment means, so that the position of the leading edge with respect to the continuous printed web and the roll is adjustable.
  • the separation point of the adhesive label from the substrate strip can be optimized.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the guide device is provided with a draw roller, which is partially wrapped by the substrate strip and which is driven by a speed-adjustable drive. This results in an optimal passage of the substrate strip over the front edge of the release element and has the ability to adjust the position of the respective adhesive label to the substrate strip at the separation point.
  • a pressure roller is employed in an advantageous manner to the tension roller, so that the substrate strip is clamped between the tension roller and the pressure roller.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the guide device is equipped with a sensor with which the supply of labels on the substrate strip can be monitored.
  • the end of a substrate strip can be detected and displayed, but it can also be found missing labels, which malfunctions when sticking the adhesive labels can be avoided on the printed web.
  • a substrate strip 2 carrying the adhesive labels 1 passes into the guide device 3.
  • This substrate strip 2 is withdrawn in a known manner from a roll, not shown, and fed to the release element 5 by a plurality of guide rollers 4.
  • This detaching element 5 is formed from a plate 6, around whose front edge 7 of the substrate strip 2 is fed.
  • the liberated from the adhesive labels 1 substrate strip 2 then runs along the bottom of the plate 6 via further guide rollers 8 back, wraps around a draw roller 9 and passes from there in a known manner to a take-up reel, not shown.
  • the tension roller 9 is driven by a drive 10, which drive 10 comprises a drive motor 11, preferably an electric motor, from which the tension roller 9 can be driven via a peripheral drive belt 12.
  • a pressure roller 30 is employed, the substrate strip is thus clamped on the tension roller 9, so that no slippage is possible.
  • the drive motor 11 is speed controllable via a control device 13.
  • a sensor 14 is provided in this guide means 3, via which in a known manner the substrate strip 2 can be checked for the presence of adhesive labels 1. With this sensor thus faulty locations can be detected, resulting in the triggering of a signal result, which allows intervention.
  • the printed web 15 is performed, which comes from the printing device, not shown, and continues in the direction of arrow 16 at printing speed.
  • a roller 17 is arranged on the underside of the printed web 15, which serves to support the printed web 15 in this area.
  • the means 18 for applying the adhesive label 1 to the printed web 15 are arranged on the opposite side of the printed web 15.
  • These means 18 include a first roller 19 and a second roller 20.
  • the second roller 20 is driven by a drive motor 21.
  • an endless belt 22 is placed over the two rollers 19 and 20, over the two rollers 19 and 20, an endless belt 22 is placed.
  • a cam 23 is placed, which is provided in a known manner with a rubber-elastic attachment.
  • the endless belt 22, and thus the cam 23, is driven via the drive motor 21 and the second roller 20 in the direction of the arrow 24, the rotational speed substantially corresponding to the speed of the printed web passing through this device.
  • rollers 19 and 20 and the endless belt 22 a roller on which the cam 23 would be placed directly, wherein the roller should have a circumference, which would correspond to the length of the endless belt.
  • cams 23 ', 23 can be attached behind the cam 23, whereby the printing surface for the adhesive label 1 can be enlarged onto the printed web 15.
  • cams 23, 23' and 23 still more cams may be appropriate, depending on the width of the adhesive label to be stuck 1.
  • the plate 6 of the release element 5 is provided with web plates 25, by means of which the release element 5 are mounted pivotably about the axis 26 of the guide roller 27.
  • the pivotal position can be locked via known adjustment means 28.
  • the endless belt 22 has been selected so long that only a region of cams 23 and optionally cams 23 'and 23 "must be attached so that the adhesive label is always applied to the exact same location on the corresponding printed side of the printed web.
  • the endless belt 22 could also be made less long. This would require the speed of the endless belt 22 can be varied. During the application process of the adhesive label 1 to the printed web 15, the speed of the endless belt 22 corresponds approximately to the printing speed, after which the speed of the endless belt 22 could be reduced. For the next application of the following adhesive label, the speed should be increased again.
  • the means for applying the adhesive label to the printed web could be built with smaller dimensions.
  • the variation of the speed would have to be regulated.
  • Fig. 2 shows the supplied with the substrate web 2 label 1, which begins to detach during the deflection process of the substrate web 2 to the front edge 7 of the plate 6 of the detachment element 5 due to the inherent rigidity.
  • the feeding speed of the substrate strip 2 is substantially smaller than the printing speed with which the printed web 15 is carried out in the direction of the arrow 16 under the release element 5.
  • the printed web 15 is supported by the support roller 17.
  • the adhesive label 1 advances and loosens further from the substrate strip 2, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 is shown. In this case, there is still no contact between the printed web 15 and the adhesive label 1.
  • the cam 23 mounted on the moving endless belt 22 approaches the pressing portion 29.
  • the adhered adhesive label 1 moves with the printed web 15 at printing speed on, the cam 23 comes with the driven endless belt 22 from the pressure region 29, as is the case Fig. 5 is apparent.
  • the next adhesive label 1 ' is now brought to the substrate strip 2 and, with the slow speed of the substrate strip 2, approaches the contact area 29, after which the next process for attaching the next adhesive label 1' to the printed web 15 is carried out, which is the procedure described above equivalent.
