Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatic machine and a method for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film and also a relative packaging.
  • Document EP 1 188 670 discloses a method and a machine for wrapping printed products in a packaging material according to the preamble of claim 10, respectively 1, wherein a feeder supplies and deposits at least two printed products next to each other on a web of packaging material for packaging the same and cutting separate packages.
  • Document US 4,035,984 and GB 2 088 811 disclose wrapping methods and apparatuses for pairs of tubular particles.
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide an automatic machine and a method for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film to provide a relative packaging in which the product and its contents, as also the content of editorial inserts and gadgets, are more visible.
  • the present invention provides an automatic machine and a method for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film, in which the relative packaging can be easily stacked.
  • the present invention provides an automatic machine and a method for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film, which is particularly simple and functional, with reduced costs.
  • the first page of the cover which in figure 2 is facing downwards, can for example show either the cover of the main magazine or a false cover carrying the bar code with the sales price of the magazine in its promotional form.
  • the second page of the cover schematized in the figure as side "B"
  • the gadget such as an audio disk or video, a book or other object, should in fact be positioned on the fourth page of the cover, also not visible in figure 2 .
  • the packaging 100 envisages the presence of two bags 101 for the products 11 and 11', which are closed and separate from each other.
  • two further containment areas 102 for labels 103 are situated at an upper end of the bags 101.
  • An overlapping band of the packaging is therefore formed, on which, for example, information necessary for identifying the product and inserts, as also the sales price as a promotional offer or the like, can be visualized.
  • Each of the containment areas 102 for labels 103, in addition to the bags 101 for the editorial products 11 and/or gadgets 11' are closed on all sides by means of weldings 104 or a folding 105 of the film.
  • the packaging 100 can be folded, at the end of the packaging process in the machine, along the intermediate longitudinal welding line 104 to create a conformation with a limited encumbrance.
  • the automatic packaging machine 10 comprises a first feeder 13 which longitudinally transfers the first product 11 onto a main pusher conveyor 14 according to the advance direction schematized with the arrow F.
  • said first product 11 is fed with its cover facing downwards and forms the most visible product at the end of the packaging.
  • the main conveyor 14 is flanked in a first section by at least one transversal feeder 15 for the feeding of other products, such as inserts, magazines, newspapers, leaflets or a series of these, in a stacked position with respect to the first product.
  • Each of the transversal feeders 15 feeds a different product 11 onto the first conveyor, providing the possibility of packaging a series of products 11 in a first bag 101.
  • the main conveyor 14 is flanked by a further pusher conveyor 16 for transporting a third and possibly fourth product 11' towards a packaging station 20.
  • Feeding means 17, such as automatic feeders for graphic editorial products or robotized feeders for gadgets, audio disks and videos, or other items are arranged to the side of the second pusher conveyor 16.
  • Both conveyors comprise lateral guides 18, which can be adjusted on the basis of the dimensions of the products transported thereon.
  • the second conveyor 16 also has its own interaxis 19 which can be moved sideways to flank the second conveyor 16 alongside the first conveyor 14.
  • Figures 3A and 3B respectively, schematically show, in a transversal section, the two conveyors 14 and 16 parallel to each other carrying products 11 having different side encumbrances.
  • phase of the pusher of the second conveyor 16 can be modified as desired with respect to the phase of the pusher of the main conveyor 14, as specific autonomous motors, not shown, are provided, which operate in correlation with the motor of the main conveyor 14.
  • two labelling machines 22 are situated along the unwinding run of the packaging film 12 for the positioning of labels 103 either preprinted and/or to be printed with fixed and/or variable data.
  • the labelling machines 22 apply the labels 103 in pairs to the film 12 transversally with respect to the feeding direction F and at a distance from each other corresponding to a pre-established length greater than the length of the editorial products 11 to be packaged.
  • the labels 103 can all be the same and fed from a roll, not shown.
  • a perforator of the known type and not shown in the figure, can also be assembled on the machine 10, which acts on the film 12 in correspondence with the label 103 applied, creating a hole suitable for hanging the production of packages 100.
  • the mechanical conformer 21 winds the film around the products 11, which are fed from the two conveyors to the packaging station 20.
  • a longitudinal closing device 23 of the known type and schematically shown in figure 1 is for example a wheel welder, a glue dispenser, an ultrasonic welder, or another device, which effects an intermediate longitudinal welding 104 for separating the two flanked bags 101 containing the products 11 and 11'.
  • the longitudinal welding 104 also forms the welding of the film 12 ( figure 4A ).
  • the film 12 can also be indifferently folded only along one edge of the editorial products 11', as shown in figure 4B .
  • the intermediate longitudinal welding 104 separates the two bags 101 and a further longitudinal welder 24, positioned laterally, effects the welding with a side trimming of the excess film 106 and closing of the packaging 100, as schematically shown in the sectional detail of figure 5 .
  • the longitudinal closing device 23 can also be set up for effecting a longitudinal cut, if the machine is to be converted for the production of single packagings, for example as an emergency line in the case of damage to the other lines for single packaging.
  • double welding bars 26 also of the known type and only shown schematically in the detail of figure 6 , also effect two transversal weldings 107 of the plastic film which close the packaging 100, i.e. they separate the bags 101 from the containment areas of the labels 102, and separate the packaging 100 from the film 12 being fed.
  • An overturning device 27 which allows the superimposition of the two bags 101, comprises a base belt which effects a torsion suitable for overturning the product 11' which is alongside the main product 11 on top of the latter thus reducing the encumbrance of the packaging machine, as schematically shown in the detail of figure 7 .
  • the automatic machine 10 for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film according to the present invention can also comprise further known devices, such as an accumulator, a manipulator, a conveyor towards subsequent packaging machines, or other devices.
  • the automatic packaging machine, object of the present invention can also be advantageously used for the packaging of single products with a high productivity.
