Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Ausstatten von Gegenständen mit einem Rundumetikett.The invention relates to a device for equipping objects with a wrap-around label.

Es ist seit geraumer Zeit Stand der Technik, Gegenstände, insbesondere Behälter wie Flaschen, Dosen oder dgl. an ihrer Mantelfläche mit einem aus einem rechteckigen Zuschnitt gebildeten Rundumetikett zu versehen, das durch Aufwickeln auf die Mantelfläche eines Gegenstandes gebracht wird, wobei die Etikettenendkante die Etikettenanfangskante überlappt und mit dieser dauerhaft verbunden wird, z.B. durch Klebstoff oder Lösungsmittel. Üblicherweise wird ein Etikettenzuschnitt vor dem Aufwickeln auf einen Gegenstand durch Abtrennen von einer Etikettenrolle erzeugt und mit einer rotierenden Transfereinrichtung, insbesondere Vakuumtrommel, auf den Gegenstand aufgerollt. Für diese Art von Etikettierung gibt es zahlreiche sehr wirtschaftlich und leistungsfähig arbeitende Etikettiervorrichtungen auf dem Markt ( US 4 758 300 , US 5 116 452 , US 5 160 570 , US 4 923 557 , EP 1 270 426 A1 , DE 10 2004 047 595 A1 , DE 20 2004 013 947 U1 , DE 91 02 676 U1 ). Die Druckschrift WO 2007/005396 A1 offenbart eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.It has for some time prior art, objects, especially containers such as bottles, cans or the like. To provide on its outer surface with a formed from a rectangular blank wrap around label, which is brought by winding on the lateral surface of an object, the label end edge of the label initial edge overlapped and permanently connected to it, for example by adhesive or solvent. Usually, a label blank is produced prior to winding onto an object by separating from a label roll and rolled with a rotating transfer device, in particular vacuum drum, on the object. For this type of labeling there are many very economical and efficient labeling devices on the market ( US 4,758,300 . US 5,116,452 . US 5,160,570 . US 4,923,557 . EP 1 270 426 A1 . DE 10 2004 047 595 A1 . DE 20 2004 013 947 U1 . DE 91 02 676 U1 ). The publication WO 2007/005396 A1 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Des weiteren ist die Verwendung von beidseitig bedruckten Etiketten bekannt, die also auch auf der zum Gegenstand weisenden Innenseite Informationen für den Verbraucher aufweisen und demzufolge zunächst vom etikettierten Gegenstand abgelöst werden müssen, um die Rückseite betrachten zu können. Hierfür kann ein Etikett eine Aufreißlinie bzw. einen Aufreißfaden besitzen, der ein einfaches Ablösen des Etiketts ermöglichen soll. Nachteiligerweise sind derart präparierte Etiketten teuerer als konventionelle Etiketten und können zudem im Falle von elastischen Gegenständen, die sich beispielsweise bei Erwärmung oder bei einem Innendruckanstieg ausdehnen, unbeabsichtigt aufreißen bzw. abplatzen.Furthermore, the use of double-sided printed labels is known, which therefore also have information on the object facing the inside information for the consumer and therefore must first be replaced by the labeled object to view the back. For this purpose, a label may have a tear line or a tear thread, the one to allow easy detachment of the label. Disadvantageously, such prepared labels are more expensive than conventional labels and can also in the case of elastic objects that expand, for example, when heated or an internal pressure increase, accidentally rupture or flake off.

Der Erfindung liegt demzufolge die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Ausstatten von Gegenständen mit einem Rundumetikett anzugeben, das kostengünstig verarbeitet werden kann, leicht von einem Gegenstand entfernbar ist und trotzdem bei unterschiedlichsten Bedingungen zuverlässig an einem Gegenstand haftet.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a device for furnishing articles with a wrap-around label, which can be processed inexpensively, is easily removable from an object and still reliably adheres to an object under different conditions.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.This problem is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß umfasst die Vorrichtung eine rotierende Transfereinrichtung zum Aufbringen des Rundumetiketts, z.B. einen Vakuumzylinder, deren Tragfläche für die Etikettenendkänte in dem oberen und/oder unteren Eckbereich der Etikettenendkante zugeordneten Flächenanteilen radial einwärts verlaufend geformt ist. Somit sind die Flächenanteile der Eckbereiche näher zur Rotationsachse beabstandet als die verbleibende Tragfläche. Dadurch weisen die vorgesehenen Etikettenecken einen Abstand zu einer Adhäsionseinrichtung, beispielsweise der Oberfläche einer Leimwalze, auf und erlangen beim Vorbeiführen des Rundumetiketts an der Adhäsionseinrichtung keine haftenden Eigenschaften. Die Adhäsionseinrichtung überträgt also auf den mindestens einen Eckbereich des Rundumetiketts kein Haftmittel, wodurch der mindestens eine Eckbereich keinen klebenden Zustand erlangt.According to the invention, the device comprises a rotating transfer device for applying the wrap-around label, for example a vacuum cylinder, the support surface of which is shaped radially inward for the label endcaps in the upper and / or lower corner region of the label end edge. Thus, the surface portions of the corner regions are spaced closer to the axis of rotation than the remaining support surface. As a result, the provided label corners are at a distance from an adhesion device, for example the surface of a glue roller, and do not acquire any adhesive properties when the wrap-around label is carried past the adhesion device. The adhesion device thus transmits no to the at least one corner region of the wrap-around label Adhesive, whereby the at least one corner region does not obtain an adhesive state.

Der überwiegende Bereich der Etikettenendkante wird aber nach wie vor in einen adhäsiven Zustand versetzt, indem beispielsweise ein-vertikaler Leimstreifen aus Heißleim oder dgl. aufgetragen, oder bei einem Kunststoffetikett ggf. ein kurzzeitiger Kontakt zu einer beheizten Fläche hergestellt wird.The overwhelming area of the label end edge, however, is still placed in an adhesive state, for example by applying a vertical glue strip of hot glue or the like, or in the case of a plastic label possibly making a short-term contact with a heated surface.

Durch diese Maßnahmen wird der mindestens eine Eckbereich im Gegensatz zum überwiegenden Bereich der Etikettenendkante nicht adhäsiv mit der Etikettenanfangskante des Rundumetiketts verbunden. Ausgehend von dieser unbefestigten Etikettenecke kann somit ein schnelles Aufreißen der Überlappungsverbindung erfolgen, ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand für spezielle Etiketten oder Sondereinrichtungen zum Erzeugen von Perforationslinien in Kauf nehmen zu müssen.As a result of these measures, the at least one corner region, in contrast to the predominant region of the label end edge, is not adhesively connected to the label start edge of the wrap-around label. Starting from this unsecured label corner can thus be carried out a rapid tearing of the overlap connection, without having to take additional effort for special labels or special equipment for the production of perforation lines in purchasing.

Auch kann im Falle einer Leimwalze deren Oberfläche nur in den für eine Leimübertragung vorgesehenen Bereichen eine leimaufnehmende Strukturierung aufweisen, während alle übrigen Abschnitte der Walze eine glatte, leimfreie Beschaffenheit besitzen, d.h. die den Eckbereichen zugeordneten Oberflächenzonen wären glatt auszubilden. Durch einen an der glatten Oberfläche spaltfrei anliegenden Schaber erfolgt nur in den strukturierten Oberflächenbereichen ein Leimübertrag auf das Etikett.Also, in the case of a sizing roll, the surface thereof may have a sizing structure only in the areas intended for size transfer, while all other portions of the roll have a smooth, non-sizing nature, i. the surface zones associated with the corner regions would be smooth. By means of a scraper resting against the smooth surface, a glue transfer to the label takes place only in the structured surface areas.

Im Nachfolgenden wird ein besonders bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel anhand der Figuren erläutert. Es zeigt:

Fig. 1
eine Mantelabwicklung eines einteiligen Vakuumzylinders zum Vorbeiführen eines Rundumetiketts an einer Leimwalze und Übertragen auf einen Gegenstand,
Fig. 2
eine Draufsicht auf die Tragfläche des Vakuumzylinders für die Etikettenendkante eines Rundumetiketts und
Fig. 3
ein Rundumetikett nach dem Aufbringen von Leimzonen und beim Aufwickeln auf einen Gegenstand in jeweils perspektivischer Darstellung.
In the following, a particularly preferred embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. It shows:
Fig. 1
a jacket unwinding of a one-piece vacuum cylinder for passing a wrap-around label on a glue roller and transferring it to an object,
Fig. 2
a plan view of the support surface of the vacuum cylinder for the label end edge of a wrap-around label and
Fig. 3
a wrap around label after the application of glue zones and when winding on an object in each perspective view.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt die Mantelabwicklung eines einteiligen Vakuumzylinders, der einen prinzipiell gleichen Aufbau aufweist wie der aus EP 1 270 426 A1 bekannte Vakuumzylinder, der allerdings drei Teilungsabstände besitzt.The Fig. 1 shows the Mantelabwicklung a one-piece vacuum cylinder, which has a basically the same structure as that of EP 1 270 426 A1 known vacuum cylinder, however, has three pitches.

In die Mantelfläche M eingebettet sind zwei entsprechend der Etikettenlänge beabstandete, elastische Saugleisten S1 und S2, deren äußere Oberfläche gegenüber der übrigen Mantelfläche geringfügig radial nach außen überstehend ausgebildet ist, oder die im Falle von radial beweglich als Schieber ausgeführten Saugleisten zur Leimaufnahme an einer Leimwalze aus der Mantelfläche radial nach außen vorsteuerbar ist.Embedded in the lateral surface M are two according to the label length spaced, elastic suction strips S1 and S2, the outer surface of which over the remaining lateral surface slightly radially outwardly protruding, or in the case of radially movable slide designed as a squeegee for Leimaufnahme on a glue roller the lateral surface is radially outwardly vorsteuerbar.

Die mit S1 bezeichnete Saugleiste dient zur Aufnahme der in Drehrichtung des Vakuumzylinders voraus laufenden Etikettenvorderkante V und die Saugleiste S2 bildet eine Tragfläche für die nachlaufende Etikettenendkante H eines nach dem Aufbringen auf einen Gegenstand F überlappenden Rundumetiketts R.The suction strip denoted by S1 serves to receive the preceding in the direction of rotation of the vacuum cylinder label leading edge V and the squeegee S2 forms a support surface for the trailing label end H of a after application to an object F overlapping wrap-around label R.

Gegenüber der Gestaltung der bisher aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Saugleisten weist die vorliegende Saugleiste S2 in ihrem oberen Eckbereich, der die Tragfläche für die obere Etikettenecke O an der Etikettenendkante H des Rundumetiketts R bildet, einen radial von der Peripherie schräg einwärts in Richtung zur Rotationsachse des Vakuumzylinders geformten, schräg abgeflachten Eckabschnitt E auf, der wenigstens eine Vakuumbohrung B besitzt, um die besagte obere Etikettenecke O an der nachlaufenden Endkante H radial nach innen halten zu können, derart, dass diese Etikettenecke O nicht mehr in der die Leimwalzenoberfläche L tangierenden Peripherie der übrigen Saugleistenoberfläche liegt. Aus diesem Grund weist die nach innen gezogene Etikettenecke O einen Abstand zur Leimwalzenoberfläche L und erhält keinen Leimauftrag.Compared to the design of the previously known from the prior art suction bars, the present squeegee S2 has in its upper corner, which forms the support surface for the upper label corner O at the Etikettenendkante H of the wrap-around label R, a radially from the periphery obliquely inwardly toward the axis of rotation the vacuum cylinder shaped, obliquely flattened corner portion E, which has at least one vacuum bore B to the said upper label corner O at the trailing end edge H to hold radially inward can, such that this label corner O is no longer in the Leimwalzenoberfläche L tangent periphery the remaining Saugleistenoberfläche lies. For this reason, the drawn-in label corner O has a distance from the glue roller surface L and receives no glue application.

Nach dem vollständigen Aufwickeln des Rundumetiketts R auf einen Gegenstand F, z.B. eine Getränkeflasche, weist die unbeleimte Ecke der Etikettenendkante H keine Klebeverbindung zu der innen liegenden, überlappten Etikettenvorderkante V auf und kann an dieser Stelle leicht manuell erfasst und zum späteren Aufreißen des Etiketts genutzt werden.After completely wrapping the wrap-around label R on an article F, e.g. a beverage bottle, the non-glued corner of the label end edge H no adhesive bond to the inside, overlapped label leading edge V and can be easily detected manually at this point and used for later tearing of the label.

Zum Anheften und Aufwickeln des Rundumetiketts R auf den Gegenstand F kann die Etikettenvorderkante V in herkömmlicher Art mit einer vertikal vom oberen bis zum unteren Etikettenrand durchgehenden Leimzone Z1 versehen werden. Die Leimzone Z2 an der Etikettenendkante H weist dagegen im oberen Eckbereich O des Etiketts eine in etwa dreieckförmige, leimfreie Ausnehmung auf (siehe Fig. 3).For attaching and winding the wrap-around label R on the article F, the label leading edge V can be provided in a conventional manner with a glue zone Z1 extending vertically from the top to the bottom label edge. In contrast, the glue zone Z2 at the label end edge H has an approximately triangular, glue-free recess in the upper corner region O of the label (see FIG Fig. 3 ).

Die vorstehend beschriebene Vorrichtung ist zur Verarbeitung von Etiketten aus Papier oder Kunststoff gleichermaßen geeignet.The device described above is equally suitable for processing labels made of paper or plastic.

Die zu etikettierenden Gegenstände können aus einem starren Material wie Glas, Metall oder dgl. oder einem elastischen Werkstoff wie z.B. Kunststoff bestehen.The articles to be labeled may be made of a rigid material such as glass, metal or the like, or an elastic material such as glass. Plastic exist.
