Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for automatically detaching adhesive units applied on equidistant positions X on a detaching point or roll thereof, said adhesive units having a thickness D being situated on a mostly rolled-up band or strip-shaped carrier, called dispenser.
  • band or strip-shaped mostly rolled-up carrier holding adhesive units.
  • the band or strip-shaped carrier is mostly made of silicone paper.
  • a device or dispenser is modified in such a way, that said band or strip-shaped carrier with adhesive units and with thickness D is lead around a rotating roller and detaching roller and subsequently by driving means, in which said rotating roller with a portion of its circumference rotates the band or strip-shaped carrier with adhesive units at one side against a first tangent point of the spring-loaded rotatable lever, in which against a second tangent point of said spring-loaded rotatable lever detection means are provided for determining the thickness D of the adhesive units.
  • the advantage is that the intermediate thickness D of the adhesive units is enlarged and can thus be easily determined with relatively inexpensive detecting means, and with the help of further electronics the band or strip-shaped carrier with adhesive unit will be stopped at the desired location and at the most suitable angle on the detaching roller. Then, the adhesive unit can be detached from the carrier by an object and after that, the band or strip-shaped carrier rotates further.
  • the device according to the invention is further developed in such a way, characterized in that said spring-loaded rotatable lever is mounted pivoting at one end and is pressed against said rotating roller at the other end by means of a spring.
  • the advantage is a system operating flawlessly.
  • the device according to the invention is further developed in such a way, characterized in that said detecting means comprise an electric recorder, said electric recorder being a micro switch, an inductive or capacitive recorder or a photo cell.
  • the device according to the invention is further developed in such a way, characterized in that said driving means comprise a driven roller and a spring-loaded pressure roller contacting it, with said carrier extending between them.
  • the advantage is that the band or strip-shaped carrier will be pulled through the device or dispenser without difficulty.
  • the device according to the invention is further developed in such a way, characterized in that said rotating roller is provided with an anti-adhesive coating.
  • the advantage is that the adhesive units will not stick to the rotating roller, which would cause defects in the process.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a perspective view of a band or strip-shaped carrier 1 having adhesive units 2 on the roll 20.
  • the carrier 1 is mostly manufactured from silicone paper. This usual and well-known embodiment has the property, that unwinding, the row of adhesive units 2 will always remain on the same side of the carrier.
  • the adhesive units can be detached manually or with a special device of dispenser, in order to generally apply them on an object or to stick an object at some position.
  • the band or strip-shaped carriers 1 should be indexed with the adhesive units 2 in order to stop timely on a detaching roller, and then start again, so that the process of operation can continue in the best possible way.
  • Figure 2 illustrates in a side view the simplest embodiment of the mechanism according to the invention for measuring the thickness D of the adhesive units 2.
  • the band or strip-shaped carrier 1 having the adhesive units 2 thereon is led tightly around the freely rotatable rotating roller 3.
  • the circumference of the rotating roller 3 is provided with a commercially available anti-adhesive coating 8, for example, a plasma coating.
  • a commercially available anti-adhesive coating 8 for example, a plasma coating.
  • a plasma coating for example, a plasma coating.
  • the backside of the band or strip-shaped carrier 1 glides over the said rotatable lever 4 during the speed-up cycle and pushes the rotatable lever 4 with the adhesive unit 2 with thickness D away from the rotating roller 3.
  • the specially developed rotatable lever 4 makes it possible to enlarge the thus created movement up to a clear measurable difference that subsequently can be detected with an electric recorder 5.
  • the electric recorder 5 can, for example, be a micro switch, an inductive or capacitive recorder or a photocell. With this signal the drive of the band or strip-shaped carrier 1 can stop the band or strip-shaped carrier 1 at the right moment.
  • the adhesive units 2 with a thickness D from 0,1 mm and up, with a fixed passage X, which can be of different values, can be processed in the dispenser according to the invention.
  • band or strip-shaped carriers 1 with adhesive units 2 with other passage values X can be used in the dispenser according to the invention. So also band or strip-shaped carriers 1 with adhesive units 2 provided with optical or mechanical detection means.
  • the adhesive units 2 can consist of homogeneous cold-adhesive thermoplastic round-, square- or oval-shaped glue drops.
  • the figures show round-shaped glue drops.
  • FIG. 3 A variant of the invention is indicated in figure 3 .
  • a freely rotatable counter roll 10 is mounted on the spring-loaded rotatable lever 4 .
  • the working is similar to the embodiment of figure 2 .
  • the dispenser can be further optimalized by making one or more thickness detection components individually adjustable. Making an even more accurate detection possible.
  • the point of rotation 11 of the spring-loaded rotatable lever 4 is constructed displacable.
  • the rotatable lever 4 can have a fixed hingeable location 13 beside the electric recorder 5.
  • the rotatable lever 4 has a displacable rotating point 13 (for example eccentric), but the location is fixed for constructive reasons.
  • the switch point can then be adjusted by means of a variable screw 12 in the rotatable lever 4.
  • Displacing the rotating point 11 can be done, for example, by turning the rotating point 11 by means of an eccentric movement (fine-tuning).
  • Figure 5 shows a possible set-up of the driving means 15, 16.
  • the spring-loaded pressure roller 16 pushes the carrier 1 against the driving roller 15.
  • the band or strip-shaped carrier 1 with adhesive units 2 is lead from the rotating roller 3 to the detaching roller 14 and subsequently through the driving means 15, 16.
  • the driving roller 15 is also provided with an anti-adhesive layer of silicon rubber.
  • Figure 5 shows a solution, in which the detaching roller 14 is mounted horizontally adjustable in a groove 17. By sliding the position of the detaching roller 14, every product with a differing passage value X the adhesive unit 2 can still be offered at the desired position.
  • Figure 6 shows the situation, in which the detaching roller 14 is moved to the right with the result that the adhesive unit 2 is positioned diagonally in front of the detaching roller 14, which can be useful for some end users.
