Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Transportwalze gemäß Oberbegriff Patentanspruch 1 and wie aus der US 6883576 B1 bekannt, und dabei insbesondere auf eine Schneidwalze zur Verwendung bei Etikettieraggregaten zur Verarbeitung so genannter Roll-Feed-Etiketten, d.h. von Etiketten, die aus einem endlosen bandförmigen Etikettenmaterial durch Abschneiden in einer die Schneidtrommel aufweisenden Schneidstation gebildet werden.The invention relates to a transport roller according to the preamble of claim 1 and as from US 6883576 B1 known, and in particular a cutting roller for use in labeling units for processing so-called roll-feed labels, ie labels that are formed from an endless strip-shaped label material by cutting in a cutting drum having cutting station.

Etikettieraggregate mit derartigen Schneidwalzen, die mit Meesern aufweisenden Messerwellen zusammenwirken und an deren Umfangsfläche vor dem Abtrennen des jeweiligen Etiketts zunächst das Etikettenmaterial an Vakuumöffnungen gehalten ist und dann nach dem Abtrennen auch das jeweilige Etikett selbst, sind bekannt. Es ist weiterhin bekannt, eine solche Schneidtrommel mit austauschbaren Formatteilen zu versehen, welche die Umfangsfläche der Schneidtrommel bilden. Durch Austauschen der Formatteile kann dann die Schneidwalze in Bezug auf die Anordnung und/oder Verteilung und/oder Anzahl der Vakuumöffnungen und/oder in Bezug auf die Anordnung und/oder Anzahl ihrer mit einer Messerwelle zusammenwirkenden Gegenmesser dem Format und/oder der Größe der auf Behälter aufzubringenden Etiketten optimal angepasst werden.Labeling with such cutting rollers, which interact with Meersern having cutter shafts and on the peripheral surface before the separation of the respective label first the label material is held on vacuum openings and then after the separation and the respective label itself, are known. It is also known to provide such a cutting drum with exchangeable format parts which form the peripheral surface of the cutting drum. By exchanging the format parts, the cutting roller can then determine the format and / or the size of the cutting roller in relation to the arrangement and / or distribution and / or number of vacuum openings and / or with regard to the arrangement and / or number of its counter blades cooperating with a knife shaft Container to be applied labels are optimally adapted.

Bei bekannten Schneidwalzen sind die Formatteile z.B. als Segmente eines Vollzylinders mit kreiszylinderförmiger Umfangsfläche ausgebildet und werden durch radiales Verschrauben an einem Träger befestigt. Nachteilig hierbei ist u.a. das hohe Massengewicht solcher Schneidwalzen. Weiterhin ist das Austauschen der Formatteile durch das Lösen und Wiederherstellen der Verschraubungen zeitraubend und umständlich.In known cutting rollers, the format parts are e.g. formed as segments of a solid cylinder with circular cylindrical peripheral surface and are fixed by radial screwing to a support. The disadvantage here is u.a. the high mass weight of such cutting rollers. Furthermore, the replacement of the format parts by loosening and restoring the fittings is time-consuming and cumbersome.

WO 2007/110199 gehört zum Stand der Technik nach Artikel 54(3) EPU und offenbart eine Transportwalze. WO 2007/110199 belongs to the state of the art according to Article 54 (3) EPC and discloses a transport roller.

Bekannt ist weiterhin eine Transportwalze US 6 883 576 B1 , deren Walzenfläche von wenigstens zwei austauschbaren Formatteilen oder Segmenten gebildet ist und eine Vielzahl von Vakuumöffnungen zum Halten bzw. zum Fixieren der Etiketten aufweist. Die Formatteile sind durch axiales Einspannen zwischen einem an einer Welle der Transportwalze vorgesehenen Tragelement und Spannelementen gehalten, die als Schnellspannelemente mit Spannhebel ausgebildet sind und von oben her mit Fixierstiften in hülsenartige Aufnahmen eingreifen, die an der Innenfläche der Formatteile vorgesehen sind.Also known is a transport roller US Pat. No. 6,883,576 B1 whose roller surface is formed by at least two exchangeable format parts or segments and has a plurality of vacuum openings for holding or fixing the labels. The format parts are held by axial clamping between a provided on a shaft of the transport roller support member and clamping elements, which are designed as quick-clamping elements with clamping lever and from above with Fixing pins engage in sleeve-like receptacles, which are provided on the inner surface of the format parts.

Aufgabe der Erfindung Ist es, eine Transportwalze, insbesondere Schneidwalze aufzuzeigen, bei der die Formatteile ohne großen Aufwand schnell ausgetauscht werden können. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine Transportwalze entsprechend dem Patentanspruch 1 ausgebildet.It is the object of the invention to show a transport roller, in particular a cutting roller, in which the format parts can be quickly exchanged without much effort. To solve this problem, a transport roller is formed according to claim 1.

In den Figuren ist 1 ein Etikettieraggregat einer Etikettiermaschine zum Etikettieren von Behältern 2 mit sogenannten Roll-Feed-Etiketten 3, die von einer Vorratsrolle 4 eines endlosen, bandförmigen Etikettenmaterials 3.1 abgezogen und in einer Schneidstation 5 des Etikettieraggregates 1 mit der jeweiligen Länge von Etikettenmaterial 3.1 abgeschnitten werden. Die Etiketten 3 werden anschließend über eine Etikettier- oder Übergabetrommel 6 an die Behälter 2, die auf einem um eine vertikale Maschinenachse umlaufenden Rotor 7 der Etikettiermaschine an dem Etikettieraggregat 1 vorbeibewegt werden, übergeben und aufgebracht. Die Drehrichtungen des Rotors 7 und der Übergabetrommel sind mit den Pfeilen A bzw. B angegeben. Das Etikettenmaterial 3 wird von der Rolle 4 mittels Förderwalzen 8 und 9 synchron mit der Drehbewegung des Rotors 7 abgezogen und der Schneidstation 5 zugeführt. Diese besteht im Wesentlichen aus einer Schneidwalze 10, die um eine vertikale Achse umlaufend angetrieben ist (Pfeil C) und eine kreiszylinderförmige Umfangsfläche 11 aufweist. Die Geschwindigkeit, mit der die Schneidwalze 10 um ihre vertikale Achse umläuft ist etwas größer als die Geschwindigkeit, mit der das Etikettenmaterial 3.1 zugeführt wird, sodass dieses an der Umfangsfläche 11 zunächst mit Schlupf gehalten ist, und zwar mit Unterdruck bzw. Vakuum.In the figures, 1 is a labeling unit of a labeling machine for labeling containers 2 with so-called roll-feed labels 3, which are deducted from a supply roll 4 of an endless, band-shaped label material 3.1 and 3.1 in a cutting station 5 of the labeling unit with the respective length of label material be cut off. The labels 3 are subsequently transferred and applied via a labeling or transfer drum 6 to the containers 2, which are moved past the labeling unit 1 on a rotor 7 of the labeling machine revolving around a vertical machine axis. The directions of rotation of the rotor 7 and the transfer drum are indicated by the arrows A and B respectively. The label material 3 is withdrawn from the roller 4 by means of conveyor rollers 8 and 9 synchronously with the rotational movement of the rotor 7 and fed to the cutting station 5. This consists essentially of a cutting roller 10 which is driven in rotation around a vertical axis (arrow C) and has a circular cylindrical peripheral surface 11. The speed at which the cutting roller 10 rotates about its vertical axis is slightly greater than the speed at which the label material 3.1 is supplied, so that it is initially held on the peripheral surface 11 with slippage, with vacuum or vacuum.

Der Schneidwalze 10 ist eine, um ihre Vertikalachse oszillierend angetriebene Messerwelle 12 mit einem Messer 13 zugeordnet, welches mit einem an der Umfangsfläche 11 der Schneidwalze 10 vorgesehenen Gegenmesser 14 derart zusammenwirkt, dass von dem Etikettenmaterial 3.1 jeweils die Etiketten 3 abgetrennt werden, und zwar bei der in der Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform mit dem einzigen Gegenmesser 14 bei jedem Umlauf der Schneidwalze 10 ein Etikett 3.The cutting roller 10 is associated with an oscillatingly driven about its vertical axis cutter shaft 12 with a knife 13 which cooperates with a provided on the peripheral surface 11 of the cutting roller 10 counter blade 14 such that from the label material 3.1 each of the labels. 3 be separated, namely in the in the FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment with the single counter blade 14 with each revolution of the cutting roller 10, a label. 3

Um das Etikettieraggregat 1 für Etiketten mit unterschiedlichem Format, d.h. mit unterschiedlicher Länge und/oder Höhe verwenden zu können, und zwar bei einer möglichst optimalen Fixierung der Etiketten 3 und des Etikettenmaterials 3.1 an der Umfangsfläche 11 und bei einem möglichst geringen Vakuumverbrauch, ist die Umfangsfläche 11 der Schneidwalze 10 bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform von zwei wechselbaren Formatteilen 15 und 16 gebildet. Beide Teile sind so ausgeführt, dass sie sich jeweils nahezu, d.h. bis auf einen Spalt zur Aufnahme des leistenartigen Gegenmessers 14, zu einem Hohlzylinder mit kreiszylinderförmiger Außen- bzw. Umfangsfläche 11 und auch kreiszylinderförmiger Innenfläche ergänzen und jedes Formatteil jeweils nahezu einem halben Hohlzylinder entspricht.To the labeling unit 1 for labels of different formats, i. can be used with different length and / or height, with the best possible fixation of the labels 3 and the label material 3.1 on the peripheral surface 11 and the lowest possible vacuum consumption, the peripheral surface 11 of the cutting roller 10 in the illustrated embodiment of two exchangeable Format parts 15 and 16 formed. Both parts are designed to be close to each other, i. to complement a gap for receiving the strip-like counter knife 14, to a hollow cylinder with circular cylindrical outer or peripheral surface 11 and also circular cylindrical inner surface and each format part corresponds in each case almost half a hollow cylinder.

Die Formatteile 15 und 16 sind an der die Umfangsfläche 11 der Schneidwalze 10 bildenden Außenfläche mit einer Vielzahl von Vakuumöffnungen 17 versehen, die jeweils innen liegend in jeweils einen in dem Formatteil 15 bzw. 16 ausgebildeten Vakuumkanal 18 münden. Die Vakuumkanäle 18 sind bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform jeweils von Bohrungen gebildet, die sich parallel zur Achse des Formteils 15 bzw. 16 erstrecken. Im Bereich des unteren Randes 15.1 bzw. 16.1 des Formatteils 15 bzw. 16 münden die Vakuumkanäle 18 jeweils in einem Verteilerkanal 18.1, der zu dieser Unterseite hin offen ist (Figur 3). An der Oberseite sind die die Vakuumkanäle 18 bildenden Bohrungen nur in Verwendung von Stiften 18.2 dicht verschlossen.The format parts 15 and 16 are provided on the outer surface forming the peripheral surface 11 of the cutting roller 10 with a plurality of vacuum openings 17, each of which open into a respective one formed in the format part 15 and 16 vacuum channel 18. The vacuum channels 18 are each formed in the illustrated embodiment by bores extending parallel to the axis of the molding 15 and 16 respectively. In the region of the lower edge 15.1 or 16.1 of the format part 15 or 16, respectively, the vacuum channels 18 open into a distributor channel 18.1 which is open toward this lower side (FIG. FIG. 3 ). At the top of the vacuum channels 18 forming holes are sealed only in the use of pins 18.2.

Zur Verwendung bei der Schneidwalze 10 ist jeweils ein Satz unterschiedlicher Formatteile 15 bzw. 16 vorgesehen, die zwar hinsichtlich ihrer Formgebung identisch sind, bei denen aber die Verteilung und/oder Anzahl der Vakuumöffnung 17 unterschiedlich ist, und zwar entsprechend dem Format der Etiketten 3, die mit dem betreffenden Formatteil 15 bzw. 16 verarbeitet werden sollen.For use with the cutting roller 10, a set of different format parts 15 and 16 is respectively provided, which are identical in terms of their shape, but in which the distribution and / or number of the vacuum port 17 is different, according to the format of the labels 3, to be processed with the relevant format part 15 and 16 respectively.

Die Schneidwalze 10 besteht weiterhin u.a. aus einer Welle 19, die in zwei, durch Säulen 20 voneinander beabstandeten Platinen 21 und 22 drehbar gelagert ist, und zwar mit dem oberen Ende in der Platine 21. Das untere Ende der Welle 19 steht über die der Platine 21 abgewandte Unterseite der Platine 22 vor und ist dort mit einem Zahnrad 23 für den Antrieb dieser Welle und damit der Schneidwalze 10 versehen. Zwischen den beiden Platinen 21 und 22 befindet sich mit der Welle 19 umlaufend der von den beiden Formatteilen 15 und 16 sowie dem leistenartigen Gegenmesser 14 gebildete Teile der Schneidwalze 10. Hierfür ist in der Nähe der Platine 22 auf der Welle 19 ein kreisscheibenförmiges Tragelement 24 befestigt, welches mit seiner Achse achsgleich mit der Achse der Welle 19 liegt und welches an der der Platine 22 abgewandten Oberflächenseite mit die Achse der Welle 19 umschließenden ringförmigen Konturen 24.1 versehen ist. Auf der Oberseite des Tragelementes 24 stützen sich das Gegenmesser 14 sowie auch die verwendeten Formatteile 14 und 15 mit ihrer unteren Stirnseite 15.1 bzw. 16.1 ab, und zwar derart, dass im Bereich dieser Stirnseiten gebildete Konturen formschlüssig in die Konturen 24.1 eingreifen und die mit ihren Achsen achsgleich mit der Achse der Welle 19 angeordneten Formatteile 15 und 16 dadurch zumindest gegen radial nach außen wirkende Kräfte formschlüssig am Tragelement 24 gehalten sind.The cutting roller 10 further consists inter alia of a shaft 19 which is rotatably mounted in two spaced apart by columns 20 boards 21 and 22, with the upper end in the board 21. The lower end of the shaft 19 is above the board 21 facing away from the underside of the board 22 and is there provided with a gear 23 for driving this shaft and thus the cutting roller 10. Between the two boards 21 and 22 is located with the shaft 19 circumferentially formed by the two format parts 15 and 16 and the strip-like counter blade 14 parts of the cutting roller 10. This is in the vicinity of the Board 22 on the shaft 19 a circular disk-shaped support member 24 is fixed, which lies with its axis coaxially with the axis of the shaft 19 and which is provided on the side facing away from the board 22 surface side with the axis of the shaft 19 enclosing annular contours 24.1. On the upper side of the support element 24, the counter blade 14 as well as the used format parts 14 and 15 are supported with their lower end face 15.1 or 16.1, in such a way that contours formed in the region of these end faces engage positively in the contours 24.1 and engage with their contours Axes coaxially with the axis of the shaft 19 arranged format parts 15 and 16 are thereby positively held at least against radially outwardly acting forces on the support member 24.

Im Bereich des oberen Endes der Welle 19 ist auf dieser eine Klemm- und Spannvorrichtung 25 vorgesehen, mit der das Gegenmesser 14 sowie auch die jeweils verwendeten Formatteile 15 und 16 an der Welle 19 bzw. an dem Tragelement 24 sowie auch an der Klemm- und Spannvorrichtung 25 selbst durch Klemmen bzw. Verspannen wieder lösbar gehalten sind, und zwar derart, dass die Formatteile 15 und 16 mit ihrer Innenfläche deutlich von der Welle beabstandet sind, die Schneidwalze 10 also praktisch einen Hohlzylinder mit reduzierter Masse bildet.In the region of the upper end of the shaft 19, a clamping and tensioning device 25 is provided thereon, with which the counter blade 14 as well as the respectively used format parts 15 and 16 on the shaft 19 and on the support member 24 and also on the clamping and Clamping device 25 are held releasably again by clamping or clamping, in such a way that the format parts 15 and 16 are clearly spaced with its inner surface of the shaft, the cutting roller 10 thus practically forms a hollow cylinder with reduced mass.

Die Klemm- und Spannvorrichtung 25 umfasst bei der insbesondere in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform eine Klemmscheibe 26, die achsgleich mit der Achse der an ihrem oberen Ende als Hohlwelle ausgebildeten Welle 19 angeordnet und in Achsrichtung der Welle 19 um einen gewissen Betrag verschiebbar ist (Doppelpfeil D). Die Klemmscheibe 26, die in der Nähe der Platine 21 vorgesehen ist, weist an ihrer dieser Platine abgewandten Unterseite einen die Achse der Welle 19 konzentrisch umschließenden ringartigen Vorsprung 27 auf, der bei an der Welle 19 befestigtem Gegenmesser 14 sowie Formatteilen 15 und 16 in jeweils eine teilringförmige Nut 28 eingreift, die im Bereich des oberen Endes des leistenartigen Gegenmessers 14 sowie im Bereich des oberen Randes bzw. der oberen Stirnseite 15.2 bzw. 16.2 der Formatteile 15 und 16 vorgesehen ist, und zwar bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform innen liegend und gegenüber dem oberen Ende des Gegenmessers 14 bzw. gegenüber der oberen Stirnseite 15.2 und 16.2 axial nach unten versetzt, sodass bei mit der Klemm- und Spannvorrichtung 25 an der Welle 19 befestigtem Gegenmesser 14 und Formatteilen 15 und 16 die Klemmscheibe 26 innen liegend und an der Umfangsfläche 11 der Schneidwalze 10 nicht sichtbar angeordnet ist. Dies hat u.a. den Vorteil, dass bei möglichst niedriger Bauform die Umfangsfläche 11 der Schneidwalze 10 in der Achsrichtung der Welle 19 sehr breit ausgebildet werden kann, d.h. auch Etiketten 3 mit großer Höhe bzw. Etikettenmaterial 3.1 mit großer Breite verarbeitet werden kann.The clamping and tensioning device 25 comprises in the particular in the Figures 3 and 4 illustrated embodiment, a clamping plate 26 which is arranged coaxially with the axis of the shaft formed at its upper end as a hollow shaft 19 and in the axial direction of the shaft 19 by a certain amount displaceable (double arrow D). The clamping plate 26, which is provided in the vicinity of the board 21, has on its side facing away from this board an axis of the shaft 19 concentrically enclosing ring-like projection 27, which is attached to the shaft 19 counter knife 14 and format parts 15 and 16 in each case engages a part-annular groove 28 which is provided in the region of the upper end of the strip-like counter knife 14 and in the region of the upper edge or the upper end side 15.2 and 16.2 of the format parts 15 and 16, in the illustrated embodiment, lying inside and opposite to the 15.2 and 16.2 offset axially downward relative to the upper end of the counter blade 14 and 16.2 so that when clamped and tensioning device 25 on the shaft 19 fixed counter blade 14 and format parts 15 and 16, the clamping plate 26 lying inside and on the peripheral surface eleventh the cutting roller 10 is not visible. This has the advantage, inter alia, that the peripheral surface 11 of the cutting roller 10 can be made very wide in the axial direction of the shaft 19 with the lowest possible design, ie even labels 3 with high height or label material 3.1 can be processed with a large width.

Bestandteil der Klemm- und Spannvorrichtung 25 ist weiterhin ein im Inneren der Welle 19 und achsgleich mit dieser angeordneter, stiftförmiger Druckanker 29, der um einen Bewegungshub (Doppelpfeil D) axial verschiebbar ist, und zwar zum Schließen und Öffnen der Klemm- und Spannvorrichtung 25. Der Druckanker 29 ist über einen radial zur Achse der Welle 19 und durch Schlitze in dieser Welle hindurchreichenden Stift 30 mit der Klemmscheibe 26 verbunden. Weiterhin reicht der Druckanker 29 mit seinem oberen Ende in eine Mutter 31 hinein, die mit einem Außengewinde in ein Innengewinde am oberen Ende der Welle 19 einschraubbar ist und in der der Druckanker 29 in geeigneter Weise drehbar, axial aber nicht verschiebbar gelagert ist.Part of the clamping and tensioning device 25 is further arranged in the interior of the shaft 19 and the same axis, pin-shaped pressure armature 29 which is axially displaceable about a movement stroke (double arrow D), namely for closing and opening the clamping and clamping device 25th The pressure anchor 29 is connected to the clamping disc 26 via a pin 30 extending radially to the axis of the shaft 19 and through slots in this shaft. Furthermore, the pressure armature 29 extends with its upper end into a nut 31, which is screwed with an external thread into an internal thread at the upper end of the shaft 19 and in which the pressure armature 29 is rotatably mounted in a suitable manner, but not axially displaceable.

Durch Drehen der Mutter 31 in eine Richtung wird die Klemmscheibe 26 über den Druckanker 29 nach unten bewegt und das Gegenmesser 14 sowie die Formatteile 15 und 16 zwischen der Klemmscheibe 26 und dem Trägerelement 24 formschlüssig festgespannt. Zum Lösen des Gegenmessers 14 und der Formatteile 15 und 16 wird die Mutter 31 in entgegen gesetzter Richtung gedreht, wodurch über den Druckanker 29 die Klemmscheibe 26 angehoben und der Vorsprung 27 außer Eingriff mit den Nuten 28 gebracht wird. Grundsätzlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die Klemm- und Spannvorrichtung 25 gefedert auszubilden, beispielsweise dadurch, dass der Druckanker 29 mit seinem in die Mutter 31 hineinreichenden Ende dort gegen ein Druckfederelement anliegt, sodass die Klemmbefestigung des Gegenmessers 14 und der Formatteile 15 und 16 auch zusätzlich unter Federwirkung erfolgt.By turning the nut 31 in one direction, the clamping plate 26 is moved via the pressure armature 29 down and the counter blade 14 and the format parts 15 and 16 between the clamping plate 26 and the support member 24 positively clamped. To release the counter blade 14 and the format parts 15 and 16, the nut 31 is rotated in the opposite direction, whereby the clamping plate 26 is raised via the pressure anchor 29 and the projection 27 is brought out of engagement with the grooves 28. In principle, there is also the possibility of sprung form the clamping and tensioning device 25, for example, that the pressure armature 29 abuts with its reaching into the nut 31 end there against a compression spring element, so that the clamping attachment of the counter blade 14 and the format parts 15 and 16 also in addition takes place under spring action.

Die ringförmigen Konturen 24.1 an der Oberseite des Tragelementes 24 sowie die mit diesen Konturen zusammenwirkenden entsprechenden Konturen an dem unteren Ende des Gegenmessers 14 sowie an der unteren Stirnseite 15.1 und 16.1 der Formatteile 15 und 16, aber auch der Vorsprung 27 und die zugehörige Nut 28 an den Formatteilen 15 und 16 sowie am oberen Ende des Gegenmessers 14 sind so ausgeführt, dass nach dem Verspannen das Gegenmessers 14 sowie die Formatteile 15 und 16 zwischen dem Trägerelement 24 und der Klemmscheibe 26 exakt in Bezug auf die Achse der Welle 19 positioniert bzw. zentriert sind.The annular contours 24.1 at the top of the support element 24 and the corresponding contours cooperating with these contours on the lower end of the counter blade 14 and on the lower end face 15.1 and 16.1 of the format parts 15 and 16, but also the projection 27 and the associated groove 28 at The format parts 15 and 16 and at the upper end of the counter blade 14 are designed so that after clamping the counter blade 14 and the format parts 15 and 16 between the support member 24 and the clamping plate 26 is positioned exactly in relation to the axis of the shaft 19 and centered are.

Zum Zuführen des Vakuums in die Vakuumkanäle 18 der Formatteile 15 und 16 sind in dem Tragelement 24 durchgehende Bohrungen oder Öffnungen vorgesehen, und zwar derart, dass diese Bohrungen jeweils in den Vakuumverteilerkanal 18.1 münden. Gegen die der Platine 22 zugewandte Unterseite des Tragelementes 24 liegt eine mit der Welle 19 nicht umlaufende Verteilerplatte 32 an, die einen Vakuumkanal 33 mit einer Vielzahl von Vakuumöffnungen aufweist, die nach außen hin abgedichtet jeweils über die Öffnungen im Tragelement 24 mit den Vakuumverteilerkanälen 18.1 der verwendeten Formatteile 15 und 16 in Verbindung stehen. Die Verteilerplatte 32 liegt gefedert (Federelemente 35) gegen die Unterseite des Tragelementes 24 an.For supplying the vacuum in the vacuum channels 18 of the format parts 15 and 16 24 through bores or openings are provided in the support member, in such a way that these holes each open into the vacuum distribution channel 18.1. Against the circuit board 22 facing bottom of the support member 24 is located on the non-rotating shaft 19 distributor plate 32, which has a vacuum channel 33 with a plurality of vacuum ports sealed to the outside respectively via the openings in the support member 24 with the vacuum distribution channels 18.1 of used format parts 15 and 16 in conjunction stand. The distributor plate 32 is spring-loaded (spring elements 35) against the underside of the support element 24.

Die Figur 5 zeigt in einer Darstellung ähnlich der Figur 4 als weitere Ausführungsform eine Klemm- und Spannvorrichtung 25a, die sich von der Klemm- und Spannvorrichtung 25 im Wesentlichen nur dadurch unterscheidet, dass die Klemm- bzw. Einspannkraft, mit der das Gegenmesser 14 sowie die verwendeten Formatteile 15 und 16 zwischen der oberen Klemmscheibe 26 und dem unteren Tragelement 24 eingespannt sind, von einer Federanordnung 36 erzeugt wird, die zwischen einem Bund oder Absatz 19.1 der Welle 19 und der Klemmscheibe 26 wirkt. Ein Zuganker 29a dient bei dieser Ausführungsform zum Anheben der Klemmscheibe 26 gegen die Wirkung der Federanordnung 36, und zwar für das Lösen der Klemm- und Spannvorrichtung 25a beim Austauschen der Formatteile 15 und 16.The FIG. 5 shows in a representation similar to the FIG. 4 as a further embodiment, a clamping and clamping device 25a, which differs from the clamping and clamping device 25 substantially only in that the clamping or clamping force with which the counter blade 14 and the used format parts 15 and 16 between the upper clamping plate 26th and the lower support member 24 are clamped, is generated by a spring assembly 36 which acts between a collar or shoulder 19.1 of the shaft 19 and the clamping plate 26. A tie rod 29a is used in this embodiment for lifting the clamping plate 26 against the action of the spring assembly 36, for releasing the clamping and tensioning device 25a when replacing the format parts 15 and 16th

Die Figur 6 zeigt nochmals die beiden Formatteile 15 und 16. In dieser Figur sind mit den Begrenzungslinien 37 und 38 verschiedene Bereiche an der Umfangsfläche 11 definiert, in denen (Oberflächenbereiche) bei für unterschiedliche Etiketten 3 bestimmte Formatteile die entsprechenden Vakuumöffnungen 17 vorgesehen sind.The FIG. 6 again shows the two format parts 15 and 16. In this figure, with the boundary lines 37 and 38 different areas defined on the peripheral surface 11, in which (surface areas) provided for different labels 3 format parts the corresponding vacuum openings 17 are provided.

Weiterhin ist in der Figur 6 ein Handgriff 39 gezeigt, der lösbar mit den Formatteilen 15 und 16 verbunden werden kann, und zwar derart, dass dieser Griff vorzugsweise radial oder annähernd radial von dem jeweiligen Formatteil 15 bzw. 16 weg steht. Durch den Griff 39 kann der Ein- und Ausbau der Formatteile 15 und 16 wesentlich vereinfacht werden. Die lösbare Befestigung des Griffes 39 ist dadurch realisiert, dass an dem Ende des Griffschaftes 39.1 ein Außengewinde vorgesehen ist, welches in ein Innengewinde 40 an der Außenfläche des jeweiligen Formatteils 15 und 16 einschraubbar ist. Dieses Innengewinde 40 ist selbstverständlich dort vorgesehen, wo sich keine Vakuumöffnungen 17 befinden.Furthermore, in the FIG. 6 a handle 39 is shown, which can be releasably connected to the format parts 15 and 16, in such a way that this handle is preferably radially or approximately radially away from the respective format part 15 and 16, respectively. By the handle 39 of the installation and removal of the format parts 15 and 16 can be substantially simplified. The releasable attachment of the handle 39 is realized in that at the end of the handle shaft 39.1, an external thread is provided, which is screwed into an internal thread 40 on the outer surface of the respective format part 15 and 16. Of course, this internal thread 40 is provided where no vacuum openings 17 are located.
