Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packing machine and method for producing a rigid packet of cigarettes.
  • Rigid, hinged-lid packets of cigarettes are currently the most widely marketed, by being easy to produce, easy and practical to use, and effectively protecting the cigarettes inside.
  • a rigid, hinged-lid packet of cigarettes comprises an inner package (defined by a group of cigarettes wrapped in a sheet of foil); and a rigid outer package housing the inner package.
  • the outer package comprises a cup-shaped container, which houses the group of cigarettes and in turn comprises an open top end, and a cup-shaped lid hinged to the container along a hinge to rotate, with respect to the container, between an open position and a closed position opening and closing the open end respectively.
  • a folded collar is normally connected to the inside of the container to project partly outwards of the open end and engage a corresponding inner surface of the lid when the lid is in the closed position.
  • the X2, X3 and X6 packing machines produced by G.D S.p.A. comprise a horizontal packing wheel (i.e. mounted to rotate about a vertical axis of rotation), on which a collar is applied to and then folded into a U about each inner package.
  • the packing wheel comprises a number of peripheral pockets, which are rotated in steps about the axis of rotation and each fed successively through a collar feed station, where the pocket is fed with a flat collar; an inner package feed station, where an inner package is inserted inside the pocket, and the collar supplied previously folds into a U about the inner package; and an unloading station, where the inner package, with the collar folded into a U about it, is expelled from the pocket and transferred to a follow-up packing wheel.
  • the X2, X3 and X6 packing machines comprise a gumming station for applying at least one spot of gum to each collar, and which is located along a conveyor for feeding the collars successively to the collar feed station.
  • the collar route between the gumming station and the inner package feed station has been found to present extensive gum splatter, which is caused by gum throw-off from the collars as a result of acceleration of the collars as they are manipulated, results in fouling of the packing machine, and must be cleaned off when the machine is stopped, thus increasing maintenance cost.
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a rigid packet of cigarettes comprising a cup-shaped cardboard outer container 2, and an inner package 3 housed inside container 2.
  • Inner package 3 encloses a parallelepiped-shaped group 4 of cigarettes (shown in Figure 4 ), and has, at the top and front, a cigarette extraction opening that is torn open when packet 1 of cigarettes in unsealed.
  • Outer container 2 has an open top end 5; and a cup-shaped lid 6 hinged to container 2 along a hinge 7 (shown in Figure 3 ) to rotate, with respect to container 2, between an open position ( Figure 2 ) and a closed position ( Figures 1 and 3 ) opening and closing open top end 5 respectively.
  • outer container 2 When lid 6 is closed, outer container 2 is in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped comprising a top wall 8 and an opposite parallel bottom wall 9; a front wall 10 and an opposite parallel rear wall 11; and two opposite parallel lateral walls 12.
  • Packet 1 also comprises a collar 13, which is folded into a U and fixed (normally gummed) to the inside of outer container 2 to project partly outwards of open top end 5 and engage a corresponding inner surface of lid 6 when lid 6 is in the closed position.
  • Collar 13 is made of rigid cardboard, and comprises a front wall 14 positioned contacting front wall 10 of outer container 2; and two lateral walls 15 located on opposite sides of front wall 14 and positioned contacting lateral walls 12 of outer container 2.
  • collar 13 has two projections 16, which project laterally to interfere with the lateral walls of lid 6 and keep lid 6 in the closed position.
  • Number 17 in Figure 4 indicates as a whole an X2, X3 or X6 cigarette packing machine manufactured by G.D S.p.A.
  • Packing machine 17 comprises a known group-forming line 18 (only shown partly) for forming groups 4 of cigarettes; and a first transfer wheel 19 which rotates in steps about a horizontal axis of rotation 20 to successively receive and transfer groups 4 to a second packing wheel 21 at a transfer station 22.
  • Second packing wheel 21 is mounted to rotate in steps about an axis of rotation 23 parallel to axis of rotation 20, and comprises a number of peripheral pockets 24, each for receiving a group 4 of cigarettes together with a respective sheet 25 of flexible foil wrapping material fed to transfer station 22 by a feed line 26. Second packing wheel 21 folds each sheet 25 of wrapping material about respective group 4 of cigarettes to form an inner package 3.
  • Packing machine 17 also comprises a third packing wheel 27 which rotates in steps about a vertical axis of rotation 28 crosswise to axis of rotation 20.
  • Third packing wheel 27 comprises a number of peripheral pockets 29, each of which is rotated in steps about axis of rotation 28 and fed successively through a feed station 30 for supplying creased cardboard collars 13, and where pocket 29 is supplied with a flat collar 13; a transfer station 31 for transferring inner packages 3, and where an inner package 3 is inserted inside pocket 29, and the previously supplied collar 13 folds into a U about the inner package; and, finally, a transfer station 32, where inner package 3, with collar 13 folded into a U about it, is expelled from pocket 29 and transferred to a fourth packing wheel 33.
  • Collars 13 are fed to feed station 30 by a feed line 34, and are obtained in known manner from a continuous strip of cardboard unwound off a reel 35.
  • Fourth packing wheel 33 rotates in steps about an axis of rotation 36 parallel to axis of rotation 28, is structurally identical to third packing wheel 27, and comprises a number of peripheral pockets 37.
  • each rectangular parallelepiped-shaped inner package 3 is positioned flat, i.e. with a minor lateral surface facing outwards, and with its longitudinal axis (parallel to the axes of the cigarettes) crosswise to axes of rotation 28 and 36, and tangential with respect to the periphery of packing wheel 27, 33.
  • Fifth packing wheel 40 is mounted to rotate in steps about a horizontal axis of rotation 41 parallel to axis of rotation 20, receives each inner package 3 and respective collar 13 together with a respective rigid blank 42 fed to transfer station 38 by a feed line 43, and folds each blank 42 about respective inner package 3 to form a packet 1 of cigarettes, in which inner package 3 is housed inside an outer container 2 (shown in Figures 1-3 ) formed by folding blank 42.
  • Packets 1 are fed successively from fifth packing wheel 40 to a sixth transfer wheel 44 at a transfer station 45. More specifically, each packet 1 reaching transfer station 45 is positioned on edge on the periphery of fifth packing wheel 40, i.e. with a major lateral surface of packet 1 facing outwards, and with the longitudinal axis of packet 1 (parallel to the cigarettes) parallel to the axis of rotation 41 of fifth packing wheel 40.
  • Sixth transfer wheel 44 rotates in steps about a vertical axis of rotation 46 crosswise to axis of rotation 41 of fifth packing wheel 40, and, at transfer station 45, receives packets 1 successively from fifth packing wheel 40, and transfers packets 1 to a drying area 47 (not shown) at a transfer station 48. Drying area 47 constitutes the output of packing machine 17, and feeds packets 1 to a follow-up cellophaning machine (not shown) which applies a transparent plastic overwrapping about each packet 1.
  • feed line 34 for supplying collars 13 comprises a belt conveyor 49 which feeds collars 13 successively to feed station 30, and comprises two parallel belts, on which projections 50 define seats for housing collars 13; and a transfer device 51 at feed station 30 removes a collar 13 off the output end of belt conveyor 49, and places it inside a pocket 29.
  • Transfer device 51 comprises a powered arm 52 mounted to rotate about a vertical axis of rotation 53 parallel to axis of rotation 28 of packing wheel 27; and a suction grip head 54 fitted to arm 52.
  • transfer device 51 is rotated cyclically about axis of rotation 53 between a pickup position (shown by the continuous line in Figure 5 ), in which suction grip head 54 picks up a collar 13, and a release position (shown by the partial dash line in Figure 5 ), in which suction grip head 54 releases collar 13.
  • arm 52 is mounted to also rotate about a further, horizontal, axis of rotation 55 perpendicular to axis of rotation 53.
  • arm 52 In actual use, in the pickup position, arm 52 first rotates about horizontal axis of rotation 55 to extract collar 13, engaged by grip head 54, from the respective seat on belt conveyor 49; and, in the release position, arm 52 rotates about horizontal axis of rotation 55 to deposit collar 13, engaged by grip head 54, inside respective pocket 29.
  • each collar 13 is laid flat on a top wall 56 of a respective pocket 29 of packing wheel 27.
  • pocket 29 may comprise projections and/or recesses defining a seat in which to house collar 13, and fixed rails may also be provided between feed station 30 and transfer station 31.
  • each inner package 3 is expelled from respective pocket 24 on packing wheel 21 into a pocket 29 on packing wheel 27. More specifically, inner package 3 is expelled from pocket 24 horizontally and radially (i.e. perpendicularly to axis of rotation 23 of packing wheel 21) by a pusher 57 to align inner package 3 vertically with pocket 29; at which point, inner package 3 is pushed vertically and axially (i.e. parallel to axis of rotation 28 of packing wheel 27) into pocket 29 by a pusher 58 and a counter-pusher 59 cooperating with pusher 58.
  • Pusher 58 and counter-pusher 59 engage two opposite walls of inner package 3 to grip the inner package (without collar 13 in between), and then move together to insert inner package 3 vertically and axially (i.e. parallel to axis of rotation 28 of packing wheel 27) into pocket 29. It is important to note that counter-pusher 59 is designed to negatively reproduce the shape of collar 13, so as to move up and down alongside, i.e. without touching, collar 13.
  • inner package 3 impacts collar 13 resting on top wall 56 of pocket 29, so collar 13 is folded into a U and inserted into pocket 29 together with inner package 3.
  • a supporting and guide body 60 (also shown in Figure 7 ) is provided at transfer station 31 to support and guide the movement of inner package 3, and comprises a horizontal supporting surface 61, along which inner package 3 slides out of pocket 29; and a vertical channel 62, in which inner package 3 slides into pocket 29.
  • a gumming device 63 is located beneath horizontal supporting surface 61 of supporting and guide body 60 at transfer station 31, and comprises at least one nozzle 64 facing upwards to apply gum (typically at least one line 65 of gum, as shown in Figure 8 ) to the portion of a front wall 66 of inner package 3 eventually contacting front wall 15 of collar 13, to gum front wall 15 of collar 13 to front wall 66 of inner package 3.
  • gum typically at least one line 65 of gum, as shown in Figure 8
  • horizontal supporting surface 61 of supporting and guide body 60 has a central through opening 67 at nozzle 64.
  • central opening 67 is not limited to the area about nozzle 64, but extends as far as vertical channel 62 downstream from nozzle 64, to prevent the line 65 of gum applied by nozzle 64 from smearing and so fouling horizontal supporting surface 61.
  • central opening 67 must extend downstream from nozzle 64, as far as vertical channel 62.
  • Packing machine 17 described has numerous advantages, by enabling gum to be applied between each inner package 3 and respective collar 13 easily and effectively.
  • gumming device 63 can easily be housed, with no structural alterations required, inside the gap normally existing between packing wheels 21 and 27 at transfer station 31 (which means gumming device 63 can also be installed easily on existing packing machines 17, possibly by simply replacing the existing supporting and guide body 60 with a similar supporting and guide body 60 with a central through opening 67).
  • inner package 3 is gummed just before it comes into contact with collar 13, which means that, even in the event of unforeseen stoppage of the machine, only one gummed inner package 3 at the most is rejected.
