Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a machine for packing wine in single-dose containers.
  • the existing norms for road use require, for vehicle drivers, a very limited level of blood alcohol.
  • the maximum level permitted in many cases, can be exceeded even when drinking little more than a glass of wine during a meal, i.e. assuming a quantity of wine of hardly more than 10-15 ml.
  • the quantity of wine contained in a bottle (normally 750 ml) is excessive in view of the maximum limits allowed for alcoholic levels in the blood. If for example the number of people sharing the bottle does not exceed four or five, the quantity of wine contained in the bottle might lead, in all probability, to exceeding the alcoholic level allowed by the law for someone about to drive a vehicle. As high-quality wines have high costs, what often happens is that as the whole content of a high-quality bottle cannot be entirely consumed, and the consumer therefore prefers to choose lower-quality wines, with which a glass-measured consumption is tolerable.
  • a solution for giving incentives for the consumption of high-quality wine in restaurants might be found by offering the wine in single-dose containers more-or-less corresponding to a glass capacity (10-15 ml).
  • the single-dose pack would offer the guarantee of a perfect state of conservation of the wine, equal to a bottle, and would offer the possibility of acquiring only the quantity of wine which it is intended to consume.
  • Single-dose wine packs are already known, typically taking the form of containers of a prismatic shape provided with an upper sealed opening which is opened at the moment of consumption.
  • the containers of known type are however normally associated to low-quality wines, mainly used for cooking and/or dressing foods and meals. They also exhibit a non-particularly pleasant form which, above all, exhibits a not-inconsiderable size in terms of waste disposal of empty containers. Furthermore, often the containers of known type do not provide sufficient conservation guarantees of the aesthetic and gustatory properties of high-quality wines.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a machine for rapidly and efficiently packing wine in single-dose containers.
  • the single-dose container 100 for packing wine is a stand-up container, preferably made of plied paper material.
  • This material in the shape of a sheet, comprises an external layer, an internal layer and one or more intermediate layers, coupled on one another.
  • the external layer of material i.e. the layer destined to form the external surface of the container 100, is made of paper.
  • the paper external layer offers the advantages of giving a certain rigidity to the material and is particularly appropriate to be printed on.
  • the internal layer of the material which is the one destined to form the internal surface of the container and to enter into contact with the product, is made of polythene.
  • the internal layer is also the layer which enables heat-welding two layers of material together, by placing the two layers in contact at the internal layer and subjecting the two layers to localised pressure and heating.
  • the container 100 comprises two main folds 101, 102, opposite one another and welded at the edges 103.
  • a bottom fold 104 is conjoined to the main folds and folded between the two main folds along a median line 105.
  • the conjoining zones 104a, 104b between the bottom fold 104 and the main folds 101, 102 exhibit respective heat-weldings.
  • An opening 106 is arranged between the two main folds in opposite positions with respect to the bottom fold 104.
  • the container When the container is empty, the two main folds can be neared to one another and the bottom fold 104, folded at the median line 105 into two folds, is arranged between the two main folds 101, 102. In this way, the container 100 exhibits a very contained size.
  • the openings 106 of the container 100 can be arranged between two flaps 101a, 102a of the main folds 101, 102 which project upwards and can advantageously be shaped attractively, for example in a bottle-cork shape.
  • the projecting shape of the two flaps 101a, 102a facilitates pouring of the wine, as it prevents the formation of drops along the edge of the container, and gives the container an overall appearance which is decidedly different to the usual prismatic containers used.
  • the opening 106 can be closed either by welding the two flaps 101 a, 102a of the main folds 101, 102, or by means of a cap 107.
  • a cap 107 With respect to the welding between the flaps 101, 102a, which requires a tearing in order for the container to be opened 100, the predisposing of a cap makes the container 100 easy to open.
  • the cap 107 can be housed internally of a seating joined at the two flaps 101a, 102a of the main folds 101, 102. Once the cap has been removed, the seating facilitates pouring of the wine.
  • the cap 107 can advantageously be shaped as a common stopper for a wine bottle, and can even be made of cork, such as to give the container 100 a very original appearance.
  • An opening tool 108 can be combined with the container to facilitate removal of the cap 107.
  • the opening tool 108 can be shaped similarly to a corkscrew, with an elongated portion having a helical development.
  • the cap 107 can be provided with a seating predisposed to house the elongate portion of the opening tool 108.
  • the elongate portion of the opening tool 108 can be inserted in the seating predisposed on the cap 107 with a screwing movement.
  • the removal of the cap can be done by means of traction of the opening tool 108. In this way, the consumer can use the opening tool 108 in a way that is extremely similar to a normal corkscrew.
  • the machine for packing wine of the present invention comprises means for realising, starting from a continuous sheet 99 of multi-ply paper, of a container 100 of a stand-up type as described herein above.
  • the containers 100 are realised in a known way, starting from a single continuous sheet 99 of multi-ply paper which is unwound from a reel through a group of horizontal rollers 2 arranged in space in a predetermined way.
  • the continuous sheet 99 is forced to fold into two main folds 101c, 102c which are side-by-side and pass through a flanked pair of vertical rollers 3.
  • the continuous sheet 99 is guided in its folding by a shaped surface 4 located upstream of the vertical rollers 3.
  • a shaped element pushes an intermediate portion of the continuous sheet 99 upwards, forcing it to fold between the two main folds along a median line of the continuous sheet 99 such as to define a bottom fold 104c.
  • the main folds 101, 102 and the bottom fold 104 of the container 100 originate from the mains folds 101c, 102c, and the bottom fold 104c of the continuous sheet 99.
  • the continuous sheet 99 is subjected to a process of localised heat-welding along determined lines, separating the containers 100 from one another.
  • the heat-welding process is preferably performed by a plurality of welding devices 5a, 5b, 5c, each of which is formed by a pair of presser elements, heated to a determined temperature, which are activated to distance from one another and to squeeze together in a predetermined temporal cycle. When they squeeze together, the presser elements exert a pressure which compresses the two main folds 101, 102 into contact with one another.
  • each edge 103 is sub-divided into several stages, each actuated by a welding device 5a, 5b, 5c.
  • the various welding devices are arranged in succession and a distanced from one another by a step corresponding to the distance separating the edges 103 of two consecutive containers 100.
  • the continuous sheet 99 is cyclically halted in positions in which the edges 103 of the various containers 100 are at the welding devices. In this way the edges 103 can be heat-welded in brief cyclical pauses of the continuous sheet 99.
  • At least a welding device 5d is predisposed blow the continuous sheet 99 to realise heat-welding at the conjoining zones 104a, 104b between the bottom fold 104 and the main folds 101, 102. This last welding device 5d also enters into action during the cyclical pauses of the continuous sheet 99.
  • the continuous sheet 99 Downstream of the welding devices 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, the continuous sheet 99 is cut at the edges 103 which separate the containers 100, such that the container 100 are separate from one another.
  • the cutting of the continuous sheet 99 along the edges 103 is performed by a cutting device 6 of known type (not illustrated in detail), comprising a blade and a counter-blade which cyclically squeeze together to perform the cut.
  • the cutting operation performed by the cutting device 6 is performed together with a halting stage of the continuous sheet 99, contemporaneously with the stage of welding performed by the welding devices.
  • the containers 100 are separated from one another. At the moment of separation, the containers 100 are closed along the whole perimeter thereof, with the exception of the opening 106 at which no heat-welding is performed.
  • the continuous sheet 99 is advancingly translated up to the cutting device 6 by a first advancing device 13 which comprises pliers which are mobile alternatingly between a first position, in which they squeeze the continuous sheet 99, and a second position, advanced with respect to the first position by a predetermined step, in which they release the continuous sheet.
  • the pliers advance the continuous sheet 99 by a step.
  • the pliers After having released the sheet, the pliers newly retreat to the first position, in which they squeeze the continuous sheet at a different zone from the first position, and displace once more from the first position to the second position, advancing the continuous sheet 99 by a further step.
  • the wine is introduced internally of each container 100 through the opening 106 by means of an injector 10 predisposed to be introduced at least partially internally of the container 100 through the opening 106.
  • the injector 10 comprises a tubular element provided with a spindle-shaped end portion 10a such as to facilitate passage through the opening 106.
  • the injector 10 is connected to a conduit through which the wine is supplied by means of a pump (not illustrated).
  • the containers 100 are halted below the injector 10 in order to receive a determined quantity of wine.
  • the injector 10 is vertically mobile between an upper position, in which it does not interfere with the containers 100 which can transit below the injector 10, and a lower position, in which at least the end portion 10a of the injector can be introduced into the opening 106 of a container 100 which stations below the injector 10.
  • the material the containers 100 are made of is a multi-ply paper material.
  • the material exhibits a thickness and a rigidity which are such that the applicant has been led to develop a special widening device 7, 8 for enabling the opening 106 of the containers 100 to be widened before the descent of the injector 10.
  • the machine of the present invention is provided with a constricting device 7 (figures from 4 to 11), predisposed to exert an action which nears the lower ends 103a, 103b of the container 100 to one another such as to broaden the bottom flap 104 of the container 100 in a transversal direction with respect to the main flaps 101, 102.
  • the constriction device 7 comprises two jaws 7a, 7b which are nearingly and distancingly mobile between a first position ( figures 4 and 10 ), in which they are at a greater reciprocal distance, and a second position, in which they are at a smaller reciprocal distance ( figures 6 and 8 ).
  • the constriction device 7 is further mobile between a lower position ( figures 4 and 10 ), in which it cannot interact with an overlying container 100, and an upper position ( figures 6 and 8 ), in which it can interact with an overlying container 100.
  • the constriction device 7 is operatingly synchronised with the transport motion of the containers 100. Each container 100 is halted for a determined time interval above the constriction device 7. With the jaws 7a, 7b initially in the first position ( figure 4 ), the constriction device translates from the lower position to the upper position such as to reach the upper position when the container 100 halts. Thereafter the jaws 7a, 7b near one another, reaching the second position ( figure 6 ). During the reciprocal nearing, the jaws 7a, 7b of the constriction device 7 enter into contact with the lower ends 103a, 103b of the container 100, nearing them to one another along the median line 105 of the bottom fold 104.
  • the nearing of the lower ends 103a, 103b leads to a separating of the conjoining zones 104a, 104b between main folds 101, 102 and the bottom fold 104, and a separating between the main folds 101, 102.
  • a tractor device 8 is also functioning (figures from 4 to 11), predisposed to distance the two main folds 101, 102 of the container 100 from each other.
  • the tractor device 8 comprises two traction elements 8a, 8b predisposed each to connect to one of the two main folds 101, 102.
  • the two traction elements 8a, 8b are arranged on opposite sides of the container 100, such that each of them is facing one of the main folds 101, 102.
  • the traction elements 8a, 8b are provided with means for connecting to the main folds 101, 102, preferably comprising one or more suckers.
  • the two traction elements 8a, 8b are mobile in distancing and nearing between a first position ( figures 7 and 9 ), in which they are at a smaller reciprocal distance, and a second position ( figures 5 and 11 ), in which they are at a greater reciprocal distance.
  • the tractor device 8 preferably functions in a work cycle that is overall synchronised to the work cycle of the constriction device 7.
  • the two traction elements reach the first position ( figure 7 ) in which they connect with the main folds 101, 102 and are brought back into the second position ( figure 9 ), in which they are more distant from one another, and thus distance the main folds 101, 102 from one another.
  • the combined action of the constriction device 7 and the tractor device 8 enables the main folds 101, 102 to be widened such as to widen the opening 106 of the container 100. After the widening of the opening 106, the injector 10 can easily insert through the opening 106 itself ( figure 9 ) in order to introduce the wine during the halt interval of the container.
  • a second injector 11 is preferably arranged downstream of the wine container 10. After introducing the wine, the second injector 11 is predisposed to introduce a determined quantity of nitrogen internally of the container 100 in order to create internally of the containers 100 a substantially inert atmosphere with contributes to maintaining the aesthetic and gustatory qualities of the wine intact.
  • the presence of the second injector 11 is not necessary in a case in which the creation of an inert atmosphere internally of the container 100 is not considered to be indispensable.
  • closing means 12 Downstream of the injector 10, and of the second injector 11 if present, closing means 12 are arranged, predisposed to close the opening 106 of the containers 100.
  • the closing means comprise a welding device, similar to the above-described welding devices 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, predisposed to perform a heat-welding of the edges of the flaps 101a, 102a of the main folds 101, 102, which delimit the opening 106 of the containers 100.
  • the welding device of the closing means 12 can be conformed such as to follow the possibly-shaped profile of the flaps 101a, 102a of the main folds 101, 102 of the containers 100.
  • a shaping device 14 can be positioned downstream of the closing means 12 in order to shape the flaps 101 a, 102a of the main folds 101, 102.
  • the shaping device 14 comprises a cutting device which is similar to the cutting device 6 described herein above which separates the containers 100 from one another. Differently to the cutting device 6 separating the containers 100, which is provided with a substantially straight blade, the cutting device of the shaping device 14 is provided with a cutting blade shaped such as to provided the flaps 101a, 102a of the main folds 101, 102 with a desired shape, for example the shape of a cap or a stopper.
  • a second advancing device 15 is arranged downstream of the cutting device 6 which separates the containers 100.
