  • the right-hand application device is correspondingly designed mirror-inverted.
  • the applicator 30 has a holding plate 37, on which the stacking shaft 32 is mounted towering.
  • the holding plate 37 also carries the transfer device 34, which consists essentially of a rodless pneumatic cylinder 38 which is provided at its front end with a driver 39 for a single edge protection element 16.
  • the pneumatic cylinder 38 forms a holding and advancing element for the driver, which is in the fully retracted state of the pneumatic cylinder in a position below the memory device 31, in which he can take a single edge protection element on a bottom side of the stacking shaft 32 arranged single trigger 40 and hold ,
  • the holding device used for this purpose is not shown in detail in the figures; it may be a mechanical device or also a suction device formed on the carrier, which holds the edge protection element by means of negative pressure. Other holding means can be used here.
  • Feed element or slide which is formed by the pneumatic cylinder 38, hingedly connected and about an axis 41 perpendicular to the feed direction 42 of the transfer device 34 is a piece of pivoting.
  • the arrangement is such that the pivoting movement is automatically effected by a drive, which is formed essentially by a lateral guide element 43 for the transfer device 34, in particular for the driver 39, and a tensioned between the driver and the pneumatic cylinder arranged tension spring 44th , which pivots the driver by an angle ⁇ limited by an oblique stop 45, as soon as the driver advances the pneumatic cylinder in the direction of the strapping station out of the area of action of the guide element 43 comes ( Figures 8 to 10).
  • the pivot angle by which the driver is swung back and forth again when the pneumatic cylinder is being retracted or retracted, corresponds to the angle ⁇ around which the transfer device 34 is arranged obliquely with respect to the transport direction 22.

  • the invention is not limited to the illustrated and described embodiment, but various changes and additions are conceivable without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the storage device would be arranged from the outset so that the position of the edge protection elements received therein is already adapted to the situation that should have the edge protection elements in their transfer to the package edge to be protected.
  • edge protection elements must not be applied directly to the package edges by the transfer device, but it is also conceivable to advance the edge protection elements of the transfer device initially to a transfer point, where they are detected by additional grippers and then applied to the transport direction of the packages to this before the strapping device winds the strapping band around the package while clamping the applied edge protection element between itself and the package.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une enrubaneuse (10) pour paquets (11) qui peuvent être amenés, au moyen d'un transporteur (17), dans la zone d'action d'un dispositif d'enrubanage (18 à 23), et y être enrubanés au moyen d'un système enrubaneur (14). L'enrubaneuse comporte un dispositif d'application (30) pour protège-arêtes(16) qui sont placés entre le paquet et la bande enrubaneuse, avant que celle-ci soit tendue autour du paquet et fermée. L'invention est caractérisée en ce qu'un dispositif de transfert (34) du dispositif d'application retirant d'une unité de stockage (31) les protège-arêtes pour le transfert au paquet, est incliné d'un angle ? par rapport à la direction du transport (22), permettant ainsi de réduire la largeur totale de la machine par rapport aux machines connues.
