Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for applying a label sleeve to a container.
- the jig can take a variety of designs. That's how it shows WO 2007/060705 a jig which includes substantially triangular finger elements which are hingedly attached to a support at its base.
- the finger elements are first folded inward, so that the label sleeve can be mounted on the finger elements. Then the finger elements are folded outwards and thereby tighten the label sleeve.
- a support plate which receives the container above the label sleeve. Then the support plate lowers again and moves the container into the label sleeve, while the finger elements pull out to the same extent from the label sleeve.
- the container and label sleeve are moved into a shrink container and exposed to heat for shrinking the label sleeve.
- Finger elements for mounting the label sleeve are also the means of choice in a variety of other publications, for example in the EP 0 111 244 A1 or the FR 2 631 924 A1 or the WO 2008/076718 ,
- the previously known methods allow stretching rates of label sleeves depending on the version of up to 5%, 20% to 30%, 40% to 50% and 60% to 70% or higher.
- the disadvantage of these known designs is not only the elaborate pliers technique, but also the circumstance that when switching from label material or container design to another container shape or dimension or another desired stretch rate, the pliers design must be laboriously rebuilt or converted.
- the film tube must be pre-stretched much larger in order to make room for the pliers elements plus air between the container and the film.
- the invention has for its object to provide a structurally simple, uncomplicated and reliable device for applying a label sleeve.
- the object is achieved in a device by the features of claim 1 and in a method by the features of claim 12.
- the finger elements of a flexible material are preferably arranged in groups which are axially movable relative to the label sleeve to each other so that they successively between the label sleeve and the container can be pulled out, which reduces the risk that the label sleeve is accidentally taken.
- a holder for the finger elements which are arranged in a tubular bundle and are fastened with their front side to the holder, causes a one-sided fixation of the elongated finger elements, so that the container can easily dip.
- the various groups of finger elements are each attached to a separate holder, so that the finger elements are axially movable relative to each other by means of the holder.
- the finger elements are preferably made of a material in which there is no risk that label sleeve or container can be damaged.
- a particularly preferred material for the finger elements is a plastic, wherein the finger elements are either in the nature of bristles, i. are formed as long, thin rod, fiber or strand-like elements or strip-shaped.
- a mold element is preferably provided which engages from the outside on the finger elements and compresses the finger elements to an outer periphery which is equal or preferably smaller than the inner diameter of the label sleeve.
- a holding element is preferably provided for fixing the label sleeve on the finger elements, so that the label sleeve does not slip when the container is submerged.
- Form element and retaining element are preferably formed like a pliers.
- the retaining element can also be designed as provided on the finger elements stop.
- Fig. 1 is a highly schematic representation of a device 1 for applying a label sleeve to a container 2 can be seen, wherein of the device only a support or transport means 3 for the container 2 and a jig 4 is shown.
- the carrying device 3 is of conventional design and adapted to the container 2 to be transported in particular.
- the container 2 is in the illustrated embodiment, a bottle made of plastic, in particular a PET bottle, and the support means 3, a bottle plate.
- the jig 4 contains finger elements 5, which are formed in the illustrated embodiment as a plurality of bristle-like plastic strands or rods or fibers and combined into a bundle.
- the finger elements are flexible so that they can move relative to each other without having to provide joints. However, the finger elements are preferably so stiff that they can carry their own weight.
- the axial length of the finger elements 5 is adapted to the axial length of a label sleeve 6 to be applied and should be at least as long as the label sleeve 6 in a rectilinear region 5a, but preferably a little longer, in order to Fig. 1 shows to form a feed hopper 5b for the container 2.
- the inlet funnel 5b is kept open by a holder 7, which is annular in the illustrated embodiment and has an inner width which is greater than the outer width of the container 2.
- a holder 7 which is annular in the illustrated embodiment and has an inner width which is greater than the outer width of the container 2.
- the one free ends of the finger elements 5 are fixed to each other at a predetermined distance, while the opposite free ends are unpaved and freely movable relative to each other.
- the holder can be dimensioned so large that it can still accommodate the (diameter) largest container that can be processed with the device 1, so that a change of the container format is possible in a simple manner.
- the number of finger elements 5 is sized to be juxtaposed to a substantially closed perimeter when combined for insertion into the label sleeve, as seen in region 5a.
- the finger elements 5 are divided into groups.
- three groups are provided, each with its own holder 7a, 7b and 7c at their lower free ends are provided.
- the finger elements of the groups alternate, and preferably in such a way that in each case one or a small number of finger elements of the first group to the same number of finger elements of the second group and these in turn to the same number of finger elements of the third group connect.
- the clamping device 4 further includes forming and holding elements, in particular a mold element 8 and a lower holding element 9 and an upper holding element 10.

However, the prerequisite is that they can be bent by the material of the container without a risk of damaging the container in the desired shape. Under certain circumstances, the finger elements can also be pulled out in total, ie not in groups. Also two or more than three groups are possible. In addition, it is possible to perform the finger elements shorter than the label sleeve, which facilitates the retention of the sleeve in certain container shapes.
- the finger elements in the practice of the invention depends on a relative movement. It is therefore easily possible, for example, to move the finger elements into the label sleeve and to lower the finger elements with the label sleeve onto the container and then pull it out again from finger elements. If the material of the finger elements relative to the material of the label sleeve has an adapted friction or if z. If, for example, the label sleeve protrudes slightly and abuts against the container at the top (eg in the region of a diameter reduction), it is certainly possible to omit retaining elements, in particular the upper holding element, without the risk of the label sleeve slipping.
- the upper and lower holding elements can also be designed as a unit.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Aufbringen einer Etikettenhülse auf einen Behälter.The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for applying a label sleeve to a container.
Vorrichtungen zum Aufbringen von Etikettenhülsen auf Behälter, wie beispielsweise auf Flaschen oder Getränkedosen oder dgl., sind in großer Zahl bekannt. Allen Vorrichtungen gemeinsam ist die Tatsache, dass zunächst die Etikettenhülse aufgespannt werden muss, damit die Etikettenhülse über den Behälter gezogen werden kann. Je nach Material der Etikettenhülse wird entweder die Etikettenhülse dabei gedehnt und zieht sich auf dem Behälter wieder in ihre ursprüngliche Form zusammen, um einen festen Sitz zu gewährleisten, oder es wird ein schrumpffähiges Material für die Etikettenhülse verwendet, und die zunächst lose über den Behälter gestreifte Etikettenhülse anschließend unter Wärmeeinwirkung geschrumpft, wodurch sie sich ebenfalls eng an den Behälter anlegt.Devices for applying label sleeves to containers, such as bottles or beverage cans or the like, are known in large numbers. Common to all devices is the fact that first the label sleeve must be clamped so that the label sleeve can be pulled over the container. Depending on the material of the label sleeve, either the label sleeve is stretched and contracts on the container back to its original shape to ensure a tight fit, or it is a shrinkable material used for the label sleeve, and initially loosely striped over the container Label sleeve then shrunk under heat, making it also fits tightly against the container.
Die Aufspanneinrichtung kann die unterschiedlichsten Konstruktionsformen annehmen. So zeigt die

Allen bekannten Konstruktionen ist jedoch gemeinsam, dass sie eine aufwändige Antriebseinrichtung für Fingerelemente und Zange erfordern, die bei allen Aufspanneinrichtungen des Standes der Technik mechanisch gelöst wird. Diese mechanische Lösung erfordert eine Vielzahl von Teilen und Verbindungen, die aufwändig hergestellt und montiert werden müssen.However, all known constructions have in common that they require a complex drive device for finger elements and pliers, which is mechanically solved in all clamping devices of the prior art. This mechanical solution requires a variety of parts and connections that must be laboriously manufactured and assembled.
Die bisher bekannten Verfahren erlauben Stretchraten der Etikettenhülsen je nach Ausführung von bis zu 5 %, 20 % bis 30 %, 40 % bis 50 % und 60 % bis 70 % oder höher. Der Nachteil dieser bekannten Ausführungen ist nicht nur die aufwändige Zangentechnik, sondern auch der Umstand, dass bei der Umstellung von Etikettenmaterial bzw. Behälterausführung auf eine andere Behälterform oder -abmessung oder eine andere gewünschte Stretchrate, die Zangenausführung aufwändig umgebaut bzw. umgerüstet werden muss. Weiterhin muss konstruktionsbedingt mit der Zangentechnik der Folienschlauch weitaus größer vorgestreckt werden, um Platz für die Zangenelemente plus Luft zwischen den Behälter und der Folie zu erhalten.The previously known methods allow stretching rates of label sleeves depending on the version of up to 5%, 20% to 30%, 40% to 50% and 60% to 70% or higher. The disadvantage of these known designs is not only the elaborate pliers technique, but also the circumstance that when switching from label material or container design to another container shape or dimension or another desired stretch rate, the pliers design must be laboriously rebuilt or converted. Furthermore, due to the construction of the pliers technique, the film tube must be pre-stretched much larger in order to make room for the pliers elements plus air between the container and the film.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine konstruktiv einfache, unkomplizierte und funktionssichere Vorrichtung zum Aufbringen einer Etikettenhülse bereitzustellen.The invention has for its object to provide a structurally simple, uncomplicated and reliable device for applying a label sleeve.
Die Aufgabe wird bei einer Vorrichtung durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 und bei einem Verfahren durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 12 gelöst.The object is achieved in a device by the features of claim 1 and in a method by the features of
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung von Fingerelementen aus einem flexiblen Material und durch das Aufbringen der Aufspannkraft der Etikettenhülse durch den Behälter selbst wird eine äußerst einfache, zweckmäßige und funktionssichere Aufspanneinrichtung verwirklicht.The inventive use of finger elements made of a flexible material and by applying the clamping force of the label sleeve through the container itself an extremely simple, functional and reliable clamping device is realized.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous developments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.
Die Fingerelemente aus einem flexiblen Material sind bevorzugt in Gruppen angeordnet, die axial zur Etikettenhülse relativ zueinander bewegbar sind, so dass sie nacheinander zwischen der Etikettenhülse und dem Behälter herausgezogen werden können, was die Gefahr verringert, dass die Etikettenhülse versehentlich mitgenommen wird. Eine Halterung für die Fingerelemente, die in einem rohrförmigen Bündel angeordnet sind und mit ihrer Stirnseite an der Halterung befestigt sind, bewirkt eine einseitige Fixierung der langgestreckten Fingerelemente, so dass der Behälter problemlos eintauchen kann.The finger elements of a flexible material are preferably arranged in groups which are axially movable relative to the label sleeve to each other so that they successively between the label sleeve and the container can be pulled out, which reduces the risk that the label sleeve is accidentally taken. A holder for the finger elements, which are arranged in a tubular bundle and are fastened with their front side to the holder, causes a one-sided fixation of the elongated finger elements, so that the container can easily dip.
Zweckmäßigerweise sind die verschiedenen Gruppen der Fingerelemente an jeweils einer getrennten Halterung befestigt, so dass die Fingerelemente mit Hilfe der Halterung axial zueinander bewegbar sind.Conveniently, the various groups of finger elements are each attached to a separate holder, so that the finger elements are axially movable relative to each other by means of the holder.
Die Fingerelemente bestehen bevorzugt aus einem Material, bei dem nicht die Gefahr besteht, dass Etikettenhülse oder Behälter beschädigt werden können. Ein besonders bevorzugtes Material für die Fingerelemente ist ein Kunststoff, wobei die Fingerelemente entweder in der Art von Borsten, d.h. als lange, dünne stäbchen-, faser- oder strangartige Elemente oder streifenförmig ausgebildet sind.The finger elements are preferably made of a material in which there is no risk that label sleeve or container can be damaged. A particularly preferred material for the finger elements is a plastic, wherein the finger elements are either in the nature of bristles, i. are formed as long, thin rod, fiber or strand-like elements or strip-shaped.
Um sicherzugehen, dass die Etikettenhülse über alle Fingerelemente sicher aufgeschoben werden kann, ist bevorzugt ein Formelement vorgesehen, das von außen an den Fingerelementen angreift und die Fingerelemente bis zu einem Außenumfang zusammendrückt, der gleich bzw. bevorzugt kleiner ist als der Innendurchmesser der Etikettenhülse.To ensure that the label sleeve can be securely pushed over all finger elements, a mold element is preferably provided which engages from the outside on the finger elements and compresses the finger elements to an outer periphery which is equal or preferably smaller than the inner diameter of the label sleeve.
Weiterhin ist bevorzugt ein Halteelement zum Fixieren der Etikettenhülse auf den Fingerelementen vorgesehen, damit beim Eintauchen des Behälters die Etikettenhülse nicht verrutscht.Furthermore, a holding element is preferably provided for fixing the label sleeve on the finger elements, so that the label sleeve does not slip when the container is submerged.
Formelement und Halteelement sind bevorzugt zangenartig ausgebildet.Form element and retaining element are preferably formed like a pliers.
Das Halteelement kann jedoch auch als an den Fingerelementen vorgesehener Anschlag ausgebildet sein.However, the retaining element can also be designed as provided on the finger elements stop.

In
Die Aufspannvorrichtung 4 enthält Fingerelemente 5, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als eine Vielzahl von borstenähnlichen Kunststoffsträngen oder -stäben oder -fasern ausgebildet und zu einem Bündel zusammengefasst sind. Die Fingerelemente sind flexibel, so dass sie sich relativ zueinander bewegen können, ohne dass Gelenke vorgesehen werden müssen. Die Fingerelemente sind jedoch bevorzugt so steif, dass sie ihre eigenes Gewicht tragen können. Die axiale Länge der Fingerelemente 5 ist an die axiale Länge einer aufzubringenden Etikettenhülse 6 angepasst und sollte in einem geradlinigen Bereich 5a zumindest so lang wie die Etikettenhülse 6 sein, bevorzugt jedoch etwas länger, um, wie
Die Halterung kann so groß dimensioniert werden, dass sie auch noch den (durchmesser-) größten Behälter aufnehmen kann, der mit der Vorrichtung 1 verarbeitbar ist, so dass ein Wechsel des Behälterformats auf einfache Weise möglich ist.The holder can be dimensioned so large that it can still accommodate the (diameter) largest container that can be processed with the device 1, so that a change of the container format is possible in a simple manner.
Die Anzahl der Fingerelemente 5 ist so bemessen, dass sie zu einem im Wesentlichen geschlossenen Umfang nebeneinanderliegend anzuordnen sind, wenn sie zum Einführen in die Etikettenhülse zusammengefasst werden, wie dies im Bereich 5a zu sehen ist.The number of
Die Fingerelemente 5 sind in Gruppen unterteilt. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind drei Gruppen vorgesehen, die jeweils mit einer eigenen Halterung 7a, 7b und 7c an ihren unteren freien Enden versehen sind. In Umfangsrichtung des Bündels wechseln sich die Fingerelemente der Gruppen ab und zwar bevorzugt derart, dass sich jeweils ein oder eine geringe Anzahl von Fingerelementen der ersten Gruppe an die gleiche Anzahl der Fingerelemente der zweiten Gruppe und diese wiederum an die gleiche Anzahl der Fingerelemente der dritten Gruppe anschließen.The
Die Aufspanneinrichtung 4 enthält weiterhin Form- und Halteelemente, und zwar insbesondere ein Formelement 8 sowie ein unteres Halteelement 9 und ein oberes Halteelement 10. Das Formelement 8 und die Halteelemente 9 und 10 sind im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Zangen ausgebildet, die jeweils zwei Zangenarme enthalten, deren Kontaktseiten mit dem Bündel der Fingerelemente 5 mit jeweils einer Ausrundung 8a, 9a und 10a versehen sind, deren Radius an den gewünschten Radius der Außenseite des Bündels der Fingerelemente 5 an der Angriffsstelle angepasst ist.The clamping device 4 further includes forming and holding elements, in particular a
Das Formelement 8 bestimmt den Außendurchmesser, auf den die Fingerelemente 5 im Bereich 5a zusammengedrückt werden, wenn eine Etikettenhülse 6 aufgezogen werden soll. Die Halteelemente 9 und 10 halten die Etikettenhülse 6 auf dem Bündel der Fingerelemente 5 in Position, wie dies noch nachfolgend beschrieben wird.The
Die Aufspanneinrichtung 4 eignet sich zum Aufbringen von Etikettenhülsen unterschiedlichster Art, also z.B. Klebehülsen, Spannhülsen oder Schrumpfhülsen. Klebehülsen sind Etiketten, die von einer Rolle aus Flachmaterial geschnitten und vor dem Aufbringen zu Klebehülsen verklebt oder verschweißt werden. Spannhülsen sind dehnbare Etikettenhülsen, die meist aus einem stretchbaren Folien-Schlauch geschnitten werden. Schrumpfhülsen sind schrumpffähige Etikettenhülsen, wobei die Hülse nur lose oder mit geringer Vorspannung auf den Behälter aufgebracht wird und in der Regel nachfolgend, beispielsweise in einem Dampftunnel, auf die Flasche geschrumpft werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist besonders geeignet zum Aufbringen von dehnbaren Etikettenhülsen (Spannhülsen) ohne weitere Vor- oder Nachbehandlung durch Kleben oder Schrumpfen. Die Aufbringung kann auf Behälter aus unterschiedlichem Material, wie beispielsweise Glas, Blech oder bevorzugt Kunststoff aufgebracht werden. Aber auch schrumpffähige/verklebte Etikettenhülsen, die nicht oder nur gering vorgestreckt aufgebracht werden und anschließend verklebt oder geschrumpft werden, können verarbeitet werden.The clamping device 4 is suitable for the application of label sleeves of various types, such. Adhesive sleeves, clamping sleeves or shrink sleeves. Adhesive sleeves are labels that are cut from a roll of flat material and glued or welded before application to adhesive sleeves. Clamping sleeves are stretchable label sleeves, which are usually cut from a stretchable film tube. Shrink sleeves are shrinkable label sleeves, the sleeve is applied only loosely or with little bias to the container and usually subsequently, for example, in a steam tunnel, shrunk onto the bottle. The device according to the invention is particularly suitable for applying stretchable label sleeves (clamping sleeves) without further pre- or post-treatment by gluing or shrinking. The application can be applied to containers made of different materials, such as glass, sheet metal or preferably plastic. But also shrinkable / glued label sleeves that are not applied or only slightly pre-stretched and then glued or shrunk, can be processed.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist die Verarbeitung aller bekannten Stretchfolien/Etikettenhülsen möglich, wobei je nach Ausführung Stretchraten von 20 % bis 30 %, 40 % bis 50 % und 60 % bis 70 % oder höher, bis nahezu 100 %, mit nur einer Ausführung der Fingerelemente zu verarbeiten sind, da die Fingerelemente sehr dünn auftragen und keine Luft zwischen den Fingerelementen und der Flaschenwandung sowie der Etikettenhülse benötigen. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird eine Klebehülse aufgebracht.With the device according to the invention, the processing of all known stretch films / label sleeves is possible, depending on the design, stretching rates of 20% to 30%, 40 % to 50% and 60% to 70% or higher, to nearly 100%, with only one embodiment of the finger elements to process because the finger elements apply very thin and no air between the finger elements and the bottle wall and the label sleeve need. In the illustrated embodiment, an adhesive sleeve is applied.
Anschließend wird die Etikettenhülse 6, wie
Dann bewegen sich, wie
Dann wird die Etikettenhülse 6 durch die oberen Halteelemente 10 gehalten, die die Etikettenhülse 6 gegen den Behälter 2 und/oder die Fingerelemente 5 drücken. Das Formelement 8 und das untere Halteelement 9 fahren zurück, oder sind bereits zurückgefahren, und geben die Etikettenhülse frei, wie
Hängt der Behälter 2 fest, fährt der Träger 3 nach unten und gibt den Behälter 2 frei, wie
Anschließend können die Fingerelemente 5 herausgezogen werden, wobei sie elastisch in ihre ursprüngliche geradlinige Form zurückfedern, und zwar geschieht dies gruppenweise. In
Anschließend fahren die Fingerelemente 5 wieder nach oben, und die Formelemente 8 legen sich an das Bündel der Fingerelemente 5 an, wie
Die Funktion der Halteelemente 9 und 10 und die Anschlagfunktion des Formelementes 8 zum Bestimmen der Etikettenlage, kann auch durch Anschläge 12 bzw. 13 erfüllt werden, die direkt an die Fingerelemente 5 angeformt sind.
In Abwandlung der beschriebenen und gezeichneten Ausführungsbeispiele können die Fingerelemente beispielsweise als Streifen aus Kunststoff oder, abhängig vom Etikettenmaterial oder der Behälterform, aus einem anderen flexiblen Material, wie z. B. einem flexiblen Stahl (Federstahl) gefertigt sein. Die Fingerelemente können auch aus einem biegbaren Material bestehen, und ihre Form beibehalten, in die sie gebogen wurden. Voraussetzung ist jedoch, dass sie durch das Material des Behälters ohne eine Gefahr der Beschädigung des Behälters in die gewünschte Form gebogen werden können. Die Fingerelemente können unter Umständen auch insgesamt, d.h. nicht in Gruppen, herausgezogen werden. Auch zwei oder mehr als drei Gruppen sind möglich. Außerdem ist es möglich, die Fingerelemente kürzer als die Etikettenhülse auszuführen, was das Festhalten der Hülse bei bestimmten Behälterformen erleichtert. Darüber hinaus soll darauf hingewiesen werden, dass es bei der Durchführung der Erfindung auf eine Relativbewegung ankommt. Es ist deshalb ohne weiteres möglich, beispielsweise die Fingerelemente in die Etikettenhülse hineinzubewegen und die Fingerelemente mit der Etikettenhülse auf den Behälter abzusenken und ihn anschließend wieder aus Fingerelementen herauszuziehen. Wenn das Material der Fingerelemente gegenüber dem Material der Etikettenhülse eine angepasste Reibung aufweist oder wenn z. B. die Etikettenhülse leicht übersteht und sich oben an den Behälter (z. B. im Bereich einer Durchmesserverringerung) anlegt, so können durchaus Halteelemente, insbesondere das obere Halteelement, weggelassen werden, ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, dass die Etikettenhülse verrutscht. Die oberen und unteren Halteelemente können auch als Einheit ausgeführt werden.In a modification of the described and illustrated embodiments, the finger elements, for example, as a strip of plastic or, depending on the label material or the container shape, from another flexible material, such. B. a flexible Steel (spring steel) to be made. The finger elements may also be made of a bendable material and retain their shape into which they have been bent. However, the prerequisite is that they can be bent by the material of the container without a risk of damaging the container in the desired shape. Under certain circumstances, the finger elements can also be pulled out in total, ie not in groups. Also two or more than three groups are possible. In addition, it is possible to perform the finger elements shorter than the label sleeve, which facilitates the retention of the sleeve in certain container shapes. In addition, it should be noted that in the practice of the invention depends on a relative movement. It is therefore easily possible, for example, to move the finger elements into the label sleeve and to lower the finger elements with the label sleeve onto the container and then pull it out again from finger elements. If the material of the finger elements relative to the material of the label sleeve has an adapted friction or if z. If, for example, the label sleeve protrudes slightly and abuts against the container at the top (eg in the region of a diameter reduction), it is certainly possible to omit retaining elements, in particular the upper holding element, without the risk of the label sleeve slipping. The upper and lower holding elements can also be designed as a unit.
