Vorrichtung zum Handhaben eines folienartigen Abdeckstreifens an einer Packstoffbahn für einen Verpackungsbehälter Device for handling a film-like cover strip on a packaging material web for a packaging container
Stand der Technik State of the art
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Handhaben eines folienartigen Abdeckstreifens an einer Packstoffbahn für einen Verpackungsbehälter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 . The invention relates to a device for handling a film-like cover strip on a packaging material web for a packaging container according to the preamble of claim 1.
Eine Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus der Praxis bereits bekannt und dient dazu, den Bereich einer Packstoffbahn, in dem nach dem Formen zu einem Packstoffbehälter, beispielsweise zu einem Schlauchbeutel, eine aus Kunststoff bestehende Ausgießöffnung angebracht ist, vorzubereiten. Hierzu ist es erforderlich, den betreffenden Bereich der Packstoffbahn, die aus einem relativ zähen und elastischen Material besteht, für die Ausgießöffnung gezielt zu schwächen. Hierzu wird in der Praxis beispielsweise ein rundes Loch in die Packstoffbahn gestanzt, wobei auf das ausgestanzte Loch direkt anschließend ein Abdeckstreifen auf der der Innenseite des späteren Verpackungsbehäl- ters bildenden Seite aufgebracht wird. Das Aufbringen des Abdeckstreifens geschieht beispielsweise mittels einer Heißsiegelvorrichtung, welche den das Loch vollständig überdeckenden Abdeckstreifen dicht auf die Packstoffbahn aufsiegelt. Der Abdeckstreifen gewährleistet stets gleiche Schweißbedingungen für das Anbringen der Ausgießöffnung, unabhängig von der Art des verwendeten Materials der Packstoffbahn. Durch den Abdeckstreifen wird weiterhin vor dem Öffnen desA device according to the preamble of claim 1 is already known from practice and serves to prepare the area of a packaging material web in which after molding to a packaging material container, for example to a tubular bag, a plastic pouring opening is attached. For this purpose, it is necessary to specifically weaken the relevant area of the packaging material web, which consists of a relatively tough and elastic material, for the pouring opening. For this purpose, in practice, for example, a round hole is punched into the packaging material web, wherein a cover strip is then applied directly to the punched-out hole on the side forming the inside of the subsequent packaging container. The application of the cover strip is done for example by means of a heat-sealing device, which tightly seals the hole completely covering cover strip on the packaging material web. The cover strip always ensures the same welding conditions for the attachment of the pouring opening, regardless of the type of material used the packaging material web. Through the cover strip is still before opening the
Verpackungsbehälters mittels der Ausgießöffnung eine dichte Verpackung hergestellt, bei der der Eintritt von Keimen oder ähnlichem in das Packungsinnere vermieden wird, so dass ein derart ausgebildeter Verpackungsbehälter für aseptische Zwecke geeignet ist. Zum Öffnen einer derartigen, aseptischen Verpa- ckung weist die Ausgießöffnung insbesondere zahnartige Schneidfortsätze auf, die beim Aufschrauben des Deckels der Ausgießöffnung den folienartigen Ab- deckstreifen durchtrennen und somit einen Austritt des Füllgutes aus dem Verpackungsbehälter ermöglichen. Packaging container produced by means of the pouring a dense packaging, in which the entry of germs or the like is avoided in the package interior, so that such a trained packaging container is suitable for aseptic purposes. To open such aseptic packaging, the pouring opening has, in particular, tooth-like cutting projections which, when the lid of the pouring opening is screwed on, open the foil-like cut-off. severing cover strip and thus allow the outlet of the filling material from the packaging container.
Darüber hinaus sind Anwendungsfälle für nicht aseptische Verpackungen bekannt, bei denen die Ausgießöffnung keine Öffnungsmittel in Form von Schneidfortsätzen oder ähnlichem aufweist, die den folienartigen Abdeckstreifen durchtrennen. In diesem Fall ist es erforderlich, einen Abdeckstreifen im Bereich des ausgestanzten Loches der Packstoffbahn aufzubringen, welcher zumindest vorgeschwächt ist, damit ein manuelles Öffnen bzw. Durchstoßen des Abdeckstreifens nach dem Abnehmen des Deckels der Ausgießeinrichtung ermöglicht wird. In addition, applications for non-aseptic packaging are known in which the pouring opening has no opening means in the form of cutting projections or the like, which cut through the film-like cover strip. In this case, it is necessary to apply a cover strip in the region of the punched hole of the packaging material web, which is at least vorwacht, so that a manual opening or piercing of the cover strip is made possible after removing the lid of the pouring device.
Beim Stand der Technik sind die Einrichtungen zum Ausstanzen der Löcher in die Packstoffbahn sowie zum Handhaben bzw. Aufbringen des folienartigen Abdeckstreifens als separate Einrichtungen ausgebildet. Dadurch ist der Raumbedarf der Vorrichtung insgesamt relativ groß. In the prior art, the means for punching the holes in the packaging material web and for handling or applying the foil-like cover strip are formed as separate devices. As a result, the overall space requirement of the device is relatively large.
Offenbarung der Erfindung Ausgehend von dem dargestellten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Handhaben eines folienartigen Abdeckstreifens an einer Packstoffbahn für einen Verpackungsbehälter derart weiterzubilden, dass ein besonders kompakter Aufbau der Vorrichtung ermöglicht wird. Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die drei Einrichtungen zum Ausbilden derDISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Based on the illustrated prior art, the invention has the object, a device for handling a film-like cover strip on a packaging material web for a packaging container in such a way that a particularly compact design of the device is made possible.

Durchgangslöcher, zum Abtrennen des Abdeckstreifenabschnitts und zum Verbinden des Abdeckstreifens mit der Packstoffbahn an einer gemeinsamen Station angeordnet sind, die ein Gestell aufweist, an dem die Position wenigstens einer der drei erwähnten Einrichtungen in Bezug auf die Packstoffbahn veränder- bar ist. Durch die Anordnung der drei Einrichtungen an einem gemeinsamen Gestell bzw. einer gemeinsamen Station wird ein äußerst kompakter Aufbau der Vorrichtung ermöglicht. Through holes, for separating the Abdeckstreifenabschnitts and for connecting the cover strip with the packaging material web are arranged at a common station, which has a frame on which the position of at least one of the three devices mentioned with respect to the packaging material web is changeable. The arrangement of the three devices on a common frame or a common station an extremely compact construction of the device is made possible.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Handhaben eines folienartigen Abdeckstreifens an einer Packstoffbahn für einen Verpackungsbehälter sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. In den Rahmen der Er- findung fallen sämtliche Kombinationen aus zumindest zwei von in den Ansprüchen, der Beschreibung und/oder den Figuren offenbarten Merkmalen. Advantageous developments of the device according to the invention for handling a film-like cover strip on a packaging material web for a packaging container are specified in the subclaims. Within the framework All combinations of at least two of the features disclosed in the claims, the description and / or the figures fall.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung, die es ermöglicht, die Posi- tion der drei Einrichtungen der gewünschten Position des auszustanzendenIn a preferred embodiment of the invention, which makes it possible to adjust the position of the three devices to the desired position of the punched out
Lochs bzw. dem Format der Packstoffbahn besonders einfach anzupassen, ist es vorgesehen, dass die drei Einrichtungen auf einem gemeinsamen Trägerelement angeordnet sind, das an einer auf dem Gestell angeordneten Linearführung quer zur Förderrichtung der insbesondere taktweise in der Bereich der drei Einrichtun- gen geförderten, endlosen Packstoffbahn bewegbar ist. Particularly easy to adapt to holes or the format of the packaging material, it is provided that the three devices are arranged on a common carrier element, which on a frame mounted on the linear guide transversely to the conveying direction of the particular intermittently promoted gene in the area of the three institutions, endless packaging material web is movable.
Besonders vorteilhaft hierbei ist eine Ausführungsform, bei der das Trägerelement mit einem Antrieb gekoppelt ist, wobei der Antrieb von einer Steuereinrichtung ansteuerbar ist, die Positionen von Positionsmarken auf der Packstoffbahn mittels wenigstens eines Sensors erfasst und bei einer Abweichung der Positionsmarken von einer Soll-Position den Antrieb entsprechend ansteuert. Dadurch wird während des Betriebs der Vorrichtung eine Regelung der Vorrichtung ermöglicht, die sicherstellt, dass das Loch in der Packstoffbahn sowie der Abdeckstreifen stets an der gewünschten Soll-Position angeordnet sind. Particularly advantageous here is an embodiment in which the carrier element is coupled to a drive, wherein the drive is controlled by a control device detects the positions of position marks on the packaging material web by means of at least one sensor and at a deviation of the position marks from a desired position Actuator controls accordingly. As a result, a control of the device is made possible during operation of the device, which ensures that the hole in the packaging material web and the cover strip are always arranged at the desired desired position.
Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei der eine Verpackungsanlage eine besonders hohe Leistung aufweist, ist es vorgesehen, dass das Gestell zur Aufnahme von zwei Trägerelementen mit jeweils drei Einrichtungen dient und, dass die jeweils drei Einrichtungen mit jeweils einer separaten Packstoff- bahn zusammenwirken. Das bedeutet, dass die Verpackungsanlage im Parallelbetrieb Verpackungsbehälter herstellt bzw. befüllt, wobei ein gemeinsames Gestell zur Aufnahme aller Einrichtungen für beide Packstoffbahnen dient. In a further embodiment of the invention, in which a packaging installation has a particularly high output, it is provided that the frame serves to accommodate two carrier elements each with three devices, and that the respectively three devices cooperate with a separate packaging material web. This means that the packaging plant produces or fills packaging containers in parallel operation, whereby a common frame serves to accommodate all devices for both packaging material webs.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass eine vierte Einrichtung zum Ausbilden von wenigstens einer Öffnung oder Schwächung in dem Abdeckstreifen im Bereich des Durchgangsloches vorgesehen ist und, dass sich die vierte Einrichtung in Förderrichtung der Packstoffbahn betrachtet an die zweite und dritte Einrichtung anschließt, wobei die vierte Einrichtung ebenfalls auf dem Trägerelement angeordnet ist. Eine derartige Ausbildung der Vorrich- tung ermöglicht es, bei nichtaseptischen Anwendungen den Abdeckstreifen insoweit zu schwächen bzw. für den Verbraucher vorzubereiten, dass es nicht er- forderlich ist, dass Ausgießöffnungen mit integrierten Aufreißhilfen verwendet werden müssen. In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a fourth device for forming at least one opening or weakening in the cover strip in the region of the through hole is provided and that the fourth device in the conveying direction of the packaging material web is connected to the second and third device , wherein the fourth device is also arranged on the carrier element. Such a design of the device makes it possible to weaken the cover strip in the case of non-aseptic applications or to prepare it for the consumer so that it does not It is necessary that pouring openings with integrated tearing aids must be used.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es hierbei, wenn die vierte Einrichtung zum Ausbilden der Öffnung oder Schwächung in dem Abdeckstreifen und die erste Einrichtung zum Ausbilden des Loches in der Packstoffbahn starr miteinander verbunden sind. Eine derartige Ausbildung hat den Vorteil, dass bei einer Anpassung der Position der ersten Einrichtung in Folge der Position beispielsweise der Positionsmarken auf der Packstoffbahn gleichzeitig die vierte Einrichtung mit verstellt wird, sodass die Schwächung des Abdeckstreifens im Bezug auf das Loch in der Packstoffbahn an stets derselben Stelle erfolgt. It is particularly preferred in this case if the fourth means for forming the opening or weakening in the cover strip and the first means for forming the hole in the packaging material web are rigidly interconnected. Such a design has the advantage that when adjusting the position of the first device in consequence of the position of the position marks on the packaging material web, for example, the fourth device is also adjusted, so that the weakening of the cover strip with respect to the hole in the packaging material web at the same time Place takes place.
Ein besonders kompakter Aufbau der Vorrichtung in Längsrichtung der Packstoffbahn wird erzielt, wenn die zweite Einrichtung eine Transporteinrichtung um- fasst, die den in Form einer Rolle bevorrateten Abdeckstreifen quer zur Förderrichtung der Packstoffbahn fördert. A particularly compact construction of the device in the longitudinal direction of the packaging material web is achieved if the second device comprises a transport device which conveys the cover strip stored in the form of a roll transversely to the conveying direction of the packaging material web.

Im Übrigen werden die beiden Packstoffbahnen 2 mittels nicht dargestellter Fördereinrichtungen in den Bereich der Vor- richtung 10 taktweise gefördert. At the station 13, a first means 20 for forming the through holes in the packaging material web 2 is arranged. The first device 20 in this case comprises an in particular pneumatically up and down movably arranged punches 21, which cooperates with a non-illustrated counter-element, which is arranged on the punch 21 opposite side of the packaging material web 2. In particular, by means of the punch 21 Round through holes in the packaging material web 2 at equal intervals, based on the in Fig. 1 denoted by the reference numeral 16 conveying direction of the two packaging material webs 2 generated. Incidentally, the two packaging material webs 2 are conveyed by means of conveyors, not shown, into the area of the device 10 in cycles.
Die Station 13 umfasst ferner eine insbesondere in der Fig. 3 näher dargestellte zweite Einrichtung 25 zum Abtrennen jeweils eines Abschnitts definierter Länge des als endlose Rolle 4 bevorrateten Abdeckstreifens 1. Hierzu weist die zweite Einrichtung 25, wie insbesondere anhand der Fig. 3 erkennbar ist, ein blockför- miges Element 26 auf, das ein insbesondere pneumatisch betätigbares, auf- und abbewegbares Trennmesser 27 hat. Das Trennmesser 27 ist in der in der Fig. 3 dargestellten Position in seiner angehobenen Stellung dargestellt, bei der dieses oberhalb eines Austrittsschlitzes 28 an einer Platte 29 des blockförmigen Ele- ments 26 angeordnet ist. Der in der Fig. 3 nicht dargestellte Abdeckstreifen 1 wird hierbei mittels eines Servoantriebs 30 von der Rolle 4 jeweils um eine bestimmte Länge abgezogen, so dass der abgezogene Abschnitt des Abdeckstreifens 1 in der Stillstandsphase des Servoantriebs 30 aus dem Austrittsschlitz 28 herausragt und durch Herunterfahren des Trennmessers 27 von der Rolle 4 ab- getrennt werden kann. Hierzu weist die zweite Einrichtung 25 ferner einen in derThe station 13 further comprises a second device 25, shown in more detail in particular in FIG. 3, for separating in each case a section of defined length of the cover strip 1 stored as an endless roller 4. For this, the second device 25, as can be seen in particular with reference to FIG. a block-shaped element 26, which has a particular pneumatically actuated, movable up and down cutting knife 27. The separating knife 27 is shown in the position shown in FIG. 3 in its raised position, in which it is arranged above a discharge slot 28 on a plate 29 of the block-shaped element 26. The cover strip 1, not shown in FIG. 3, is in this case withdrawn by a servo drive 30 from the roller 4 in each case by a certain length, so that the withdrawn portion of the cover strip 1 protrudes in the stoppage phase of the servo drive 30 from the exit slot 28 and by shutting down the Disconnecting blade 27 can be separated from the roller 4. For this purpose, the second device 25 also has a in the
Fig. 4 näher dargestellten Transportschlitten 33 auf, der einen in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 34 pneumatisch betriebenen, plattenförmigen Schlitten 35 hat. Fig. 4 transport carriage 33 shown in more detail, which has a pneumatically operated in the direction of the double arrow 34, plate-shaped carriage 35.
Der Schlitten 35 weist an seiner Oberseite Löcher 36 auf, die über einen An- schluss 37 mit einer nicht dargestellten Unterdruckquelle in Wirkverbindung angeordnet sind. Zum Abtrennen eines Abschnitts des Abdeckstreifens 1 von der Rolle 4 ist der Schlitten 35 hierbei in der in der Fig. 4 dargestellten Position unmittelbar im Bereich des Trennmesser 27 angeordnet, wobei durch Aktivierung der Unterdruckquelle der aus dem Austrittsschlitz 28 herausragende Abschnitt des Abdeckstreifens 1 auf dem Schlitten 35 positioniert bzw. gehalten ist. Nach dem Abtrennen des entsprechenden Abschnitts des Abdeckstreifens 1 mittels des Trennmessers 27 wird der Schlitten 35 quer in den Bereich seiner Soll- Position oberhalb des Durchgangsloches in der Packstoffbahn 2 verfahren. Diese Position ist vorzugsweise spätestens dann erreicht, wenn sich die Packstoffbahn 2 in der Vorrichtung 10 in einer Stillstandsphase befindet. In dieser Position ist der Schlitten 35 mit einer dritten Einrichtung 40 der Station 13 ausgerichtet. Die dritte Einrichtung 40 dient hierbei zum Befestigen, insbesondere zum Heißsiegeln, des abgetrennten Abdeckstreifens 1 auf der Oberseite der Packstoffbahn 2, die später die Innenseite des Verpackungsbehälters ausbildet. Hierzu weist die dritte Einrichtung 40 eine auf- und abbewegbare Siegelbacke 41 auf, deren in Wirkverbindung mit dem Abdeckstreifen 1 angeordnete Unterseite mit einer Unterdruckquelle verbundene Löcher aufweist, die den abgetrennten Bereich des Abdeckstreifens 1 an der Unterseite der Siegelbacke 41 positioniert. Die Station 13 umfasst ferner optional eine vierte Einrichtung 45, die dazu dient, eine Schwächung, z. B. in Form einer Perforation oder Ritzung, oder eines oder mehrere Löcher in dem Abdeckstreifen 1 auszubilden, nachdem dieser bereits mit der Packstoffbahn 2 verbunden ist. Hierzu ist die vierte Einrichtung 45 auf der der ersten Einrichtung 20 gegenüberliegenden Seite der dritten Einrichtung 40 angeordnet. Die vierte Einrichtung 45 umfasst ein bogenförmiges Gehäuse 46 mit einem Durchgangsschlitz 47, durch den die Packstoffbahn 2 gefördert wird. An dem Gehäuse 46 ist ein in den Figuren nicht dargestellter Stanz-, Perforati- ons-, oder Ritzstempel angeordnet, der mittels einer pneumatischen Einheit 48 auf- und abbeweglich verfahrbar ist. The carriage 35 has on its upper side holes 36, which are arranged via a connection 37 with a vacuum source, not shown, in operative connection. For separating a portion of the cover strip 1 from the roller 4, the carriage 35 is arranged here in the position shown in FIG. 4 directly in the region of the separating knife 27, wherein by activation of the vacuum source of the outlet slot 28 protruding portion of the cover strip 1 on the Carriage 35 is positioned or held. After the separation of the corresponding section of the cover strip 1 by means of the separating knife 27, the carriage 35 is moved transversely into the region of its desired position above the through hole in the packaging material web 2. This position is preferably reached at the latest when the packaging material web 2 in the device 10 is in a standstill phase. In this position, the carriage 35 is aligned with a third device 40 of the station 13. The third device 40 serves in this case for fastening, in particular for heat-sealing, the severed cover strip 1 on the upper side of the packaging material web 2, which later forms the inside of the packaging container. For this purpose, the third device 40 has a sealing jaw 41 which can be moved up and down, the underside of which, arranged in operative connection with the cover strip 1, has holes connected to a vacuum source which positions the separated region of the cover strip 1 on the underside of the sealing jaw 41. The station 13 also optionally includes a fourth means 45 which serves to weaken, e.g. B. in the form of a perforation or scribe, or one or more holes in the cover strip 1 form, after it is already connected to the packaging material web 2. For this purpose, the fourth device 45 is arranged on the side of the third device 40 opposite the first device 20. The fourth device 45 comprises an arcuate housing 46 with a passage slot 47, through which the packaging material web 2 is conveyed. Disposed on the housing 46 is a punching, perforating or scoring punch, not shown in the figures, which can be moved up and down by means of a pneumatic unit 48.
Das Trägerelement 14, das die vier Einrichtungen 20, 25, 40 und 45 trägt, ist auf einer Linearführung 52 an dem Gestell 1 1 der Vorrichtung 10 quer zur Förderrichtung der Packstoffbahn 2 verfahrbar. Diese Verfahrbarkeit bzw. Positionierung der Station 13 dient dazu, dass die Durchgangslöcher bzw. die Abdeckstrei- fen 1 im Bereich der Packstoffbahn 2 stets in einem bestimmten randseitigen Abstand von der Packstoffbahn 2 angeordnet sind. Zur Erfassung der genauen Position der Packstoffbahn 2 in Bezug auf die Station 13 dient ein in der Fig. 1 lediglich symbolhaft dargestellter Sensor 53, der auf der Packstoffbahn 2 in regelmäßigen Abständen angeordnete Positionsmarken 5 erfasst und einer Steuerein- richtung 55 der Vorrichtung 10 als Eingangswerte zuführt. Bei einer Abweichung der Position der Positionsmarken 5 von einer Soll-Position wird mittels der Steuereinrichtung 55 ein im einzelnen nicht näher dargestellter Antrieb für das Trägerelement 14 angesteuert, der das Trägerelement 14 und somit die Station 13 auf der Linearführung 52 quer zur Packstoffbahn 2 verfährt, um die Station 13 in einem definierten Abstand zur Längskante der Packstoffbahn 2 zu positionieren. Während die zweite Einrichtung 25 und die dritte Einrichtung 40, in Förderrichtung der Packstoffbahn 2 betrachtet, ortsfest an dem Gestell 1 1 bzw. dem Trägerelement 14 angeordnet sind, sind die erste Einrichtung 20 und die vierte Einrichtung 45 in Förderrichtung der Packstoffbahn 2 beweglich angeordnet. Hierzu sind die erste Einrichtung 20 und die vierte Einrichtung 45 mittels eines Längsträgers 56 starr miteinander verbunden, wobei der Längsträger 56 auf einer Führung angeordnet ist, die mittels eines Längsverstellungsantriebs 57 in Förderrichtung 16 der Packstoffbahn 2 verstellbar ist. Der Längsverstellungsantrieb 57 wird entsprechend der von dem Sensor 53, oder aber mittels eines weiteren, nicht dargestellten Sensors erfassten Position der Positionsmarken 5 angesteuert. The carrier element 14, which carries the four devices 20, 25, 40 and 45, is movable on a linear guide 52 on the frame 1 1 of the device 10 transversely to the conveying direction of the packaging material web 2. This movability or positioning of the station 13 serves to ensure that the through holes or the cover strips 1 are always arranged in the region of the packaging material web 2 at a specific edge-side distance from the packaging material web 2. For detecting the exact position of the packaging material web 2 with respect to the station 13, a sensor 53 shown only symbolically in FIG. 1 serves to detect position marks 5 arranged on the packaging material web 2 at regular intervals and a control device 55 of the device 10 as input values supplies. In the case of a deviation of the position of the position marks 5 from a desired position, a drive, which is not shown in detail, is actuated by the control device 55 for the carrier element 14, which moves the carrier element 14 and thus the station 13 on the linear guide 52 transversely to the packaging material web 2, to position the station 13 at a defined distance from the longitudinal edge of the packaging material web 2. While the second device 25 and the third device 40, viewed in the conveying direction of the packaging material web 2, are fixedly arranged on the frame 11 and the carrier element 14, the first device 20 and the fourth device 45 are arranged to be movable in the conveying direction of the packaging material web 2. For this purpose, the first means 20 and the fourth means 45 are rigidly connected to each other by means of a longitudinal member 56, wherein the longitudinal member 56 is arranged on a guide which is adjustable by means of a longitudinal adjustment drive 57 in the conveying direction 16 of the packaging material web 2. The longitudinal adjustment drive 57 is driven in accordance with the position of the position markers 5 detected by the sensor 53, or else by means of a further sensor, not shown.
Die soweit beschriebene Vorrichtung 10 arbeitet wie folgt: Mittels der nicht dargestellten Förderreinrichtung für die Packstoffbahn 2 wird diese taktweise in den Bereich der Vorrichtung 10 gefördert. Vorzugsweise während der Förderphase der Packstoffbahn 2 wird mittels des Servomotors 30 der zweiten Einrichtung 25 ein Abschnitt definierter Länge des Abdeckstreifens 1 von der Rolle 4 abgezogen und mittels des Trennmessers 27 abgetrennt. Der abgetrennte Abdeckstreifen 1 wird daraufhin mittels des Schlittens 35 in Deckung mit der Position des während einer zuvor stattgefundenen Stillstandsphase in die Packstoffbahn 2 mittels der ersten Einrichtung 20 ausgebildeten Durchgangsloches gebracht. Sobald nun das Durchgangsloch der Packstoffbahn 2 während der Stillstandsphase der Fördereinrichtung in Deckung mit dem abgetrennten Abdeckstreifen 1 ist, wird der zuvor von dem Schlitten 35 an die vakuumunterstützte Siegelbacke 41 überge- bene Abdeckstreifen 1 durch Herunterfahren und Andrücken des Abdeckstreifens 1 mit der Packstoffbahn 2 verbunden. Hierbei findet bevorzugt eine Heißsiege- lung zwischen dem Abdeckstreifen 1 und der Packstoffbahn 2 statt. Anschließend wird die Packstoffbahn 2 mit dem aufgesiegelten Abdeckstreifen 1 weiter gefördert. Während der nächsten Stillstandsphase kann mittels der optional vorgesehenen vierten Einrichtung 45 im Bereich des Durchgangsloches der Ab- deckstreifen 1 mit der beschriebenen Schwächung versehen werden. The device 10 described so far operates as follows: By means of the conveying device, not shown, for the packaging material web 2, it is conveyed intermittently into the region of the device 10. Preferably, during the conveying phase of the packaging material web 2, a section of defined length of the cover strip 1 is withdrawn from the roll 4 by means of the servomotor 30 of the second device 25 and separated by means of the separating knife 27. The separated cover strip 1 is then brought by means of the carriage 35 in coincidence with the position of the formed during a previously occurred standstill phase in the packaging material web 2 by means of the first device 20 through hole. As soon as the through hole of the packaging material web 2 is in coincidence with the separated cover strip 1 during the stoppage phase of the conveyor, the cover strip 1 previously transferred by the carriage 35 to the vacuum-supported sealing jaw 41 is connected to the packaging material web 2 by lowering and pressing the cover strip 1 , In this case, preferably a heat seal takes place between the cover strip 1 and the packaging material web 2. Subsequently, the packaging material web 2 is further promoted with the sealed cover strip 1. During the next standstill phase, the cover strip 1 can be provided with the described weakening by means of the optionally provided fourth device 45 in the region of the through-hole.
Ergänzend wird erwähnt, dass das Abtrennen der Abdeckstreifen 1 sowie deren Förderung in dem Bereich, in dem der Abdeckstreifen 1 anschließend mit der Packstoffbahn 2 verbunden wird, vorzugsweise während der Förderphase der Packstoffbahn 2 erfolgt, damit die Leistung der Vorrichtung 10 optimiert wird. Die soweit beschriebene Vorrichtung 10 kann in vielfältiger weise modifiziert bzw. abgewandelt werde, ohne vom Erfindungsgedanken abzuweichen. In addition, it is mentioned that the separation of the cover strips 1 and their promotion in the area in which the cover strip 1 is subsequently connected to the packaging material web 2, preferably during the delivery phase of the packaging material web 2, so that the performance of the device 10 is optimized. The device 10 described so far can be modified or modified in many ways, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
