  • the applied strip 1 4 or strip section 1 4a may consist of a single- or multi-ply paper and / or plastic film or a metal, which can be adapted to the task to be fulfilled by the material properties, the thickness and the width.
  • the strip 1 4 can be printed with information that is tailored to the product combination 1 1 a, b.
  • the strip 1 4 can also be provided with information carriers of a different kind, such as magnetic strips or wirelessly readable data memories (eg RFI Ds).
  • the strip 1 4 can be color-coded. In the simplest case, the strip 1 4 is uncoated. However, it can also be provided on at least one side with an adhesive or adhesive layer, which then faces during application of the brought-up product combination 1 1 a, b.
  • strip 1 4 may be provided at the edges with notches to the subsequent separation of the attached strip portions 1 to 4a facilitate.
  • strip-like elements instead of strip-like elements but also whole leaves can be used to encompass the product composition.
  • Fig. 5 shows a to FIG. 4 comparable single-element application device 35, in which individual, in particular self-adhesive, labels 34 or comparable individual elements on a carrier tape 33 are introduced.
  • the carrier tape 33 is deflected sharply downward, so that the individual elements 34 practically automatically detach from the carrier tape 33 or peel off and under the influence of the air jet from the air nozzle 1 6b in the transport path of the product compositions 1 1 a, b be put.
  • the empty carrier tape 33 can be wound up, as shown in FIG. 5 is indicated.
  • the individual elements or labels 34 may be printed or otherwise provided with optical or electronic information (eg in the form of barcodes or RFI Ds) in order to communicate with the respective product composition to the end user or to the bearer to get the products.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour appliquer au moins un segment de bande (14a) sur un assemblage plat de produits (11a, b) comprenant en particulier des produits imprimés. Selon ce procédé, un segment de bande (14a) ou un élément séparé de longueur prédéfinie est préparé, puis appliqué perpendiculairement sur une arête sélectionnée (31) de l'assemblage de produits (11a, b), autour de cette arête de manière adjacente à l'assemblage de produits (11a, b). Un fonctionnement sûr, indépendant du type de bande, est obtenu par le fait que l'assemblage de produits (11a, b) est déplacé le long de la bande de transport (12), l'arête sélectionnée (31) en avant, que le segment de bande (14a) est préparé à une position prédéfinie de la bande de transport (12), de manière à croiser la bande de transport, et que l'arête sélectionnée (31) de l'assemblage de produits (11a, b) passe devant la position prédéfinie, l'arête sélectionnée (31) emportant ainsi avec elle le segment de bande (14a) préparé.
