- the invention is based on the object of further developing devices of the type mentioned, in particular with regard to a powerful and versatile use of the blanks from the magazine.
- a device has the features of claim 1. It is therefore provided that the removal member is designed as a toothed belt, which is arranged extending in the region of the removal opening and the openings as suction holes for applying blanks in the removal opening of the magazine with a vacuum for individual removal of the same from the magazine and on the other preferably shingled transport of the same from the area of the magazine. It has been shown that the timing belt with suction holes is particularly suitable for removing the blanks from the magazine at high speed of up to 600 St./min and beyond and also allows scaling of the removed blanks directly at the removal. In this way, additional facilities for subsequent scaling of the blanks are dispensable.
- the toothed belt has a preferably central region which extends in the longitudinal direction of the toothed belt, wherein the toothed belt in this region preferably has teeth on the underside for engagement with corresponding gears, and wherein the apertures arranged outside the teeth are, preferably each side of the central area.
- Another special feature of the toothed belt may consist in that a (top) side of the toothed belt facing the removal opening of the magazine is inclined, preferably bevelled, in the region of the perforations to lateral flanks of the toothed belt. It has surprisingly been found that a reliable removal of the blanks is ensured by this measure.
- a (top) side of the toothed belt facing the removal opening of the magazine has a substantially planar design in the central region having the teeth and is bevelled laterally in each case towards the flanks of the toothed belt.
- a vacuum chamber is provided for transmitting the negative pressure to the toothed belt, wherein the effective range of the vacuum chamber with respect to the removal opening of the magazine by means of an adjusting device is variable to adjust a Schuppungsgrads the blanks.
- the shingling degree of the blanks can also be changed by holding the blanks in the magazine in the transport direction of the toothed belt by a holding member, the holding member preferably abutting the stack of blanks laterally, and the positioning of the holding member relative to the removal opening of the Magazine or the plane of the toothed belt by means of an adjusting device is changeable to adjust the Schuppungsgrads the blanks.
- the toothed belt is guided and driven by tooth edges, wherein the position of the toothed belt with respect to the removal opening by means of an adjusting device is adjustable.
- At least one gear is separately adjustable, in particular pivotable, is.
- Further measures may relate to an adjusting device, with which the stack of blanks with respect to the removal opening or the toothed belt is spaced, for stopping the supply of blanks to the toothed belt.
- the toothed belt guided over the toothed wheels extends in the region of the removal opening along an arc or in a radius, wherein the toothed belt is guided in the region of the vacuum chamber for specifying the arc of the toothed belt.
- the device according to the invention is particularly suitable for blanks, which with their longitudinal extent transversely to the transport direction of the toothed belt in Magazine are arranged. It has surprisingly been found that such - otherwise very difficult to handle blanks - can be processed very safely and reliably. According to a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the toothed belt is continuously driven in the region of the removal opening, in particular with a small, preferably vertical distance from the same. Further details and preferred embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the drawings and the description in
- Fig. 1 shows a device for handling blanks
- FIG. 3 is a vertical section through the device along section line III - III in Fig. 1,
- FIG. 5 is a detail of the device in an enlarged view corresponding to section V in Fig. 3,
- Fig. 6 shows a detail of the device in an enlarged view
- Area of a vacuum chamber in Fig. 1, 7 is a vertical section through the device along section line VII - VII in Figure 3 with low scaling of the blanks,
- FIG. 8 shows a vertical section through the device along section line VII-VII in FIG. 3 with larger scaling of the blanks
- Banderols are often used in the form of tax stamps in the cigarette industry. However, since the invention is not limited to such tax stamps and in particular can also be used for coupons, the generic term blank is used below.
- the blank 10 may be made of a thin packaging material such as paper, foil or combinations thereof.
- the magazine 12 is upright or vertically aligned in the present case and has an upper feed opening 13 for blanks 10 or stack 11 thereof and a lower removal opening 14.
- the blanks 10 and the stack 11 are aligned by two opposite magazine walls 15, 16.
- a recess is incorporated in the magazine wall 16 in the present case, which is adapted to the cross section of the stack 11, so that the magazine wall 16 is also guided in the region of transverse side walls. Longitudinal side walls of the blanks 10 are guided through the magazine walls 15, 16.
- a pneumatic lock 17 can be arranged in the area of the magazine wall 15, as in the present case. With the help of the lock 17, a negative pressure on portions of the stack 11 in the region of the magazine wall 15 can be exercised, so that a lower part of the stack 11 is relieved. This can be helpful when separating the blanks 10.
- Another special feature in the present case is that the blanks 10 are arranged in the magazine 12 such that the longitudinal extent of the blanks 10 are arranged transversely to the transport direction 18.
- a first feature of the device relates to an organ for removing the blanks 10 from the magazine 12.
- the special removal member is disposed below the magazine 12, namely at a small distance to the removal opening 14.

- the toothed belt 19th is guided as an endless conveyor via gears 20, 21 and arranged such that an upper run of the toothed belt 19 extends below the magazine 12 for removal of the blanks 10 and for lateral removal thereof in the transport direction 18.
- the blanks 10 held in the magazine 12 are underside on the timing belt 19 subjected to a negative pressure or suction and pulled out in this way from the magazine and conveyed in the transport direction 18, wherein they rest in a shingled arrangement on the upper run of the toothed belt 19.
- the toothed belt 19 has a central region 22 which is formed along the longitudinal center axis continuously in the toothed belt 19.
- the toothed belt 19 has teeth 23 which are formed or formed on the inside on the toothed belt 19 and which serve to engage with the toothed wheels 20, 21.
- apertures 24 are formed as suction bores for acting on the blanks 10 with a negative pressure or suction air in the toothed belt 19. It is provided that the openings 24 are arranged outside of the teeth 23 having region 22. In the present case, the apertures 24 are each arranged laterally of the central region 22 along the toothed belt 19. In the embodiment shown, two openings 24 are arranged on both sides of the central region 22, which are positioned in a row. Several such rows are arranged distributed over the circumference of the toothed belt 19. Conceivable, however, are other patterns.
- a further particular detail is with regard to the cross section of the toothed belt 19.
- An upper side of the toothed belt 19 is bevelled on both sides of the central region 22, namely inclined towards lateral flanks of the toothed belt 19. It has surprisingly been found that such a construction of the toothed belt 19 has a positive effect on a proper removal of the blanks 10 from the magazine 12. Overall, this results in a substantially trapezoidal cross-section of the toothed belt 19.
- Another special feature is the arrangement of a holding member 26 in the region of the magazine 12th The magazine wall 16 does not extend to the lower end of the magazine 12, but ends at a distance therefrom. In this area, the holding member 26 is disposed below the magazine wall 16.
- the holding member 26 is formed such that it rests only laterally punctiform on the stack 11 of blanks 10, so that the blanks 10 are held counter to the transport direction 18 by the holding member 26 accordingly.
- the holding member 26 is shaped so that a punctiform, central contact of the holding member 26 is given to the blanks 10 and the stack 11.
- the holding member 26 extends in the region of a lower end to a tip, with which the holding member 26 abuts.
- the holding member 26 is height-adjustable mounted on the magazine wall 16.
- the adjustment of the holding member 26 can either be done manually or by means of an indicated in the drawings optional servomotor 27.
- the control of the position of the holding member 26, for example, by a (separate) control device or the machine control of the packaging machine can be made.
- a so-called vacuum chamber 28 is provided.
- the vacuum chamber 28 is connected via a line 29 to a vacuum source, not shown.
- the line 29 opens into channels 30, which lead to the openings 24 of the toothed belt 19. Accordingly, the vacuum chamber 28 is disposed below the upper run of the toothed belt 19, namely in the region of the removal opening 14 of the magazine 12th

Furthermore, the sliding piece 33 has two projections 35 which project into the openings 34 and close these regions. Between gate piece 33 and cassette 32 seals 36 are arranged.
- the position of the link piece 33 within the cassette 32 can be visualized on the outside by a position pointer 37.
- the position indicator 37 is a rod which is arranged on the housing of the link piece 33 and passes through a slot 38 in the cassette 32.
- a scale 39 is provided on the outside of the housing of the cassette 32, which allows a determination of the position of the sliding piece 33 in the cassette 32.
- an adjusting device can be used to move the slide piece 33 within the cassette 32.
- the adjustment of the sliding piece 33 can either be done manually or by means of an optional servomotor.
- the control of the position of the link piece 33 can be carried out, for example, by a (separate) control device or the machine control of the packaging machine.
- FIG. 5 Another device of the device is associated with the magazine 12. It is an adjusting member in the form of a holding fork 40, which can act on the underside of the stack 11.
- the holding fork 40 has two prongs 41, which protrude into the region below the magazine 12 and are adapted to lift the stack 11 and spaced from the toothed belt 19. Furthermore, the holding fork 40 can be lowered, so that the stack 11 can be required by the toothed belt 19.
- Both positions of the holding fork 40 and the tines 41 are shown in Fig. 5. In the left half of Fig. 5, the raised position of the holding fork 40 and the tines 41 is shown. In this position, the blanks 10 can not be removed by the toothed belt 19. In the right half of FIG. 5, however, the operating state with lowered holding fork 40 or tines 41 is shown.
- Fig. 1 shows, as an example, a pneumatic cylinder 43.
- the control of the position of the holding fork 40 may be performed, for example, by a (separate) control device or the machine control of the packaging machine. Further details of the device relate to the maintenance thereof.
- the cassette 32 of the vacuum chamber 28, and the toothed belt 19 and the gears 20, 21 are mounted on a base plate 44 which is adjustable relative to the magazine 12 in the vertical direction.
- the base plate 44 is mounted displaceably in the vertical direction on a frame 45.
- a lever 46 is articulated, which in turn is pivotally connected to a second lever 47, which is mounted on the frame 45 on the articulated.
- an actuating means 49 is also arranged, which has a grill 50.
- the gear 21 is arranged on a pivotally mounted carrier 51 (Fig. 6).

- a belt conveyor 55 is arranged above the toothed belt 19, wherein the blanks 10 are stowed between the lower run of the belt conveyor 55 and the upper run of the toothed belt 19 are promoted.
- a further belt conveyor 56 is provided, the upper strand extends in extension of the upper run of the toothed belt 19, to continue the conveying path.
- the blanks 10 are held ready as a stack 11 in the magazine 12 and removed by a bottom side formed in the magazine 12 removal opening 14 through the toothed belt 19 as a removal organ.
- the toothed belt 19 on openings 24 which are formed outside the range of the teeth 23 in the toothed belt 19 and through which the stack 11 is subjected to a negative pressure or suction.
- the toothed belt 19 is driven continuously and guided at a short distance to the magazine 12 and the removal opening, so that the blanks 10 are detected sequentially and held by the suction air on the upper run of the toothed belt 19.
- the holding member 26 is punctiform on the stack 11 in the region of the blanks 10 to be removed. In this way, a shingling of successively removed blanks 10 on the upper run of the toothed belt 19 is achieved overall.
- the device allows control of scaling of the blanks 10.
- the length or position of the vacuum chamber 31 are changed.
- the vacuum chamber 31 extends only in the region below the holding member 26.
- the vacuum chamber 28 can be increased, so it extends further into the region of the removal opening 14 (FIG. 8). In this way, the range of action of the vacuum organ is increased or shifted.
- Fig. 7 shows a vacuum chamber 28 with a small size and arrangement below the holding member 26 and a small distance between the holding member 26 and the upper run of the toothed belt 19, resulting in a large shingling of the blanks 10. Accordingly, the pitch S, so the horizontal distance from a vorvoriegenden in the transport direction 18 edge of a blank 10 to the vorvoriegenden in the direction of transport 18 edge of a subsequent blank 10, large.
- Fig. 8 shows the opposite case, namely a greater distance between the holding member 26 and the upper run of the toothed belt 19 and a longer vacuum chamber 28, which extends further below the magazine 12. This leads to a smaller pitch S.
