Die Erfindung wird nachfolgand anhand von Beuteln 10 zur Aufnahme von Tabak beschrieben. Die in Fig. 1 bis 24 gezeigten Beutel 10 sind aus dünnem Verpackungsmaterial, insbesondere (thermisch siegelbarer) Folie, gebildet. Der Beutel 10 besteht aus einem einstückigen, hier rechteckigen, langgestreckten Zuschnitt, der aufgrund Umfaltung eines Schenkels eine Tasche 11 bildet für den Packungsinhalt mit Taschen-Vorderwand 12 und Taschen-Rückwand 13. Diese aneinanderliegenden Bereiche des Zuschnitts sind durch thermisches Schweißen oder Kleben miteinander verbunden, und im Bereich von Seitennähten 14, 15. Eine Öffnung dient zum Befüllen der Tasche 11 und zur Entnahme des Inhalts.The invention will be described below with reference to bags 10 for receiving tobacco. In the Fig. 1 to 24 shown pouch 10 are made of thin packaging material, in particular (thermally sealable) film formed. The bag 10 consists of a one-piece, here rectangular, elongated blank, which forms a pocket 11 due to folding of a leg for the package contents with pocket front wall 12 and pocket rear wall 13. These adjacent portions of the blank are joined together by thermal welding or gluing , and in the area of side seams 14, 15. An opening is used to fill the bag 11 and to remove the contents.

Die Taschen-Rückwand 13 ist über die Öffnung hinaus verlängert und bildet eine Beutellasche 16. Diese wird bei gefüllter Tasche 11 um diese herumgewickelt, derart, dass ein Endbereich der Beutellasche 16 an der Taschen-Rückwand 13 anliegt und mit dieser verbunden ist. Die Beutellasche 16 erstreckt sich bei geschlossenem Beutel 10 sowohl über eine Vorderseite 17 als auch eine Rückseite 18 des Beutels 10.The bag rear wall 13 is extended beyond the opening and forms a bag flap 16. This bag is wrapped around it with the bag 11 filled, such that an end portion of the bag flap 16 abuts the bag rear wall 13 and is connected thereto. The bag flap 16 extends when the bag 10 is closed both on a front side 17 and a rear side 18 of the bag 10.

Der Beutel 10 ist mit durch Klebung befestigten (separaten) Zuschnitten versehen. Bei dem vorliegenden Beispiel ist als Verschlussmittel des Beutels 10 ein Zuschnitt in Gestalt eines Tapes 19 am freien Rand der Beutellasche 16 - etwa mittig - angebracht. Das streifenförmige Verschlussmittel weist einseitig eine Beschichtung aus Dauerkleber auf und am freien Endbereich eine klebstofffreie Grifflasche 20.The bag 10 is provided with glued (separate) blanks. In the present example, as a closure means of the bag 10, a blank in the form of a tape 19 at the free edge of the bag flap 16 - approximately centrally - attached. The strip-shaped closure means has a coating of permanent adhesive on one side and an adhesive-free grip tab 20 on the free end region.

Weiterhin ist bei diesem Beispiel am Beutel 10 ein weiterer Zuschnitt angebracht, nämlich eine (Steuer-)Bandole 21. Die Banderole 21 ist wie das Tape 19 positioniert, jedoch nicht mittig, sondern seitlich benachbart und mit Abstand zum Tape 19. Darüber hinaus sind am Beutel 10 Gesundheitshinweise 22 (Health-Warnings) angebracht, nämlich im Bereich der Taschen-Rückwand 13, der Innenseite der Beutellasche 16 sowie der Außenseite der Beutellasche 16. Bei den Gesundheitshinweisen 22 handelt es sich um großflächige Bedruckungen entsprechend der jeweiligen gesetzlichen Anforderungen, beispielsweise eine Kombination aus textlichen Warnhinweisen sowie Bildern.Furthermore, in this example, the bag 10 another blank attached, namely a (control) Bandole 21. The band 21 is positioned like the tape 19, but not centrally, but laterally adjacent and spaced from the tape 19. In addition, are 22 health warnings), namely in the area of the bag back wall 13, the inside of the bag flap 16 and the outside of the bag 16. The health advice 22 is large-scale printing according to the respective legal requirements, such as a Combination of textual warnings and pictures.

Eine weitere Besonderheit des gezeigten Beutels 10 besteht darin, dass die Beutellasche 16 gegenüber den im Stand der Technik bekannten Beuteln verlängert ist. Üblicherweise endet die Beutellasche 16 etwa auf halber Höhe der Taschen-Vorderwand 12 oder der Taschen-Rückwand 13. Im vorliegenden Fall ist die Beutellasche 16 jedoch verlängert etwa bis in den Bereich des Übergangs zwischen der Vorderseite 17 und der Rückseite 18 des Beutels 10. Entsprechend erstreckt sich sowohl das Tape 19 als auch die Grifflasche 20 ausgehend von der Rückseite 18 bis in den Bereich der Vorderseite 17. Die beiden Zuschnitte erstrecken sich damit über eine gedachte Beutelkante zwischen den beiden gegenüberliegenden großformatigen Seitenflächen hinweg.Another peculiarity of the bag 10 shown is that the bag flap 16 is lengthened relative to the bags known in the prior art. Usually, the bag flap 16 ends about halfway up the pocket front wall 12 or the Pocket rear wall 13. In the present case, however, the bag flap 16 is extended approximately into the area of the transition between the front 17 and the back 18 of the bag 10. Accordingly, both the tape 19 and the handle tab 20 extend from the rear side 18 into the area of the front side 17. The two blanks thus extend beyond an imaginary edge of the bag between the two opposite large-sized side surfaces.

Beide Zuschnitte (Tape 19 und Banderole 21) sind so an der Beutellasche 16 angeordnet, dass ein erster Abschnitt 23 des Zuschnitts jeweils an der Beutellasche 16 angebracht ist und über einen Rand 24 der Beutellasche 16 hinaussteht. Ein zweiter Abschnitt 25 der Zuschnitte steht über den Rand 24 hinaus und wird um die gedachte Beutelkante herum gelegt. Im vorliegenden Fall ist am Ende des zweiten Abschnitts 25 des Tapes 19 die Grifflasche 20 ausgebildet.Both blanks (tape 19 and banderole 21) are arranged on the bag flap 16 such that a first section 23 of the blank is respectively attached to the bag flap 16 and projects beyond an edge 24 of the bag flap 16. A second portion 25 of the blanks projects beyond the edge 24 and is wrapped around the imaginary edge of the bag. In the present case, the handle tab 20 is formed at the end of the second portion 25 of the tape 19.

Nachfolgend wird die Anbringung der Zuschnitte anhand von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen von Verpackungsmaschinen beschrieben.The attachment of the blanks will be described below with reference to two embodiments of packaging machines.

Erstes Ausführungsbeispiel:First embodiment:

Fig. 4 zeigt einen Teil einer Verpackungsmaschine in einer Seitenansicht, die zum Anbringen der Zuschnitte an befüllten Beuteln 10 dient. In einem ersten Arbeitsschritt wird eine fortlaufende Materialbahn 26 für das Tape 19 von einer Bobine 27 abgewickelt und über diverse Umlenkrollen 28 in den Bereich einer Schneideinrichtung 29 geführt. Dort werden einzelne Tapes 19 von der fortlaufenden Materialbahn 26 abgetrennt und an eine Auflegetrommel 30 übergeben. Fig. 4 shows a part of a packaging machine in a side view, which serves for attaching the blanks to filled bags 10. In a first step, a continuous material web 26 for the tape 19 is unwound from a reel 27 and guided over various deflection rollers 28 in the region of a cutting device 29. There, individual tapes 19 are separated from the continuous material web 26 and transferred to a lay-up drum 30.

Mit Hilfe der Auflegetrommel 30 werden die Tapes 19 an die Beutel 10 übergeben. Dies erfolgt derart, dass lediglich der erste Abschnitt 23 jedes Tapes 19 an jeweils einem Beutel 10 angebracht wird, sodass der zweite Abschnitt 25 über den freien Rand 24 der Beutellasche 16 hinaussteht (Fig. 5).With the help of the laying drum 30, the tapes 19 are transferred to the bag 10. This takes place in such a way that only the first section 23 of each tape 19 is attached to a respective bag 10 so that the second section 25 projects beyond the free edge 24 of the bag flap 16 ( Fig. 5 ).

Während der Anbringung des ersten Abschnitts 23 des Tapes 19 liegt der Beutel 10 flach auf einem Transportgurt 31, mit dem die Beutel 10 durch die Vorrichtung hindurch gefördert werden. Die Beutel 10 sind mit ihrer Längsrichtung in bzw. parallel zur Transportrichtung weisend auf dem Transportgurt 31 angeordnet. Jeweils seitlich des Transportgurts 31 sind Führungen 32 auf Höhe der Beutel 10 vorgesehen. Quer zur Transportrichtung sind die Beutel 10 jeweils zwischen Mitnehmern 33 des Transportgurts 31 positioniert.During the attachment of the first portion 23 of the tape 19, the bag 10 lies flat on a conveyor belt 31, with which the bags 10 are conveyed through the device. The bags 10 are arranged with their longitudinal direction in or parallel to the transport direction pointing to the conveyor belt 31. Each side of the transport belt 31 guides 32 are provided at the height of the bag 10. Cross to Transport direction, the bag 10 are each positioned between carriers 33 of the transport belt 31.

Entsprechend der Lage des Beutels 10 auf dem Transportgurt 31 werden die vereinzelten Tapes 19 mit ihrer Längserstreckung quer zur Transportrichtung weisend auf den Beuteln 10 abgelegt.According to the position of the bag 10 on the conveyor belt 31, the separated tapes 19 are placed with their longitudinal extent pointing transversely to the transport direction on the bags 10.

Im Anschluss an die Auflegetrommel 30 passieren die Beutel 10 eine Andrückeinrichtung 34 zum Andrücken der ersten Abschnitte 23 der Tapes 19 gegen die Oberseite der Beutel 10. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Andrückeinrichtung 34 durch eine oberhalb der Transportstrecke angeordnete Schaumstoffrolle 35 gebildet, die drehend an einer Achse 36 gelagert ist. Mit Hilfe der Schaumstoffrolle 35 wird der erste Abschnitt 23 gegen die Oberseite des Beutels 10 gedrückt, sodass eine Leimverbindung zwischen dem Tape 19 und der Beutellasche 16 etabliert wird.Following the laying drum 30, the bags 10 pass a pressing device 34 for pressing the first portions 23 of the tapes 19 against the top of the bag 10. In the present embodiment, the pressing device 34 is formed by a arranged above the transport path foam roller 35, the rotating at one Axis 36 is mounted. With the aid of the foam roller 35, the first portion 23 is pressed against the top of the bag 10, so that a glue connection between the tape 19 and the bag flap 16 is established.

Der hierfür notwendige Leim kann vor Ort mit einem Leimaggregat auf das Tape 19 oder die Materialbahn 26 aufgetragen werden. Alternativ können vorbeleimte Materialbahnen 26 zum Einsatz kommen. Gegebenenfalls kann der Leim beim Anbringen des Tapes reaktiviert werden.The necessary glue can be applied on site with a glue unit on the tape 19 or the web 26. Alternatively, pre-glued material webs 26 can be used. Optionally, the glue can be reactivated when attaching the tape.

In einer nächsten Bearbeitungsstation im Bereich des Transportgurts 31 wird der zweite Abschnitt 25 des Tapes 19 in einer Umlegestation 37 um den Beutel 10 herumgelegt und der Kontur des Beutels 10 folgend an diesem angedrückt bis in den Bereich einer Unterseite des Beutels 10.In a next processing station in the region of the transport belt 31, the second portion 25 of the tape 19 is wrapped around the bag 10 in a transfer station 37 and pressed against the contour of the bag 10 up to the area of an underside of the bag 10.

Hierzu werden die Beutel 10 seitlich bzw. quer zur Transportrichtung teilweise vom Transportgurt 31 abgeschoben, um die Unterseite der Beutel 10 freizulegen. Um zu verhindern, dass die Beutel 10 dabei seitlich vom Transportgurt 31 abrutschen, ist in diesem Bereich auf Höhe der Oberseite des Transportgurts 31 eine Auflagefläche 38 für die Beutel 10 positioniert.For this purpose, the bags 10 are laterally or transversely to the transport direction partially deported from the transport belt 31 to expose the bottom of the bag 10. In order to prevent the bags 10 from slipping off the side of the transport belt 31, a support surface 38 for the bags 10 is positioned in this area at the level of the upper side of the transport belt 31.

Zum seitlichen Abschieben dient ein neben dem Transportgurt 31 angeordneter Schieber 39, der im Bereich einer Kontaktfläche zur Anlage am Beutel 10 im Wesentlichen komplementär zur Kontur der Beutel 10 gestaltet ist, nämlich mit einer etwa trapezförmigen Ausnehmung.For lateral pushing off, a slider 39 arranged next to the transport belt 31 is used, which in the region of a contact surface for engagement with the bag 10 is designed substantially complementary to the contour of the bag 10, namely with an approximately trapezoidal recess.

Als Gegenstück zum Schieber 39 ist auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite eine ortsfeste Führung 40 angeordnet, die eine entsprechende Kontaktfläche aufweist, sodass die Beutel 10 zwischen den Kontaktflächen des Schiebers 39 und der Führung 40 gehalten werden kann.As a counterpart to the slider 39, a stationary guide 40 is arranged on the opposite side, which has a corresponding contact surface, so that the bag 10 can be held between the contact surfaces of the slider 39 and the guide 40.

Im Bereich der Oberseite des Beutels 10 ist ein Niederhalter 41 vorgesehen, mit dem der Beutel 10 gegen den Transportgurt 31 gedrückt wird, um so die Position der Beutellasche 16 gegen Verschieben zu sichern, wenn ein Tape 19 angebracht wird. Der Niederhalter 41 ist mit dem Schieber 39 im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel mechanisch gekoppelt und wird entsprechend zusammen mit diesen bewegt. Dabei wird nicht nur Druck von oben auf den Beutel 10 ausgeübt, sondern der Niederhalten 41 richtet die Beutellasche 16 auch aus, insbesondere im Bezug auf die Seitenränder des Beutels 10. Weiterhin hält der Niederhalter 41 die Beutellasche 16 in der ausgerichteten Position.In the area of the top of the bag 10, a hold-down 41 is provided, with which the bag 10 is pressed against the transport belt 31, so as to secure the position of the bag flap 16 against displacement when a tape 19 is attached. The hold-down 41 is mechanically coupled to the slider 39 in the present embodiment and is moved accordingly along with these. Not only is pressure exerted on the bag 10 from above, but the hold down 41 also aligns the bag flap 16, particularly with respect to the side edges of the bag 10. Furthermore, the hold down 41 holds the bag flap 16 in the aligned position.

Der eigentliche Vorgang des Umlegens des zweiten Abschnitts 25 des Tapes 19 erfolgt mittels eines separaten Organs, nämlich mittels einer Andrückeinrichtung 42. Die Andrückeinrichtung 42 weist eine Andrückrolle 43 auf, die drehbar an einem Arm 44 gelagert ist.The actual process of flipping the second portion 25 of the tape 19 is effected by means of a separate member, namely by means of a pressing device 42. The pressing device 42 has a pressure roller 43 which is rotatably mounted on an arm 44.

Die Andrückrolle 43 ist am Arm 44 durch ein nicht gezeigtes Getriebe wie folgt bewegbar: Wenn ein Beutel 10 die Umlegestation 73 erreicht, befindet sich die Andrückrolle 43 oberhalb des Beutels 10 und seitlich versetzt hierzu, nämlich oberhalb und mit Abstand zum zweiten Abschnitt 25 des Tapes 19. Nach dem seitlichen Verschieben des Beutels 10 gemäß Fig. 7 wird die Andrückrolle 43 in einer Schwenkbewegung der Kontur des Beutels 10 folgend bewegt, unter Mitnahme bzw. unter Anlegen des zweiten Abschnitts 25 des Tapes 19 am Umfang des Beutels 10 entsprechend Fig. 7 und 8. Dabei wird die Andrückrolle 43 bis in den Bereich einer Unterseite des Beutels 10 geführt, um den zweiten Abschnitt 25 des Tapes 19 auch hier anzudrücken und zu befestigen.The pressure roller 43 is movable on the arm 44 by a gear, not shown, as follows: When a bag 10 reaches the Umlegestation 73, the pressure roller 43 is above the bag 10 and laterally offset thereto, namely above and at a distance from the second portion 25 of the tape 19. After the lateral displacement of the bag 10 according to Fig. 7 the pressure roller 43 is moved in a pivoting movement of the contour of the bag 10 following, under entrainment or under application of the second portion 25 of the tape 19 on the circumference of the bag 10 accordingly Fig. 7 and 8th , In this case, the pressure roller 43 is guided into the region of an underside of the bag 10 in order to press and secure the second portion 25 of the tape 19 here as well.

Damit die Andrückrolle 43 das Tape 19 wie beschrieben am Beutel 10 befestigen kann, ist zum einen im Arbeitsbereich der Andrückrolle 43 eine Aussparung 45 in der seitlichen Führung 40 vorgesehen, sowie eine entsprechende Aussparung in der Auflagefläche 38.So that the pressure roller 43 can fix the tape 19 to the bag 10 as described, a recess 45 in the lateral guide 40 is provided on the one hand in the working area of the pressure roller 43, and a corresponding recess in the bearing surface 38.

Nach dem Umlegen des zweiten Abschnitts 25 des Tapes 19 wird der Beutel 10 wieder in seine ursprüngliche Relativlage am Transportgurt 31 zurückgeschoben, nämlich mittels seitlich verschwenkender Führungen 40 (Fig. 9, unten).After folding over the second section 25 of the tape 19, the bag 10 is pushed back again into its original relative position on the conveyor belt 31, namely by means of laterally pivoting guides 40 (FIG. Fig. 9 , below).

Wie sich aus Fig. 9 ferner ergibt, erstreckt sich die Führung 40 sowie der Schieber 39 etwa über die Länge eines Beutels 10. Der Schieber ist dabei an zwei Schubstangen 46 gelagert und hydraulisch, mechanisch oder pneumatisch betätigbar.As it turned out Fig. 9 Furthermore, the guide 40 and the slide 39 extends approximately over the length of a bag 10. The slide is mounted on two push rods 46 and hydraulically, mechanically or pneumatically actuated.

Im nächsten Schritt werden die Banderolen 21 aufgelegt. Die hierzu benötigten Banderolen 21 stammen aus einem Banderolenmagazin 47, aus dem die Banderolen 21 einzeln entnommen und mit Abstand zueinander an den Umfang einer weiteren Auflegetrommel 48 übergeben werden. Während des Transports der Banderolen 21 auf der Auflegetrommel 48 wird mit einer Leimdüse 49 Leim auf die Banderolen 21 aufgetragen und diese von der Auflegetrommel 48 auf den Beutel 10 aufgelegt. Dies erfolgt wie bei den Tapes 19 nur mit einem ersten Abschnitt 23, wohingegen ein zweiter Abschnitt 25 der Banderolen 21 frei über den Rand 24 der Beutellaschen 16 hinaussteht.In the next step, the bands 21 are placed. The banderoles 21 required for this purpose come from a banderole magazine 47, from which the banderoles 21 are removed one by one and at a distance from one another are transferred to the periphery of another laying drum 48. During the transport of the banderoles 21 on the laying drum 48 glue is applied to the banderoles 21 with a glue nozzle 49 and these are placed on the bag 10 by the laying drum 48. As in the case of the tapes 19, this takes place only with a first section 23, whereas a second section 25 of the bands 21 protrudes freely beyond the edge 24 of the bag lugs 16.

Danach gelangen die Beutel 10 in den Bereich einer weiteren Umlegestation 50. Auch in der Umlegestation 50 ist wie in der Umlegestation 37 an einer Seite des Transportgurts 31 ein Schieber 39 sowie ein Niederhalter 41 angeordnet, die wie in der Umlegestation 37 eingesetzt werden. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Transportgurts 31 ist jedoch keine Führung 40 bzw. eine Andrückrolle 43 vorgesehen, sondern eine Kombination von zwei Formstücken 51, 52.Thereafter, the bags 10 reach the area of another transfer station 50. Also in the transfer station 50, as in the transfer station 37, a slide 39 and a hold-down 41 are arranged on one side of the transport belt 31, which are used as in the transfer station 37. On the opposite side of the transport belt 31, however, no guide 40 or a pressure roller 43 is provided, but a combination of two fittings 51, 52nd

Die beiden Formstücke 51, 52 sind an einer vertikalen Führung 53 verschieblich gelagert und unabhängig voneinander bewegbar. Hierzu dienen Schubstangen 54, die jeweils gelenkig einerseits an einem Gestell 55 und andererseits an den Formstücken 51, 52 gelagert sind. Die Formstücke 51, 52 verfügen jeweils über eine Kontaktfläche 56, wobei die beiden Kontaktflächen 56 zusammen etwa mit der Kontur des Beutels 10 korrespondieren.The two shaped pieces 51, 52 are mounted displaceably on a vertical guide 53 and movable independently of each other. For this purpose, push rods 54 serve, which are articulated on the one hand to a frame 55 and on the other hand to the fittings 51, 52 are mounted. The shaped pieces 51, 52 each have a contact surface 56, wherein the two contact surfaces 56 together correspond approximately to the contour of the bag 10.

Der Arbeitsablauf beim Umlegen des zweiten Abschnitts 25 der Banderole 21 ist dabei wie folgt:

  • Zunächst befinden sich beide Formstücke 51, 52 oberhalb des seitlich auskragenden zweiten Abschnitts 25 der Banderole 21 (Fig. 11).
  • Danach werden beide Formstücke 51, 52 abgesenkt, wobei eine hervorstehende Nase 80 des unteren Formstücks 52 den zweiten Abschnitt 25 der Bobine 21 mitnimmt. Die Formstücke 51, 52 werden soweit abgesenkt, dass sich die Kontaktflächen 56 auf Höhe der entsprechend gekrümmten Abschnitte der Oberseite und der Unterseite des Beutels 10 befinden (Fig. 12).
  • Danach wird wie in Fig. 13 gezeigt der Beutel 10 seitlich mittels des Schiebers 39 verschoben und gegen die Kontaktflächen 56 der Formstücke 51, 52 gedrückt, wodurch der zweite Abschnitt 25 der Banderole 21 am Beutel 10 befestigt wird.
  • Danach werden entsprechend Fig. 14 die Formstücke 51, 52 auseinanderbewegt, sodass der Beutel 10 mit der daran befestigten Banderole 21 in Transportrichtung des Transportgurts 31 abtransportiert werden kann.
  • Danach werden die beiden Formstücke 51, 52 in die Ausgangsstellung gemäß Fig. 11 bewegt, bevor der nächste Beutel 10 die Umlegestation 50 erreicht.
The procedure for transferring the second section 25 of the band 21 is as follows:
  • First, both shaped pieces 51, 52 are located above the laterally projecting second portion 25 of the band 21 (FIG. Fig. 11 ).
  • Thereafter, both fittings 51, 52 are lowered, with a protruding nose 80 of the lower mold 52, the second portion 25 of the reel 21 entrains. The fittings 51, 52 are lowered so far that the Contact surfaces 56 are located at the level of the corresponding curved portions of the top and the bottom of the bag 10 ( Fig. 12 ).
  • After that, as in Fig. 13 shown the bag 10 laterally displaced by the slider 39 and pressed against the contact surfaces 56 of the fittings 51, 52, whereby the second portion 25 of the band 21 is attached to the bag 10.
  • After that will be accordingly Fig. 14 the shaped pieces 51, 52 moved apart, so that the bag 10 can be removed with the banderole attached thereto 21 in the transport direction of the transport belt 31.
  • Thereafter, the two fittings 51, 52 in the starting position according to Fig. 11 moves before the next bag 10 reaches the folding station 50.

Damit das untere Formstück 52 zur Anlage im Bereich der Unterseite 10 des Beutels gebracht werden kann, ist der Transportgurt 31 im Arbeitsbereich des unteren Formstücks 52 mit einer Ausnehmung 57 versehen.Thus, the lower mold 52 can be brought to rest in the region of the bottom 10 of the bag, the conveyor belt 31 is provided in the working region of the lower mold 52 with a recess 57.

Wie Fig. 10 zeigt, sind jeweils zwei Formstücke 51, 52 vorgesehen, sodass wahlweise die Banderole 21 links oder rechts des Tapes 19 befestigt werden kann.How Fig. 10 shows, two fittings 51, 52 are provided so that either the band 21 left or right of the tape 19 can be attached.

Weiterhin ist es denkbar, dass beim Verfahrensschritt gemäß Fig. 13, also beim Andrücken des zweiten Abschnitts 25 der Banderole 21, die beiden Formstücke 51, 52 noch (geringfügig) gegeneinander bewegt werden, um die Banderole 21 insgesamt gegen den Beutel 10 zu pressen.Furthermore, it is conceivable that in the method step according to Fig. 13 , Thus, when pressing the second portion 25 of the banderole 21, the two fittings 51, 52 still (slightly) against each other to be pressed to press the banderole 21 in total against the bag 10.

Nach dem Anbringen der Banderole 21 werden die Beutel 10 wieder seitlich zurück auf den Transportgurt 31 geschoben, beispielsweise durch eine entsprechende Weiche oder seitlich verschwenkende Führungen.After attaching the banderole 21, the bag 10 are pushed back laterally onto the conveyor belt 31, for example, by a corresponding switch or laterally pivoting guides.

Eine Besonderheit des soweit beschriebenen Verfahrens besteht auch darin, dass der Transportgurt 31 taktweise angetrieben ist, wobei die beiden Umlegestationen 37, 50 während des (kurzzeitigen) Stillstands des Transportgurts 31 aktiv sind, während die beiden Auflegetrommeln 30, 48 das Tape 19 bzw. die Banderole 21 während des Transports des Transportgurts 31 auflegen.A special feature of the method described so far is also that the conveyor belt 31 is cyclically driven, wherein the two Umlegestationen 37, 50 during the (short-term) standstill of the transport belt 31 are active while the two Auflegetrommeln 30, 48 the tape 19 and Place banderole 21 during transportation of transport belt 31.

Zweites Ausführungsbeispiel:Second embodiment:

Das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel steht im Zusammenhang mit einem speziellen Beutelrevolver 58.The second embodiment is related to a special bag turret 58.

Demnach werden mehrere Beutel 10 im Bereich einer Übergabestation 16 gleichzeitig vom Umfang des Beutelrevolvers 58 abgenommen und einem Transportgurt 60 zugeführt, dort abgelegt und abtransportiert. Die Anbringung des Tapes 19 und der Banderole 21 erfolgt dabei wie nachfolgend beschrieben:
In der Übergabestation 59 ist ein drehend angetriebener Übergabeförderer 61 vorgesehen, der Halteköpfe 62 aufweist. Die Halteköpfe 62 verfügen jeweils über mehrere Saughalter 63, 64, 65. Je nach Anzahl der gleichzeitig zu handhabenden Beutel 10 ist eine entsprechende Anzahl von Halteköpfen 62 nebeneinander vorgesehen.Accordingly, several bags 10 are simultaneously removed in the region of a transfer station 16 from the periphery of the bag turret 58 and fed to a transport belt 60, stored there and transported away. The attachment of the tape 19 and the band 21 is carried out as described below:
In the transfer station 59, a rotationally driven transfer conveyor 61 is provided, the holding heads 62 has. The holding heads 62 each have a plurality of suction holders 63, 64, 65. Depending on the number of simultaneously to be handled bag 10, a corresponding number of holding heads 62 is provided side by side.

Mit Hilfe eines ersten Saughalters 63 wird jeweils ein Tape 19 vom Umfang eines oberhalb des Übergabeförderers 61 angeordneten Tapeförderers 66 abgenommen und mit einem ersten Abschnitt 23 in der bereits beschriebenen Art und Weise an der Beutellasche 16 eines Beutels 10 angebracht. Dabei werden der Beutel 10 durch die Saughalter 64, 65 ergriffen, nämlich gemäß Darstellung in Fig. 24. Gleichzeitig taucht wenigstens ein hakenförmiges Halteorgan 67 in den Revolver 58 ein und hintergreift einen Beutel 10 und drücken diesen gegen den Haltekopf 62 bzw. dessen Saughalter 64, 65 (Fig. 16).With the aid of a first suction holder 63, a tape 19 is removed in each case from the circumference of a tape conveyor 66 arranged above the transfer conveyor 61 and attached to the bag flap 16 of a bag 10 with a first section 23 in the manner already described. In this case, the bag 10 are gripped by the suction holder 64, 65, namely as shown in FIG Fig. 24 , At the same time, at least one hook-shaped holding member 67 enters the revolver 58 and engages behind a bag 10 and presses it against the holding head 62 or its suction holder 64, 65 (FIG. Fig. 16 ).

Im nächsten Arbeitsschritt wird der zweite Abschnitt 25 des Tapes 19 mittels einer Druckluftdüse 68 teilweise um die gedachte Beutelkante zwischen Vorderseite 17 und Rückseite 18 umgelegt.In the next step, the second portion 25 of the tape 19 by means of a compressed air nozzle 68 partially wrapped around the imaginary bag edge between the front 17 and back 18.

Die Druckluftdüse 68 ist im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel am Haltekopf 62 angeordnet, nämlich an einem Träger 69, an dem auch die Saughalter 63, 64, 65 angeordnet sind.The compressed-air nozzle 68 is arranged in the present embodiment on the holding head 62, namely on a support 69, on which the suction holders 63, 64, 65 are arranged.

Das teilweise Umlegen des zweiten Abschnitts 25 des Tapes 19 erfolgt während der Abholbewegung des Übergabeförderers 61, d.h. nach Entnahme der Beutel 10 vom Beutelrevolver 58 und vor der Übergabe der Beutel 10 an den Transportgurt 60 (Fig. 17). Im nächsten Arbeitsschritt wird mittels einer weiteren Druckluftdüse 70 der zweite Abschnitt 25 des Tapes 19 komplett umgelegt und am Beutel 10 angebracht.The partial folding over of the second section 25 of the tape 19 takes place during the picking-up movement of the transfer conveyor 61, ie after the removal of the bags 10 from the bag turret 58 and before the transfer of the bags 10 to the transport belt 60 (FIG. Fig. 17 ). In the next step, the second portion 25 of the tape 19 is completely folded over by means of a further compressed air nozzle 70 and attached to the bag 10.

Die zweite Druckluftdüse 70 ist nicht am Übergabeförderer 61 angeordnet, sondern an einem nicht dargestellten Schwenkmechanismus, derart, dass die Druckluftdüse 70 wie in Fig. 18 und 19 gezeigt entlang einer elliptischen Bahn 71 bewegt und dabei um einen Lagerpunkt geschwenkt werden. Auf diese Weise folgt die Druckluftdüse 70 der Bewegungsbahn des Beutels 10 am Haltekopf 62, sodass der zweite Abschnitt 25 des Tapes 19 allmählich entlang der Kontur des Beutels 10 mittels Druckluft angedrückt und somit am Beutel 10 angebracht wird.The second compressed air nozzle 70 is not disposed on the transfer conveyor 61, but on a pivot mechanism, not shown, such that the compressed air nozzle 70 as in Fig. 18 and 19 shown moved along an elliptical path 71 and thereby pivoted about a bearing point. In this way, the compressed air nozzle 70 follows the path of movement of the bag 10 on the holding head 62, so that the second portion 25 of the tape 19 is gradually pressed along the contour of the bag 10 by means of compressed air and thus attached to the bag 10.

Zur Übergabe der Beutel 10 werden die Halteorgane 67 zurückgeschwenkt und die Beutel 10 auf dem Transportgurt 60 abgelegt, wobei die Beutel 10 mit ihrer Längserstreckung in Förderrichtung weisend auf dem Transportgurt 60 liegen, derart, dass die Beutellasche 16 nach oben weist.To transfer the bag 10, the holding members 67 are pivoted back and the bag 10 placed on the conveyor belt 60, the bags 10 with their longitudinal extent in the conveying direction facing the conveyor belt 60 are such that the bag flap 16 facing upward.

Fig. 24 zeigt zum einen die Lage der Saughalter 63, 64, 65 am Beutel 10. Dabei greifen die Saughalter 64 beidseits des Tapes 19 im Bereich der Beutellasche 16 an. Die beiden Saughalter 65 sind mit etwas größerem Abstand zueinander in der Nähe einer gegenüberliegenden gedachten Beutelkante positioniert. In einem nicht gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel kann auch auf die Saughalter 64 verzichtet werden. Ferner zeigt Fig. 24 mittels einer Markierung 72 den ungefähren Angriffspunkt der Druckluftdüsen 68, 70. Fig. 24 shows, on the one hand, the position of the suction holders 63, 64, 65 on the bag 10. The suction holders 64 engage on both sides of the tape 19 in the area of the bag flap 16. The two suction holders 65 are positioned at a slightly greater distance from each other in the vicinity of an opposite imaginary bag edge. In an embodiment not shown can be dispensed with the suction holder 64. Further shows Fig. 24 by means of a marking 72 the approximate point of application of the compressed-air nozzles 68, 70.

Es versteht sich, dass nicht zwangsläufig zwei Druckluftdüsen 68, 70 zum Umlegen der zweiten Abschnitte 25 der Tapes 19 zum Einsatz kommen müssen. Es ist auch denkbar, dass dies nur mit Hilfe einer Druckluftdüse und/oder unter Zuhilfenahme eines weiteren Organs erfolgen kann.It is understood that not necessarily two compressed-air nozzles 68, 70 must be used for folding over the second portions 25 of the tapes 19. It is also conceivable that this can be done only with the aid of a compressed air nozzle and / or with the aid of another organ.

Während des weiteren Transports der Beutel 10 entlang des Transportgurts 60 wird in der an sich beschriebenen Weise als nächstes jeweils eine Banderole 21 an den Beuteln 10 angebracht. Das Auflegen der Banderolen 21 kann wie im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel mittels einer Auflegetrommel erfolgen.During further transport of the bags 10 along the transport belt 60, a band 21 is attached to the bags 10 in the manner described above next. The laying of the bands 21 can be done as in the first embodiment by means of a laying drum.

Zunächst wird auf jeden Beutel 10 eine Banderole 21 lediglich mit dem ersten Abschnitt 23 aufgelegt, während die Beutel 10 zwischen zwei Seitenführungen 73, 74 in Transportrichtung geführt werden. In Förderrichtung jeweils vorderseitig und rückseitig werden die Beutel 10 zwischen Mitnehmern 75 des Transportgurts 60 gehalten. Weiterhin liegen die Beutel 10 so auf dem Transportgurt 60, dass der Beutel 10 im Bereich der Unterseite frei liegt, zur Anbringung des zweiten Abschnitts 25 der Banderolen 21. Hierzu weist der Transportgurt 60 entsprechende Aussparungen 45 auf.First, a banderole 21 is placed on each bag 10 only with the first portion 23, while the bags 10 are guided between two side guides 73, 74 in the transport direction. In the conveying direction in each case front and back, the bag 10 between carriers 75 of the transport belt 60 are held. Furthermore, the bags are 10 on the conveyor belt 60 that the bag 10 is exposed in the region of the bottom, for attachment of the second portion 25 of the bands 21. For this purpose, the conveyor belt 60 corresponding recesses 45 on.

Nach dem Auflegen der Banderolen 21 gelangen die Beutel 10 in den Arbeitsbereich einer weiteren Umlegestation 76, in der der zweite Abschnitt 25 der Banderole 21 in bereits beschriebener Weise umgelegt und angebracht wird.After placing the banderoles 21, the bags 10 reach the working area of another transfer station 76, in which the second section 25 of the banderole 21 is folded over and attached in the manner already described.

Im Bereich der Umlegestation 76 werden die Beutel 10 von oben mittels einer Oberführung 77 gegen den Transportgurt 60 gedrückt, wobei die Beutellasche 16 in ihrer Lage fixiert wird. Ferner kommt ein Niederhalter 78 zum Einsatz, der im Bereich der Banderole 21 auf der Beutellasche 16 platziert wird, sowie ein Faltorgan 79 zum Umlegen und Andrücken des zweiten Abschnitts 25 der Banderole 21.In the area of the transfer station 76, the bags 10 are pressed from above by means of an upper guide 77 against the transport belt 60, wherein the bag flap 16 is fixed in its position. Further, a hold-down 78 is used, which is placed in the region of the banderole 21 on the bag flap 16, and a folding member 79 for folding and pressing the second portion 25 of the bandery 21st

Die Arbeitsweise des Faltorgans 79 ist vergleichbar mit der Arbeitsweise des Formstücks 52 im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel. Mittels einer Nase 80 wird der zweite Abschnitt 25 der Banderole 21 mitgenommen und nach unten bewegt. Dann wird durch Verschwenken des Faltorgans 79 eine gekrümmte Kontaktfläche 81 des Faltorgans 79 gegen die Kontur des Beutels 10 gelegt und der zweite Abschnitt 25 der Banderole 21 angedrückt und angebracht.The operation of the folding member 79 is comparable to the operation of the molding 52 in the first embodiment. By means of a nose 80, the second portion 25 of the band 21 is taken and moved down. Then, by pivoting the folding member 79, a curved contact surface 81 of the folding member 79 is placed against the contour of the bag 10 and the second portion 25 of the band 21 is pressed and attached.

Niederhalter 78 und Faltorgan 79 sind jeweils am Ende von Betätigungshebeln 82 angebracht, die miteinander gekoppelt und über ein nicht dargestellte Getriebe in der gezeigten Art und Weise bewegbar sind. Hierdurch entsteht eine überlagerte Bewegung von Niederhalter 78 und Faltorgan 79, derart, dass während der Niederhalter 78 auf den Beutel 10 aufgelegt wird, der zweite Abschnitt 25 der Banderole 21 durch das Faltorgan 79 zunächst nach unten gedrückt und danach der Kontur des Beutels 10 folgend gegen diesen gedrückt wird, bis in den Bereich der Unterseite des Beutels 10.Hold-down 78 and folding member 79 are respectively attached to the end of operating levers 82, which are coupled together and movable via a gear, not shown, in the manner shown. This results in a superimposed movement of hold-down 78 and folding member 79, such that while the hold-down 78 is placed on the bag 10, the second portion 25 of the sleeve 21 by the folding member 79 is first pressed down and then the contour of the bag 10 following against This is pressed into the region of the bottom of the bag 10th

Fig. 20 zeigt abschließend noch, dass die Seitenführung 74 im Arbeitsbereich des Niederhalters 78 bzw. des Faltorgans 79 unterbrochen ist. Im Anschluss an die Anbringung der Banderole 21 werden die soweit fertiggestellten Beutel 10 seitlich vom Transportgurt 60 abgeschoben. Fig. 20 Finally shows that the side guide 74 is interrupted in the working area of the blank holder 78 and the folding member 79. Following the attachment of the banderole 21, the bags 10 which have been completed so far are laterally removed from the transport belt 60.

Drittes Ausführungsbeispiel:Third embodiment:

In Fig. 25 bis 29 ist ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt, welches nicht Teil der Erfindung ist. Dabei kommt ein anderer Typ Beutel 10 zum Einsatz, nämlich ein sogenannter Seitenfaltbeutel. Dieser Typ Beutel 10 ist als solcher aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt.In Fig. 25 to 29 a third embodiment is shown, which is not part of the invention. In this case, another type of bag 10 is used, namely a so-called side-folding bag. This type of bag 10 is known as such from the prior art.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Beutel 10 jedoch mit einer längeren Beutellasche 16 versehen, die wie in den ersten beiden Ausführungsbeispielen mit einem ersten Abschnitt 23 an der Beutellasche 16 angebracht ist und mit einem zweiten Abschnitt 25 über einen Rand 24 der Beutellasche 16 hinausragt und der Kontur des Beutels 10 folgend an diesen angelegt und dadurch befestigt wird.In the present embodiment, however, the bag 10 is provided with a longer bag flap 16 which, as in the first two embodiments, is attached to the bag flap 16 with a first portion 23 and projects beyond a rim 24 of the bag flap 16 with a second portion 25 and contour following the bag 10 and attached thereto.

Trotz der geringfügig von den ersten beiden Ausführungsbeispielen abweichenden Konstruktion des Beutels 10 werden für übereinstimmende Elemente des Beutels 10 und der Vorrichtung die gleichen Bezugszeichen benutzt. Es werden nachfolgende auch nur die Aspekte und Merkmale beschrieben, in denen das dritte Ausführungsbeispiel von den beiden vorhergehenden Ausführungsbeispielen abweicht.Despite the slightly different construction of the bag 10 from the first two embodiments, the same reference numerals are used for matching elements of the bag 10 and the device. The following also describes only the aspects and features in which the third embodiment deviates from the two preceding embodiments.

Sowohl das Tape 19 und auch die Banderole 21 werden ausgehend von der Vorderseite 17 des Beutels im Bereich einer zwischen Vorderseite 17 und Rückseite 18 befindlichen Bodenseite 83 angebracht. Dies erfolgt gemäß Fig. 27 bis 29 während der Beutel 10 flach auf einem Transportgurt 31 liegt und die Vorderseite 17 zur Anbringung der ersten Abschnitte 23 von Tape 19 und Banderole 21 nach oben weist. Der Transportgurt 31 weist allerdings im vorliegenden Fall keine Ausnehmung 57 auf, da der Zuschnitt nicht bis in den Bereich der Unterseite des Beutels 10 gelegt werden müssen.Both the tape 19 and the band 21 are mounted starting from the front side 17 of the bag in the region of a bottom side 83 located between front side 17 and rear side 18. This is done according to Fig. 27 to 29 while the bag 10 lies flat on a conveyor belt 31 and the front 17 for attaching the first portions 23 of tape 19 and band 21 facing upward. However, in the present case, the transport belt 31 has no recess 57, since the blank does not have to be placed in the region of the underside of the bag 10.

Analog zu Fig. 6 bis 8 liegt der Beutel 10 an einer Seite an einem Schieber 39 an. Mit einem Niederhalter 41 wird die Beutellasche 16 in Position gehalten. Dabei wird ein Zuschnitt von oben aufgelegt (Fig. 27) und mittels eines Faltorgans 84 in den Bereich der im Wesentlichen ebenen Bodenseite 83 umgelegt. Dies erfolgt durch allmähliches Absenken des Faltorgans 84 (Fig. 28).Analogous to Fig. 6 to 8 the bag 10 abuts a slider 39 on one side. With a hold-down 41, the bag flap 16 is held in position. A blank is placed from above ( Fig. 27 ) and folded by means of a folding member 84 in the region of the substantially flat bottom side 83. This is done by gradually lowering the folding member 84 (FIG. Fig. 28 ).

Schließlich wird der Schieber 39 seitlich in Richtung des Faltorgans 84 bewegt, sodass der Beutel 10 bzw. dessen Bodenseite 83 gegen das Faltorgan 84 gedrückt und der Zuschnitt an der Bodenseite 83 vollflächig angebracht wird (Fig. 29). Das Faltorgan 84 übernimmt soweit auch einen Teil der Aufgaben der Führung 40 aus den ersten beiden Ausführungsbeispielen.Finally, the slider 39 is moved laterally in the direction of the folding member 84, so that the bag 10 or its bottom side 83 pressed against the folding member 84 and the blank on the bottom side 83 is attached over the entire surface ( Fig. 29 ). The folding member 84 takes over as far as part of the tasks of the guide 40 from the first two embodiments.

Die Abmessungen des Faltorgans 84 sind vorzugsweise so gewählt, dass die Zuschnitte im Bereich des zweiten Abschnitts 25 im Wesentlichen vollflächig am Faltorgan 84 anliegen können.The dimensions of the folding member 84 are preferably selected so that the blanks in the region of the second portion 25 can rest against the folding member 84 essentially over the whole area.

Es ist denkbar, dass sowohl das Tape 19 als auch die Banderole 21 in einem Schritt durch das selbe Faltorgan 84 an der Bodenseite 83 angebracht werden. Denkbar ist aber auch, dass wie in den ersten beiden Ausführungsbeispielen zunächst in einem ersten Schritt das Tape 19 und danach in einem zweiten Schritt die Banderole 21 am Beutel 10 angebracht wird.It is conceivable that both the tape 19 and the band 21 are attached in one step by the same folding member 84 on the bottom side 83. It is also conceivable that, as in the first two embodiments, first in a first step, the tape 19 and then in a second step, the banderole 21 is attached to the bag 10.

Allgemein ist zu allen Ausführungsbeispielen festzuhalten, dass die Methoden zur Anbringung des Tapes 19 einerseits und der Banderole 21 andererseits natürlich auch getauscht werden können. Grundsätzlich ist der Einsatz der gezeigten Technik auch im Zusammenhang mit anderen Typen von Verpackungsmaschinen möglich. Darüber hinaus können natürlich auch andere separate Zuschnitte als Tapes 19 oder Banderolen 21 an den Beuteln 10 angebracht werden, gegebenenfalls auch zusätzlich zu einem Tape 19 und/oder einer Banderole 21.Generally, it should be noted for all embodiments that the methods for attaching the tape 19 on the one hand and the band 21 on the other hand, of course, can also be exchanged. In principle, the use of the technique shown is also possible in connection with other types of packaging machines. In addition, of course, other separate blanks than tapes 19 or banderoles 21 are attached to the bags 10, possibly also in addition to a tape 19 and / or a band 21.
