Description
- The invention relates to a sheet product wrapping apparatus in which sheet products are wrapped with a wrapper after being stacked.
- Each of Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No.
S62-244,864 H05-43,479 - Japanese Patent Publication No.
H07-67,927 - In this case, some of the plastic bags may be slack or folded due to static electricity or air entrapment when the plastic bags are stacked with each other after being discharged. And sometimes, the plastic bags are wrapped as they are being slack or folded. It is strongly desired to overcome this problem.
- Sheet products other than the plastic bags can be stacked with each other and then wrapped with the wrapper in the apparatus. However, some of the sheet products may be slack or folded in the same way when the sheet products are stacked with each other.
- It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a sheet product wrapping apparatus in which sheet products are wrapped without being slack or folded after being stacked.
- According to the invention, the apparatus includes a clamp lever by which sheet products are clamped near one edges thereof after being stacked. The clamp lever is rotated at an angle of 180° about a horizontal shaft extending parallel to the one edges so that the sheet products are swung and turned over by the clamp lever above the horizontal shaft. The apparatus further includes a horizontal member by which the sheet products are received and supported after being swung and turned over. A press bar extends parallel to the horizontal shaft. The press bar is pressed against the sheet products and then moved along the sheet products away from the clamp lever on the horizontal member. The sheet products are therefore pushed and smoothed out by the press bar. The sheet products are wrapped with a wrapper after being smoothed out.
- In a preferred embodiment, a vertical member is disposed above the horizontal member. The sheet products are engaged with the vertical member at the other edges thereof after being swung and turned over. The press bar is moved along the sheet products to pass between the vertical member and the horizontal member so that the sheet products are guided by the vertical member to be folded by the press bar. The sheet products are wrapped with the wrapper after being folded.
- The sheet products have a length, the press bar being moved to the other ends of the sheet products so that the sheet products are smoothed out throughout the length. The sheet products are then wrapped with the wrapper.
- The clamp lever is spaced from a discharge position from which the sheet products are discharged. A stopper and a receiver are interposed between the clamp lever and the discharge position. The sheet products are discharged successively and engaged with the stopper at one edges thereof to be stacked on the receiver. The sheet products are then clamped by the clamp lever. The clamp lever is rotated to opposite side of the discharge position. The sheet products are swung to and turned over on the opposite side of the discharge position.

- Turning now to the drawings,
Fig. 1 illustrates a sheet product wrapping apparatus according to the invention. The apparatus is a plastic bag wrapping apparatus incorporated into a machine successively makingplastic bags 1. The machine has the same structure as that of Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No.S62-244,864 H05-43,479 plastic bags 1. Theplastic bags 1 are discharged successively after being made. For example, theplastic bags 1 are discharged fromstacker belts 2. In addition, theplastic bags 1 are stacked with each other and then wrapped by the apparatus. It should therefore be understood that sheet products are wrapped by the apparatus. The sheet products comprise theplastic bags 1. - The apparatus includes a
clamp lever 3 by which theplastic bags 1 are clamped near one edges thereof after being stacked. Theclamp lever 3 includesclamp teeth 4 to clamp theplastic bags 1, theclamp lever 3 being supported by ahorizontal shaft 5 for rotation about thehorizontal shaft 5. Thehorizontal shaft 5 extends parallel to the one edges of theplastic bags 1. Theclamp lever 3 extend vertically to have upper and lower ends, theclamp teeth 4 being positioned at the upper end while thehorizontal shaft 5 is positioned at the lower end (Fig. 1A ). Theclamp lever 3 is rotated at an angle of 180° about thehorizontal shaft 5 extending parallel to the one edges so that theplastic bags 1 are swung and turned over by theclamp lever 3 above thehorizontal shaft 5. Theclamp lever 3 is rotated at high speed in a direction X so that theplastic bags 1 are swung at high speed. Theclamp lever 3 is rotated at the angle of 180° to merely take a time of less than a second. As a result, theplastic bags 1 are subject to inertia force F1 and centrifugal force F2 when being swung so that resultant force F3 acts longitudinally of the plastic bags 1 (Fig. 1B ). - The
clamp lever 3 is spaced from a discharge position from which theplastic bags 1 are discharged. Astopper 6 and areceiver 7 are interposed between theclamp lever 3 and the discharge position. Theplastic bags 1 are discharged successively and engaged with thestopper 6 at one edges thereof to be expelled successively and struck against thestopper 6. The discharge position is formed by thestacker belt 2. Thestopper 6 extends vertically while thereceiver 7 extends horizontally, between theclamp lever 3 and the discharge position. Theplastic bags 1 therefore fall along thestopper 6 after being struck, to be stacked on thereceiver 7. Theplastic bags 1 are then clamped by theclamp lever 3, theclamp lever 3 being rotated to the opposite side of the discharge position so that theplastic bags 1 are swung to and turned over on the opposite side of the discharge position. - In the embodiment, the
stopper 6 comprises aplate including slots 8 formed therein. Thereceiver 7 also comprises aplate including slots 9 formed therein. Theclamp lever 3 is provided with aholder 10 and fixed to thehorizontal shaft 5. Theholder 10 extends horizontally and parallel to thehorizontal shaft 5 to be cantilevered. In addition, two pairs ofteeth 4 are held on theholder 10. The apparatus includes a clamp lever drive 11 comprising an actuator such as a motor, which is connected to thehorizontal shaft 5. Thehorizontal shaft 5 is rotated by theclamp lever drive 11 when theplastic bags 1 are clamped after being stacked, so that theclamp lever 3 is rotated clockwise about thehorizontal shaft 5 to advance theclamp teeth 4 toward theplastic bags 1 through theslots 8. Theholder 10 is provided with a clamp teeth drive by which theclamp teeth 4 are closed after advancing so that theplastic bags 1 are clamped by theclamp teeth 4 at positions of slots 9 (Fig. 1C ). - The apparatus further includes a
stopper drive 12 comprising an actuator such as a cylinder, which is connected to thestopper 6 so that thestopper 6 is pulled down and lowered by thestopper drive 12 after theplastic bags 1 are clamped. Thehorizontal shaft 5 is then rotated by the clamp lever drive 11 so that theclamp lever 3 is rotated counterclockwise about thehorizontal shaft 5. It should therefore be understood that theplastic bags 1 are swung and turned over by theclamp lever 3 above thehorizontal shaft 5. Theclamp lever 3 is rotated to the opposite side of the discharge position so that theplastic bags 1 are swung to and turned over on the opposite side of the discharge position. Thestopper 6 is then pushed up and raised by thestopper drive 12. - The apparatus further includes a
horizontal member 13 by which theplastic bags 1 are received and supported after being swung and turned over, as shown inFig. 2 . Thehorizontal member 13 comprises a plate extending horizontally. Apress bar 14 extends parallel to thehorizontal shaft 5. Thepress bar 14 is pressed against theplastic bags 1 and then moved along theplastic bags 1 away from theclamp lever 3 on thehorizontal member 13. For example, the apparatus includes abar drive 15 comprising an actuator such as a cylinder, thepress bar 14 being connected to and supported by thebar drive 15. Thepress bar 14 is actuated by thebar drive 15 to be pressed against theplastic bags 1 and then moved along theplastic bags 1 after theplastic bags 1 are swung and turned over. Theplastic bags 1 are therefore pushed and smoothed out by the press bar 14 (Fig. 2A ). - In addition, a
vertical member 16 is disposed above thehorizontal member 13. Thevertical member 16 comprises a plate extending vertically. Theplastic bags 1 are engaged with thevertical member 16 at the other edges thereof after being swung and turned over. Thepress bar 14 is moved along theplastic bags 1 to pass between thevertical member 16 and thehorizontal member 13 so that theplastic bags 1 are guided by thevertical member 16 to be folded by thepress bar 14. Theplastic bags 1 are wrapped with a wrapper after being smoothed out and folded. - In the embodiment, the wrapper comprises a
plastic film 17. Theplastic film 17 is supplied from asupply roll 18 to extend vertically and pass throughguide rollers feed rollers 21. Theplastic film 17 is then directed to and taken up about a take uproll 22. Theclamp teeth 4 are opened by the clamp teeth drive so that theplastic bags 1 are released from theclamp teeth 4 and pushed and moved by thepress bar 14 after being folded (Fig. 2B ). Theplastic bags 1 are therefore fed toward and across theplastic film 17 between theguide rollers plastic film 17, as shown inFig. 3 . In addition,fingers 23 are disposed on the opposite side of theplastic bags 1 fed across theplastic film 17. Thefingers 23 are connected to and supported by afinger drive 24 comprising an actuator such as a cylinder. Thefingers 23 are closed by thefinger drive 24 after theplastic bags 1 are covered with theplastic film 17 so that theplastic film 17 and theplastic bags 1 are gripped by the fingers 23 (Fig. 3A ). - Subsequently, the
press bar 14 is actuated by thepress bar drive 15 to be moved longitudinally thereof and pulled out from theplastic bags 1. Thefingers 23 is then moved by thefinger drive 24 so that theplastic film 17 and theplastic bags 1 are pulled and moved by thefingers 23. Theplastic film 17 is guided by theguide rollers plastic bags 1 are surrounded by the plastic film 17 (Fig. 3B ). In addition, thepress bar 14 is moved by thepress bar drive 15 to be returned to the original position. Theplastic film 17 is sandwiched and heated by aheat cutter 25 after theplastic bags 1 are surrounded by theplastic film 17, to be heat cut widthwise thereof by theheat cutter 25. Furthermore, theplastic film 17 is sandwiched between and heated and side sealed by side seal bars 26 so that theplastic bags 1 are wrapped with theplastic film 17. - The
plastic film 17 and theplastic bags 1 are then moved by thefingers 23 to be put on aconveyor 27, as shown inFig. 4 , and fed by the conveyor (Fig. 4A ). Theplastic film 17 is fed by thefeed rollers 21 and taken up about the take uproll 22. Theplastic film 17 may be taken up by a small amount. - The
clamp lever 3 is rotated by the clamp lever drive 11 to advance theclamp teeth 4 toward theplastic bags 1 again, after theplastic bags 1 are stacked on thereceiver 7. Theclamp teeth 4 are then closed by the clamp teeth drive so that theplastic bags 1 are clamped by theclamp teeth 4. Thestopper 6 is lowered by thestopper drive 12, theclamp lever 3 being rotated by the clamp lever drive 11 so that theplastic bags 1 are swung and turned over. The same steps are then performed repeatedly. - It should therefore be understood that in the apparatus, the
plastic bags 1 are discharged successively and engaged with and struck against thestopper 6 at the one edges thereof. Theplastic bags 1 are then fall along thestopper 6 to be stacked on thereceiver 7. Theplastic bags 1 are therefore stacked to have the one edges aligned with each other. - Subsequently, the
plastic bags 1 are clamped near the one edges thereof by theclamp lever 3. Theplastic bags 1 are then swung and turned over by theclamp lever 3. Theplastic bags 1 are then pushed and smoothed out by thepress bar 14 and wrapped with theplastic film 1. - Accordingly, the apparatus has no problem even if some of the
plastic bags 1 are slack or folded due to static electricity or air entrapment when theplastic bags 1 are stacked with each other after being discharged. Theplastic bags 1 are subject to the inertia force F1 and the centrifugal force F2 when being swung so that the resultant force F3 acts longitudinally of theplastic bags 1. Theplastic bags 1 are therefore pulled and smoothed out by the resultant force F3. In addition, theplastic bags 1 are pushed and smoothed out by thepress bar 14 after being turned over. Theplastic bags 1 are then wrapped as they are. Theplastic bags 1 cannot be wrapped in the state of being slack or folded. - The
plastic bags 1 are not necessarily folded by thepress bar 14 and wrapped as they are. Theclamp teeth 4 may be kept being closed while thepress bar 14 is moved along theplastic bags 1. Theplastic bags 1 have a length, thepress bar 14 being moved to the other edges of theplastic bags 1 so that theplastic bags 1 are smoothed out throughout the length. In this case, theplastic bags 1 are not folded by thepress bar 14. Theplastic film 17 and theplastic bags 1 are then gripped by thefingers 23. Theclamp teeth 4 are opened by the clamp teeth drive so that theplastic bags 1 are released from theclamp teeth 4. Theplastic film 17 and theplastic bags 1 are then pulled and moved by thefingers 23 so that theplastic bags 1 are surrounded by theplastic film 17. In addition, theplastic film 17 is heat cut and side sealed by theheat cutter 25 and side seal bars 26 so that theplastic bags 1 are wrapped with theplastic film 17. - As to the
clamp teeth 4 and thehorizontal shaft 5 positioned at the upper and lower ends of theclamp lever 3, theclamp teeth 4 may be positioned at the lower end of theclaim lever 3 while thehorizontal shaft 5 is positioned at the upper end of the clamp lever 3 (Fig. 4B ). Theclamp lever 3 is rotated at an angle of 180° about thehorizontal shaft 5 so that theplastic bags 1 are swung and turned over by theclamp lever 3 about thehorizontal shaft 5. - Sheet products other than the
plastic bags 1 can be wrapped in the apparatus after being discharged successively and stacked with each other. The sheet products may be wrapped with a wrapper other than theplastic film 17. -
