Definitions
- This invention relates to wrapping a product with heat shrinkable film by pushing the product into a curtain of film while wrapping the article from a single roll and achieving print registration.
- the prior art shows in figure 1 an upper roll 4 having an upper film 5 bonded to a lower film 6 on lower roll 7 to create a film curtain.
- the upper film is usually a short piece of film.
- a portion of the bonded film rests on a bucket 2 attached to conveyor 3.
- a product 1 is placed on the film resting on the bucket 2.
- the bucket 3 is pushed into a curtain of film.
- the upper film does not move.
- the lower film is pulled over product to wrap the product with the movement of the bucket conveyor.
- a seal bar seals the film at the back of the article.
- the seal bar simultaneously cuts the film and seals the film together on both sides of the cut. This creates a new curtain and seals the film wrap around the article.
- the upper roll is pulled a few millimeters to allow an unsealed sealed surface for cutting and sealing the next product on the bucket conveyor.
- the films used in the prior art did not require print registration.
- the objective of this invention is to register the printed film using the film on a single roll on the product. This is achieved by using a sensor that can read a mark on the film in order to insure that a predetermined length of film is pulled off a roll and the printed portion of the film is in registration with the product.
- the marks on the film establish the amount of film needed to wrap the product.
- a sensor such as a photo sensor reads the mark and determines whether the proper length of the film has been pulled off the roll. When the amount of film pulled of the roll does not coincided with sensor reading, the distance between where the product stops and the sealing bar is varied. This allows the length of the film to be adjusted until the sensor readings and the length of the film coincides.
- the print When the length of the film and sensor readings coincides the print will be properly registered with the product position of the product. If the sensor reads the mark too soon the product will stop closer to the sealing bar. If the sensor reading is late, the product is stopped further away from the sealing bar. After wrapping, the product is sent though a conventional heat shrinkable tunnel that heat shrinks the film.
- An objective of the invention is using a pusher plate to push the product from one dead plate through the curtain of film to another dead plate.
- Another objective of this invention is to use a conveyor to push the product through the curtain of film onto a transfer belt
- FIGS 2 and 3 show an upper roll film 10.
- the lower roll film is usually has a short waste heat shrinkable film that is sealed to the upper roll film.
- a pusher 11 pushes the product 12 resting on dead plate 13 through the curtain onto a dead plate 14 .
- the lower film is held in a substantially fixed position while the upper film wraps the product. Substantially fixed would allow a small amount of the film to move when the product is pushed.
- the preferred mode is to keep the film from moving.
- the sealing bar 8 seals and cuts the film so that a new curtain is created for the next product.
- the lower film roller pulls the film from the upper roll a few millimeters to allow for an unsealed sealed surface for cutting and sealing the next product on the dead plate.
- the lower film can be held stationary using pinch rollers. The position of upper roll film and the lower roll film can be interchanged.
- the length of the stroke is controlled by a sensor reading registration marks on the film. This is done by entering the length and width of the product in a computer. This will allow the computer to establish a minimum stroke which is smaller than the stroke needed from the pitch of the registration marks.
- a photo sensor reads the registration marks. If the registration mark is not read before the end of the stroke, the stroke of the pusher will be gradually increased until the registration mark coincides with the stroke of the pusher. If the registered mark is read before the end of the stroke, the stroke will be gradually decreased until the registration mark coincided with the stroke of the pusher.
- the stroke adjusts the position of the product with respect to the sealing bar thereby changing the length of the film used for wrapping. Tension of the film can be controlled by increasing the amount of film pulled by the lower waste film roller.
- Figure 4 shows product 12 on a conveyor being pushed on to conveyor 15 through a curtain of film 16 onto transfer belt.
- Lower film roll 17 is held in a stationary position while upper film roll allows the film to wrap the product.
- the film from the lower film roll is held under a tension by a dancing bar.
- the dancing bar moves to allow more slack so that the film from the lower roll moves under the product.
- the dancing bar moves to its original position. During the wrapping the length of film from the lower roll does not have to change during wrapping
- the photo sensor 9 reads a mark on the film that locates the position of the print registration. The sensing of the mark determines the where the product stops on the transfer belt before the sealing bar seals and cuts the curtain of film.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to wrapping a product with heat shrinkable film by pushing the product into a curtain of film while wrapping the article from a single roll and achieving print registration.
- The prior art shows in
figure 1 an upper roll 4 having an upper film 5 bonded to a lower film 6 onlower roll 7 to create a film curtain. The upper film is usually a short piece of film. A portion of the bonded film rests on abucket 2 attached toconveyor 3. Aproduct 1 is placed on the film resting on thebucket 2. Thebucket 3 is pushed into a curtain of film. The upper film does not move. The lower film is pulled over product to wrap the product with the movement of the bucket conveyor. - After the film covers the product a seal bar seals the film at the back of the article. The seal bar simultaneously cuts the film and seals the film together on both sides of the cut. This creates a new curtain and seals the film wrap around the article. After sealing, the upper roll is pulled a few millimeters to allow an unsealed sealed surface for cutting and sealing the next product on the bucket conveyor. The films used in the prior art did not require print registration.
- The objective of this invention is to register the printed film using the film on a single roll on the product. This is achieved by using a sensor that can read a mark on the film in order to insure that a predetermined length of film is pulled off a roll and the printed portion of the film is in registration with the product. The marks on the film establish the amount of film needed to wrap the product. A sensor such as a photo sensor reads the mark and determines whether the proper length of the film has been pulled off the roll. When the amount of film pulled of the roll does not coincided with sensor reading, the distance between where the product stops and the sealing bar is varied. This allows the length of the film to be adjusted until the sensor readings and the length of the film coincides. When the length of the film and sensor readings coincides the print will be properly registered with the product position of the product. If the sensor reads the mark too soon the product will stop closer to the sealing bar. If the sensor reading is late, the product is stopped further away from the sealing bar. After wrapping, the product is sent though a conventional heat shrinkable tunnel that heat shrinks the film.
- An objective of the invention is using a pusher plate to push the product from one dead plate through the curtain of film to another dead plate. Another objective of this invention is to use a conveyor to push the product through the curtain of film onto a transfer belt

-
Figure 1 shows wrapping with a single roll without print registration. -
Figures 2 and 3 shows print registration using a pusher plate -
Figure 4 shows pushing a product into a film curtain using a conveyor. -
Figures 2 and 3 show anupper roll film 10. The lower roll film is usually has a short waste heat shrinkable film that is sealed to the upper roll film. Apusher 11 pushes theproduct 12 resting ondead plate 13 through the curtain onto adead plate 14 . The lower film is held in a substantially fixed position while the upper film wraps the product. Substantially fixed would allow a small amount of the film to move when the product is pushed. The preferred mode is to keep the film from moving. Thesealing bar 8 seals and cuts the film so that a new curtain is created for the next product. Afterward the lower film roller pulls the film from the upper roll a few millimeters to allow for an unsealed sealed surface for cutting and sealing the next product on the dead plate. The lower film can be held stationary using pinch rollers. The position of upper roll film and the lower roll film can be interchanged. - To insure that the stroke of the pusher unwinds a predetermined length of film that coincides with the registration marks on the film, the length of the stroke is controlled by a sensor reading registration marks on the film. This is done by entering the length and width of the product in a computer. This will allow the computer to establish a minimum stroke which is smaller than the stroke needed from the pitch of the registration marks. When the machine is running a photo sensor reads the registration marks. If the registration mark is not read before the end of the stroke, the stroke of the pusher will be gradually increased until the registration mark coincides with the stroke of the pusher. If the registered mark is read before the end of the stroke, the stroke will be gradually decreased until the registration mark coincided with the stroke of the pusher. The stroke adjusts the position of the product with respect to the sealing bar thereby changing the length of the film used for wrapping. Tension of the film can be controlled by increasing the amount of film pulled by the lower waste film roller.

Figure 4 showsproduct 12 on a conveyor being pushed on toconveyor 15 through a curtain offilm 16 onto transfer belt. Lower film roll 17 is held in a stationary position while upper film roll allows the film to wrap the product. The film from the lower film roll is held under a tension by a dancing bar. As the product moves onto the transfer conveyor the dancing bar moves to allow more slack so that the film from the lower roll moves under the product. After sealing, the dancing bar moves to its original position. During the wrapping the length of film from the lower roll does not have to change during wrapping - The
photo sensor 9 reads a mark on the film that locates the position of the print registration. The sensing of the mark determines the where the product stops on the transfer belt before the sealing bar seals and cuts the curtain of film. If the sensor reading is to soon the product on the transfer belt will stops closer to the sealing bar. If the sensor reading is late, the product will stop further away from the sealing bar.
