Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wrapping method and to a packer machine to fold a wrapper around a group of tobacco articles.
  • the present invention finds advantageous application in the folding of a heat-sealable wrapper around a parallelepiped group of cigarettes to make a sealed wrap, to which the following description will make explicit reference without implying any loss of generality.
  • a central portion of the wrapper is brought in contact with an upper wall of the group of cigarettes, and then the wrapper is folded in a "U" shape around the transverse edges of the upper wall to lay on the larger lateral walls of the group of cigarettes.
  • the wrapper is not perfectly centered both longitudinally (i.e. with respect to the upper wall and to the lower wall of the group of cigarettes) and transversely (i.e. with respect to the larger lateral walls of the group of cigarettes).
  • the pull-out opening (overlaid by the reusable closing tab) is not in the desired position and above all the tails of the wrapper in the area of the lower wall of the group of cigarettes are asymmetrical (i.e. one being longer and one being shorter than necessary) making it complicated (if not impossible) to obtain good closure (thus a tight seal) of the inner wrap in the area of the lower wall.
  • the lateral flaps of the wrapper are asymmetrical (i.e. one being longer and one being shorter than necessary) making it complicated (if not impossible) to obtain good closure (thus a tight seal) of the inner wrap in the area of the lateral wall.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a packing method and a packer machine to fold a wrapper around a group of tobacco articles, which wrapping method and packer machine are free from the drawbacks described above and are, at the same time, easy and inexpensive to produce.
  • a packing method and a packer machine to fold a wrapper around a group of tobacco articles are provided, as claimed in the attached claims.
  • Figure 1 denotes as a whole a sealed wrap for cigarettes for example of the type described in Patent US4300676A1 .
  • the wrap 1 for cigarettes holds a parallelepiped-shaped group 2 of cigarettes having an upper wall 3 and a lower wall 4 that are formed by the tips of the cigarettes and are parallel and opposite to one another, two larger lateral walls 5 that are formed by the cylindrical lateral walls of the cigarettes and are parallel and opposite to one another, and two smaller lateral walls 6 which are formed by the cylindrical lateral walls of the cigarettes and are parallel and opposite to one another.
  • the wrap 1 has at the top and in front a cigarette pull-out opening 7 (visible in Figure 34), which is delimited by a pre-weakened tear line, it is closed by a reusable closing tab 8 and involves a portion of a front wall of the wrap 1 and a portion of an upper wall of the wrap 1.
  • the closing tab 8 is fixed to the wrap 1 for cigarettes by means of a repositionable adhesive that does not dry, which is applied to the bottom surface of the closing tab 8 and is arranged all around the pull-out opening 7 to allow the closing tab 8 to be partially separated from the wrap 1 for several times and then be fixed again to the wrap 1.
  • the wrap 1 is made by folding a wrapper 9 of rectangular shape (illustrated in Figure 4 ) around the group 2 of cigarettes (illustrated in Figure 2 ). Before folding the wrapper 9 around group 2 of cigarettes, the wrapper 9 itself is centrally precut to define the pull-out opening 7; subsequently, to the wrapper 9 the closing tab 8 with rubberized bottom is applied, that is, provided with the repositionable adhesive at the bottom surface thereof which, inside the pull-out opening 7, determines the permanent gluing of the inner portion of the wrapper 9 to the closing tab 8 and outside of the pull-out opening 7 determines a separable gluing of the wrapper 9 to the closing tab 8
  • the wrap 1 may comprise a stiffener 10, which is made of cardboard or rigid paperboard, is "U"-shaped and is arranged inside the wrap 1 contacting the group 2 of cigarettes.
  • the function of the stiffener 10 is to confer greater rigidity and greater shape stability to the wrap 1 so as to prevent the wrap 1 itself from collapsing on itself after removing a part of the cigarettes contained inside the wrap 1 making the pulling-out of the remaining cigarettes complicated and, in particular, making the opening and the subsequent closing of the closing tab 8 extremely complicated.
  • An additional function of the stiffener 10 is to provide a mechanical protection for the cigarettes during the folding of the wrapper 9, a mechanical and thermal protection for the cigarettes when the superimposed portions of the wrapper 9 are heat sealed, and a mechanical protection for the cigarettes during handling of the wrap 1.
  • number 11 denotes as a whole a packer machine which is adapted to obtain the wrap 1 described above.
  • packer machine 11 may comprise only the components illustrated in figure 5 (in this case each wrap 1 described above is a finished and directly marketable product); alternatively, the packer machine 11 may comprise further components of known type to wrap around each wrap 1 a respective outer casing, which encloses the wrap 1 and may be formed by a cup-shaped outer wrapper folded around the wrap 1 (soft type packet of cigarettes), or it can be formed by a rigid box with hinged-lid obtained by folding a rigid blank around the wrap 1 (rigid type packet of cigarettes).
  • the packer machine 11 comprises a forming unit 12 where the groups 2 of cigarettes are obtained in succession, a preliminary folding unit 13 where around each group 2 of cigarettes a corresponding wrapper 9 is folded in a "U" shape, a longitudinal folding unit 14 where each wrapper 9 is longitudinally folded in the area of the smaller lateral walls 6 of the respective group 2 of cigarettes, and a transverse folding unit 15 where each wrapper 9 is transversely folded in the area of the lower wall 4 of the respective group 2 of cigarettes.
  • the packer machine 11 comprises a wrapping conveyor 16, which comprises a plurality of pockets 17 which are adapted to house corresponding groups 2 of cigarettes and are step-fed (that is, with a law of motion which cyclically alternates a movement step and a rest step) along a wrapping path P1 passing through the forming unit 12 and the preliminary folding unit 13.
  • the pockets 17 project from the wrapping conveyor 16, i.e. each pocket 17 is fixed to the wrapping conveyor 16 only in the area of a first end and a second end opposite the first end is free from constraints to the wrapping conveyor 16 and relatively far from the same wrapping conveyor 16.
  • the wrapping conveyor 16 comprises a belt, which is wound around end pulleys (one of which is powered) and moves by step along a path closed in a loop; alternatively, the wrapping conveyor 16 comprises a wheel mounted in rotatable manner around a central rotation axis.
  • the forming unit 12 of the groups 2 of cigarettes comprises a hopper 18 provided with three outlets for simultaneously feeding three groups 2 of cigarettes to respective pockets 17 of the wrapping conveyor 16 advancing by step along straight wrapping path P1.
  • the preliminary folding unit 13 is arranged along the wrapping conveyor 16 (i.e. along the wrapping path P1) downstream of the forming unit 12. As better illustrated in Figure 6 , in the preliminary folding unit 13 each group 2 of cigarettes carried by a pocket 17 is coupled to the corresponding outspread wrapper 9, by laying a lateral part of the wrapper 9 on a first larger lateral wall 5a of the group 2 of cigarettes; subsequently, the wrapper 9 is folded in a "U" shape around the corresponding group 2 of cigarettes so as to form a "U"-shaped wrap 1 having two open lateral ends 19 that display the corresponding smaller lateral walls 6 of the group 2 of cigarettes.
  • the wrapper 9 is folded by 90° around a first transverse corner of the group 2 of cigarettes, defined between the first larger lateral wall 5a and the upper wall 3, in order to lay the wrapper 9 on the upper wall 3 thereby giving to the wrapper 9 an "L" shape (at least in the area of the first transverse corner of the group 2 of cigarettes); subsequently, the wrapper 9 is folded by (about) 90° around a second transverse corner of the group 2 of cigarettes, defined between a second larger lateral wall 5b (opposite to the first larger lateral wall 5a) and the upper wall 3, in order to lay the wrapper 9 on the second larger lateral wall 5b (or, alternatively, so as to bring the wrapper 9 closer to the second larger lateral wall 5b) thereby giving to the wrapper 9 a "U" shape.
  • the wrapper 9 in the preliminary folding unit 13 the wrapper 9 is folded around the first transverse corner of the group 2 of cigarettes, defined between the second larger lateral wall 5b and the upper wall 3, in order to lay the wrapper 9 on the second larger lateral wall 5b from the outset or, in order to bring the wrapper 9 closer to the second larger lateral wall 5b (as illustrated in the attached figures); in the latter case, the wrapper 9 is further folded around the second transverse corner of the group 2 of cigarettes, defined between the second larger lateral wall 5b and the upper wall 3, in order to lay the wrapper 9 on the second larger lateral wall 5b when the group 2 of cigarettes leaves the corresponding pocket 17 of the wrapping conveyor 16 together with the wrapper 9.
  • the longitudinal folding unit 14 comprises a longitudinal wrapping conveyor 20, which receives in succession the wraps 1 (each consisting of a wrapper 9 folded in a "U" shape around a corresponding group 2 of cigarettes) from the wrapping conveyor 16 in a transfer station S1 and feeds in succession the wraps 1 along a longitudinal folding path P2 that is straight and is arranged perpendicular to the wrapping path P1.
  • the groups 2 of cigarettes are fed transversely (i.e. the cigarettes are arranged perpendicular to the wrapping path P1), while along the wrapping conveyor 20 the groups 2 of cigarettes are fed longitudinally (i.e. the cigarettes are arranged parallel to the wrapping path P2).
  • the longitudinal folding unit 14 comprises on each side of the longitudinal folding path P2 a central fixed folder of a known type which fold one lateral open end 16 of the wrap 1 to form a longitudinal fin 21 arranged perpendicular to an underlying smaller lateral wall 6 of the group 2 of cigarettes.
  • the longitudinal folding unit 14 comprises a welding device of known type which on each side of the wrap 1 welds the longitudinal fin 21 to stabilize the longitudinal fin 21 itself.
  • the longitudinal folding unit 14 comprises a folding device (of known type and normally comprising fixed folding profiles), which is located downstream of the welding device on opposite sides of the longitudinal folding path P2 to fold by 90° each longitudinal fin 21, in order to lay the longitudinal fin 21 on the wrap 1 (i.e. to make the longitudinal fin 25 parallel to an underlying smaller lateral wall 6 of the group 2 of cigarettes).
  • the wrapping conveyor 20 is straight and has pushers which feed the wraps 1 through a fixed folding tunnel; alternatively, the wrapping conveyor 16 comprises a wheel mounted in a rotatable manner around a central rotation axis.
  • each wrap 1 has a lower open end 22, which displays the lower wall 4 of group 2 of cigarettes.
  • the transverse folding unit 15 comprises a transverse wrapping conveyor 23 (known and not illustrated), which receives in succession the wraps 1 (each consisting of a wrapper 9 folded into a tube around a corresponding group 2 of cigarettes) from the longitudinal wrapping conveyor 19 in a transfer station S2 and advances along a transverse folding path P3 which is circular and is located perpendicularly to the longitudinal folding path P2.
  • the groups 2 of cigarettes are fed longitudinally (i.e. the cigarettes are arranged parallel to the longitudinal folding path P2), whereas along the transverse folding path P3 the groups 2 of cigarettes are fed transversely (i.e. the cigarettes are arranged perpendicularly to the transverse folding path P3).
  • the wrapping conveyor 23 comprises a wheel mounted in a rotatable manner around a central rotation axis; alternatively, the wrapping conveyor 23 is straight.
  • the transverse folding unit 15 comprises on one side of the transverse folding path P3 only, folders, which fold, in the area of the lower open end 22 of the wrap 1, each wrapper 9 to form a transverse fin 24 arranged perpendicularly to an underlying lower wall 4 of the group 2 of cigarettes.
  • the transverse folding unit 15 comprises a welding device of known type that welds the transverse fin 24 to stabilize the transverse fin 24 itself.
  • the transverse folding unit 15 comprises a folding device (of known type and normally comprising fixed folding profiles), which is located downstream of the welding device to fold by 90° the transverse fin 24, in order to lay the transverse fin 24 itself on the wrap 1 (i.e. to make the 24 transverse fin parallel to the underlying lower wall 4 of the group 2 of cigarettes).
  • the preliminary folding unit 13 comprises a feeding conveyor 25, which feeds in succession the wrappers 9 along a straight feeding path P4; by way of example, the feeding conveyor 25 comprises two conveyor belts which are closed in a loop, are located on opposite ends of the wrappers 9, and hold the wrappers 9 by sucking.
  • the feeding path P4 has a section parallel and laterally adjacent to the wrapping path P1 in the area of a feeding station S3 in which each wrapper 9 is transferred from the feeding conveyor 25 to a pocket 17 of the wrapping conveyor 16 to be coupled, as previously described, to a corresponding group 2 of cigarettes.
  • a folding device 26 is coupled, which folds the wrapper 9 in a "U" shape around the group 2 of cigarettes as described previously.
  • the folding device 26 comprises a single folding element 27, which, on the whole, carries out a rotation of 180° to perform the "U" folding of the wrapper 9 around the group 2 of cigarettes and is moved by an articulated quadrilateral (which imparts a rotational translation to the folding element 27).
  • the folding device 26 can be located in the area of the feeding station S3 or can be located (immediately) downstream of the feeding station S3.
  • each pocket 17 is provided with sucking elements, which hold by sucking the corresponding wrapper 9, they are activated in the area of the feeding station S3 and are deactivated in the area of the transfer station S1; preferably, said sucking elements are arranged in the pocket 17 in the area of the first larger lateral wall 5a of the group 2 of cigarettes so as to "freeze" the position of the wrapper 9 with respect to the pocket 17 when the wrapper 9 lays for the first time on the pocket 17 itself.
  • each stiffener 10 is fed to the corresponding pocket 17 of the wrapping conveyor 16 upstream of the hoppers 18, i.e. before feeding the pocket 17 to the group 2 of cigarettes.
  • each wrapper 9 is folded around the corresponding group 2 of cigarettes forming the fins 21 and 24; according to alternative and completely equivalent embodiments, each wrapper 9 is folded around the corresponding group 2 of cigarettes forming only the longitudinal fins 21 but not the transverse fin 24, forming only the transverse fin 24 but not the longitudinal fins 21, or without forming any fin.
  • the packer machine 11 described above has numerous advantages.
  • the packer machine 11 described above is able to quickly operate (i.e. with a high hourly productivity) while ensuring a high production quality.
  • the wrappers 9 are always perfectly centered both longitudinally and transversely with respect to the corresponding groups 2 of cigarettes also operating rapidly (i.e. with a high hourly productivity); accordingly, in the wraps 1 the pull-out opening 7 (overlaid by the reusable closing tab 8) is always exactly in the desired location and especially the welds always ensure the desired seal (therefore the wraps 1 have a high production quality). Said result is obtained thanks to the fact that initially the outspread wrapper 9 (i.e.
  • the fundamental technical advantage is to apply the wrapper 9 to the group 2 of cigarettes by referring the wrapper 9 to a large mechanical surface (a larger lateral wall 5 of the group 2 of cigarettes) to the advantage of stability and positioning accuracy of the wrapper 9.
  • the packer machine 1 described above is structurally similar to a standard packer machine, i.e. the packer machine 11 described above is obtainable with few and simple changes originating from a standard packer machine.
  • the embodiment illustrated in the accompanying figures refers to the production of a packet of cigarettes, but the present invention is also applicable without substantial changes to the production of any other type of packet of tobacco articles (for example, a packet of cigars, a packet of liquid vaporizing type electronic cigarettes, a packet of new generation cigarettes without tobacco combustion).
