Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a procedure for packaging articles.
  • Articles packed in boxes are usually more protected than articles packed in bags.
  • WO 2010/131063 A1 discloses a procedure for packaging articles comprising the steps of:
  • the bag can be crushed and hit in such a way that even small strokes can jeopardize the integrity of the articles inside it.
  • the article contained in the bag consists of a so-called “surprise product”, that is, an object that is distributed on the market so as not to be immediately recognizable from its packaging and that is discovered only after purchasing once the bag has been removed.
  • the flexibility of the packaging sheet allows any purchaser to crush the bag without breaking it, folding it with the fingers for the purpose of touching the article inside.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to provide a procedure for packaging articles according to claim 1 that allows to pack articles so that they can be transported and distributed under greater safety conditions for their integrity and, in case of "surprise products", so as to avoid that potential buyers can recognize the article without removing the package.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a procedure for packaging articles which can overcome the above mentioned drawbacks of the prior art in the ambit of a simple, rational, easy and effective to use as well as low cost solution.
  • reference numeral 1 globally indicated by reference numeral 1 is a machine that implements the procedure according to the invention.
  • the machine 1 has a base frame, not shown in detail in the figures, carrying a packaging sheet 2 intended for the packaging of a series of articles 3.
  • the packaging sheet 2 has a longitudinal extension and two longitudinal edges 4; in practice, the packaging sheet 2 has a length considerably greater than its width, and this allows to define the longitudinal direction of the packaging sheet 2 along which extend the aforesaid longitudinal edges 4.
  • the packaging sheet 2 is initially wound in a reel 5 from which it is unrolled, carried on a worktop 6 and made to move along a direction of forward movement A substantially parallel to its longitudinal extension.
  • the direction of forward movement A is substantially horizontal.
  • the worktop 6 has side boards 7 which allow to fold the packaging sheet 2 so that the longitudinal edges 4 are slightly raised with respect to the central part of the sheet itself, causing it to take on a shape which, in cross section, is in the form of a U.
  • the machine 1 can have an automatic dispenser that releases the articles 3, but alternatively it is not ruled out that this operation can be carried out manually.
  • the stretching apart bodies 8 are arranged at the longitudinal edges 4, on their inner side.
  • two moving close bodies 9 Downstream of the stretching apart bodies 8 are provided two moving close bodies 9 that are arranged at the longitudinal edges 4, on their outer side.
  • the stretching apart bodies 8 and the moving close bodies 9 mutually cooperate to approach a longitudinal edge 4 to another.
  • the moving close bodies 9, on the other hand, are very close to one another and provide that, once the stretching apart bodies 8 are surpassed, the longitudinal edges 4 approach to one another, leaving the central part of the packaging sheet 2 under them.
  • a compressed air duct 12 that blows air through the open extremity 11 of the substantially tubular section 10.
  • the machine 1 Downstream of the moving close bodies 9, the machine 1 has a forward moving unit 13, 14, 15 that drives the packaging sheet 2 along the direction of forward movement A.
  • the forward moving unit 13, 14, 15 comprises a first conveyor belt 13 on which rests the central part of the packaging sheet 2.
  • the forward moving unit 13, 14, 15 also comprises at least a pair of driving rollers 14, 15, which are motorized and arranged on opposite sides of the juxtaposed longitudinal edges 4.
  • the driving rollers 14, 15 press on the longitudinal edges 4, by gripping on them and driving them forward along the direction of forward movement A.
  • the forward moving unit 13, 14, 15 comprises two pairs of driving rollers 14, 15, of which a first pair 14 and a second pair 15, arranged in succession above the first conveyor belt 13.
  • a sealing unit 16 which seals the longitudinal edges 4 between them forming a sealed longitudinal edge 17.
  • the machine 1 Downstream of the forward moving unit 13, 14, 15, the machine 1 is equipped with two opposite rotating members 18, which rotate around rotation axes R parallel to one another and transversal to the direction of forward movement A.
  • the rotation axes R are arranged substantially horizontal, but alternative embodiments cannot be ruled out wherein the rotation axes R are vertical or oblique.
  • the opposite rotating members 18 have at least a sealing surface 19, 20 and at least a cutting profile 21 able to come into contact with the substantially tubular section 10 on opposite sides of the same to seal it transversally upstream and downstream of each article 3 to form a plurality of closed packages 22 containing the articles 3 and have a first transversal sealing line 23 and a second transversal sealing line 24.
  • each opposite rotating member 18 comprises two hammers 26 arranged at 180° with respect to the relative rotation axis R.
  • Each hammer 26 has a first sealing surface 19 and a second sealing surface 20, between which is arranged a cutting profile 21.
  • the hammers 26 are in contact with the substantially tubular section 10 first of all at the first sealing surfaces 19, that seal transversally the first transversal sealing line 23 of the closed package 22 arranged immediately downstream of the opposite rotating members 18.
  • the subsequent rotation of the opposite rotating members 18 carries the second sealing surfaces 20 on the packaging sheet 2, by sealing it transversally at the second transversal sealing line 24 of the packaging sheet 2.
  • the machine 1 Downstream of the opposite rotating members 18 the machine 1 has a moving away unit 28 that collects the closed packages 22 and moves them away; the moving away unit 28, e.g., consists of a second conveyor belt.
  • the packaging procedure which can be realized by means of the machine 1 comprises the steps of:
