  • enclosing element is generally understood an element which may comprise the product combination from one side.
  • the Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a Um chargedselement application device in the form of a St Shapeap bearingsvorraum 10, which comprises a horizontally extending in the example transport device or transport path 12 on which product combinations 11 a, 11 b are transported horizontally by a dashed framed application unit 30 in time.
  • the product assemblies 11a, 11b delivered on the transport path 12 are successively provided at their front edge 31 with a strip section 14a which is placed perpendicular to the edge 31 around the edge 31 and at the upper and lower side surfaces of the product assemblies 11 a, 11 b, in particular adhesive or adhesive, is applied ( Fig. 1d ).
  • a strip section 14a which is placed perpendicular to the edge 31 around the edge 31 and at the upper and lower side surfaces of the product assemblies 11 a, 11 b, in particular adhesive or adhesive, is applied ( Fig. 1d ).

  • Fig. 1 has the upper Andruckbürste 17a long, soft bristles, which are aligned in the rest state perpendicular to the transport direction and bend when moving through a product combination 11a, b in the transport direction and create the product composition 11 a, b or nestle and thereby different settings without further adjustments of the system Thickness of the product compositions 11 a, b can compensate.
  • the lower pressure brush 17b has in the example short, hard bristles, which are slightly inclined from the outset in the transport direction and carry without significant deformation of the past moving product assembly 11 a, b and thus form a level-equal portion of the transport path 12.
  • the pressure brushes 17a, b ensure that the strip portion 14a to be applied fits snugly against the product assembly 11a, b and at the same time is drawn back to the product assembly 11a, b in a firming manner.
  • the upper pressure brush 17a has another important function in the example: its rear edge in the transport direction, together with a knife 15 arranged underneath, whose cutting edge lies in the vertical direction at the same height, serves as a stop for the strip section 14a to be applied.

In this way, on the one hand, a secure, wrinkle-free contact of the strip 14 or strip section 14a is achieved in the product combination 11a. This is of particular importance when applying an adhesive layer provided with a strip or an adhesive tape. On the other hand, a tension is generated in the strip 14, which favors the cutting of the strip portion 14a from the strip 14 on the knife 15.

  • Fig. 5 a and b show in plan view from above two embodiments of a label 34 carrying carrier tape 33, wherein the individual labels 34 are printed with an exemplary bar code 38 and a text or image information 39 or otherwise provided. Additionally, weakening means, eg, in the form of notches or serrations or the like, may be disposed on the labels 34, which facilitate later cutting of the labels 34 to separate the product assembly held together by the labels 34. In the case of Fig. 5a where the labels 34 in width from Edge of the carrier tape 33 are spaced, the weakening means 36 may be limited to edge regions of the labels 34. In the case of Fig. 5b where the labels 34 and the carrier tape 33 have longitudinal edges lying directly above one another, the weakening means 37 can be formed continuously at the edges of the carrier tape 33 and the labels 34, whereby the production is greatly simplified.
