Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for applying decorative elements to containers, such as bottles, and to a corresponding method for providing containers with decorative elements.
  • the DE 10 2012 112 556 A1 for the application of decorative elements on three-dimensional objects, such as cylindrically shaped bottles, it is from the DE 10 2012 112 556 A1
  • the embossing foil consisting of a carrier tape and a decorating material mounted thereon, past the object and push.
  • the adhesive is cured through the decoration material, for example by means of UV light.
  • the carrier tape on which the decoration material is attached the areas of the decoration material remain adhered to the object, which have come into contact with the previously uncured adhesive.
  • the adhesive may be prior to curing and applying the decorative material to the surface of the container so that the scored motif does not correspond to the desired motif.
  • an apparatus and a method for furnishing containers with decorative elements indicate that offers a high flexibility with regard to the producible motifs and at the same time achieves a high quality of the applied decorative elements.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a transport device for containers and an application device, which can lead a decoration material provided on a carrier tape to the surface of the container for applying at least a part of the decoration material to the surface of the container, and furthermore a pressure module arranged upstream of this application device, which adhesive can apply to areas of decorative material and / or the surface of the container. Furthermore, a first curing device arranged downstream of the print module and upstream of the application device, which can pre-cure the adhesive before the decorative material passes the surface of the container, is provided and downstream of the application device a second curing device is provided, which deposits the adhesive after application of the decoration material the surface of the container can harden.
  • the adhesive is prevented from running until the application of the decoration material or during the application of the decoration material due to the pressure when pressing the decoration material. Furthermore, it is achieved by the pre-curing that the decoration material already adheres well to the pre-cured adhesive or the decorative material adheres to the adhesive on the surface of the container. Furthermore, the intensity with which, for example, UV light must be provided for pre-curing can be reduced by the device according to the invention, since the pre-hardening no longer has to take place through the decoration material and the carrier tape or through other components of the device. For the subsequent curing, the necessary energy can be further reduced because the adhesive is already partially cured.
  • the carrier tape in this case can be used as decorative material on the carrier tape vapor-deposited metal layers, for example, aluminum, chromium or tin.
  • plastics can be provided for example by spraying on a corresponding carrier tape.
  • individual material particles in particular to provide metal particles on the carrier tape.
  • the decoration material on the carrier tape need not be applied as a continuous layer along the carrier tape.
  • the carrier tape may also comprise separate areas with applied decorative material, so that decorating material can be saved in an environmentally friendly manner here.
  • the carrier tape may be, for example, a carbon film or a polyolefin film.
  • the combination of carrier tape and decorative material applied thereto is commonly referred to as a stamping foil.
  • the application device comprises at least one pressure roller which can guide the decoration material past the surface of the container, wherein the pressure roller comprises a flexible outer layer, which can adapt to the surface contour of the container. This ensures that even with irregularly curved container surfaces, a complete pressing of the decorative material can take place.
  • the application device further comprises a deflection roller, wherein an adjusting device is provided which can change the position of the deflection roller relative to the pressure roller for setting a separation angle of the decoration material of the carrier tape.
  • an adjusting device is provided which can change the position of the deflection roller relative to the pressure roller for setting a separation angle of the decoration material of the carrier tape.
  • the first and second hardening device comprise one of a UV light source or a heating module. Since, according to the invention, hardening of the adhesive through parts of the device is no longer necessary, instead of UV light sources, a radiant heater can also be used. For the same reason, the UV light sources only have to provide a lower intensity for hardening or pre-hardening, which considerably reduces the costs for these devices.
  • the device comprises a discharge device which can convey the carrier tape out of the application device with parts of the decoration material not applied to the surface of the container, wherein the discharge device comprises a roll on which the carrier tape can be wound up, and / or a disposal container in which the parts of the decorative material can be disposed of. Unused parts of the decoration material together with the carrier tape can thus be used for other purposes or disposed of efficiently.
  • the device comprises a dispensing device in which the decoration material is provided on the carrier tape for the application device and wherein the carrier tape can be transported with the decoration material by means of at least one deflection roller from the dispensing device into the application device.
  • the use of one or more deflection rollers is particularly advantageous to increase the tension of the carrier tape and the decoration material thereon prior to pressing on the container or before applying the adhesive to the decoration material to prevent wrinkling.
  • the dispensing device comprises a plurality of holders for rolls of carrier tapes with decorative material, and is designed to automatically start the supply of carrier tape with decoration material for the application device of another role at idle a roll. So downtime of the device can be reduced.
  • the adhesive is applied to areas on the surface of the container and the decoration material on the carrier tape by the application device pressed onto the surface of the container, wherein parts of the decorative material, which come into contact with the precured adhesive on the areas of the surface of the container, detached from the carrier tape and transferred to the areas of the surface of the container and the remaining parts of the decorative material on the Carrier tape remain.
  • the decorative material remaining after that can be used for further method steps, for example to be applied again to areas of a subsequent container.
  • the adhesive is applied to areas on the decoration material on the carrier tape and the decoration material on the carrier tape is pressed by the application device on the surface of the container, wherein the parts of the decoration material, which are provided with the pre-cured adhesive in the areas on the surface of the container remain and the remaining parts of the decoration material remain on the carrier tape.
  • the detachment angle of the decoration material from the carrier tape is adjusted by adjusting the position of a deflection roller in relation to a pressure roller of the application device. Since, with differently shaped containers and the use of different materials of the decorative material, the optimum angle at which the decorative material dissolves from the carrier tape may vary, the optimum setting of the peel-off angle can always be ensured with this embodiment.
  • the precuring and / or the curing of the adhesive takes place by irradiation with UV light or heat input.
  • the carrier tape is provided with the decoration material of the application device by a dispensing device, wherein the dispensing device comprises a plurality of holders on which rollers are arranged with carrier tape with decorative material and wherein for supplying the carrier tape with the decoration material is unrolled from a roll and wherein at idle of a roll the dispensing means automatically begins to provide the carrier tape with the decoration material from another roll.
