Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for multifunctional film embossing.
  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for multifunctional embossing of sealing films for packaging.
  • Sealing films are used in the packaging industry for a variety of different products, for example, as a closure for appropriate packaging containers such as cups or boxes.
  • the sealing films are often obtained by punching appropriate shapes of a strip-shaped material.
  • the material used may be, for example, aluminum foil, plastic film, or composite materials made of plastic and aluminum. Often the material is printed on at least one or both sides.
  • the sealing films are glued or welded onto the containers.
  • the films on the side facing the packaging container for example, have a heat sealing lacquer layer.
  • the resulting fittings are usually stacked.
  • the packaging container for example, as a lid provided shaped pieces the stack with suitable gripping systems, such as vacuum grippers, removed and arranged on the opening to be closed of the packaging container.
  • suitable gripping systems such as vacuum grippers
  • the fittings provided as a lid are then connected to the packaging container under the action of pressure and / or heat.
  • EP 0 960 024 B2 a method for producing partially embossed lid elements for the closure of containers, in particular food containers and an apparatus for carrying out this method.
  • EP 1 790 470 Lead Process for the production of partially embossed and additionally printed sealable packaging lids or labels.
  • a disadvantage of the methods and devices known from the prior art is that an embossing used for the separation of the shaped pieces (lid) may have an adverse effect on the adhesion between the packaging container and the shaped piece during bonding and / or welding.
  • a further disadvantage of the systems known from the prior art is that it is necessary for the change of the embossing pattern that the entire embossing tool, which is usually an embossing die, possibly in combination with an embossing die, has to be replaced, which is accompanied on the one hand with an increased expenditure of time, on the other hand with an increased cost.
  • the invention proposes a device for multifunctional embossing of films which has a base embossing element, a receiving region, and a replaceable embossing element detachably arranged within the receiving region, wherein the replaceably arranged replaceable embossing elements has an embossing image conveying haptic perceptible information.
  • the embossing thus produced is advantageously multifunctionalized, so that the embossing used for one for the purpose of information perception on the other hand serves for singling in the stacking of stamped sealing films.
  • the multifunctional embossing thus provided can provide a sealing film for packaging which allows visually impaired persons to obtain information about the contents of the product in the package in a simplified manner.
  • Such information has heretofore been provided only on overwrapping cartons, such as drug reshapings.
  • the device has fixing means for releasably fixing the replaceable embossing element.
  • fixing means for releasably fixing the replaceable embossing element.
  • the device has a receiving area, which is designed to receive a plurality of replaceable embossing elements.
  • a plurality of braille characters or pictograms can be arranged one behind the other in the direction of perception, whereby the mediated information content can be increased.
  • the basic embossing element has a plurality of receiving areas for changing embossing elements.
  • the basic embossing element and the replaceable embossing element are designed as dies and the device has a base male inverted with respect to the embossed image of the embossing element, which has a receiving area and a detachable male element detachably arranged within a receiving area.
  • the Kirpatrzienelement in this case has a respect to the embossed image of the change embossment element inverted embossing image.
  • the base embossing element and the base male are preferably arranged so that they can be aligned with one another.
  • this has an embossing plate, which comprises a plurality of basic embossing elements. If a male is provided points the device accordingly has a patrix plate comprising a plurality of base patrices (210). This makes it possible to emboss a plurality of cover film in a stamping train.
  • the interchangeable embossing elements and / or interchangeable die elements are arranged and / or arranged in the embossing element / Grundpatrizenelement that received with a first embossment element / Grundpatrizenelement embossed image to that with another basic embossment element / Grundpatrizenelement received impression image is not identical.
  • a further functionality of the embossing or the embossed image is achieved in an advantageous manner, wherein in the case of stacking successive slides with different embossing image by the differences in the embossing image have a sufficient distance from each other to achieve a separation of the films when recording.
  • Non-identical embossing images in the sense of this invention are, for example, embossed images which differ from one another in their respective relative orientation to the printed image or in the embossing pattern.
  • a difference of ⁇ 0.1 mm, preferably ⁇ 0.2 mm, in particular ⁇ 0.3 mm, may already be sufficient within the meaning of the invention.
  • the device is arranged in a system which comprises a material supply, an embossing device and a punching device, wherein these are arranged to each other such that fed from the material supply sheet material first embossed by the embossing means and then punched by means of the punching device.
  • embossed film elements such as e.g. Foliendeckel for packaging possible.
  • sealing films such as lids for packaging, for example, to provide food with a multifunctional embossing, which in addition to the function of ensuring sufficient separability of the films in the recording of a stack the other function a haptic to provide perceptible information on the foil cover, such as a pictogram or braille marker.
  • a multifunctional embossing which in addition to the function of ensuring sufficient separability of the films in the recording of a stack the other function a haptic to provide perceptible information on the foil cover, such as a pictogram or braille marker.
  • the embossing image perceptible by means of the alternating embossing elements comprises a Braille marking and / or a pictogram.
  • Fig. 1 shows a film (900), which has a haptic perceptible embossed image (130).
  • the illustrated film (900) can serve, for example, as a sealing film for closing a food packaging, such as a yogurt cup or the like.
  • the haptically perceptible embossed image (130) can be, for example, Braille markings, with the aid of which persons with limited visual perception ability are provided with information about the contents of the food packaging.
  • the name of the manufacturer and the flavor (strawberry) are given as haptic perceptible information.
  • Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a device (100) according to the invention for multifunctional embossing of films.
  • the device has a basic embossing element (110) with a receiving region (111), as well as a replaceable embossing element (120, 121, 122, 123) detachably arranged within the receiving region (111).
  • the releasably arranged change embossing elements (120, 121, 122, 123) are suitable for embossing the film to produce a haptic perceptible information mediating impression image.
  • the alternate embossing members 120, 122, and 123 create a embossed image of the braille marker for the letter "e” and the alternate embossing element 121 emboss image of the braille marker for the letter "r.”
  • Fig. 3 shows a stamping plate (101) having a plurality of basic stamping elements (110).
  • each of the basic embossing elements (110) again has a plurality of alternating embossing elements in a receiving region.
  • the change embossing elements are formed and / or arranged in the basic embossing element such that the embossed image obtained with a first embossing element (110) is not identical to the embossing image obtained with a further embossing element. This ensures that in the stacking of embossed films snagging of the films can be avoided each other and a separation of the films is achieved in a resumption.
  • Fig. 4 shows a system (150), with which from a sheet-like film material, such as an aluminum foil or an aluminum / plastic composite foil embossed sealing lid and can be punched out.
  • the system (150) has a material feed (151) which initially feeds a sheet-like film material (900) to an embossing device (152).
  • the embossing device (150) in this case has an embossing plate with a plurality of basic embossing elements, which in turn each have a plurality of interchangeable embossing elements.
  • the film web embossed by means of the embossing device (150) is fed to a punching device (153), by means of which embossed film elements are punched out.
  • the embossed and punched foil elements are stacked in a stack (154).
  • a singling of the film elements stacked in the stack (154) is simplified in a later resumption.
