Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products.
- The use is known of individual wrapping for various different kinds of products: in particular for food products this kind of wrapping makes it possible to protect the product proper from contamination that could occur owing to contact with the outside environment.
- For products such as chocolates, candy, chewing gum, chocolate bars and the like, the use is known of two different types of wrapping: "envelope-style" wrapping and "wallet-style" wrapping.
- In envelope-style wrapping, a sheet is wrapped around the product, and the laterally-protruding flaps (i.e. the flaps that protrude with respect to the two side heads of the product) are folded under the end flap, which in turn will be juxtaposed against the bottom of the product.
- In wallet-style wrapping, a sheet is wrapped around the product, and its laterally-protruding flaps (i.e. the flaps that protrude with respect to the two side heads of the product) are folded back onto themselves (i.e. by juxtaposing them against the respective heads of the product with successive folds) and the end end flap is closed juxtaposing it against the bottom of the product.
- Both kinds of wrapping have been used for a great many years on a wide variety of food and non-food products.
- Recently, the greater attention placed on the risks of contamination of food products (to contain contagions and/or allergic reactions, intolerances and the like) has resulted in the introduction of sealed packages for segregating food products.
- In essence the covering sheet will be sealed along its edges in order to isolate the product from the outside environment.
- For simpler packages, this change has been rapidly implemented by introducing respective heat-sealers on the packaging machines or depositing layers of adhesive substances onto some portions of the covering sheet, so that these stably couple the juxtaposed faces thereof.
- For more complex kinds of wrapping, isolation of the product (by way of adhesive and/or heat-sealing) is not always possible and, in any case, it is difficult to industrialize.
- For envelope-style packages, only recently have machines been developed that are capable of stably coupling the flaps of the covering sheet while isolating the food product from the outside environment.
- For wallet-style wrapping, it is not possible to seal the product inside (even with a partial adhesive bonding/heat-sealing of the flaps of the wrapper), or at least it is not possible to do it on an industrial scale with a good rate of productivity.
- Some products, however, by tradition and/or because of specific requirements, preferably use wallet-style wrapping, and therefore they cannot be conveniently sealed and/or segregated inside the respective package.
- The aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products that can be implemented on an industrial scale, producing a wallet-style package.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products that enables high productivity of wallet-style packages.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products that makes it possible to seal completely or partially each product within a respective wallet-style package.
- A still further object of the present invention is to provide a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products which is low cost, easily and practically implemented, and safe in use.
- This aim and these and other objects which will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products, products of the type preferably chosen from among chocolates, candy, chocolate bars, snacks, chewing gums and the like, which consists of:
- juxtaposing a wrapping sheet against a first face of the product,
- folding the flaps of said sheet onto the product along the faces that are contiguous with said first face, giving the sheet a C-shape with one base longer than the other,
- stably coupling the short flap to the inner surface of the long flap, thus confining the product within a closed tubular portion, consequently giving the sheet a P-like shape,
- orienting the protruding flap of the sheet along a direction that is parallel to the first face of said product, without juxtaposing said flap on itself,
- folding the tubular portions that protrude with respect to the two mutually opposite heads of said product onto the respective head, according to the wallet wrapping method, stably coupling them in the closed configuration,
- folding the free flap of said sheet, which comprises respective parts of the tubular portions which are folded and mutually coupled in a stable manner, onto the bottom of the product, and coupling it thereto.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the detailed description that follows of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment of the process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products according to the invention, which is illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings wherein:

flaps sheet 1 onto the product P along the faces B, C that are contiguous with the first face A, giving the sheet a C-shape with one base (flap 2) longer than the other (flap 3). - During a third step, it is necessary to stably couple the
short flap 3 to the inner surface of thelong flap 2, thus confining the product P within a closed tubular portion, consequently giving the sheet 1 a P-like shape. - The stable coupling of the
short flap 3 to the inner face of thelong flap 2 also entails fixing operations, such as heat-sealing, adhesive bonding and the like. - A fourth step entails orienting the
protruding flap 2 of thesheet 1 along a direction that is parallel to the first face A of the product P, without juxtaposing theflap 2 on itself. - In essence, the

free flap 2 of thesheet 1, which comprises respective parts of thetubular portions - It should be noted that the juxtaposition of the
sheet 1 against the first face A of the product P can positively occur during the advancement of the product P toward the respective packaging unit. - Folding the
flaps sheet 1 onto the product P along the faces B, C that are contiguous with the first face A, which gives the sheet 1 a C-shape (as can be seen in the accompanyingFigure 2 ) with one base longer than the other (theflap 2 is longer than the flap 3), can advantageously be obtained by making the product P pass through a hopper, preceded (in its travel toward the hopper) by thesheet 1, which will be juxtaposed against the first face A of theproduct 1 proper. - It should be noted that, in such case, the hopper conveniently will have a shape and dimensions that are at least partially complementary to those of the product P, so as to lay out the
sheet 1 and make it adhere to the outer surface of the product P proper. - It should furthermore be noted that the stable coupling of the
short flap 3 to the inner surface of thelong flap 2 and of the protrudingtubular portions sheet 1 which is arranged around the product P. - Such tabs comprise heated bands for providing a heat-sealed coupling seam.
- It should be noted that the
sheet 1, in order to enable valid and stable couplings, comprises localized layers of at least one substance chosen from among adhesives, thermoplastic polymers, adhesive tapes and the like. - Such layers can already be present on the
sheet 1 when it is supplied in order to begin the wrapping operations, or they can be deposited on respective localized areas of thesheet 1 in one of the steps of the process. - It is useful to detail the fact that folding the
tubular portions - Finally, it should be noted that the terminal coupling of the
free flap 2 of thesheet 1 to the bottom of the product P, at the end of the last step of the process according to the invention, is obtained by adhesive bonding. The possibility is not ruled out however of carrying out such operation by interposing strips of adhesive tape and/or by heat-sealing theflap 2 proper onto the part ofsheet 1 underlying it (already arranged to cover the bottom of the product P). - Advantageously the present invention solves the above mentioned problems, by providing a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products P that can be implemented on an industrial scale, producing a wallet-style package.
