Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products.
  • 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.
  • the laterally-protruding flaps i.e. the flaps that protrude with respect to the two side heads of the product
  • 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.
  • flaps i.e. the flaps that protrude with respect to the two side heads of the product
  • the covering sheet will be sealed along its edges in order to isolate the product from the outside environment.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates the wrapping sheet used in the process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products P according to the invention.
  • the products P that will preferably be packaged by implementing the process according to the invention are of the type preferably chosen from among chocolates, candy, chocolate bars, snacks, chewing gums and the like.
  • the first step of the process entails juxtaposing the wrapping sheet 1 against a first face A of the product P.
  • a second step consists of folding the flaps 2, 3 of the 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).
  • the stable coupling of the short flap 3 to the inner face of the long 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 the sheet 1 along a direction that is parallel to the first face A of the product P, without juxtaposing the flap 2 on itself.
  • the flap 2 is folded 90° with respect to its initial position in the direction of rotation that does not superimpose it on the sheet 1 that is already wrapped around the product P.
  • the tubular portions 4, 5 that protrude with respect to the two mutually opposite heads D, E of the product P need to be folded onto the respective head D, E, according to the wallet wrapping method, stably coupling them in the closed configuration.
  • Such operations entail folding a first, central region of each tubular portion 4, 5 onto the respective head D, E and, subsequently, folding the side regions onto the central region (in sequence).
  • Such steps of folding the tubular portions 4, 5 will be accompanied by fixing operations, such as heat-sealing, adhesive bonding and the like.
  • the sixth and last step of the wrapping process according to the invention involves folding the free flap 2 of the sheet 1, which comprises respective parts of the tubular portions 4, 5 which are folded and mutually coupled in a stable manner, onto the bottom of the product P, and coupling it thereto.
  • 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 2, 3 of the 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 accompanying Figure 2 ) with one base longer than the other (the flap 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 the sheet 1, which will be juxtaposed against the first face A of the product 1 proper.
  • 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.
  • Such tabs comprise heated bands for providing a heat-sealed coupling seam.
  • 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 the sheet 1 in one of the steps of the process.
  • the terminal coupling of the free flap 2 of the sheet 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 the flap 2 proper onto the part of sheet 1 underlying it (already arranged to cover the bottom of the product P).
  • 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.
  • the process according to the invention makes it possible to completely or partially seal each product P within a respective wallet-style package.
  • the process according to the invention is easily and practically implemented, and is substantially low cost: such characteristics make the process according to the invention an innovation that is certain to be safe in use.
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
