- the invention relates to a method for applying additional elements, in particular of straws, to packages, preferably cardboard composite packages, with such an application device.
- Packages are formed by a packaging and the packaged goods received therein.
- bottles, tubular bags, cans, etc. are suitable as packaging.
- the present packs are primarily composite packs used as an alternative to, for example, bottles or cans.
- Corresponding packaging is usually in a so-called
- Filling machine filled with the packaged goods and sealed which are often referred to in carton composite packages based on their main functions, namely the forming of the packaging, the filling of the packaging and the sealing of the packaging, as a form / fill / seal machines ,
- packaged goods are suitable as packaged goods, which, if necessary, may still have lumpy proportions.
- Plastic layers can serve. Plastic layers serve as a liquid barrier, for example. Thus, for example, the penetration of flowable products into the packing laminate, in particular the cardboard layer, or even the leakage of flowable products is also avoided, as is the penetration of moisture from the outside. Furthermore, thermoplastic materials can be sealed to form cohesive sealing seams so as to form a package and close the package.
- the packing laminate may comprise further layers and packaging materials, for example an aluminum layer provides a barrier effect against gases and light. To fold the sheet package laminate, i. creases by machine, often creases are introduced into the packing laminate, which predefine the later fold lines. The folds form on the package
- Packaging edges and / or allow the molding of package bottom and / or packing head are also usually printed with a decor.
- the package laminate can be cut to size prior to molding the package, creating so-called blanks. These can be further processed into so-called packing jacket blanks.
- packing jacket blanks For this purpose, the longitudinal edges are superposed and to form a longitudinal sealing seam
- the package laminate can be provided as a continuous material, in particular as a roll product, from which, without first producing a blank, a package can be formed directly.
- Packs such as those for food, which are used as cardboard composite packs
- straws which are also referred to as drinking straws, resealable spouts and / or opening elements,
- Tear tabs which are also referred to as pull-tabs, labels or the like may be formed. These are special application devices
- the packages can be guided past the application device or through the application device.
- an applicator is provided, which takes over the additional elements at a transfer position and, at an application position, successively transfers or applies them to the packages moved along the transport path.
- the additional component is pressed into an adhesive provided on the package.
- the adhesive may also be provided on the additional element. The adhesive then cures and the additive component remains permanently attached to the package until the user consciously removes the additive component from the package, such as to consume the beverage present in the package.
- the present invention is based on the object

- the application device and the method for applying are in particular designed so that similar packages successively with similar
- Additional elements are provided. This is particularly simple and reliable but not necessarily the case. In principle, varying packings and / or varying additional elements can also be used.
- packs are understood to mean, in particular, filled packs or containers, wherein the filling is preferably foodstuffs, in particular flowable foodstuffs.
- foodstuffs in particular flowable foodstuffs.
- Such foods may be, for example, drinks.
- additional elements such as straws have special meanings.
- the packs can be made of different materials, such as plastic. Particularly expedient and customer desired, however, is the attachment of additional elements to cardboard composite packages.
- packs of a packaging material in the form of a laminate which may have a cardboard layer and outer, in particular thermoplastic, plastic layers, for example made of polyethylene (PE).
- the carton provides the packages with sufficient stability to allow the packages to be easily handled and stacked, for example.

- packings which are open on one side are typically first formed from the packaging material and then filled and sealed. The finished packs can then be provided immediately afterwards or in a separate and decoupled from the filling process with at least one additional element.
- Regardless of the type of pack come as additional elements in particular straws in question, which may be packaged separately for reasons of hygiene.
- plastic films are suitable for packaging.
- blister packs are usually blister packs that reveal the packaged straw.
- the straws or other additional elements are then, for example, welded between two plastic films. Straws attached to the packs make it easy to consume drinks on the go, without the risk of spilling the drinks.
- spouts or closures can be set as additional elements to the packs.
- the packages can then be easily unscrewed, opened and / or poured, which simplifies the consumption of the packaged food. But there may also be additional components of the food as
- Additional component may be provided on the package, which are mixed, for example, shortly before consumption with the rest of the food.

- Application position 30 of the applicators 22 is offset. Therefore, the retaining cams 42 approach the positioning straps 38 along the circumference of the deflection 39 to the additional elements 2.
- the applicator 23 and the deflection 39 are driven together in the illustrated and so far preferred application device 1.
- the applicator wheel 23 and the deflection 39 may have at least substantially equal diameters.
- FIGS. 4A-B an applicator 22 is shown from different angles.
- the applicators 22 have a base 45, with which the applicators 22 are fixed to the applicator 23. Opposite the base 45 extends the
- Application finger 28 is provided, which is fixed about a pivot axis 31 pivotally connected to the base 45 of the applicator 22.
- a spring means 29 is provided between the base 45 and the application finger 28, which ensures the pivoting of the application finger 28 in an outer position, as far as the application finger 28 is not blocked by a positive connection. This is the case when the applicator 22 holds an additional element 2 and the application finger 28 presses the additional element 2 outwardly against the additional element guide 25.
- FIG. 5 shows an alternative application device 46. This corresponds in many parts of the application device 1 according to FIG. 1. Therefore, the same reference numerals are used for the same components and only certain components described again. An essential difference to the
- Positioning belt 47 is provided and that this positioning belt 47 does not require retaining cam 42. This is because with the illustrated and so far preferred application device 46 additional elements 2 cuboid
- Packs 48 are applied, on a side surface 49 of the packs 48, which are aligned at least substantially parallel to the transport path 15 of the packages 48 at the application position 30 of the applicators 50.
- Fig. 6 the application of the additional elements 2 is shown in detail.
- the additional elements 2 are held by the applicators 50 and along a
- Additional elements guide 51 in an arcuate path to the application position 30 and the packages 48 introduced. At the end of the additional element guide 51, the additional elements 2 of the additional element guide 51 at an inner
- Additional elements 2 are aligned.
- the additional elements 2 then pass directly from the additional element guide 51 in the application position 30 of the applicators 50 to the packages 48.
- the applicators 50 press the additional elements 2 by means of the spring-loaded application fingers 28 to the packages 48, which are provided at the appropriate locations with an adhesive , With this transfer of the additional elements 2 of the positioning belt 47 comes into contact with the additional elements 2 and is at the same speed and in the same direction as the

- Cam 55 may be provided, as is the case with the application device 1 according to FIG. 1. A slow approach of the positioning belt 47 after the
- the applicators 50 are combined to form an applicator wheel 57 rotating about an axis of rotation 56.
- the applicators 50 are rotated about the rotation axis 56 about a further axis of rotation 58 when rotating. This is done by a cam through a corresponding coupling of the applicators 50th with the cam. On the cam rolls off a role, which is moved according to the slopes of the cam up and down again. Via a coupling lever, this movement is converted into a rotary movement of the applicators 50 and a bearing of the applicators 50.
- Cam are not shown for the sake of clarity.
- the additional elements can be aligned parallel to the axis of rotation 56 of the applicator wheel 57 by the applicators 50
- the additional elements 2 can therefore be applied diagonally to the corresponding side surface 49 of the pack 48. So straws can be easily applied, which are longer than the pack 48 is high.
- the positioning belt 47 revolves around a deflection 59, which likewise rotates about a rotation axis 58, wherein this rotation axis 58 is offset relative to the rotation axis 56 of the applicator wheel 57 in the direction of the packs 48 or the application position 30 of the applicators 50.
- a gap 61 tapering in the direction of the application position 30 of the applicators 50 is provided between the additional element guide 51 and the positioning belt 47, which in the application position 30 of the applicators 50 at least substantially the width of the additional elements 2 equivalent. So get the
- Additional elements 2 at least substantially at the place of application of
- Additional elements 2 by the applicators 50 in abutment with the positioning belt 47 which then holds the additional elements 2 to the pack 48 or presses against the pack 48.
- the positioning belt 47 does not press the additional elements 2 but also against the additional element guide 51, which can lead to increased friction and thus damage to the additional elements 2, in particular the plastic film.
- the additional element 2 is held with the application to the pack 48 on the pack 48 and not only a considerable distance of the pack 48 later.
- the transport belt 54, the packs 48, the applicator wheel 57 and the deflection 59 are shown in detail.
- the packages 48 are provided with a Side surface 49 transported parallel to the transport direction of the transport belt 54 on the applicator 57.
- the applicators 50 rotate about a common axis of rotation 56 and pivot about a pivot axis 60 perpendicular to this axis of rotation 56.
- the applicators 50 take over the additional elements 2 in an orientation parallel to the axis of rotation 56 and then rotate around a
- the axis of rotation 58 of the deflection 59 is laterally in the direction of
- Packs 48 and the application position 30 of the applicators 50 arranged offset.
- the applicator wheel 57 and the deflection 59 may have at least substantially equal diameters.
- the positioning belt 47 at least substantially spaced by the width of the additional elements 2 of the packs 48. The distance of the
- Position istursts 47 of the packages 48 may be required to be slightly less than the width of the additional elements 2 in order to press the additional elements 2 to the corresponding side surfaces 49 of the packs 48 can.
- the application device 46 is provided with a control cam 64. Run on the cam 64 via spring means employed rollers 65, which are thereby adjusted parallel to the axis of rotation 56 up and down. This adjustment of the rollers 65 is converted by a lever means in a pivoting of the applicators 22 about the pivot axis 60.
- Similar cams 64 having cams are basically known from the prior art. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
