Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging apparatus configured to wrap a stack of printed matter with a paper banderole, which stack comprises two opposing flat sides, and a fore edge and back edge
  • which packaging apparatus comprises a transporting device for transporting the stacks of printed matter along a transporting direction, a banderole dispenser, which banderole dispenser arranges a banderole around two opposing flat sides of the stack and around the fore edge of the stack, where the banderole on one side of the stack comprises an overhang extending past the back edge of the stack
  • which packaging apparatus further comprises a folding device which folding device is configured to fold the overhang around the other side of the stack wherein the folding device comprises a lever mounted on a rotating axis, wherein the lever extends radially outward and wherein the lever at its radially outwards end extends along the direction of rotation.
  • the present invention relates to a method for packaging a stack of printed matter with a paper banderole.
  • Printed matter especially weekly subscriptions, is typically packed in a packaging apparatus. Stacks of printed matter can be individualised for each household. That is, each household can get a different selection of printed paper matters.
  • the weekly stack of printed matter is wrapped in a plastic or with a paper banderole. Paper banderoles are preferable from an ecological view, due to reducing the amount of plastic used.
  • Known packaging apparatuses for wrapping a stack of printed matter with a paper banderole use a banderole dispenser for dispensing a banderole on a stack of printed matter.
  • a lever then wraps the banderole and encloses the two sides of the banderole together. In the state of the art, this is performed with a lever which bends the banderole around an end of the stack and pushes an end section of the banderole against the other end section of the banderole.
  • This lever is actuated in two directions. From a resting position, it is actuated towards the banderole and pushes the banderole around an edge of the stack. Then, from this extended or active position, the lever has to be brought back into a resting position, undergoing the reverse motion, such that the next stack can pass the lever in an apparatus, after which the process is repeated for the next stack that has to be wrapped.
  • a prior art packaging apparatus of the type described by way of introduction and as defined in the preamble of claim 1 is known from EP 0770548 A2 .
  • the apparatus has a simpler construction than the apparatuses known in the art. This increases reliability, reduces costs and reduces the complexity of control software necessary for the apparatus.
  • the packaging apparatus is configured to skip wrapping of stacks with a banderole on request.
  • both stacks of printed matter which are to be wrapped and stacks which are not to be wrapped can be processed.
  • wrapping or non-wrapping can be chosen.
  • Fore edge and back edge of the stack of printed matter are referred to relative to the transporting direction in the packaging apparatus.
  • the fore edge is the edge of the stack oriented towards the transporting direction.
  • the back edge is the edge of the stack oriented away from the transporting direction.
  • the packaging apparatus is of the type used in a packaging line for packing a large number of consecutive stacks.
  • the packaging apparatus can comprise a glue dispenser.
  • the glue dispenser can dispense glue onto an end of the banderole.
  • the lever bends the overhang of the banderole around the edge of the stack and against the other end of the banderole the two ends of the banderole are glued together and the stack is wrapped with a banderole and can be transported further along a packaging line.
  • Transporting of the stacks in transporting direction and rotation of the lever in the folding device can be performed simultaneously and/or continuously. This provides fast wrapping and high throughput of stacks in the packaging apparatus.
  • the transporting device can comprise two parts.
  • the two parts can engage with the stacks in two opposing edge areas.
  • the lever of the folding device can rotate between the two parts of the transporting device.
  • the rotating axis is placed with an offset to the transporting device.
  • the offset is lateral.
  • lateral offset is understood an offset in a right angle to the transporting direction.
  • the orientation of the rotating axis is in a right angle to the transporting direction.
  • the packaging apparatus is peculiar in that the lever is substantially L-shaped.
  • the essentially L-shaped lever makes sure that when the lever is rotated, it can bend the overhang of the banderole around the stack and push the two sides of the banderole against each other.
  • the two lengths of the L are adapted to the specific apparatus and the size of the stacks and overhang of the banderole.
  • a first side of the L-shaped lever can have a length corresponding to the offset of the rotating axis to the transporting device. This provides a particularly well wrapped banderole, due to a second side of the L-shaped lever pressing the overhang of the banderole against the flat side of the stack.
  • the packaging apparatus is peculiar in that packaging apparatus is configured to adjust an angular position of the lever with an adjustable delay relative to a time at which a banderole is dispensed by the banderole dispenser.
  • the angular position of the lever is controlled with an adjustable delay which is set relative to the time at which a banderole is dispensed by the banderole dispenser.
  • the apparatus can retrieve status information on the previously bent banderole. Depending on the status information, the delay can be adjusted for example to increase the pressure which is applied to the overhang of the banderole to glue it to the other end of the banderole.
  • the packaging apparatus is peculiar in that the packaging apparatus comprises a glue dispenser, which glue dispenser is configured to apply glue to an end section of the banderole.
  • the glue dispenser can apply glue to an end section of the banderole. It can be operated with an adjustable delay relative to the time at which the banderole dispenser dispenses a banderole.
  • the end section of the banderole is typically either the end section on the opposite end of the overhang of the banderole or the end sections of the overhang.
  • the method further comprises the following steps:
  • Adjusting the adjustable delay depending on the retrieved status information of the previously bent banderole increases the reliability of the apparatus and reduces the number of faulty wrapped stacks.
  • the pressure with which the lever presses the overhang of the banderole against the other end of the banderole can be adjusted. For example when a banderole has not been properly glued, the delay can be reduced and thus the lever will apply more pressure on the overhang of the banderole.
  • the method further comprises the following steps:
  • length of the stack is understood the distance between fore edge and back edge.
  • the position at which the end section of the lever presses against the overhang of the banderole is adjusted by adjusting the adjustable delay.
  • the method further comprises the following steps:
  • the method further comprises the following steps:
  • the rotational speed of the lever can be adjusted.
  • Figure 1a-d show schematics of parts of a packaging apparatus according to the invention.
  • Figures 1a-c show the schematic from a side of the machine at different time points in the packaging process.
  • Fig 1a shows the machine where a banderole 5 has been wrapped around the flat sides 7 and the fore edge 9 of a stack 3. The lever 23 has just started to engage the overhang 19 of the banderole.
  • Fig. 1b shows the machine at a later timepoint in the packaging process than shown in Fig. 1a .
  • the stack is transported further in the transporting direction 13.

  • the rotating axis extends radially outwards.
  • the lever extends along the direction of rotation at its radially outward end.
  • the lever is substantially L-shaped.
  • the lever 23 is configured to rotate in one direction only.

  • the glue dispenser is configured to apply glue to an end section 29 of the banderole 5.
  • Fig. 2a-b show a banderole dispenser 17 dispensing a banderole 5.
  • Fig. 2a the banderole is dispensed from the banderole dispenser.
  • the banderole is wrapped around the flat sides 7 of the stack 3 and the fore edge 9 as seen in Fig. 2b .
  • Fig. 3a-g schematically show the method of wrapping a stack 3 of printed matter with a banderole 5.
  • Fig. 3a show consecutive timepoints during the wrapping with Fig. 3a being the first timepoint and Fig. 3g being the last time point.
