Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical sector relating to the making of a blank from a cardboard for packaging, to be used, for example, in order to obtain a cardboard box to use for boxing an article.
  • a cardboard for packaging can be used for various purposes, for example to form a cardboard box.
  • fold lines also known as score lines, which divide the cardboard for packaging into numerous portions so as to obtain a blank.
  • the various portions of blank can thus be easily folded about the fold lines, obtaining a cardboard box to pack articles in a simple and rapid way, preventing the formation of unappealing deformations and cracking of the cardboard for packaging during the steps of folding.
  • a known method for realising a blank from a cardboard for packaging to be used for boxing an article comprises following steps:
  • infeeding a cardboard for packaging detecting and memorising the dimensions of the upper face, of the bottom and of the lateral faces of an article to be boxed using the blank; on the basis of the values of the detected and memorised dimensional values, making, on the cardboard for packaging, a first longitudinal score line and a second longitudinal score line, parallel to one another, and a first transversal score line and a second transversal score line, parallel to one another and perpendicular to the first longitudinal score line and to the second longitudinal score line, so as to define on the cardboard for packaging:
  • a central sector comprised between the first longitudinal score line and the second longitudinal score line; a first lateral sector comprised between the first longitudinal score line and a first longitudinal end (lateral) of the cardboard for packaging; a second lateral sector comprised between the second longitudinal score line and a second longitudinal end (lateral) of the cardboard for packaging.
  • the two longitudinal score lines and the two transversal score lines respectively cross, longitudinally and transversally, the cardboard for packaging and are distanced from one another in such a way as to identify, in the central sector:
  • a main portion which is comprised between the first transversal score line and the second transversal score line and which has dimensions such as to cover the bottom of the article to be boxed; a first lateral portion and a second lateral portion, on opposite sides of the main portion with respect to the first transversal score line and to the second transversal score line.
  • a third lateral portion comprised between the first transversal score line, the second transversal score line, the first longitudinal score line and the first longitudinal end of the cardboard for packaging; a first reinforcing portion and a second reinforcing portion, on opposite sides of the third lateral portion with respect to the first transversal score line and to the second transversal score line.
  • a fourth lateral portion comprised between the first transversal score line, the second transversal score line, the second longitudinal score line and the second longitudinal end of the cardboard; a third reinforcing portion and a fourth reinforcing portion, on opposite sides of the fourth lateral portion with respect to the first transversal score line and to the second transversal score line.
  • the first lateral portion, the second lateral portion, the third lateral portion and the fourth lateral portion have dimensions such as to cover the lateral faces of the article to be boxed.
  • the known method comprises the step of making, using mechanical cutting organs, such as blades or knives:
  • the four incisions are made in such a way as to have a smaller depth with respect to the thickness of the cardboard, i.e. without passing beyond the cardboard from side to side, thus enabling further score lines to be obtained.
  • the machine comprises mechanical cutting organs, such as for example blades or knives, which are predisposed and configured always to carry out a same displacement path, from a prefixed start run position, which must correspond to the intersection points between the two longitudinal score lines and the two transversal score lines, to a prefixed end run position.
  • mechanical cutting organs such as for example blades or knives
  • This aspect constitutes a limit, as in infeed to the machine, for each operating cycle, cardboards for packaging will have to be supplied that all have the same dimensions; otherwise the realisation of the four incisions might take place in an erroneous and imprecise manner, i.e. not in the required positions (i.e. intersection points of the two longitudinal score lines and the two transversal score lines).
  • the machine makes blanks for each operating cycle of the same dimensions, and in the same way.
  • figure 2 is a perspective view illustrating the step of infeeding the cardboard for packaging to the machine of figure 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a part of the machine of figure 1 during a step of the method, also object of the present invention
  • figure 9 is a plan view of detail K of figure 8.
  • FIG. 10 and 1 1 are perspective views of the machine of figure 1 which illustrate the steps of boxing the article with the blank.
  • blank (1 ) is meant a cardboard sheet profiled by die-cutting to give it a determined shape (see figures 7 and 8).
