Description

1 2533884

  The invention relates to a method for filling boxes with flat products fed continuously one after the other, including framed slides. Such devices are used, for example, in slide framing machines.

  developed film ribbons are cut into individual images

  The boxes containing the slides are then put in boxes which are then sent to each ordering party. Naturally, each box contains only framed slides corresponding to a specific film. It is known to put directly in the box flat products transported one after the other continuously on a transport facility, and this, for example, so that it forms in the box a horizontal position stack It is necessary for this purpose to lower each time, after the introduction of a flat product, the box disposed of field of an amount corresponding to the thickness of the flat product just put in place.

  in place, in order to make possible the establishment of the

  These devices are very expensive.

  An additional disadvantage of the type of

  known filling lies in the fact that the whole of the

  Positive coaching must be stopped when a box full

  must be replaced by an empty box.

  The problem underlying the invention is to improve the method and the device of the type indicated above so as to be able to substantially increase the operating speed and that this operating speed as well as the

  rate of the installations upstream of the filling

  are not limited by the filling device.

  The problem is solved by means of a method characterized in that the continuously fed flat products are pre-stacked to form a group before the filling phase and the intermediate stack thus formed is transported in the direction of the box at such a speed. that the formation of a new intermediate cell, by the following flat products arriving continuously, is not

not hindered.

  The device designed to achieve this

  is characterized in that between a transport facility for the supply of flat products, continuously and one after the other, and an inbox of these flat products, it is expected, below

  the end of the transport facility, an installation

  an intermediate stack from which an intermediate stack can be fed to the box via a filling device having a funnel-like effect.

  First forming an interstitial battery

  mediate from flat products brought continuously and then put this intermediate stack at once in the boot, allows in each intermediate period is to shift a compartment of a compartment comprising several compartments, or to present an empty box without have to interrupt the continuous feeding of the flat products to the intermediate stacking plant The process according to

  the invention and the corresponding device are particularly

  are appropriate when boxes, respectively

  boxes (in the case of multi-compartment boxes)

  timents), are brought to the individual installation.

  In a particular embodiment

  of the invention, the intermediate stacking installation has four receiving surfaces arranged in a crisscross axis around a joint so that it can be rotated by saccade and a guiding device for

  flat products on the opposite side of the

  As the intermediate stack formed on the upper receiving surface has reached the desired height, the intermediate stack installation of 900 is rotated.

  on the one hand, a new

  receiving surface for the formation of a new intermediate stack and secondly the intermediate stack formed is put in a box by moving a plane

  horizontally stacked at a vertical plane because of the

900.

  With an interstage stacking system

  mounted on rotation and operated by a trainer

  In the case of the Maltese Cross, it is possible to pivot the receiving surfaces of this stacking installation.

  intermediary is so abruptly

  laying, without interruption, an empty receiving surface for the formation of a new intermediate stack, even

  with high-speed arrival of flat products

  transported. Preferably the guiding device is in the form of a guide plate which is disposed in its portion above the upper horizontal receiving surface, obliquely towards the transport installation, and is folded below this receiving surface in the direction of the receiving boot Thus it is realized, particularly

  a simple guiding installation that includes installations

  guidance in the area of formation of the intermediate stack and acts in the area between the installation

  intermediate stack and the box, as an installation

  Funnel guide section The funnel counterpart "is formed by the receiving surface, which is each time pivoted from the position of the funnel.

  Other details, characteristics and

  advantages of the invention result from the description

after drawing in annex.

We have shown

  in FIG. 1, a schematic side view

  of a device according to the invention in FIG. 2, a view from above

  schematic on the device according to Figure 1.

  In the embodiment described above,

  after that, it is a device by means of which

  flat blanks 2, for example framed slides, brought one after the other, in a continuous manner, on a transport path 1 according to the arrow A from a framing installation (not represented), are dumped

  in a box or container 3 The entire device

  A frame is shown schematically that parts 4,5 and 6 the box 3 is brought on a transport path 7 with side limitations 8 and 9, in the direction of the arrow B is shown in FIG 2 a

  empty box, which is designated by 3 'and which is subdi-

  referred to by an intermediate spacer 10 in compartments 3 a 'and 3 b' The transport installation 7 for the supply of

  boxes consists of an endless conveyor belt.

  Electromagnets-11 and 12 with cores 13 and 14 are arranged laterally. As can be seen in FIG.

  moving a box can be stopped below -

  the filling installation by advancing a core (for example the core 13) in the zone of displacement of the box 3 and thus blocking the box In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the box 3 can be blocked under the filling installation so that a compartment (3a, 3b) can be filled each

  times with framed slides.

  5. The transport facility 1 presents

  side limitations 15 and 16 and driver cleats

  (not shown) in a median slit 17, at

  with the help of which framed slides 2 are

  In the direction of the arrow A near the end of the transport installation 1, there is a transport wheel 18.

  transport 1 is located an internal filling plant

  A medium generally designated 19, to which is connected a filling installation generally designated by the intermediate stacking installation has four receiving surfaces 22, 23, 24 and 25 in the form of a cross, arranged so as to be able to rotate in rhythm around of a common axis 21 in the direction of the arrow C and which are each provided with extensions, 22a, 23a, 24a and 25a, oriented outwardly This device can rotate rhythmically by saccades of 900 each time in the direction of the arrow C via a Maltese Cross drive (not shown) A guide system designated 26, and fixed at 27, is in the form of a guide plate, which has a portion 26 extending obliquely towards the transport facility 1 and, under the receiving surface 22, so in the vicinity of the receiving surface

  23 in a vertical position, a portion 29 folded in a direction

box 3.

  The operation of the device is as follows The framed 2 trained slides

  one behind the other continuously on the installation

  transport 1, are brought to the stacking plant.

  19 and form a stack 30 in a horizontal position

  When a given pile height is reached, the intermediate stacking installation pivots in a single stroke of 900 according to the arrow C by actuation by the Maltese Cross drive. stack 30 passes from the horizontal position to a vertical position and falls into the box 3 through the zone 31 The box 3 whose first compartment is already filled (stack 30 ') is disposed under the individual installation so that the zone 3 a is free, so that the stack 30 can fall into the free compartment of this boot During the pivoting movement and the falling movement, the stack 30 is guided by the guide device 29 which produces a funnel effect in its lower portion 29 The receiving surface 22, which, after the pivoting of 900, takes the position of the receiving surface designated 23 in the drawing, acts as a "counter-part" of the funnel formed in the area 31 The surfa This receiving end, designated 25 in FIG. 1, takes a horizontal position after pivoting, so that a new intermediate stack can now be formed on this receiving surface 25 projecting ends a, 24 a, etc. in each case constitute a limitation in front of the guiding device 26 for the intermediate stack 30. The pivoting of the intermediate stacking installation 19, and the subsequent insertion of the intermediate stack into the box, as well as the provision of a new receiving surface for the formation of a next intermediate stack, is carried out at such a speed that there is no need to interrupt the continuous supply, according to arrow A, the following framed slides 2 on the transport equipment The following boxes, respectively of a following container space according to the arrow B, can be made available during the

  formation of each intermediate stack.
