Abstract

A method and apparatus for repairing superficially damaged glass containers wherein in the superficially damaged regions the grooved and/or scratched locations are filled with synthetic plastics material which penetrates into these locations by virtue of its low surface tension.

Description

SPECIFICATION Method and apparatus for repairing superficially damaged glass containers, particularly scratched glass bottles In the course of time multiple journey bottles become unsightly as a result of scratches at the lower and upper edges of the cylindrical body.
Drink dispensers which set great store on the outward appearance of the bottles separate out such glass bottles in spite of the fact that the bottles are otherwise completely flawless.
It is known, for the protection of bottles and also for purposes of decoration, to provide the bottles with a covering layer of synthetic plastics material. The layer of synthetic plastics material is intended to protect the glass from scratching and prevent the wall of the container from being weakened by the scratch marks. Additionally the covering layer is so selected that it withstands the many demands resulting from multiple re-use of the bottles. However, in this case the glass container is itself protected from scratches but not the synthetic plastics layer. After a number of bottle journeys the synthetic plastics layer becomes unsightly (German Offenlegungsschrift 2 503 813, German Offenlegungsschrift 2 334 466).
In order to prolong the utility of bottles with attractive exteriors it has been proposed to provide the bottles with a special shape in which a narrow projecting buffer collar is arranged at the upper and lower edges of the bottle body.
Although this collar is scratched during use the scratch marks on this collar, because of their confinement to a narrow strip, detract from the appearance of the bottles less than scratch marks which are distributed on the smooth bottle surface over a larger unlimited area.
It is also known to apply to glass containers by means of pressure a synthetic plastics layer which is dissolved or decomposed by the usual washing solutions. This synthetic plastics layer is intended as decoration and replaces labelling with printed sections of foil or paper (German Auslegesschrift 2 558 312).
The object of the invention is to devise a way of extending the use of containers subject to the danger of scratch marks.
According to the invention this object is achieved by a method of repairing superficially damaged glass containers, particularly scratched glass bottles, in that in the superficially damaged regions the pitted and/or scratched parts are filled with a synthetic plastics material which penetrates into these parts as a result of its low surface tension. Preferably the filling takes place in such a way that at least the superficially damaged regions are covered with a thin film of synthetic plastics material (up to 10 y).
Whereas in the known methods the glass container is protected from scratch marks by the synthetic plastics covering layer the invention follows a completely different path in that it permits scratch marks but removes these by means of the thin synthetic plastics layer and thereby restores the attractive exterior of the bottle. Since the bottle is not intended to be protected against scratch marks, but the scratch marks are only to be rendered invisible, all that is required is a relatively extremely thin covering layer of synthetic plastics material. Also the synthetic plastics material is not required to meet any severe demands as regards scratch resistance since the synthetic plastics layer is preferably renewed at each turnround. Although the bottle will usually be completely covered a local layer suffices in the surface regions that are prone to scratching.
The retention of the synthetic plastics film on the bottle can be improved if the synthetic plastics film is applied in a waterproof form. In this embodiment the danger of premature separation is limited to the edge regions. However if the synthetic plastics film is porous water can cause separation over practically the entire surface. The risk of separation can of course be reduced in this case by means of an appropriate adhesive plastics material.
According to a further embodiment of the invention a synethetic plastics material is used which is insoluble in water but dissolves, separates or is decomposed in a washing solution.
Removal of the film then takes place at the same time as cleaning of the container which is required in any event.
Good results have been obtained with a synthetic plastics material which hardens under ultraviolet irradiation.
In order to prevent the outer surface of the container from becoming unsightly as a result of handling after application of the synthetic plastics material, a synthetic plastics material is preferably used which is unaffected by mechanical stresses, more particularly is insensitive to knocks and scratches, As already mentioned, the requirements for such synthetic plastics material do not need to be particularly great because it is preferably renewed each time the bottle is returned.
Because the synthetic plastics material should normally not affect the appearance of the bottle but only render the scratch marks invisible a synthetic plastics material is used which is colourless or which corresponds to the colour of the container.
The application of the synthetic plastics layer can take place in a variety of different ways According to a first embodiment the application is effected by sublimation with a gaseous synthetic plastics material condensing on the container.
According to other embodiments the application takes place by spraying or rolling a liquid plastics material or by dipping the container in a bath of liquid plastics material or by wetting with liquid plastics material. Also synthetic plastics material in paste form can be roiled or painted on.
Before applying the synthetic plastics material and possibly after cleaning has occurred, the container is preferably dried, particularly by the application of heat, in order that the synthetic plastics material can be applied over the entire surface smoothly and free from blisters.
If the thickness of the synthetic plastics layer is not already determined at the time of application it can be adjusted by dripping, blowing, wiping or scraping off. Preferably, drying, in particular by means of UV radiation, takes place after the application or the adjustment of the thickness of the synthetic plastics layer.
An apparatus for carrying out the method for repairing superficially damaged glass containers is characterised by conveyor means which transport the containers individually over a plurality of successive treatment sections whereof the first section has means for drying the bottle surface and the second section has an applicator device for the synthetic plastics layer. A section with a device for drying, in particular hardening of the synthetic plastics layer, may adjoin the second section. As means for drying the first section preferably has nozzles supplied with compressed air. In order to avoid possible retention of moisture on the surface of the container to be coated, it is arranged according to one embodiment of the apparatus that the first section has on its end portion heated rollers on which the cylindrical containers roll themselves.
The drying of wet containers takes place particularly effectively by means of wipers which can be applied to the surface of the containers.
Such pre-drying of the containers preferably takes place before drying by means of compressed air.
The wipers are preferably leaf-shaped and applied in axis-parallel manner to the cylindrical container surfaces. Associated with the containers is a drive which sets the containers in self-rotation so that the entire surface is wiped on the leaf-shaped wipers. Wipers and compressed air nozzles can be arranged on an inlet turret and rotate with the inlet turret.
Suitable conveying means for the first treatment section are a conveying screw and an adjoining inlet turret. Following the inlet turret there is preferably a rotor (turntable with peripherally arranged receiving locations for the containers) as conveying means for the second treatment section.
In order to enable coating of the containers as they pass by the applicator device is advanced synchronously with the containers to be coated.
The applicator device may comprise a plurality of spray heads. So as to enable a directed application of the synthetic plastics material to the container surface each spray head has pulse-adjustable nozzles. The nozzles can be controlled individually or in groups (Siemens Journal, volume 51, No. 4 April 77 pages 219-221). Each spray head can take the form of a batten extending over the height of the container to be coated, whereby the container is associated with a drive, in particular a rotary head or turntable, which sets the container into self-rotation. On self-rotation of the container it is coated on its entire periphery. The spray head may also take the form of a ring which can be moved over the height of the container to be coated.
Instead of spraying on the synthetic plastics material it can be rolled or pressed on. In this case the applicator device comprises a belt extending lengthwise of the treatment section. However, it is also possible for the applicator device to be constructed in the manner of a labelling station whereby the movable rollers or pallets apply the synthetic plastics material to the containers.
The drying devices arranged on the third section are preferably radiators, in particular UV radiators.
Particularly useful is the combination with a labelling machine. In this case no additional transport means need to be provided. The available transport means, in particular the rotor, conveys the bottles to the labelling machine.
The invention is described in more detail below with reference to a drawing. There are shown individually Fig. 1 an apparatus for repairing glass bottles in diagrammatic plan view, Fig. 2 an inlet turret in plan view, Fig. 3 the inlet turret according to Fig. 2 in axial section, Figs. 4 to 7 various embodiments of applicator devices and Fig. 8 a device for drying or hardening.
Bottles 1 to be repaired are conveyed in rows by means of a plate conveyor belt 2 to a first treatment section. In the first portion of this treatment section the conveying means comprises a screw 3 which brings the bottles into mutually spaced relationship. In the second part of the first treatment section the conveying means comprises an inlet turret 4. Adjoining the inlet turret 4 is a rotor 5, i.e. a turntable with a plurality of receiving locations for the bottles 1. The outlet of the apparatus is formed by an outlet turret 6 to which a plate conveyor belt 7 is connected.
The basic construction of this apparatus is known from filling machines for bottles. From these machines it is also known that the bottles can stand on rotary plates and be gripped by heads for setting the bottles into self-rotation.
Because of this known construction a detailed description can be avoided particularly as it is not essential for the method and apparatus according to the invention.
In the embodiment of Fig. 1 there is arranged to both sides of the conveying path a compressed air chamber 8, 9 from which the compressed air is blown against the bottles 1 to be dried by means of blowing nozzles 10, 1 The bottles dried by compressed air then arrive in the inlet turret 4. The inlet turret 4 has a plurality of rotatable heated rollers 12 with resilient peripheral surfaces over which roll the bottles supported externally on a guide rail 1 3. In this way the bottles are heated and residual moisture is removed from their surfaces. The heating also has the effect that no moisture condenses on the surface before application of the synthetic plastics material.
The rotor 5 is arranged under a hood 1 4 to which compressed air is supplied via the compressed air chamber 8. Volatile solvents in the synthetic plastics coating are conducted away together with the supplied compressed air by means of an outlet 15.
In place of the compressed air chambers 8, 9 with the compressed air nozzle 1 0, 11 other means for drying the wet bottles may also be provided. In the case of the embodiment of Figs. 2 and 3 a special inlet turret 4a is provided. This inlet turret has upper and lower support roller pairs 1 6, 1 7 for the bottles. The bottles are pressed against an outer guide 18 by these support roller pairs 1 6, 1 7. On rotation of the inlet turret the bottles 1 carry out a self-rotation.
Associated with each receiving location for a bottle 1 is a leaf-shaped wiper 1 9 which removes liquid from the surface of the bottle 1 by a wiping action. The bottles predried in this way then arrive in the region of the compressed air nozzles 20 which complete the drying process. It is possible to blow warm air through the nozzles in order to heat the bottles. This achieves the same effect as with the heated rollers 14.
As soon as the bottles 1 leave the inlet turret they arrive in the second treatment section 21.
This second treatment section is equipped with one of the applicator devices of Figs. 4 to 7.
The applicator device according to Fig. 4 comprises a plurality of strip-shaped spray heads 23 circulating on a closed path 22 extending internally or externally along the transport path of the bottles. The spray heads 23 move synchronously with the receiving locations of the bottles 1. The bottles 1, which are set into rotation by turntables 26 known per se, remain under the action of the spray heads 23 until the bottle has carried out a rotation through 3600. The spray heads 23 are connected by pipes 24 to a common supply 25 for the synthetic plastics material.
The applicator device of Fig. 5 differs from the applicator device of Fig. 4 in the spray heads. The spray heads 27 according to Fig. 5 are annular and are guided by a lifting cylinder 28 over the whole height of the bottles. As in the embodiment according to Fig. 4 the spray heads can circulate on a closed stationary path and move with the bottles on a portion of the transport path but it is also possible for each receiving location of the bottles to be associated with a spray head. With annular spray heads it is not necessary for the bottles themselves to rotate.
In the embodiment of Fig. 6 the applicator device consists of an elastic band 31 which is trained around rollers 29, 30 and against which the bottles 1 roll themselves. As shown from the gumming roller in labelling machines the synthetic plastics material is applied to the elastic band 31 by means of an applicator roller 32. The thickness of the layer is adjusted by means of a doctor blade 33.
The applicator device of Fig. 7 corresponds in its construction to a large extent to a labelling machine. Applicator elements 34 with concave surfaces are mounted in a rotary carrier 35 for rotation or oscillation. The applicator elements 34 roll against a roller 36 provided with synthetic plastics material in the manner of a gumming roller. The applicator elements so coated with synthetic plastics material on their surfaces then roll on the bottles 1 carrying out a self-rotation and thereby supply the bottles 1. As known from labelling machines, by means of an asymmetrical drive, a corresponding curvature of the coated surface of the applicator element 34 and its mounting, the entire surface of the bottle can be coated without or with relative movement between the bottle and the surface. In this way a uniformly thick coating is achieved.
The bottle coated by one or other of the applicator devices then arrives in the third treatment section 37 to both sides of which are arranged radiators 38, in particular UV radiators, for drying or hardening the synthetic plastics coating. The length of this treatment section depends upon the dwell time required for drying.
As shown in Fig. 1 the rotor 5 has a final treatment section 39. On this final treatment section one or more conventional labelling machines may be arranged.
