Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a device for pasting certificate stamps, revenue stamps, seals, etc. onto boxes, particularly cubic cigarette boxes.

[Prior Art] It is common practice to affix certificate stamps, revenue stamps, seals, etc. (hereinafter referred to as certificate stamps) to cigarette boxes and other boxes.

In the case of rectangular cigarette boxes, these stamps have different dimensions and are placed in very different places, but usually at least one part of the stamp is attached to one end of the box. However, the other parts are bent and attached to the sides, front and rear. Stamp adhesion is an important problem in high speed, high performance cigarette packaging machines.

In conventionally known devices, certificate stamps cut to a predetermined size are pulled out from a magazine and sent to a clamping turret.
The clamping turret clamps one end edge of the certificate stamp using a clamping tool, transports it to the box, and attaches the certificate stamp to the box. During this intermediate transport of the stamp, the stamp is glued to its outwardly facing outer surface. Also, as is known, the gluing is carried out by means of a rotating gluing segment which each time takes a dose of glue from the glue container.

The (cigarette) boxes to which the stamps are attached are conveyed on a straight horizontal box track below the clamping turret. At predetermined time intervals, the clamping turret conveys the stamp onto the top of the box, usually the front or back, at the application location.
In the case of certificate stamps that extend to other sides of the box, the protruding parts of the certificate stamp attached by the clamping turrets are then folded.

However, this known device has the disadvantage in terms of size and arrangement that only a few types of certificate stamps can be applied by means of the clamping turret. For example, it is not possible to apply a so-called certificate strip that extends over the entire length of the end face and onto the adjacent sides.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device that can affix all types of certificate stamps that may be encountered in practice at various positions on a box at high speed and without error.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A device for pasting certificate stamps on cube-shaped cigarette boxes, etc. according to the present invention includes a rotary box conveying device having a plurality of pockets, each of which receives one cigarette box; The box transfer turret transports the box to the clamping turret or the pasting location, and the cigarette box inserted into the pocket of the box transfer turret has the side on which the certificate stamp is attached facing outward in the radial direction. Features.

Therefore, the basic idea of the present invention is to provide a separate box carrying and holding device for attaching certificate stamps, thereby satisfying the special conditions for attaching certificate stamps, that is, to ensure accurate and efficient attachment of certificate stamps. Hold the box in a condition that allows for application.

When the box is placed in the transport turret with its end face facing outward in the radial direction, the end face of the box protrudes outside the box transport turret, and the certificate stamp is attached to the exposed end face.
In that case, one tab projects beyond the end face of the box (or beyond the other side of the box) in the circumferential or axial direction of the box transport turret, depending on the type of stamp. This tab is bent by a suitable stationary folding member during the subsequent transport of the box, in particular when it is pushed into the discharge track.

The clamping turret for transporting the stamps from the magazine to the box transport turret can be of various constructions and can be adapted in particular to the unique relative positions of the stamps. When handling certificate stamp strips (certificate stamps shown in FIG. 1), a receiving seat for the certificate stamp strip is provided on the clamping turret. This seat extends in the axial direction, and the certificate strip is fixed on this seat by suction in addition to or instead of the clamp.

Further, a gluing device for applying a predetermined glue to the certificate stamp is provided on the clamping turret.
