Description

I
A method for packaging a product like botanical items in a sleeve as well as a device for packaging a product like botanical items in a sleeve
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a method for packaging a product like botanical items in a sleeve, whereby the sleeve is being opened after which the product is inserted into the opened sleeve.
The invention also relates to device for packaging a product like botanical items in a sleeve.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The to be sleeved products can be botanical items like natural or artificial herbaceous or woody plants, taken singly or in combination. The term "botanical item" also means any portion or portions of natural or artificial herbaceous or woody plants including stems, leaves, flowers, blossoms, buds, blooms, cones, or roots, taken singly or in combination, or in groupings of such portions such as bouquet or floral grouping. The products can also be herbs or other kind of food or feed needed to be sleeved.
A sleeve is considered a cover or any other kind package in which a product like botanical items can be packed.
By such a method and device as known from US5706628A, a potted plant is sorted according to a grade, placed in a decorative cover, then automatically deposited into a protective sleeve. The potted plant thus packaged is ready for containment within a shipping carton.
The protective sleeve is being opened by means of an automatic sleeve opening assembly comprising an inflator tube. Air exiting the inflator tube opens and inflates the sleeve. Subsequently the potted plant is inserted into the opened sleeve.
A disadvantage of this known method and device is that the size of the opening of the opened sleeve must be relatively large with respect to the size of the potted plant to guarantee that the potted plant can be correctly inserted into the opened sleeve and that the potted plant will not deform the sleeve near the opening thereof. Another disadvantage of this known method and device is that especially by sleeves with a relatively thin wall, each subsequently sleeve will not open in the same manner. A further disadvantage that when the plant is being dropped into the opened sleeve, the sleeve may tear uncontrolled from the wickets and may tip over when positioned on a transport belt.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
At Jeast one of the objects of the invention is to provide a method for packaging a product into a sleeve in a more reliable manner.
This object is accomplished with the method according to the invention in that before inserting the product into the opened sleeve, the opened sleeve is inserted into a holder, whereby the opened sleeve is held against walls of the holder under vacuum.
Since the sleeve is being held against the walls of the holder, each opened sleeve has the same position and dimension before the product is being inserted into the sleeve. If the product is for example a potted plant, the size of the pot needs only to be slightly smaller than the size of the sleeve. In this manner the process of inserting a product into a sleeve is better controlled. Furthermore the sleeved product will have a nicer appearance with a sleeve that can be located relatively tight around the product.
An embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the holder comprises at last two holder parts being movable with respect to each other from a closed position wherein the opened sleeve is inserted into the holder to an opened position wherein the sleeved product is removed from the holder.
In this manner the sleeved product can easily be removed from the holder.
Another embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the holder parts are translatable with respect to each other.
This has the advantage that when the holder is for example Jocated above a conveyor, that by moving the holder parts apart, the sleeved product will be directly placed on the conveyor, the moving holder parts will be quickly out of the way of the sleeved product.
Another embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the opened sleeve is inserted into the holder by means of a stamp.
Using a stamp has the advantage that the opened sleeve will be maintained open and that the opened sleeve is inserted into the holder in a controlled manner.
Another embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the stamp has at least partly a similar shape as the walls of the holder.
In this manner the opened sleeve can be pressed against the walls of the holder so that it is guaranteed that the sleeve will be correctly located inside the holder whereby folds in the sleeve are being avoided.
Another embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that a plurality of sleeves are being held above the holder, whereby a first one of the plurality of sleeves is being opened, subsequently the stamp is being inserted into the opened sleeve, whereafter by means of the stamp the opened sleeve is being moved towards and inserted into the holder, whereby the sleeve is being disconnected from the plurality of sleeves.
The plurality of sleeves can be provided at a top with a removable part provided with holes, whereby pens are inserted to the holes to keep the plurality of sleeves in a stacked position. In the stacked position the sleeves are located flat against each other.
The stamp is being used to move the sleeve into the holder as well as to disconnect the opened sleeve from the plurality of sleeves. The removable part will remain connected to the remaining plurality of sleeves. In this manner no additional means are needed to separate the opened sleeve from the plurality of sleeves. The plurality of sleeves can also be stacked without being connected to each other, whereby the each sleeve is provided with a removable part by means of which the sleeve is coneected to the pens.
Another embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the product is placed on a trap door, wherein after the opened sleeve is being inserted into the holder, the trap door is being opened and the products drops into the opened sleeve in the holder.
Using such trap door provides a simple manner to place the product above the holder and to insert the product into the holder at any desired moment.
The invention also relates to a device for packaging a product like botanical items in a sleeve according to the method of the invention. The device comprises means to open a sleeve, means to insert the opened sleeve into a holder, means to maintain the opened sleeve against walls of the holder under vacuum, means to insert the product into the opened sleeve located in the holder.
Since the sleeve is being held against the walls of the holder, each opened sleeve has the same position and dimension before the product is being inserted into the sleeve.
An embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that the holder comprises at last two holder parts being movable with respect to each other from a closed position wherein the opened sleeve can be inserted into the holder to an opened position wherein the sleeved product can be removed from the holder.
In this manner the sleeved product can easily be removed from the holder.
An embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that the holder parts are translatable with respect to each other.
This has the advantage that when the holder is for example located above a conveyor, that by moving the holder parts apart, the sleeved product will be directly placed on the conveyor, the moving holder parts will be quickly out of the way of the sleeved product
An embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that the device comprises a stamp to insert the opened sleeve into the holder. 5 Using a stamp has the advantage that the opened sleeve will be maintained open and that the opened sleeve is inserted into the holder in a controlled manner.
An embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that the stamp has at least partly a similar shape as the walls of the holder.
In this manner the opened sleeve can be pressed against the walls of the holder so that it is guaranteed that the sleeve will be correctly located inside the holder whereby folds in the sleeve are being avoided.
An embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that the device comprises a trap door located above the holder for holding the product in a closed position of the trap door and to drop the product into the opened sleeve in the holder in an opened position of the trap door.
In this manner the opened sleeve can be pressed against the walls of the holder so that it is guaranteed that the sleeve will be correctly located inside the holder whereby folds in the sleeve are being avoided.
An embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that the device comprises a first conveyor to move the to be sleeved product in a direction towards the holder and a second conveyor to move the sleeved product away from the holder.
Using conveyors is a simple manner to transport products to any desired position. When a trap door is being used, the products will be transported by the first conveyor to the trap door and subsequently be dropped into the opened sleeve in the holder.

Figure 1 show a schematic view of a device 1 according to the invention. The device 1 is being used to provide a potted plant 2 with a sleeve. The potted plant 2 comprises a pot 3 and a plant 4 placed in the pot 3.
The device 1 comprises a first conveyor 5 to transport potted plants 2 in a direction indicated by arrow Po to an intermediate support 6. The device 1 comprises means (not shown) to move a potted plant 2 onto the intermediate support 6 and from the intermediate support 6 onto a trap door 7.
Above the trap door 7 a plurality of sleeves 8 are hanging of pens (not shown). The sleeve 8 can be cylindrical, conical or frusto-conical in shape and has an upper opening, which provides anpening for the deposit of the potted plant, other article, therein.
The device comprises a suction cylinder 9 provided with a suction cup 10.
The suction cup 10 is located opposite to a first one of the plurality of sleeves 8.
The device 1 comprises a stamp 11 connected to a pen 12. In the position of the stamp U as shown in figure 1, the stamp 11 is located above the plurality of sleeves 8.
The device 1 comprises a holder 13 provided with two holder parts 14, 15. The holder 13 is located below the trap door 7 and above a second conveyor 16. The device 1 comprises a second conveyor 16 to transport the sleeved potted plants 2 in a direction indicated by arrow Po.
Each holder part 14, 15 is connected to a vacuum source 17 by means of tubes 18 to apply vacuum on perforated walls of the holder parts 14, 15.
The operation of the device 1 will be explained with reference to the drawings 2-8.
Figures 2A-2C are schematic views of a part of the device 1 showing different steps of the opening of a sleeve 8.
Each sleeve 8 is folded together, whereby a first wall 20 and a second wall 21 are Jocated against each other. At their sides the walls 20, 21 are connected to each other. The walls 21 of the plurality of sleeves 8 are each provided with a removable part provided with holes. The removable parts are connected to each other at a top part 22. Such plurality of sleeves 8, also called wicket sleeves, is well known in the art and will not further be described.
To open a sleeve 8, the suction cylinder 9 is being moved in a direction indicated by arrow Pi until the suction cup 10 is located against the wall 20 of the tirst sleeve 8 of the plurality of sleeves 8. Vacuum is applied by the suction cup 10 on the wall 20 of the sleeve 8. See figure 2A.
Subsequently the suction cylinder 9 is being moved in a direction opposite to arrow P1 and indicated by arrow P2 thereby pulling wall 20 away from wall 21 and opening the sleeve 8. See figure 2B.
The suction cylinder 9 is being moved in the direction indicated by arrow P2 until the sleeve 8 is fully opened and an opening 23 is present in the sleeve 8. See figure 2C.
Subsequently as can be seen in the figures 3, 4A-4G the stamp u is being moved by means of pen 12 in a vertical direction indicated by arrow P3 into the opening 23 of the sleeve 8. As can be seen the frusto-conical shape of the stamp 11 corresponds to the frusto-conical shape of the lower side of the sleeve 8.
The trap door 7 is in an opened position so that the pen 12, stamp 11 and sleeve 8 can be moved through the trap door 7 into the holder 13.
As shown in figure 4A, the suction cup 10 keeps the sleeve 8 in the opened position so that the stamp 11 can easily be inserted into the opening 23 of the sleeve 8. In figure 4B the stamp 11 has entered the opening 23 of the sleeve 8. In figure 4C the stamp 11 has reached bottom 24 of the sleeve 8. The sleeve 8 is still connected to the plurality of sleeves 8.
As shown in figure 4D, the stamp 1 is further moved in the direction indicated by arrow P3, whereby the sleeve 8 is torn loose from the top part 22. Also the connection with the suction cup 10 is broken. The first and second holder parts 14, 15 of the holder 13 are positioned against each other.
In figure 4E the stamp 11 with the sleeve 8 has entered the opening 25 of the holder 13. In figure 4F the stamp 11 with the sleeve 8 has reached the bottom of the holder 13. By means of the vacuum source 17 vacuum is applied on perforated walls of the holder parts 14, 15, so that the sleeve 8 will be sucked by the vacuum against the walls of the holder 13. Subsequently the stamp 11 9 is being moved in a direction opposite to arrow P3 and indicated by arrow P4, leaving the sleeve 8 in the holder 13.
Figures 5A-6 show the placement of the potted plant 2 from the conveyor 5 onto the trap door 7.
As shown in figure 5A, the potted plant 2 is pushed by a means of a pusher (not shown) from the conveyor 5 in a direction indicated by arrow P5 onto the intermediate support 6.
The trap door 7 comprises two parts 26, 27 as can be seen in figure 6, each having a semi-circular shape. The pot 2 comprises a circumferential flange 28. The diameter of the semi-circular shapes of the parts 26, 27 of the trap door 7 is smaller than the diameter of the circumferential flange 28 so that the pot 2 can rest with the circumferential flange 28 on the parts 26, 27 of the trap door 7.
As shown in figure 5B the potted plant 2 is pushed further in the direction indicated by arrow P5 from the intermediate support 6 between the parts 26, 27 of the trap door 7.
In the position as shown in figure 5C the potted plant 2 is pushed even further in the direction indicated by arrow Ps, whereby the pot 2 rests with the circumferential flange 28 on the parts 26, 27 of the trap door 7.
In figure 5D the pusher (not shown) has been moved back to its initial position to be able to push the next potted plant 2 onto the intermediate support 6.
Figures 7A-7D show the placement of the potted plant 2 from the trap door 7 into the holder 12.
As can be seen in figure 7A, the potted plant 7 rests on the trap door 7 located above the holder 13. In the holder 13 the opened sleeve 8 is located.
Next, the parts 26, 27 of the trap door 7 are being pivoted in the directions indicated by arrows P6, P7 until the parts 26, 27 of the trap door 7are in a vertical position {see figure 7C). The trap door 7 is now in its opened position. The potted plant 2 will drop under the force of gravity in a direction indicated by arrow P8 into the sleeve 8 in the holder 13. See figures 7B-7C.
As shown in figure 8, after the potted plant 2 is inserted in the sleeve 8 in the holder 13, the holder parts 14, 15 are being moved away from each other. The sleeved potted plant 2 rest on the conveyor 16 and will be moved by means of the conveyor 16 in a direction indicated by arow p9 (see figure 3).
The parts 26, 27 of the trap door 7 are being pivoted in direction opposite to arrows P6, P7 and indicated by arrows Pio, Pu until the parts 26, 27 of the trap door 7 are in a horizontal position (see figure 6). The trap door 7 is now again in its initial closed position.
It is possible to use other means to insert the product into the sleeve 8 located inside the holder 13.
It is also possible to seal the opening 23 of the sleeve 8 after the product is inserted into the sleeve 8.
It is also possible that the parts 26, 27 of the trap door 7 form a platform when the trap door 7 is closed, whereby the product to be sleeved will rest on the platform before being dropped into the sleeve. The product can be for example herbes or spices. After being dropped into the sleeve, the stamp can be used to press the herbes or spices into the sleeve to reduce the volume thereof.
It is also possible to provide the holder with more than two holder parts.
It is also possible to provide the trap door wit only one part or more than two parts.
The combination of the holder and the movable stamp provides a simple and reliable device for opening a sleeve and inserting a product therein.
However, it is also possible to deliver the sleeves in another manner to the holder, like manually or by means of a robot.
The sleeve 8 can be made of any suitable material like plastic foils, paper, fabric.
The sleeve 8 can have a wall thickness of 35-50 micrometer, for example.
It is also possible to provide other products with a sleeve 8 by means of the device 1 of the invention.
