Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packages formed by a plurality of rolls wrapped within a protective wrapping; these packages are obtained by a wrapping machine.
  • packages formed by wrapping machines includes group of rolls in which the rolls are arranged in one or two layers: each layer is formed by two or more rows (for example three, four or five rows), and each row includes one or more rolls (for example up to five rolls).
  • the rolls disposed in the above mentioned layers are arranged horizontally (BR and KR types) or vertically (only the BR type).
  • the wrapping is formed by a sheet of synthetic resin; the wrapping machine enfolds the sheet in tubular form around the package of rolls, so as to overlap the longitudinal edges of the sheet, which are later heat-welded.
  • the bagging machines are slower, more complicated and less flexible with respect to the wrapping machines; moreover the protective wrapping is a bag, thus it is different from the wrapping obtained by the wrapping machines.
  • the width and depth of the packages obtained by the wrapping machines depend respectively on the number of rows, on the number of rolls in each row, and obviously, on the diameter and axial extension (length) of each roll.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a package, obtained by a wrapping machine, which package is formed in such a way, as to contain more rolls with respect to known packages, while keeping the same number of rows of rolls, keeping the same number of rolls for row and with the same roll dimensions.
  • Another object of the present invention is to propose a package which allows an increase of the production rate obtained by the wrapping machine.
  • a further object of the present invention is to propose a package which fulfills the previous objects using also pressed rolls.
  • a package of rolls obtained by a wrapping machine including a group of rolls composed of at least three layers of rolls, situated one over another; a sheet wrapped in tubular form around the group of rolls for wrapping the group of rolls, with the longitudinal edges of said sheet overlapped and heat-welded, and with the wings of each head of the sheet being folded against the rolls and then stabilized by heat-welding.
  • the package is obtained by a method including: forming of a group of rolls composed of at least three layers of rolls, situated one over another; wrapping of said group of rolls within a heat-weldable sheet in tubular form, with the relative longitudinal edges of the sheet being overlapped; inward folding of the vertical wings of the heads of the sheet against the rolls; heat-welding of said longitudinal edges performed in time relation with said folding, inward folding of the horizontal wings of said heads, so as to make the latter match with the previous, already folded, vertical wings, performed in time relation with the edges heat-welding; stabilization of the folded wings of said heads by heat-welding.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the proposed package
  • FIG. 1A is a front schematic view of the package of FIG. 1, in a reduced scale with respect to FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 2 and 4 show perspective views of other embodiments of the proposed package
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B show a front and lateral view of a further embodiment of the package.
  • the general reference number 1 indicates a group of rolls R (e.g. of BR type), arranged horizontally and formed by three layers Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 .
  • each layer is defined by five rows F 1 , F 2 , F 3 , F 4 , F 5 of rolls, and each row is formed by five rolls R.
  • the package is obtained by a wrapping machine which wraps the group of rolls within a sheet 2 (film) of synthetic resin (e.g. heat-weldable material).
  • synthetic resin e.g. heat-weldable material
  • the sheet is in tubular form with relative longitudinal edges 3 A, 3 B heat-welded (FIG. 1A).
  • the four wings 4 A, 4 B, 4 C, 4 D of each head are folded inwards (first the vertical wings are folded and later, in suitable time relation with the previous folding and heat-welding of the wings, the horizontal wings are folded and overlap the vertical ones), to touch the rolls.
  • the package C 1 is defined by the group of rolls 1 and the sheet 2 wrapping it.
  • the characterizing aspect is that of proposing a package obtained by a wrapping machine, formed by at least three layers Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 , situated one over another.
  • rows there are five rows; it is understood the rows can be less (one to four rows) or more than five.
  • FIG. 2 shows a group 10 of rolls R*, of KR type, arranged horizontally; the group is formed by at least three layers Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 , situated one over another.
  • each layer is defined by five rows F 1 , F 2 , F 3 , F 4 , F 5 of rolls R* and each row includes three rolls.
  • the group of rolls 10 includes the same number of rows and the same number of rolls R* for row, as the group of rolls 1 .
  • the group of rolls 10 is obtained by a wrapping machine, therefore it is wrapped within a sheet 20 in the same way as described and illustrated with reference to the sheet 2 wrapping the group of rolls 1 of FIG. 1.
  • the package C 2 is defined by the group of rolls 10 and the sheet 20 wrapping it.
  • FIGS. 3A, 3B shows a group 30 of rolls R 1 , of BR type, arranged horizontally.
  • the group of rolls 30 like the previous groups of rolls 1 , 10 , includes at least three layers Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 , situated one over another.
  • Each of the rolls R 1 is press-squashed, on planes parallel to the related axis, in order to reduce their dimensions with respect to the traditional rolls.
  • the group of rolls 30 is produced by a wrapping machine which wraps it within a sheet 40 , in order to define another embodiment C 3 of the package, proposed by the invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows a group 50 of rolls R 2 , of BR type, arranged vertically. This group of rolls is composed of at least three layers Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 , situated one over another.
  • each layer is formed by five rows K 1 , K 2 , K 3 , K 4 with each row obtained by putting the parallel rolls R 2 close to each other.
  • the number of rows can be less or more than five, and likewise, the number of rolls for each row.
  • the group of rolls 50 is formed by a wrapping machine which wraps it within a wrapping of a sheet 60 , which is folded and stabilized, in the same way as the sheets 1 , 20 , 40 of the previous packages C 1 , C 2 , C 3 .
  • a further embodiment C 4 of the proposed package is obtained by the group of rolls 50 and the sheet 60 .
  • the group of rolls 1 , 10 , 30 , 50 can be formed by using any method or apparatus, e.g. an oscillating delivery device, which oscillates between three levels. A layer of rolls is discharged at each level upon an elevator. Otherwise, an elevator with variable stroke is used, which cooperates with mechanical stop devices holding first one layer of rolls and then, two layers situated one over each other, so that another layer ca be formed on the elevator. This last layer pushes and raises the two previously formed layers.
  • an oscillating delivery device which oscillates between three levels.
  • a layer of rolls is discharged at each level upon an elevator. Otherwise, an elevator with variable stroke is used, which cooperates with mechanical stop devices holding first one layer of rolls and then, two layers situated one over each other, so that another layer ca be formed on the elevator. This last layer pushes and raises the two previously formed layers.
  • the proposed package contains more rolls with respect to known packages, having rolls with the same shape, width and depth. This influences positively the wrapping machine production rate; this positive aspect results from the fact that the group of rolls included within the package includes at least three layers of rolls, situated one over another.
  • Another advantage derives from the fact that the proposed package is obtained by wrapping machines, which form a group of rolls faster and in an extremely flexible way, with respect to bagging machines.
  • the present invention provides a package obtained by a wrapping machine, in which a group of rolls includes at least three layers of rolls of BR or KR type, with horizontal or vertical axis, possibly press-squashed.
