Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an outer package for packaged groups of rolls of products (and the method for its production).
  • the present invention is used in particular in the field of forming outer packages for groups of rolls of products, placed on top of one another, such as strips of kitchen or toilet paper.
  • the rolls of product are normally packaged in groups of products in a variety of formats, that is to say, containing a predetermined number of rolls which, for improved manageability and transport, are usually packaged in layers on top of one another (for example packs of 3 ⁇ 3, 4 ⁇ 2, 8 ⁇ 2, etc.).
  • the rolls, stacked in layers by the forming units, are then transferred to a packaging unit which packages them in a material consisting of a web (usually a plastic film) and closes this around the group, using sealing units, both longitudinally and at the front and rear of the group of products.
  • a packaging unit which packages them in a material consisting of a web (usually a plastic film) and closes this around the group, using sealing units, both longitudinally and at the front and rear of the group of products.
  • These groups of products packaged with film are then carried to a handling unit designed to allow the formation of loose batches of groups of products which can be directly positioned on pallets, or batches of groups of products sent to a bagging or overwrapping unit in which two or more groups of products are wrapped in another sheet of heat-sealable film to form a bag containing groups of products having a greater number of products (depending on the manufacturer's requirements).
  • the outer package A of the packs P of rolls of products is currently produced as is clearly shown in FIG. 1 .
  • Said outer package A is produced by the bagging unit which forms the wrapper starting with a flat strip of packaging material film which, by means of special folding elements, is gradually folded over itself to create a tubular shape, supported from inside the wrapper being formed by suitable supporting elements and having longitudinal edges L 1 and L 2 which are drawn near one another.
  • Sealing means positioned in front of the wrapper and angled transversally to the tubular shape allow the wrapper to be sealed transversally to form, one after another, a closed front end T 1 and rear end T 2 . Additional sealing means, angled longitudinally to the wrapper A and opposite the longitudinal edges L 1 and L 2 , close the tubular wrapper A longitudinally with a seal S.
  • the longitudinal sealing means normally consist of a sealing bar, using an air jet, positioned above or at the edges L 1 and L 2 of the film, whilst below these edges L 1 and L 2 a plate is inserted to separate the sealing zone from the individual packs P of groups of products (through the rear part of the wrapper, not yet closed).
  • Such bagging units produce a low number of bags per unit of time compared with the packaging units which seal the groups of products: this is mainly because the sealing steps must be carried out with the edges of the overwrapping film separated or distanced from the packaged groups, to prevent contact between the films which could result in the overwrapping film and the film used for the packs being joined, or deterioration of the film used for the pack.
  • the Applicant has invented and produced an outer package for packaged groups of rolls of products with characteristics which allow a faster step of closing by sealing and without risks of deterioration in the packs of groups of rolls of product inside it.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a known type of outer package for packaged groups or packs of rolls of products
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an outer package for packaged groups or packs of rolls of products in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic front view of the outer package from FIG. 2 ;
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an enlarged detail from FIG. 3 ;
  • FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 are relative schematic perspective views of a sequence of steps of folding and closing the outer package in accordance with the present invention.
  • the outer package labeled 3 as a whole, is used to wrap groups of rolls of products which, in the preferred embodiment illustrated in the accompanying drawings, are preferably toilet or kitchen paper.
  • These groups of products 1 each consist of a plurality of rolls of products, grouped together to constitute a format, and wrapped and closed in a piece of plastic film 2 to form a pack C.
  • the outer package 3 comprises a sheet 4 of film for packaging one or more of the packs C.
  • the sheet can be fed individually or continuously (for example from a reel, not illustrated) then cut to the appropriate size.
  • the sheet 4 can be wrapped around the packs C of products by forming a tubular wrapper with the sheet 4 by gradually folding it in such a way as to obtain a tubular shape with a pair of longitudinal edges 5 and 6 and two external edges 7 and 8 , front T 1 and rear T 2 of the outer package 3 , which can be closed on the packs C by means of seals S 1 , S 2 and S 3 .
  • This sheet 4 of film consists of a material with a heat conducting value A to allow the seals S 1 , S 2 , S 3 to be made.
  • the sheet 4 also has, at least on the edges 9 of its surface 4 a which can be placed opposite the packs C, a zone with heat conducting properties B lower than the afore-mentioned value A and designed to allow, respectively:
  • the presence of the edges 9 with lower heat conductivity allows the seals S 1 , S 2 and S 3 to be made without affecting the film 2 used for the packs C in the seal zones S 1 , S 2 and S 3 .
  • edges 9 of the sheet 4 of film may have zones consisting of a substance with the aforementioned heat conducting values B lower than the heat conducting values A of the rest of the sheet 4 .
  • the sheet 4 of film may consist of two layers 4 a and 4 b, forming the external surface 4 a of the outer package 4 and, respectively, the internal surface 4 b which can be placed opposite the packs C.
  • the internal layer 4 b has the heat conducting values B designed to allow sealing of the edges 5 and 6 and of the end zones S 2 and S 3 of the wings 7 a and 8 a overlapping and close to the packs C.
  • the internal surface 4 b of the sheet 4 of film consists of a substance with the heat conducting values B lower than the heat conducting values A of the upper surface 4 a of the sheet 4 of film.
  • the sheet 4 of film may consist of two separate films 4 a and 4 b, joined together to form the afore-mentioned two layers, where the first film forms the internal surface 4 a with the heat conducting values B lower than the heat conducting values A of the other film 4 a forming the external surface of the sheet 4 of film.
  • the sheet 4 may be fed individually, or continuously from a reel, and may be folded and sealed like the packs it is wrapped around thanks to the presence of the edges 9 or the internal layer or film 4 b which prevents the heat generated from the outside for the sealing from causing a deterioration of or damaging the film 2 used for the packs C.
