Definitions

  • the innovation relates to an installation for producing folded labels.
  • An installation for producing folded labels of the type mentioned in the introduction is known from U.S. Pat. No. 6,432,235 B.
  • the installation contains a dispenser for a strip of labels, and this is followed by a folding station for forming at least one fold in the label strip.
  • the folding station is followed by a fixing station for fixing the fold, and a fixing station is followed by a buffer station for the folded label, the buffer station leading into a cutting station which serves for cutting off individual folded labels from the label strip.
  • the object of the innovation is to improve an installation for producing folded labels.
  • Significant advantages are achieved by a first conveying arrangement being provided between the dispenser and the folding station and a second conveying arrangement being provided downstream of the fixing station, it being possible for these conveying arrangements to be operated intermittently by means of the control unit.
  • the intermittent movement makes it possible to bring the folded label strip to a standstill in the fixing station, as a result of which the fixing station may be equipped with a raiseable and lowerable pressing ram which, with the label strip at a standstill, can subject the folded label strip to a pressure of any desired magnitude. This ensures optimum fixing of the folded label strip even in the case of a label strip of fluctuating thickness.
  • the two conveying arrangements also allow the conveying speeds of the conveying arrangements to be adjusted optimally in relation to one another, so that it is possible to compensate for changes in length during the fixing operation by corresponding adaptation of the conveying speed, in particular of the second conveying arrangement.
  • the label strip thus runs through the folding and fixing stations with optimum tensioning at all times, as a result of which the fixing operation, and thus the quality of the folded label strips, can be significantly improved.
  • a particularly advantageous configuration is that it is possible to regulate the second conveying arrangement relative to the first conveying arrangement, so that it can compensate for a positive change in length of the label strip during treatment, for example, by means of increasing its conveying action.
  • the cutting arrangement is equipped with a third conveying arrangement, which can be driven, and brought to a standstill, in accordance with the length of the label which is to be cut off.
  • An advantageous configuration of the conveying arrangement is that it is formed by a pair of rollers, of which at least one roller can be driven. Pairs of rollers allow the label strip to be conveyed in a reliable manner without slipping.
  • FIGURE shows the diagram of an installation for producing folded labels.
  • the single FIGURE shows an installation for producing folded labels 2 .
  • It contains a dispenser 4 in the form of a supply roll of the strip 6 of labels which is to be folded.
  • the strip, and thus the labels may consist of a wide variety of different materials. A material which can be melted, for example polyester, is preferred.
  • the label strip may be a straightforward strip of flat material, but it is preferably a woven label strip.
  • the labels contain a wide variety of different information, for example pictures, numbers, text and the like, which may be printed on or preferably interwoven.
  • the label strip 6 is drawn off from the supply roll by means of a first conveying arrangement 8 made up of a pair of rollers 10 a , 10 b of which one roller can be driven.
  • a second conveying arrangement 12 which is likewise formed from a pair of rollers 10 a , 10 b , draws the label strip 6 , in the first instance, through a folding station 14 , in which the label strip 6 has at least one fold formed in it.
  • This folding can take place, for example, along the center line of the strip.
  • foldings along the periphery regions and further folding variants are also possible, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,432,235 B.
  • the folded label strip is then conveyed, by means of the second conveying arrangement 12 , through the fixing station 16 , which in this case is formed, for example, from the non-obligatory preheating means 18 and from the pressing-action thermofixing arrangement 20 which follows.
  • the thermofixing arrangement 20 contains a heated base plate 22 via which a likewise heated pressing ram 24 can be pressed by means of a lifting arrangement 26 against the folded label strip 6 located on the base plate 22 .
  • the second conveying arrangement 12 is followed by a buffer station 28 , which forms a strip supply 30 , in order for a sufficient strip supply to be available in the following cutting station 32 , which likewise operates intermittently.
  • the cutting station contains a third conveying arrangement 33 which is made up of a pair of rollers 10 a , 10 b and conveys the label strip to a cutting arrangement 34 , which operates, for example, on the basis of the ultrasonic principle.
  • the cutting arrangement 34 then servers individual labels 2 from the label strip 6 , and these labels are collected, for example, in a stacking arrangement 36 .
  • A, for example, optically operating sensor 38 serves for determining the length of a label 2 , in order for the label strip 6 to be presented to the cutting arrangement 34 , by means of the third conveying arrangement 33 , in the length which is necessary for a label 2 .
  • the installation contains a control unit 40 which controls the individual components of the installation.
  • the control unit 40 is connected to the first conveying means 8 , for example, via the control line 42 .
  • a control line 44 serves for controlling the preheating means 18 .
  • a control line 46 serves for controlling the heating means of the thermofixing arrangement 20 .
  • a control line 48 connects the control unit 40 to the lifting arrangement 26 in order to bring the pressing ram 24 into abutment against the folded label strip 6 with the correct timing and the desired pressing force.
  • a further control line 50 connects the control unit 40 to the second conveying arrangement 12 , not just to drive the latter with the same timing as the first conveying arrangement 8 , but, if need be, to cause the second conveying arrangement to operate with increased conveying action in order to compensate for changes in tensioning of the label strip 6 during the treatment.
  • the third conveying arrangement 33 is connected to the control unit 40 via the control line 52 and receives its drive pulses via the sensor 38 , which is coupled to the control unit 40 via the control line 54 .
  • the third conveying arrangement is brought to a standstill, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the operation of the cutting arrangement 34 is initiated via the control line 56 , in order to sever the corresponding label 2 from the label strip 6 .
