Definitions

  • the description relates to containers and to the corresponding production methods.
  • containers which comprise a containment body with a mouth or neck part that can be reclosed with a top or lid and in which the container carries applied thereon a tubular sleeve of film material shrunk on the container.
  • the sleeve in question is formed by a film of heat-shrinkable material.
  • the sleeve thus fitted on the container is then exposed to a source of heat.
  • the heat brings about radial shrinkage or contraction of the sleeve; consequently, between the sleeve and the container a stable shape fit is obtained such as to cause the sleeve to be fixedly anchored on the container.
  • FIG. 7 of the annexed drawings is a schematic illustration of a container of the above sort, designated as a whole by 10 .
  • the container 10 (which may, for example, be made of a material such as glass or moulded plastic) has a main axis of extension X 10 and comprises a containment part or body 12 with a mouth or neck part 14 .
  • the part 14 terminates in a mouth portion, which is, for example, threaded and enables closing of the container 10 with a top or lid.
  • the mouth or neck part 14 terminates with a mouth or opening, which extends along a path that is as a whole circular—for example, smooth or possibly indented—lying in a mouth plane 140 oriented in a direction transverse with respect to the main axis X 10 .
  • the sleeve designated by 16 , usually bears graphics 18 (for example, figures and/or wordings of various nature, which represent the product contained in the container 10 ).
  • FIG. 7 highlights the fact that, even though the sleeve 16 does not necessarily have a cylindrical shape (in the example illustrated it has in fact an as a whole ogival shape), it has two end edges 16 a, 16 b which extend along circular paths lying in two respective planes, ⁇ and ⁇ , which are transverse (orthogonal) with respect to the main axis X 10 of the container 10 .
  • the two end edges 16 a, 16 b illustrated in FIG. 7 extend along paths having, throughout their circular development, a constant distance (D 1 for the edge 16 a and D 2 for the edge 16 b ) from the mouth plane 140 .
  • a sleeve like the one considered previously is suited to being fitted on the container according to any spatial orientation. This applies both in the case where the container presents a complete symmetry of rotation (for example, because it is cylindrical) and in the case where the container has a prismatic structure (for example, with hexagonal cross section) or a squeezed structure. In the latter case, wordings or figures appearing on the sleeve that ought to correspond to the main faces of the squeezed body end up being shifted/rotated and hence not readily visible/readable by whoever looks at the container to see what appears on one of the main faces of the flattened body.
  • Substantially similar problems may arise, for example, when the container is set, together with other containers, in a transparent pack or a pack with window in conditions where it would be desirable for the containers set alongside one another to present all the respective graphics of the sleeve in the same spatial position, and not distributed in a disorderly way from container to container.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a solution of the above sort.
  • the invention also regards a corresponding container.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 represent successive steps of a method according to one embodiment, FIG. 4 being a view according to the line IV-IV of FIG. 3 ;
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate the characteristics of a container according to embodiments.
  • FIG. 7 has already been described previously.
  • an embodiment or “one embodiment” in the framework of the present description indicates that a particular configuration, structure, or characteristic described in relation to the embodiment is comprised in at least one embodiment.
  • phrases such as “in an embodiment” or “in one embodiment” that may be present in different points of this description do not necessarily refer to one and the same embodiment.
  • particular conformations, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any adequate way in one or more embodiments.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate two of the steps of production of sleeves 16 designed to be applied on a container 10 corresponding in general terms, except where otherwise indicated, to the solution already considered previously with reference to FIG. 7 .
  • the sleeves 16 illustrated in FIG. 2 bear (obtained according to known criteria) graphics 18 , here represented by way of example in the form of two letters “F” designed to appear on opposite faces of the sleeve 16 , as may be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6 .
  • the sleeves 16 are obtained starting from a shrinkable-film material, such as for example, heat-shrinkable material.
  • a shrinkable-film material such as for example, heat-shrinkable material.
  • reference will be made for simplicity to use of a heat-shrinkable material.
  • shrinkable materials the shrinking characteristics of which, used for purposes of application of the sleeves 16 , are achieved with different criteria, for example by photo shrinkage.
  • Heat-shrinkable materials that can be used to produce the sleeves 16 are, for example, films of PET, OPS (oriented polystyrene), or PVC.
  • the heat-shrinking characteristics are obtained by subjecting a film material of this type to a uni-axial or bi-axial stretching with subsequent controlled cooling. Following upon cooling, the film material preserves the extended condition but, when it is then exposed to a source of heat, the effect of heating gives rise to a sort of “shape memory” mechanism such as to cause the film material to shrink towards the original non-extended condition that it had before undergoing stretching.
  • a film material of this sort is initially produced in a semi-finished tubular length 160 .
  • the semi-finished tubular length 160 is obtained by folding in a V a web body, which is then reclosed to form a tube by gluing on one another the distal edges of the configuration folded in a V.
  • the semi-finished tubular length 160 in the form of web is fed to a cutting station 200 designed to subject the semi-finished tubular length 160 itself to an operation of segmentation, which leads to formation of a chain of sleeves 16 designed to be then applied on successive containers 10 .
  • the cutting station 200 can be provided in the form of a dinking machine of the type with counter-rotating rotary cutting roller and counter-roller (or anvil), which is able to subject the semi-finished tubular length 160 to an operation of providing slits obtained by cutting away of the area of the slits, with consequent segmentation in successive sleeves 16 produced in such a way as not to interrupt the continuity of the material of the semi-finished tubular length 160 .
  • the sleeves 16 leaving the cutting station 200 are still connected together in a chain and can hence be fed to the station where they are applied on the containers 10 (see FIG. 3 ) preserving a general continuous-web structure.
  • this result can be obtained by causing the dinking machine 200 to carry out on the semi-finished tubular length of shrinkable material 160 an operation of formation of slits with a pitch corresponding to the height of the sleeves 16 .
  • the dinking machine 200 forms in the semi-finished tubular length 160 openings or slits 202 , which, in the example of embodiment illustrated herein, assume a shape that can be roughly defined as “eyelid shape”. Hence, they are openings or windows delimited, on one side, by a rectilinear cut and, on the opposite side, by an arched cut.
  • each sleeve 16 is designed to form in each sleeve 16 the homologous end edges designated precisely by 16 a and 16 b in FIGS. 5 and 6 : this explains why said references appear also in FIG. 2 .
  • FIG. 2 and FIGS. 5 and 6 it may likewise be appreciated that the cutting operation carried out in the station 200 is performed “in phase” with the graphics 18 , in such a way that each sleeve 16 presents the graphics 18 in a pre-set position with respect to its end edges 16 a and 16 b.
  • the sleeves 16 that leave the cutting unit 200 are, however, by now connected together in a chain at end connecting portions 16 c, which are not involved in the cutting action performed in the station 200 .
  • the sleeves 16 are designed to be fitted on the individual container 10 on the top part, i.e., in a position corresponding or adjacent to the mouth or neck part 14 : this choice is not, on the other hand, limiting or imperative for the purposes of implementation of the embodiments.
  • a conveyor 208 for example, by a motor-driven belt conveyor, a worm conveyor, a carousel, or a star wheel, they are at least in part opened out starting from the flattened condition of formation.
  • opening-out is carried out by causing the chain of the sleeves 16 to drop on an opening device 210 , which can have, for example, a circular cross section, which penetrates (obviously, the movement involved is a relative movement, in so far as it is here assumed that the chain of sleeves 16 drops from above downwards, with the body 210 held in a fixed position) within the cavity of the tubular structure of the sleeves 16 , bringing about gradual opening out thereof.
  • an opening device 210 can have, for example, a circular cross section, which penetrates (obviously, the movement involved is a relative movement, in so far as it is here assumed that the chain of sleeves 16 drops from above downwards, with the body 210 held in a fixed position) within the cavity of the tubular structure of the sleeves 16 , bringing about gradual opening out thereof.
  • the motor-driven rollers 204 hence draw the chain of sleeves 16 from above downwards causing it to drop on the opening device 210 .
  • each individual sleeve 16 is thus opened out to form a cylinder and subjected to the action of cutting means 212 (for example with rotary-disk blade) designed to cut the connecting portions 16 c.
  • the sleeve 16 thus separated from the web-like chain of which it previously formed part, assumes the nature of single body, independent of the chain from which it is formed, and is then further drawn along by the rollers 204 so as to be transferred and fitted on a respective container 10 arriving (from left to right, as viewed in FIG. 3 ) on the conveyor 208 .
  • the containers 10 can advance towards the area where transfer of the sleeves 16 inserted in respective tubular templates 201 (represented dashed in FIG. 3 ) is envisaged, each of which has a top edge having a profile complementary to the profile of the edge 16 b of the sleeve 16 .
  • the top edge of the template 201 serves as rest for the sleeve 16 , thus preventing the latter from slipping in an uncontrolled way on the container 10 .
  • the movement of descent of the sleeves 16 and the movement of advance of the containers 10 towards the station 206 occurs continuously, without any stops, there being envisaged an electronic synchronization between the rollers 204 that fit the sleeves on the containers 10 and the conveyor 208 that conveys the containers 10 .
  • the provision of synchronizations of this type is well known in the automatic-packaging sector, and renders any further more detailed description superfluous herein.
  • the sleeves 16 have:
  • a top edge 16 a which—as in the case of the container 10 represented in FIG. 7 —extends according to a plane circular path, lying in a plane ⁇ , which is a plane transverse (orthogonal) to the main axis X 10 of the container so that the edge 16 a has, throughout its circular development, a constant distance D 1 with respect to the mouth plane 140 ; and
  • a bottom edge 16 b which—unlike what has been seen for the container 10 represented in FIG. 7 —extends according to an annular path that is not plane, but, so to speak, wavy and consequently comprises a number of stretches that extend in planes y′, y′′ that are oblique, i.e., inclined (such as to form a dihedron) with respect to the family of the transverse planes orthogonal to the main axis X 10 of the container so that the edge 16 b has, in different points of its angular development about the axis X 10 , different distances from the mouth plane 140 that range from a minimum value D 2 ′ to a maximum value D 2 ′′.
  • the edge 16 b can extend according to a generally annular path, which lies not in a plane, as in the case of the plane ⁇ of FIG. 7 , but rather in an arched surface of lie that, albeit remaining as a whole transverse with respect to the axis X 10 , has a general tile profile.
  • the edges instead of having a height (i.e., a dimension measured in the direction of the axis X 10 ) that is practically constant (as in the case of FIG. 7 ), the edges have a height that ranges between a minimum value and a maximum value, which are designated by H and K in FIG. 6 .
  • edge 16 b can apply, additionally or alternatively, to the top edge 16 a;
  • one or both of the edges 16 a, 16 b of the sleeve 16 could present, in different points of their angular development, different distances from the mouth plane 140 for the sole fact that they lie on a plane surface set oblique with respect to the main axis X 10 , so as to present a minimum and maximum distance from the mouth plane 140 in two diametrically opposite positions;
  • edge 16 b and/or the edge 16 a could have a wavy profile with a number of maxima and minima higher than two.
  • the container 10 has a sculptured annular edge 102 (which is projecting, in the examples of embodiment illustrated herein, but in various embodiments could be recessed with respect to the external development of the body 10 ), which extends about the axis X 10 according to a path that is homologous (and hence such as to reproduce) the path of the edge 16 b of the sleeve 16 .
  • the container 10 can present a sculptured annular edge 102 that is partly projecting and partly recessed with respect to the external development of the body 10 .
  • the container 10 has, delimited at the bottom by the edge 102 , a top part (on which the sleeve 16 is to be applied), at least slightly projecting with respect to the overall development of the container 10 .
  • this slightly projecting part has a variable height, such as to assume a maximum value in the diametrically opposite angular positions where the graphics 18 appears (the letter F, in the simplified example adopted here) and a minimum value in two angular positions staggered by 90°.
  • the sleeve 16 and the part of the container 10 on which the latter is applied hence have, in the examples of embodiment illustrated here, complementary edges 16 b and 102 both with a lobed profile or a wavy profile with two maxima and two minima.
  • the containers 10 are made to advance on the conveyor 208 controlling the orientation thereof about the main axis X 10 , in particular causing the two angular positions where the slightly projecting part of container that is to be covered by the sleeve 16 is “higher” to be set in a front and rear position, hence aligned with the direction of advance of the container, whilst the two angular positions where the part of container that is to be covered by the sleeve 16 is “lower” is located are oriented sideways on, crosswise with respect to the direction of advance of the container.
  • the sleeves 16 are fitted on the containers 10 in such a way that the orientation of the sleeve 16 about the main axis X 10 of the respective container 10 is not random but controlled: the two portions where the individual sleeve 16 is higher (i.e., where the cutting devices 212 cut the connecting portions 16 c ) come to coincide exactly with the angular positions where the part of the container 10 delimited at the bottom by the sculptured annular edge 102 is at the maximum height. In this way, the bottom edge 16 b of the individual sleeve 16 is in fact brought to mate with the sculptured annular edge 102 .
  • This mode of operation causes the graphics (for example, the letter F) obtained—in a given and controlled position—on each sleeve 16 to occupy a precise and definite position with respect to the sculptured annular edge 102 and hence to the container 10 as a whole.
  • the letters F designated by 18 and provided where the sleeve 16 has the maximum height (value K represented in FIG. 6 ), are located exactly in the desired angular position, where the part of the container 10 delimited at the bottom by the edge 102 has the maximum height.
  • the movement of advance of the container 10 brings the sleeve 16 to be exposed to sources of heat 214 (for example jets of hot air or lamps), which bring about an at least partial initial shrinking of the sleeve 16 .
  • sources of heat 214 for example jets of hot air or lamps
  • the sleeve 16 itself is kept stationary on the container 10 in so far as it rests at the bottom on the template 201 and/or in so far as it is withheld by retention elements constituted, for example, by grippers or pressure elements 216 moved by actuators 218 , for instance of a fluid type.
  • the elements 216 can be made to advance selectively towards the container 10 so as to keep the sleeve 16 fitted on the container 10 stationary for a sufficient time to cause the sleeve 16 , which is starting to shrink, to anchor on the container 10 and not to shift any longer even though the shrinkage process is not yet complete.
  • mere resting on the template 201 is sufficient to cause the sleeve 16 to be kept stationary on the container 10 during the step of pre-shrinkage of the sleeve 16 so that it is possible to do without the retention elements 216 ;
  • recourse to the templates 201 may not be envisaged in so far as the correctness of the position with which the sleeves 16 are fitted on the containers 10 is ensured with other means, or else it may be envisaged that the templates are removed immediately after the sleeves 16 have been fitted on the containers 10 : in these cases, the sleeve 16 is kept stationary on the container 10 during the step of pre-shrinkage by the retention elements 216 alone;
  • the sleeve 16 is kept stationary on the container 10 during the step of pre-shrinkage both by being rested on the template 201 and by the retention elements 216 .
  • the sculptured annular edge 102 instead of being at least slightly projecting, as in the example considered here, is a recessed edge, the function of support for resting of the bottom edge 16 b of the sleeve 16 can be performed (both when the sleeve is fitted on the container and during the pre-shrinkage step) by the sculptured annular edge 102 , avoiding the need to resort to the template 201 .
  • a station of this type can be constituted, for example, by a shrinking oven (for instance, of the steam or hot-air type), through which the containers 10 are fed for a time sufficient to cause the process of shrinking of the sleeves 16 to be completed leading to complete shape fit of the sleeve 16 on the part of the container 10 on which it has been applied, i.e., until the conditions represented in FIGS. 5 and 6 are obtained.
  • a shrinking oven for instance, of the steam or hot-air type
  • the templates 201 can be removed either upstream or downstream of the shrinking station 220 .
  • the containers thus completed, filled and topped, can be sent on to the subsequent treatment operations such as, for example, boxing.
  • various embodiments make it also possible to ensure an exact orientation of said graphics with respect to the container 10 , thus enabling a desired exact orientation of the graphics to be obtained both in packaging conditions and in conditions of display of the container 10 and of the product contained therein.
