Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for arranging a sleeve-like foil envelope around an object, comprising supply means for supplying said sleeve-like foil envelope around at least one spreading element in a horizontal orientation, as well as discharge means for discharging the sleeve-like foil envelope from the device and arranging it around the object, wherein said spreading element has an inlet side configured as a flat element portion, an outlet side and a transition area located between said inlet side and said outlet side, and wherein said spreading element widens towards the transition area in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the flat element portion, whilst the spreading element has an at least substantially constant circumference at least in the direction from the inlet side to the transition area.
  • the invention also relates to a spreading element for use in such a device.
  • Such a device is disclosed in, for example, European patent application no. 0763498.
  • the foil envelope has been pre-produced in the form of a continuous strip, which is wound on a supply reel and which is to be cut to the correct length by means of a device as described in the introductory paragraph.
  • the individual flat sleeve-like foil envelopes must subsequently be opened by means of a spreading element and be arranged around an object, such as a bottle or a container, with some oversize.
  • the foil material used therewith is made of a so-called shrink material, which shrinks as a result of heat being applied and which forms with a close fit to the shape of the bottle or container around which the sleeve-like envelope has been arranged.
  • a drawback of the known device is that it is only suitable for use with thick or stiff foil materials in order to thus realise a high handling rate.
  • the handling rate must be reduced in order to prevent undesirable jamming of the device. Said jamming of the device is caused by friction and creasing phenomena, among other factors, which manifest themselves more strongly when thin foils are being handled.
  • the foil material becomes distorted when the flat strip of foil material is being supplied around the spreading element, which may result in undesirable material stresses in the material, which may lead to damage and/or rupture. Furthermore, the foil material cannot be adequately arranged around the product in that case and, on the other hand, the distortions in the material may lead to blocking and standstill of the device.
  • the object of the invention is to obviate these drawbacks, and in order to accomplish that object the device is characterised in that the spreading element has an at least substantially constant circumference, at least in the direction from the inlet side to the outlet side, such that the foil material being carried over the spreading element will cover substantially the same distance on all sides of the spreading element upon being converted from a flat foil sleeve to an open foil sleeve.
  • the spreading element can be supported on the discharge means, which discharge means are located in the plane of the flat element part, the spreading element being provided with a first set of opposite first guide rollers at the location of the transition area, which first guide rollers can be supported on a drivable first drive roller that forms part of the discharge means.
  • the spreading element can be freely suspended in the device. This enables easy re-setting of the device for another type or sort of foil material and a corresponding spreading element.
  • the crease formed upon deformation of the foil material into a sleeve may be smoothed out, so that the sleeve will have a rounder shape, making it easier to arrange the sleeve over the product.
  • the spreading element can be supported on the discharge means, wherein the spreading element is in particular provided with a first set of opposite first guide rollers at the location of the transition area, which first guide rollers can be supported on one of the drivable first drive rollers that form part of the discharge means.
  • Said set of opposite first guide rollers may consist of two guide rollers.
  • the spreading element is provided with a second set of opposite second guide rollers near its outlet side, which second guide rollers can be supported on one of the drivable second drive rollers that form part of the discharge means.
  • Said second set of opposite second guide rollers may consist of two guide rollers.
  • All pairs of rollers consisting of a driven roller and a guide roller are in continuous contact with the driving gear, making it possible to realise high rates of movement or accelerations of the foil material through the device without subjecting the foil to inertia forces. Furthermore, this makes it possible for the foil material to be automatically fed into the device, so that re-setting the device can take place more efficiently, since it is no longer necessary in that case to guide the foil material manually between and past the various rollers.
  • the guide rollers may be accommodated in recesses provided in the spreading element, small overall dimensions can be realised, whilst exchanging the spreading element in the device can take place in a quick and efficient manner.
  • At least the first drive rollers are according to the invention at least partially provided with a contact surface that has a lower coefficient of friction than the guide rollers.
  • Said contact surface may be made of plastic material, for example.
  • the discharge means may be provided with orientation means for orienting the spreading element in the device, in particular perpendicularly to the device. This makes it possible to realise a correct fixation and orientation of the spreading element in the device, whilst also the exchanging operation can be carried out quickly and without additional adjusting operations being required.
  • Said orientation means may comprise at least one ridge formed on the first drive rollers, which ridge engages in the first guide rollers.
  • the foil exhibits a single curved plane near the driven pairs of rollers, so that the occurrence of stresses in the foil will be minimal.
  • the element portion has a cylindrical, an oval or a polygonal shape.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a device according to the prior art
  • FIGS. 2 a and 2 b are views of an embodiment of a spreading device according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 3 a and 3 b are views showing another aspect of a spreading element according to the invention.
  • numeral 10 indicates a device according to the prior art.
  • the device 10 comprises supply means or conveying means 12 built up of two drivable rollers, between which a continuous strip of foil material 1 can be passed.
  • the continuous strip of foil material 1 is wound on a supply reel 11 and is introduced into the device via a tensioning mechanism 13 .
  • the tensioning mechanism 13 comprises an arm 13 a , which is pivotally connected to the device.
  • the pivot arm 13 a has several rollers 13 b , over which the continuous strip of sleeve-like foil material 1 is passed.
  • the strip of sleeve-like foil material 1 is also passed over additional, fixedly disposed rollers 13 c . In this way it is possible on the one hand to realise a certain amount of stock in the continuous strip of sleeve-like foil material being unwound from the real 11 , but above all it is possible to set up a certain tension therein.
  • the supply means 12 carry the continuous strip of sleeve-like foil material 1 past cutting means 14 for cutting the foil material 1 through at certain intervals so as to obtain individual sleeve-like foil envelopes 1 ′. All kinds of embodiments of the cutting means 14 are possible, which embodiments can be assumed to be known to those of average skill in the art.
  • a spreading element 19 is provided at the location of the cutting means 14 and the discharge side of the device 10 , which element functions to open the obtained individual flat sleeve-like foil envelopes 1 ′ for arranging the open sleeve-like foil envelope around a container 2 .
  • the spreading element 19 is widened at least in the plane perpendicular to the plane of the flat continuous strip of foil material 1 .
  • the individual flat sleeve-like foil envelopes . . . - 1 ′ ⁇ 1 - 1 ′ 0 - 1 ′ +1 - . . . are opened, so that they can be readily arranged around a container . . . - 2 ′ 1 - 2 ′ 0 - 2 ′ +1 - . . . .
  • the containers . . . - 2 ′ ⁇ 1 - 2 ′ 0 - 2 ′ +1 - . . . are moved by conveying means, which are assumed to be known per se, which conveying means 21 comprise a carrier 21 a , on which several containers (bottles, jars or cans) are present, which containers are conveyed to the device 10 .
  • Each individual flat sleeve-like foil envelope . . . - 1 ′ ⁇ 1 - 1 ′ 0 - 1 ′ +1 - . . . is opened by the spreading element 19 and cut loose from the strip of foil material 1 by the cutting means 14 , whereupon the thus opened sleeve-like foil envelope can be easily arranged over a container . . . - 2 ′ ⁇ 1 - 2 ′ 0 - 2 ′ +1 - . . . that is ready and waiting.
  • discharge means 20 may be provided, which are incorporated in the device at the location of the spreading element 19 .
  • Said discharge means may comprise one or more drivable rollers 20 a , which are supported on the stationary rollers 20 b and which discharge the sleeve-like foil material 1 ′ extending therebetween from the device 10 at an accelerated rate, with the individual, opened foil envelope . . .
  • the foil envelope When a sleeve-like foil envelope 1 ′ is to be arranged around a container 2 , the foil envelope needs to be placed in an open position by the spreading element 19 so as to make it possible to arrange the envelope quickly and easily over the container 2 .
  • FIGS. 2 a and 2 b show embodiments of a spreading element or mandrel 190 according to the invention.
  • the spreading element 190 comprises a flat element portion 190 a , which is configured as a flat plate having edges 193 .
  • the flat element portion 190 a functions as an inlet side for the sleeve-like foil envelopes 1 , which are supplied to the device in a flat orientation.
  • the spreading element 190 must open the flat foil envelope 1 ′ placed over the flat element portion 190 a . It is desirable in that regard for the foil material to be deformed without stress concentrations in the foil material leading to distortions or tears, which would result in jamming and/or standstill of the device.
  • the spreading element 190 comprises a transition area 194 , in which the spreading element 190 widens from the flat element portion 190 a towards the transition area 194 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the flat element portion (and consequently also of the flat sleeve-like foil envelope).
  • This is clearly shown in FIG. 2 b by means of reference numerals 196 , which clearly indicate the widening of the flat element portion 190 a towards the transition area 194 .
  • the flat element portion 190 a is so constructed that it narrows towards the transition area 194 , seen in the plane of the flat element portion. This is illustrated by means of the flange edges 193 in FIGS. 2 a and 2 b , which flange edges have a curved but inwardly extending construction.
  • the spreading element is constructed so that it has a substantially constant circumference, at least in the direction from the inlet side (or the flat element portion 190 a ) towards the transition area 194 , more in particular a substantially constant circumference towards the outlet side.
  • This configuration of the flat element portion 190 a makes it possible to realise an efficient deformation of the flat sleeve-like foil element to an open sleeve-like foil element, which can be arranged around a product 2 , without any disadvantageous material stresses occurring.
  • the spreading element 190 has a cylindrical shape near the outlet side 190 b , in which connection it is noted that the external dimension of the spreading element 190 at the location where the open sleeve-like foil element 1 ′ is arranged around the product 2 0 is larger than the dimension of the spreading element 190 at the transition area 194 , which is represented as being square.
  • the spreading element 190 may also have a different shape, however, such as an oval shape or a polygonal shape, such as a square, a rectangular or a multiangular shape.
  • the spreading element 190 is to that end provided with two recesses 195 a - 195 b at the location of the transition area, which recesses are formed by material removed from the spreading element, the functionality of which recesses will be discussed yet hereinafter.
  • the spreading element 190 can be freely suspended in the device, being supported on the discharged means 12 , as is clearly shown in FIG. 2 a .
  • Reference numeral 12 indicates a first set of two opposite first drive rollers, which are fixedly connected to an immovable structure or to the frame structure of the device.
  • the spreading element 190 can be positioned between the drive rollers 12 and will be supported on the two drive rollers at the location of the transition area 194 .
  • Positioning the spreading element 190 can be done quickly and expertly partially as a result of the presence of the recesses 195 a - 195 b , which thus provide a clearance that makes it possible to place or position the spreading element 190 according to the invention between the drive rollers 12 .
  • the spreading element 190 is provided with a first set of two opposite guide rollers 191 a - 191 b , which first guide rollers 191 a - 191 b are each supported on one of the drivable first drive rollers 12 forming part of the discharge means.
  • Each guide roller 191 a - 191 b is to that end disposed in slots 197 a - 197 b .
  • the spreading element is provided with a second set of two opposite second guide rollers 192 a - 192 b near its outlet side, which second guide rollers are likewise disposed in slots or recesses 198 a - 198 b in the spreading element.
  • the second guide rollers 192 a - 192 b are supported on drivable second drive/pressure rollers.
  • At least the first drive rollers 12 are in part provided with a contact surface that has a lower coefficient of friction than the guide rollers 191 a - 191 b .
  • the contact surface may consist of a plastic material, for example.
  • the foil envelope can be automatically introduced into the device, so that the device can be automatically prepared or reset.
  • the drive rollers may be provided with orientation means for precisely orienting and fixing the spreading element 190 in the correct orientation of the device.
  • the orientation means may to that end form part of the discharge means and, for example, comprise a ridge 12 a formed on the first drive rollers 12 , which ridge 12 a engages in a groove (not shown) formed in the circumferential surface of the first guide rollers 191 a - 191 b .
  • the sleeve like foil material is converted from the flat orientation in which it is supplied into an open shape in an even manner and with a minimum of material stresses, making it possible to arrange it around an object.
  • the conversion of the flat foil material into an open sleeve-like foil element over the spreading element with a minimum of material stresses or distortions is illustrated in the side views of FIGS. 3( a ) and 3 ( b ), in which references X and Y are two imaginary lines extending along the outer circumference of the spreading element.
  • the imaginary line X is located in the plane formed by the flat element portion 190 a (see FIGS. 2 a and 2 b ) and is located between the imaginary points A-A′.
  • the imaginary point A is located at the side edge of the flat element portion 190 a , whilst the imaginary point A′ is located at the outlet side of the spreading element.
  • the imaginary line X extends along the spreading element in the plane of the flat element portion and along or through the recess 195 a or 195 b .
  • the imaginary line Y extends in a straight line between the points B and B′ on the other side of the spreading element.
  • the imaginary point B is located at the upper side of the element portion, near the flat element portion 190 a , whilst the imaginary point B′ is located on the outlet side of the spreading element.
  • the spreading element is constructed so that the imaginary lines X and Y have the same length. This means that the foil material being carried over the spreading element will cover substantially the same distance on all sides of the spreading element while being converted from a flat foil sleeve into an open foil sleeve. This specific construction of the spreading element results in a minimum of material stresses in the foil material, so that standstill of the device is prevented as much as possible.
