Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in printing blown bottles and refers more particularly to a method and machine for applying advertising indicia upon the exterior surface of plastic bottles having flexible walls.
  • the normal stamping pressures required are of the order of from 60 to 90 pounds per square inch, and if this pressure is applied to the bottle before the die is brought into contact during the imprinting operation, the container is somewhat enlarged and usually distorted. This variation in size and shape is not uniform, making it practically impossible to provide a die which will accurately fit the contour of the container. Obviously if the die is made to fit the container under normal conditions or before inflation, it will not accurately conform to the container surface after inflation.
  • Another method in the art of imprinting flexible containers is that in which the die is brought down to the position of stamping contact, at which time air is blown into the bottle.
  • the center line of type up and down the container may stamp satisfactorily, but the balance of the impression is blurred or fuzzy as the surface slides or skids under the die.
  • a further method of stamping is by crushing the bottle or container on a bed and forcing the top and bottom of the bottle down beyond the level of the bed whereby the two walls of the container .lie flat upon one another on the bed.
  • the die and pigment leaf are then applied to the upper surface of the bottle and a satisfactory transfer .of the printing from the die to the container wall is obtained.
  • This method has been used extensively and is practical, usually .giving good results.
  • the bottle may be crushed without bending down the top and bottom beyond the level of ,the bed. In either case the quality, however, may be affected by non-uniformity in wall thick- If enough pressure is used to satisfactorily a Ce ness, a factor which is aggravated because of the twowall thickness which are crushed together upon the bed. An.
  • the method has the basic difficulty that the stamping is restricted to one face of the container at any single imprint and the imprint cannot be carried close to the top or bottom of the container due to the impracticability of flattening the top and bottom sections during the crushing operation.
  • the instant method is distinguished from those that have gone before in that the die is stationary at the time of stamping and the work is brought into pressure contact with the dye by means of compressed air. Skidding, distortion or uneven inflation of the container is eliminated by holding the bottle in a cavity which closely fits the container under normal pressure conditions, thus a container with a wide variation in its wall thickness will stamp evenly because the pressure against the die is uniform regardless of the thickness of the walls. Furthermore, the pressure at all times being directly vertical to the face of the die prevents the tendency to sideslip or skid. Also, the die surface is shaped to the contour of the container section that is being imprinted. By this method, there is practically no restriction as to the area to be stamped which is a great advantage over crush-stamping.
  • dies are fitted into holes formed in both halves of the cavity in which the container is held, there is no movement of the container during the printing operation and indicia from the die is readily transferred to one or both sides of the container without appreciable distortion of the walls of the container during printing. Since the die is separate from the cavity, it may be readily heated to a stamping temperature while the walls of the cavity are cooled by circulation of a cooling medium which prevents searing or marring of the finish of the container during the printing operation.
  • the novelty resides in holding the container in a cavity supplied with a die or dies which cavity sets close enough about the container to prevent stretch, distortion, enlargement and avoids creep under the die while being pressure-imprinted with provision for heating the dies and cooling sections of the cavity surrounding the die or dies considerably below stamping temperatures.

  • Fig. 11 is a modified form of toggle mechanism for operating the printing dies.
  • Bottle positioning mechanism Referring to the drawings, and particularly to Fig. l, at 15 are shown the legs of a frame upon which the machine is mounted.
  • a horizontal platform or top 15a carries the bulk of the mechanism and below this platform and extending between the legs 15 is a shelf or platform 15b which carries motor 16 and reduction gear 17.
  • the motor 16 drives the reduction gear through pulleys 18, 19 and belt 20.
  • Power is transmitted from the reduc tion gear through sprocket 21, chain 22 and sprocket 23, the latter rotatably mounted on shaft 24 shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
  • a clutch mechanism diagrammatically shown at 25 in Fig. 3 is operated by a foot lever 26 best indicated in Fig. 1.
  • the foot lever 26 is fixedly attached to shaft 27, the shaft being supported on brackets depending from a motor platform 15]). Also fixed to the shaft 27 is a crank 29 having connection through rod 30 with the clutch arm 31 best shown in Fig. 8. Clutch arm 31 is pivoted at 32 to a vertical bracket 33 so that operation of foot lever 26 through the connections mentioned functions clutch arm 31 which in turn completes the driving engagement between sprocket 23 and shaft 24.
  • a semi-circular segment 34 and eccentric arm 35 which are the actuating members of a Geneva drive which includes the slotted web 36 fixedly mounted on shaft 37.
  • the latter shaft is carried in bearing brackets 38 shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
  • a pin and bearing assembly 35a At the end of eccentric arm 35 is a pin and bearing assembly 35a best shown in Fig. 4 which engages successively the radial slots of web 36 on rotation of shaft 24.
  • a multi-sided plate in the machine shown as a five-sided plate 39 from which extend tubes or anvils 40.
  • the pentagonal plate 39 has radially drilled ducts 41, each communicating with one of the anvils and short ducts 41a parallel with the axis of the plate providing communication between ducts 41 and duct 42 drilled axially through spacer bushing 43.
  • a gasketed connection between the ducts at the contacting surfaces of plate 39 and spacer 43 furnishes an airtight seal at this point.
  • a radial duct 42a through spacer 43 connects with passageway 42. and has a hose connection 44 for the introduction of compressedair supplied through tube 45.
  • nipples 40a of somewhat smaller diameter adapted to receive the spout ends of bottles or containers 46.
  • the bottles are applied manually to the ends of the anvils in position to be properly engaged by the dies, as will hereinafter be explained.
  • a cam 47 is mounted on the end of shaft 24 shown in Figs. 1 and 3. Rotation of the shaft 24 causes cam 47 to move the pivoted latch 48 against plunger 49 operating an air valve Within the valve body 50. This permits cornpressed air to flow from air supply tube 51 into tube 45 which as previously described is connected to duct 42a in spacer 43.
  • the duct of the anvil at the printing station is the only one aligned with the air duct 42 when the air injection valve is actuated by cam 47.
  • a coil spring After injection of air into the bottle and completion of the print ing operation, a coil spring returns the plunger and closes the air injection valve and simultaneously permits the pressure built up in the bottle to be exhausted through a relief valve in valve body 50. Release of the air in this fashion takes place between each actuation of the air injection valve by cam 47.
  • the printing mechanism To operate the dies which have imposed thereon printing inclicia identifying the manufacturer, the class of goods or advertising media, two cams 52 and 53 mounted adjacent cam 47 on shaft 24 operate micro-switches diagrammatically shown at 54- and 55 to function bellows 56 and 57 through solenoids 55 and 59, respectively.
  • cam 52 As cam 52 is rotated to a position where it rides against the roller 54a of 1nicro-switch 54, the switch energizes: solenoids 53 and 59 which open air valves for the introduction of air behind the pistons in bellows 56 and 57.
  • the movement of the pistons is transmitted through rods 60 and 61 through a toggle mechanism comprising members 62, 63 and 64.
  • Members 62 constitute a exten sion of piston rods 69 and 61 while members 63 and 64 both pivoted at 65 to member 62 transmit the motion of the pistons in opposed directions at right angles to the piston action.
  • Toggle arms 64 besides being pivoted at 65 to member 62 is likewise pivoted at its outer end to pin 66 in boss 67.
  • the boss is carried upon adjusting screw 68 which extends through and is rigidly afiixed to the box-shaped frame 69 and vertical support 70.
  • Adjusting nuts 71 on both the inside and outside of these frame members serve to move the screw and boss inwardly or outwardly with respect to the frame members providing an adjustment for the advancement and retraction of the dies.
  • An oil fitting 72 provides lubrication to the pin 66.
  • Toggle arms 63 besides being pivoted to member 62 at 65, are pivoted to pin 73 carried by an car 74 extending from the outside of plate 75.
  • Plate 75 is insulated from heater block 76 by an insulating plate 77 so the heat from block 76 will not be transmitted to the toggle mechanism and frame of the machine.
  • Also rigidly attached to the outside of plates 75 are two cylindrical guide rods 78 which bear in frames 69 and provide a sliding support for the plates when they are advanced or retracted during the printing operation.
  • the inner face of heater 76 is horizontally grooved to receive the wedge-shaped slide 79a of the die plate 79.
  • a boss 79b Extending from the inner face of the plate is a boss 79b which transmits heat from the heating block 76 to the die 30 affixed to the inner face of the boss.
  • a jacket 81 Surrounding the .boss is a jacket 81 through which a cooling medium is circulated being introduced through fitting 82 at the bottom of the jacket and discharged. through a similar fitting atthe top.
  • Hose connection 83 supplies a cooling medium to the bottom of the jacket and similar connection at the top discharges it after it has cooled the cavity and portions of the bottle which surround the printed area.
  • .Roll leaf feed jRoll leaf having applied Lthereon pigment which .is :to be imprinted by the dies is mounted on spools 86 shown in Figs. 2 and 4.
  • the .leaf strips pass over guide rods 88 positioned below the dies, thence "between the knurled feed rolls S9 and rubber rolls '90.
  • the interrupted feed of the roll leaf across the dies during theprinting operation is governed by the drive of feed rolls 89, and this is synchronized with the Geneva drive which advances the bottles from station to station.
  • the feed roll drive is taken from shaft 24 through an internal cam 91 best shown in Figs. 3 and 6.
  • Rotation of-the cam oscillates yoke 92 which straddles bearing 24a actuatedby a pin bearing 93 extending from the side of the yoke which travels in camway 91a.
  • the oscillation of the yoke is transmitted through arms 94 and 95 to shaft 96 which bears in support 70 and bracket 97.
  • Aflixed to the inner end of shaft 96 is beveled gear '98 which meshes with 'gears 99 and 100.
  • the oscillating movement of yoke :92 is thus transferred from the yoke through .the connections described totcross shaft 161 upon which gear.99 isfixedly mounted and :gear
  • FIG. 11 A modified type of toggle assembly is shown in Fig. 11.
  • the piston thrust is transmitted from rods :30, extensions 62 through hell cranks 114, pivoted at 115, thence through levers 116 to toggle members 63 and as which convert the movement of the levers 116 to a horizontal movement of plates 75 to which are attached the heaters and cooling jackets as well as die carrying members previously explained.
  • Coil springs 117 under tension urge the die holding members apart and return the plates to an open position as shown in Fig. 11 after the printing operation has been performed.
  • Guide plates 73a assure proper closing and opening of the die holding members.
  • the dies are mounted on 'heated'bosses 76 and are formed to fit the contour of the'bottle where imprinting 'of the dies is to take place. It will'be noted that a die is held in both members on opposite sides of the'bottle or if desired, but a single side may be printed. In all events, during the printing the die or dies are heated to a predetermined temperature which will indelibly apply the pigment of the roll leaf to the bottle surfaces. These temperatures are accurately regulated by controls previously mentioned. At the same time, the bottle surfaces surrounding the printed areas are kept at relatively normal temperatures by circulation of a cooling medium through the jackets 81.
  • Timed with the movement of the bottles from station to station and the opening and closing of the die-holding members are two bands or strips of roll leaf which pass between the dies and bottle surfaces in an intermittent feed.
  • This feed is from shaft 24 through the internal cam and yoke assembly shown in Fig. 6 and the beveled .gear, rack and pinion and dog assemblies shown in Fig. 5.
  • cam 47 actuates the air injection valve, evenly expanding the walls of the bottle or container against the dies and walls of the surrounding cooling jackets. In this fashion, there is obtained a smooth e'ven imprint of the dies while the surrounding surfaces of the bottle are snugly held to prevent distortion and marring from the heat applied behind the dies.
