Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process of manufacturing packages of the kind comprising on the one hand a closed outer casing of carton or a similar rigid material defining the shape of the package, said outer casing preferably consisting of a tubular side wall and two end walls and being at least partly perforated along one of its walls so as to define an opening in said wall, and on the other hand a sealed inner bag consisting of a thin plastic foil or a similar thin and flexible packaging material.
  • the inner bag contains a liquid or fluent filling material and fills the interior cavity of the outer casing essentially completely.
  • That portion of the inner bag which is adjacent to the said opening and islocated on the inside of the outer casing covers the said opening with a portion which is essentially stretched flat over the cross-sectional area thereof and is attached to the outer casing in a relatively narrow zone closed around the opening and located adjacent thereto.
  • the inner bag is inserted from above, at least when the outer casing is open at the top, through a relative movement into the said outer casing after having had supplied to it at least part of the quantity of filling material to be packaged, in addition to which it is caused to be pressed essentially by the weight of the filling material against an adhesive layer applied in advance to the said closed zone so as to cover it completely and being capable of being at least activated into adhesion in order to be actively united with the outer casing, when the said adhesive layer is in an active state, the inner bag, after having had the whole quantity of filling material supplied to it, being closed at least immediately prior to the closing of the outer casing.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view, with certain portions cut away, of one phase of the process according to the invention applied to the manufacture of a parallelepipedic package;
  • FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view on line IIII of FIG. 1 when the inner bag is completely inserted into the outer casing of the package;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the finished package in a closed state
  • FIG. 4 shows the opening operation in a perspective view corresponding to FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the emptying operation
  • FIG. 6 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a packaging machine intended for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing the sequence of steps of filling and sealing a package.
  • the parallelepipedic package shown in the drawing consists of an outer casing 1 and an inner bag 2.
  • the outer casing has the shape of a capsule consisting for instance of carton or a similar rigid packaging material and having a side wall defining a parallelepipedic cavity.
  • At each end of the said side wall there are hinged end flaps 3, 4, 5 and 6 and 7, 8, 9 and 10, respectively, which may be folded in over the adjacent capsule end opening so as to form an end wall 11 and 12, respectively.
  • the outer casing 1 is shown closed at one of its ends, i.e. with one of its end walls 11 established.
  • this end wall 11 there is provided an opening 13 extending to the inside of the end wall 11 and penetrating through an inner end flap 3 of the end wall 11 when folded inward.
  • the opening 13 is located adjacent one of the corners of the outer casing 1 at the corresponding end and is covered by an outer end flap 5.
  • the inner bag 2 consists of a hose sealed at one end and consisting of a thin and flexible packaging material, e.g. plastic film.
  • the bag hose has an outer periphery which essentially coincides with the inner periphery of the capsule in cross-sectional planes parallel to the end walls 11 and 12.
  • the inner bag 2 is inserted with its closed end first from the end corresponding to the end flaps 7, 8, 9 and 10, downward into the cavity defined by the side wall of the outer casing 1.
  • the end flaps 7, 8, 9 and 10 are swung outward from the adjacent capsule end opening, leaving this completely open.
  • the outer casing 1 is already closed, i.e. has its end wall 11 established.
  • the end flap 3 Prior to the insertion of the inner bag 2 into the outer casing 1 the end flap 3 has an adhesive layer applied to its inside in a relatively narrow zone 14 closed around the opening 13 and contiguous thereto.
  • the adhesive layer may at least be activated into adhesion. It may thus consist of for instance a normal glue or a thermoplastic, which may have adhesive properties imparted to it by supply of heat.
  • the application of the layer of adhesive to the zone 14 may take place either prior to or after i the establishing of the end wall 11.
  • the filling material is assumed to be liquid or fluent, and this entails that the bag 2 is tensioned at its lower closed end by the weight and the pressure distributing properties of the filling material, and at the same time it will lie snugly at the inside of the capsule side wall.
  • the insertion of the bag 2 into the outer casing 1 takes place by an axial relative movement between the bag and the outer casing.
  • the bag 2 may be lowered into the outer casing 1, or the outer casing 1 may be raised about the bag 2, or the bag 2 may be lowered and the outer casing 1 may be raised at the same time.
  • Adhesives of the normal glue type will thus result in adhesion between the bag and the end wall as soon as the bag comes into contact wtih the said zone, whereas with adhesives of the heat-scalable plastic type the adhesiveness may be established either already prior to the bag being pressed against the zone or after the bag wall has been brought into contact therewith.
  • the latter type of adhesive may as a matter of fact be activated at the desirable point of time by supplying heat to the layer of adhesive. This heat may be supplied from the outside of the end wall if this is desired.
  • the layer of adhesive which may at least be activated, may also occur in a Zone along the bag wall which corresponds to the zone 14.
  • the bag 2 is closed at its open end, e.g. by heat sealing between two cooperating transversal sealing jaws.
  • the sealing of the bag 2 is carried out so far outside the plane of the casing end opening located adjacent the casing end flaps 7, 8, 9 and 10 that the bag 2 may have a quantity of filling material supplied to it which essentially corresponds to the volume of the casing cavity minus the volume of the wall material in the bag.
  • the counter pressure of the filled bag 2 may be used as an abutment or support for sealing the casing end flaps 7, 8, 9 and '10 to each other in a position folded in over the casing end opening in question.
  • the finished package according to the invention is shown in a perspective view in FIG. 3, where the package is shown in its normal transport position with the end wall 11 facing upward and the end wall formed by the end flaps 7, 8, 9 and 10 forming the bottom wall of the package.
  • the outer end flap in the end wall 11 covering the opening 13 in the inner end flap 3 is provided in the present embodiment of the package with a crease and/or a perforation line 17 which starts at right angles from the crease between the side wall of the outer casing 1 and the flap 5 and extends up to the free end wall of the latter.
  • this crease between the end wall 5 and the side wall of the outer casing 1 is made weaker by perforations or otherwise along a portion 18 extending from the corner of the end wall 11 adjacent to the opening 13 and up to the base of the crease line 17.
  • the portion 19 of the end flap which is defined by the weakened crease portion 18 and the line 17 covers the outer portion of the opening 13 completely.
  • the said end flap portion 19 allows itself to be detached from the capsule side wall along the crease portion 18 and, in order to expose the opening 13, may be bent and/or torn oif along the line 17, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the prerequisite is, of course, that the end flap portion 19 is either unsealed to the underlying end flap 3 or else is united therewith in a sealing joint which is easy to break open.
  • this puncturing is easy to carry out, at any rate by means of a pointed, awl-like tool.
  • This tool may have such a shape that, after penetrating the bag wall portion 16 essentially in one point, it will widen the initial opening in the bag wall portion 16 so as to make it comprise the area of the opening 13 when the tool is introduced further into the opening. If the wall material of the bag 2 is a plastic film of for instance polyethylene, a very good seal between the awl-like tool and the bag wall will be obtained at this widening operation.
  • This fact is made use of by means of the opening tool 20 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. It essentially consists of a tube 21 which is sharpened into a point at one end and whose opposite end is enlarged so as to form a pouring edge 22 with a spout 23.
  • the tube 21 has an outer diameter essentially coinciding with the inner diameter of the opening 13.
  • the tube 21 has an outer annular flange 24.
  • the tube 21 has an outward annular ridge 25 on the same end of the tube as the pointed tube end 26 and of a height whose radius is less than the annular flange 24.
  • the bag material is assumed to be a plastic film or the like, a very good and tight seal is obtained between the outside of the tube 21 and the widened perforation in the bag wall. This seal will prevent leakage along the outside of the tool.
  • the interior of the tube 21 thus constitutes a passage communicating with the interior of the bag and through which the packaged product may be emptied, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the tool 20 is preferably provided along the portion of the tube 21 located between the annular ridge 25 and the tube point 26 with apertures 27 or the like passing through the tube wall.
  • the inner bag 2 may be divided off from a simultaneously manufactured bag hose and may thus be filled through this bag hose. However, it is also possible to use separate bags.
  • the end wall 11 may have a notch for such an opening.
  • This opening notch may consist of a perforation line or a similar weakening line, which permits a portion of the end wall 11 of the outer casing 1 to be removed or folded back so as to expose an opening therein.
  • an outward covering portion corresponding to the portion 19 of the end flap 5 may be dispensed with.
  • outer casing 1 in the form of a capsule of the usual shape.
  • principles of the invention may be realized also in other types of outer casings.
  • FIG. 6 the method according to the invention is illustrated in the embodiment thereof in which the inner bag of the package being produced is divided from and filled through a simultaneously produced bag tubing and the outer casing or carton of such package consists of a collapsible carton erected into parallelepipedon shape.
  • FIG. 6 schematically illustrates an apparatus for carrying out such method.
  • a flattened bag tubing 29 of synthetic thermoplastic material is carried via a looper 30 upwards over a horizontal pulley bar 32 secured to the upper end of a vertical frame standard 31 from which pulley bar 32 the tubing is drawn vertically downwards.
  • a bracket arm 33 is secured to the frame standard, said bracket arm 33 extending horizontally in the vertical plane through the axis of said pulley bar 32 and carrying a sliding shoe 34 at its free end. Between said sliding shoe 34 and the frame standard 31 the bracket arm 33 carries a cutting edge 35 contained in the vertical plane through the bracket arm 33 and inclined towards the standard 31.
  • the sliding shoe 34 is arranged inside the flattened bag tubing 29 to engage the longitudinal fold thereof remote from the frame standard 31, the cutting edge being adapted to slit open the bag tubing 29 along the other longitudinal fold thereof.
  • the cutting edge and the sliding shoe 34 should be yieldable to each other transversely of the tubing 29.
  • the longitudinal slitted margin thereof is carried between a pair of co-operating vertical sealing jaws 37, 38.
  • Said jaws are carried each by an individual cheek of a horizontal pair of pliers 39 the pivot of which is integral with the frame standard 31 and is co-axial thereto.
  • the said pair of pliers 39 cooperates with a cam 41 secured to a vertical operating shaft 42 journaled for rotation in brackets 43 and 44 mounted on the frame standard 31, said shaft being driven from a main drive shaft 45 via an angular gear 46.
  • a horizontal pulling pincher 47 is slidable along the operating shaft 42 and the frame standard 31.
  • the pincher 47 is arranged along each of the two longitudinal fold edges of the restored bag tubing from both sides of the flattening plane thereof at least locally to pinch the bag tubing and simultaneously to stretch same laterally in the just mentioned plane.
  • the two pinching jaws of the pincher 47 can carry two pairs of co-operating pinching pads 48, 49 and 50, 51, respectively, said two pinching pad pairs being arranged in the closed position of the pincher 47 to pinch between them the bag tubing along each an individual one of the two longitudinal folds thereof.
  • the pincher 47 is reciprocatingly moveable vertically along the standard 31 and the shaft 42.
  • the said reciprocating movement is transmitted from the shaft 45 by a mechanism not shown, the opening and closing movement of the pincher jaws for instance being controlled by a cam located along the vertical path of the pincher 47, such cam not being shown herein.
  • a conveyor 57 transports erected par-allelepipedon cartons 58 the end of each of which corresponding to the end wall 11 of the abovementioned outer casing 1 is closed and faces downwardly, the opposite ends of said cartons 58 being open to expose the entire cross-sectional area of the carton.
  • the downwardly facing carton end wall thus has an aperture (not visible in the drawings) corresponding to the aperture 13.
  • the carton 58 will assume such a position as to make the flattening plane of the bag tubing substantially coincide with a plane through one of the diagonals of the carton opening and through the vertical axis of the carton 58. Furthermore, in such station the carton 58 will rest upon a a platform 61 which by a lever 62 driven from the main shaft 45 is raisable vertically.
  • the carton 58 will, by means not shown, have its open end closed to form an end wall corresponding to the end wall 12 of the carton; and finally the carton will be removed, for instance, to another conveyor.
  • heat supply may be achieved by a heat impulse sealing strip (not shown) located on the working surface of one jaw of the respective pairs of jaws, which impulse sealing strip in connection with the closing movement of the jaw pair is supplied with one or more current impulses of short duration thereby to heat the two superposed plastic surfaces of the bag tubing at sealing temperature through heat conduction.
  • a heat impulse sealing strip (not shown) located on the working surface of one jaw of the respective pairs of jaws, which impulse sealing strip in connection with the closing movement of the jaw pair is supplied with one or more current impulses of short duration thereby to heat the two superposed plastic surfaces of the bag tubing at sealing temperature through heat conduction.
  • the sealing jaw pair 37, 38 closes on the slitted longitudinal margin of the bag tubing for restoring same into tube shape.
  • the pincher 47 moves upwardly to its upper dead point just below the clamping jaw pair 37, 38.
  • the pincher 47 is so designed and arranged as in its closed position to leave space inside the bag tubing for the filling pipe 36 the discharge end of which is located just above the transverse sealing jaws 55 and 56.
  • the pinching pad pairs 48, 49 and 50, 51 are preferably effectively moveable to and from each other in transverse direction.
  • the looper 30 has previously formed in the bag tubing web between the supply roll 28 and the pulley bar 32 a loop of a length corresponding to the feed stroke of the pincher 47.
  • the two pincher pad pairs 48, 49 and 50, 51 may be arranged to decrease their transverse spacing during the downward stroke of the pincher.
  • the platform 61 When the closed end of the bag tubing reaches the closed end of the carton 58 the platform 61 will reverse to return to its lower dead point together with the bag tubing. This will again start the supply of filling material into the bag tubing so that the filling material quantity intended for the package in question will be supplied. Through influence of the weight of the filling material the bag tubing will be pressed in a smooth-stretched state against the glue zone on the inside of the carton 58 thereby to be sealed to the carton in the corresponding closed zone.
  • the transverse sealing jaws 55 and 56 close on the bag tubing possibly subsequent to the pincher pad pairs 48, 49 and 50, 51 having again been moved away from each other in lateral direction for flat-stretching the bag tubing in such direction.
  • the transverse sealing jaws 55 and 56 will seal off the bag tubing in a transverse relatively narrow zone and simultaneously sever the filled and sealed-closed tubing portion from the remainder of the bag tubing through a substantially central transverse cut in said zone.
  • the longitudinal sealing jaws 37 and 38 are of an effective length exceeding the downward stroke of the pincher 47 as otherwise no continuous longitudinal seam would be achievable along the bag tubing fold slitted by the cuting edge 35 during the downward feed of the bag tubing.
  • That carton 58 at the station II which is open at its upper end and which contains a filled and sealed bag severed from the bag tubing, will be removed by the pusher mechanism 59 into the station 111 where the closing of the upper end opening of the carton 58 through folding in the adjacent carton end flaps will at least be started.
  • the apparatus should comprise means arranged to activate the said adhesive in the station 11 or later, thereby to establish a sealing bond between the inner bag and the outer casing of the package being produced.
