Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for making and filling wrappers with bottom fold by means of a cigarette wrapping machine comprising a circulating device which carries folding mandrels and on which the wrappers are prepared.
  • the device comprises a conveyor for conveying cigarette blocks.
  • the cigarette blocks are, by means of a wrapper transfer device, moved into wrappers placed upon the conveyor while the wrapper transfer device includes a gripper for withdrawing from the circulating device'wrappers which are open at one end facen
  • the device furthermore comprises a gripper for depositing said wrappers upon the conveyor.
  • the withdrawal gripper is adapted to be lifted and turned in order to depositing gripper, said wrappers arriving with their wide sides perpendicular to the conveying plane. In this way the depositing gripper is able to deposit the wrappers with the wide sides upon the conveyor.
  • the withdrawal gripper has to carry out a withdrawal movement in vertical direction and a rotating movement, a specific control requiring relatively many parts is necessary.
  • an object of the present invention to provide a transfer device of the above mentioned general type, in which the wrappers are deposited on the conveyor by simple movements and are without control devices placed into receiving position.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a circulating device and also shows the wrapping transfer means and a portion of the conveyor.
  • the device according to the present invention is characterized primarily in that the withdrawing gripper carries out a reciprocatory movement and in that the depositing gripper carries out a pivoting movement as a result of which the wrappers are placed with their narrow side upon the conveyor.
  • the device according to the invention is furthermore characterized in that below the conveying path there is arranged a shifting lever which rotates continuously about an axis which is parallel to the conveying direction and by means of an end portion protruding from a slot in the conveyor brings about a tilting over of the deposited wrapper.
  • the folding mandrel 6 which carries the wrapper blank, moves into the region of longitudinal folding means 16 which brings about the lateral folding of the wrapper 4.
  • the wrapper bottom is produced so that the folding mandrel 6 carries a finished folded wrapper 4 when it enters the upper arch-shaped circulating section.
  • FIG. I shows that the withdrawal of the wrapper 4 from the folded mandrel 6 is effected by'means of a withdrawing gripper 25.
  • This gripper merely carries out a reciprocatory vertical movement and is equipped with lateral suction nozzles.
  • This position of the wrapper 4 is indicated in FIG. 1 by dot-dash lines.
  • the wrapper 4 Before the next cigarette block 3 oncoming on the conveyer 1 can be inserted into wrapper 4, the wrapper 4 has to be turned over onto its wide side.
  • a continuously rotating turnover lever 27 which is connected to a shaft 28, which latter extends in longitudinal direction below the conveyor 1.
  • the turnover lever 27 protrudes slightly from a slot into the path of the conveyor 1 in order to engage the wrappers 4 which have been deposited upon the conveyor 1 with their narrow side.
  • the conveyor path is within the region of the deposited wrappers 4 provided with a circular recess la, and on its upper side carries a counter holder 29 as well as a guiding plate 30.
  • a packaging device having a horizontal feed path with longitudinal edges along which articles in the shape of parallelepipeds move in a direction parallel to said longitudinal edges and with the broad sides on the top and bottom respectively means adjacent said path for supplying wrappers for receiving said articles and including parallelepiped mandrels on which wrappers corresponding in shape to said articles are formed with one end closed and the other end open, said mandrels presenting wrappers in succession to a station with the wrappers vertical and with the closed ends lowermost and with the broad sides of the wrappers parallel to said feed path, the improvement comprising first gripper means operable to grip a wrapper in said station and move the wrapper vertically downwardly off the respective mandrel, second gripper means operable to engage a wrapper thus withdrawn and turn the wrapper bodily into said feed path and release it thereon with the open end facing the approaching articles, and with the broad sides of the wrapper vertically disposed, and rotating means for rotating the thus released said wrapper about a longitudinal axis thereof to dispose the broad sides thereof on the
  • a packaging device which includes a stationary holder element which engages the wrapper being rotated near the top on a side opposite the side engaged by said rotating lever.
  • a packaging device which includes a guide member opposite said locating member to guide the rotating wrappers into engagement with said locating member.
  • a packaging device in which said feed path is formed by flat plate means, and including an upwardly concave longitudinal recess in said flat plate means in which said wrapper is deposited by said second gripper means, said recess being formed about an axis parallel to said feed path and facilitating rotation of said wrapper about the longitudinal axis thereof.
