Definitions

  • Cigarette Package Mappings cigarette packaging machines in which paper cuts are 52 CL U 93/12 Q, 93/36 MM 93/1316 1, successively withdrawn from a stack of cuts and are by 156/578 heated transmission rollers which have picked up an [5]] Int Cl B3) 1/30 5 1/62 1331b 1/64 adhesive from a heated adhesive containing storage [58] Field of Search 156/578; 93/12, R, 2 container provided at selected areas with adhesive and 93/36 MM, 8 R I 1; 53/383, 388 are subsequently by a folding device folded to form a package wrapping for receiving a block of cigarettes.
  • the present invention relates to a device for producing cigarette package wrappings on cigarette-packing machines from cuts of paper or cardboard which are withdrawn from a stack, provided by a segment roller cooperating with a transfer roller, at certain areas with an adhesive from an adhesive container, and are folded to form a unilaterally open wrapping on a folding device with folding mandrels circulating on an endless chain and by stationary folding switches and folding thumbs, whereupon the wrapping is deposited on a conveyor to receive blocks of cigarettes provided with an envelope.
  • an object of the present invention to provide a device for preparing cigarette package wrappings on cigarette wrapping machines which without regard to the device for the glue application will be ready to start at any time and willalso during forced machine idlingnot furnish any incompletely glued ciga rette package wrappings.
  • a device is created according to the present invention which without cleaning the device for the application of the adhesive will be ready to start at any time;
  • a non-desired or incomplete gluing of the cigarette package wrappings will be prevented.
  • These cigarette package wrappings will, by the application of pressure and the defined cooling off, safely be glued at the finish folded areas also when the cigarette wrapping machine had to be stopped in view of a failure or disturbance.
  • the transfer rollers and the segment rollers are respectively provided with a rotating electric heating cartridge.
  • a conveyor path 1 is shown of the cigarette wrapping machine, on which path cigarette blocks 3 provided with a foil envelope are conveyed by followers 2.
  • Each cigarette block 3 is to be inserted into a package wrapping 4 which is produced on a folding device located above the conveyor path 1 and with its open end face is, in the direction toward the oncoming cigarette blocks 3, deposited on the conveyor path 1.
  • the wrapping 4 is held stationary by a controlled abutment 5 which, following the insertion of the respective cigarette block, is moved out of the path of movement of the cigarette blocks 3.
  • the folding device used for producing the package wrappings 4 comprises a plurality of folding mandrels 6 which are connected to an endless chain 7 circulating in steps.
  • This chain 7 is driven by a driving roller 8 and is passed around a reversing roller 9 which, in the specific embodiment illustrated in the drawing, is located vertically above the driving roller 8.
  • a reversing roller 9 which, in the specific embodiment illustrated in the drawing, is located vertically above the driving roller 8.
  • the individual cuts 11 are withdrawn from the stack by a suction device 12 and are conveyed to two transport rollers 13.
  • One of these transport rollers 13 cooperates with a segment roller 14 which at its segments is, by a transfer roller 15, provided with a meltable adhesive stored in an adhesive container 16.
  • the adhesive container 6 is equipped with a heating device 17.
  • the segment rollers 14, as well as the transfer roller 15 comprise electrical heating cartridges 18 which rotate together with said rollers, in order to maintain the adhesive in liquid condition during the application of the adhesive.
  • the cut 11 is, by a controlled lever 19, pushed onto one of the folding mandrels 6, the wide sides of which are parallel to its path of movement.
  • the folding mandrel 6 which carries the cut 11 moves into the region of longitudinal folders 20 which bring about the lateral folding of the package wrapping 4.
  • a controlled folding thumb 21, as well as by folding switches 22 and 23 the bottom of the package wrapping 4 is produced so that the mandrel 6 carries a package wrapping 4 which is folded with the exception of one end face when the mandrel enters the upper arc-shaped circulating section.
  • a heating device 24 each, by means of which the meltable' adhesive on the finish folded package wrapping 4 is reactivated by heating.
  • the reactivation is concluded by a heating section 25 adjacent to the arc-shaped circulating section.
  • This heating section 25 is arranged on a pressing strip 26 which latter produces the necessary pressure for a safe gluing of the package wrapping 4.
  • This pressing strip 26 which is provided with the heating section 25 is followed by a cooling-off section 27, by means of which, while the pressed-on pressure is maintained, a consolidation of the adhesive and thus a safe gluing of the package wrappings 4 is effected.
  • the cooling off of the cooling-off section 27 may be effected, for instance, by
  • air currents at low temperature which are supplied through air conduits 28.
  • each folding mandrel 6 there is provided a springurged arresting holder 29 which, after completion of the longitudinal folding, is placed upon the glue seam of the package wrapping 4 and presses against the same until the package wrapping 4 is withdrawn from the folding mandrel 6.
  • the holder 29 is, by means of a pressure lever 31 lifted off from the folding mandrel 6 so that the package wrapping 4 can be pulled downwardly.
  • the withdrawal of the package wrapping 4 from the folding mandrel 6 is effected by means of a withdrawing gripper 32 which withdraws the finished package wrapping 4 not only vertically downwardly from the respective folding mandrel 6, but in addition thereto, turns the same by 90 so that it can subsequently, with its wide side, be deposited upon the conveyor path 1.
  • the package wrapping 4, which is open at its end face, will then with the finish glued bottom, engage the abutment so that a cigarette block 3 conveyed thereto by a follower 2 can be inserted into the open end face of the package wrapping 4.
  • a device for preparing cigarette package wrappings on cigarette packaging machines from cuts of paper and cardboard which includes: storage means for storing cuts of papers and cardboards, withdrawing means arranged adjacent said storage means for withdrawing cuts one at a time from said storage means, adhesive container means adapted to receive adhesive, heating means associated with said container means for maintaining adhesive in said container means in liquid condition, transmission roller means for picking up adhesive from said container means and including a segment roller for applying adhesive to selected areas of a cut withdrawn from said storage means.
  • heating means associated with said transmission roller means for heating the same and thereby the adhesive thereon folding means operatively connected to said withdrawing means and comprising endless conveyor means including circulating folding mandrels and stationary folding switches and folding thumbs for receiving cuts with adhesive applied thereto from said transmission roller means and folding said cuts to a package open at one end, and means for releasing said last mentioned package onto a conveyor for receiving a cigarette block, pressure strip means arranged at the end of said folding means for pressing glued portions of a folded package together, and heating means associated with said strip means for heating same, said strip means being followed by a cooling path for cooling off pressed together package sections.
  • a device which includes electric heating cartridge means respectively connected to said transmission roller means for rotation therewith and forming the heating means therefor.
