APPARATUS FOR PRINTING AND HANDLING HOLLOW BODIES BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic printer for the imprinting of hollow bodies, such as cups, cans, sleeves, or the like, and more particularly to an improved printer including means for continuously conveying therethrough the hollow bodies to be imprinted. 1
Printing and decorating machines of similar character are disclosed in US. Pat. Nos. 3,685,441 and 3,195,451.
More specifically, the automatic printer of the pres ent invention involves a device which includes an improved revolving carrier wheel operating as an indexing mechanism and having spokes thereon adapted to have the hollow bodies supported on the ends of the spokes in imprinting position. In such printers known in the art, certain drawbacks arise with regard to the removal of the hollow bodies, due to the fact that the bodies are not transported in their ideal position and that a requircment arises for the incorporation of costly speed impeding devices.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved automatic printer that overcomes the drawbacks of prior art mechanisms.
In accordance with the present invention, an automatic printer of the type described is provided with pressure rollers which operate to firmly press the hollow bodies onto the ends of the spokes of the revolving carrier wheel as the bodies are delivered thereto from a delivery mechanism. Stationery lifting flanks joining the carrier wheel and arranged laterally thereof operate together with air nozzles to facilitate the lifting of the hollow bodies from the spoke ends for delivery to a suction device which operates to convey the hollow bodies onto a drying belt which is arranged between the suction device and the hollow body feeder mechanism. In operation, hollow bodies are fed into engagement with the ends of the spokes and after the imprinting operation they are removed therefrom and engaged by the suction device which transports them to the drying belt for further processing.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the suction device is configured in the form of an elongated conveyor belt.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its use, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there are illustrated and described preferred embodiments of the invention.
IN THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a partial view showing the mechanism of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a top view of the mechanism showing the imprinting means; and
FIG. 2a is a schematic view showing the outline of a slot formed in a portion of the mechanism of FIGS. I and 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to the drawings, there is shown an automatic printer including a frame (not shown) having side walls 1 and 2. A printing mechanism 3 includes an inking device 4. A revolving carrier wheel 5 mounted on the output shaft of an indexing mechanism 8 operatively associated with the printing mechanism includes 0 radially extending carriers 6 arranged in the form of spokes whose ends are adapted to have the hollow bodies to be processed supported thereon. A hollow body feeder mechanism 7 is arranged to deliver the hollow body 24 for engagement with the carrier 6. For the sake of clarity, the indexing mechanism 8, which is conventional and within the knowledge of those skilled in the art, is not shown in detail.
In their imprinting position, the hollow bodies 24 to be imprinted are firmly compressed upon the hollow body carriers 6 by means of a pressure roller 9, with stationery lifting flanks 10 being arranged in a delivery position laterally adjoining the revolving carrier wheel 5. Air nozzles 11 are operatively associated with the lifting flanks I0 and a suction conveyor 15 is arranged above the revolving carrier wheel 5. A drying belt 23 is arranged between the suction device 15 and the hollow body feeder device 7 for accommodating the im printed hollow bodies 24.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the suction device 15 is provided with continuously revolving conveyor belts 12 and 13 and with a suction box having a suction line 16. A slot 14 defined between the conveyor belts 12 and 13 is also provided and a pair of conveyor belt rollers 17. are arranged to have one of the rollers 17 connected with a belt pulley 18 which, by means of belts 19, drives a drying belt 23 through a belt pulley 20 and gears 21, 22. The slot 14 in the suction box 15 is designed in such a way that it comprises a rectangular elongated configuration, or it may be tapered from one of its ends to the other with the wider end of the slot facing the delivery side of the mechanism. The contour of the slot 14 is best seen in FIG. 2a.
In the operation of the device, the hollow bodies 24 which are to be imprinted are placed upon the feeder mechanism 7 and are conveyed to the hollow body carrier 6 in the imprinting position. The pressure roll 9 firmly presses the hollow bodies 24 onto the carriers 6. At a delivery station, stationary lifting flanks l0 arranged to be laterally adjoining the revolving carrier wheel 5 and which include air nozzles 11, facilitate lifting and removal of the hollow bodies 24 from the carrier 6 at the point where the hollow bodies pass beneath the suction device 15. It will be apparent that the lifting flanks l0 engage the hollow bodies 24 to alleviate engagement with the carrier 6 and that the nozzles 11 provide an upwardly directed air stream to assist in conveying the hollow bodies 24 into engagement with the slot 14. The slot 14 in the suction box 15 operates to enable the hollow bodies 24 to be drawn toward the conveyor belts l2, l3 and to be carried thereby to the drying belt 23 for placement thereupon.
From the drying belt 23, the dried hollow bodies are further conveyed to a delivery station (not shown).
While specific embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the inventive principles, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.
