Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the packaging art, and more particularly, to a three-dimensional insert construction provided in a continuous web of inserts that may readily be handled by automated packaging equipment or the like.
  • Packaging apparatus particularly adapted for handling inserts or coupons provided in the continuous web are known in the art from, for example, Kotsiopoulos' U.S. Pat. No. 5,079,901, assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
  • This document describes an apparatus and system that receives a continuous web of coupons, provides a forwardmost coupon between pairs of feed rolls and burst rolls, and at a desired time, separates the forwardmost coupon from the continuous web by applying a bursting tension to a transverse perforation separating the forwardmost coupon from the next succeeding coupon.
  • the separated coupon is then passed to a point of insertion at a desired time such as into a moving container based on signals provided by timing circuitry.
  • the present invention provides these and other additional objects with a three-dimensional insert comprising a piece of cardstock or paperboard defined by first and second opposed ends.
  • a thermosealable, olefin coating or film is applied to the top surface of the board.
  • An overwrap material is contacted with the coating and is bonded therewith to provide a seal between the overwrap material and the laminate surface of the card.
  • This arrangement presents relatively consistent surfaces that are readily grasped by coupon processing equipment. In this way, a prize or other three-dimensional object is retained in the overwrap without moving toward the peripheral sides utilized in handling the insert.
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric view of first and second inserts provided in a continuous web of inserts according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a piece of cardstock laminated with an adhesive material on two peripheral edges of the cardstock
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the insert shown in FIG. 1 taken along the lines 3 — 3 .
  • the present invention relates to an insert used in a packaging application.
  • the insert is particularly suited for handling by automated processing equipment such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,549,233, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • Such equipment is adapted to engage the peripheral side edges of the insert while a three-dimensional object located in the central portion of the insert passes between the sets of rolls to enable handling of various types of three-dimensional objects.
  • the three-dimensional object may be a premium, prize or a package component that is intended to be inserted into a container such as a cereal lox, bag or pouch.
  • the insert may be a packet of flavoring or seasoning that is intended to be placed into a container, while remaining physically separated from the remaining contents of the container.
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric view of first and second inserts or coupons 10 , 12 provided in a continuous web or stream of inserts.
  • each of the inserts 10 , 12 includes a three-dimensional piece or object 10 p, 12 p while will ultimately be placed within a container or the like.
  • the objects 10 p, 12 p may be prizes or the like provided in cereal boxes, bread wrappers or other suitable containers.
  • the pieces 10 p, 12 p may be small packages which are utilized in food packaging or other similar applications.
  • the inserts 10 , 12 are preferably provided in a continuous web format and are separated from each other by a perforation 14 disposed to extend transversely to the web which connects inserts 10 , 12 together. The remaining inserts in the web are similarly connected to each other.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a relatively flat piece 20 of cardstock, paperboard or other material having a suitable rigidity to withstand processing by automated handling equipment.
  • the cardstock piece provides structural support for the insert.
  • the cardstock piece is defined by a pair of ends 20 e, a pair of opposed sides 20 s, and a top surface.
  • FIG. 2 also shows the cardstock piece 20 having a thermosealable laminate 22 applied to the entire top surface of the cardstock.
  • the laminate 22 is an olefin-based polyethylene material or other material having suitable thermo-sealing characteristics.
  • a pair of laminate adhesive strips may be applied to the peripheral edges of the cardstock piece 20 , preferably proximate to the sides 20 s.
  • the card 20 may be laminated with a heat sealable polyethylene material strips that extend the lengthwise dimension of the piece 20 between ends 20 e.
  • the laminate adhesive may be applied to the top surface of the cardstock piece in other forms, such as in the form of spaced lands or the like.
  • the cardstock piece 20 with thermo-sealable laminated and object 10 p are surrounded by a plastic overwrap material such as overwrap material 26 .
  • the overwrap material may be utilized to circumscribe the object and cardstock 20 to provide a barrier with the outside such as an aseptically packaged insert.
  • the overwrap material ends 26 e are heat sealed together to provide a transverse band which is then perforated or otherwise weakened proximate to the ends 20 e of the cardstock.
  • the sides 26 s of the overwrap material are also preferably heat sealed or otherwise bonded to affixed to the lateral sides of the laminate surface 22 to completely enclose the three-dimensional object.
  • One alternative method for engaging the overwrap material with the lateral sides of the laminate surface 22 is with the use of rollers or the like which provides a suitable compressive forces to the overwrap material and laminate to provide a seal therebetween.
  • a seal is provided between the overwrap material and the thermo-sealable laminate surface of the cardstock at locations proximate to the side edges of the cardstock piece.
  • the overwrap material is fabricated of the same material as the laminate, for example an olefin-based material.
  • the overwrap may be fabricated of a different material so long as its bonding characteristics are such that it will be readily secured with the laminate surface 22 upon the application of heat and/or compressive forces applied to the lateral edges of the cardstock piece.
  • the three-dimensional object such as a promotional piece or packet is prevented from being laterally moved or dislodged toward the peripheral side edges of the insert and is kept away from the handling equipment.
  • this arrangement presents relatively flat, uniform side surfaces which are the portions of the insert to be handled by the processing equipment.
  • the web of inserts is presented to handling apparatus which engages the sides of the insert.
  • spaced pairs of feed rolls engage the side edges of the forwardmost insert in the web and pass the coupon downstream to a pre-dispense location, preferably such that the forwardmost coupon is engaged by spaced pairs of burst rolls while the perforation separating the forwardmost coupon is disposed between the pairs of feed rolls and the burst rolls.
  • the burst rolls are rotated at relative angular speed greater than that of the feed rolls to apply a bursting tension to the perforation between the forwardmost coupon and the next succeeding coupon to disengage the forwardmost coupon from the remainder of the web and to position the coupon into a container or the like.
  • three-dimensional inserts of the type described above may be readily placed into containers.
