Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for forming three-dimensional soft shapes and packages of paper material, and a package obtained by the method.
- An object of the invention is to provide a method for forming three- dimensional soft shapes and packages of paper material.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a method for forming very lightweight shapes and packages of low cost and able to be reduced to a minimal size after use.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a method for forming shapes and packages which are biodegradable.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a method for forming shapes and packages of the most varied configurations.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view showing a device for implementing the method for forming shapes and packages according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows a first modification thereof
- Figure 3 shows a second modification thereof
- Figure 4 shows a third modification thereof
- Figure 5 shows a fourth modification thereof
- Figure 6 shows a package obtained by the method
- Figure 7 shows a device used to form closed shapes
- Figure 8 shows a modification thereof
- Figure 9 shows a package obtained with the device of Figure 8.
- the method of the invention uses a substantially flat frame 2 comprising an aperture 4, the shape of which corresponds to the mouth of the package to be obtained.
- a sheet 6 of yieldable paper having a degree of yieldability such as to enable it to be permanently extended transversely and longitudinally by at least 8%, and preferably 20%, and of very high ultimate tensile stress to ensure that the final desired configuration is obtained without tearing.
- the paper material can comprise a number of sheets, or comprise added lacquers, inks or glues, or be formed by joining a number of sheets together with water-based glue.
- the yieldable paper material is preferably produced by traditional methods which do not in themselves form part of the invention, and are not further described.
- the sheet of paper material is then applied to the support aperture and secured to the closed edge of this aperture, for example by means of a ring 8.
- a jet of compressed air is then fed onto said yieldable paper sheet to stretch the sheet and hence cause it to assume a substantially spherical cap shape
- the membrane 10 and superposed yieldable paper sheet 12 are again used, but stretching is effected by a punch 14, the head of which is shaped in accordance with the half-shell to be obtained. Again in this case the effect of the mechanical action performed by the punch is to stretch the yieldable paper.
- This mechanical effect is preferably combined with a pneumatic effect, for which purpose the punch 14 comprises a plurality of channels 15 through which the paper material can be struck by an air jet (see Figure 4).
- a counter-mould 16 reproducing the final shape of the object to be formed is applied to the frame on the same side as the yieldable paper sheet.
- the compressed air jet acting on the membrane stretches the yieldable paper against the base of the cavity of the counter-mould 16, to obtain a shape complementary to said base.
- the yieldable paper sheet is stretched by an air stream with polystyrene chips added.
- particulate material is added to the air stream.
- the yieldable paper sheet is stretched by producing a vacuum and hence drawing the yieldable paper sheet into the mould.
- the frame consists of two half- moulds 2,2' movable relative to each other and each comprising a cavity bounded by an edge 18 having an interruption 20.
- the half-mould cavities, their bounding edges and the edge interruptions perfectly mate when the two half-moulds are brought together.
- the cavity of each half-mould is prolonged outwards as a conduit 22 which opens in correspondence with the interruption 20 provided in the edge 18 bounding the cavity, and mates with the adjacent conduit of the other half-mould.
- a yieldable paper sheet 24 is rested on each half-mould, between the two facing yieldable paper sheets there being inserted an elastic membrane 26 of the balloon form with its mouth 28 positioned substantially in correspondence with the conduit 22.
- the two half-moulds are then brought together and those parts of the sheets in mutual contact are joined together by known methods.
- a compressed fluid is fed through the mouth 28 of the membrane 26 to stretch the two sheets of paper material retained by their edges, to cause them to adhere to the surface of the respective cavity.
- the two half-moulds are spaced apart to allow removal of a paper package with a configuration corresponding to the cavity of the two half-moulds.
- the compressed fluid is expelled from the balloon membrane, which is then extracted from the paper package.
- This embodiment also has the further advantage that when the product contained in the container has been consumed, the yieldable paper envelope can be torn up and disposed of in appropriate containers for paper, while the impermeable bag can be disposed of in a different container for sorted collection.
- the method consists of inserting into a tunnel-shaped mould 30 with a profiled wall, a yieldable paper sheet 32 having its longitudinally edges joined together to form a tube. After applying two end plugs 34 to the mould, air is blown in through suitable apertures (not shown on the drawings) to obtain the shape 36 shown in Figure 9.
