Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of producing a packet.
  • the present invention relates to a method of producing a packet of cigarettes, to which the following description refers purely by way of example.
  • hot-melt gum is deposited on certain portions of a blank, the blank is folded about a group of cigarettes, and the gum is melted by applying heating plates to the outer surface of the blank, at the gum-coated portions.
  • a method of producing a packet from a blank comprising at least one portion coated with hot-melt gum; the method comprising a melt step to melt the gum by heating; and the method being characterized i that the gum is light-absorbent, and the melt step is performed by irradiating the gum-coated portion of the blank with light to heat the gum.
  • the present invention also relates to a device for producing a packet.
  • a device for producing a packet from a sheet of packing material comprising at least one portion coated with hot-melt gum; the device comprising a melt unit for melting the gum by heating; and the device being characterized in that the gum is light-absorbent, and the melt unit comprises a light source for irradiating the gum-coated portion.
  • the present invention also relates to a sheet of packing material for producing a packet.
  • a sheet of packing material for producing a packet and comprising at least one portion coated with hot-melt gum; the sheet of packing material being characterized in that the gum is light-absorbent.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic view in perspective of a detail of a device in accordance with the present invention
  • Figure 2 shows a schematic view in perspective of a further detail of a device in accordance with the present invention
  • Figure 3 shows a packet of cigarettes formed using the device in Figures 1 and 2.
  • FIG. 1 indicates as a whole a device for producing a "soft" packet 2 of cigarettes; which device 1 comprises a known linear conveyor (not shown) for feeding a blank 3 in a direction A through a gumming unit 4 and a melt unit 5.
  • gumming unit 4 hot-melt gum is deposited on certain portions 6 of blank 3 to form gummed portions 7; and the gum of gummed portions 7 is melted at melt unit 5.
  • blank 3 is folded about a respective group 8 of cigarettes wrapped in a sheet of foil to form packet 2 of cigarettes .
  • Gumming unit 4 comprises two gumming nozzles 9 and 10, each for depositing gum on respective portions 6 of blank 3.
  • the gum comprises a substantially known adhesive thermoplastic material, and a substantially known light- absorbent pigment, in particular for absorbing light in the 350 nm to 1 mm wavelength range, and preferably infrared light.
  • the gum is dark-coloured, in particular black.
  • Melt unit 5 comprises a source 11 of light of wavelengths absorbable by said gum, in particular in the 350 nm to 1 mm range, and preferably comprising infrared light.
  • light source 11 comprises a quartz-iodine lamp.
  • light source 11 comprises a laser source for emitting light comprising a laser beam. It should be noted that source 11 is relatively compact and inexpensive.
  • blank 3 with gummed portions 7 is irradiated by light from source 11, the pigment in the gum of gummed portions 7 absorbs the light, thus heating and melting the gum.
  • blank 3 is fed to a known folding unit (not shown) , where blank 3 is folded about group 8 of cigarettes.
  • blank 3 may be folded and irradiated substantially simultaneously. In which case, it is important to stress that each portion 7 is irradiated before being superimposed on a further portion of blank 3.
  • blank 3 is less light- absorbent, i.e. is lighter in colour, than the gum.
  • teachings of the present invention obviously also apply to producing packets of cigarettes of all types, e.g. conventional hinged-lid packets with rounded or beveled edges; in which case, blank 3 is defined by a sheet of rigid cardboard packing material , and has fold lines .
  • Blank 3 may be provided with gummed portions 7 before being fed to device 1, e.g. during production of the blank.
