A take-up roll 60 is disposed above the free -rotation roll 6 and contacted therewith s ch that it rotates along with the free-rotation roll 6. The take-up roll 60 is for winding the flat vinyl-tube strip with a sealing line and a tearing line formed thereon by the upper and lower rolls 1, 2.
[36] Here, the term 'forward' denotes a direction, in which the flat vinyl-tube strip advances in the apparatus of the invention. In addition, the flat vinyl-tube strip with the sealing and tearing lines formed thereon is hereinafter referred to as a 'packing vinyl- envelope strip.' [37] FIGS 4 and 5 illustrate in greater detail the stricture of the upper and lower rolls of the apparatus in FIG. 3.
[38] Referring to FIGS 3 to 5, the upper roll 1 is provided with upper roll gears 11, 11' at both ends thereof, and the lower roll 2 also is provided with lower roll gears 22, 22'. The lower roll gear 22, 22' are engaged with the upper roll gears 11, 11', so that the upper and lower rolls 1, 2 are rotated in opposite direction to each other by the rotation of the lower roll pulley 21.
[39] As shown in FIG. 4, the upper roll 1 has a cylinder-like shape, and a slip ring 14 is disposed inwards of the upper roll gear 11'. The upper roll 1 includes an upper roll groove 12 formed lengthwise thereon, a crew hole 13 formed along the upper roll groove 12 in certain intervals, and a guide 3 installed inside the upper roll groove 12.
[40] The guide 3 is placed in the upper roll groove 12 formed lengthwise of the upper roll 1. The guide 3 is composed of a guide body 31, and a toothed blade 34 disposed near the guide body 31. The guide body 31 has a 'L' shape.
[41] The guide body 31 is provided with a projection 36 formed on top thereof, i.e., at the top of the 'L' shape. The projection 36 is for heat-sealing the flat vinyl-tube, as shown in FIG. 7. The guide body 31 is provided with through-holes 33 formed in certain intervals along the length thereof, the position of which are corresponding to that the crew holes 13 formed in the upper roll groove 12. Therefore, the guide body 31 is attached inside the upper roll groove 12 by fastening a screw 35 through the through-holes 33 and the screw holes 13.
[42] A heating wire 32 is inserted inside the guide body 3. The heating wire 32 is electrically connected to the slip ring 14, which is slidably contacted with an external power source, as understood to those skilled in the art.
[43] As described above, the lower roll 2 is disposed below the upper roll 1. It is understood to those skilled in the art that the positions of the upper and lower rolls 1, 2 can be switched to each other in order to obtain the effects of the invention.
[44] As illustrated in FIG. 5, the lower roll 2 is provided with a lower roll groove 23 formed lengthwise thereof. The position of the lower roll groove 23 is configured such that it corresponds to that of the upper roll groove 12, i.e., the guide 3 of the upper roll 1, when the upper and lower rolls 1, 2 rotates. An elastic pad 24 sich as a rubber pad is installed in the lower roll groove 23. The elastic pad 24 cooperates with the guide 3 in order to form a sealing line and a tearing line in the flat vinyl-tube. This process will be hereafter explained in detail, in conjunction with the operation of the apparatus of the invention. [45] FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a take-up roll for winding a packing vinyl-envelope strip in the apparatus of FIG. 1. As previously described, the take-up roll 60 is disposed above the free-rotation roll 6 and rotates contacted therewith. The take-up roll 60 is used for winding the packing vinyl-envelope strip formed from the upper and lower rolls 1, 2.
[46] As shown in FIG. 6, the take-up roll 60 includes a take-up roll tube 9 for winding the packing vinyl-envelope strip, and a roll tube supporter 8, preferably made of a rubber material, to be inserted into both ends of the take-up roll tube. Therefore, the take-up roll tube 9 can be replaced by a new one after winding a certain amount of packing vinyl-tube strip. The roll tube supporter 8 is provided with a flange formed thereabout, so that the flange is in contact with the free-rotation roll 6, thereby rotating the take-up tube 9 inserted into the roll tube supporter 8
[47] As understood to those skilled in the art, the rotation of the upper and lower rollers 1, 2 and the take-up roll 60 are controlled by an inverter speed control sensor sich that the flat vinyl-tube or packing vinyl-envelope strip can be prevented from tearing or wrinkling during the operation of the apparatus of the invention.
[48] The assembling procedure of the apparatus for manufacturing a packing vinyl- envelope stripe is briefly described below. First, the guide body 31 and the toothed blade 34 are inserted into the upper roll groove 12 of the upper roll 1, and the screw 35 is fastened to the screw hole 13 through the through-hole 33.
[49] The elastic pad 24 such as a rubber pad is inserted into and fixed to the lower roll groove 23 of the lower roll 2. The upper and lower rolls 1, 2 are installed in the supporter 400 sich that the upper roll gear 11, 11' is engaged with the lower roll gear 22, 22, and the position of the upper roll groove 12 corresponds to that of the lower roll groove 22 when they rotate. A cover 100 may be installed.
[50] The roll tube supporter 8 is inserted into the take-up roll tube 9 to assemble the take-up roll 60. The assembled take-up roll 60 is installed in the supporter 400 sich that it can be rotated by the rotation of the free -rotation roll 6.
[51] The reduction motor 5 is rotatably connected with the lower roll pulley 21 by using the belt 4, and the free-rotation roll pulley 7 is rotatably connected with the lower roll pulley 21 by using another belt 4.
[52] FIG. 7 shows a sealing process of a flat vinyl-tube strip according to one embodiment of the invention, and FIG. 8 shows an operation of a stop-sensor in the apparatus of the invention. The operation of the apparatus of the invention is described below, referring to FIGS 1 to 8 [53] The release roll 10 with a flat vinyl-tube strip wound thereabout is installed in the release roll supporter 10-1 of the base frame 400. One end of the flat vinyl- tube strip is unwound from the release roll 10 and wound around the take-up roll 60 via the upper and lower rolls 1, 2.
[54] Thereafter, when the reduction motor 5 is operated, the upper and lower rolls 1, 2 are rotated. Simultaneously, the free-rotation roll 6 and the take-up roll 60 are rotated, due to the constriction of the apparatus of the invention, as described above. Therefore, The take-up roll tube 9 continuously winds the packing vinyl-envelope strip, and the release roll 10 continuously releases the flat vinyl-tube strip, which is converted into the packing vinyl-envelope strip while passing through between the upper and lower rolls 1, 2, as shown in FIG. 7.
[55] When the upper and lower rolls 1, 2 are rotated, they cooperate with each other to form a sealing line and a tearing line in the flat vinyl-tube strip in certain intervals, which is determined by the size of the upper and lower rolls 1, 2. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the guide 3 of the upper roll 1 contacts with the elastic pad 23 of the lower roll 2 when the sealing and tearing lines are formed.
[56] On the other hand, the guide 3 of the upper roll 1 is heated by the heating wire 32 inserted thereto, and the projection 36 for hot-sealing the flat vinyl-tube is also heated up. Therefore, when the heated projection 36 contacts with the elastic pad 24 with the vinyl-tube therebetween, a sealing line is formed in the vinyl-tube in a transversal direction, as shown in FIG. 7(B). Immediately after the sealing line is formed, a tearing line is formed by the toothed-blade 34 of the upper roll 1 in cooperation with the elastic pad 24, as shown in FIG. 7(C). Therefore, every rotation of the upper and lower rolls 1, 2 forms one packing vinyl-envelope with the sealing line, which can be torn apart along the tearing line. While the above process is repeated, a packing vinyl- envelope strip, in which the packing vinyl-envelope is connected one after another, is continuously produced, and wound around the take-up roll tube 9.
[57] When a certain amount of packing vinyl-envelope strip is wound around the take- up tube 9, the operation of the apparatus is stopped in order to replace the take-up roll tube with a new one. At this time, the apparatus is provided with a stop-sensor 40, so that it stops always in the state where the guide 3 of the upper roll 1 is placed at the upper position of the upper roll 1, and the elastic pad 24 sich as a rubber pad of the lower roll 2 is placed at the lower position of the lower roll 2. Therefore, the flat vinyl- tube strip between the upper and lower rolls 1, 2 is prevented from being damaged by the heated guide 3 or the toothed-blade 34 during the replacement of the take-up roll tube 9. Industrial Applicability
[58] As described above, the apparatus for manufacturing a packing vinyl-envelope strip uses a pair of upper and lower rolls having a heat-sealing tool and a toothed blade, which can forms a sealing line and a tearing line at the same time in a flat vinyl-tube strip, while it passes between the upper and lower rolls, and the packing vinyl- envelope strip is automatically wound around a take-up roll. Therefore, it provides for a simplicity of the apparatus and an easy operation thereof.
[59] While the present invention has been described with reference to the particular illustrative embodiments, it is not to be restricted by the embodiments but only by the appended claims. It is to be appreciated that those skilled in the art can change or modify the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
