Definitions
- This invention regards the sequential enveloping of cards inside plastic film envelopes with characteristics that make it more difficult to open and re-close the envelopes without leaving any trace of the operation and thus obstructing attempts to tamper with the enveloped cards.
- Very often, (for example in the case of prepaid cards) sale in a closed envelope is essential to assure buyers that the card they intend to buy is intact.
- the problem is how to prevent the envelopes from being opened and then re-closed after tampering with the card contained by resealing the edges so that the envelope with the card appears intact at the moment of sale.
- the sequential wrapping of the cards is usually done by feeding a sequence of cards between two superimposed plastic films (separate or formed by longitudinal folding of a single strip of film down the middle) and sealing the film together longitudinally along the side edges and transverse between one card and the next.
- the object of the present invention is to obviate the drawbacks mentioned above by providing envelopment of cards in sealed plastic film that makes it more difficult to open and re-close envelope without ruining the original seal and/or making it easy to detect any tampering.
- a production machine for producing tamper-proof bags of cards enveloped individually in sequence in a continuous plastic film, formed of two layers of plastic film with a card in between, with the layers of film sealed longitudinally and transverse to form envelopes each containing a card, the bags being separated from each other by a transverse separation line which forms the transverse edge of the sealed envelopes, in which the two layers of film enveloping the card in between are fed into a sealing unit that produces transverse and longitudinal seals around each card, there also being means capable of shaping the edge of one sealed part of the bags in a corner area of the bags in order to conventionally join the edge of the longitudinal seal to the corresponding transverse edge identified by the separation line so as to form a non-right angle corner of the envelope.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a sequence of enveloped cards according to the principles of the invention
- - figure 2 shows an enlarged view of a variant of the bag in figure 1;
- - figure 3 shows a schematic view in perspective of the sealing area of a machine according to the invention;
- figure 4 shows a schematic view in perspective of the sealing area of an alternative embodiment of the machine according to the invention.
- figure 1 shows a sequence, generically indicated with 10, of bags 11, each containing a card 12.
- the cards are enveloped individually in sequence between the two layers of continuous plastic film with longitudinal seals 13 and transverse seals 14 that isolate each card in its own individual bag.
- the two layers of film are sealed with a seal that has at least an external edge following a path that conventionally joins the longitudinal seal with the corresponding transverse seal to form non-right angle corners 15 of the envelope.
- the corners are advantageously rounded in order to join the longitudinal and transverse edges continuousIy.
- the continuous seal has the advantage of being able to contain a repetition of the drawings along its path around the card.
- the drawings can be circles or triangles distributed along the seal (as shown schematically in figure 2).
- the transverse line 16 that separates two bags there may also be a separation line cut into the surface to obtain individual bags.
- the seal follows approximately the curvature of the corresponding rounded corner of the card.
- FIG. 3 shows schematically a wrapping machine for producing the bags described above.
- the figure schematically shows the sealing unit 17, since the various other parts of the machine, although present, such as film feeders, card cutting and sequencing stations, etc. are known and easily imaginable on the part of the technician.
- the bag production machine includes the unit 17 which is fed with two layers of continuous film 18, 19.
- the two layers of film can be formed of two separate strips or a single strip folded longitudinally in two and easily imaginable by the technician.
- the layers of film enter the sealing unit with the cards fed sequentially in between 12 (by known means not shown).
- the sealing unit makes a continuous seal around each card, the seal extending, at least on the external edge, along the arc that conventionally joins the longitudinal seal with the corresponding transverse seal to form a corner of the envelope.
- the unit comprises two counter-rotating sealing cylinders 20, 21 and on the peripheral wall a sequence of impressions 22, 23, juxtaposed on the two cylinders, with sealing edges 24, 25 that each reproduces the continuous seal which is to surround each card.
- FIG. 4 shows a possible version of a machine for producing bags according to the invention. In the version of figure 3 for the sake of simplicity the same numbers used in figure 2 for similar details but increased by 100 will be used.
- the sealing unit (indicated with 117) does not include the cutting means 26 and is instead followed by- separate means for shaping the edge in the form of a trimming and cutting unit 126.
- the sealing unit 117 produces transverse and longitudinal seals around each card, with seals that, at least on the internal edge, follow the desired path (for example, extending along an arc that follows the profile of the card) .
- the external longitudinal edge is continuous and extends beyond the final transverse dimension of the envelope.
- the sealing unit 117 includes a sequence of impressions 122, 123, juxtaposed on the two cylinders, with sealing edges 124, 125 consisting of completely circumferential parts together with straight transverse parts.
- the trimming and cutting unit 126 consists of a cutting cylinder 127 and an anvil cylinder 128 that have blades near the edges 129 that cut against anvil surfaces 130 and make the transverse cuts, and blades 131 that cut against anvil surfaces 132 making the longitudinal cuts.
- the blades and corresponding anvil surfaces which in effect punch the two layers 118, 119 of film joined together and sealed, are profiled so as to form, on the external edge of the bag, the corner cut in the shape of an arc 115 that joins (with any shape preferred) the longitudinal seal with the corresponding cross cut 133.
- the off-cut 134 is automatically separated from the strip of cards 112 enclosed in bags and can be advantageously collected separately.
- the blades can be straight or scissor type to facilitate cutting.
- the advantage of this second embodiment consists in the possibility of regulating the sealing pressure, applied between cylinders 120 and 121 of the sealing unit, independently from that of the trimming and cutting unit, applied between the cylinders 127 and 128 that make up the unit 126. If the blades 129 and 131 have the same depth the bags are completely separated. If they are not to be separated definitively but it is desired to facilitate their detachment later, the depth of the blades 129 must be different from the depth of the blades 131, this difference in depth corresponding to the depth of the transverse cut and thus to the force necessary to obtain the separation of the bags.
- Another advantageous method of producing cuts consists of making regular gaps in the anvil surfaces 130, still leaving the blades 129 as deep as the blades 131, so as to keep the bags connected by short sections of film.
- the seals can contain writing, logos or other distinguishing marks.
- the arc of the seal can also be approximated by a broken line.
- the transverse and longitudinal seals and corresponding transverse and longitudinal cuts or surface cuts can also be obtained using separate sealing and cutting units, easily conceived by the technician.
