Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rolled link roll conditioned on a display and its production process.
  • the coiled link roll will be called a bobbin.
  • the link is cut to the required length using a cutting tool.
  • the bobbins are usually sold in long lengths of wire, for example, about 25 m.
  • conditioned bobbins Two main types of conditioned bobbins are known: the bobbins contained in rigid shells and the coils wrapped in semi-rigid sheaths.
  • the bobbins currently packaged on a display with a rigid shell are, for example, arranged in a cell or cap of rigid plastic material which does not provide, after opening, a satisfactory unwinding of the wire, since the latter is uncontrolled.
  • the cost of the display is quite high.
  • Rigid shells can be of the refill type or for single use.
  • the bobbins according to the prior art are also usually supplied with their cutting tool.
  • the cutting tool comprises fixing means, for example eyelets, allowing it to be riveted to the display card.
  • the cutting tool is, in some cases, riveted directly on one of the parts of the plastic shell. All these operations take time and are costly.
  • the present invention provides a bobbin of a simple embodiment which overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art and allows, at low cost, a controlled unwinding of the wire.
  • the present invention also relates to a process allowing, in a single step, to condition on a display, a wound roll of link and possibly, associated cutting means, while obtaining improved unwinding qualities.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a wound roll of tie, packaged on a display having the shape of a card, the roll being held in place and surrounded by a protective sheath, characterized in that the sheath consists of a flexible and thin film conforming to all the visible surfaces of the coil and cooperating with the display both in the area inside the coil and in the zone outside of it, said film being continuous with the exception of a hole provided for the passage of the end of the link of the roll, thus allowing a controlled unwinding of the wire from the inside of the reel thanks to the braking effect caused by the at least partial adhesion of the film to the turns of the roll.
  • the invention in another aspect, relates to a coiled link roll, packaged on a display in the form of a card, the wound link being held in place and surrounded by a protective sheath, said display further comprising means to cut the link at the coil outlet, characterized in that the sheath consists of a flexible and thin film, matching all the visible surfaces of the coil and cooperating both with said slicing means and with the display also both in the area inside the coil and in the area outside thereof, said film being continuous except for a hole provided for the passage of the end of the link of the roll, thus allowing, in combination, the holding in position of the slicing means on the display without any other fixing means and a controlled unwinding of the wire from the inside of the spool thanks to the braking effect caused by the at least partial adhesion film on the coils of the roller.
  • a cutting tool is placed on the substrate, next to the wound roll of tie, which, at the end of step c), is completely coated with the film and fixed on the substrate, without the need to provide additional fixing means.
  • the end of the inner strand is folded back at least over about 5 to 10 mm during the implementation of step c), this end of inner strand being folded back in a horizontal position relative to the substrate or being folded in a vertical position relative to said substrate.
  • the substrate used in the method of the invention is of any type chosen to act as a display and also allow the passage of air during aspiration.
  • the cardboard is suitable for this purpose.
  • thermoplastic material sufficiently thin to match all the contours of the objects placed on the substrate (roller and, if necessary, cutting tool) while allowing the end of the inner strand to pierce it, which is made easier when applying the heated and softened film.
  • a cutting tool is placed on the substrate next to the roller, it has been found that the film completely envelops it without generally being pierced during the application of the film.
  • the film also exerts a protective effect with regard to the cutting tool.
  • the flexible and thin film which marries all the visible faces of the roll has the function, not only of maintaining the roll on the substrate, but also of allowing a controlled unwinding of the bond. This one is not untidy as in the previous realizations.
  • the thread is unwound regularly and in a controlled manner thanks to the braking effect obtained by the at least partial cooperation of the turns of the roll and the film which follows its outline.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show two coils conditioned according to the prior art.
  • the coil 1 is arranged in a cell 2 which is, for example, a rigid shell of plastic.
  • Cell 2 is applied to a card display stand 3.
  • a semi-rigid plastic sheath 4 covers the assembly. During use, the sheath 4 must be completely torn off.
  • FIG. 2 is practically equivalent to that of FIG. 1 except that the bobbin 1 is not, in this case, placed in a cell 2 but is held in a plastic cap 5 In this case also, the cap rests on a display card 3 and is wrapped by a semi-rigid sheath 4 which must, during use, be torn off.
  • the plastic shell whether it is the cap 5 or the cell 2
  • the link roll can also be introduced into a reel made entirely of plastic which is riveted on the display card at different contact points.
  • the above-mentioned embodiments include rigid plastic shells, the cost of which is expensive to manufacture.
  • the thickness of the rigid shells generally varies in the range from 8,000 to 10,000 microns and the plastics used are generally thermosetting plastics. The wire feed cannot be checked.
  • FIG. 3 represents a bobbin 1 conditioned using a semi-rigid sheath 4 which constitutes another example of embodiment according to the prior art.
  • the bobbin 1 is applied to the display card 3.
  • the bobbin 1 is enveloped by the semi-rigid sheath 4 which has an opening 6 through which the user unwinds the wire.
  • the diameter of the opening 6 corresponds substantially to that of the inner ring of the bobbin 1.
  • the semi-rigid sheath 4 does not need to be torn from the display 3, but the unwinding is not controlled and the thread gets tangled and forms twists.
  • the semi-rigid sheath 4 is, moreover, of a significant cost price. Its thickness is in the range of 200 to 250 microns. Usually, specialists call such a semi-rigid sheath a blister.
  • the cutting tool 7 is necessarily riveted on the display board 3 by means of fixing eyelets 8.
  • the cutting tool 8 is placed below the bobbin 1. It is easily understood that the need to rivet the cutting tool 8 on the display card 3 constitutes an additional costly and disadvantageous operation.
  • the semi-rigid sheath does not have an opening, it envelops the entire top of the bobbin and the wire is unwound through a hole at the back in the display card.
  • the unwinding of the wire is inconvenient, it leads to the formation of twists because the tension of the wire is not controlled. Because the wire exits through the rear face of the display card, it is not possible in this case to provide on said display card the cutting tool.
  • the blister according to this latter embodiment of the prior art has a thickness also in the range of 200 to 250 microns.
  • the material of such a blister is generally polyvinyl chloride.
  • a thin film 14 envelops and hugs all the visible surfaces of the reel 1. It also extends on the display card 3 as well in the interior zone 15 from the spool to outside of it (zonell).
  • the film 14 has an opening or punctured 9 through which protrudes up a strand of the link 10.
  • the film 14 also envelops, as indicated in 12, The cutting member 7, which is held by the latter on the display card 3. The cutting tool no longer needs to be riveted to the display card 3 and, consequently, the eyelets are superfluous.
  • the film 14, according to the present invention is of a structure very different from the blisters of the prior art. It is a very thin polyethylene film of about 80 microns which is coated, as already indicated, around the entire circumference of the bobbin.l both inside and outside and on the display board 3.
  • the film 14 follows all the apparent surfaces of the bobbin 1 and adheres at least partially to the turns of the latter.
  • the unwinding is thus regular and controlled.
  • the link is maintained by the film 14 in the turns of the bobbin 1.
  • the bobbin 1 is unwound with a tension controlled turn by turn, no twist or intermingling of the strands being thus possible.
  • the cutting tool 7 is also pressed and retained (zone 12) on the display card 3 by the plastic film 14. It can thus be combined with the bobbin 1.
  • the hole 9 which allows the strand to exit is obtained in a simple and automatic manner, as will be indicated below.
  • a thin film is deployed, pulled horizontally and heated by hot air blown 14 of polyethylene with a thickness of about 80 microns in order to tension and soften it.
  • a large sheet of porous cardboard is placed on a tray where several rolls of tie are placed with their respective cutting member.
  • the end of the inner strand 10 of each bobbin is folded over substantially 1 cm and the tray is raised to the level of the thin film of heated polyethylene.
  • the film is applied to / cardboard carrying the coils and the cutting members while vacuuming through the underside of the cardboard sheet so as to press and stick the plastic film both on the cardboard and on the whole of the spool and its cutting member.
  • the cost price of such an implementation process is very advantageous.
  • the polyethylene film conforms perfectly to the outline of each bobbin and adheres well by bonding to the substrate.
  • this bobbin Due to the controlled winding by winding of the bobbin, this bobbin can be used until its end without any entanglement or twists occurring and, for the user, this is indeed a particularly advantageous advantage .
