Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for orienting bottles, or similar containers, which applies in particular to processing machines such as labeling or wrapping.
  • bottles arrive by a conveyor, or supply chain, in principle at the entrance of a cross, or star, rotary indexing, where each bottle, selected by this star, is placed on a harness, or bucket, with a specific trajectory which carries the bottle carried to the treatment station, or carousel.
  • the label, covering or decoration is affixed on the peripheral surface of the bottle in a variable area according to the position taken by the bottle around its axis at the moment when it is place on its support, harness or bucket.
  • orientation pins which may be thicker on the barrel or body of the bottles, generally located between 35 or 40 mm from the bottom of the bottles, on the barrel of bottles and not exceeding, they then have a hollow or a double hollow, or under the underside of the bottles, "opening" or not “opening”.
  • orientation is caused either in the machine input cross or on the processing carousels.
  • the invention provides for tilting the bottles to cause the contact of at least one point of their lateral surface against the friction wall and, more precisely, that it is the associated element of the device which, by relative displacement relative to the bottle, exerts on the bottle, as long as it is not in engagement with its pin (1), a thrust which inclines said bottle and causes it to rub against said wall.
  • the invention applies in particular to the case where the orientation is caused in the crosses or input devices of the machines and processes bottles whose orientation pin is a notch, opening or not opening, formed on the underside of the bottles .
  • the indexing element associated with each cell of the input cross can be a part such as a cleat of a shape such that it can engage in the notch of the bottle and mounted so that it can be brought in abutment against the bottom of the bottle, causing the inclination of the latter towards the outside of the input cross and the friction of a small area of its base on its supply conveyor or, preferably, the friction of a small area of its side wall against fixed friction elements arranged coaxially with said entry cross.
  • friction elements are advantageously constituted by a series of small semi-circular elements, possibly resiliently recalled, which make it possible to treat each bottle independently of the one preceding it and the one following it, which avoids malfunctions or interference.
  • the notch of the bottle is open, to provide the harnesses on which the bottles come to rest with a small lug intended to be housed in the part of the notch left free by the cleat of the input cross , the notch then indexing in relation to the harness and ensuring better precision and better orientation hold of the bottle when it escapes said cleat.
  • the bottles B have, at their base, a notch 1 opening out and each socket 2 of the inlet cross 3 is associated with a cleat 4 mounted at the end of an arm 5 which is itself carried by a shaft 6 and a rod 11 parallel to the axis of the cross 3 and mounted sliding in the cross.
  • the upper end 7 of the shaft 6 carries a roller 8 rotating on an axis 9 secured to the head 7.
  • a circular ramp 10 coaxial with the cross 3 and on which the rollers 8.
  • the bottles B arrive by the transporter, or chain, C and are selected by the cross 3.
  • the bottle occupying the position B1 (fig. 1 and 2), the cleat 4 is below the bottom of the bottle and that -this still rests on the conveyor C.
  • the ramp 10 causes the upward movement of the roller 8, therefore of the cleat 4 which slightly lifts the bottle by tilting it (fig. 3).
  • the bottle carried by the cleat 4 and rubbing by its side wall against the brake sectors 12, 12 ′, 12 ⁇ is automatically animated, with its notch, of a rotational movement around its axis as indicated by the arrows f1, f2 (fig. 1).
  • This rotation continues until in position B3 in which the cleat 4 is opposite the notch 1 and enters it (fig. 4).
  • the bottle straightens and is then oriented and its rotational drive stops since it is no longer in contact with the brakes.
  • the buckets G, provided with an interchangeable imprint 14 were each provided with a cleat, or pin, which is housed in the part of the notch 1 left free by the cleat 4.
  • the notch 1 is thus indexed relative to the bucket , which ensures better precision in the orientation of the bottle.
  • the bottle and its bucket then escape the cleat of the input cross thanks to the semi-circular recess 16 formed in each of the buckets.
