Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to machines for treating objects, such as for example printing machines of the kind comprising a turret, which is rotatably mounted about its axis, and which carries, radially, at its periphery, a a plurality of object carriers by means of supports themselves rotatably mounted on this turret, and a plurality of workstations, which are distributed circularly around the turret, in line with the path of the object carriers, and some of which are printing stations while others are processing stations, such as, for example, drying stations, varnishing, flaming, dedusting or other.
  • processing stations such as, for example, drying stations, varnishing, flaming, dedusting or other.
  • These printing machines are for example used for the printing of objects of revolution, such as for example flexible tubes, of synthetic material or other, intended to successively receive several impressions of different colors; in this case, the slides are cylindrical chucks on which the objects are to put on.
  • feeding devices are provided for supplying the objects with objects.
  • these feeding devices comprise a finger, generally of cylindrical shape, moved back and forth along its axis and intended to directly push each object to a slide.
  • the subject of the present invention is a feeding device in which the next object to be pushed takes place before the finger has run backwards, which allows a higher feed rate.
  • a feeding device for supplying object carriers with a machine for treating objects, in particular a printing machine, said device comprising a finger driven with a back-and-forth movement. and intended to directly push each object towards a slide for placing the object on said slide, is characterized by the fact that said finger is carried by a carriage slidably mounted on a frame and animated by said movement of and-come, which finger is rotatably mounted on said carriage so that it can occupy at least two positions, a so-called operational position in which it is likely being moved to push an object, and a so-called retracted position in which it is likely by being moved to avoid an object.
  • said finger is also subjected to the action of an elastic means which urges it towards its retracted position, a locking means being provided to temporarily hold the finger in its operative position against the action of the elastic means.
  • the finger is secured to a shaft rotatably mounted on the carriage, the resilient means being a spiral spring wound around said shaft.
  • the locking means is a drawer mounted to slide in a direction orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the finger.
  • the outer surface of the slide cooperates with a flattened on the shaft.
  • the slide has at its periphery a groove which, in its unlocked position of the shaft, is at the right of said flat.
  • the carriage moves between two stops carried by the frame.
  • the slide is adapted to cooperate with each of the two stops, one in its locking position, the other in its unlocked position, the carriage being, in each of these positions, to the right of said stops.
  • the finger has an operational position ramp adapted to cooperate with a fixed roller carried by the frame.
  • the subject of the invention is also a machine, in particular a printing machine, comprising object carriers and a feeding device for feeding the object carriers with objects, the feeding device of said machine being as above.
  • the objects are carried by an inclined table.
  • the objects are held by a rim of the table, which flange extends parallel to the axis of rotation of the finger.
  • said finger has a general shape in C and straddles said flange.
  • FIGS. 1-10 illustrate, by way of example, the application of the invention to the case where, for example, the objects to be printed are flexible tubes, which, intended to contain a more or less pasty product, such as cream or other , have a body and a background.
  • the body is generally cylindrical, and its cross section is substantially circular.
  • the printing machine used for printing such objects is for example of the type described in the French patent application FR-A-2 782 292 and comprises, globally, so known in itself, a turret, which is rotatably mounted about its axis, in this case a vertical axis, on a frame, and which carries, radially, at its periphery, a plurality of object holders themselves each respectively mounted rotatably on this turret via a support, around axes which, in this case, are orthogonal to the axis of the turret, and are therefore horizontal.
  • a turret which is rotatably mounted about its axis, in this case a vertical axis, on a frame, and which carries, radially, at its periphery, a plurality of object holders themselves each respectively mounted rotatably on this turret via a support, around axes which, in this case, are orthogonal to the axis of the turret, and are therefore
  • the turret is generally a simple circular contour plate, and is rotatably mounted on a table belonging to the frame.
  • this turret is rotated, step by step, by a motor with which it is associated an indexer.
  • the objects to be printed being flexible tubes, the slides are cylindrical chucks on which the objects are simply put on.
  • the printing machine has a plurality of workstations which are distributed circularly around the turret, to the right of the path of the object holders, and some of which are printing stations, while others are treatment posts.
  • the assembly is completed by a loading and unloading station, and, for prior treatment of the objects before printing, by appropriate workstations for this purpose, namely, for example, a flaming station and dedusting, and a varnishing station followed by a drying station.
  • the machine comprises a feeding device illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • the cylindrical objects extend perpendicular to the plane of FIGS. 1 and 2 and are placed on an inclined table 23; they are by gravity against each other, the first object 10A being in abutment against a transverse rim 24 that presents the inclined table 23.
  • a feed finger 11 is carried by a carriage 12 slidably mounted on a frame 13; the carriage 12 is moved back and forth; to do this, it is secured by arms 26 to a sled 27 itself slidably mounted on a rail 28; the sled 27 is coupled to a rod 29 itself linked to a crank 30, Figure 3, integral with the shaft 31 of a motor that includes the machine.
  • the finger in sheet metal cut and folded, comprises a planar body 31 and a spout 32, also plane but extending in a plane here perpendicular to the planar body 31; the spout 32 and the body 31 have a general configuration C-shaped so that the body 31 and the spout 32 can be arranged on either side of the flange 24 of the inclined table 23; the body 31 extends parallel to the rim 24 and the nose 32 transversely with respect to the objects 10.
  • the carriage 12 has a bore 33 in which is rotatably mounted a shaft 16 integral with the planar body 31, extending here perpendicularly to said body 31, and thus secured to the finger 11.
  • the shaft 16 has a notch whose bottom defines a flat 17, Figure 2, parallel to the axis of the shaft 16.
  • the shaft 16 is surrounded by a spiral spring 14 whose one end is carried by the plane body 31 of the finger 11 and whose other end is secured to the carriage 12; thus, by bearing on the carriage 12, the spiral spring 14 urges the finger 11 in rotation in the direction for which the spout 32 is raised, as explained below.
  • the carriage 12 is pierced with a transverse passage, here cylindrical, whose axis is orthogonal to the axis of the bore 33 and tangent to said bore 33; in said passage is slidably mounted a drawer 15; so that the slide 15 acts as a locking member to immobilize the shaft 16 relative to the carriage 12, in the bore 33, its diameter is such that it is tangential to the flat portion 17 of the shaft 16; to unlock the shaft 16, the slide has a groove 18, Figure 2, whose depth is such that when said groove 18 is at the right of the flat 17, the slide 15 having been moved to do this, the shaft 16 is free to turn in bore 33.
  • a transverse passage here cylindrical, whose axis is orthogonal to the axis of the bore 33 and tangent to said bore 33; in said passage is slidably mounted a drawer 15; so that the slide 15 acts as a locking member to immobilize the shaft 16 relative to the carriage 12, in the bore 33, its diameter is such that it is tangential to the flat portion 17
  • the carriage 12 moves between two stops 21 and 22, carried by the frame 13, here by a spacer 25; one of the stops, the stop 21, is constituted by the internal face of a plate 42 fixed at the end of the spacer 25, and the other stop, the stop 22, is the internal face of a wing of an L-shaped bracket 42 fixed to the upper face of the spacer 25.
  • the spacer 25 is parallel to the rail 28 and inclined at an angle equal to the angle of inclination of the table 23, as can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, but, of course, it could be otherwise .
  • the drawer 15 has a length greater than that of the through passage of the carriage 12 in which it is housed, so that at each end position of the carriage 12, at the right of each stop 21 or 22, the drawer 15 is adapted to cooperate with each of them and to be moved in one direction or the other; after cooperation with the stop 21, FIG. 4, the spool 15 is in its unlocking position of the shaft 16, the groove 18 being at the right of the flat part 17, and, after cooperation with the abutment 22, FIG. 8, the spool 15 is in its locking position of the shaft 16, the groove 18 is no longer at the right of the flat part 17.
  • the finger 11 is at the end of the operational stroke and the nose 32 of the finger 11 has pushed the hollow cylindrical object 10A onto the not shown mandrel; the slide 15 cooperates with the abutment 21, said unlocking, and the shaft 16 can rotate in the carriage 12 under the action of the spiral spring 14; here, it is preferred that the finger 11 remains momentarily in this position, a heel 34 of the finger 11 cooperating with a roller 35, farther from the stop 21 than is the axis of rotation of the shaft 16, said roller 35 being carried by a support 44 secured to the end plate 41.
