Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for handling blanks, in particular for supplying print carriers, coupons or the like as an addition to a pack - cigarette pack. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out the method.
  • a foil outer wrapper incorporates the coupon into the package so that the coupon is available by removing the outer wrapper when the package is in use.
  • the object of the invention is to integrate the handling of the coupons into the packaging process in such a way that the coupons can be combined with the pack without impairing the (high) performance of packaging machines.
  • the handling of the coupons in the coupon applicator can be done in different ways.
  • a special feature is the introduction of the coupons in a coupon magazine with at least one supply shaft.
  • the coupon magazine, the coupons are removed individually by the appropriately trained coupon applicator.
  • a coupon applicator designed in a special way is provided, which immediately receives the incoming coupons and feeds the packs without interruption of the (continuous) transport.
  • the device according to the invention includes that the coupons can be transported in the region of a packaging machine by a coupon conveyor, either to a coupon magazine or directly to a coupon applicator.
  • the wrapping machine is preferably for mounting an outer wrapping of foil to cigarette packs ("cello"), placing the coupons on an upwardly directed rear side of the cigarette packs and then surrounding the formed unit in a conventional manner by the foil.
  • the formation of the coupon magazine on the one hand and the immediately loaded coupon applicant on the other hand each form a special feature.
  • each package 10 is to be accompanied by an optional folded blank with printing, namely a coupon 11, 12.
  • the combination of the coupons 11, 12 with the packs 10 takes place in the region of a packaging machine for the attachment of an outer wrapping of foil to the pack 10.
  • the coupon 11, 12 is placed on an upper side 13 of the pack 10 and surrounded together with the pack 10 of the outer sheath.
  • the coupon 11, 12 is to be attached to a rear side of the pack 10.
  • the coupons 11, 12 are produced by a coupon unit 14 of known type.
  • the coupon unit 14 is designed such that double coupons 15 are produced and these are severed centrally with the aid of a cutter disk 16. This results in two adjacent coupons 11, 12 (FIG. 3).
  • the coupon unit 14 is positioned - preferably as a separate unit - on a rear side of the packaging machine.
  • the coupons 11, 12 are received outside the packaging machine by a coupon conveyor 17 and fed through a recess 18 in the packaging machine the front area, namely in a plane above a conveyor track 19 for the packs 10.
  • the coupon conveyor 17 consists of several cooperating or to each other subsequent belt conveyors, which cause an approximately rectangular deflection of the coupons 11, 12 in the region of the packaging machine (FIGS. 1, 3).
  • the coupons 11, 12 are supplied by a above the conveyor track 19 of the packs 10 arranged (coupon) trailer 20, 21 of the respective pack 10 and placed on the top 13. There are two conceptually different designs possible.
  • the coupons 11, 12 can be supplied by the coupon conveyor 17 a coupon magazine 22 and stored in this. Individual coupons 11, 12 are removed by the trailer 20 (FIG. 2) from the coupon magazine 22 and fed to the respective package 10.
  • the trailer 20 is formed in this embodiment in a conventional manner.
  • the coupons 11, 12 may be fed directly to the trailer 21 by the coupon conveyor 17 and transferred therefrom to the package 10.

  • the coupon conveyor 17 has, on the one hand, the task of transporting the coupons 11, 12 after being taken over by the coupon unit 14 over a longer conveying path.
  • the coupon conveyor 17 is designed according to FIG. 3 such that the two coupons 11, 12 which are fed next to one another are brought into an offset relative position during transport and finally into a successive relative position. This result is caused by temporarily different conveying speed of the two coupons 11, 12.
  • Transfer belts 23, 24 adjoining the coupon unit 14 are driven at different conveying speeds, so that the offset of the coupons 11, 12 resulting from FIG. 3 is established.
  • the transfer belt 24 arranged on the right here runs at a faster speed than the takeover belt 23.
  • Each transfer belt 23, 24 consists of two interacting single belts.

  • the connecting conveyor 28 transfers the coupons 11, 12 - in a further vertical conveying plane - to a Umlenkwhier 32. This promotes the coupons 11, 12 in a 90 ° offset or deflected direction.
  • the Umlenkwhier 32 consists of an inner conveyor 33 and an angular outer conveyor 34. Both conveyors 33, 34 are formed by straps, which are guided over three guide rollers. A middle guide roller 35 of the inner conveyor 33 causes the change in direction during transport of the coupons 11, 12.
  • the straps or belts of the inner conveyor 33 are located directly on the guide roller 35 at.
  • An angled conveying strand of the outer conveyor 34 is also indirectly on the guide roller 35, namely on the belt of the inner conveyor 33. In between, the coupons 11, 12 are transported.
  • Deflection rollers 39, 40 are offset with respect to the axes of rotation by 90 ° to each other, so that the individual straps 37, 38 are turned from an upright level at the inlet side in a horizontal plane in the region of the guide roller 40.
