Definitions

  • This invention concerns the innovations made on apparatus for creating a vacuum, both in flexible containers such as bags, and rigid containers such as tubs or canisters, for the preservation of vacuum-packed products and to seal the containers when they are flexible, that is bags.
  • An apparatus of the type taken into consideration here basically includes:
  • Such an apparatus can be equipped, on a level with the closing lever or the body, with a pipe fitting in communication with the depressurization means, to be connected to a suction tube used to create the vacuum also in rigid containers such as tubs or canisters, fitted with an appropriate cover.
  • a similar apparatus usually incorporates a depressurization device powered by a low tension motor electrically fed from the mains using a transformer.
  • This transformer is the usual type, having a parallelepiped shape with height and width almost equal, and having a conspicuous overall size that has a negative influence on the volumes of the body of the device that has to house it.
  • said transformer requires direct cabling which is not really rapid and easy, as it is without its own terminals.
  • an apparatus for forming the vacuum in containers can be equipped or not also with a space to contain a rolled up tubular element, from which from time to time to unwind, pull out and cut a length, using a linear cutter, to be used to form a bag of the required length.
  • this space when present, is part of the body and closed by the same lever of the apparatus, and the cutter is assembled and slides on said lever in line with an exit opening for the unrolled tubular element. This, however, involves, having to face some drawbacks.
  • an object of the invention is to provide an apparatus to form a vacuum in containers for the preservation of vacuum-packed products, in which, when present, the roll-holder space provided in its body has no relation to or interference with the device closing lever.
  • a roll-holder space has been provided in the body of the apparatus closed by a cover which is independent of the closing lever and has a slot in which a cutter is allowed to slide.
  • the roll-holder space can be accesses without having to use the lever; the cutter assembled and sliding in said cover never interferes with the lever; the collection and cutting of the tubular element cannot cause unintentional starting of the device; the roll cannot fall out of its housing even should the device be fixed to a wall; the roll-holder housing remains apart from the other operating components of the machine without there being the possibility of liquids or anything else entering which means the tubular rolled element remains clean.
  • a shown the apparatus shown is made up of a basic body 11 closed by a bottom 12 and bearing at the top a lever 13 rotating on respective pins, between an open and closed position on the body.
  • the body 11 and lever 13 together form a suction chamber 14 to receive the mouth of a bag and hold the operating elements to manage the formation of a vacuum in the bag and a welding element to heat seal the mouth of the latter when the lever is in the closed position.
  • the lever 13 locks onto the body 11 by means of a lever coupling 15.
  • the lever rests against the stop shoulder 16 made up of the body 11 without loading the respective rotation pins.
  • the body 11 also supports some filter holders 11' at the opposite ends of the suction chamber.
  • the apparatus is equipped with a depressurization group 17 to form a vacuum powered by an electric motor 18 fed from the mains through an electromagnetic single phase safety transformer 19 with a length size greater than the height and width sizes as shown in Figs. 13 and 14 .
  • the depressurization group 17 with the motor 18 and transformer 19 are in a housing formed by the body and closed at the back by the bottom 12.
  • an electronic control board 20 and a heat disperser 21, the latter blocked by a snap device with at least one stop catch 21'- Fig. 15 are also positioned in such a housing.
  • transformer 19 is usable to feed the welding element through the electronic board and/or other control devices. In other conformations, where the motor of the depressurization group is fed from the mains, the transformer 19 is however used to feed the welding element of the device.
  • a pushbutton 22 for manual control of the device and luminous indicators 23 to signal some of the operating phases
  • a bleeder valve 24 and a coupling 25 can be assembled, the latter in communication with the suction chamber and, by means of this, with the depressurization group, and used to connect a tube - not shown - and prepared in the case of necessity, to form a vacuum in rigid containers such as tubs or canisters.
  • the body 11 of the apparatus forms a housing 26 to contain a rolled tubular element 27 from which to make the bags according to requirements.
  • the housing 26 is closed at the front by its own cover 28 so that it is completely independent of the lever 13 and remains closed also should the device be fixed to a wall.
  • the cover 28 of said housing 26 turns on a respective axis between a closed and open position and, in combination with a part 11" of the body it overlaps, forms an opening 29 for pulling out the tubular element 27 to cut a length to form a bag.
  • a guide slot 28' parallel to the opening 29 there is a guide slot 28' in which a cutter 30 is assembled and slides to cut the tubular element when it is pulled out.
  • the cover 28 can also be transparent to be able to inspect the presence of the roll and the quantity of tubular element still available, even when it is closed.
  • the cutter 30 is advantageously the anti-accident type, made up - Figs. 16-18 of two facing blades 31 positioned and held between a supporting element 32 and a gripping element 33 fixed to the supporting element.
  • the supporting element 32 is driven along the guide slot 28'; the gripper element 33 remains on the outside above the cover 28 to be accessed; together, the supporting element 32 and the gripper element 33 protect the blades 31, leaving only their cutting edges exposed.
  • the supporting element 32 has a sliding block section 34 which is at the bottom ends of the blades 31, extruding laterally from the latter and forming a rest for the contiguous limbs of the tubular element when it is cut by the cutter.
  • the bottom wall 12 of the body 11 has an external indent 35 in the centre of which is a multi-function ring-shaped relief 36.
  • This relief in fact, has some slots 37 for fixing the apparatus to a wall, if required, and forms an external cable winder and internally forms a housing 38 intended to contain either a wound electric cable or a suction tube for use with the apparatus.
