Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing (cigarette) packs which are provided with at least one blank, in particular with a multiply folded coupon, the blanks or coupons being produced by a coupon manufacturer and being fed to a packaging machine.
  • the invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method.
  • the invention is based on the object of coordinating the handling of the blanks or coupons with the manufacture of the packs in such a way that the coupons are made available to the packaging machine automatically or with little manual construction.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized by the following features:
  • the coupons are introduced into containers - magazines - after the coupon manufacturer, forming stacks, b) a number of containers with correspondingly designed coupons corresponding to a batch of (cigarette) packs to be produced are provided with a marking, in particular with a readable (bar) code,
  • the special feature of the invention is accordingly that the coupons produced in a coupon manufacturer assigned to several packaging machines are collected in the immediate vicinity of the packaging machines and filled into magazines.
  • the magazines are delivered to the packaging machine as required by a conveyor, in particular by a transport vehicle.
  • a separate coupon device therefore consists of a coupon manufacturer, a distribution system for the coupons and a filling station.
  • Several coupons are produced at the same time in one work cycle, distributed in the transport direction, so that individual, successive coupons arrive at the filling station and are filled into a magazine that is always ready.
  • a special feature is the coordinated control of the coupon device, the conveyor and the packaging machines, preferably by means of a central computer. This receives the data about the (cigarette) packs to be manufactured. The need for packaging material and coupons is determined from this. The computer then controls the production of the coupons and their provision according to the requirements for each packaging machine. Further details of the invention are explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments of the device for handling labels or coupons. It shows:
  • FIG. 2 shows a detail II of the device marked in FIG. 1 on an enlarged scale, likewise in plan view,

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour produire des paquets (de cigarettes) au moyen d'un système de conditionnement (13). Selon la configuration du paquet, des supports d'impression sont ajoutés, notamment des coupons éventuellement pliés plusieurs fois. Ces coupons sont produits dans un dispositif à coupons (15) au moyen d'un système de fabrication de coupon (16) puis sont chargés dans des conteneurs, plus précisément des magasins, dans une station de remplissage (18). Ils sont ensuite mis à disposition dans un certain nombre, correspondant à la demande, de véhicules, notamment de chariots de transport (42, 43), afin d'être transférés au système de conditionnement (13). Les machines et groupes importants sont connectés à une unité de commande centrale (91) qui détermine les quantités des coupons à fabriquer et effectue un codage des magasins (20) et/ou des chariots de transport (42, 43), de façon à pouvoir commander l'alimentation en coupons du système de conditionnement (13) selon la charge de paquets à produire.
