Definitions

  • the plastics carrier material is substantially deformed by stretching - after considerable forces have been applied - such that the edge of the aperture is perpendicular to the plane of the plastics carrier period to placement of the cans, especially with reference to feature 40 in Figure 1 b.
  • US 2 874 835 indicates that extraordinary force is required for the cans to come loose from the retainer device accidentally.
  • the disclosure of US 2 874 835 indicates that polyethylene is a preferred plastics material, which is stamped in a press to form the apertures. This example taught of additional holes through which the ends of an elongate handle can subsequently be inserted.
  • These plastics films - commonly referred to as carrier stock - are stretched beyond their elastic limit. That is to say the size of aperture will in turn stretch into shapes which are
  • US 3 968 621 taught of manufacturing a carrier by the formation of an extruded net, which net was subsequently flattened by the use of a roller to produce an apertured film of carrier stock, as shown in Figure 5.
  • US 3 317 234 teaches of a packaging system using an upper laminate and a lower laminate.
  • the upper laminate comprising a first, continuous plastics layer and a second laminate comprising an apertured card layer is placed over and
  • the frusto-conical wall between the chime and the side wall defines a conical angle greater than approximately 28° and in some instances as great as approximately 37°.
  • the frusto-conical wall defines such a large angle relative to the can axis, it is difficult to apply carrier stock since the band segments defining the can receiving apertures have an undesirable tendency to slide up the cans and to rest on the cans above the lower edges of the chimes. This tendency is enhanced due to the jaw application system mentioned above.
  • an application roller configured to urge an appropriate apertured carrier stock sheet film progressively over the rims of successive containers accumulated together for unitizing.
  • the application roller cooperates with the container upper edge (beading, chime or rim) to locate and present an inner edge portion of an aperture of the carrier stock sheet comprising plastics film to the upper edge and progressively move that edge portion below the container upper edge until the whole inner aperture edge becomes located below that container upper edge.
  • Suitable apertured carrier stock sheet film in various embodiments is subject of our co-pending patent applications GB 2 475 622 A and
  • the configuration of the carrier stock, especially aperture configuration is such that in conjunction with the rolling application method in cooperation with an upper edge of the container e.g. can, the initially flat carrier stock is re-configured to a three dimensional configuration about the can.
  • the machine also comprises a conveyor system for the transport of containers, which may be of a generally known type; the conveyor being operable to feed the containers to an accumulation position; and taking accumulated containers towards an application station for the application of an apertured carrier or retaining sheet e.g. of the aforesaid carrier stock.
  • the machine uses a roller for urging the apertured carrier or retaining sheet on to the accumulated containers at the application station. The roller receives apertured carrier or retaining sheet from a supply system.
  • roller may have benefit in ensuring that as the roller moves with respect to successive accumulated containers each aperture is appropriately positioned with respect to a rim of a container such that the edge of the aperture is always urged below the rim of the respective container.
  • the roller may have projections such as mutually spaced pegs or ribs positioned to engage web between apertures of the apertured carrier or retaining sheet of plastics film.
  • the conveyor moves the containers to an accumulation position prior to being presented to the application station.
  • the conveyor moves the containers with applied plastics film to a cutting apparatus, said cutting apparatus being operable to enable appropriate pack sizes to be produced, whereby separation of unitised container packs is achievable.
  • the carrier stock suitable for use in the machine and method of the invention is provided with a number of apertures for holding a number of containers together, the carrier stock comprising a plastics film material having a number of apertures arranged for example as a series in at least a first direction, wherein the apertures comprise a plurality of finger or tab elements, separated by troughs, the apertures having a centre; wherein the innermost edge or tip of the finger elements lie on a first circumference relative to the centre and the bottom of the troughs lie on a second circumference relative to the centre, the second circumference being equal to or greater than the circumference of the container; wherein the edges of the fingers are operably engageable with a beading of a container as the troughs are urged downwardly and outwardly; the troughs being operable to allow the film to elastically deform upon placement and enable the film to adopt a three dimensional structure.
  • the apertured material can be dimensioned to fit around traditional cylindrical walled cans such as traditional baked-bean can (say 307 x 512 US CMI).
  • the apertured film can be dimensioned to fit about the necked- in cans as are typically presently produced in the beverage industry (201 1 ) which in Europe is one of the following types (all sizes approximate) 330 ml, 66mm 0 / 1 15mm height; 440 ml, 66mm 0 / 150mm height;
  • the machine of the invention may be equipped with adjustment means for changing the relative positioning of the application roller with respect to the conveyed and accumulated containers between packaging runs of differing containers.
  • the apertures can resemble a generally square-like (quadra-arcuate) aperture, with the tabs comprising slightly outwardly extending arcs. Other poly-arcuate apertures are possible, the number of tabs, however being less than ten, for containers as are commonly employed for beverages.
  • the carrier stock comprising plastics film used for the present invention can comprise integrally joined band segments defining can-receiving apertures in longitudinal rows and transverse ranks. There may be a single longitudinal row.
  • the band segments include generally longitudinal outer segments with each outer segment partly bounding the can receiving apertures in an outer row.
  • the carrier stock or film can be provided as a roll for use in a roll on method of applying the product, conveniently in a multi-lane format of typically but not exclusively 6 lanes wide. The sheet material is supplied on a roll and feeds into the
  • the roller in urging the film onto the accumulated containers to be unitised also has a role in promoting the performance of the film by urging a particular configuration to be adopted.
  • the plastics film after application to a number of containers defines a three dimensional shape as a direct result of the various forces acting upon the material, whereby to increase the inherent strength of the resultant product.
  • a reduction in the grade and thickness of the film material can be realised: costs can be reduced because less raw material is required.
  • the specification of the packaging plant can be reduced, again reducing costs. Overall significant energy savings can be realised by virtue of the invention.
  • Figures 2a, b show a second example of known carrier stock
  • Figure 5 shows another prior art container retaining means
  • Figure 9 shows a second embodiment
  • Figure 1 1 shows a still further embodiment of the invention, whilst Figure 1 1 a shows a variant thereof, and 1 1 b - 1 1 d show the variant of Figure 1 1 a in use;
  • the number of tabs or fingers can vary from three upwards, it has been found that a four fingered aperture (or multiple finger equivalents operable to achieve the same effect) benefits in terms of packaging of product by reason of the forces from the chime, through the finger, allow upward movement of film adjacent the troughs, whereby to create a wave effect.
  • the three dimensional structure adopted by the film is in many ways analogous to the types of structures in vehicular manufacturing i.e. the structure is a monocoque structure where the overall strength of the finished film is greater than that of the inherently flexible material.
  • prior systems for linking containers more closely approach the elastic deformation limit of the plastics material.
  • a machine which engages a carrier strip and assembles the carrier strip with a plurality of articles moving in close relation thereto.
  • the apparatus in US-4,250,682 has a rotary drum with carrier stretching members for engaging, stretching and positioning the carrier strip over the tops of the articles moving thereunder such that the carrier material is retained under the chime of the article.
  • a carrier strip engaging assembly is used to elastically deform the engaged carrier strip for assembly with articles.
  • the raw material for the present invention can indeed comprise recycled material or at least have a significant recycled material content.
  • the procedure of application of the apertured film in accordance with the present invention can be conveniently formed by a number of methods.
  • a presently preferred method will be described with reference to Figure 8c, which, for convenience shall be assumed to be receiving a can, not shown, from the right; the inside edge of finger 84 of the aperture is urged toward the under-chime (upper rim) of a can; the adjacent side fingers 81 , 83 of the aperture are then eased over the corresponding rim parts of the can until the inside edge of the aperture opposite the first engaged side of the aperture is adjacent the rim, whereupon continuing pressure enables the inside edge of the last aperture finger 82 to engage with an underside of the rim, thereby enabling the apertured film to be simply, safely and securely engaged therewith.
  • a generally three fingered aperture may be provided, comprising a generally equilateral triangular configuration, and would provide a minimally fingered design with a security of retention.
  • many polygonal form can be configured which operate in accordance with the inventions, although, a regular four-sided aperture is likely to be more readily generally accepted.
  • Containers of other cylindrical shapes can be retained; it may be appropriate to have five, six or more fingers or tabs per aperture. Ten has been found to be a convenient number for large domestic containers.
  • FIG. 9 a portion of film 90, with six apertures abreast, is shown, the apertures 91 being of a second regular quadrilateral shape. Further apertures or slits 92, together with circular apertures 93 are sized and positioned to assist in the maintenance of the monocoque film shape, once containers have been retained by the film.
  • the circular opening 93 may be formed of difference shapes or may be replaced by a number of smaller aperture, conveniently closely spaced together.
  • the shape and position of the apertures are such that the troughs between the fingers correspond with the corners of the curved sides, the distance between opposite troughs being approximately 1 10% the diameter of the container at the rim.
  • a significant advantage of the present invention is that the mechanical properties of the material are only required to be strong enough to hold the cans, and not stand up to the rigours and high stretch of the standard application processes encountered in the prior art. Not only does this have significant advantages in the manufacturing processes (reduced operating forces incur less wear for application machines and thus further reduce operating costs), and also enables the use of cheaper plastics to be employed. Indeed, recycled plastics such as low grade Post Consumer Waste (e.g. low density polyethylene - LDPE) can be employed which also satisfies the perennial demands of market requirements in that the basic consumable materials are cheaper. As discussed above, in view of the materials not needing to be stretched to particular limits, the thickness of the basic product can also be reduced i.e. the thickness can be 30 ⁇ (or less): the issue of the presence of inclusions or not is of no
  • a preferred method of application utilises a simple roll on application method as shall be disclosed in detail hereinafter; a simple machine can be utilised in manufacturing industry; since great stretching forces are not applied, lever arm and /or hydraulic operations can be minimised and the strength of the machine need not be great, as a direct result compared to systems which stretch plastics towards and beyond their elastic limits.
  • the use of simpler and cheaper machines will also enable the systems to be operated by smaller manufacturing concerns and thereby increase markets.
  • Figures 12a - 12f show a superposition of the edges of an un-stretched aperture upon a beading 126 of a container 122.
  • Figure 12a shows how, in a first application step associated with retaining a number of containers with a stock of apertured plastics sheeting in accordance with the present invention.
  • An inside tab edge 121 of the aperture abuts against an underside edge of a bead 126 of the container.
  • Figure 12b shows how, in relation to the apertured plastics sheet stock 100 an application roller will rotate with respect to a container passing underneath in a direction perpendicular to the roller axis. The roller is not shown, although the stock is shown having an arcuate profile and will be discussed in greater detail with respect to machinery below.
  • Figure 14 shows, respectively side and detail view of the application drum and production line conveyor arrangement.
  • Figures 16 - 20 show cans unitised with a further example of a carrier stock in accordance with the invention.
  • the application drum which urges the carrier stock upon the containers to be unitised may have a plurality of peg projections configured to interact with a carrier stock sheet to facilitate appropriate downward pressure upon the carrier stock and assist in elastically forming a three dimensional structure of the carrier stock about the upper part of the containers.
  • the carrier stock is formed, for example by die- cutting, from a single sheet of resilient polymeric material, such as low density polyethylene.
  • Known carrier stock has been formed of high quality plastics sheet, such as low density polyethylene.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système d'emballage de contenants destiné à des contenants, qui permet d'appliquer une matière de transport en film plastique troué sur des contenants sensiblement identiques, tels que des boîtes boisson présentant un rebord annulaire, une paroi latérale cylindrique et une paroi tronconique, formée entre le rebord et la paroi latérale. La matière de transport comporte des ouvertures façonnées qui servent à retenir fermement des boîtes boisson, des boîtes de conserve alimentaires, des bouteilles et des contenants similaires afin de former une unité d'emballage groupé. La matière de transport est roulée sur des contenants juxtaposés de façon appropriée, afin de venir progressivement en contact avec une partie de bord d'ouverture à languette, depuis le haut jusqu'à une partie inférieure du bord supérieur des contenants respectifs devant former un emballage groupé, et présente une configuration 3D de forme d'onde pour unitiser les contenants. Le procédé de roulage est différent des procédés existants d'application par étirage, et permet d'utiliser une matière de transport moins coûteuse et plus mince.
