Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for multifunctional foil stamping.
  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for the multifunctional embossing of sealing films for packaging.
  • Sealing foils are used in the packaging industry for a large number of different products, for example as a closure for corresponding packaging containers such as cups or boxes.
  • the sealing films are often obtained by punching out corresponding shapes from a strip-shaped material.
  • the material used here can be, for example, aluminum foil, plastic foil, or composite materials made of plastic and aluminum. Often the material is printed on at least one or both sides.
  • the sealing films are glued or welded onto the container.
  • the foils can have, for example, a heat-sealing lacquer layer on the side facing the packaging container.
  • the molded pieces obtained are usually stacked.
  • the shaped pieces for example, provided as lids
  • suitable gripping systems such as vacuum grippers
  • the molded pieces provided as lids are then connected to the packaging container under the action of pressure and / or heat.
  • EP 0 960 024 B2 a method for the production of partially embossed cover elements for the closure of containers, in particular food containers, and a device for carrying out this method.
  • EP 1 790 470 B1 a process for the production of partially embossed and additionally printed sealable packaging lids or labels.
  • WO 2016/118990 A1 discloses an embossing device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • DE 10 2009 003 493 A1 discloses an article stamp with a housing, at least one replaceable letter inserted into the housing, a bolt by means of which the letter is positively locked in the housing, the bolt held by at least one spring in its position locking the letter against the force of the spring a position releasing the letter can be moved.
  • EP 2 857 187 A1 discloses a method according to the preamble of claim 4.
  • a disadvantage of the methods and devices known from the prior art is that an embossing used to separate the molded pieces (cover) may have a detrimental effect on the adhesion between the packaging container and the molded piece during gluing and / or welding.
  • Another disadvantage of the systems known from the prior art is that to change the embossing pattern it is necessary that the entire embossing tool, which is usually an embossing die, possibly in combination with an embossing die, has to be replaced on the one hand with an increased expenditure of time, on the other hand with an increased expenditure.
  • the object of the present invention is to specify a device and a method with which multifunctional foil stamping is made possible in a simple manner.
  • the invention proposes a device for the multifunctional embossing of foils which has a basic embossing element, a receiving area, and an alternating embossing element which is detachably arranged within the receiving area, this being detachable arranged alternating embossing elements has a haptically perceptible information conveying embossed image.
  • the embossing produced in this way is advantageously multifunctional, so that the embossing produced is used on the one hand for information perception and on the other hand for separation when stacking stamped sealing foils.
  • the provision of an embossed pattern in the area of the sealing edge of the sealing film can be dispensed with in order to ensure an optimized seal when the sealing film is applied to the packaging.
  • the multifunctional embossing provided in this way can provide a sealing film for packaging which enables visually impaired people to obtain information about the content of the product in the packaging in a simplified manner.
  • information has only been provided on outer packaging cardboard, such as pharmaceutical outer packaging.
  • the loss of the outer packaging also leads to the loss of the haptically perceptible information.
  • the device has fixing means for releasably fixing the exchangeable embossing element.
  • fixing means for releasably fixing the exchangeable embossing element.
  • the device has a receiving area which is designed to receive a plurality of alternating embossing elements. This allows, for example, several Braille characters or pictograms in the direction of perception be arranged one behind the other, whereby the conveyed information content can be increased.
  • the basic embossed element has several receiving areas for alternate embossed elements.
  • the base embossing element and the interchangeable embossing element are designed as a die and the device has a base male which is inverted with regard to the embossing pattern of the base embossing element and which has a receiving area and an interchangeable male element detachably arranged within a receiving area.
  • the interchangeable cartridge element has an embossed image that is inverted with respect to the embossed pattern of the interchangeable embossed element.
  • the base embossing element and the base male are preferably arranged so that they can be aligned with one another.
  • this has an embossing plate which comprises a plurality of basic embossing elements. If a male mold is provided, the device accordingly has a male mold plate which comprises a plurality of base male parts (210). This makes it possible to emboss a plurality of cover sheets in one embossing train.
  • the interchangeable embossing elements and / or interchangeable male elements are designed and / or arranged in the basic embossing element / basic male element in such a way that the embossed image obtained with a first basic embossed element / basic male element is not identical to the embossed image obtained with a further basic embossed element / basic male element is.
  • a further functionality of the embossing or the embossed image is achieved in an advantageous manner, whereby in the case of stacking foils with a different embossed image due to the differences in the embossed image have a sufficient distance from one another to achieve a separation of the foils when picked up.
  • Embossed images that are not identical in the sense of this invention are, for example, embossed images which are in their respective relative orientation to the printed image or in the embossed pattern differ from each other.
  • a difference of 0.1 mm, preferably 0.2 mm, in particular 0.3 mm, can be sufficient for the purposes of the invention.
  • the device is arranged in a system which comprises a material feed, an embossing device and a punching device, these being arranged with respect to one another in such a way that film material supplied from the material feed is initially embossed and is then punched by means of the punching device.
  • embossed film elements such as film lids for packaging purposes
  • sealing foils such as lids for packaging, for example for food
  • a multifunctional embossing which, in addition to ensuring that the foils can be sufficiently separated when they are picked up from a stack, has a further haptic function to provide perceptible information on the foil cover, such as a pictogram or a Braille marking.
  • perceptible information on the foil cover such as a pictogram or a Braille marking.
  • people who are restricted in terms of their visual perception can receive information about the product in the packaging.
  • the embossed image which can be perceived haptically by means of the alternating embossing elements comprises a Braille marking and / or a pictogram.
  • Fig. 1 shows a film (900) which has a haptically perceptible embossed image (130).
  • the film (900) shown can be used, for example, as a sealing film for closing a food package, such as a yoghurt pot or the like.
  • the haptically perceptible embossed image (130) can be, for example, Braille markings, with the aid of which information about the contents of the food packaging can be conveyed to persons with restricted optical perception.
  • the name of the manufacturer and the flavor (strawberry) are indicated as haptic perceptible information.
  • Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a device (100) for the multifunctional embossing of foils.
  • the device has a base embossing element (110) with a receiving area (111) and an alternating embossing element (120, 121, 122, 123) detachably arranged within the receiving area (111).
  • the detachably arranged alternating embossing elements (120, 121, 122, 123) are suitable for generating an embossed image that provides haptically perceptible information when the film is embossed.
  • the alternating embossing elements 120, 122 and 123 generate an embossed image of the Braille marking for the letter “e” and the alternating embossing element 121 an embossed image of the Braille marking for the letter “r”.
  • Fig. 3 shows an embossing plate (101) which has a plurality of basic embossing elements (110).
  • Each of the basic embossing elements (110) in turn has a receiving area for receiving a plurality of alternating embossing elements.
  • the alternating embossing elements are designed and / or arranged in the basic embossing element in such a way that the embossed image obtained with a first basic embossing element (110) is not identical to the embossed image obtained with a further basic embossing element. What is achieved by this is that when the embossed foils are stacked, the foils can be prevented from getting caught in one another and the foils can be separated when they are picked up again.
  • Fig. 4 shows a system (150) with which sealing lids can be stamped and stamped out of a sheet material, such as an aluminum foil or an aluminum / plastic composite foil.
  • the system (150) has a material feed (151) which first feeds a web-shaped film material (900) to an embossing device (152).
  • the embossing device (150) has an embossing plate with a plurality of basic embossing elements, which in turn each have a plurality of alternating embossing elements.
  • the film web embossed by means of the embossing device (150) is fed to a punching device (153), by means of which embossed film elements are punched out.
  • the embossed and punched-out film elements are stacked in a stack (154).
  • a stack 154.
