Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products.
  • open-point style For products such as fruit jellies, the use is known of a type of wrapping known as "open-point style".
  • Such type entails that a sheet is wrapped around the product, folding the laterally-protruding flaps (i.e. the flaps that protrude with respect to the two lateral heads of the product) substantially in a triangular shape.
  • the covering sheet will be heat-sealed along its edges in order to isolate the product from the outside environment.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products that can be implemented on an industrial scale, producing an open-point style package.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products that enables high productivity of open-point style packages.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products that makes it possible to seal completely or partially each product within a respective open-point style package.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products which is low cost, easily and practically implemented, and safe in use.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates the wrapping sheet used in the process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products P according to the invention.
  • the products P that will preferably be packaged by implementing the process according to the invention are of the type preferably chosen from among fruit jellies, chocolates, candy, chocolate bars, snacks, chewing gums and the like.
  • the first step of the process entails juxtaposing the wrapping sheet 1 against a first face A of the product P.
  • a second step consists in folding the flaps 2, 3 of the sheet 1 onto the product P along the faces B, C that are contiguous to the first face A, giving the sheet 1 a U-shape with one flap 2 longer than the other flap 3.
  • the stable coupling of the long flap 2 to the inner face of the short flap 3 also entails fixing operations, such as heat-sealing, adhesive bonding and the like.
  • the stable coupling is done by way of a folding element that impacts the long flap 2, spreads it below the product P proper, and presses it against the short flap 3.
  • a fourth step entails folding the free short flap 3 of the sheet 1, which comprises a respective portion of the long flap 2 which is folded and stably coupled thereto, onto the base of the product P.
  • the product P which is stably coupled to the sheet 1, through 180° about a longitudinal axis thereof.
  • the sixth step entails folding the tubular portions 4, 5 that protrude with respect to the two mutually opposite heads D, E of the product P onto the respective head D, E, stably coupling them in the closed configuration and defining first, central portions 6 that are coplanar to the first face A and second, external portions 7 and 8, which are respectively coplanar to the faces B and C.
  • the sixth step entails folding such external portions 7 and 8 onto the respective central portion 6.
  • the seventh step consists in folding such external portions 8 onto the respective external portion 7, which was previously folded onto the central portion 6, so as to form two substantially triangular tabs 9 and 10.
  • the ninth step of the wrapping process entails compressing the tabs 9 and 10 so as to reinforce the mutual coupling of the portions 6, 7 and 8.
  • juxtaposition of the sheet 1 against the first face A of the product P can positively occur during the advancement of the product P toward the respective packaging unit.
  • Folding the flaps 2, 3 of the sheet 1 onto the product P along the faces B, C that are contiguous with the first face A, which gives the sheet 1 a U-shape (as can be seen in the accompanying Figure 1 ) with one flap longer than the other (the flap 2 is longer than the flap 3), can advantageously be obtained by making the product P pass through a hopper, preceded (in its travel toward the hopper) by the sheet 1, which will be juxtaposed against the first face A of the product 1 proper.
  • the hopper conveniently will have a shape and dimensions that are at least partially complementary to those of the product P, so as to lay out the sheet 1 and make it adhere to the outer surface of the product P proper.
  • Such tabs comprise heated bands for providing a heat-sealed coupling seam.
  • the sheet 1 in order to enable valid and stable couplings, comprises localized layers of at least one substance chosen from among adhesives, thermoplastic polymers, adhesive tapes and the like.
  • Such layers can already be present on the sheet 1 when it is supplied in order to begin the wrapping operations, or they can be deposited on respective localized areas of the sheet 1 in one of the steps of the process.
  • foldings of the tubular portions 4, 5 that protrude with respect to the two mutually opposite heads D, E of the product P onto the respective head D, E, of the external portions 7 onto the respective central portion 6, and of the external portions 8 onto the respective external portion 7 are provided in sequence by way of respective contoured folding elements, forced onto respective contrast elements the shape and dimensions of which are complementary to the folding elements.
  • the present invention solves the above mentioned problems, by providing a process for the at least partially sealed wrapping of individual products P that can be implemented on an industrial scale, producing an open-point style package.
  • the process according to the invention makes it possible to completely or partially seal each product P within a respective open-point style package.
  • the process according to the invention is easily and practically implemented, and is substantially low cost: such characteristics make the process according to the invention an innovation that is certain to be safe in use.
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
