Description

The The invention relates to a device for longitudinal strapping a Object, such as a stack of newspapers, magazines or the like, with a strapping band, with a table that has a support surface for the object to be strapped, a strapping frame for the strapping, a stop device with stop members and a pressing device with pressing members for the strapping Subject.

Such Längsumreifungs devices are for example in the DE 196 32 728 C2 , of the DE 101 03 409 B4 , of the DE 103 57 829 A1 , of the DE 20 2004 015 693 U1 , of the DE 20 2005 018 928 U1 , of the DE 20 2009 006 811 U1 and the DE 20 2009 006 897 U1 the applicant described. especially the DE 101 03 409 B4 illustrates not only the table with the support surface for the object to be strapped and the Umreifungsrahmen for the strapping but also the pressing members of the pressing device, which press during the Längsumreifungsvorgangs against the side facing away from the support surface of the table top of the object to be strapped.

is the distance between the stop members of the stopper and the associated end edge of the pressing organs but relatively large, which is especially true for large d. H. relatively long to the umreifenden Objects may be the case, press the stopper organs the object to be strapped down, being between the stop members and said end edge an upstanding edge portion of the object to be strapped results. Especially the front side raised edge portion of the object to be strapped causes however, that the strapping is not in the longitudinal direction reliably rests against the object to be strapped. To Termination of the strapping process, d. H. after removing the Pressing organs from the longitudinally strapped object is a relative loose strapping often unavoidable, what a corresponding defect.

In Knowledge of these circumstances, the invention is based on the object to provide a device of the type mentioned, with which with relatively simple means a reliable Längsumreifung an object is effected.

These The object is achieved by the features of claim 1, d. H. solved by the fact that the pressing organs the pressing device in the longitudinal direction of the table in relation are adjustable to the stop members of the stopper.

The Pressing organs are in the device according to the invention expediently larger area dimensioned, they can be basic elements made of a sheet metal material have, which have lower side compliant padding elements.

at the Längsumreifungs device according to the invention The pressing members can be manually adjustable. Such Training may be useful when the Längsumreifungs device according to the invention integrated into a packaging line, in which the longitudinal to be strapped objects at least over longer Times have constant dimensions.

is the Längsumreifungs device according to the invention intended for integration into a strapping line, by means of which Within a short time or possibly successively different dimensioned objects are strapped longitudinally should, it may be useful if the pressing organs are automatically adjustable. For this purpose, the Pressing organs by means of a drive device in the table longitudinal direction be adjustable, wherein the drive means with a for detecting the each intended to be strapped object optical device is interconnected. This optical device can be a camera, photocells or the like.

Further Details, features and advantages will be apparent from the following Description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

It demonstrate:

1 Essential details of an embodiment of the Längsumreifungs device in a perspective view, and

2 in perspective a schematic representation of an embodiment of the Längsumreifungs device.

1 shows essential details of an embodiment of the invention Längsumreifungs device 10 , With the reference number 12 are parts of a table of the Längsumreifungs device 10 designated. Every table part 12 indicates a vertical axis 14 pivotable stop member 16 a stop device 18 on. The stopper organs 16 the stop device 18 are used for defined limiting the feed movement of a longitudinally to be strapped object 20 (please refer 2 ).

The table parts 12 having a table 22 (please refer 2 ) of the strapping device 10 are management columns 24 and 26 assigned. At the guide columns 24 are sleeve elements 28 li provided near movable. The sleeve elements 28 are for this purpose with piston-cylinder units 30 operatively connected. From the sleeve elements 28 stand crossbars 32 away, with management bodies 34 along the guide columns 26 are movably guided.

The crossbars 32 are with angled arms 36 combined, at their distal, ie front end portions 38 in each case a flat pressing element 40 a pressing device 42 the strapping device 10 longitudinally, by the double arrows 44 are clarified, are adjustable.

Every pressing organ 40 has a base element 46 from a sheet metal material and at the bottom of the respective base element 46 a cushioning element 48 on. The respective basic element 46 and the associated padding element 48 are with longitudinal slots 50 trained to the pressing organs 40 longitudinal 44 the device 10 Adjust as desired and in the desired position on the angled arms 36 to be able to determine. This will be the pressing organs 40 longitudinal 44 adjusted so that its front edge 52 from the hinged to the stop position stop members 36 have a small distance a.

In order to be able to set the respectively desired distance a at any time as desired, the basic elements can 46 the pressing organs 40 with scales 54 be provided.

2 schematically illustrates in a perspective view a Längsumreifungs device 10 with a table 22 that has a bearing surface 56 for each item to be strapped 20 having. In the object to be strapped 20 For example, it is a stack of newspapers, magazines or the like.

The table 22 has two laterally spaced endless belts 58 on, for transporting the object to be strapped longitudinally 20 into the device 10 into and for the removal of the longitudinally strapped object 20 are provided out of the device.

With the reference number 60 is a strapping band with which the object 20 is strapped longitudinally.

Same details are in 2 with the same reference numerals as in 1 referred, so that it is unnecessary, in connection with 2 to describe all these details in more detail.

The training of the device 10 according to 2 is different from the one in 1 drawn embodiment in that the pressing members 40 in the by the double arrows 44 indicated longitudinal direction not manually but automatically adjustable. For this purpose, the pressing organs 40 each with a schematically drawn drive device 62 operatively connected. This active compound is indicated by the arrows 64 indicated schematically. The drive devices 62 are with an optical device 66 interconnected, which may be, for example, a camera, photocells or the like. With the help of the optical device 66 becomes the size of each item to be strapped 20 detected to the pressing organs 40 in the longitudinal direction of the double arrows 44 to adjust such that the distance a between the end edges 52 the pressing organs 50 and the stop members adjusted in the stop position 16 the strapping device 10 is small. As a result, an undesirable raising of the object to be strapped 20 at its at the stop organs 16 adjacent front 68 prevents, so that the strapping band 60 in the longitudinal direction of the object to be strapped 20 close to these.
