Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing hinged boxes (hinge-lid packs), in particular with rounded or beveled longitudinal edges, which can be fed to a gluing unit on a pack web for gluing outer side flaps (side flaps, lid-side flaps) as part of packs -Side walls, the horizontally oriented side tabs and the lid side tabs being supported by guides.
  • Hinged boxes for cigarettes and the like are usually constructed in such a way that side walls of a box part and a lid made of glue are connected to one another There are side tabs or lid side tabs.
  • the side tabs are usually connected to a box front wall and the lid side tabs to a lid front wall.
  • the glue is applied to the inside of the outer side flaps or lid side flaps.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device for producing folding boxes so that a perfect gluing of laterally protruding side tabs or lid side tabs of folding boxes is guaranteed.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that fixed guide rails serving as lateral guides of the packing track each form an upper support surface as a support surface for the side tabs and the lid side tabs and have lateral guide ribs for their lateral edges.
  • guide rails which are fixed along the packing path are accordingly arranged as side guides for the side tabs or cover side tabs.
  • the guide rails have an upper support surface which, as a support surface, holds the side tabs and lid side tabs in a (roughly) horizontal position. In this position, glue can be transferred in a known manner from below via glue rollers to the side flaps or lid side flaps.
  • the guide rails according to the invention also have lateral guide ribs for the lateral limitation of the packing track. The guide ribs guide against relative lateral movements of the packs in the region of the side tabs or lid-side tabs.
  • a top guide is provided according to a further feature of the invention, which preferably extends approximately in the longitudinal center of the hinged box above the same. This strip-shaped top guide extends beyond a gluing unit.
  • an upper-side counter-guide for the protruding side tabs or lid-side tabs is provided, so that they run practically in all directions and pass through the gluing unit in a very precise relative position.
  • the details shown in the drawings are part of a packaging machine for the production and filling of hinged boxes 10.
  • This type of packaging is particularly known for holding cigarettes.
  • the hinged box 10 usually consists of a box part 11 and a cover 12.
  • Side walls of these hinged boxes 10 each consist of folding tabs folded over one another and connected to one another by adhesive bonding. These are inner side tabs and lid side tabs that are connected to a rear wall of the box part 11 and to a lid rear wall.
  • These inner side flaps are folded in the area of a folding turret 13 into the position appropriate for the pack (bearing on the contents of the pack, namely on the cigarette block 14).
  • External side tabs 15 and lid side tabs 16 are connected to a box front wall 17 and a lid front wall 18, respectively.
  • the side tabs 15 and 16 are provided with glue on the undersides in a horizontally oriented position, namely in the plane of the box front wall 17 and lid front wall 18, and then folded over .
  • the folding turret 13 is designed in the manner shown and described in US Pat. No. 4,084,393.
  • the almost finished folded hinged boxes 10 leave the folding turret 13 in the radial direction, the hinged boxes 10 directly entering a linear packing web 19 adjoining the folding turret 13.
  • the side tabs 15 and the lid side tabs 16 are glued by a gluing unit 20.
  • this consists of lateral glue disks 21 which are immersed in a glue container 22.
  • the rotatingly driven glue discs 21 transfer glue to the downward inside of the side flaps 15 and lid side flaps 16. Above them there are also rotating counter washers 47 which rest on the top of the horizontally directed side flaps 15 and lid side flaps 16.
  • the packing web 19 consists of two support rails 23, 24, on which the hinged boxes 10 slide during transport.
  • the support rails 23, 24 are arranged at a distance from one another such that a central longitudinal slot 25 is formed.
  • Carriers 26 of a chain conveyor pass through this. The catches 26 grip the hinged boxes 10 on the rear sides or in the area of floor surfaces and convey the hinged boxes 10 along the packing track 19.
  • the side tabs 15 and lid-side tabs 16 are to assume the most exact possible relative position within the packing web 19 for the transfer of the glue and, above all, are to be directed horizontally. In folding boxes 10 with preformed side tabs 15 and lid side tabs 16, this requirement presents difficulties. This applies in particular to folding boxes with rounded or beveled longitudinal edges 27 and correspondingly pre-shaped side tabs (US Pat. No. 4,753,383 and US Pat. No. 4,753,384).
  • lateral guide rails 28, 29 are provided directly next to the path of movement of the folding boxes 10.
  • these guide rails 28, 29 are integrated into the profile of the packing track 19, namely the support rails 23, 24.
  • the guide rails 28, 29 are arranged so that they form an exact side guide of the hinged boxes 10.
  • an upper support surface 30 of the guide rails 28, 29 is particularly important. These support surfaces 30 serve to support and support the horizontally oriented side tabs 15 and lid side tabs 16.
  • the support surface 30 therefore extends at the level of the front of the hinged box 10 (box front wall 17, cover front wall 18).
  • the side tabs 15, 16 slide on the support surfaces 30 during transportation.
  • the guide rails 28, 29 are also provided with side guides for the side tabs 15 and lid side tabs 16.
  • a lateral guide rib 31 is arranged on the upper side of the guide rails 28, 29. The lateral edges of the side tabs 15 and cover side tabs 16 can be in contact with these guide ribs 31.
  • an upper guide for the side tabs 15 and lid-side tabs 16 is provided in an area facing the gluing unit 20.
  • This consists of rod-shaped, elongated guide bodies 32, 33 which extend in a stationary manner above the guide rails 28, 29.
  • the guide bodies 32, 33 are slightly offset inwards relative to the guide rails 28, 29 and thus extend above the edge region of the hinged boxes 10.
  • the guide bodies 32, 33 are connected to the support rails 23, 24 of the packing web 19 via angular holding pieces 34.
  • a guide web 35 extends above the movement path of the folding boxes 10 in such a way that they are secured against undesired upward movements.
  • the guide web 35 is mounted on side supports 36, in such a way that the guide web 35 lies under its own weight on the top of the folding boxes 10 during transport in the packing web 19.
  • the guide web 35 can be lifted off the supports 36 and is therefore not anchored upwards. Rather, there are openings 38 on the lateral support arms, into each of which a pin 39 on the top of the supports 36 freely enters.
  • the guide web 35 extends beyond the gluing unit 20. In the area of the same, a cutout 40 is formed for the passage of a shaft 41 of the counter disks 47.
  • the lateral guides, namely guide rails 28, 29 extend right up to the gluing unit 20 in such a way that the side tabs 15 and lid side tabs 16 change without changing the exact gluing position in the Gluing unit 20, namely between glue discs 21 and counter discs 47 are introduced.
  • the ends of the guide rails 28, 29 are provided with a bevel 43 in order to ensure a maximum guide or support distance (FIG. 3).
  • the top guide of the side tabs 15 and lid side tabs 16, namely the guide bodies 32, 33, also extend or extend directly to the gluing unit 20.
  • the guide bodies 32, 33 are provided with an opposite bevel 44 for this purpose.
  • the guide rails 28, 29 merge into side walls 45, 46 of significantly smaller thickness.
  • the glue discs 21 can be effective laterally next to the side walls 45, 46.
  • the side walls 45, 46 serve here only as a side guide for the hinged boxes 10.
  • the side flaps 15 and lid side flaps 16 are folded over after the gluing in the usual way against the already folded inner side flaps, that is to say in an upright position. This folding process is carried out by known folding switches.
  • the finished pack is then fed to an intermediate turret 42, which feeds the packs to, for example, a dry turret (not shown).
