Description

Là présente invention a pour objet une machine à étiqueter des produits cylindriques pouvant notamment présenter des formes irrégulières comme, par exemple, des saucissons.The present invention relates to a machine for labeling cylindrical products which may in particular have irregular shapes such as, for example, sausages.

Actuellement, l'étiquetage des saucissons est effectué manuellement. Une ou plusieurs personnes préposées à cette tâche enrobent chaque saucisson au moyen d'une étiquette provenant d'une machine distributrice. Cette opération manuelle est longue et donc onéreuse.Currently, the labeling of sausages is done manually. One or more people assigned to this task coat each sausage with a label from a vending machine. This manual operation is long and therefore expensive.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à cet inconvénient et notamment de prévoir une machine pour étiqueter rapidement des saucissons ou autres produits cylindriques de façon automatique ou semi- automatique.The object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback and in particular to provide a machine for quickly labeling sausages or other cylindrical products automatically or semi-automatically.

A cet effet, la machine pour étiqueter des produits cylindriques et notamment des saucissons, selon l'invention, est formée, d'une'part, par un corps présentant un évidement en forme de portion de cylindre d'axe horizontal et, d'autre part, par un rouleau cylindrique d'axe parallèle à celui de l'évidement du corps, de diamètre inférieur à ce dernier et monté de façon à pouvoir tourner à l'intérieur de cet évidement, l'un au moins de ces deux éléments (corps, rouleau) étant garni sur toute sa face. en regard de l'autre élément d'un matériau souple, de sorte que l'espace en forme de portion d'anneau cylindrique ainsi délimité entre ces deux éléments ait une largeur légèrement inférieure au diamètre général d'un saucisson.To this end, the machine for labeling cylindrical products and in particular sausages, according to the invention, is formed, on the one hand, by a body having a recess in the form of a portion of cylinder with a horizontal axis and, on the other hand, by a cylindrical roller with an axis parallel to that of the recess of the body, of diameter smaller than the latter and mounted so as to be able to rotate inside this recess, at least one of these two elements (body, roller) being trimmed over its entire face. opposite the other element of a flexible material, so that the space in the form of a portion of cylindrical ring thus delimited between these two elements has a width slightly less than the general diameter of a sausage.

Chaque saucisson, avec son étiquette positionnée de façon à le ceinturer et à ne pas être rejetée par la machine, est introduit à l'entrée de la machine et est entraîné en rotation sur lui-même dans l'espace annulaire compris entre les deux éléments, par la rotation du rouleau. Il est pressé de façon uniforme contre le matériau souple garnissant l'un des éléments et, à la sortie de la machine, l'étiquette a sa place définitive sur le saucisson.Each sausage, with its label positioned so as to surround it and not be rejected by the machine, is introduced at the entrance of the machine and is rotated on itself in the annular space between the two elements , by the rotation of the roller. It is pressed uniformly against the flexible material lining one of the elements and, at the exit of the machine, the label has its final place on the sausage.

Afin d'augmenter la largeur d'entraînement de chaque saucisson dans la machine, le rouleau cylindrique est concentrique à l'évidement en portion de cylindre du corps, et, afin d'améliorer l'efficacité de la machine, notamment pour tenir compte des irrégularités de forme de chaque saucisson, le rouleau cylindrique et le corps en portion de cylindre sont recouverts chacun sur leurs faces en regard d'un matériau souple.In order to increase the driving width of each sausage in the machine, the cylindrical roller is concentric with the recess in the cylinder portion of the body, and, in order to improve the efficiency of the machine, in particular to take account of the irregularities in the shape of each sausage, the cylindrical roll and the cylinder-shaped body are each covered on their faces opposite a flexible material.

De toute façon, l'invention et d'autre caractéristiques seront mieux comprises à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé dont l'unique figure est une vue en perspective de la machine à étiqueter représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de la présente invention.In any case, the invention and other characteristics will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing of which the only figure is a perspective view of the labeling machine representing, by way of non-limiting example, an embodiment of the present invention.

La machine à étiqueter montrée sur le dessin est formée, d'une part, par un corps (2) de forme générale parallélépipédique et présentant un évidement (3) de forme demi-cylindrique et, d'autre part, par un rouleau cylindrique (4) recouvert de mousse, de plus petit diamètre et concentrique à l'évidement (3), entre lesquels peut s'engager un saucisson (5). L'évidement (3) est recouvert d'une plaque de mousse (3a), et l'espace annulaire cylindrique (6) compris entre le rouleau cylindrique (4) et l'évidement en forme de demi-cylindre (3) recouvert de mousse a une largeur légèrement inférieure au diamètre général d'un saucisson (5).The labeling machine shown in the drawing is formed, on the one hand, by a body (2) of generally parallelepiped shape and having a recess (3) of semi-cylindrical shape and, on the other hand, by a cylindrical roller ( 4) covered with foam, of smaller diameter and concentric with the recess (3), between which a sausage (5) can engage. The recess (3) is covered with a foam plate (3a), and the cylindrical annular space (6) between the cylindrical roller (4) and the recess in the form of a half-cylinder (3) covered with foam has a width slightly less than the general diameter of a sausage (5).

Le rouleau cylindrique (4) tourne à l'intérieur de l'évidement (3a) dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d'une montre, indiqué par la flèche (8). Chaque saucisson (5) est introduit à l'entrée de la machine, c'est-à-dire à gauche sur le dessin, avec son étiquette (7) placée de façon à le ceinturer et légèrement de biais, comme montré sur lafigure. Le saucisson -(5) est entraîné en rotation sur lui-même, dans le sens indiqué par la flèche (9), par la rotation du rouleau cylindrique (4), et est légèrement pressé entre les deux surfaces en mousse (3a) et (4). De la sorte, l'étiquette (7) s'enroule autour du saucisson (5) et est pressée de façon uniforme contre lui, les plaques de mousse (3a) et (4) dont sont recouverts respectivement l'évidement (3) et le cylindre (4) permettant de neutraliser l'effet des irrégularités de surface de chaque saucisson (5).The cylindrical roller (4) rotates inside the recess (3a) anti-clockwise, indicated by the arrow (8). Each sausage (5) is introduced at the entrance to the machine, that is to say on the left in the drawing, with its label (7) placed so as to surround it and slightly at an angle, as shown in the figure. The sausage - (5) is rotated on itself, in the direction indicated by the arrow (9), by the rotation of the cylindrical roller (4), and is slightly pressed between the two foam surfaces (3a) and (4). In this way, the label (7) wraps around the sausage (5) and is pressed uniformly against it, the foam plates (3a) and (4) with which the recess (3) and the cylinder (4) making it possible to neutralize the effect of the surface irregularities of each sausage (5).

A la sortie de la machine (sur la droite sur le dessin), chaque étiquette (7) est en place sur son saucisson (5).When leaving the machine (on the right in the drawing), each label (7) is in place on its sausage (5).

La couche de mousse (3a) de l'évidement (3) est légèrement prolongée vers le haut à l'entrée de la machine en (10) de façon à réaliser un guidage pour l'introduction des saucissons (5) dans la machine.The foam layer (3a) of the recess (3) is slightly extended upwards at the entrance to the machine at (10) so as to provide guidance for the introduction of the sausages (5) into the machine.

Le côté (2a) du corps (2) situé à la sortie de la machine sur la droite du dessin est abaissé de façon à faciliter la sortie des saucissons (5). Des moyens de collage quelconques peuvent être prévus pour coller chaque étiquette (étiquette autocollante...), et les moyens d'alimentation de la machine en saucissons et étiquettes ainsi que les moyens de prélèvement des saucissons étiquetés peuvent de même être très variés ; ils peuvent être notamment manuels ou automatiques.The side (2a) of the body (2) located at the outlet of the machine on the right of the drawing is lowered so as to facilitate the outlet of the sausages (5). Any gluing means can be provided for gluing each label (self-adhesive label, etc.), and the means of supplying the machine with sausages and labels as well as the means of removing the labeled sausages can likewise be very varied; they can in particular be manual or automatic.

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple non limitatif ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les formes de réalisation mettant en oeuvre des moyens équivalents.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the single embodiment described above by way of nonlimiting example; on the contrary, it embraces all of the embodiments using equivalent means.
