Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for producing a flexible plastic bag for packaging liquids, said bag being firstly in the form of a cushion already filled with liquid, device for reporting on said cushion means for gripping, stiffening and supporting information and for conforming the sachet in its final form of marketing and use, of the type comprising jaws for enclosing the cushion in a sleeve of cold-formed stretchable synthetic material around said jaws movable in translation and in separation with respect to each other between which the cushion is disposed.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing such sachets as well as the sachets thus obtained.
- a device of this type has already been proposed by the applicant, for example in the European patent issued 167469.
- a cushion provided with a handle or stiffening element is brought into a compression means where its final conformation is ensured.
- this device nevertheless has some drawbacks insofar as the handle is applied to the cushion before it is filled, which implies very rigorous control of the asepsis conditions.
- the object of the invention is therefore to propose a device making it possible to remedy these drawbacks of the prior art, that is to say allowing a stiffening element to be brought back without problem of asepsis, gripping and presenting information on a cushion already filled with liquid.
- a device of this type has already been proposed by patent US-A-3313090.
- the device is specifically intended to attach and maintain on a rigid container, in this case made of glass, a label or the like.
- a device for producing a flexible plastic bag intended for the packaging of liquids said bag being initially presented in the form of a cushion already filled with liquid, device making it possible to attach to said cushion a means of gripping, stiffening and supporting information and to conform the sachet in its final form of marketing and use, of the type comprising jaws for enclosing the cushion in a sleeve of material stretchable synthetic cold formed around said jaws movable in translation and in separation with respect to each other between which the cushion is disposed, characterized in that it comprises suction cups for applying two stiffening elements which will each be held on a side face of the cushion only by the sleeve when the jaws have been removed, the device further comprising a gluing station to conform the bottom of the bag by gluing one on the other of the free ends of each of the stiffening elements.
- the cushion will be provided with an opening-closing plug attached to it under aseptic conditions, said plug serving as a guide means for ensuring the precise positioning of the cushion in the device of the invention between said jaws.
- the device will make it possible to apply two stiffening elements which will each be held on a lateral face of the cushion only by the sleeve when the jaws have been removed, the device further comprising means for conforming the bottom of the bag by gluing one on the other of the free ends of each of the stiffening elements.
- the subject of the invention is also a sachet made of flexible synthetic material comprising a flexible and generally transparent body enclosed by lateral reinforcements also forming a bottom, characterized in that the lateral reinforcements are joined at the base by bonding to form the bottom, the whole being held by a sleeve made of cold-stretch synthetic material.
- the bags of the invention are distinguished from those of the prior art, as described for example in GB-A-1024241 by the fact that the reinforcements are held exclusively by a sleeve and that they are joined at their base by collage to form the bottom of the bag. This structure is of simpler and less expensive design and implementation.
- the device (1) is supplied by flexible bags already filled with liquid to be packaged and provided with a stopper-stopper seal as described for example in patent application in France 256632 in the name of the applicant. These are sort of "pillows" of liquid.
- the cushions When they fall on the rail (9), the cushions assume a shape shown schematically in Figure 3B.
- the two lower corners form horns projecting downward, as also illustrated in the European patent issued 142456 in the name of the applicant.
- the aforementioned plug (17) We also see in Figure 3B the aforementioned plug (17).
- the chute comprises a guide (18) which follows the cushion until it is in position on the rail and then disappears upwards, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3, to allow its passage and its progression towards the other stations.
- the cushion Upon its arrival through the chute in the actual shaping device, the cushion is integrated into a process already initialized upstream, as will be described.
- the functional basis of the device according to the invention consists of a plurality of pairs of jaws (19, 20) parallel to each other, parallel to the rail (9) and able to move jointly parallel to the latter.
- the clamp By advancing one step (for an indexed advancement device), the clamp is presented at the position (21) for taking up the reinforcements.
- This station comprises at least one, preferably two stores (2, 22) containing the reinforcements (3).
- the device At the station (21) for taking up the reinforcements, the device has a ramp (23) provided on its two faces and parallel to the axis of travel of the suction cup clamps (24), for example three in number as shown in the figure 6. If there are two magazines (2, 22), there will of course be two opposite sets of suction cups.
- the ramp (23) supporting the suction cups forms with a base (25) shown in Figure 6 a unit (23) movable in translation transversely relative to the axis of movement of the clamps on a slide (26).
- the crew (or ramp) (23) can move alternately from one store to another to take reinforcement there each time through the suction cups, possibly with pneumatic suction and servo-control adequate.
- the structure of the magazines (2, 22) is illustrated in FIG. 6. They comprise a carcass (27) for restraining the reinforcements which are guided therein by an elastic guide (28) up to the magazine exit, so - even known.
- a spring not shown, biases the reinforcements towards the front outlet of the store. At this level, the reinforcements are temporarily maintained, until they are taken up by the suction cups, by elastic latches (29) integral for example with the carcass (27) .
- the jaws of the clamp which is at the position for taking up the reinforcements are arranged between the front ends of the magazines (2, 22) and the suction cups (24).
- the reinforcements must therefore be taken through the jaws (19, 20) which are perforated, as shown in FIG. 4A, as many orifices (30) as there are suction cups at the level of the jaw.
- It comprises a film supply reel (4) (5) which passes between two systems of advance rollers (31, 32) in themselves conventional.
- the feed reel and the feed rollers (reel) are vertical. They prepare the desired length of film so that it can completely envelop the assembly formed by the clamp and the two reinforcements without the film being stretched.
- rollers (31, 32) are for example ensured by jacks (37) and return springs (38) as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5.
- the film is unwound with a predetermined length and envelops the assembly formed by the clamp and the reinforcements which it carries.
- the film is then welded and cut to form a sleeve. This operation is carried out as follows.
- the bars (39, 40) of the welding tongs have an asymmetrical displacement. Indeed, it has been observed that during the subsequent stretching of the sleeve (see below), the stretching was weak at the level of the reinforcements and maximum in the zone of the bag not comprising said reinforcements, that is to say between the clamps. So to avoid having vertical weld lines on this free zone, which is detrimental from an aesthetic point of view because at the output of the device these zones correspond to the transparent faces of the bag, the weld is carried out on the edge d 'a reinforcement, preferably the front reinforcement, that is to say on the plug side.
- one of the bars will be almost fixed and the second, for example the bar (40) will carry with it a length of film; the welding-cutting will be carried out at the edge (41).
- the movements of the rollers are determined so that the corresponding weld on the film (5) will then be on the other edge (42) of the bag and so on.
- the jaws of the clamp are spread in a direction perpendicular to the rail, the spacing between the two jaws being adjusted according to the value of desired and admissible stretching for the film without tearing it, without breaking at the weld lines and without residual elongation.
- the cushion affects at this stage the configuration of FIG. 3B, on the left in the figure, the two lower horns (43) affecting said configuration, that is to say projecting downward relative to the rail.
- the liquid contained in the horns (43) is driven therefrom by a pair of pressing and welding jaws (44, 45), the structure of which is the subject of another patent application filed on the same day by the applicant. .
- Welding and pressing are carried out in any event through the fender flange (46) which also extends downwards, said filler being made of cardboard coated at this point with polyethylene on its internal face for welding.
- a clamp (47) of the same type as the previous ones expels the liquid contained in the upper horn (48) opposite the stopper.
- a weld is made at the same time, preferably without cutting.
- one of the wings is glued (49) by a gluing nozzle (50) as illustrated in FIG. 3C.
- the two wings are folded one against the other and therefore glued together by means of two pairs of pistons (51) arranged on each side of the rail and provided with teeth interlocking in others. This produces a pressing of the two wings and a bonding thereof between them.
- a corner (52) mechanically inserts the welded horn (48) between the body of the bag and the rear buttress.
- the rail stops and the bag falls towards the bagging and overwrapping stations as described above, after bringing the jaws together and retracting the sleeve.
- the clamps then return to the starting point of the device and the process is resumed.
- FIGS. 4 and 4A where a clamp jaw is shown.
- the jaws are fixed from the top and are subject to movement by rollers (53) in slides (54) forming a cam path.
- rollers (53) in slides (54) forming a cam path.
- FIG. 7 shows a sachet obtained in accordance with the invention.
- the sachet of the invention can be sold in unit form or in multiple packaging.
- liquid food products such as mineral water, spring water, table water, fruit and fruit drinks, milk drinks, milk, etc.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif pour la réalisation d'un sachet en matière synthétique souple destiné au conditionnement de liquides, ledit sachet se présentant dans un premier temps sous la forme d'un coussin déjà rempli de liquide, dispositif permettant de rapporter sur ledit coussin un moyen de préhension, de rigidification et de support d'informations et de conformer le sachet dans sa forme définitive de commercialisation et d'utilisation, du type comportant des mâchoires pour enserrer le coussin dans un manchon en matériau synthétique étirable formé à froid autour desdites mâchoires mobiles en translation et en écartement l'une par rapport à l'autre entre lesquelles est disposé le coussin.The present invention relates to a device for producing a flexible plastic bag for packaging liquids, said bag being firstly in the form of a cushion already filled with liquid, device for reporting on said cushion means for gripping, stiffening and supporting information and for conforming the sachet in its final form of marketing and use, of the type comprising jaws for enclosing the cushion in a sleeve of cold-formed stretchable synthetic material around said jaws movable in translation and in separation with respect to each other between which the cushion is disposed.
L'invention a également pour objet un procédé pour la réalisation de tels sachets ainsi que les sachets ainsi obtenus.The invention also relates to a method for producing such sachets as well as the sachets thus obtained.
Un dispositif de ce type a déjà été proposé par la demanderesse, par exemple dans le brevet européen délivré 167469. Dans le dispositif qui y est décrit, un coussin muni d'une poignée ou élément de rigidification est amené dans un moyen de contention où sa conformation définitive est assurée. Bien qu'il donne entière satisfaction, ce dispositif présente cependant quelques inconvénients dans la mesure où la poignée est appliquée sur le coussin avant son remplissage, ce qui implique un contrôle très rigoureux des conditions d'asepsie.A device of this type has already been proposed by the applicant, for example in the European patent issued 167469. In the device described therein, a cushion provided with a handle or stiffening element is brought into a compression means where its final conformation is ensured. Although it is entirely satisfactory, this device nevertheless has some drawbacks insofar as the handle is applied to the cushion before it is filled, which implies very rigorous control of the asepsis conditions.
Par ailleurs, des difficultés sont rencontrées pour obtenir ainsi un positionnement précis et régulier de l'élément de rigidification.Furthermore, difficulties are encountered in obtaining a precise and regular positioning of the stiffening element.
Un dispositif pour la pose d'un tel élément de rigidification a été proposé par exemple dans le brevet européen délivré 146482 au nom de la demanderesse.A device for installing such a stiffening element has been proposed for example in the European patent issued 146482 in the name of the applicant.
Il est apparu que tous ces inconvénients étaient principalement liés au fait que l'élément de rigidification est rapporté par collage ou soudure sur la gaine tubulaire conduisant à la formation ultérieure des coussins, remplis de liquide.It appeared that all these drawbacks were mainly linked to the fact that the stiffening element is attached by gluing or welding to the tubular sheath leading to the subsequent formation of the cushions, filled with liquid.
L'invention a en conséquence pour objet de proposer un dispositif permettant de remédier à ces inconvénients de l'art antérieur, c'est-à-dire permettant de rapporter sans problème d'asepsie et de manière précise et régulière un élément de rigidification, de préhension et de présentation d'informations sur un coussin déjà rempli de liquide.The object of the invention is therefore to propose a device making it possible to remedy these drawbacks of the prior art, that is to say allowing a stiffening element to be brought back without problem of asepsis, gripping and presenting information on a cushion already filled with liquid.
Un dispositif de ce type a déjà été proposé par le brevet US-A-3313090. Cependant, le dispositif est spécifiquement destiné à rapporter et maintenir sur un conteneur rigide en l'occurrence en verre, une étiquette ou analogue.A device of this type has already been proposed by patent US-A-3313090. However, the device is specifically intended to attach and maintain on a rigid container, in this case made of glass, a label or the like.
En aucune manière il n'est précisé qu'il s'agit de rapporter des renforts latéraux sur un coussin souple, qui y sont maintenus exclusivement par un manchon étirable.In no way is it specified that it involves bringing lateral reinforcements to a flexible cushion, which are held there exclusively by a stretchable sleeve.
Conformément à l'invention, ce résultat est obtenu avec un dispositif pour la réalisation d'un sachet en matière synthétique souple destiné au conditionnement de liquides, ledit sachet se présentant dans un premier temps sous la forme d'un coussin déjà rempli de liquide, dispositif permettant de rapporter sur ledit coussin un moyen de préhension, de rigidification et de support d'informations et de conformer le sachet dans sa forme définitive de commercialisation et d'utilisation, du type comportant des mâchoires pour enserrer le coussin dans un manchon en matériau synthétique étirable formé à froid autour desdites mâchoires mobiles en translation et en écartement l'une par rapport à l'autre entre lesquelles est disposé le coussin, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte des ventouses pour appliquer deux éléments de rigidification qui seront maintenus chacun sur une face latérale du coussin uniquement par le manchon lorsque les mâchoires auront été retirées, le dispositif comportant en outre un poste d'encollage pour conformer le fond du sachet par collage l'une sur l'autre des extrémités libres de chacun des éléments de rigidification.In accordance with the invention, this result is obtained with a device for producing a flexible plastic bag intended for the packaging of liquids, said bag being initially presented in the form of a cushion already filled with liquid, device making it possible to attach to said cushion a means of gripping, stiffening and supporting information and to conform the sachet in its final form of marketing and use, of the type comprising jaws for enclosing the cushion in a sleeve of material stretchable synthetic cold formed around said jaws movable in translation and in separation with respect to each other between which the cushion is disposed, characterized in that it comprises suction cups for applying two stiffening elements which will each be held on a side face of the cushion only by the sleeve when the jaws have been removed, the device further comprising a gluing station to conform the bottom of the bag by gluing one on the other of the free ends of each of the stiffening elements.
Avantageusement, le coussin sera muni d'un bouchon d'ouverture-fermeture rapporté sur celui-ci dans des conditions aseptiques, ledit bouchon servant de moyen de guidage pour assurer le positionnement précis du coussin dans le dispositif de l'invention entre lesdites mâchoires.Advantageously, the cushion will be provided with an opening-closing plug attached to it under aseptic conditions, said plug serving as a guide means for ensuring the precise positioning of the cushion in the device of the invention between said jaws.
Selon une caractéristique particulière de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, le dispositif permettra d'appliquer deux éléments de rigidification qui seront maintenus chacun sur une face latérale du coussin uniquement par le manchon lorsque les mâchoires auront été retirées, le dispositif comportant en outre des moyens pour conformer le fond du sachet par collage l'une sur l'autre des extrémités libres de chacun des éléments de rigidification.According to a particular characteristic of implementation of the invention, the device will make it possible to apply two stiffening elements which will each be held on a lateral face of the cushion only by the sleeve when the jaws have been removed, the device further comprising means for conforming the bottom of the bag by gluing one on the other of the free ends of each of the stiffening elements.
En variante, on pourra prévoir que le dispositif applique un seul élément de rigidification sur le fond du coussin, les deux ailes étant ensuite rabattues sur les faces latérales du coussin par des pistons verticaux avant la pose du manchon étirable. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, on propose un procédé pour la réalisation d'un sachet en matière synthétique souple destiné au conditionnement de liquides, ledit sachet se présentant dans un premier temps sous la forme d'un coussin déjà rempli de liquide, caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à:
- ― enserrer le coussin entre des renforts latéraux,
- ― maintenir l'ensemble par un manchon en matériau étirable à froid,
- ― relier entre eux par collage à leur base des renforts latéraux pour former le fond du sachet.
- - enclose the cushion between lateral reinforcements,
- - maintain the assembly by a sleeve of cold stretch material,
- - connect them by gluing side reinforcements to their base to form the bottom of the bag.
Enfin l'invention a également pour objet un sachet en matière synthétique souple comportant un corps souple et généralement transparent enserré par des renforts latéraux formant également un fond, caractérisé en ce que les renforts latéraux sont réunis à la base par collage pour former le fond, l'ensemble étant maintenu par un manchon en matériau synthétique étirable à froid.Finally, the subject of the invention is also a sachet made of flexible synthetic material comprising a flexible and generally transparent body enclosed by lateral reinforcements also forming a bottom, characterized in that the lateral reinforcements are joined at the base by bonding to form the bottom, the whole being held by a sleeve made of cold-stretch synthetic material.
Les sachets de l'invention se distinguent de ceux de l'art antérieur, tels que décrits par exemple dans le GB-A-1024241 par le fait que les renforts sont maintenus exclusivement par un manchon et qu'ils sont réunis à leur base par collage pour former le fond du sachet. Cette structure est de conception et de mise en oeuvre plus simples et moins onéreuse.The bags of the invention are distinguished from those of the prior art, as described for example in GB-A-1024241 by the fact that the reinforcements are held exclusively by a sleeve and that they are joined at their base by collage to form the bottom of the bag. This structure is of simpler and less expensive design and implementation.

On se référera tout d'abord à la figure 1.We will first refer to Figure 1.
On y a représenté les principaux éléments constitutifs du dispositif de l'invention, généralement référencé (1), à savoir:
- ― un magasin (2) de fourniture de renfort (3);
- ― une bobine (4) de film étirable à froid (5);
- ― une pince du poste de soudure découpe (6) du film (5) pour le conformer en manchon (7);
- ― une goulotte (8) d'amenée des coussins;
- ― un rail plan (9) sur lequel cheminent les fonds des sachets;

- ― un poste de collage (12) des ailes de renforts entre eux;
- ― un poste (13) d'évacuation des sachets terminés les évacuant, par exemple,vers un ensachage (14) et une bande transporteuse (15).
- - a reinforcement supply store (2) (3);
- - a reel (4) of cold stretch film (5);
- - a clamp of the cutting soldering station (6) of the film (5) to conform it into a sleeve (7);
- - a chute (8) for supplying the cushions;
- - a flat rail (9) on which the bottoms of the bags travel;
- - a welding station (10) of the lower corners of the bag;
- - a gluing station (11) of the wing of one of the reinforcements;
- - A bonding station (12) of the reinforcement wings therebetween;
- - A station (13) for evacuating the finished sachets evacuating them, for example, to a bagging (14) and a conveyor belt (15).
A la figure 1 ont été représentés quelques éléments périphériques au dispositif de l'invention et qui n'apparaissent pas sur d'autres représentations. Ils seront décrits ci-après succinctement.In Figure 1 are shown some peripheral elements to the device of the invention and which do not appear in other representations. They will be described below succinctly.
L'alimentation du dispositif (1) se fait au moyen des sachets souples déjà remplis de liquide à conditionner et munis d'un opercule de bouchage-rebouchage tel que décrit par exemple dans la demande de brevet en France 256632 au nom de la demanderesse. Il s'agit en quelque sorte de "coussins" de liquide.The device (1) is supplied by flexible bags already filled with liquid to be packaged and provided with a stopper-stopper seal as described for example in patent application in France 256632 in the name of the applicant. These are sort of "pillows" of liquid.
Ceux-ci sont amenés sur la goulotte (8) et guidés, donc orientés, par leur bouchon qui est assujetti à se déplacer dans la lumière de guidage (16) amenant ainsi lesdits coussins en une position précise prédeterminée entre les mâchoires du dispositif (1), qui seront explicités ultérieurement.These are brought to the chute (8) and guided, therefore oriented, by their stopper which is subject to move in the guide lumen (16) thus bringing said cushions into a precise predetermined position. between the jaws of the device (1), which will be explained later.
Lorsqu'ils tombent sur le rail (9), les coussins affectent une forme représentée schématiquement à la figure 3B. Ainsi, les deux coins inférieurs forment des cornes débordant vers le bas, comme illustré également dans le brevet européen délivré 142456 au nom de la demanderesse. On voit également sur la figure 3B le bouchon (17) précité. On comprendra que les deux cornes supérieures, dont celle comportant le bouchon (17), forment saillie vers le haut et pour cette raison la goulotte comporte un guide (18) qui suit le coussin jusqu'à ce qu'il soit en position sur le rail et s'efface ensuite vers le haut, comme schématisé à la figure 3, pour permettre son passage et sa progression vers les autres postes.When they fall on the rail (9), the cushions assume a shape shown schematically in Figure 3B. Thus, the two lower corners form horns projecting downward, as also illustrated in the European patent issued 142456 in the name of the applicant. We also see in Figure 3B the aforementioned plug (17). It will be understood that the two upper horns, including the one comprising the plug (17), protrude upwards and for this reason the chute comprises a guide (18) which follows the cushion until it is in position on the rail and then disappears upwards, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3, to allow its passage and its progression towards the other stations.
En fin de parcours sur le rail (9), celui-ci s'arrête (voir figure 3) et libère au poste (13) le fond du sachet. Les mâchoires des pinces, qui sont fixées par le haut, laissent alors glisser le sachet qui tombe vers l'ensachage (poste de suremballage) (14) d'où il est évacué ensuite par une bande transporteuse (15).At the end of the journey on the rail (9), the latter stops (see FIG. 3) and releases the bottom of the bag at the station (13). The jaws of the clamps, which are fixed from the top, then let the sachet slide which falls towards the bagging (overpacking station) (14) from where it is then evacuated by a conveyor belt (15).
On s'efforcera maintenant de décrire le cheminement du coussin et les différentes interventions sur celui-ci entre sa sortie de la goulotte (8) et son évacuation au poste (13).We will now endeavor to describe the path of the cushion and the various interventions on it between its exit from the chute (8) and its evacuation to the station (13).
A son arrivée par la goulotte dans le dispositif de conformation proprement dit, le coussin s'intègre dans un processus déjà initialisé en amont, comme ceci va être décrit.Upon its arrival through the chute in the actual shaping device, the cushion is integrated into a process already initialized upstream, as will be described.
On se référera tout d'abord à la figure 2.We will first refer to Figure 2.
La base fonctionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention consiste en une pluralité de paires de mâchoires (19, 20) parallèles entre elles, parallèles au rail (9) et aptes à se déplacer conjointement parallèlement à celui-ci.The functional basis of the device according to the invention consists of a plurality of pairs of jaws (19, 20) parallel to each other, parallel to the rail (9) and able to move jointly parallel to the latter.
Ces mâchoires, dont chaque paire forme en quelque sorte une "pince", se déplacent de manière indexée pas à pas, ou éventuellement en continu. Chaque pince suit un cycle complet du dispositif jusqu'à l'évacuation avant que de revenir en bout de processus.These jaws, each pair of which forms a sort of "clamp", move in indexed fashion step by step, or possibly continuously. Each clamp follows a complete cycle of the device until the evacuation before returning to the end of the process.
A ce niveau, la pince se présente comme indiqué schématiquement à la figure 2.At this level, the clamp is presented as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2.
En progressant d'un pas (pour un dispositif à avancement indexé), la pince se présente au poste (21) de prise des renforts. Ce poste comporte au moins un, de préférence deux magasins (2, 22) contenant les renforts (3).By advancing one step (for an indexed advancement device), the clamp is presented at the position (21) for taking up the reinforcements. This station comprises at least one, preferably two stores (2, 22) containing the reinforcements (3).
Les renforts (3) ont plusieurs fonctions sur le sachet finalement obtenu, à savoir:
- ― éléments de rigidification verticale et de fond, comme divulgué dans la demande de brevet européen 197875 au nom de la demanderesse;
- ― éléments de préhension (poignée) comme divulgué dans le brevet européen délivré 146482 au nom de la demanderesse;

Au poste (21) de prise des renforts, le dispositif présente une rampe (23) munie sur ses deux faces et parallèlement à l'axe de défilement des pinces de ventouses (24), par exemple au nombre de trois comme représenté à la figure 6. S'il y a deux magasins (2, 22), il y aura bien entendu deux jeux opposés de ventouses. La rampe (23) supportant les ventouses forme avec une embase (25) représentée à la figure 6 un équipage (23) mobile en translation transversalement par rapport à l'axe de déplacement des pinces sur une glissière (26). Ainsi, à ce poste, l'équipage (ou rampe) (23) peut se déplacer alternativement d'un magasin à l'autre pour y prendre à chaque fois un renfort au travers des ventouses, éventuellement avec une aspiration pneumatique et l'asservissement adéquat.At the station (21) for taking up the reinforcements, the device has a ramp (23) provided on its two faces and parallel to the axis of travel of the suction cup clamps (24), for example three in number as shown in the figure 6. If there are two magazines (2, 22), there will of course be two opposite sets of suction cups. The ramp (23) supporting the suction cups forms with a base (25) shown in Figure 6 a unit (23) movable in translation transversely relative to the axis of movement of the clamps on a slide (26). Thus, at this position, the crew (or ramp) (23) can move alternately from one store to another to take reinforcement there each time through the suction cups, possibly with pneumatic suction and servo-control adequate.
La structure des magasins (2, 22) est illustrée à la figure 6. Ils comportent une carcasse (27) de contention des renforts qui y sont guidés par un guide élastique (28) jusqu'à la sortie de magasin, de manière en elle-même connue. Un ressort, non représenté, sollicite les renforts vers la sortie frontale du magasin A ce niveau, les renforts sont maintenus temporairement, jusqu'à leur prise par les ventouses, par des linguets élastiques (29) solidaires par exemple de la carcasse (27).The structure of the magazines (2, 22) is illustrated in FIG. 6. They comprise a carcass (27) for restraining the reinforcements which are guided therein by an elastic guide (28) up to the magazine exit, so - even known. A spring, not shown, biases the reinforcements towards the front outlet of the store. At this level, the reinforcements are temporarily maintained, until they are taken up by the suction cups, by elastic latches (29) integral for example with the carcass (27) .
Comme il ressort de la figure 2, on constatera que les mâchoires de la pince qui est au poste de prise des renforts sont disposées entre les extrémités frontales des magasins (2, 22) et les ventouses (24). La prise des renforts doit donc se faire au travers des mâchoires (19, 20) qui sont ajourées, comme représenté à la figure 4A, d'autant d'orifices (30) qu'il y a de ventouses au niveau de la mâchoire.As can be seen in FIG. 2, it will be seen that the jaws of the clamp which is at the position for taking up the reinforcements are arranged between the front ends of the magazines (2, 22) and the suction cups (24). The reinforcements must therefore be taken through the jaws (19, 20) which are perforated, as shown in FIG. 4A, as many orifices (30) as there are suction cups at the level of the jaw.
Puis les ventouses reviennent en position de repos et les renforts sont maintenus sur chaque mâchoire respective au moyen de petits ergots derrière lesquels ils viennent s'encliqueter. Puis la pince, dont chaque mâchoire supporte maintenant un renfort, se déplace d' un pas vers le poste suivant qui est celui de la formation du manchon.Then the suction cups return to the rest position and the reinforcements are held on each respective jaw by means of small lugs behind which they snap into place. Then the clamp, each jaw of which now supports a reinforcement, moves one step towards the next station which is that of the formation of the sleeve.
Ce poste, référencé généralement (6) aux figures 2 et 5, va être décrit maintenant en détail.This item, generally referenced (6) in Figures 2 and 5, will now be described in detail.
Il comporte une bobine d'alimentation (4) en film (5) qui passe entre deux systèmes de rouleaux d'avance (31, 32) en eux-mêmes classiques. La bobine d'alimentation et les rouleaux d'avance (dévidoir) sont à axe vertical. Ils préparent la longueur voulue de film pour que celui-ci puisse envelopper totalement l'ensemble formé par la pince et les deux renforts sans que le film ne soit étiré.It comprises a film supply reel (4) (5) which passes between two systems of advance rollers (31, 32) in themselves conventional. The feed reel and the feed rollers (reel) are vertical. They prepare the desired length of film so that it can completely envelop the assembly formed by the clamp and the two reinforcements without the film being stretched.
Dans la pratique, la pince venant du poste (21) rencontre un film tendu entre les rouleaux (32) et (31) sur lesquels à déjà été dévidée la quantité adéquate de film, qui y est maintenu par des sabots de frein (33, 34). On relâche à ce moment des freins (35, 36) disposés symétriquement par rapport aux précédents, de l'autre côté par rapport aux rouleaux (31, 32).In practice, the clamp coming from the station (21) encounters a film stretched between the rollers (32) and (31) on which the adequate quantity of film has already been unwound, which is held there by brake shoes (33, 34). Brakes (35, 36) are released at this time, arranged symmetrically with respect to the preceding ones, on the other side with respect to the rollers (31, 32).
De tels systèmes de dévidoir, éventuellement plus perfectionnés, sont en eux-mêmes connus et ne seront donc pas décrits plus en détails. Le déplacement des rouleaux (31, 32) est par exemple assuré par des vérins (37) et des ressorts de rappel (38) comme schématisé à la figure 5.Such reel systems, possibly more sophisticated, are in themselves known and will therefore not be described in more detail. The movement of the rollers (31, 32) is for example ensured by jacks (37) and return springs (38) as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5.
A ce poste, le film est déroulé d'une longueur prédéterminée et enveloppe l'ensemble formé par la pince et les renforts qu'elle porte.At this station, the film is unwound with a predetermined length and envelops the assembly formed by the clamp and the reinforcements which it carries.
Le film est alors soudé et découpé pour former un manchon. Cette opération est réalisée comme suit.The film is then welded and cut to form a sleeve. This operation is carried out as follows.
Lorsque la pince a entrainé avec elle la portion du film l'enveloppant sur trois faces, comme représenté à la figure 5, une pince de soudure à deux barres (39, 40) se referme pour former le manchon autour de la pince.When the clamp has brought with it the portion of the film enveloping it on three faces, as shown in FIG. 5, a welding clamp with two bars (39, 40) closes to form the sleeve around the clamp.
Les barres (39, 40) de la pince de soudure ont un déplacement assymétrique. En effet, il a été constaté que lors de l'étirage ultérieur du manchon (voir infra), l'étirage était faible au niveau des renforts et maximum dans la zone du sachet ne comportant pas lesdits renforts, c'est-à-dire entre les pinces. Pour éviter donc d'avoir des lignes de soudure verticales sur cette zone libre, ce qui est préjudiciable d'un point de vue esthétique car en sortie du dispositif ces zones correspondent aux faces transparentes du sachet, on effectue la soudure sur l'arête d'un renfort, de préférence le renfort avant, c'est-à-dire côté bouchon.The bars (39, 40) of the welding tongs have an asymmetrical displacement. Indeed, it has been observed that during the subsequent stretching of the sleeve (see below), the stretching was weak at the level of the reinforcements and maximum in the zone of the bag not comprising said reinforcements, that is to say between the clamps. So to avoid having vertical weld lines on this free zone, which is detrimental from an aesthetic point of view because at the output of the device these zones correspond to the transparent faces of the bag, the weld is carried out on the edge d 'a reinforcement, preferably the front reinforcement, that is to say on the plug side.
Pour parvenir à ce résultat, l'une des barres sera quasiment fixe et la seconde, par exemple la barre (40) entrainera avec elle une longueur de film; la soudure-découpe sera effectuée au niveau de l' arête (41).To achieve this result, one of the bars will be almost fixed and the second, for example the bar (40) will carry with it a length of film; the welding-cutting will be carried out at the edge (41).
Pour le sachet suivant, les déplacements des rouleaux sont déterminés de manière telle que la soudure correspondante sur le film (5) se trouvera ensuite sur l'autre arête (42) du sachet et ainsi de suite.For the next bag, the movements of the rollers are determined so that the corresponding weld on the film (5) will then be on the other edge (42) of the bag and so on.
En sortie de ce poste de soudure-découpe, on a donc un ensemble constitué de deux mâchoires, sur la face extérieure desquelles est disposé un renfort, l'ensemble étant enveloppé d'un manchon non étiré. Pour éviter que celui-ci ne glisse, il pourra par exemple être maintenu en position par des courroies défilant parallèlement au rail.At the exit from this welding-cutting station, there is therefore an assembly consisting of two jaws, on the outer face of which a reinforcement is arranged, the assembly being wrapped in an unstretched sleeve. To prevent it from slipping, it can for example be held in position by belts running parallel to the rail.
Puis entre le poste (6) et le poste de réception des coussins provenant de la goulotte, les mâchoires de la pince sont écartées en direction perpendiculaire par rapport au rail, l'écartement entre les deux mâchoires étant réglé en fonction de la valeur d'étirement recherchée et admissible pour le film sans le déchirer, sans rupture au niveau des lignes de soudure et sans allongement rémanent.Then between the station (6) and the station for receiving the cushions from the chute, the jaws of the clamp are spread in a direction perpendicular to the rail, the spacing between the two jaws being adjusted according to the value of desired and admissible stretching for the film without tearing it, without breaking at the weld lines and without residual elongation.
On a déjà explicité précédemment le fonctionnement du poste de réception des coussins entre les mâchoires via la goulotte (8).The operation of the cushion receiving station between the jaws has already been explained above via the chute (8).
Le coussin affecte à ce stade la configuration de la figure 3B, à gauche sur la figure, les deux cornes inférieures (43) affectant ladite configuration, c'est-à-dire débordant vers le bas par rapport au rail.The cushion affects at this stage the configuration of FIG. 3B, on the left in the figure, the two lower horns (43) affecting said configuration, that is to say projecting downward relative to the rail.
Le liquide contenu dans les cornes (43) est chassé de celles-ci par une paire de mâchoires de pressage et soudure (44, 45) dont la structure fait l'objet d'une autre demande de brevet déposée le même jour par la demanderesse. La soudure et le pressage s'opèrent en tout état de cause au travers de l'aile (46) du contrefort qui déborde également vers le bas ledit contrefort étant en carton enduit à cet endroit de polyéthylène sur sa face interne pour la soudure.The liquid contained in the horns (43) is driven therefrom by a pair of pressing and welding jaws (44, 45), the structure of which is the subject of another patent application filed on the same day by the applicant. . Welding and pressing are carried out in any event through the fender flange (46) which also extends downwards, said filler being made of cardboard coated at this point with polyethylene on its internal face for welding.
Sur la partie à droite de la figure 3B on a représenté la position finale des mâchoires (44, 45), le liquide étant totalement expulsé des cornes et celles-ci étant maintenant soudées.On the right side of FIG. 3B, the final position of the jaws (44, 45) is shown, the liquid being completely expelled from the horns and the latter being now welded.
Conjointement, une pince (47) de même type que les précédentes expulse le liquide contenu dans la corne supérieure (48) opposée au bouchon. Une soudure est réalisée en même temps, de préférence sans découpe.At the same time, a clamp (47) of the same type as the previous ones expels the liquid contained in the upper horn (48) opposite the stopper. A weld is made at the same time, preferably without cutting.
Puis on encolle l'une des ailes (49) par une buse d'encollage (50) comme illustré à la figure 3C. Au poste (12) suivant, les deux ailes sont repliées l'une contre l'autre et donc collées entre elles au moyen de deux paires de pistons (51) disposés de chaque côté du rail et munis de dents s'imbriquant les unes dans les autres. On réalise ainsi un pressage des deux ailes et un collage de celles-ci entre elles.Then one of the wings is glued (49) by a gluing nozzle (50) as illustrated in FIG. 3C. At the next post (12), the two wings are folded one against the other and therefore glued together by means of two pairs of pistons (51) arranged on each side of the rail and provided with teeth interlocking in others. This produces a pressing of the two wings and a bonding thereof between them.
A ce même poste, un coin (52) vient insérer mécaniquement la corne soudée (48) entre le corps du sachet et le contrefort arrière.At this same station, a corner (52) mechanically inserts the welded horn (48) between the body of the bag and the rear buttress.
Puis au poste suivant, le rail s'arrête et le sachet tombe vers les postes d'ensachage et de suremballage comme décrit précédemment, après rapprochement des mâchoires et rétraction du manchon.Then at the next station, the rail stops and the bag falls towards the bagging and overwrapping stations as described above, after bringing the jaws together and retracting the sleeve.
Les pinces reviennent alors au point de départ du dispositif et le processus est repris.The clamps then return to the starting point of the device and the process is resumed.
A cet égard, on se référera aux figures 4 et 4A où est représentée une mâchoire de pince.In this regard, reference is made to FIGS. 4 and 4A where a clamp jaw is shown.
Les mâchoires sont fixées par le haut et sont assujetties à se déplacer par des galets (53) dans des glissières (54) formant chemin de came. Ainsi par la seule configuration dudit chemin de came on détermine l'écartement ou le rapprochement des mâchoires des pinces.The jaws are fixed from the top and are subject to movement by rollers (53) in slides (54) forming a cam path. Thus, by the sole configuration of said cam path, the spacing or approximation of the jaws of the clamps is determined.
On a représenté à la figure 7 un sachet obtenu conformément à l'invention.FIG. 7 shows a sachet obtained in accordance with the invention.
Il se présente sous la forme d'un corps souple et généralement transparent (55) enserré par des renforts latéraux (56, 57) réunis à la base pour former un fond (58). L'ensemble est maintenu par un manchon (59).It is in the form of a flexible and generally transparent body (55) enclosed by lateral reinforcements (56, 57) joined at the base to form a bottom (58). The assembly is held by a sleeve (59).
Le sachet de l'invention peut être commercialisé sous forme unitaire ou en conditionnement multiple.The sachet of the invention can be sold in unit form or in multiple packaging.
Il est plus particulièrement destiné au conditionnement de produits liquides alimentaires tels que eaux minérales, eaux de source, eaux de table, boissons de fruits et aux fruits, boissons lactées, lait, etc...It is more particularly intended for the packaging of liquid food products such as mineral water, spring water, table water, fruit and fruit drinks, milk drinks, milk, etc.
