Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adhesive arrangement Supply paper roll for interconnected Paper web rolls according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • EP 04 18 527 A2 describes a method for Preparing a roll of web-shaped printing material for automatic reel changer known with which a Adhesive tape for attaching the beginning of the roll Printing material web on the outer printing material web layer used in three over its entire length Zones is divided.
  • the outer zones are included Apply adhesive and the middle zone is perforated and free of adhesives.
  • the adhesive strip used in this process has a high load on the cylinders when they pass through rotary printing machines due to the application of adhesive on both sides, in addition to the printing material webs to be connected. This can lead to permanent deformations in the printing blanket, which leads to premature wear. Further sequelae are that when the material web is further processed by longitudinal cutting devices or folding devices, the knives in the long run show greater signs of wear when cutting such multi-layered connecting elements. Finally, it is also disadvantageous that the three-zone adhesive strip known by the above-mentioned method has a different, ie asymmetrical, thickness, so that this three-zone adhesive strip cannot be rolled up symmetrically. This is both disadvantageous for warehousing and disadvantageous for an automated feed for preparing the adhesive for the material webs.
  • tumbler labels are also known, which are attached individually and usually at right angles to the beginning of the first layer of the paper web and define this first layer on the second layer of the paper web.
  • a disadvantage of these tumbler labels is that they have to be applied individually and thus time-consuming to the beginning of the paper web and, in addition, an additional adhesive strip has to be applied to the stock paper web roll for connecting the stock paper web roll to the running paper web roll.
  • US 21 49 833 A discloses an adhesive arrangement a supply roll in which a double-sided Tape the beginning of the web with the second layer the supply role connects.
  • EP 04 84 323 A2 describes a method for Production of tape rolls in which an adhesive strip through holes one end of a track on a roll core sticks.
  • EP 03 95 024 A2 shows a narrow supply roll, at which the start through a single hole on the second Position of the role is fixed. A connection of two tracks is not scheduled.
  • the invention has for its object a Label-free adhesive arrangement for preparation a new stock paper roll for joining with a paper web roll coming to an end in one To create role changers, which with a good Easy to machine both in the reel changer on site as well as in an automatic station for Manufacture of adhesive tips can be made.
  • the adhesive force of the beginning of the first layer of the paper web on the second layer of the paper web is such that when the paper web roll is turned in the start-up phase alone the air resistance forces cannot automatically cause the beginning of the stock paper web roll to open.
  • the adhesive strip used can be rolled up easily due to its uniform cross-section.
  • a paper web roll as a stock paper web roll for Connect to an almost expired paper web roll points in the vicinity of their beginning of the web 2 outermost or first layer 3 of the paper web one Variety of openings or holes 4 on the parallel to the beginning of the paper web 2, z. B. parallel to The axis of the stock paper web roll runs, however the Do not touch the beginning of the paper web 2 (Fig. 1).
  • This Holes 4 are preferably circular in cross section educated; however, you can also use an oval, rectangular, triangular or a cross section of a have any geometric shape.
  • first layer 3 holes in the paper web 4 becomes a double-sided adhesive strip 6 applied, which with its side line 7 parallel to the beginning of the paper web 2 of the first layer 3 of the paper web runs and its adhesive through the in the first Layer 3 of the paper web holes 4 occurs and thus the beginning of the first layer 3 of the paper web on a second layer 8 of the paper web.
  • the Holes 4 can either completely or only partially covered with the adhesive strip 6 his.
  • the diameter of each hole 4 can be three to five millimeters.
  • the decency a the holes 4 in the axis-parallel direction can between 50 and 100 millimeters. You can also two rows of holes parallel to each other in axially parallel Direction.
  • the adhesive strip 6 has one Width b, which is between 12 and 50 millimeters can lie.
  • the holes 4 are in one area near the beginning of the web first layer 3 of the paper web, so that between the next to holes 4 and the Paper web start 2 of the first layer 3 a small distance e is located. This distance e is at least that 0.2 times a diameter d of a hole 4.
  • the side line 7 of the Adhesive strip 6 either congruent to Beginning of paper web 2 of first layer 3 of paper web, or the beginning of the paper web 2 and the side line 7 run parallel to each other at a distance. In the latter case, however, is the side line 7 of the adhesive strip 6 on the beginning 9 of the first Layer 3 of the paper web and not on the second layer 8 the paper web.
  • an adjustable to the paper web Roller or a guide roller present in the paper path be arranged which from the outside of the wrapped around the paper web roll is so that those adhering to the paper web are hole-shaped arranged adhesive residues are deactivated, e.g. B. by means of silicone, powder or the like.
  • Known Means e.g. B.
  • a Stock paper roll at the beginning of the paper web 2 the outermost or first layer 3 of the paper web a plurality of recesses or holes 12, which parallel to the beginning of the paper web 2 and z. B. parallel to the axis of the paper web roll (Fig. 4) run and the beginning of the paper web 2 of the first layer 3 touch the paper web.
  • These holes are 12 preferably triangular in cross section, so that their baselines 10 are congruent with the Paper web start 2 of the first layer 3 of the paper web run and their heights are perpendicular to Paper web start 2 of the first layer 3 of the paper web extend.
  • each triangular Recess or each triangular hole 12 on the Paper web start 2 of the first layer 3 of the paper web is indicated by points 13; 14 limited and the height h is on the one hand from the baseline 10 and on the other hand, from an intersection 16 of the two of points 13; 14 outgoing straight lines 17; 18 limited.
  • these holes 12 can also be part of a round, oval or any other geometrical Have shape.
  • the holes 12 can also be one have circular section-shaped cross section, the Secant runs on the beginning of the paper web 2 and the Baseline 10 corresponds. It is important that this geometric shape at the beginning of the paper web 2 of the first layer 3 the paper web has connection, d. H.
  • the side line 7 of the adhesive strip 6 either congruent to Paper web start 2 of the first layer 3 of the paper web or the beginning of the paper web 2 and the side line 7 run parallel to each other in a strip-shaped Distance f.
  • the width of the strip-shaped distance f can e.g. B. equal to the height h of the hole 12 or one Part of this height h so that the holes 12th completely or partially covered by the adhesive strip 6 be and thus analogous to the first embodiment the adhesive strength of the adhesive points is adjustable.
  • a distance a of the holes 12 and one Width b of the adhesive strip is the same dimensioned as set out in the first embodiment.
