Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Sicherungselementen für die elektronische Artikelsicherung, wobei die Sicherungelemente aus zumindest zwei Lagen bestehen, sowie ein entsprechendes Bandmaterial.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for Manufacture of security elements for electronic Article security, the security elements from at least there are two layers, as well as a corresponding tape material.

In zunehmendem Maße werden die Waren in Kaufhäusern und Lagern elektronisch gegen Diebstahl gesichert. Eine Möglichkeit der elektronischen Diebstahlsicherung besteht darin, an den Waren Streifenelemente, also längliche, weichmagnetische Metallstücke (z.V. VITROVAC der Firma Vacuumschmelze), anzubringen. Diese Streifenelemente lösen in entsprechenden Überwachungssystemen, die üblicherweise im Ausgangsbereich der gesicherten Einrichtung angeordnet sind, einen Alarm aus.Increasingly, the goods are in department stores and Storage electronically secured against theft. A There is the possibility of electronic theft protection in that strip elements on the goods, i.e. elongated, soft magnetic metal pieces (e.g. VITROVAC from the company Vacuum melt). These strip elements solve in corresponding surveillance systems, usually in Output area of the secured device are arranged, an alarm.

Grob läßt sich die elektronische Artikelsicherung folgendermaßen beschreiben: Ein Überwachungssystem weist eine Sende- und eine Empfangsvorrichtung auf. Die Sendevorrichtung sendet ein Abfragesignal in eine Überwachungszone aus. Durch dieses Abfragesignal wird das Streifenelement zur Aussendung eines Antwortsignals angeregt, das von der Empfangsvorrichtung detektiert und identifiziert wird. Das Auftreten eines Antwortsignals wird mit dem unerlaubten Passieren eines elektronisch gesicherten Artikels durch die Abfragezone gleichgesetzt, und der Alarm wird ausgelöst. Ein Beispiel für ein entsprechendes Überwachungssystem ist in der EP 0 153 286 A1 beschrieben.Electronic article surveillance can be rough Describe as follows: A surveillance system has one Sending and receiving device. The transmitter sends a query signal to a surveillance zone. By this interrogation signal becomes the strip element for transmission a response signal excited by the Receiving device is detected and identified. The Occurrence of a response signal is with the illegal Passing an electronically secured article through the Query zone equated and the alarm is triggered. On An example of a corresponding monitoring system is in the EP 0 153 286 A1.

Neben den streifenförmigen Sicherungselementen für die sog. elektromagnetische Artikelsicherung kommen auch Resonanzsicherungelemente zum Einsatz. Diese Resonanzsicherungselemente bestehen aus einem Schwingkreis mit kapazitiven und induktiven Elementen. Sobald ein derartiger Schwingkreis innerhalb einer Abfragezone einem entsprechenden elektromagnetischen Feld ausgesetzt wird, sendet er ein Antwortsignal mit seiner Resonanzfrequenz aus.In addition to the strip-shaped securing elements for the so-called Electromagnetic article security also come with resonance security elements for use. These resonance assurance elements consist of a resonant circuit with capacitive and inductive elements. As soon as such a resonant circuit a corresponding one within a query zone electromagnetic field is exposed, it sends a Response signal with its resonance frequency.

Aus der EP 0 682 333 ist femer ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Sicherheitsetikettenstreifens bekannt, bei dem eine Deckschicht und elektromagnetisch aktive bzw. aktivierbare Sicherungselemente zusammengefügt werden. Dabei werden die Sicherungselemente auf ein Sicherungselementeträgerband aufgeklebt und die Sicherungselemente an einer Spendkante vom Sicherungselementeträgerband getrennt, wobei die Sicherungselemente mit der Deckschicht zusammenlaminiert werden.EP 0 682 333 also describes a method for producing a security label strip known in which a cover layer and electromagnetically active or activatable Fuse elements are put together. The securing elements are on a securing element carrier tape glued on and the securing elements on a dispensing edge separated from the fuse element carrier tape, the fuse elements with the Top layer are laminated together.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein kostengünstiges, einfaches Verfahren, eine entsprechende Vorrichtung und ein mittels des Verfahrens hergestelltes Bandmaterial für die elektronische Artikelsicherung vorzuschlagen.The invention is based on the object inexpensive, simple process, a corresponding Device and a manufactured by the method Tape material for electronic article surveillance propose.

Bezüglich des Verfahrens wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß auf eine erste kontinuierliche Materialbahn Abschnitte einer vorgegebenen Länge einer zweiten Materialbahn quer zur Laufrichtung der ersten Materialbahn zugeführt und aufgebracht werden. Nachfolgend sei ein Anwendungsbeispiel für derartig gefertigte Bandmaterialien genannt. Die zuvor erwähnten Streifenelemente für die elektronische Artikelsicherung haben eine Länge von einigen Zentimetern (z.B. 3 cm). Üblicherweise werden Etiketten, die jeweils ein Streifenelement enthalten, in Form einer Etikettenrolle bereitgestellt und mittels entsprechender Ausgabegeräte gespendet. Werden die einige Zentimeter langen Streifenelemente -wie üblich- in Längsrichtung zu einer Etikettenrolle aufgewickelt, so enthält eine Etikettenrolle nur relativ wenig Etiketten. Ganz anders sieht die Sache aus, wenn die Streifenelemente quer zur Ausgaberichtung gespendet werden. Die Anzahl der Streifenelemente pro Etikettenrolle läßt sich dann erheblich erhöhen.With regard to the method, the object is achieved in that on a first continuous web of material predetermined length of a second web of material transverse to Direction of the first web of material fed and be applied. Below is an application example for such manufactured tape materials. The aforementioned strip elements for the electronic Article security has a length of a few centimeters (e.g. 3 cm). Usually labels are one each Strip element included, in the form of a label roll provided and by means of appropriate output devices donated. They will be a few centimeters long Strip elements - as usual - in the longitudinal direction to one Rolled up label roll contains a label roll relatively few labels. Things look very different, if the strip elements are donated transversely to the dispensing direction become. The number of strip elements per label roll can then be increased significantly.

Besondere Vorteile bringt die Queranordnung der Streifenelemente dann, wenn man berücksichtigt, wie ihre Fertigung normalerweise vor sich geht: ein relativ breiter weichmagnetischer Endlosstreifen wird gefertigt; dieser Endlosstreifen wird nachfolgend in mehrere nebeneinander liegende weichmagnetische Endlosstreifen aufgesplittet. Damit wird es problemlos möglich, daß ein von der Seite her auf die erste Materialbahn aufgebrachtes Etikett bereits mehrere parallel verlaufende Streifenelemente enthält. Hierdurch lassen sich die Herstellungskosten für Etikettenrollen von Streifenelementen noch einmal erheblich reduzieren.The transverse arrangement of the Strip elements if you take into account how theirs Manufacturing normally goes on: a relatively broad one soft magnetic endless strip is manufactured; this Continuous strips are subsequently divided into several side by side split soft magnetic endless strips split. In order to it is easily possible that one from the side on the first label already applied several labels contains parallel strip elements. hereby can the manufacturing costs for label rolls of Significantly reduce strip elements again.

Gemäß einem weiteren Anwendungsbeispiel werden auf einen Endlosstreifen aus Dünnfilm-Material (derartige Materialien werden in der EP 0 295 028 ausführlich beschrieben) Abschnitte eines Dünnfilm-Materials aufgebracht. Fertigungsbedingt weisen Dünnfilm-Materialien eine Vorzugsrichtung auf, d.h. das Antwortsignal ist maximal,- wenn das Abfragefeld parallel zu dieser Vorzugsrichtung ausgerichtet ist, während es bei zur Vorzugsrichtung senkrechtem Einfall Null ist. Ordnet man nun zwei Lagen von Dünnfilm-Materialien senkrecht zueinander an, wird das entsprechende Sicherungselement in der Abfragezone stets zur Aussendung eines Antwortsignals angeregt.According to a further application example, a Endless strips of thin film material (such materials are described in detail in EP 0 295 028) Sections of a thin film material applied. Due to manufacturing, thin-film materials have a Preferred direction, i.e. the response signal is maximum, if the query field parallel to this preferred direction while it is aligned with the preferred direction vertical incidence is zero. If you now arrange two layers of Thin film materials perpendicular to each other, that is corresponding security element in the query zone always Transmission of a response signal stimulated.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung das Aufbringen der Abschnitte der vorgegebenen Länge der zweiten Materialbahn auf die erste Materialbahn schrittweise oder kontinuierlich erfolgen kann. Vorteil des kontinuierlichen Verfahrens ist natürlich die höhere Fertigungsge-schwindigkeit.The inventive method is characterized in that according to an advantageous development, the application of Sections of the predetermined length of the second material web onto the first material web step by step or continuously can be done. The advantage of the continuous process is of course the higher production speed.

Die Aufgabe wird hinsichtlich der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung dadurch gelöst, daß eine Führungsvorrichtung für eine erste Materialbahn vorgesehen ist, daß zumindest eine Spendevorrichtung vorgesehen ist, die senkrecht zu der Führungsvorrichtung angeordnet ist und über die die Abschnitte einer vorgegebenen Länge-einer zweiten Materialbahn zugeführt werden, und daß eine Fördervorrichtung vorgesehen ist, die sukzessive die Abschnitte der vorgegebenen Länge der zweiten Materialbahn von der Spendevorrichtung abnimmt und unmittelbar nebeneinander oder auf Lücke an der ersten Materialbahn festmacht.The task is carried out with regard to the invention Device solved in that a guide device for a first material web is provided that at least one Dispensing device is provided which is perpendicular to the Guide device is arranged and via which Sections of a predetermined length - a second material web are fed, and that a conveyor is provided, which successively the sections of the predetermined length of the second material web from the Dispensing device decreases and immediately next to each other or on the first material web.

Während bei nur einer Spendevorrichtung das Aufbringen der Abschnitte auf die erste Materialbahn schrittweise erfolgt, ist ab zwei Spendevorrichtungen ein kontinuierliches Arbeiten der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung möglich. Hierzu ist es lediglich erforderlich, daß die n Spendevor-richtungen einen bestimmten Abstand voneinander haben und daß die Abschnitte mit einer auf die Laufgeschwindigkeit der ersten Materialbahn abgestimmten Geschwindigkeit zugeführt werden. Die Geschwindigkeit, mit der die Abschnitte zugeführt werden, muß zumindest so bemessen sein, daß ein Abschnitt bereits in der seitlichen Endposition bezüglich der ersten Materialbahn ist, wenn die Andrückwalze herabbewegt wird, um den Abschnitt an der ersten Materialbahn in der gewünschten Längsposition zu befestigen.While applying only one dispenser Sections on the first material web is done step by step, is continuous work from two dispensing devices the device according to the invention possible. This is it it is only necessary that the n dispensing devices unite have a certain distance from each other and that the sections with one on the running speed of the first material web adjusted speed can be fed. The Speed at which the sections are fed be dimensioned at least so that a section is already in the lateral end position with respect to the first material web, when the pressure roller is moved down to the section the first material web in the desired longitudinal position Fasten.

Zwecks Aufbringung der Abschnitte auf die erste Materialbahn ist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung eine Andrückwalze quer zur Laufrichtung der ersten Materialbahn vorgesehen, die auf- und abbewegbar ausgebildet ist und den Abschnitt der vorgegebenen Länge der zweiten Materialbahn an die erste Materialbahn andrückt, sobald der Abschnitt die vorgegebenen Längsposition bezüglich der ersten Materialbahn erreicht hat. Die Andrückwalze bleibt solange an die erste Materialbahn angestellt, bis der an der ersten Materialbahn haftende Abschnitt unter ihr hindurchbewegt worden ist. For the purpose of applying the sections to the first material web According to an advantageous further development Device according to the invention a pressure roller transverse to Direction of travel of the first web of material provided, the up and is designed to be movable and the section of the predetermined Length of the second material web to the first material web presses as soon as the section reaches the specified longitudinal position regarding the first material web. The The pressure roller remains on the first material web employed until the one adhering to the first material web Section has been moved under it.

Damit die Andrückwalze die Information darüber hat, wann sie auf der ersten Materialbahn aufsetzen soll, schlägt eine günstige Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung einen Anschlag oder einen Sensor zur Erkennung der korrekten seitlichen Ausrichtung (bezüglich der ersten Materialbahn) der Abschnitte der zweiten Materialbahn vor. Der Anschlag oder Sensor ist mit einer Steuervorrichtung verbunden ist, wobei die Steuervorrichtung die Andrückwalze gegen die erste Materialbahn bewegt, sobald der Anschlag oder der Sensor meldet, daß der Abschnitt der vorgegebenen Länge der zweiten Materialbahn die vorbestimmte Position bezüglich der ersten Materialbahn erreicht hat.So that the pressure roller has information about when it is one should touch down on the first material web favorable embodiment of the device according to the invention a stop or a sensor to detect the correct one lateral alignment (with respect to the first material web) of the sections of the second material web. The attack or sensor is connected to a control device, the control device pressing the pressure roller against the first Material web moves as soon as the stop or the sensor reports that the section of the specified length of the second Material web the predetermined position with respect to the first Material web has reached.

Um das Erreichen der richtigen Längsposition (bezüglich der ersten Materialbahn) erkennen zu können, ist die Steuervorrichtung z.B. mit einem weiteren Sensor verbunden, der Registermarkierungen auf der ersten Materialbahn erkennt. Möglich ist es in diesem Zusammenhang auch, die Zufuhr der Abschnitte mit der Laufgeschwindigkeit der ersten Materialbahn so zu synchronisieren, daß die Abschnitte - automatisch stets an der gewünschten Position auf die erste Materialbahn aufgebracht werden.To achieve the correct longitudinal position (with respect to the first material web) is the Control device e.g. connected to another sensor, recognizes the register markings on the first material web. In this context it is also possible to supply the Sections with the running speed of the first Material web to synchronize so that the sections - automatically always at the desired position on the first Material web are applied.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsemäßen Vorrichtung sind n Spendevorrichtungen vorgesehen, die im Abstand (2n+1)*(b + z) angeordnet sind, wobei b die Breite der Abschnitte der zweiten Materialbahn und z den gewünschten Abstand zwischen zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Abschnitten der zweiten Materialbahn beschreibt. Diese Ausführungsform erlaubt es, daß die n Spendevorrichtungen parallel zueinander, d.h. ohne zeitlichen Versatz, arbeiten können. Hierdurch wird der Steueraufwand natürlich erheblich herabgesetzt.According to an advantageous development of the invention Device n dispensing devices are provided, which in the Distance (2n + 1) * (b + z) are arranged, where b is the width the sections of the second material web and z the desired Distance between two successive sections of the describes the second material web. This embodiment allows the n dispensers to be in parallel to each other, i.e. can work without any time lag. This of course makes the tax expense significant reduced.

Die Vorteile der Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung, die Laufgeschwindigkeit der ersten Materialbahn derart zu bemessen, daß die Abschnitte der vorgegebenen Länge der zweiten Materialbahn in einem kontinuierlichen Prozeß auf die erste Materialbahn aufgebracht werden, wurden bereits an vorhergehender Stelle erwähnt.The advantages of the further development of the invention Device, the running speed of the first web of material to be dimensioned such that the sections of the predetermined length the second material web in a continuous process The first web of material to be applied has already been applied previously mentioned.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der erfindungsemäßen Vorrichtung sieht vor, daß es sich bei der Fördervorrichtung um ein Förderband handelt, bezüglich dessen eine Vakuumquelle derart angeordnet ist, daß die einzelnen Abschnitte der vorgegebenen Länge der zweiten Materialbahn im gewünschten Abstand voneinander auf dem Förderband fixiert werden. Besonders günstig ist es in diesem Zusammenhang, wenn das Förderband Luftlöcher aufweist.
Eine alternative Lösung schlägt vor, daß es sich bei der Fördervorrichtung um ein Förderband handelt, bezüglich dessen zumindest ein Magnet derart angeordnet ist, daß die einzelnen Abschnitte der vorgegebenen Länge der zweiten Materialbahn im gewünschten Abstand voneinander auf dem Förderband fixiert werden. Letzeres ist dank der magnetischen Eigenschaften der für die elektronische Artikelsicherung verwendeten Materialien möglich.An advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention provides that the conveyor device is a conveyor belt, with respect to which a vacuum source is arranged such that the individual sections of the predetermined length of the second material web are fixed on the conveyor belt at the desired distance from one another. In this context, it is particularly favorable if the conveyor belt has air holes.
An alternative solution suggests that the conveyor device is a conveyor belt, with respect to which at least one magnet is arranged such that the individual sections of the predetermined length of the second material web are fixed on the conveyor belt at the desired distance from one another. The latter is possible thanks to the magnetic properties of the materials used for electronic article surveillance.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsemäßen Vorrichtung ist eine Speicherrolle vorgesehen, auf die das fertige Bandmaterial aufgewickelt wird.According to an advantageous development of the invention Device is provided a storage role on which finished strip material is wound up.

Die Aufgabe wird bezüglich des erfindungsgemäßen Bandmaterials dadurch gelöst, daß es sich bei der ersten Materialbahn um eine kontinuierliche Materialbahn handelt, auf die Abschnitte einer vorgegebenen Länge einer zweiten Materialbahn quer zur Laufrichtung der ersten Materialbahn zugeführt und aufgebracht werden.The object is related to the invention Tape material solved in that it is the first Material web is a continuous material web, to the sections of a predetermined length of a second Material web transverse to the direction of the first material web fed and applied.

    • Fig. 1 zeigt eine Seitenansicht einer Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung. Die erste Materialbahn 1 wird von der Vorratsrolle 4 abgewickelt, über die Führungsvorrichtung 2 an den Spendevorrichtungen 6 - vorbeigeführt und anschließend auf die Speicherrolle 5 aufgewickelt. An der Führungswalze 3 der Führungsvorrichtung 2 ist ein Winkelgeber 23 angeordnet, der der Steuervorrichtung 19 Information über die Laufgeschwindigkeit der ersten Materialbahn 1 liefert.Fig. 1 shows a side view of an embodiment of the device according to the invention. The first material web 1 is unwound from the supply roll 4, over the Guide device 2 on the dispensing devices 6 - passed and then onto the storage roller 5 wound. On the guide roller 3 of the guide device 2 is an angle encoder 23 which is the Control device 19 information about the running speed the first material web 1 delivers.

    Fig. 2 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die in Fig. 1 dargestellt Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung. Über die beiden Spendevorrichtungen 6 werden Abschnitte 8 der zweiten Materialbahn 7 in eine Position oberhalb der ersten Materialbahn 1 gebracht. Bei den Abschnitten 8 handelt es sich im dargestellten Fall übrigens um mehrere nebeneinander angeordnete Streifenelemente 17 pro Etikett, deren Längsrichtung quer zur Laufrichtung der ersten Materialbahn 1 orientiert ist. Bei den Abschnitten 8 handelt es sich insbesondere um Klebe-Etiketten. Fig. 2 shows a top view of that shown in Fig. 1 Embodiment of the device according to the invention. About the two dispensing devices 6 become sections 8 of the second Material web 7 in a position above the first Brought material 1. Sections 8 are concerned Incidentally, in the case shown, there are several side by side arranged strip elements 17 per label, the Longitudinal direction transverse to the running direction of the first material web 1 is oriented. Sections 8 are concerned especially about adhesive labels.

    Die Sensoren 16 liefern der Steuervorrichtung 19 ein Signal, sobald ein gespendetes Etikett (Abschnitt 8) die gewünschte seitliche Ausrichtung hinsichtlich der ersten Materialbahn 1 erreicht hat. Der Abschnitt 8 befindet sich ab diesem Zeitpunkt in einer "Bereit"-Stellung. Erhält die Steuervorrichtung 19 von dem Sensor 24 ein Signal, das anzeigt, daß eine Registermarkierung 25 - diese kennzeichnet die Lage, in der ein Abschnitt 8 auf die erste Materialbahn 1 aufgebracht werden soll - in seinem Sichtfeld aufgetaucht ist, so fährt sie die Andrückwalzen 15 samt den darunter befindlichen Abschnitte 8 gegen die erste Materialbahn 1. Die Andrückwalzen 15 verbleiben solange in dieser Position, bis der betreffende Abschnitt 8 unter der Andrückwalze 15 hindurchbewegt worden ist. Danach wird die Andrückwalze 15 von der ersten Materialbahn 1 wieder abgehoben.The sensors 16 deliver a signal to the control device 19, as soon as a donated label (section 8) the desired one lateral alignment with respect to the first material web 1 has reached. Section 8 is from this Time in a "ready" position. Receives the Control device 19 from the sensor 24 a signal that indicates that a register mark 25 - indicates this the position in which a section 8 on the first material web 1 to be applied - popped up in his field of vision is, it drives the pressure rollers 15 together with the one below located sections 8 against the first web of material 1. Die Pressure rollers 15 remain in this position until the relevant section 8 under the pressure roller 15 has been moved through. Then the pressure roller 15 lifted off the first material web 1 again.

    Arbeiten beide Andrückwalzen parallel, so ergibt sich der Abstand zwischen zwei Spendevorrichtungen 6 nach der Formel: (2n+1)*(b + z), wobei b die Breite der Abschnitte der zweiten Materialbahn 7 und z den gewünschten Abstand zwischen zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Abschnitten 8 der zweiten Materialbahn 7 beschreibt. Als Ergebnis des Fertigungsprozesses liegt das Bandmaterial 21 vor, bestehend aus einer ersten Materialbahn und quer zu ihrer Laufrichtung x aufgebrachten Abschnitten 8.If both pressure rollers work in parallel, the result is Distance between two dispensing devices 6 according to the formula: (2n + 1) * (b + z), where b is the width of the sections of the second Material web 7 and z the desired distance between two successive sections 8 of the second material web 7 describes. That is the result of the manufacturing process Tape material 21 in front, consisting of a first material web and sections 8 applied transversely to their running direction x.

    In Fig. 3 ist ein Querschnitt durch die Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung gemäß der Kennzeichnung III-III in Fig. 1 dargestellt. Das zweite Bandmaterial 7 mit den hintereinander angeordneten Abschnitten 8 wird über eine Spendkante 12 geführt. Hier werden die einzelnen Abschnitte 8 (Klebe-Etiketten) von dem Trägerband 9 abgelöst.-Das Trägerband 9 wird dann wieder auf die Speicherrolle 11 aufgewickelt.
    Die Abschnitte 8 werden mit der nicht-klebenden Seite von dem Förderband der Fördervorrichtung 13 übernommen. Infolge einer Geschwindigkeitsdifferenz zwischen der Laufge-schwindigkeit des Förderbandes der Fördervorrichtung 13 und der Zuführgeschwindigkeit der Abschnitte 8 auf das Förderband ist der Abstand zwischen zwei aufeinander-folgenden Abschnitten 8 auf dem Förderband beliebig einstellbar.    FIG. 3 shows a cross section through the embodiment of the device according to the invention according to the marking III-III in FIG. 1. The second strip material 7 with the sections 8 arranged one behind the other is guided over a dispensing edge 12. Here, the individual sections 8 (adhesive labels) are detached from the carrier tape 9. The carrier tape 9 is then rewound onto the storage roll 11.
    The sections 8 are taken over with the non-adhesive side of the conveyor belt of the conveyor device 13. As a result of a speed difference between the running speed of the conveyor belt of the conveyor device 13 and the feeding speed of the sections 8 onto the conveyor belt, the distance between two successive sections 8 on the conveyor belt can be set as desired.

    Der Sensor 16 leitet eine Meldung an die Steuervorrichtung 19 weiter, sobald die vordere Kante des Abschnittes 8 die korrekte seitliche Ausrichtung bezüglich der laufenden ersten Materialbahn 1 erreicht hat. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt befindet sich der Abschnitt 8 in "Bereit"-Stellung. Erhält die Spendevorrichtung 6 nunmehr noch die Meldung, daß auch die korrekte Längsausrichtung des Abschnitts 8 bezüglich der ersten Materialbahn 1 erreicht ist, setzt die Andrückwalze 15 auf der ersten Materialbahn 1 auf und drückt den Abschnitt 8 gegen die erste Materialbahn 1 an. Die Andrückwalze 15 wird von der ersten Materialbahn 1 abgehoben, sobald der an der laufenden ersten Materialbahn 1 haftende Abschnitt 8 unter ihr hindurch bewegt worden ist. Aufgrund dieser Beschreibung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist ersichtlich, daß diese kontinuierlich arbeiten kann, wenn zumindest-zwei Spendevorrichtungen 6 vorgesehen sind. Die Fördervorrichtung 13 ist übrigens in Fig. 4 noch einmal gesondert zu sehen.The sensor 16 sends a message to the control device 19 continue once the front edge of section 8 the correct lateral alignment with respect to the current first Material web 1 has reached. From this point onwards Section 8 is in the "Ready" position. Receives the Dispensing device 6 now still the message that the correct longitudinal alignment of section 8 with respect to the first material web 1 is reached, the pressure roller 15 on the first material web 1 and presses the section 8 against the first material web 1. The pressure roller 15 is lifted off the first material web 1 as soon as the on the running first material web 1 adhering section 8 under you have been moved through. Because of this description the device according to the invention can be seen that this can work continuously if at least-two Dispensing devices 6 are provided. The conveyor By the way, 13 can be seen again separately in FIG. 4.
