Abstract

The machine for making paper bags from a flat sleeve cut into sections, uses a roller with two projecting rods (14, 15) to fold over one open end of the sleeve to make a flap. The outer surface of the flap is then coated with adhesive before it is folded a second time and stuck down onto the sleeve in a double fold. The machine has a series of posts to feed, drive, cut and fold the sleeve, with the folding post having two identical rods (14, 15) able to pivot about an axis parallel to their lengthwise axis and spaced at a distance equivalent to the width of the folded flap.

Description

La présente invention est relative à un procédé pour réaliser des sacs en papier, ou analogue. L'invention vise, aussi, des moyens pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé.The present invention relates to a method for making paper bags, or the like. The invention also provides means for carrying out the method.

Actuellement, il existe des machines pour emballer des objets allongés, tels que des pains, permettant de réaliser des sacs à partir d'un fourreau plat. Le fourreau est convenablement tronçonné, et l'une de ses extrémités est obturée.Currently, there are machines for wrapping elongated objects, such as breads, for making bags from a flat sheath. The sheath is suitably cut and one of its ends is closed.

Pour obturer l'une des extrémités du fourreau tronçonné, on réalise, par découpage, un volet qui est encollé puis rabattu.To close one of the ends of the cut sheath, is made, by cutting, a flap which is glued and folded.

Ce procédé peut convenir, même s'il est compliqué à mettre en oeuvre, lorsque le fourreau est constitué de deux faces réunies par leurs bords, mais il ne peut plus être utilisé lorsque les deux faces sont réunies par des soufflets car dans ce cas le découpage du volet d'obturation est très difficile à réaliser.This method may be suitable, even if it is complicated to implement, when the sleeve consists of two faces joined by their edges, but it can no longer be used when the two faces are joined by bellows because in this case the Shutter shutter is very difficult to cut.

Par le document US-A-5685129, on connaît un procédé qui consiste, à l'aide d'un organe comportant deux mors, à replier une première fois l'extrémité du fourreau, à appliquer une matière adhésive, ou colle, sur la face visible de la partie rabattue et à replier une seconde fois ladite extrémité de façon à amener la face encollée sur celle supérieure dudit fourreau.US-A-5685129 discloses a method which consists of using a member having two jaws to fold the end of the sheath a first time, to apply an adhesive material, or glue, on the visible face of the folded portion and to fold a second time said end so as to bring the glued face on top of said sheath.

Ce dispositif ne donne pas entière satisfaction car, outre qu'il est relativement compliqué puisqu'il comporte des moyens pour ouvrir et pour fermer les mors, il pose des problèmes en ce qui concerne le retrait des mors après collage.This device is not entirely satisfactory because, in addition to being relatively complicated since it includes means for opening and closing the jaws, it poses problems with respect to the withdrawal of the jaws after gluing.

La machine de l'invention, qui remédie à ces inconvénients et permet de mettre en oeuvre le procédé connu par le document précité, se caractérise par les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.The machine of the invention, which overcomes these disadvantages and makes it possible to implement the method known from the aforementioned document, is characterized by the features of claim 1.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple indicatif, seulement, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un fourreau à soufflets ;
  • les figures 2 et 3 sont des vues schématiques illustrant le procédé de l'invention;
  • la figure 4 est une vue schématique d'une machine permettant la mise en oeuvre du procédé de l'invention;
  • la figure 5 est la vue de dessus, partielle, de la figure 4 ;
  • les figures 6 à 7, sont des vues, partielles et à plus grande échelle, montrant le fonctionnement de la machine de la figure 4.
The present invention will be better understood from the following description given with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of indicative example only, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a gusseted sheath;
  • Figures 2 and 3 are schematic views illustrating the method of the invention;
  • Figure 4 is a schematic view of a machine for carrying out the method of the invention;
  • Figure 5 is a partial top view of Figure 4;
  • Figures 6 to 7 are partial and enlarged views showing the operation of the machine of Figure 4.

En se reportant aux dessins, on voit que le problème à résoudre consiste à réaliser des sacs à partir d'une gaine tubulaire, ou fourreau 1.Referring to the drawings, it can be seen that the problem to be solved consists in producing bags from a tubular sheath, or sheath 1.

Ce fourreau présente deux faces 2 et 3 réunies par des soufflets 4.This sleeve has two faces 2 and 3 joined by bellows 4.

De la façon connue, le fourreau 1 est enroulé sous la forme d'une bobine, il est ensuite tronçonné, selon la longueur de l'objet à emballer et l'une de ses extrémités est obturée. C'est l'obturation de l'une des extrémités qui pose un problème.In the known manner, the sleeve 1 is wound in the form of a coil, it is then cut, according to the length of the object to be packaged and one of its ends is closed. It is the closure of one of the ends that poses a problem.

Selon l'invention, on replie l'une des extrémités du fourreau pour former un volet 5, on dépose un adhésif, ou de la colle, sur la face supérieure 5a dudit volet puis on replie une seconde fois et dans le même sens le volet pour appliquer sa face 5a contre la face supérieure 2 du fourreau 1.According to the invention, one of the ends of the sheath is folded to form a flap 5, an adhesive, or glue, is deposited on the upper face 5a of said flap and then folded a second time and in the same direction the flap to apply its face 5a against the upper face 2 of the sheath 1.

La figure 4 illustre une machine permettant la mise en oeuvre du procédé de l'invention.Figure 4 illustrates a machine for carrying out the method of the invention.

Cette machine comporte : un poste d'approvisionnement 6, un poste d'entraînement 7, un poste de tronçonnage 8, un poste de façonnage 9 et un poste d'entraînement 10.This machine comprises: a supply station 6, a driving station 7, a cutting station 8, a forming station 9 and a driving station 10.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le poste d'approvisionnement est d'un type connu et est prévu pour maintenir le fourreau 1 enroulé sous la forme d'une bobine 11.According to one embodiment, the supply station is of a known type and is designed to hold the sheath 1 wound in the form of a coil 11.

De la façon connue, le poste d'entraînement 7 est constitué, dans sa forme la plus simple, par deux cylindres presseurs 12, dont l'un, au moins, est entraîné en rotation, le fourreau 1 passant entre lesdits cylindres.In the known way, the drive station 7 is constituted, in its simplest form, by two pressure rollers 12, at least one of which is rotated, the sleeve 1 passing between said rolls.

De la façon connue, le poste 8 est pourvu d'un organe de coupe, non représenté, permettant de tronçonner le fourreau 1.In the known manner, the station 8 is provided with a cutter, not shown, for cutting the sheath 1.

Selon l'invention, le poste de façonnage comporte un organe de pliage et, au droit de cet organe, un organe 13 susceptible de réaliser l'encollage.According to the invention, the forming station comprises a folding member and, in line with this member, a member 13 capable of producing the sizing.

L'organe de pliage est constitué par deux aiguilles 14 et 15, identiques, parallèles et s'étendant transversalement à l'axe longitudinal du fourreau 1, la distance séparant les deux aiguilles étant sensiblement égale à la largeur L du volet 5 à réaliser.The folding member is constituted by two needles 14 and 15, identical, parallel and extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve 1, the distance separating the two needles being substantially equal to the width L of the flap 5 to achieve.

Ces aiguilles sont portées, par l'une de leurs extrémités par un tambour 16, rotatif, dont l'axe de rotation s'étend parallèlement aux axes desdites aiguilles.These needles are carried by one of their ends by a rotatable drum 16 whose axis of rotation extends parallel to the axes of said needles.

Le second poste d'entraînement 10 est constitué, comme le premier, au moyen de deux cylindres presseurs et entraîneurs 12.The second driving station 10 is constituted, like the first one, by means of two pressing and coaching cylinders 12.

Le fourreau 1 est engagé entre les cylindres 12, traverse l'organe 14, passe entre les aiguilles 14-15 et passe entre les cylindres 17.The sleeve 1 is engaged between the cylinders 12, passes through the member 14, passes between the needles 14-15 and passes between the cylinders 17.

Lorsque la longueur du fourreau situé en aval du poste de tronçonnage 8, par rapport au sens de progression dudit fourreau présente la longueur souhaitée, l'entraînement est interrompu et l'organe de coupe entre en jeu, la partie tronçonnée 1a se présente alors dans la position représentée sur la figure 6, l'aiguille 15 étant disposée sur le dessus.When the length of the sleeve located downstream of the cutting station 8, relative to the direction of advance of said sheath has the desired length, the drive is interrupted and the cutting member comes into play, the cut-off portion 1a is then in the position shown in Figure 6, the needle 15 being disposed on top.

A ce moment, on fait pivoter le tambour 16, selon la flèche F, de cent quatre-vingts degrés ce qui a pour effet de placer les aiguilles dans la position représentée sur la figure 7 et de former le volet 5.At this moment, the drum 16, according to the arrow F, is rotated 180 degrees, which has the effect of placing the needles in the position shown in FIG. 7 and forming the flap 5.

Une matière adhésive est alors déposée, par l'entremise de l'organe 13, sur la face 5a du volet, puis on fait pivoter le tambour, dans le même sens et d'une même valeur ce qui a pour effet de placer la face encollée 5a en regard avec la face supérieure 2 de la partie tronçonnée.An adhesive material is then deposited, through the member 13, on the face 5a of the flap, then the drum is rotated, in the same direction and of the same value which has the effect of placing the face glued 5a facing the upper face 2 of the cut portion.

A ce moment, le tambour se déplace transversalement selon la flèche T, pour permettre le dégagement des aiguilles. Aussitôt après, les organes d'entraînement sont actionnés, les aiguilles se déplacent en sens inverse et le cycle recommence pour le façonnage d'un nouveau sac.At this moment, the drum moves transversely along the arrow T, to allow the release of the needles. Immediately after, the drive members are actuated, the needles move in the opposite direction and the cycle begins again for the shaping of a new bag.

Il est à noter que le procédé d'obturation de l'invention permet, en fait, d'appliquer après pliage l'une des faces externes du fourreau contre l'autre face externe.It should be noted that the sealing method of the invention allows, in fact, to apply after folding one of the outer faces of the sleeve against the other outer face.
