Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an automatic machine and a method for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film and also a relative packaging.
- In the field of graphics, there is the tendency of presenting clients with products increasingly rich in accessories. As a result of this, editorial products, such as newspapers, magazines, or other similar items, are packaged in plastic film together with other products or gadgets, both for direct distribution and shipment to subscribers.
- In order to allow the products proposed to be visible, they are normally packaged in film bags where the most important products can be seen in the two front and rear sides of the packaging.
- Another solution, not welcomed by newsagents, is to package various products arranged on supporting boards where the products are aligned and/or superimposed for part of the cover. With this solution, in fact, the products are cumbersome and difficult to display on the stands.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide an automatic machine and a method for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film to provide a relative packaging in which the product and its contents, as also the content of editorial inserts and gadgets, are more visible.
- A further objective of the present invention is to provide an automatic machine and a method for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film, in which the relative packaging can be easily stacked.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide an automatic machine and a method for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film, which is particularly simple and functional, with reduced costs.
- These objectives according to the present invention are achieved by providing an automatic machine, a method and a relative packaging as specified in the independent claims.
- Further characteristics of the automatic machine and method for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film and also the relative packaging are indicated in the dependent claims.
- The characteristics and advantages of an automatic machine and a method for packaging according to the present invention will appear more evident from the following illustrative and non-limiting description, referring to the enclosed schematic drawings, in which:
- figure 1 is a schematic view of an automatic machine for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film, object of the present invention;
- figure 2 schematically shows a packaging at the moment of separation from the film being fed onto the machine of figure 1;
- figures 3A and 3B respectively show schematic transversal sections of two parallel conveyors according to two different feeding configurations to the packaging machine of figure 1;
- figures 4A and 4B show two possible arrangements of the plastic film around the products for the longitudinal welding in a packaging station of the machine of figure 1;
- figures 5 and 6 schematically show a second longitudinal welder for the closing of the packaging and a transversal welding station of the packaging machine of figure 1, respectively;
- figure 7 shows an overturning device of the automatic packaging machine, object of the present invention.
- With reference to the figures, these schematically show a packaging machine, indicated as a whole with 10, on which a method is embodied for the packaging of a series of products, comprising at least one
editorial product 11 and at least a second product 11', in aplastic film 12 for producing a relative packaging 100 (figure 2), which has four distinct display sides for a better visibility of the products packaged. - The first page of the cover, which in figure 2 is facing downwards, can for example show either the cover of the main magazine or a false cover carrying the bar code with the sales price of the magazine in its promotional form. The second page of the cover, schematized in the figure as side "B", can for example show a graphic insert, analogously to the third cover page, shown in the figure as side "C", which can alternatively show the back of the gadget. In order to have the maximum visibility, the gadget, such as an audio disk or video, a book or other object, should in fact be positioned on the fourth page of the cover, also not visible in figure 2.
- The
packaging 100 envisages the presence of twobags 101 for theproducts 11 and 11', which are closed and separate from each other. - In a preferred embodiment of the
packaging 100, object of the present invention, twofurther containment areas 102 forlabels 103 are situated at an upper end of thebags 101. An overlapping band of the packaging is therefore formed, on which, for example, information necessary for identifying the product and inserts, as also the sales price as a promotional offer or the like, can be visualized. - Each of the
containment areas 102 forlabels 103, in addition to thebags 101 for theeditorial products 11 and/or gadgets 11' are closed on all sides by means ofweldings 104 or afolding 105 of the film. - The
packaging 100 according to the present invention can be folded, at the end of the packaging process in the machine, along the intermediatelongitudinal welding line 104 to create a conformation with a limited encumbrance. - The
automatic packaging machine 10 comprises afirst feeder 13 which longitudinally transfers thefirst product 11 onto amain pusher conveyor 14 according to the advance direction schematized with the arrow F. In the illustrative and non-limiting embodiment of the packaging machine, object of the present invention, shown and described, saidfirst product 11 is fed with its cover facing downwards and forms the most visible product at the end of the packaging. - The
main conveyor 14 is flanked in a first section by at least onetransversal feeder 15 for the feeding of other products, such as inserts, magazines, newspapers, leaflets or a series of these, in a stacked position with respect to the first product. Each of thetransversal feeders 15 feeds adifferent product 11 onto the first conveyor, providing the possibility of packaging a series ofproducts 11 in afirst bag 101. - In a subsequent section, the
main conveyor 14 is flanked by afurther pusher conveyor 16 for transporting a third and possibly fourth product 11' towards apackaging station 20. Feeding means 17, such as automatic feeders for graphic editorial products or robotized feeders for gadgets, audio disks and videos, or other items are arranged to the side of thesecond pusher conveyor 16. - Both conveyors comprise
lateral guides 18, which can be adjusted on the basis of the dimensions of the products transported thereon. - Furthermore, the
second conveyor 16 also has itsown interaxis 19 which can be moved sideways to flank thesecond conveyor 16 alongside thefirst conveyor 14. - Figures 3A and 3B respectively, schematically show, in a transversal section, the two
conveyors products 11 having different side encumbrances. - Furthermore, the phase of the pusher of the
second conveyor 16 can be modified as desired with respect to the phase of the pusher of themain conveyor 14, as specific autonomous motors, not shown, are provided, which operate in correlation with the motor of themain conveyor 14. - The
subsequent packaging station 20 comprises a continuous unwinding bobbin for the feeding of theplastic film 12 and amechanical conformer 21 which unwinds thefilm 12 and redirects it in a longitudinal direction F, as schematically illustrated in figure 1. - In figure 1, two
labelling machines 22 are situated along the unwinding run of thepackaging film 12 for the positioning oflabels 103 either preprinted and/or to be printed with fixed and/or variable data. Thelabelling machines 22 apply thelabels 103 in pairs to thefilm 12 transversally with respect to the feeding direction F and at a distance from each other corresponding to a pre-established length greater than the length of theeditorial products 11 to be packaged. - Alternatively, the
labels 103 can all be the same and fed from a roll, not shown. - As an alternative, it is also possible to apply a
single label 103 to the film, rather than a pair of labels, suitably positioned between the products. - A perforator, of the known type and not shown in the figure, can also be assembled on the
machine 10, which acts on thefilm 12 in correspondence with thelabel 103 applied, creating a hole suitable for hanging the production ofpackages 100. - The
labels 103, which can be made of various materials, such as paper, film or other materials, are suitable for making the area of the display band stronger and more rigid, for sustaining the weight of theproducts 11 and 11' when thepackaging 100 is hung and avoiding the formation of folds of thefilm 12. - The
mechanical conformer 21 winds the film around theproducts 11, which are fed from the two conveyors to thepackaging station 20. - A
longitudinal closing device 23 of the known type and schematically shown in figure 1, is for example a wheel welder, a glue dispenser, an ultrasonic welder, or another device, which effects an intermediatelongitudinal welding 104 for separating the two flankedbags 101 containing theproducts 11 and 11'. - If the
plastic film 12 is folded over the flankedproducts 11 and 11' along their two opposite edges, creating a superimposed area in a substantially central position, thelongitudinal welding 104 also forms the welding of the film 12 (figure 4A). - The
film 12 can also be indifferently folded only along one edge of the editorial products 11', as shown in figure 4B. In this case, the intermediatelongitudinal welding 104 separates the twobags 101 and a furtherlongitudinal welder 24, positioned laterally, effects the welding with a side trimming of theexcess film 106 and closing of thepackaging 100, as schematically shown in the sectional detail of figure 5. - In an alternative embodiment, not shown, the
longitudinal closing device 23 can also be set up for effecting a longitudinal cut, if the machine is to be converted for the production of single packagings, for example as an emergency line in the case of damage to the other lines for single packaging. By feeding the same products on bothconveyors - In a subsequent
transversal welding station 25,double welding bars 26, also of the known type and only shown schematically in the detail of figure 6, also effect twotransversal weldings 107 of the plastic film which close thepackaging 100, i.e. they separate thebags 101 from the containment areas of thelabels 102, and separate thepackaging 100 from thefilm 12 being fed. - An
overturning device 27, which allows the superimposition of the twobags 101, comprises a base belt which effects a torsion suitable for overturning the product 11' which is alongside themain product 11 on top of the latter thus reducing the encumbrance of the packaging machine, as schematically shown in the detail of figure 7. - The
automatic machine 10 for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film according to the present invention, can also comprise further known devices, such as an accumulator, a manipulator, a conveyor towards subsequent packaging machines, or other devices. - The packaging of a series of editorial products, produced with the machine and method, object of the present invention, has the advantage of giving the inserts greater visibility and consequently a consistent value added advertising.
- The automatic packaging machine, object of the present invention can also be advantageously used for the packaging of single products with a high productivity.
- The automatic machine, the method for the packaging of a series of editorial products in plastic film and the relative packaging thus conceived can undergo numerous modifications and variants, all included in the invention; furthermore all the details can be substituted by technically equivalent elements. In practice, the materials used, as also the dimensions, can vary according to technical requirements.
