Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for supporting reels of webs with self-adhesive labels, in particular intended to be used in labelling machines equipped with systems for joining the webs.
  • labelling machines or the related labelling units intended to apply self-adhesive labels are supplied with said labels applied one after another on suitable backing webs which are wound in reels.
  • the machine usually comprises two supports, one for the reel being unwound and one for the new reel, as well as systems for retaining the starting edge of the new reel which already has an adhesive element on it, in a standby position.
  • the prior art solutions are all affected by the fact that the webs to be joined are asymmetrical, since the labels are applied on only one side of the web. Consequently, depending on how the two reels of the webs to be joined are positioned and how the reels are positioned, the joining operation may require various even relatively complex operations. In general, it may be the case that the new web to be joined to the web that is about to finish is positioned at the side of the latter on which the labels are located or at the opposite side on which no labels are present.
  • the technical purpose which forms the basis of this invention is to provide a device for supporting reels of webs with self-adhesive labels that overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages
  • the technical purpose of this invention is to provide a device for supporting reels of webs with self-adhesive labels that allows the webs to be joined to always be made available to the labelling machine with the same mutual positioning, in such a way that the join can always be made in the same way.
  • the numeral 1 denotes in its entirety a device for supporting reels of webs with self-adhesive labels, made according to this invention. Hereinafter, it will be referred to simply as the device 1.
  • Figure 1 shows the device 1 connected to a labelling unit 2 of a labelling machine.
  • this invention relates to the device 1 in itself, to a labelling unit 2 equipped with the device 1 and to the entire labelling machine equipped with the device 1.
  • the labelling unit 2 visible in the figures is in itself of the known type, it will not be described in further detail herein.
  • Figure 2 also shows a joining unit 3 associated with the labelling unit 3 which allows the join to be made between two webs arriving from the supporting device.
  • the joining unit 3 may be made in any way. However, being a unit that is in itself known, it will not be described in detail herein.
  • the device 1 always comprises a supporting structure 5, at least two supports 6, each for supporting a reel of web with self-adhesive labels fixed on a first side 7 of it.
  • the supports 6 are rotatably mounted or mountable on the supporting structure 5, one at a first position (the lower position in the accompanying figures) and one at a second position (the upper position in the accompanying figures).
  • first guide means 8 and second guide means 9 At least when the device 1 is associated with the labelling unit there are first guide means 8 and second guide means 9 present.
  • the first guide means 8 define a main feed path for a first web 10 which, in use, extends from a first reel 11 mounted on the support positioned in the first position, to an outfeed section 12 of the joining unit.
  • the second guide means 9 define a secondary feed path for a second web 13 which, in use, extends from a second reel 14 mounted on the support positioned in the second position, to an operating zone identified along the main feed path in the joining unit 3.
  • Each support 6 is equipped with two idle return rollers 63 which, depending on the position adopted by the support, may be part of the first guide means 8 or of the second guide means 9.
  • main feed path and the secondary feed path coincide respectively with the way in which the first web 10 and the second web 13 extend.
  • both the first web 10 and the second web 13 are positioned in such a way that their surface, although having a complex shape, is parallel to a reference axis transversal to the main feed path, which in the accompanying figures is horizontal and coincides with the axis of rotation of the reels 11, 14, and with their own sides positioned in the same way.
  • the main and secondary feed paths and the first web 10 and the second web 13 substantially appear to be a curved line.
  • the positions of the two supports 6 on the supporting structure 5 can be inverted, and, on the other hand, a support 6 positioned in the second position can be moved to the first position, allowing, during the entire movement, unwinding of the second web 13 from the second reel 14 and, in use, its free feeding from the second reel 14 towards the operating zone.
  • a support 6 positioned in the second position can be moved to the first position, allowing, during the entire movement, unwinding of the second web 13 from the second reel 14 and, in use, its free feeding from the second reel 14 towards the operating zone.
  • the supporting structure 5 comprises a frame rotatable about an axis which, in use, is parallel to an axis of rotation of the reels mounted on the supports 6, and the supports 6 are mounted on said frame on opposite sides of the axis of rotation of the frame. In this way, the movement of one support 6 from the first position to the second position and of the other support 6 from the second position to the first position is achievable by rotating the frame.
  • the supporting structure 5 comprises a guide 46, advantageously straight, on which the supports 6 are slidably mounted. Therefore, each support 6 can pass from the second position to the first position by sliding along the guide 46.
  • the guide 46 advantageously comprises two separate portions, a first portion 47 which defines the first position for the supports 6 and a second portion 48 which defines the second position for the supports 6. At least the first portion 47 is rotatable between an aligned position ( Figures 4 , 21 and 28 ) in which it is aligned with the second portion 48 and allows the passage of a support 6 from the second portion 48 to the first portion 47, and a rotated position ( Figures 22 and 27 ) in which it is not aligned with the first portion 47 and allows the removal of a support 6 from it, preferably by simply pulling it off.
  • an aligned position Figures 4 , 21 and 28
  • a rotated position Figures 22 and 27
  • the first portion 47 pivots at the supporting structure 5 according to an axis of rotation coinciding with that of the first reel 11 positioned on the support 6 in the first position.
  • the second portion 48 in turn, on the opposite side to the first portion 47, is open for allowing one of the supports 6 to be coupled to it ( Figure 29 ).
  • the movement of the first portion 47 may be performed using a manually operated lever 49 connected to an air spring 50. However, in other embodiments it may be performed automatically and/or be motor-driven.
  • the guide 46 is constituted of a rail on which the supports 6 are slidably coupled by means of four V-shaped pulleys 51 which are positioned on both sides of the rail, and on the other hand it comprises at least one vertical component of extension (in the accompanying drawings it is in fact set at an angle of approximately 60° to the horizontal plane).
  • the device 1 advantageously comprises at least one positioning unit 52, movable parallel to the guide 46 between an upper position in which it retains a support 6 positioned in the second position, a lower operating position in which it can support a support 6 positioned substantially in the first position, and a lower non-operating position in which it is positioned lower than the lower operating position and is uncoupled from the support 6 in the first position.
  • the positioning unit 52 comprises a body 53 ( Figures 5 and 6 ) comprising a resting portion 54 and a following portion 55.
  • the resting portion 54 (constituted of a cantilever-style pin in the accompanying figures) is designed to interact with a support 6 so as to sustain it.
  • the following portion 55 is slidably associated with a cam portion 56 of the supporting structure 5.
  • the following portion 55 comprises two following rollers 57 which are at a distance from one another and from an axis of rotation of the body 53.
  • the body 53 is rotatable about an axis of rotation which translates with the body 53 and which is transversal to a main line of extension of the guide 46.
  • the body 53 is rotatable between a sustaining position in which the resting portion 54 can interact with a support 6 mounted on the guide 46 so as to sustain it ( Figure 8 ), and a home position in which the resting portion 54 cannot engage with a support 6 associated with the guide 46 ( Figure 16 ).
  • elastic means 58 (a torsion spring in the accompanying figures) associated with the body 53 for pushing it towards the home position.
  • the cam portion 56 in turn causes forced positioning of the body 53 in the sustaining position at least at the positioning unit 52 upper position, whilst it allows it to rotate towards the home position at least near to and at the lower operating position and between the lower operating position and the lower non-operating position. In fact, in this way it is possible to perform the translation of the positioning unit 52 from the non-operating home position to the sustaining position even when a support 6 is present in the respective first position.
  • the movement of the body 53 along the cam portion 56 is achieved by means of a cylinder without a rod 59, equipped with a slide 60 to which the body 53 is rotatably connected.
  • the body 53 is in the upper position and, thanks to the interaction of the cam portion 56 with the following portion 55, in the sustaining position, with the resting portion 54 interacting with a corresponding resting element 61 fixed to the support 6, sustaining it.
  • the weight of the support 6 overcomes the resistance of the elastic means 58 and holds the body 53 rotated with the following portion 55 only partly coupled to the cam portion 56.
  • the resting portion 54 is in fact positioned on the other side of a vertical plane passing through the pivoting point of the body 53.
  • the support 6 When the body 53 reaches the lower operating position, the support 6 reaches the end of its stroke corresponding to the first position, and it engages in a suitable fork 62 fixed to the guide 46 ( Figure 11 ), and advantageously fixed to the first portion 47 for rotating with it ( Figure 22 ).
  • the figure shows the situation running regularly, with the first web 10 being unwound, and the second web 13 ready for the join to be made in the joining unit (therefore, stationary for the time being).
  • the joining unit When the first web 10 finishes ( Figure 26 ), the joining unit is activated and makes the join between a final end of the first web 10 and a starting end of the second web 13. Then unwinding of the second web 13 begins and it is fed to the labelling machine ( Figure 27 ).
  • first the first portion 47 of the guide 46 is rotated into the not aligned position ( Figure 22 ) and the empty support 6 in the first position is removed ( Figures 23 and 27 ).
  • first the first portion 47 has been returned to the aligned position ( Figure 24 ) it is possible to slide the other support 6 from the second position to the first position ( Figure 28 ).
  • This invention brings important advantages.
  • the device according to this invention it has been possible to provide a device for supporting reels of webs with self-adhesive labels, that always allows two webs to be joined to each other to be made available to the labelling machine with the same mutual positioning, in such a way that the join can always be made in the same way, thereby also making the structure of the joining unit that will be used simpler.
