Abstract

Device for providing containers, bottles and cans with a circular label comprises a transfer unit and/or adhesion unit so that the end edge of the label does not adhere in the region of the upper and/or lower corners. Preferred Features: The transfer unit is formed as a rotating rotor with holders for the label. The adhesion unit is formed as a gluing roller arranged on the periphery of the transfer unit.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Ausstatten von Gegenständen mit einem Rundumetikett, gemäß dem Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for equipping objects with a wrap-around label, according to the characterizing part of claim 1.

Es ist seit geraumer Zeit Stand der Technik, Gegenstände, insbesondere Behälter wie Flaschen, Dosen oder dgl. an ihrer Mantelfläche mit einem aus einem rechteckigen Zuschnitt gebildeten Rundumetikett zu versehen, das durch Aufwickeln auf die Mantelfläche eines Gegenstandes gebracht wird, wobei die Etikettenendkante die Etikettenanfangskante überlappt und mit dieser dauerhaft verbunden wird, z.B. durch Klebstoff oder Lösungsmittel. Üblicherweise wird ein Etikettenzuschnitt vor dem Aufwickeln auf einen Gegenstand durch Abtrennen von einer Etikettenrolle erzeugt und mit einer rotierenden Transfereinrichtung, insbesondere Vakuumtrommel, auf den Gegenstand aufgerollt. Für diese Art von Etikettierung gibt es zahlreiche sehr wirtschaftlich und leistungsfähig arbeitende Etikettiervorrichtungen auf dem Markt ( US 4 758 300 , US 5 116 452 , US 5 160 570 , US 4 923 557 , EP 1 270 426 A1 , DE 10 2004 047 595 A1 , DE 20 2004 013 947 U1 , DE 91 02 676 U1 ).It has for some time prior art, objects, especially containers such as bottles, cans or the like. To provide on its outer surface with a formed from a rectangular blank wrap around label, which is brought by winding on the lateral surface of an object, the label end edge of the label initial edge overlapped and permanently connected to it, for example by adhesive or solvent. Usually, a label blank is produced prior to winding onto an object by separating from a label roll and rolled with a rotating transfer device, in particular vacuum drum, on the object. For this type of labeling there are many very economical and efficient labeling devices on the market ( US 4,758,300 . US 5,116,452 . US 5,160,570 . US 4,923,557 . EP 1 270 426 A1 . DE 10 2004 047 595 A1 . DE 20 2004 013 947 U1 . DE 91 02 676 U1 ).

Des weiteren ist die Verwendung von beidseitig bedruckten Etiketten bekannt, die also auch auf der zum Gegenstand weisenden Innenseite Informationen für den Verbraucher aufweisen und demzufolge zunächst vom etikettierten Gegenstand abgelöst werden müssen, um die Rückseite betrachten zu können. Hierfür kann ein Etikett eine Aufreißlinie bzw. einen Aufreißfaden besitzen, der ein einfaches Ablösen des Etiketts ermöglichen soll. Nachteiligerweise sind derart präparierte Etiketten teuerer als konventionelle Etiketten und können zudem im Falle von elastischen Gegenständen, die sich beispielsweise bei Erwärmung oder bei einem Innendruckanstieg ausdehnen, unbeabsichtigt aufreißen bzw. abplatzen.Furthermore, the use of double-sided printed labels is known, which therefore also have information on the object facing the inside information for the consumer and therefore must first be replaced by the labeled object to view the back. For this purpose, a label may have a tear line or a tear thread, the one to allow easy detachment of the label. Disadvantageously, such prepared labels are more expensive than conventional labels and, moreover, can inadvertently rupture or flake off in the case of elastic objects which expand, for example, when heated or when the internal pressure rises.

Der Erfindung liegt demzufolge die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Ausstatten von Gegenständen mit einem Rundumetikett anzugeben, das kostengünstig verarbeitet werden kann, leicht von einem Gegenstand entfernbar ist und trotzdem bei unterschiedlichsten Bedingungen zuverlässig an einem Gegenstand haftet.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a device for furnishing objects with a wrap-around label that can be processed inexpensively, is easily removable from an object and still reliably adheres to an object under different conditions.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.This problem is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Durch die Maßnahme, einen Eckbereich der Etikettenendkante nicht adhäsiv mit der darunter liegenden Etikettenanfangskante zu verbinden, kann einerseits ein schnelles Aufreißen der Überlappungsverbindung - ausgehend von dieser unbefestigten Etikettenecke - erfolgen, ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand für spezielle Etiketten oder Sondereinrichtungen zum Erzeugen von Perforationslinien in Kauf nehmen zu müssen. Der Etikettiervorgang läuft im Grundsatz unverändert gleich ab, mit Ausnahme der Befestigung der Etikettenendkante, die nicht mehr über ihre gesamte Höhe durchgehend flächig angeheftet wird.By the measure not to adhesively connect a corner region of the label end edge with the underlying label edge, on the one hand a rapid tearing of the overlap connection - starting from this unsecured label corner - done without additional effort for special labels or special equipment for generating perforation lines in purchasing have to. The labeling process is basically the same as before, with the exception of the attachment of the label end edge, which is no longer adhered flat over its entire height.

Vorrichtungsseitig wird dies dadurch bewerkstelligt, dass der obere und/oder untere Eckbereich der Endkante des Rundumetiketts beim Passieren der Adhäsionseinrichtung, z.B. einer Leimwalze, nicht in einen klebenden Zustand gebracht wird.On the device side, this is accomplished in that the upper and / or lower corner region of the end edge of the wrap-around label when passing the adhesion device, eg a glue roller, is not brought into an adhesive state.

Besonders bevorzugt geschieht dies durch eine rotierende Transfereinrichtung, z.B. einen Vakuumzylinder, deren Tragfläche für die Etikettenendkante in den besagten Eckbereichen der Endkante in Richtung der Rotationsachse radial einwärts verlaufend geformt ist, wodurch die vorgesehenen Etikettenecken einen Abstand zur Adhäsionseinrichtung, beispielsweise der Oberfläche einer Leimwalze, aufweist und keine haftenden Eigenschaften erlangt. Der überwiegende Bereich der Etikettenendkante wird aber nach wie vor in einen adhäsiven Zustand versetzt, indem beispielsweise ein vertikaler Leimstreifen aus Heißleim oder dgl. aufgetragen, oder bei einem Kunststoffetikett ggf. ein kurzzeitiger Kontakt zu einer beheizten Fläche hergestellt wird.This is particularly preferably done by a rotating transfer device, e.g. a vacuum cylinder, the support surface is formed for the label end edge in said corner regions of the end edge in the direction of the axis of rotation radially inwardly, whereby the provided label corners a distance from the adhesion device, for example, the surface of a glue roller, and does not acquire adhesive properties. However, the vast area of the label end edge is still placed in an adhesive state by, for example, a vertical glue strip of hot glue or the like. Plotted, or in a plastic label, if necessary, a short-term contact is made to a heated surface.

Alternativ kann im Falle einer Leimwalze deren Oberfläche nur in den für eine Leimübertragung vorgesehenen Bereichen eine leimaufnehmende Strukturierung aufweisen, während alle übrigen Abschnitte der Walze eine glatte, leimfreie Beschaffenheit besitzen, d.h. die den Eckbereichen zugeordneten Oberflächenzonen wären glatt auszubilden. Durch einen an der glatten Oberfläche spaltfrei anliegenden Schaber erfolgt nur in den strukturierten Oberflächenbereichen ein Leimübertrag auf das Etikett. Auf diese Weise kann auch in Verbindung mit einem völlig konventionell ausgebildeten Transfer- bzw. Vakuumzylinder ein vergleichbares Etikettierergebnis erreicht werden.Alternatively, in the case of a sizing roll, the surface thereof may have a sizing pattern only in the areas intended for size transfer, while all other portions of the squeeze have a smooth, non-sizing nature, i. the surface zones associated with the corner regions would be smooth. By means of a scraper resting against the smooth surface, a glue transfer to the label takes place only in the structured surface areas. In this way, a comparable Etikettierergebnis can be achieved in conjunction with a completely conventional trained transfer or vacuum cylinder.

Im Nachfolgenden wird ein besonders bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel anhand der Figuren erläutert. Es zeigt:

Fig. 2
eine Draufsicht auf die Tragfläche des Vakuumzylinders für die Etikettenendkante eines Rundumetiketts und

In the following, a particularly preferred embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. It shows:
Fig. 1
a jacket unwinding of a one-piece vacuum cylinder for passing a wrap-around label on a glue roller and transferring it to an object,
Fig. 2
a plan view of the support surface of the vacuum cylinder for the label end edge of a wrap-around label and
Fig. 3
a wrap around label after the application of glue zones and when winding on an object in each perspective view.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt die Mantelabwicklung eines einteiligen Vakuumzylinders, der einen prinzipiell gleichen Aufbau aufweist wie der aus EP 1 270 426 A1 bekannte Vakuumzylinder, der allerdings drei Teilungsabstände besitzt.The Fig. 1 shows the Mantelabwicklung a one-piece vacuum cylinder, which has a basically the same structure as that of EP 1 270 426 A1 known vacuum cylinder, however, has three pitches.

In die Mantelfläche M eingebettet sind zwei entsprechend der Etikettenlänge beabstandete, elastische Saugleisten S1 und S2, deren äußere Oberfläche gegenüber der übrigen Mantelfläche geringfügig radial nach außen überstehend ausgebildet ist, oder die im Falle von radial beweglich als Schieber ausgeführten Saugleisten zur Leimaufnahme an einer Leimwalze aus der Mantelfläche radial nach außen vorsteuerbar ist.Embedded in the lateral surface M are two according to the label length spaced, elastic suction strips S1 and S2, the outer surface over the remaining surface slightly protruding radially outward, or in the case of radially movable slide designed as suction for glue pickup on a glue roller the lateral surface is radially outwardly vorsteuerbar.

Die mit S1 bezeichnete Saugleiste dient zur Aufnahme der in Drehrichtung des Vakuumzylinders voraus laufenden Etikettenvorderkante V und die Saugleiste S2 bildet eine Tragfläche für die nachlaufende Etikettenendkante H eines nach dem Aufbringen auf einen Gegenstand F überlappenden Rundumetiketts R.The suction strip designated S1 serves to receive the leading label edge V in advance in the direction of rotation of the vacuum cylinder and the suction strip S2 forms a support surface for the trailing label end edge H of a after application to an article F overlapping wrap-around label R.

Gegenüber der Gestaltung der bisher aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Saugleisten weist die vorliegende Saugleiste S2 in ihrem oberen Eckbereich, der die Tragfläche für die obere Etikettenecke O an der Etikettenendkante H des Rundumetiketts R bildet, einen radial von der Peripherie schräg einwärts in Richtung zur Rotationsachse des Vakuumzylinders geformten, schräg abgeflachten Eckabschnitt E auf, der wenigstens eine Vakuumbohrung B besitzt, um die besagte obere Etikettenecke O an der nachlaufenden Endkante H radial nach innen halten zu können, derart, dass diese Etikettenecke O nicht mehr in der die Leimwalzenoberfläche L tangierenden Peripherie der übrigen Saugleistenoberfläche liegt. Aus diesem Grund weist die nach innen gezogene Etikettenecke O einen Abstand zur Leimwalzenoberfläche L und erhält keinen Leimauftrag.Compared to the design of the previously known from the prior art suction bars, the present squeegee S2 in its upper corner, which forms the support surface for the upper label corner O at the Etikettenendkante H of the wrap-around label R, a radially from the periphery obliquely inwardly toward the axis of rotation formed on the vacuum cylinder, obliquely flattened corner portion E, which has at least one vacuum bore B to keep said upper label corner O at the trailing end edge H radially inward, such that this label corner O no longer in the Leimwalzenoberfläche L tangent periphery the remaining Saugleistenoberfläche lies. For this reason, the drawn-in label corner O has a distance from the glue roller surface L and receives no glue.

Nach dem vollständigen Aufwickeln des Rundumetiketts R auf einen Gegenstand F, z.B. eine Getränkeflasche, weist die unbeleimte Ecke der Etikettenendkante H keine Klebeverbindung zu der innen liegenden, überlappten Etikettenvorderkante V auf und kann an dieser Stelle leicht manuell erfasst und zum späteren Aufreißen des Etiketts genutzt werden.After completely wrapping the wrap-around label R on an article F, e.g. a beverage bottle, the non-glued corner of the label end edge H no adhesive bond to the inside, overlapped label leading edge V and can be easily detected manually at this point and used for later tearing of the label.

Zum Anheften und Aufwickeln des Rundumetiketts R auf den Gegenstand F kann die Etikettenvorderkante V in herkömmlicher Art mit einer vertikal vom oberen bis zum unteren Etikettenrand durchgehenden Leimzone Z1 versehen werden. Die Leimzone Z2 an der Etikettenendkante H weist dagegen im oberen Eckbereich O des Etiketts eine in etwa dreieckförmige, leimfreie Ausnehmung auf (siehe Fig. 3).For attaching and winding the wrap-around label R on the article F, the label leading edge V can be provided in a conventional manner with a glue zone Z1 extending vertically from the top to the bottom label edge. In contrast, the glue zone Z2 at the label end edge H has an approximately triangular, glue-free recess in the upper corner region O of the label (see FIG Fig. 3 ).

Die vorstehend beschriebene Vorrichtung ist zur Verarbeitung von Etiketten aus Papier oder Kunststoff gleichermaßen geeignet.The device described above is equally suitable for processing labels made of paper or plastic.

Die zu etikettierenden Gegenstände können aus einem starren Material wie Glas, Metall oder dgl. oder einem elastischen Werkstoff wie z.B. Kunststoff bestehen.The articles to be labeled may be made of a rigid material such as glass, metal or the like, or an elastic material such as glass. Plastic exist.
