Abstract

A device for attaching articles (11) to packages (12) which are passed to the applicator device (10) at irregular intervals. When this is done the articles (for example, drinking straws (11)), are thrust against the package (12) by means of rotatable applicator arms (41). The applicator arm (41) is tilted against the action of a pull-off spring (51) by a burst of compressed air that acts on the arm (41) for a brief period so that it moves back into its initial position immediately after pressing against the package (12). The applicator device (10) can be tilted about two perpendicular directions and can be secured in order that the drinking straws (11) can be secured in different directions and on variously inclined surfaces of the package (12).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Anbringen von Gegenständen, wie Etiketten, Trinkhalmen od. dgl. an Pakkungen, Flaschen oder anderen Objekten, die in Abständen an der Vorrichtung vorbeigeführt werden, welche die anzubringenden Gegenstände mit einer Vorschubeinrichtung einzeln bereitstellt.The invention relates to a device for attaching objects, such as labels, straws or the like. To packs, bottles or other objects which are passed at intervals around the device, which individually provides the objects to be attached with a feed device.

Beim Anbringen von Etiketten auf Industrieerzeugnissen, die von einer Maschine ausgestoßen werden.oder beim Anbringen von Trinkhalmen auf mit einer Flüssigkeit gefüllten Behältnissen besteht die Schwierigkeit, daß die Objekte., auf welche die Etiketten bzw. Trinkhalme od.dgl. aufgebracht werden sollen, von der Fertigungs- oder Abpackmaschine oft in unregelmäßigen Abständen auf den Abförderer gelangen und deshalb erst wieder in ihrem Mengenstrom vergleichmäßigt werden müssen, bevor sie weiteren Bearbeitungsschritten unterworfen werden können.When attaching labels to industrial products that are ejected from a machine . or when attaching drinking straws to containers filled with a liquid, there is the difficulty that the objects. on which the labels or drinking straws or the like. are to be applied, often arrive at irregular intervals from the manufacturing or packaging machine and therefore have to be homogenized again in their volume flow before they can be subjected to further processing steps.

Es ist bekannt, die von einem Förderer herangeführten, auf diesem in unregelmäßigen Abständen liegenden Objekte zunächst gegen eine Stauplatte laufen zu lassen, so daß mehrere Objekte dicht zusammengeschoben werden. Diese werden dann quer zum Förderer einzeln entweder in zeitlich gleichem Abstand auf einen anderen Förderer abgeschoben, der sie der weiteren Bearbeitung zuführt, oder sie Werden in die Zellen eines Zellenrades gebracht, das sich absatzweise an der Bearbeitungsstelle vorbeidreht. Die an den einzelnen Objekten zu applizierenden Gegenstände, wie Etiketten, Trinkhalme etc. werden dann jeweils im Stillstand eines jeden Objektes an dieses angeklebt oder auf andere Weise befestigt.It is known that the objects brought up by a conveyor and lying thereon at irregular intervals first run against a storage plate, so that several objects are pushed close together. These are then individually pushed across the conveyor either at the same time interval to another conveyor, which they the feeds further processing, or they are brought into the cells of a cell wheel, which spins past the processing point. The objects to be applied to the individual objects, such as labels, drinking straws, etc. are then stuck to each object when it is stationary or attached in some other way.

Das Zusammenschieben und intermittierende Weitertransportieren der wieder vereinzelten Gegenstände erfordert einen zusätzlichen maschinellen und konstruktiven Aufwand, der die Anlage erheblich verteuert und die Produktionsgeschwindigkeit herabsetzt.The pushing together and intermittent further transport of the re-separated objects requires additional mechanical and design effort, which makes the system considerably more expensive and reduces the production speed.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der Gegenstände, insbesondere Trinkhalme, Etiketten od. dgl. an Objekte, wie Verpackungen, Flaschen, Beutel etc., die auf einem Förderer auch in ungleichmäßigen Abständen und/ oder mit ungleichmäßiger Geschwindigkeit vorbeigeführt werden, immer an der gleichen Stelle angebracht werden können.The object of the invention is to provide a device with which objects, in particular drinking straws, labels or the like. Objects, such as packaging, bottles, bags, etc., which pass on a conveyor even at uneven intervals and / or at uneven speed can always be attached in the same place.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß ein gegen das Objekt bewegbares Applizierelement vorgesehen ist, das den anzubringenden Gegenstand gegen das Objekt schleudert und entgegen der Wirkung einer Feder von einer Stoßvorrichtung betätigt wird, die von dem vorbeigeführten Objekt gesteuert wird.This object is achieved with the invention in that an application element which is movable against the object is provided, which throws the object to be attached against the object and is actuated against the action of a spring by a pushing device which is controlled by the object being guided past.

Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, daß die aus einer Bearbeitungs- oder Abpackmaschine ausgeworfenen und in unregelmäßigen Abständen abtransportierten Objekte nicht erst auf voneinander gleiche Abstände gebracht werden müssen, sondern kontinuierlich im Vorbeilauf mit den Gegenständen versehen werden können, die auf ihrer Außenseite befestigt werden sollen. Es ist also weder notwendig, gleiche Abstände der Objekte voneinander einzuhalten, noch die Objekte während des Abbringens der Gegenstände anzuhalten. Dies wird nach der Erfindung dadurch ermöglicht, daß die Stoßvorrichtung nur kurzzeitig auf das Applizierelement einwirkt und bereits wieder verschwindet, bevor das Applizierelement unter dem Stoß zusammen mit dem anzubringenden Gegenstand auf das Objekt aufschlägt. Durch den Rückprall und die Wirkung der Feder wird erreicht, daß praktisch keine Relativverschiebung zwischen dem vorbeigeführten Objekt und dem auf ihm anzubringenden Gegenstand stattfindet, wobei die von den vorbeigeführten Objekten selbst betätigte Steuerung dafür sorgt, daß die Gegenstände stets an der gleichen Stelle auf dem Objekt plaziert werden, wie schnell und in welchen Abständen auch immer diese an der Vorrichtung vorbeigeführt werden. Die Stoßvorrichtung weist zweckmäßig eine Luftdüse auf, die gegen das Applizierelement gerichtete Luftstöße erzeugt. Eine solche Luftstoßvorrichtung arbeitet praktisch trägheitslos und der Luftstoß bewegt das Applizierelement nur in derjenigen Richtung, in der es den Gegenstad gegen das Objekt schleudert. Danach verschwindet der kurzzeitige Luftimpuls von selbst, so daß der Rückprall und die Rückzugfeder das Applizierelement sehr schnell und präzise wieder in seine Ausgangslage zurückführen, wobei es wesentlich ist, daß die Stoßvorrichtung nur kurzzeitig auf das Applizierelement einwirkt und dann wieder verschwindet.This embodiment has the advantage that the objects ejected from a processing or packaging machine and transported at irregular intervals do not first have to be brought to the same distances from one another, but can be continuously provided with the objects to be fastened on the outside in passing. It is therefore not necessary to keep the objects at equal distances from one another, nor to stop the objects while the objects are being removed. This is made possible according to the invention in that the impact device acts only briefly on the application element and already again disappears before the application element hits the object together with the object to be attached under the impact. Due to the rebound and the action of the spring, there is practically no relative displacement between the object being passed and the object to be attached to it, the control actuated by the objects passing by itself ensuring that the objects are always in the same place on the object be placed, how quickly and at what intervals they are passed by the device. The impact device expediently has an air nozzle which generates air impacts directed against the application element. Such an air blast device works practically without inertia and the air blast only moves the application element in the direction in which it throws the object against the object. Then the short-term air pulse disappears by itself, so that the rebound and the return spring return the applicator element very quickly and precisely to its starting position, it being essential that the impact device only acts briefly on the applicator element and then disappears.

Das Applizierelement ist zweckmäßig in mehreren Richtungen kippbar, um die bereitgestellten Gegenstände wahlweise in verschiedenen Lagen und auf verschieden gestaltete Objekte anbringen zu können. Hierbei ist es besonders zweckmäßig, wenn die Vorschubeinrichtung, das Applizierelement und sein Antrieb gemeinsam auf einer Tragvorrichtung gelagert sind, die um zwei zueinander senkrechte Achsen schwenkbar und feststellbar ist. Die für den Vorschub benötigten Teile der Vorrichtung und das Applizierelement haben dann immer die gleiche räumliche Lage zueinander, wobei das Applizierelement jede gewünschte Winkelstellung zu den Objekten einnehmen kann, an denen die Gegenstände befestigt werden sollen.The application element can expediently be tilted in several directions in order to be able to attach the objects provided optionally in different positions and to objects of different designs. It is particularly expedient here if the feed device, the application element and its drive are mounted together on a carrying device which can be pivoted and locked about two mutually perpendicular axes. The parts of the device and the application element required for the feed then always have the same spatial position relative to one another, the application element being able to assume any desired angular position with respect to the objects to which the objects are to be attached.

Das Applizierelement kann ein schwenkbarer Applizierhebel sein, der von der Stoßvorrichtung gegen Federwirkung verschwenkt wird. Es ist aber auch möglich, das Applizierelement als axial verschieblichen Applizierstößel auszubilden, der von der Stoßvorrichtung gegen Federwirkung gegen das Objekt vorgeschoben wird.The application element can be a pivotable application lever which is pivoted by the impact device against spring action. But it is also possible to use the applierierele ment as an axially displaceable application plunger, which is pushed against the object by the impact device against spring action.

Zum Steuern des Vorschubes und zum Einschalten des Applizierelementes in demjenigen Augenblick, an dem sich das mit dem Gegenstand zu versehende Objekt gegenüber der Anbringvorrichtung befindet, sind in der Bewegungsbahn der an der Vorrichtung vorbeigeführten Objekte zweckmäßig Sensoren angeordnet, welche die Objekte erkennen und den Antrieb der Stoßvorrichtung und/oder der Vorschubeinrichtung steuerh.To control the feed and to switch on the application element at the moment at which the object to be provided with the object is located opposite the attachment device, sensors are advantageously arranged in the path of movement of the objects guided past the device, which detects the objects and the drive of the Shock device and / or the feed device Steuerh.

Besonders zweckmäßig ist es, wenn die Vorschubeinrichtung ein Zellenrad aufweist, in dessen am Außenumfang angeordneten Zellen die anzubringenden Gegenstände gehalten und von dem Applizierelement hintergriffen werden, das in mindestens einer, im Bereich der Zellen angeordneten, randoffenen Umfangsnute des Zellenrades gleitet. Das Applizierelement hat dann stds die gleiche Ausgangslage und braucht nur einen geringen Weg zurückzulegen, um die Gegenstände an den vorbeigeführten Objekten anzubringen, die in den zweckmäßig unter Unterdruck stehenden Zellen des Zellenrades festgehalten werden.It is particularly expedient if the feed device has a cellular wheel in whose cells arranged on the outer circumference the objects to be attached are held and gripped behind by the application element which slides in at least one peripheral groove of the cellular wheel arranged in the area of the cells and open to the edge. The application element then always has the same starting position and only needs to travel a short distance in order to attach the objects to the objects which are being held and which are held in the cells of the cellular wheel which are expediently under pressure.

Das Applizierelement kann als Kipphebel ausgebildet sein, dessen einer Arm in die Umfangsnut des Zellenrades eingreift und dessen anderer Arm von der Stoßvorrichtung beaufschlagt wird. Hierbei ist es zweckmäßig, wenn ein Arm des Applizierhebels von einer Feder ständig gegen die Ausströmöffnung der Luftdüse gedrückt wird.The application element can be designed as a rocker arm, one arm of which engages in the circumferential groove of the cellular wheel and the other arm is acted upon by the impact device. Here, it is expedient if an arm of the application lever is constantly pressed by a spring against the outflow opening of the air nozzle.

Damit der Applizierhebel den jeweils anzubringenden Gegenstand sicher erfaßt und dieser, ohne verkantet zu werden, gegen das jeweilige Objekt geschleudert wird, hat das Zellenrad der Vorschubeinrichtung zweckmäßig zwei im Abstand voneinander angeordnete Umfangsnuten, in denen die beiden Enden des einen, gabelförmigen Armes des Applizierhebels liegen.So that the application lever reliably detects the object to be attached and this is flung against the respective object without being tilted, the cellular wheel of the feed device expediently has two circumferentially spaced grooves in which the two ends of the one fork-shaped arm of the application lever lie .

Wenn das Applizierelement als Applizierstößel ausgebildet ist, hat dieser an seinem einen Ende ein den jeweils zu applizierenden Gegenstand hintergreifendes Vorschubelement und an seinem anderen Ende eine Stauplatte, die vor der Ausströmöffnung der Luftdüse angeordnet ist.If the application element is designed as an application plunger, this has at its one end a to appli decorative object engaging behind the feed element and at its other end a storage plate, which is arranged in front of the outflow opening of the air nozzle.

In den Zeichnungen ist mit 10 eine Vorrichtung bezeichnet, mit der Gegenstände 11, im vorliegenden Falle in einer Papierhülle steckende Trinkhalme, auf an der Vorrichtung 10 vorbeigeführten Objekte 12 aufgeklebt werden sollen, die im vorliegenden Falle mit einem Getränk gefüllte Packungen sind. Die Packungen 12, die eine rechteckige Form haben, werden in einer hier nicht näher dargestellten Abpackmaschine mit dem Getränkgefüllt und verschlossen und gelangen dann in ungleichmäßigen Abständen auf einen Förderer 13, der sie kontinuierlich und vorzugsweise mit gleichbleibender Geschwindigkeit an der Vorrichtung 10 vorbei zu einer hier nicht mehr dargestellten Sammeästation weiterfördert, wo sie gestapelt und dem Lager oder der Verwendungsstelle zugeführt werden.In the drawings, 10 denotes a device with which objects 11, in the present case drinking straws stuck in a paper sleeve, are to be glued to objects 12 which are guided past the device 10 and in the present case are packs filled with a drink. The packs 12, which have a rectangular shape, are filled and closed with the beverage in a packaging machine, not shown here, and then arrive at irregular intervals on a conveyor 13 which continuously and preferably conveyed at a constant speed past the device 10 to a collecting station, not shown here anymore, where they are stacked and fed to the warehouse or the place of use.

Die Anbringvorrichtung 10 ist in Höhe des Förderbandes 13 und unmittelbar neben diesem angeordnet. Sie besteht aus einer Tragvorrichtung 14, beispielsweise aus einer Tischplatte, die um zwei zueinander senkrechte Achsen 15 und 16 in einem Traggestell 29 in Richtung der Pfeile 17 und 18 schwenkbar ist, und in jeder Schwenklage festgestellt werden kann. Auf der Oberfläche 19 der Tragvorrichtung 14 ist ein Zellenrad 20 um eine zur Oberfläche 19 senkrechte Achse 21 in der Nähe des dem Förderer 13 zugewandten Randes 22 der Tragvorrichtung drehbar gelagert, das von einem hier nicht mehr dargestellten Schrittschaltwerk drehend angetrieben und schrittweise weitergeschaltet werden kann.The attachment device 10 is arranged at the level of the conveyor belt 13 and directly next to it. It consists of a support device 14, for example a table top, which can be pivoted about two mutually perpendicular axes 15 and 16 in a support frame 29 in the direction of the arrows 17 and 18, and can be fixed in any pivot position. On the surface 19 of the carrying device 14, a cellular wheel 20 is rotatably mounted about an axis 21 perpendicular to the surface 19 in the vicinity of the edge 22 of the carrying device facing the conveyor 13, which can be driven in rotation by a step-by-step mechanism, which is no longer shown here, and can be indexed step by step.

Im Zellenrad 20 werden die Trinkhalme 11 zugeführt, die in Papierhüllen 23 stecken, welche einen zunächst zusammenhängenden Streifen 24 bilden, der von einer Vorratsrolle 25 über Umlenkrollen 26 und 27 abgezogen und dem Zellenrad 20 zugeführt wird. Die Vorratsrolle 25 und die eine Umlenkrolle 26 sind auf einem Tragarm 28 drehbar gelagert, der auf der Oberfläche 19 der Tragvorrichtung 14 befestigt ist (Fig. 2 und 3), während die Umlenkrolle 27 parallel zum Zellenrad 20 auf der Oberfläche 19 der Tragvorrichtung 14 drehbar gelagert ist. Das Zellenrad 20, die Umlenkrollen 26 und 27 und die Vorratsrolle 25 bilden zusammen die Vorschubeinrichtung 30. Sie verändern ihre gegenseitige Lage nicht, wenn die Tragvorrichtung 14 um die Achsen 15 und 16 geschwenkt wird.In the cell wheel 20, the straws 11 are fed, which are inserted in paper sleeves 23, which form an initially coherent strip 24, which is drawn off from a supply roll 25 via deflection rolls 26 and 27 and is fed to the cell wheel 20. The supply roll 25 and the one deflection roller 26 are rotatably mounted on a support arm 28 which is fastened on the surface 19 of the support device 14 (FIGS. 2 and 3), while the deflection roller 27 is rotatable parallel to the cell wheel 20 on the surface 19 of the support device 14 is stored. The cellular wheel 20, the deflection rollers 26 and 27 and the supply roller 25 together form the feed device 30. They do not change their mutual position when the carrying device 14 is pivoted about the axes 15 and 16.

Das Zellenrad 20 ist in den Fig. 5 und 6 näher dargestellt. Es besteht aus einem zylindrischen Körper 31, der an seinem Außenumfang 32 eine Vielzahl von in Umfangsrichtung im Abstand voneinander angeordneten Zellen 33 aufweist, die im Querschnitt halbkreisförmig ausgebildet und dem Querschnitt der Trinkhalme 11 angepaßt sind. Der Abstand a der Zellen in Umfangsrichtung entspricht dem Abstand a der Trinkhalme 11, die in dem Papierband 24 eingeschlossen sind, das von der Vorratsrolle 25 abgezogen wird, so daß sich die von den Papierstreifen 24 umschlossenen Trinkhalme 11 einer nach dem anderen in die Zellen 33 des Zellenrades legen, wenn das Band 24 zwischen dem Außenumfang 32 des Zellenrades und einer an dessen Außenumfang 32 anliegenden Andrückplatte 34 einläuft.The cellular wheel 20 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 5 and 6. It consists of a cylindrical body 31 which has on its outer circumference 32 a multiplicity of cells 33 which are arranged at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction and which are semicircular in cross section and the cross section the straws 11 are adapted. The distance a of the cells in the circumferential direction corresponds to the distance a of the drinking straws 11, which are enclosed in the paper tape 24, which is drawn off from the supply roll 25, so that the drinking straws 11 enclosed by the paper strips 24 one after the other into the cells 33 of the cellular wheel when the band 24 runs in between the outer circumference 32 of the cellular wheel and a pressure plate 34 abutting its outer circumference 32.

Jede Zelle 33 steht über Radialbohrungen 35 und Axialbohrungen 36 mit einer Unterdruckkammer 37 in Verbindung, die über eine Vakuumleitung 38 an einen hier nicht mehr dargestellten Unterdruckerzeuger angeschlossen ist.Each cell 33 is connected via radial bores 35 and axial bores 36 to a vacuum chamber 37, which is connected via a vacuum line 38 to a vacuum generator, which is no longer shown here.

Das Zellenrad 20 ist außerdem mit zwei im axialen Abstand voneinander angeordneten, randoffenen Umfangsnuten 39 versehen, die tiefer sind als die Zellen 33. In diesen Umfangsnuten 39 können die beiden Enden 40 des einen, gabelförmigen Armes 41 a eines Applizierhebels 41 gleiten, der weiter unten noch näher erläutert werden wird.The cellular wheel 20 is also provided with two axially spaced, edge-open circumferential grooves 39, which are deeper than the cells 33. In these circumferential grooves 39, the two ends 40 of the one fork-shaped arm 41 a of an application lever 41 can slide, which is further below will be explained in more detail.

Zwischen den Zellen 33 hat das Zellenrad 20 auf seiner äußeren Umfangsfläche 32 in Axialrichtung verlaufende Rinnen 42 (Fig.6), in die das Messerblatt 43 eines schwenkbaren Abschneidemessers 44 eintreten kann, welches neben dem Zellenrad 20 auf der Oberfläche 19 der Tragvorrichtung 14 um eine Achse 45 schwenkbar gelagert ist und dessen Messerblatt 43 einen Schlitz 46 in der Andrückplatte 34 durchgreift. Das Abschneidemesser 44 dient dazu, das durchlaufende Papierband 24, in dem die Trinkhalme 11 eingeschlossen sind, in einzelne Papierstreifen 23 zu zerschneiden, mit denen jeder Trinkhalm 11 auf einer Pakkung 12 angeklebt wird.Between the cells 33, the cellular wheel 20 has on its outer circumferential surface 32 grooves 42 (FIG. 6) which run in the axial direction and into which the knife blade 43 of a pivotable cutting knife 44 can enter, which is adjacent to the cellular wheel 20 on the surface 19 of the carrying device 14 by one Axis 45 is pivotally mounted and the blade 43 extends through a slot 46 in the pressure plate 34. The cutting knife 44 serves to cut the continuous paper tape 24, in which the drinking straws 11 are enclosed, into individual paper strips 23, with which each drinking straw 11 is glued to a package 12.

Man erkennt aus Fig. 6, daß auch die Andrückplatte 34 an einem Hebel 47 sitzt, der in der Tragvorrichtung 14 um eine Achse 48 schwenkbar gelagert ist und federnd gegen den Aßßenumfang des Zellenrades 20 gedrückt wird.It can be seen from FIG. 6 that the pressure plate 3 4 is also seated on a lever 47 which is pivotally mounted in the carrying device 14 about an axis 4 8 and is pressed resiliently against the outer circumference of the cellular wheel 20.

Der weiter oben bereits erwähnte Applizierhebel 41 ist ein zweiarmiger Kipphebel, der mit einer Welle 49 neben dem Zellenrad 20 auf der Oberfläche 19 der Tragvorrichtung schwenkbar gelagert ist. Der eine Arm 41 a erstreckt sich etwa parallel zum Förderer 13, ist gabelförmig ausgebildet und greift mit seinen beiden vorderen Enden 40 in die randoffenen Umfangsnuten 39 des Zellenrades 20 derart ein, daß er hinter den in den Kerben 33 durch Unterdruck gehaltenen Trinkhalmen '11 liegt, wenn sich das Zellenrad 20 in Richtung des Pfeiles 50 dreht. Der andere Arm 41 b des Applizierhebels41 steht unter der Wirkung einer Zugfeder 51, die bestrebt ist, den Applizierhebel 41 in Fig. 6 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn zu schwenken und die das freie Ende 52 des Armes 41 b des Applizierhebels 41 gegen den Rand 53 der Ausströmöffnung 54 einer Luftdüse 55 drückt. Die Luftdüse 55 ist an eine hier nicht mehr dargestellte Druckluftquelle mit steuerbarem Absperrventil angeschlossen, durch welches Druckluft in kurzen Stößen durch die Luftdüse 55 gegen das Ende 52 des Armes41 b des Applizierhebels 41 geblasen werden kann. Das Absperrventil wird von einem Sensor 56, beispielsweise einer Photozelle gesteuert (Fig. 1 und 4), die oberhalb des Förderers 13 im Bereich der Anbringvorrichtung 10 angeordnet ist und die jeweils an ihr vorbeilaufende Packungen 12 erkennt und einen Steuerimpuls, ggf. mit vorher eingestellter Verzögerung, dem Luftventil zuleitet, so daß sich dieses kurzzeitig öffnet und durch die Düse 55 einen Druckluftstoß austreten läßt, der den Applizierhebel 41 entgegen der Wirkung der Feder 51 im Uhrzeigersinne verschwenkt, wobei die vorderen, gabelartigen Enden 40 des Armes 41 a des Applizierhebels 41 von innen gegen den am weitesten vorne liegenden Trinkhalm 11 schlagen und diesen mit seiner Hölle 23 gegen die gerade an ihm vorbeigeführte Packung 12 schlagen.The application lever 41 already mentioned above is a two-armed rocker arm which is pivotably mounted on the surface 19 of the carrying device with a shaft 49 next to the cellular wheel 20. One arm 41a extends approximately parallel to the conveyor 13, is fork-shaped and engages with its two front ends 40 in the peripheral grooves 39 of the cellular wheel 20 which are open at the edge in such a way that it lies behind the drinking straws '11 held in the notches 33 by vacuum when the cellular wheel 20 rotates in the direction of arrow 50. The other arm 41 b of the application lever 41 is under the action of a tension spring 51, which tends to pivot the application lever 41 in FIG. 6 counterclockwise and the free end 52 of the arm 41 b of the application lever 41 against the edge 53 of the outflow opening 54 of an air nozzle 55 presses. The air nozzle 55 is connected to a compressed air source, which is no longer shown here, with a controllable shut-off valve, through which compressed air can be blown in short bursts through the air nozzle 55 against the end 52 of the arm 41 b of the application lever 41. The shut-off valve is controlled by a sensor 56, for example a photocell (FIGS. 1 and 4), which is arranged above the conveyor 13 in the area of the attachment device 10 and which detects packs 12 passing by it and a control pulse, possibly with a previously set one Delay, the air valve so that it opens for a short time and a jet of compressed air can emerge through the nozzle 55, which pivots the application lever 41 counterclockwise against the action of the spring 51, the front, fork-like ends 40 of the arm 41 a of the application lever 41 strike from the inside against the most forward-looking drinking straw 11 and hit it with its hell 23 against the pack 12 just passed by it.

In Vorschubrichtung des Förderers 13 vor der Anbringvorrichtung 10 ist eine hier nicht näher dargestellte Leimauftragvorrichtung 57 neben der Pörderer 13 angeordnet, die durch zwei Düsen 58 zwei Leimpunkte 59 auf die der Anbringvorrichtung 10 zugewandte Seitenfläche 60 der vorbeigeführten Packung 12 spritzt, wenn dessen Vorderkante den Lichtstrahl einer Photozelle 61 passiert, welche die Leimauftragvorrichtung 57 einschaltet.In the feed direction of the conveyor 13 in front of the attachment device 10, a glue application device 57, not shown here, is arranged next to the conveyor 13, which leads two glue points 59 through two nozzles 58 onto the side surface 60 of the attachment device 10 facing the attachment device 10 Pack 12 sprays when its front edge passes the light beam from a photocell 61 which switches on the glue application device 57.

Die Wirkungsweise der Vorrichtung ist folgende:

  • Wie bereits weiter oben erwähnt, werden die Packungen 12, die in unregelmäßigen Abständen auf dem Förderer 13 liegen, von diesem mit gleichbleibender Geschwindigkeit in Richtung der Pfeile 65 an der Anbringvorrichtung 10 vorbeigeführt. Wenn eine Packung 12 an der Leimstation 57 vorbeikommt und die Photozelle 61 ihre Vorderkante erfaßt, werden durch die Leimdüsen 58 zwei Leimpunkte 59 auf die Seitenfläche 60 der Packung gespritzt. Die Leimpunkte werden hierbei so angeordnet, daß sie sich in der vorderen unteren und hinteren oberen Ecke der Seitenfläche 60 befinden, da die Länge des Trinkhalmes 11 etwas größer ist als die Höhe der Packung und deshalb diagonal auf die Seitenfläche aufgeklebt werden muß, wenn sie über den Außenumfang der Packung 12 nicht vorstehen soll.
The device works as follows:
  • As already mentioned above, the packs 12, which lie at irregular intervals on the conveyor 13, are guided by the conveyor device 10 at a constant speed in the direction of the arrows 65. When a pack 12 passes the glue station 57 and the photocell 61 detects its front edge, two glue points 59 are sprayed onto the side surface 60 of the pack through the glue nozzles 58. The glue spots are arranged so that they are located in the front lower and rear upper corner of the side surface 60, since the length of the drinking straw 11 is slightly larger than the height of the pack and must therefore be glued diagonally to the side surface if it is over the outer circumference of the pack 12 should not protrude.

Die mit den Leimpunkten 59 versehene Packung gelangt dann in den Bereich der Anbringvorrichtung 10. Hier sind die auf die Packungen aufzuklebenden, in ihrer Papierhülle 23 befindlichen Trinkhalme 11 am Zellenrad bereitgestellt. Das von der Vorratsrolle 25 kommende Band 24 wurde mit Hilfe der Abschneideinrichtung 44 in einzelne Papierstreifen zerschnitten, von denen jeder einen Trinkhalm 11 umschließt und in einer der auf dem Umfang 32 angeordneten Zellen 33 durch Unterdruck festgehalten wird.The pack provided with the glue dots 59 then reaches the area of the attachment device 10. Here the drinking straws 11, which are to be glued to the packs and are in their paper cover 23, are provided on the cell wheel. The tape 24 coming from the supply roll 25 was cut with the aid of the cutting device 44 into individual strips of paper, each of which encloses a drinking straw 11 and is held in place in one of the cells 33 arranged on the circumference 32 by negative pressure.

Sobald die Vorderkante einer Packung 12 die Photozelle 56 erreicht, wird ein Impuls zum nicht dargestellten Druckluftventil geleitet, welches aus der Düse 55 einen Luftstoß austreten läßt, der den Applizierhebel 41 entgegen der Wirkung der Feder 51 verschwenkt. Hierbei schlagen die beiden vorderen Enden 40 des gabelförmigen Armes 41 a des Applizierhebeln 41 von hinten gegen den der Packung 12 gegenüberliegenden Trinkhalm 11 und schleudern diesen gegen die Seitenfläche 60 der dem Zellenrad 20 gegenüberstehenden Packung 12, die an ihrer gegenüberliegenden Seitenfläche 66 von einer Führungsschiene 67 abgestützt wird, die am Förderer 13 be- a festigt ist.As soon as the front edge of a pack 12 reaches the photocell 56, an impulse is passed to the compressed air valve, not shown, which causes an air blast to emerge from the nozzle 55, which pivots the application lever 41 against the action of the spring 51. Here strike the two front ends 40 of the fork-shaped arm 41 a of the applier lever 41 from behind against the package 12 opposite the drinking straw 11 and fling them, the loading on the conveyor 13 a is fastened against the side surface 60 of the star feeder 20 opposite pack 12, which is supported at its opposite side surface 66 of a guide rail 67th

Sobald der Luftstoß aus der Luftdüse 55 vergangen ist, zieht die Feder 51 den Applizierhebel 41 in seine Ausgangslage zurück, in der das freie Ende 52 seinesArmes 41 b wieder am Rand 53 der Ausströmöffnung 54 der Luftdüse 55 anliegt. Das Zellenrad 20 wird dann von seinem Drehantrieb um eine Zellenteilung in Umfangsrichtung weitergeschaltet, so daß der nächstfolgende Trinkhalm 11 in eine zum Förderer 13 parallele Lage gelangt und die nächste Trinkhalmhülla 23 durch die Abschneidevorrichtung 44 von dem von der Vorratsrolle 25 kommenden Band 24 abgeschnitten werden kann.As soon as the air blast from the air nozzle 55 has passed, the spring 51 pulls the application lever 41 back into its starting position, in which the free end 52 of its arm 41 b again bears against the edge 53 of the outflow opening 54 of the air nozzle 55. The cellular wheel 20 is then advanced by its rotary drive by one cell division in the circumferential direction, so that the next straw 11 comes into a position parallel to the conveyor 13 and the next straw shell 23 can be cut off by the cutting device 44 from the band 24 coming from the supply roll 25 .

Man erkennt insbesondere aus den Fig. 2, 7 und 8, daß die Anbringvorrichtung 10 um die Achse 15 so geschwenkt werden kann, daß das Zellenrad 20 mit dem Applizierhebel 41 verschiedene Neigungen α zu einer Horizontalen einnimmt, die verschiedenen Diagonalrichtungen auf verschieden hohen Pakkungen entsprechen.It can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2, 7 and 8 that the attachment device 10 can be pivoted about the axis 15 in such a way that the cellular wheel 20 with the application lever 41 assumes different inclinations α to a horizontal which correspond to different diagonal directions on packings of different heights .

In Fig. 9 ist gezeigt, daß es auch möglich ist, Gegenstände auf Packungen anzubringen, deren Seitenflächen 60 gggen die Grundfläche geneigt sind. In diesem Falle muß die Tragvorrichtung 14 um ihre Achse 16 so geschwenkt werden, daß die Oberseite 19 der Tragvorrichtung 14 mit einer horizontalen Ebene den Winkel β einschließt.In Fig. 9 it is shown that it is also possible to apply objects to packs whose side surfaces 60 are inclined towards the base surface. In this case, the support device 14 must be pivoted about its axis 16 so that the top 19 of the support device 14 includes the angle β with a horizontal plane.

Bei der in Fig. 10 dargestellten anderen Ausführungsform der Anbringvorrichtung besteht das Applizierelement aus einem Applizierstößel 68, dessen Schaft 69 in einer auf der Tra-gvorrichtung 14 gelagerten Konsole 70 axial verschieblich gelagert ist und der an seinem vorderen, dem Förderer 13 zugewandten Ende 69 a ein Vorschubelement 71 und an seinem hinteren Ende 69 b eine Stauplatte 72 trägt, welche die Ausströmöffnung 54 der Luftdüse 55 verschließt. Das Vorschub element 71 ist bei der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform als Gabelarm ausgebildet, dessen eines, gabelförmiges Ende 71 a in den beiden Umfangsnuten 39 des Zellenrades 20 gleitat und an dessen anderem Ende 71 b eine Pückzugfeder 51 angreift, die bestrebt ist, den Applizierstößel 68 entgegen seiner Vorschubrichtung 73 zurückzuziehen und mit der Stauplatte 72 gegen die Ausströmöffnung 54 des Luftventils 55 zu drücken. Um den Applizierstößel 68 symmetrisch zu belasten, können auch zwei Federn 51 vorgesehen sein, die auf beiden Seiten des Stößelschaftes 69 und in gleichem Abstand von diesem am Vorschubelement 71 angreifen.In the other embodiment of the attachment device shown in FIG. 10, the application element consists of an application plunger 68, the shaft 69 of which is axially displaceably mounted in a bracket 70 mounted on the support device 14 and the end 69 a on its front end facing the conveyor 13 a feed element 71 and at its rear end 69 b carries a baffle plate 72 which closes the outflow opening 54 of the air nozzle 55. The feed element 71 is formed in the embodiment shown here as a fork arm, one, fork-shaped end 71 a in the two circumferential grooves 39 of the cellular wheel 20 and at the other end 71 b a pick-up spring 51 engages, which strives to counter the application plunger 68 retract its direction of advance 73 and press with the baffle plate 72 against the outflow opening 54 of the air valve 55. In order to load the application plunger 68 symmetrically, two springs 51 can also be provided, which act on both sides of the plunger shaft 69 and at the same distance from it on the feed element 71.

Wenn eine Packung 12 am Zellenrad 20 vorbeiläuft und die Pnotozelle 56 die Luftdüse 55 kurzfristig öffnet, wird die Stauplatte 72 von einem Luftstoß angeblasen, der den Applizierstößel 68 in Richtung des Pfeiles 73 und entgegen der Wirkung der Feder 51 schlagartig verschiebt. Das vordere Ende 71 a des Vorschubelementes 71 greift hierbei hinter den bereit-gestellten Halm und schleudert ihn gegen die Packung 12, wo er mit seiner Papierhülle 23 an den vorher auf der Packung 12 aufgebrachten Leimpunkten 59 anklebt.When a pack 12 runs past the cellular wheel 20 and the pnotocell 56 briefly opens the air nozzle 55, the baffle plate 72 is blown by an air blast which suddenly displaces the application plunger 68 in the direction of the arrow 73 and against the action of the spring 51. The front end 71 a of the feed element 71 grips behind the provided straw and hurls it against the pack 12, where it sticks with its paper sleeve 23 to the glue points 59 previously applied to the pack 12.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt, sondern es sind mehrere Änderungen und Ergänzungen möglich, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlassen. Beispielsweise können mit der dargestellten Vorrichtung nicht nur Trinkhalme, sondern auch andere Gegenstände, wie Etiketten, Werbeartikel od. dgl. auf Packungen, Flaschen oder andere Objekte aufgeklebt werden. Hierbei spielt die äußere Gestalt der Objekte keine Rolle, da es möglich ist, die Anbringvorrichtung um zueinander senkrechte Achsen zu schwenken, um hierdurch die anzubringenden Gegenstände in dine Lage zu bringen, die der Oberfläche der Objekte parallel ist, auf der die Gegenstände appliziert werden sollen. Es ist auch nicht unbedingt erforderlich, auf die Objekte Leimpunkte aufzubringen, sondern die anzubringenden Gegenstände können auch mit einer selbstklebenden Beschichtung versehen sein, so daß sie unmittelbar auf den Objekten haften, wenn sie von dem Applizierhebel gegen sie geschleudert werden. Ferner ist es möglich, für die Bereitstellung der zu applizierenden Gegenstände eine andere Vorrichtung vorzusehen und als Stoßvorrichtung einen mechanisch, elektrisch oder pneumatish betätigten Stößel zu verwenden.The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown, but several changes and additions are possible without leaving the scope of the invention. For example, not only drinking straws but also other objects, such as labels, promotional items or the like, can be glued to packages, bottles or other objects with the device shown. The outer shape of the objects is of no importance here, since it is possible to pivot the attachment device about axes perpendicular to one another in order to thereby bring the objects to be attached into a position that is parallel to the surface of the objects on which the objects are to be applied . It is also not absolutely necessary on the objects Apply glue spots, but the objects to be attached can also be provided with a self-adhesive coating so that they adhere directly to the objects when they are thrown against them by the application lever. Furthermore, it is possible to provide another device for the provision of the objects to be applied and to use a mechanically, electrically or pneumatically actuated plunger as the pushing device.
