Abstract
Blanks (13) for the production of hinge-lid packs (10) with rounded longitudinal edges (11, 12) are pre-shaped in the region of the longitudinal edges (11, 12). For this purpose, a shaping station (17) is provided, which has two shaping devices (28, 29) which each have shaping tools for pre-shaping the longitudinal edges (11, 12). The centrally supplied blanks (13) are alternately fed to the one and the other shaping device (28, 29), and discharged after shaping.
Claims19
An apparatus for shaping or pre-shaping blanks (13) for packs with rounded or polygonal longitudinal edges (11, 12), said apparatus having a shaping station (17) in which the blanks (13) are shaped by movable shaping tools in conjunction with shaping plates (23), and then are further transported in a longitudinal direction, wherein the shaping station (17) is provided with at least first and second shaping devices (28, 29) having shaping tools, wherein said apparatus comprises means for successively conveying the blanks into the shaping station (17), and for alternately feeding the blanks to said first and second shaping devices (28, 29);
- wherein said first and second shaping devices (28, 29) are arranged next to one another, adjacent to a blank track (20), in a common plane, wherein the blanks (13) are alternately fed to said shaping devices (28, 29) by a transverse movement;
- wherein the blanks (13) arriving at the shaping station are fed to a blank holder (23) in a region of the blank track (20), and are laterally moved with the blank holder to the one or the other of said shaping devices (28, 29).
An apparatus for shaping or pre-shaping blanks (13) for packs with rounded or polygonal longitudinal edges (11, 12), said apparatus having a shaping station (17) in which the blanks (13) are shaped by movable shaping tools in conjunction with shaping plates (23), and then are further transported in a longitudinal direction, wherein the shaping station (17) is provided with at least first and second shaping devices (28, 29) having shaping tools, wherein said apparatus comprises means for successively conveying the blanks into the shaping station (17), and for alternately feeding the blanks to said first and second shaping devices (28, 29);
- wherein said first and second shaping devices (28, 29) are arranged next to one another, opposite sides of a longitudinal blank track (20), in a common plane, wherein the blanks (13) are alternately fed to said shaping devices (28, 29) by a transverse movement;
- and
- wherein said shaping station (17) further comprises means for grasping one of the blanks arriving at the shaping station and for carrying out said transverse movement, relative to the blank track (20), to one or the other of said shaping devices (28, 29).
An apparatus for shaping or pre-shaping blanks (13) for packs, comprising:
- means for feeding the blanks (13), individually and successively, to a shaping station (17) along a longitudinal blank track (20);
- wherein the shaping station (17) comprises two shaping devices (28, 29), one on each side of the blank track (20), for shaping edges of the blanks;
- wherein the shaping station (17) comprises first means for grasping one of the blanks (13) in a region of the blank track (20) and for carrying out a lateral movement, transversely relative to the blank track (20), up to a region of one or the other shading device (28, 29);
- and
- wherein said first means comprises a first and a second shaping plate (23), means for moving the first shaping plate (23) out of a region of the blank track (20) into a region of one of the shaping devices (28) and back into the region of the blank track (20), and for moving the second shaping plate (23) out of the region of the blank track (20) into a region of the other shaping device (29) and back into the region of the blank track (20).
