Abstract
In connection with the packaging of items or loose material in sheet packings it is known to use a web of cohering flat bag members, which is successively conveyed to a filling station, in which the bag members are opened, one by one, for filling and subsequent closing and separation from the web. The free mouth edges of the bag members or the web are profiled for supported conveyance on opposed carrier rods, tubes or gripping chains which, just before the filling station, diverge from each other for effecting opening of the bag members.
The invention provides for a flat bag web, the upright edge strip portions of which are caused to be folded down over respective opposed carrier chains. These strip portions are prepared with a row of perforations which, by the said down-folding, are moved down into holding contact with holding pins upwardly projecting from the carrier chains, whereby a very safe carrying and conveying engagement is obtained without any special profilation of the mouth edges and with a simple design of the carrier chains.

Description
A method and a system for filling goods in bags from a coher-ent series of bag members The present invention concerns a method and a sys-tem for the packing of items in bags of foil, which in a co-herent web are fed through a filling station in which a fill-ing of the individual bags is effected, and which-are then .closed and separated from the coherent web in the formation of individual packages.
A basic example of this technology is described in EP-696997, where'it is disclosed that the opposing upper edge areas of the bag web are provided with bent-over channel-forming edge parts for drawing in on carrier rods, which in the feeding direction have a mutual enlargement to bring about an opening of the bags, so that these can be filled, e.g. through an overlying filling funnel, after which the carrier rods are again drawn in towards one another for pro-visional closing of the filled bags. The bags can then fi-nally be closed by being welding together down under the said channel part, after which they are cut over and mutually separated. It is disclosed as an alternative that instead of the channel parts, use can be made of thickened edges which can be introduced into slotted carrier tubes for a quite cor-responding feeding forwards of the bags.
There have since been suggested other forms of means used for the gripping and supporting of the opposing upper edges of the bag web, e.g. as disclosed in EP 0 555 321 B, where use is made of special gripping chains for this pur-pose, without any special requirements concerning the con-figuration of the upper edge areas of the folded bags. This is of particular importance, in that as starting point a sim-ple, rolled-up web of flat foil without local thickenings can be used, but on the other hand there are considerable prob-lems both with regard to the control of the opposing bag edges for secure engagement with the gripping chains and with regard to a desirable inexpensive configuration of these chains.
Moreover, in EP 0 825 116 it is disclosed that op-erations can be carried out with a closed, flat tubular web of foil, which can be continuously cut up along its upper edge, with associated integrated folding out and gripping of the upper edges thus cut up, without these being specially configured either as channels or with thickenings, which con-stitutes a distinct simplification of the requirements con-cerning the formation of the bag web. The cut-up upper edge parts are folded out for clamping between respectively moved belts which are provided with longitudinal depressions and corresponding pressing-in strings, whereby a suitably firm support engagement can be established.
However, this engagement is no more firm than axial slipping can occur between the upper edges of the bag web and the associated belt conveyor means, whereby uncertainty can arise concerning the degree to which an item being fed has been fed forward with the conveyor belts in a fully synchro-nous manrier. Moreover, deviations can arise with regard'to the height at which that area of the web sides which are clamped between the conveyor belts lies, which can be of sig-nificance with regard to whether the filled bags are finally closed at precisely the place at which the closure is in-tended, e.g. seen in retation to printing on the bag.
With the present invention, it has been found pos-sible to use the relevant cutting-up and folding-out of the upper edge areas in order to achieve a reliable and quite firm gripping of the edge areas, i.e. when these are provided beforehand with a simple lrow of small holes, and when in the folding-out and the hereto related pressing-down, care is taken that the pressing-down at least of the one side, but preferably at both sides, is effected in such a manner that these holes are placed down over upright holding pins on a feeding chain. In a simple manner, there can hereby be estab-lished a completely firm and well-defined support engagement without the bag being required to have any thickening at the upper edge, and without the carrier chains having to be con-figured in a complicated manner with special, controllable gripping means, in that they merely require to be provided with said upright holding pins. The formation of the edge holes can be effected in a quite simple manner, especially because the holes along the two upper edges areas can be formed in the same operation.
Correspondingly, the carrier chains can thus be moved freely through a sequence in which, in the filling sta-tion, they will draw the folded-out web edges out from each other in such a way that the bags are hereby opened for the filling with products from above or possibly from the side.
Hereafter, the web edges can again be brought together with the view to the final closing and cutting-free of the filled bags. It will be without importance for the feeding accuracy whether a certain pull on the bag web arises during the feed-ing, in that this will safely be fed synchronously with the support chains.
Broadly then in one aspect, the invention provides a method for the packaging of items or loose materials in foil bags which in a coherent web are fed through a filling station in which the mouths of the bags are held open for filling with the items or materials, after which the bags are closed and separated from the web, by which method the bag web is provisionally and along its mouth edges brought into controlled connection with feeding means which are arranged to secure and feed the opposing bag mouth edges along a conveyor through the filling station, wherein in connection with this passage the feeding means force the 3a mouth edges of the bag away from each other for successive opening of the bags in the filling station and, after the filling of the bags, thereafter bring the.mouth edges of the bags together again for the closing of the bags, and by which method the opposing mouth edges of the bags are folded out from each other for successive folding-down on and securing to said feeding means, wherein the mouth edges comprise edge strip areas which are prepared with a series of holes or corresponding star perforations, and wherein the edge strip parts are folded-down and brought into holding engagement with pin parts which stand freely upright on respective carrier chains, whereby the hole areas are successively pressed down over said pins.
The invention also comprises a bag filling'machine .
and a packaging line configured for the execution of the method according to the invention.
In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with refetence to the drawing, in which fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view for the illustration of the invention, fig. 2 is a plan view of a bag web according to the invention, and fig. 3 is a side view of a holding pin used in the system according to fig. 1.

The invention also comprises a bag filling'machine .
and a packaging line configured for the execution of the method according to the invention.
In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with refetence to the drawing, in which fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view for the illustration of the invention, fig. 2 is a plan view of a bag web according to the invention, and fig. 3 is a side view of a holding pin used in the system according to fig. 1.
In fig. 1 it is shown that a web of foil material 4 can be unwound from a supply roll 2, said web consisting of a double foil folded up around a bottom edge 6, and which along the upper edge is closed by a simple welding 8 without any bending-over or thickening of any kind. Therefore, this can also be said to be a tubular foil. In the web there are a number of slots 10 which extend from the bottom edge 6 up to a distance below the top edge 8, so that the web appears with mutually separated bags 12, the side edges of which are closed by welds 14. Just above the top of the slots 10, the double web is cut through at respective horizontal lines 16 which extend a short distance out to both sides of the re-lated slots 10.
Between the top edge 8 and the cut lines 16, the edge portion of the web is broken through by a single row of perforated holes 18.
This forwardly-influence web 4, which instead of being rolled up can best appear in a supply box in zig-zag folded form,. is unwound at a filling aggregate on a support rod or support rail. 20 which extends from a fixed support part 22 of the aggregate and serves for the simple support of the closed top edge 8 of the web 4.
Slightly in front of the support part 22, the sup-port rod 20 has an upwardly-extending knife element 24 which, when the web 4 is pulled forwards, will continuously cut up the upper edge of the web, and hereafter there is arranged a continuing support systam consisting of opposing, parallel chain drives 26 which are provided with upright holding pins 28 for engagement with the holes 18 in the respective upper edge parts 4 laid out to both sides, and by a pressure roller 30 which after the threading-in of the foil web serves to press the said folded-out upper edge areas of the web 4 down against the fixed under-supported carrier chains 26 into horizontal contact against the upper sides of these, and hereby during the swinging-down of the holes 18 in such a manner that the holes 18 are swung down and engage over the chain pins 18. The pressure roller 30 is configured with an-nular grooves 32 to provide free passage for the outer end 5 parts of the chain pins 28, and in these grooves there are bedded transverse pins (not shown) which in a gearwheel-like fashion can co-operate with the chain pins 28 for automatic, synchronous driving of the pressure roller 30.
Hereafter, the opposing upper edge parts of the web 4 will be firmly anchored to the support pins 28, and the carrier chains can thus be controlled forward through a de-sired sequence for successive opening of the bags as indi-cated at 34, and for the closing of the bags after they have been filled. It is not considered necessary to describe this in more detail. However, it should be noted that the pins 28 are disposed in the chains' neutral lines, so that the bag web is not exposed to stretching or slackening during pas-sages with changes in direction.
With a closing of the bags by welding immediately below the top of the slots 10, and possibly a subsequent cut-ting-off, the filled bags are separated from the remaining part of the web which is rolled up as excess material.
It must be mentioned that on the fixed support part 22 it is preferred to place a guiding element with a double-bladed ploughshare shape which actively brings about or ini-tiates the shown folding-out of the.perforated edge areas of the web, whereby improved security can be achieved with re-gard to the essential function, which the controlling down of the holes over the pins 28 constitutes.
In fig. 2 it is shown that instead of said holes 18, it can be preferred to use star-shaped perforations 18', in that in the formation of these there will not be any prob-lems with regard to stamped-out small parts.
Between the top edge 8 and the cut lines 16, the edge portion of the web is broken through by a single row of perforated holes 18.
This forwardly-influence web 4, which instead of being rolled up can best appear in a supply box in zig-zag folded form,. is unwound at a filling aggregate on a support rod or support rail. 20 which extends from a fixed support part 22 of the aggregate and serves for the simple support of the closed top edge 8 of the web 4.
Slightly in front of the support part 22, the sup-port rod 20 has an upwardly-extending knife element 24 which, when the web 4 is pulled forwards, will continuously cut up the upper edge of the web, and hereafter there is arranged a continuing support systam consisting of opposing, parallel chain drives 26 which are provided with upright holding pins 28 for engagement with the holes 18 in the respective upper edge parts 4 laid out to both sides, and by a pressure roller 30 which after the threading-in of the foil web serves to press the said folded-out upper edge areas of the web 4 down against the fixed under-supported carrier chains 26 into horizontal contact against the upper sides of these, and hereby during the swinging-down of the holes 18 in such a manner that the holes 18 are swung down and engage over the chain pins 18. The pressure roller 30 is configured with an-nular grooves 32 to provide free passage for the outer end 5 parts of the chain pins 28, and in these grooves there are bedded transverse pins (not shown) which in a gearwheel-like fashion can co-operate with the chain pins 28 for automatic, synchronous driving of the pressure roller 30.
Hereafter, the opposing upper edge parts of the web 4 will be firmly anchored to the support pins 28, and the carrier chains can thus be controlled forward through a de-sired sequence for successive opening of the bags as indi-cated at 34, and for the closing of the bags after they have been filled.

In fig. 2 it is shown that instead of said holes 18, it can be preferred to use star-shaped perforations 18', in that in the formation of these there will not be any prob-lems with regard to stamped-out small parts.
As indicated in fig. 2, a spot-welding assembly 5 can be effected between the opposing web sides in the part areas in between the bags. The object of these assemblies, which can be pulled apart, is to demarcate an upper longitu-dinal channel for engagement over the support-rod 20 arid the stabilising of the web on this rod.
In fig. 3 it is shown that the pins 28 can be pointed towards the top in order to ensure a more safe en-gagement in the star perforations 18', and also configured with a lower recess 36 which will serve to provide extra re-tention of the web edge area when this has first been brought completely down over the pin.
In fig. 3 it is shown that the pins 28 can be pointed towards the top in order to ensure a more safe en-gagement in the star perforations 18', and also configured with a lower recess 36 which will serve to provide extra re-tention of the web edge area when this has first been brought completely down over the pin.
