Abstract
An apparatus for forming a bending crease in corrugated paperboard includes a circumferential portion of a wheel. The circumferential portion has a width and a peripheral surface positioned to compressively rollably receive a corrugated paperboard between the surface of the wheel and a support surface. The circumferential portion includes a protrusion extending radially outward from the circumferential portion greater than 0.070 inch. The protrusion extends radially outward from a base to a tip opposite the peripheral surface, the tip having a width less than the width of the base. The protrusion is configured to form a crease in the corrugated paperboard, the crease having sufficient depth and a width less than or equal to the width of the base, thereby resulting in a bend line formed in the corrugated paperboard that is substantially coincident with the formed crease.
Description
- The present invention relates to apparatus associated with manufacturing paperboard and articles therefrom, and more specifically, to apparatus associated with manufacturing corrugated paperboard and articles therefrom.
- Corrugated paperboard is commonly used, such as in the manufacture of regular slotted containers (RSCs) that are conventionally provided for shipping of product in a retail environment to prospective customers. Corrugated paperboard is typically manufactured on large high-precision machinery lines called corrugators. Creasing or scoring and cutting of RSC blanks can occur in-line with the corrugator or can be sent to separate manufacturing areas or facilities. Creasing or scoring is performed to provide controlled bending of the corrugated paperboard, and it is extremely important that the ensuing bends substantially coincide with the creases for the RSC to be usable and function as intended.
- The achievement of forming acceptable bends in corrugated paperboard during their manufacture continue to present challenges. For example, conventional apparatus often referred to as creasers consist of a rotating wheel 10 (
FIG. 1 ) having awidth 22 and scoring profile taken along line of sight 2-2 ofFIG. 1 , such as shown inFIG. 2 .FIG. 2 shows a conventionalrectangular protrusion 12 extending radially outwardly from ashoulder 16, terminating at atip 14 having aheight 18 of 0.070 inches. Thesquared tip 14 is brought into compressive contact with the linerboard to form the crease or score in the corrugated paperboard, the linerboard being the flat sheets that comprise the outer surfaces of a sheet of corrugated paperboard that surround and are bonded to the corrugated or fluted paperboard. While theheight 18 oftip 14 is limited to avoid tearing of the linerboard brought into contact with thetip 14, formed creases of insufficient depth in the corrugated paperboard are more likely to produce unacceptable bends in the corrugated paperboard, resulting in the scrapping of the manufactured RSC. - However, increasing the depth of the crease formed in the corrugated paperboard, especially when working with double wall corrugated paperboard (
FIG. 3 ) creates other challenges. As further shown inFIG. 3 , increasing the crease depth to an extent greater than theheight 18 oftip 14,shoulder 16 of thecreaser wheel 10 forms a crushedregion 26 in thecorrugated paperboard 20, the crushedregion 26 having adepth 24 and awidth 22 that is much wider than the width of the crease formed bytip 14. As a result of the widened crushedregion 26, despite the increased crease depth formed incorrugated paperboard 20, which is the sum ofheight 18 anddepth 24, the formed bend associated with this crease is much more likely to be unacceptable, as the formed bend is much more likely to deviate from the desired bend line defined bytip 14. - An apparatus and method for forming creases in corrugated paperboard that provides an improvement in the number of acceptable bends and thereby reducing scrapping is desirable in the art.
- In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus for forming a bending crease in corrugated paperboard includes a circumferential portion of a wheel. The circumferential portion has a width and a peripheral surface positioned to compressively rollably receive a corrugated paperboard between the surface of the wheel and a support surface. The circumferential portion includes a protrusion extending radially outward from the circumferential portion greater than 0.070 inch. The protrusion extends radially outward from a base to a tip opposite the peripheral surface, the tip having a width less than the width of the base. The protrusion is configured to form a crease in the corrugated paperboard, the crease having sufficient depth and a width less than or equal to the width of the base, thereby resulting in a bend line formed in the corrugated paperboard that is substantially coincident with the formed crease.
- In another exemplary embodiment, a system for forming a bending crease in corrugated paperboard includes a wheel having a circumferential portion. The circumferential portion has a width and a peripheral surface positioned to compressively rollably receive a corrugated paperboard between the surface of the wheel and a support surface. The circumferential portion includes a protrusion extending radially outward from the circumferential portion greater than 0.070 inch. At least a portion of the tip the protrusion has a width less than the width of the circumferential portion. The protrusion is configured to form a crease in the segment of corrugated paperboard. The crease has sufficient depth and a width less than the width of the circumferential portion, thereby resulting in a bend line formed in the segment of corrugated paperboard that is substantially coincident with the formed crease.
- In another exemplary embodiment, a method for forming a bending crease in corrugated paperboard includes providing a wheel having a circumferential portion. The circumferential portion has a width and a peripheral surface positioned to compressively rollably receive a corrugated paperboard between the surface of the wheel and a support surface. The circumferential portion includes a protrusion extending radially outward from the circumferential portion greater than 0.070 inch. At least a portion of the tip the protrusion has a width less than the width of the circumferential portion. The protrusion is configured to form a crease in the segment of corrugated paperboard. The crease has sufficient depth and a width less than the width of the circumferential portion, thereby resulting in a bend line formed in the segment of corrugated paperboard that is substantially coincident with the formed crease. The method further includes directing the corrugated paperboard between the protrusion and the support surface to form the crease.

As yet further shown inFIG. 5 , shoulders 64 form anobtuse angle 76 subtended between the surfaces ofshoulder 64 and corresponding surfaces ofprotrusion 58, permitting a reduced crushed region of corrugated paperboard (as compared to crushedregion 26 ofFIG. 3 ) in instances in which the depth of a crease formed in corrugated paperboard is greater thanlength 72 ofprotrusion 58. In other embodiments, opposedshoulders 64 can be parallel to one another and/or perpendicular to the outer surface ofprotrusion 58. As shown inFIG. 5 ,protrusion 58 includes ataper 75 betweenbase 66 andtip 60. That is,tip 60 has a width less thanwidth 68 ofbase 66. In one embodiment, such as shown inFIG. 5 thetaper 75 extends substantially linearly betweenbase 66 andtip 60. In another embodiment, thetaper 75 can extend nonlinearly betweenbase 66 andtip 60. In one embodiment, at least a portion of a profile oftip 60 includes a curve, and in another embodiment, the curve includes a radius.
