    Method and device for fixing a packing slip to a package
    The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for attaching a package slip to a package.
    Packets are attached to parcels and parcels to easily provide information regarding the addressee or content of a parcel without having to open the parcel. They may have information that can be read either by humans or by a machine, and for this reason it is customary to affix the packing slip in such a way that at least some of its contents are directly readable.
    One solution is to provide the package slip in an at least partially transparent envelope on the package or packet. Envelopes according to the prior art are equipped with a transparent window or they are completely transparent. They are attached to the package with an adhesive, which can be previously applied to the envelope, and provided with a protective layer which is peeled off the package prior to adhering the envelope.
    Although these envelopes meet a particular need, they have certain disadvantages. First, they consist of a lot of (plastic) material and, secondly, a lot of (manual) handling is required for their attachment, which slows down automated package handling procedures. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for attaching a package slip to a package that does not have the above disadvantages.
    The invention therefore proposes a device for fixing a packing slip to a package, comprising: means for picking up a covering film on one side along its edges provided with an adhesive; Means for picking up a slip that is less than or equal to the area of the cover sheet within the edges provided with the glue; Means for placing the package slip against the cover sheet in the region of the cover sheet within the edges provided with the adhesive; Means for moving the package and sheet against a package, wherein the adhesive is applied to the box, thereby securing the package to the box and being covered by the film.
    By using a film provided on one side along its edges with an adhesive, which is in particular a monolayer film, a reduction in material consumption compared to the use of an envelope is achieved. In addition, the amount of adhesive required is also reduced if applied only at the edges of a film rather than on a full back of an envelope. The film extends, for example, on all sides by a few millimeters to 1 centimeter over the size of the packing slip and the adhesive is applied to most of the stretch. The packing slip may be provided by a printer and delivered on arrival of a parcel or parcel. Such a parcel or parcel may be an article in a box or an envelope (made of cardboard) or an article to which the parcel is glued directly. The packages, parcels or other items to which the packing slip is to be attached may be handled in an automated system and carried on a conveyor belt or other appropriate packaging handling system.
    In one embodiment, the means for picking up a cover sheet comprises a vacuum suction area. Such a region may allow the film to be lifted only by contact with its side which is not provided with the adhesive, so that the film can not accidentally stick to the means for lifting the film.
    Such a film may be provided on a roll having a length for use on a plurality of packages and provided with rectangular areas provided with adhesive. The film is then cut so that the cut-off part is provided with adhesive along its edges. For this purpose, the device according to the invention may comprise means for removing a quantity from a roll and cutting means for cutting off the film from a roll.
    In a further embodiment, the apparatus may comprise a folding unit for folding the packing slip so that it becomes smaller than or equal to the area of the covering foil within the edges provided with the adhesive. Since the film used may have a predetermined size, the packing slip should be within that size, and especially within the one provided with the adhesive
    Range lie. If the packing slip is larger than this area, it can be folded before it is placed on the cover sheet.
    The means for placing the package sheet against the cover sheet, in the region of the cover sheet within the edges provided with the adhesive, in one embodiment may comprise a frame for supporting the package sheet and / or the film. The frame may be arranged so that the packing slip and the film are in such a mutual orientation that they can be applied directly to a package. This orientation could be, for example, a packing slip centered on the film.
    The means for placing the package sheet against the cover sheet, in the region of the cover sheet within the adhesive provided edges, may comprise at least one clip for clamping the package sheet to the film. In particular, the clip may act on the packing slip and press it against the foil on the suction pad. The clamp may for this purpose be movably arranged with respect to the vacuum suction region and / or it may be arranged for clamping the packing slip and the film to the vacuum suction region. Preferably, the means for placing the package sheet against the cover sheet, in the region of the cover sheet within the edges provided with the adhesive, comprises at least two clamps for clamping the package sheet to the sheet. It has been found that by using at least two clamps, the packing slip is pressed more accurately onto the film and folding / turning over of the packing slip during further processing of the packing slip and the film is prevented.
    The means for moving the package and film against a package wherein the adhesive is applied to the package may include, for example, a movable arm, such as a robotic arm, for moving the vacuum suction area, the rack and the bracket toward a package.
    The apparatus may further comprise a pressure roller for pressing the package and the film against the package. To avoid damage to the package, the pressure applied by the pressure roller can be varied depending on the material used, e.g. depending on the strength of the material from which the package is made, and / or the
    Position of the packing slip in which it is pressed against the package, e.g. to the side of the package or on top of the package. The pressure roller may be movably disposed in the vacuum suction area, the rack and the bracket. The apparatus may then be configured to perform at least a portion of the following steps: conveying a package to a packing slip sticking area;
    Picking up a cover sheet on one side along its glued edges, for example by cutting, e.g. with a wire saw, the foil of a roll;
    Canceling a packing slip that is less than or equal to the area of the cover sheet within the edges provided with the adhesive;
    Placing the packing slip on the cover sheet, in the region of the cover sheet within the edges provided with the adhesive;
    Moving the package and sheet against a package wherein the adhesive is applied to the box, e.g. on the side or top of the box, whereby the package slip is attached to the box and covered by the foil;
    Fixing the packing slip and the film to the package by rolling the pressure roller over the film and the packing slip.
    The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures. In the drawings show:
    FIG. 1 shows a first detail of a device according to the invention;
    FIG. 2 shows a second detail of a device according to the invention; and
    FIG. 3 shows a third detail of a device according to the invention.
    Figure 1 shows a detail of a device 1 for fixing a package to a package, according to the present invention, comprising means for removing an amount of a roll formed by a pair 2, 3 of cooperating grippers for drawing a length of the film 4 from the Roller 5, and cutting means, formed by a wire saw 6, preferably a hot wire, for cutting off the film 4 from a roll 5. The roll 5 comprises a plurality of elongated parts, one behind the other in a row, with each part on one side along its edges 7 provided with an adhesive. On one side means on one of the two surfaces, which is the same side for the entire role, so that a ladder-shaped
    Adhesive pattern is applied to the film to be cut with the steps to form the separate film parts.
    FIG. 2 shows a vacuum suction area 8 for lifting a cover film. The device is designed so that the vacuum suction region 8 can engage in the film on the side opposite to the side comprising the adhesive. The apparatus further comprises means for picking up a packing slip and placing the packing slip on the cover sheet in the region of the cover sheet within the edges provided with the glue. The means for placing the leaflet against the cover sheet, in the region of the cover sheet within the edges provided with the adhesive, comprise a frame 9 for supporting the sheet and / or the foil. The shelf may be formed by a bracket 9 which is movable between a position for engagement with the film and a position 9 '(shown in phantom) for receiving and clamping the package to the film. This position is further visible in FIG. It should be noted that Figure 3 shows two brackets 9, which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
    The packing slip may be prepared by a folding unit (not shown) for folding the packing slip so that it becomes smaller than or equal to the area of the covering foil within the edges provided with the glue.
    FIG. 3 shows that the apparatus comprises a robot arm 10 for moving the vacuum suction area 8, the frame and the bracket 9 toward a package 10 comprising a pressure roller for pressing the package sheet 11 and the film 4 against a package 12. The package is delivered on a conveyor belt 13 to move packages along the means for moving the package sheet 11 and the film 4 against the package.
