Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Tampons, insbesondere fürDevice for manufacturing tampons, in particular for

die Frauenhygienefeminine hygiene

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Tampons, insbesondere für die Frauenhygiene, durch radiales Pressen von aus einem gewickelten Wattevlies bestehenden, im Querschnitt im wesentlichen zylindrischen Rohlingen, wobei mindestens vier in einer senkrechten, quer zur Längsachse des zu pressenden Rohlings gerichteten Ebene bewegbare Pressbacken angeordnet sind, die in Umfangsrichtung abwechselnd mit Presskanten und teilzylindrischen Pressflächen versehen sind, wobei die Pressbacken mit Presskanten und die Pressbacken mit Presaflächen sowohl gleichzeitig als auch nacheinander konzentrisch bewegbar sind.The invention relates to a device for producing tampons, in particular for feminine hygiene, by radial means Pressing of blanks consisting of a wound fleece, essentially cylindrical in cross-section, with at least four in a perpendicular, transverse to the longitudinal axis the plane to be pressed facing movable pressing jaws are arranged, which alternate in the circumferential direction are provided with pressing edges and partially cylindrical pressing surfaces, the pressing jaws with pressing edges and the Press jaws with Presa surfaces can be moved concentrically both simultaneously and one after the other.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung dieser bekannten Gattung derart zu verbessern, dass der Tampon als Massen- und Karkenartikel eine hohe und möglichst gleichmässige Standfestigkeit aufweist, die für das sichere Einführen eines Tampons in eine Körperhöhle eine notwendige Voraussetzung bildet.The invention is based on the object of improving a device of this known type in such a way that the tampon As a mass-produced and raked article, it has a high and as uniform stability as possible, which is essential for the safe Inserting a tampon into a body cavity forms a necessary requirement.

Die Erfindung kennzeichnet sich zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dadurch, dass im Sinne einer Zentrierung des Rohlings zwischen den Pressbacken nur eine gleichzeitige konzentrische Zustellbewegung sämtlicher Pressbacken bis auf etwa denThe invention is characterized to solve this problem in that in the sense of a centering of the blank between the press jaws only a simultaneous concentric feed movement of all press jaws except for about the

Durchmesser des Tamponrohlings und erst anschliessend die eigentliche konzentrische Pressbewegung der mit Presskanten versehenen Pressbacken und daraufhin der Pressbacken mit teilzylindrischen Pressflächen bis auf das Endmass des fertigen Tampons vorgesehen ist.Diameter of the tampon blank and only then the actual concentric pressing movement of the pressing jaws provided with pressing edges and then the pressing jaws with partially cylindrical pressing surfaces up to the final dimension of the finished tampon.

Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, dass durch die zu- / nächst gleichzeitige Schliessbewegung sämtlicher Pressbacken bis auf etwa den Durchmesser des Tamponrohlings eine so weitgehende Zentrierung des Rohlings in den Pressbacken vor sich geht, dass das einseitige Erfassen der Unterseite des Tamponrohlings durch die den Rohling abstützenden unteren Pressbacken und ein dadurch verursachtes einseitiges und vorzeitiges Einklemmen des Rohlings längs einer Mantellinie desselben vermieden wird. Vielmehr wird das Material gemäss der Erfindung konzentrisch, d. h. gleichmässig zur Mittellängsachse, des Tampons hin derart verdichtet, dass der Bereich höchster Festigkeit mit der Mittellängsachse des Tampons zusammenfällt und nicht durch das vorzeitige Zusammenpressen des Rohlings an Teilen seines Umfangs an die Peripherie des Tampons derart verlegt wird, dass dieser beim Versuch, ihn einzuführen, vorher abknickt und dadurch die Manipulation erschwert, wenn nicht unmöglich macht.The invention is based on the knowledge that due to the initially / next simultaneous closing movement of all pressing jaws up to approximately the diameter of the tampon blank, the blank is centered in the pressing jaws to such an extent that the underside of the tampon blank is grasped on one side by the blank supporting lower press jaws and a one-sided and premature clamping of the blank along a surface line caused thereby is avoided. Rather, the material according to the invention is compacted concentrically, ie evenly to the central longitudinal axis, of the tampon in such a way that the area of highest strength coincides with the central longitudinal axis of the tampon and is not relocated to the periphery of the tampon due to the premature compression of the blank on parts of its circumference It becomes clear that when you try to insert it, it kinks beforehand and thereby makes manipulation more difficult, if not impossible.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung beispielsweise veranschaulicht. The invention is illustrated by way of example in the drawing.

Fig. 1 zeigt die Pressbacken nach der Beendigung des gemeinsamen Schliessvorgangs bis etwa auf den Durchmesser des Tamponrohlings,Fig. 1 shows the press jaws after the end of the common closing process up to about the diameter of the tampon blank,

Fig. 2 die mit Presskanten versehenen Pressbacken am Ende ihrer Schliessbewegung bis auf das Bndmass und2 shows the press jaws provided with press edges at the end of their closing movement down to the volume and

In den Figuren iet die Pressform einer Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Tampons für die Frauenhygiene durch radiales Pressen von aus einem gewickelten Wattevlies bestehenden Rohlingen 1 veranschaulicht. Die Pressform besteht aus beispielsweise vier spitzen Pressbäcken 2, die in Umfangsrichtung des Rohlings 1 mit Pressbacken 3 abwechseln, die teilzylindrische Pressflächen aufweisen.In the figures, the die iet an apparatus for manufacturing of tampons for feminine hygiene by radially pressing consisting of a wound nonwoven padding blanks 1 illustrates. The press mold consists of, for example, four pointed press jaws 2, which alternate in the circumferential direction of the blank 1 with press jaws 3 which have partially cylindrical press surfaces.

Erfindungsgemäss schliessen zunächst gleichzeitig und mit gleicher Schliessgeschwindigkeit sämtliche Pressbacken 2 und 3 bis etwa auf den Durchmesser des Tamponrohlings 1 konzentrisch zu dessen Achse, wie dies in Fig. 1 veranschaulicht ist. Danach schliessen die mit Presskanten versehenen Press- backen 2 bis auf das Endmasa des Tampons (Fig. 2). Daraufhin werden die Pressbacken 3 mit teilzylindrischen Pressflächen ebenfalls bis auf das Endmas8 des Tampons konzentrisch zur Achse der Pressform gleichzeitig bewegt, wie dies aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht.According to the invention, all pressing jaws 2 and 3 close at the same time and at the same closing speed up to approximately the diameter of the tampon blank 1 concentrically to its axis, as is illustrated in FIG. 1. Thereafter, the pressing is provided with pressing edges close jaws 2 to the Endmasa of the tampon (Fig. 2). Then the pressing jaws 3 with part-cylindrical pressing surfaces are also moved simultaneously concentrically to the axis of the press mold up to the end face 8 of the tampon, as can be seen from FIG. 3.

Die konzentrische erste Schliessbewegung sämtlicher Pressbacken sollte mindestens bis auf den Durchmesser des Tamponrohlings erfolgen, zweckmässig diesen aber noch ein wenig nach unten überschreiten, wie dies aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist.The concentric first closing movement of all pressing jaws should be at least up to the diameter of the tampon blank take place, but expediently exceed this a little downwards, as can be seen from FIG.
