The invention relates to a method and package for packaging a web. In the method of the invention, a web is slit into two or more narrower webs which are folded into superimposed layers. The method comprises the steps of directing the webs to a nip formed by two rotating reels and by inducing the webs, held alternately against the surfaces of the first and the second reel, to move with the reel the length of a predetermined rotational angle to provide folding, and joining the ends of the webs together so that the webs form a continuous whole whose length corresponds to the combined length of the webs.

A package of strip material includes a plurality of stacks of the strip side by side where each strip forms a stacked fan folded supply of the strip which is spliced to or arranged so that it can be subsequently spliced to a next adjacent strip for supply of a continuous strip from the package. The side by side stacks are simultaneously built up from the bottom by moving a carriage back and forth below a stationary bottom surface of the stacks with the strips supplied side by side through a slot in the carriage. The stacks are supported side by side as they are built up by rigid side walls of a chute or rectangular container into which the package is to be packaged for transportation. Splice tail portions extend from the strips and are supported or arranged so that they are ready for splicing when the package is completed before transportation. Transfer of the completed stacks is effected simultaneously by a slip sheet arrangement or by moving one of the belts of the carriage as an ejection belt. A method for forming a package of a plurality of side-by-side stacks of continuous strips of material in a rectangular container is also provided. Each strip is folded back and forth about first and second fold lines to form a stack of a plurality of folded overlying strip portions which are arranged side-by-side so that the side edges are aligned. The fold lines are transverse to the strip and arranged at opposite ends of the stack. A splice tail portion extending from a first strip end portion of each stack is spliced to a second strip end portion. The stacks are compressed such that their height is equal to that of the container and the splice tail portions remain loose and uncompressed.

A package of a strip of material has a plurality of parallel side by side stacks each containing a length of the strip which is folded back and forth such that each folded portion of the stack is folded relative to the next portion about a line transverse to the strip. Preferably, the side edges of the strip portions are aligned. The strip can be continuous through each stack and connected by a splice from the end of one stack to beginning of the next stack. To reduce the height of the stacks, the package is compressed and maintained in the compressed condition by, for example, an evacuated sealed bag. The strip of each stack is formed to have a varying width, for example to form diaper inserts when the strip is cut into individual strip elements. The length of each strip portion of the stack is arranged to equal a whole number of strip elements so that the cut lines can be arranged at the fold lines. The stacks are arranged with the side edges of the strips aligned and the wider parts of one stack nested within a narrower part of the next adjacent stack to minimize the package dimensions.

A package has at least one stack of a strip of material repeatedly folded back and forth so that the stack contains a plurality of folded overlying strip portions of the strip. Each strip portion is folded relative to one next adjacent strip portion about a first fold line transverse to the strip and relative to a second next adjacent strip portion about a second fold line transverse to the strip and spaced from the first fold line. The strip portions form a plurality of first fold lines at each end of the stack. The stack can be arranged substantially upright and has a splice tail portion of the strip extending from the bottom strip portion beyond an end of the stack to be accessible for splicing. The entire top surface and the entire bottom surface of the stack is compressed from an external force in a direction at right angles to the top surface and the bottom surface of the stack. The stack is engaged by packaging which maintains the compression.

A fan folded product and method for packaging preprinted fan folded cards or other material for attachment and for continuous feeding to a distribution machine. The cards are packaged in a series of rows having multiple stacks of cards in each row. The cards are pre-spliced together between adjacent rows to provide continuous folding of the cards. Alternate rows of cards are reversed fan folded and then packaged so that bottommost cards feed up the side wall of each stack in the opposite direction as the adjacent rows to provide continuous feeding in a serpentine manner of the cards to the distribution machine.

The invention concerns an assembly (A) containing a plurality of stacks of strip shaped material, which is fanfolded in the stacks between a leading end (111a, 112a) in a first end of the stacks and a trailing end (121a, 122a) in a second end of the stacks, and arranged to be able to be fed out through unfolding of the material continuously at least until the assembly has been emptied. The assembly contains two such packs (1, 2) each of which contains a plurality of such stacks (101a-d, 102a-d) arranged side by side. The leading ends and the trailing ends of the strip material of the stacks of the two packs are alternately joined to one another, so that a continuous strip is achieved with a leading end (111a) of the assembly in a first stack of one of the packs and a trailing end (122d) in a last stack of the other pack. The joined strip material sections between the trailing ends of the stacks of the second pack and the leading ends of the stacks of the first pack extend between the joined strip material sections between the trailing ends of the stacks of the first pack and the leading ends of the second pack. A plurality of such assemblies (A) may be spliced to form a multi-assembly.
摘要:
A device and a method are described for folding a flexible material web (1) using at least one pair of counterrotating laying rollers (2, 3), between which the material web may be fed to a folding location (4), the laying rollers (2, 3) being part of a laying carriage (5) which is movable over the folding length (L) of the material web (1) with reversible orientation. The object of the present invention is to guide the material web to the folding location with its position and composition largely unimpaired. This object is achieved in that the laying carriage (3) includes at least two transport bands (6, 7), which rotate around the laying rollers (2, 3) and set them into motion, the material web (1) is transportable at least partially guided between the transport bands (6, 7), and the speed of the material web (1) has the same absolute value as the speed of the transport bands (6, 7).
