Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2020020538A1] The invention relates to a device for attaching handles to packaging or packaging groups. According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a device for attaching handles to packaging or packaging groups by means of which the packaging or packaging groups conveyed on a conveying device in a conveying direction can each be provided with at least one self-adhesive handle. The device comprises, for this purpose, a motor driven handle applicator unit which is mounted above the conveying device so as to be rotatably drivable about a horizontal axis of rotation perpendicular to the conveying direction. The handle applicator unit has at least two applicator arms which are oriented radially relative to the axis of rotation and on each of which at least one holding and/or pressing device and a cutting tool are formed so that a continuous strip at least partially provided with an adhesive layer can be conveyed above each packaging or packaging group, a handle with an adhesive portion at each free end can be cut from the continuous strip and the handle formed in this manner can be applied to, in particular pressed onto, the packaging or the packaging group. According to the invention, each holding and/or pressing device has at least one suction region for at least temporarily holding and/or guiding the continuous strip and the handle cut therefrom by means of an at least temporarily generatable negative pressure. Furthermore, in order to provide the at least temporarily generatable negative pressure, a pressure distribution arrangement is provided which is designed to at least temporarily supply the respective suction regions of an associated holding and/or pressing device of the corresponding applicator arm with at least a first negative pressure level depending on the position of rotation.
