of sprockets 136, 139, 142, 143, 146, 147, 148, 150 and 153 is 1:1. Teeth ratio of
gears 90a and 104a is also 1:1. The operation of the arrangement of the invention
is in a cyclic manner as described below during which valve 21 remains open.
[0011] At the beginning of a half cycle of operation of the arrangement, pinion 121 of the
Geneva driver 117 is positioned at the mouth of slot 119a of the Geneva wheel 116
(Fig 15). During rotation of the Geneva driver in the anticlockwise direction pinion
121 travels away from slot 119a as shown in Figs 16 and 17 and no drive is transmitted
to the Geneva wheel 116 and the solid cleanser feed conveyor 2, solid cleaner holder
forming unit 31 comprising contrarotatable conveyors 32 and 33, film pulling units
100a, 100b, 100c and 100d, film scoring unit 84 and waste film carrying conveyor 98
remain stationary. Ports a and e and ports b and d of valves 20 of the film lamination
units 11a and 11b are connected. Air flows into the piston side and air flows out
into the atmosphere from the cylinder side of the cylinders 12. Pistons 15 of the
cylinders 12 along with the movable laminator plates 23 move down towards the stationary
laminator plates 27 of the film lamination units. Both the movable laminator plates
23 and stationary laminator plates 27 are being heated by the electric conductors
30 running therethrough. Both the films 156, 156 from top unwind rolls 5 positioned
in the top lamination unit 11a are hot pressed together and laminated into a single
top film along the lamination ridges 29 of the movable laminator plate 23 and stationary
laminator plate 27 of the top lamination unit 11a. Similarly both the films 156, 156
from the bottom unwind rolls 6 positioned in the bottom lamination unit 11b are hot
pressed together and laminated into single bottom film along the lamination ridges
29 of the movable laminator plate 23 and stationary laminator plate 27 of the bottom
lamination unit 11b. The laminated top and bottom films emerging from the lamination
units are marked 157. The films on the unwind rolls may be of the same or different
materials, textures or colours as required. Ports b and d and ports a and e of valve
49 of the solid cleanser sealing unit 41 are connected. Air flows into the piston
side and air flows out into the atmosphere from the cylinder side of the cylinder
42 of the solid cleanser sealing unit 41. The piston 45 of cylinder 42 along with
the movable die plate 51 moves down towards the stationary die plate 55. Both the
die sockets 57 in the movable die plate 51 and stationary die plate 55 are being heated
by the electric conductors 58 running around them. The movable die plate 51 closes
on the stationary die plate 55 and holds the solid cleanser holder positioned therebetween
within the die sockets 57 and heat seals together the bottom and top films around
the solid cleanser at the peripheries of the die sockets. Ports b and d and ports
a and e of valve 67 of solid cleanser holder cutting unit are connected. Air flows
into the piston side and air flows out into the atmosphere from the cylinder side
of cylinder 60 of the solid cleanser holder cutting unit. The piston 63 of cylinder
60 along with the punch plate 69 moves down towards the stationary die plate 80. The
punch plate 69 closes on the die plate 80 and holds the solid cleanser holder positioned
therebetween within the die cavities and cuts the solid cleanser holder at the peripheries
of the die cavities. On being cut and separated from the bottom and top films, the
solid cleanser holder 160 falls down through the open bottom of the die cavity 82
in the die plate 80 and corresponding opening 83 in the base 81 of the supporting
structure 62. While the punch plate 69 closes on the die plate 80 and cuts and separates
the solid cleanser holder from the films, the retainer flange 78 presses against the
films under spring tension and holds the films in position to facilitate cutting of
the solid cleanser holders. The retainer flange slides in and out on the punch plate
due to its being tensioned by springs 79 and fixed to the screw members 75 which are
movably disposed in the holes 73. The outward movement of the screw members in holes
73 and hence that of the retainer flange is restricted by shoulders 77 as the heads
of the screw members abuts the shoulders at the extreme outward position of the screw
members. The size of the edges or frills of the solid cleanser holder from the sealing
point thereof depends on the larger peripheries of the die cavities as compared to
the die sockets. At the end of the half cycle of operation of the arrangement, the
position of the pinion 121 of the Geneva driver 117 is as shown in Fig 17. The pinion
121 is about to enter slot 119f of the Geneva wheel 116. During further rotation of
the Geneva driver in the anticlockwise direction the pinion 121 travels into the slot
119f of the Geneva wheel (Fig 18) and travels back from the slot 119f of the Geneva
wheel and positions itself at the mouth of slot 119f of the Geneva wheel as shown
in Fig 19. During this half cycle drive is transmitted to the Geneva wheel and it
rotates in the clockwise direction. Consequently drive is transmitted to the solid
cleanser feed conveyor 2, solid cleanser holder forming unit 31 comprising contrarotatable
conveyors 32 and 33, film pulling units 100a, 100b, 100c and 100d and film scoring
unit 84 and waste film carrying unit 98. Solid cleansers 158 being fed from the feed
end of the conveyor 2 in the pockets formed by pairs of spaced upright members 4,
are moved forward by the feed conveyor. Due to momentum of movement of the feed conveyor,
the solid cleanser at the discharge end of the infeed conveyor is pushed by the advancing
upright member 4 at the rear side of the solid cleanser 158 into the laminated bottom
film 157 at the feed end 37a between the contmrotatable conveyors 32 and 33 over the
flat protrusion 40. The contrarotating rollers of the film pulling units 100a and
100b pull the laminated bottom and top films from the lamination units 11a and 11b
and keep them taut. In the solid cleanser holder forming unit 31, the bottom film
157 carrying the solid cleansers and the top film 157 overlying the solid cleansers
form holders for the solid cleansers and are moved forward by and between the contrarotating
conveyors 32 and 33. The bottom and top films having the solid cleansers interposed
therebetween enter the solid cleanser holder staling unit 41. The contrarotating rollers
of the film palling unit 100c pull the bottom and top films with the sealed solid
cleansers holders emerging from the solid cleanser holder sealing unit and feed them
to the solid cleanser cutting unit 59 one at a time. The contrarotating rollers of
the film pulling unit 100d pull the bottom and top films from the solid cleanser cutting
unit 59 through the film scoring unit 84 in which the rotary disc cutter 91 cuts or
scores the waste films into two lengthwise, which remain as webs between adjacent
cutouts of solid cleanser holders after they are cut and separated. The waste films
emerging from the pulling unit 100d are carried onto the waste film carrying conveyor
98. The waste films are cut and removed from the waste film carrying conveyor as and
when required.
Simultaneously ports b and c and ports a and d of valves 20 are connected. Air flows
into the cylinder side and air flows out into the atmosphere from the piston side
of the cylinders 12 of the film lamination units 11a and 11b. The piston 15 of the
cylinders 12 move up into their original position. Ports b and c and ports a and d
of valve 49 are connected. Air flows into the cylinder side and air flows out into
the atmosphere from the piston side of cylinder 42 of the solid cleanser holder sealing
unit 41. The piston 45 of cylinder 42 moves up to its original position. Ports b and
c and ports a and d of value 67 are connected. Air flows into the cylinder side and
air flows out into the atmosphere from the piston side of cylinder 60 of the solid
cleanser holder cutting unit 59. The piston 63 of the cylinder 60 moves up to its
original position. The arrangement is now ready for the next cycle of operation.
[0012] Due to the intermittent drive and feeding of solid cleansers into the solid cleaner
holder forming unit in a cycle of operation of the arrangement a gap is maintained
between two solid cleansers in the solid cleanser holder forming unit. The temperature
controllers sense the temperatures of the laminator plates and movable die plate and
corresponding stationary die plate through the thermostats and cut of the power supply
when the temperatures exceed the set limits. The film tensioning rollers keep the
films under tension. The bushes are to minimise friction between the guide plates
and respective guide rods and render the up and down movement of the guide plates
smooth.
[0013] The film lamination units, solid cleanser holder forming unit, solid cleanser holder
sealing unit, solid cleanser holder cutting unit, film pulling units, film scoring
unit and solid cleanser pockets may be of different constructions. There may be more
than four film pulling units. Instead of pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic cylinders
may be used. There may be more than two film unwind top rolls and more than two film
unwind bottom rolls and corresponding number of films to be laminated. The waste film
carrying conveyor and film scoring unit are optional. Instead of waste film carrying
conveyor some other arrangement may be used to carry the used films. The sizes and
profiles of the die sockets and die cavities will change depending upon the sizes
and profiles of the solid cleansers and solid cleanser holders. The arrangement may
include a solid cleanser feeding unit. Instead of film unwind rolls, the film feeding
arrangement may be different. Such variations of the invention are to be construed
and understood to be within the scope of the invention.
