Method of Packaging a Continuous Length of Product on a Spool using Indexed Layers

a technology of indexed layers and continuous lengths, which is applied in the directions of transportation and packaging, thin material processing, filament handling, etc., can solve the problems of space-consuming packaging, inconvenient shipping, and difficult to disperse by the end-user, so as to reduce the set-up time, minimize the interruption of the production line, and prolong the duration of continuous feed.

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a way to quickly and efficiently pack a continuous thread of material onto a spool or other large roll. This method uses "indexed" layers to make the packing process easier. The resulting spool can then be used to feed the material to a machine or production line. Overall, this method allows for the efficient and effective packing of woven materials onto spools, leading to improved production efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

However, conventional packaging techniques for a continuous thread of material or of a finished product often produces a package that is space-consuming, inconvenient to ship, and difficult to dispense by the end-user.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]Referring to the figures, and in particular, FIGS. 1 to 6, there is provided a method for packaging a continuous thread of a material or a finished product onto a spool using rows of “indexed” layers of the material or finished product (herein referenced collectively as the “product”). Each layer of the product that is wrapped around the spool is slightly offset or shifted (i.e., “indexed”) a certain distance in relation to the previous layer of product, so as to partially, but not completely, overlap the previous layer. The indexed layer continues across an axial extent of the spool until it reaches one end of the spool to complete a first row of indexed layers, after which the direction of winding is reversed. The process continues in the opposite direction, until the other end is reached to complete a second row of indexed layers of the product. The direction of winding is reversed again, to wrap a third row of indexed layers across an axial extent of the spool in the same ...

Abstract

A method is provided for packaging a continuous thread of a woven material or finished product, such as an absorbent food pad, onto a spool, spindle, or other large roll in indexed layers forming rows, for efficient loading and unloading of the product from the spool. A finished spool formed by rows of indexed layers of a continuous thread of the product is also provided.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 601,554, filed Feb. 21, 2012, and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 644,374, filed May 8, 2012.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]1. Field of Disclosure[0003]The present disclosure relates to a method of packaging a continuous length of a product on a spool by indexing the layers as wrapped around the spool to be slightly offset from (and partially overlap) the previous layer. The product, such as an absorbent food pad, is wound around the circumference of the spool to form rows of indexed layers along the axial extent of the spool.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]Continuous lengths of a woven material or of a finished product can be packaged by winding the material or product on to a large roll for storage, shipping, and use by an end-user.[0006]However, conventional packaging techniques for a continuous thread of material or of a finished ...
