SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR APPLYING A LABEL FOR THE AUTOMATED PRODUCTION OF E-VAPOR DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18436305 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR APPLYING A LABEL FOR THE AUTOMATED PRODUCTION OF E-VAPOR DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for manufacturing vapor-generating articles, including a rotatable drum, a tagging drum, a pressing roller, and a rolling drum.
- The rotatable drum holds multiple vapor-generating articles.
- The tagging drum attaches a label to each article's housing.
- The pressing roller secures the label to the housing.
- The rolling drum wraps the label around the housing.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in the production of e-cigarettes, vape pens, and other vapor-generating devices.
Problems Solved
This system streamlines the labeling process for vapor-generating articles, ensuring labels are securely attached to each housing.
Benefits
- Increased efficiency in manufacturing process - Consistent and secure labeling of products - Reduced risk of labels coming loose during handling or use
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing labeling processes in the production of vapor-generating articles for the e-cigarette and vaping industry.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be labeling machines used in other manufacturing industries, but specific to vapor-generating articles, this system may be a novel innovation.
Unanswered Questions
How does this system handle different sizes or shapes of vapor-generating articles?
The system may need to be adjustable to accommodate various sizes and shapes of articles.
What materials are used for the labels and how are they attached to the housing?
The patent application does not specify the materials used for the labels or the attachment method, which could be crucial for durability and longevity of the labeling.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for use in manufacturing vapor-generating articles may include a rotatable drum that is configured to hold a plurality of the vapor-generating articles. The system may also include a tagging drum that is configured to tag a respective label to a housing of each of the vapor-generating articles. The system may also include a pressing roller that is configured to press a leading edge of the label against the housing after the tagging. The system may further include a rolling drum that is configured to roll the label around the housing after the pressing.
