Abstract

A device and method for reinforcing a blister, including a transport mechanism for transporting the blister, and a centering mechanism that bring the blister into a particular position in the direction transverse to the travel direction of the transport mechanism. A gluing station applies an adhesive to the blister and/or to a card, with the card having at least one opening that is matched to the geometry of a pocket of the blister. An insertion device is provided that sets the card into place on the blister.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 11 . (canceled) 
   
   
       12 . A device for reinforcing a blister with a card, comprising:
 centering means for positioning the blister and/or a card into a particular position;   adhesive applying means for applying an adhesive to the blister and/or card, the card being provided with at least one opening which has a complementary geometry to at least one pocket provided on the blister; and   at least one insertion device that assembles the card with the blister.   
   
   
       13 . The device as recited in  claim 12 , wherein the centering means are embodied as adjustable to accommodate different blister geometries. 
   
   
       14 . The device as recited in  claim 12 , wherein at least one guide rail is used as a centering means. 
   
   
       15 . The device as recited in  claim 13 , wherein at least one guide rail is used as a centering means. 
   
   
       16 . The device as recited in  claim 12 , wherein at least one guide rail is provided on which at least one lateral edge of the blister is guided. 
   
   
       17 . The device as recited in  claim 13 , wherein at least one guide rail is provided on which at least one lateral edge of the blister is guided. 
   
   
       18 . The device as recited in  claim 14 , wherein at least one guide rail is provided on which at least one lateral edge of the blister is guided. 
   
   
       19 . The device as recited in claim  11 , wherein at least one guide rail is provided that cooperates with at least one pocket of the blister in order to center the blister. 
   
   
       20 . The device as recited in  claim 13 , wherein at least one guide rail is provided that cooperates with at least one pocket of the blister in order to center the blister. 
   
   
       21 . The device as recited in  claim 14 , wherein at least one guide rail is provided that cooperates with at least one pocket of the blister in order to center the blister. 
   
   
       22 . The device as recited in  claim 12 , wherein a die is used as part of the insertion device and, with the aid of vacuum, the die places the card onto the blister. 
   
   
       23 . The device as recited in  claim 13 , wherein a die is used as part of the insertion device and, with the aid of vacuum, the die places the card onto the blister. 
   
   
       24 . The device as recited in  claim 22 , wherein the die presses the card against the blister. 
   
   
       25 . A method for reinforcing a blister with a card, the card being provided with at least one opening that has a complementary geometry to at least one pocket of the blister, comprising the steps of:
 centering of the blister and/or card into a position for assembly of the blister and the card; and   assembling of the blister and card so that at least one opening of the card encompasses at least one pocket of the blister.   
   
   
       26 . The method as recited in  claim 25 , further comprising the step of, before assembling of the blister and card, placing an adhesive such as at least one glue point, a glue line, or an adhesive strip onto the blister and/or card. 
   
   
       27 . The method as recited in  claim 25 , further comprising pressing of the blister and/or the card. 
   
   
       28 . The method as recited in  claim 26 , further comprising pressing of the blister and/or the card. 
   
   
       29 . The method as recited in  claim 25 , wherein a die assembles the blister and card through an application of a vacuum. 
   
   
       30 . The method as recited in  claim 26 , wherein a die assembles the blister and card through an application of a vacuum. 
   
   
       31 . The method as recited in  claim 28 , wherein a die assembles the blister and card through an application of a vacuum.
