Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren nach dem Oberbegriff des ersten unabhängigen Patentanspruchs, mit welchem Verfahren Druckprodukte wie beispielsweise Magazine oder Broschüren herstellbar sind, welche Druckprodukte im wesentlichen aus einer Mehrzahl von gefalteten Bogen bestehen.The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of the first independent claim, with which method printed products such as magazines or brochures, which print products can be produced consist essentially of a plurality of folded sheets.

Druckprodukte, die aus einer Mehrzahl von gefalteten Bogen (Tabloiden) bestehen, werden üblicherweise aus einem Zwischenprodukt oder aus einer Mehrzahl von Teilprodukten hergestellt, wobei das Zwischenprodukt oder die Teilprodukte aus einer Mehrzahl von lose ineinander gefalteten Bogen besteht. Derartige Teilprodukte (Tabloide) werden beispielsweise dadurch hergestellt, dass eine bedruckte Papierbahn längs zerschnitten wird in eine Mehrzahl von Teilbahnen, dass die Teilbahnen übereinander geführt werden und dass die übereinander geführten Teilbahnen quer zerschnitten und im wesentlichen mittig zwischen den Schnittlinien gefaltet werden.Printed products consisting of a plurality of folded sheets (tabloids) consist, are usually from an intermediate or from one Produced a plurality of sub-products, the intermediate or Partial products consist of a plurality of loosely folded sheets. Such partial products (tabloids) are produced, for example, by that a printed paper web is cut lengthwise into a plurality of partial webs that the partial webs are guided one above the other and that the superimposed partial webs cut transversely and essentially folded in the middle between the cutting lines.

Ein fertiges Produkt wird aus nur einem beispielsweise wie oben. beschrieben hergestellten Zwischenprodukt hergestellt, indem die lose ineinander gefalteten Bogen vor oder nach dem Schneiden und vor oder nach dem Falten ent-Zur Herstellung von fertigen Produkten aus mehreren der oben beschriebenen Teilprodukte kommen verschiedene Verfahren zur Anwendung:

  • die Teilprodukte werden ineinander eingesteckt (von-aussen-nach-innen-Methode) oder aufeinander gesammelt (von-innen-nach-aussen-Methode) und in der gemeinsamen Falzlinie zusammengeheftet;
  • die Teilprodukte werden wie oben eingesteckt oder gesammelt oder werden durch Zusammentragen in gefaltetem Zustand gestapelt, dann wird die Rückenpartie mit den Falzen mindestens teilweise weggefräst und die Bogen werden an den Frässtellen miteinander verleimt;
  • die Teilprodukte werden einzeln geheftet, dann werden sie zusammengetragen und im Rückenbereich miteinander verleimt oder auf eine andere Art miteinander verbunden.
A finished product is made from just one, for example as above. Intermediate product described produced by the loosely folded sheets before or after cutting and before or after folding. Various methods are used to produce finished products from several of the partial products described above:
  • the partial products are inserted into each other (from the outside-in method) or collected on top of each other (from the inside-out method) and stapled together in the common fold line;
  • the partial products are inserted or collected as above or are stacked by collating in the folded state, then the back part is at least partially milled away with the folds and the sheets are glued together at the milling points;
  • the partial products are stapled individually, then they are gathered and glued together in the back area or connected in another way.

In allen den bekannten Verfahren können auf verschiedenste Weisen Deckbogen oder Deckblätter und/oder Rückenverkleidungen an den zusammengefassten Teilprodukten angebracht werden.In all the known methods, cover sheets can be used in a variety of ways or cover sheets and / or back panels on the combined Part products are attached.

In den Publikationen US-2267045, US-2153639, US-2245891und GB-550501 wird auch vorgeschlagen, gefaltete Teilprodukte aufeinander zu stapeln und dann entlang einer Heftlinie parallel zum Rücken und von diesem beabstandet zu heften. Auch die so hergestellten, als Buchblöcke zu bezeichnenden Zwischenprodukte werden durch in der Buchbinderei bekannte Methoden mit Rückenabdeckungen und Buchdeckeln versehen.Publications US-2267045, US-2153639, US-2245891 and GB-550501 also disclose proposed to stack folded partial products on top of one another and then along a stitching line to attach parallel to the back and spaced from it. Even the so produced as Intermediate products to be designated as book blocks are known in bookbinding Provide methods with back covers and book covers.

Die Erfindung stellt sich mm die Aufgabe, ebenfalls ein Verfahren zur Herstellung vom Druckprodukten aus mindestens einem Teilprodukt aufzuzeigen, wobei das Teilprodukt aus einer Mehrzahl von lose ineinander gefalteten Bogen besteht, wie es beispielsweise im Tiefdruck hergestellt wird (Tabloid). Das Verfahren soll sehr einfach durchführbar und möglichst einfach an verschiedene Produktedicken, Produkteformate und/oder Papierqualitäten anpassbar sein. Trotzdem soll es ein Produkt liefern, das eine vergleichbare Qualität hat wie entsprechende, nach bekannten Methoden hergestellte Produkte, das insbesondere ähnlich gute Öffnungseigenschaften aufweist. Ferner soll das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren es einfach möglich machen, in das Produkt neben den Teilprodukten weitere Druckerzeugnisse, wie beispielsweise einzelne Seiten oder kleinere, bedruckte Karten oder Musterbeutel oder ähnliches einzubringen sowie das Produkt mit Deckbogen, Deckblättern und/oder Rückenverkleidung zu versehen.The object of the invention is also a method for the production to show printed products from at least one partial product, wherein the partial product consists of a plurality of loosely folded one inside the other Sheets are made as it is produced, for example, by gravure printing (tabloid). The process should be very easy to carry out and as simple as possible to different people Customizable product thicknesses, product formats and / or paper qualities his. Nevertheless, it should deliver a product that is comparable Quality has like corresponding products manufactured according to known methods, which in particular has similarly good opening properties. Further The method according to the invention is intended to make it easy to add to the product in addition to the sub-products, other printed products, such as single pages or smaller, printed cards or sample bags or similar and the product with cover sheets, cover sheets and / or To provide back paneling.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch das Verfahren, wie es in den Patentansprüchen definiert ist.This problem is solved by the method as it is in the claims is defined.

Gemäss dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren werden die aus einer Mehrzahl von ineinander gefalteten Bogen bestehenden Teilprodukte zu einem Stapel zusammengetragen, wobei die Faltkanten der Teilprodukte aufeinander positioniert werden. Der Stapel wird dann entlang einer Heftlinie, die parallel zum Rücken verläuft, durch alle Lagen hindurch geheftet, wobei der Abstand der Heftlinie von der äussersten Falzkante gross genug ist, so dass auch der innerste Bogen jedes Teilproduktes durch die Heftung erfasst wird. Das heisst mit anderen Worten, dass die Bogen der Teilprodukte in ihrem gefalteten Zustand geheftet werden und dass der gefaltete Zustand jedes Bogens durch die Heftung fixiert wird. Die Teilprodukte müssen für das Zusammentragen nicht geöffnet werden, das heisst, sie brauchen auch nicht mit einem Hilfsmittel ausgestattet zu sein, das wie beispielsweise ein Vorfalz ein einfaches Öffnen ermöglicht.According to the method according to the invention, they are made up of a plurality from folded sheets of existing partial products to a stack brought together, the folded edges of the sub-products positioned on top of each other become. The stack is then along a stitching line that is parallel runs to the back, stapled through all layers, keeping the distance the stitching line from the outermost fold edge is large enough so that the innermost sheet of each partial product is captured by the stitching. This means in other words, that the sheets of the partial products are folded in theirs State to be stapled and that the folded state of each sheet through the stitch is fixed. The sub-products have to be collected not be opened, that is, they do not need any tools to be equipped, such as a pre-fold a simple Allows opening.

Die Heftung, mit der die zusammengetragenen Teilprodukte zusammengefasst werden, ist beispielsweise eine mehrfache, beispielsweise eine dreifache Drahtheftung oder eine sich über die ganze Länge des Rückens erstreckende Fadenheftung.The stitch with which the assembled partial products are summarized is, for example, a multiple, for example a triple Wire stitching or a full length spine Thread stitching.

Soll nur ein Teilprodukt (Zwischenprodukt) zu einem fertigen Produkt verarbeitet werden, entfällt der Schritt des Zusammentragens. Ein artgleiches Produkt wie dasjenige, das aus nur einem Zwischenprodukt hergestellt wird, entsteht auch, wenn anstelle des Zusammentragens eine Mehrzahl von Teilprodukten ineinander eingesteckt oder aufeinander gesammelt werden und die Teilprodukte dann in der oben beschriebenen Art miteinander verheftet werden. Ein derartiges Verfahren ist vorstellbar, bringt aber den Nachteil, dass mit wachsender Zahl der ineinander gefalteten Bogen sich der notwendige Abstand der Heftung vom Rücken erhöht und dadurch ein grösserer Bereich der Seiten nicht bedruckbar und das Öffnen des fertigen Produktes mehr und mehr beeinträchtigt wird.If only a partial product (intermediate product) is to be processed into a finished product, the step of collating is omitted. A product of the same type as that which is produced from only one intermediate product also arises if instead of collating, a plurality of partial products are inserted into one another or collected on one another and the partial products are then stitched together in the manner described above. Such a method is conceivable, but it has the disadvantage that with an increasing number of sheets folded into one another, the necessary distance of the stitching from the spine increases, and as a result a larger area of the pages cannot be printed on and the opening of the finished product is more and more impaired.

Vor der Heftung wird um den Stapel von Teilprodukten ein Deckbogen oder Rückenstreifen gelegt und mit der Heftung am Produkt befestigt.Before stapling, a cover sheet is placed around the stack of partial products or back strips and with the stitch on the product attached.

Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren hat gegenüber bekannten Verfahren, die auf der Leimung eines gefrästen Rückens beruhen, den Vorteil, dass es weitgehendst unabhängig ist von der zu verarbeitenden Papierqualität, dass es keine Trocknungszeit oder Aushärtungszeit und -Energie benötigt und dass es ein nicht alterndes Produkt liefert. Ferner können problemlos verschiedenste Papierqualitäten und/oder verschieden beschichtete Papiere miteinander verarbeitet werden, für die in einem Leimverfahren verschiedene Leimtypen notwendig wären. Gegenüber bekannten Heftverfahren, bei denen die ineinandergefalteten Bogen im Falz geheftet werden, hat das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren den Vorteil, dass die Bogen verschiedener Teilprodukte nicht geöffnet werden müssen, dass das Ausrichten und Pressen der Bogen für das Heften einfacher ist, da nicht im Falz geheftet werden muss, und dass auch einzelne Seiten problemlos in das Produkt integrierbar sind. Gegenüber der Falzheftung ist aber der zu heftende Papierstapel doppelt so dick, was aber bis zu sehr hohen Dicken mit bekannten Heftapparaten problemlos bewältigbar ist.Compared to known methods, the method according to the invention has the based on the gluing of a milled back, the advantage that it is largely regardless of the paper quality to be processed, it is no drying time or curing time and energy required and that it delivers a non-aging product. Furthermore, the most varied can easily Paper qualities and / or differently coated papers with each other are processed for which different types of glue are used in a gluing process would be necessary. Compared to known stitching methods, in which the folded The sheet according to the invention has to be stapled in the fold Process the advantage that the sheets of different partial products are not opened that the alignment and pressing of the sheets for the Stapling is easier because there is no need to staple in the fold, and that too individual pages can be easily integrated into the product. Opposite the Fold stitching, however, the paper stack to be stapled is twice as thick, but what up to very high thicknesses easily manageable with known staplers is.

Eine beispielhafte Variante des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens und verschiedene beispielhafte Ausführungsformen von mit dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren herstellbaren Druckprodukten werden anhand der folgenden Figuren im Detail beschrieben. Dabei zeigen:

Figur 1 zeigt schematisch eine beispielhafte Variante des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens zur Herstellung von Druckprodukten, die im wesentlichen aus einer Mehrzahl von gefalteten Bogen bestehen. FIG. 1 schematically shows an exemplary variant of the method according to the invention for producing printed products which essentially consist of a plurality of folded sheets.

Es werden dabei aus beispielsweise drei bedruckten Papierbahnen 10, 20 und 30 in aus dem Tiefdruck bekannter Weise drei Teilprodukte hergestellt, die aus je drei ineinander gefalteten Bogen bestehen, die also je zwölf Druckseiten im fertigen Produkt darstellen. Die Teilprodukte werden hergestellt, indem die bedruckten Papierbahnen 10, 20 oder 30 längsgeschnitten werden (schematisch dargestellt durch je zwei kleine Scheren), indem die durch das Längsschneiden entstehenden Teilbahnen 11, 12 und 13 bzw. 21, 22, 23 bzw. 31, 32, 33 durch Wenden über Wendestangen 3 übereinander geführt werden, indem die übereinandergeführten Teilbahnen quer geschnitten werden und indem die durch das Querschneiden entstehenden Gruppen von aufeinanderliegenden Bogen (11/12/13, 21/22/23 und 31/32/33) quer und im wesentlichen mittig gefalzt werden.There are three printed paper webs 10, 20 and 30 three sub-products produced in a manner known from gravure printing consist of three sheets folded into each other, that is, twelve printed pages each in the finished product. The partial products are manufactured by cutting the printed paper webs 10, 20 or 30 lengthways (schematically represented by two small scissors each), by the by the Slitting 11, 12 and 13 or 21, 22, 23 or 31, 32, 33 are guided one above the other by turning over turning bars 3, by cutting the overlapping partial webs across and by the groups of superimposed that result from the cross cutting Arch (11/12/13, 21/22/23 and 31/32/33) across and essentially be folded in the middle.

Die durch das Querschneiden und Falzen der übereinandergeführten Teilbahnen entstehenden Teilprodukte werden auf einer Zusammentragstrecke zusammengetragen zu einem Stapel 40 (11/12/13 + 21/22/23 + 31/32/33). Um den Stapel 40 wird ein Deckbogen 41 (z.B. Titelseite) gelegt und dann wird Stapel 40 und Deckbogen 41 zu einem fertigen Produkt 50 zusammengefasst, indem auf einer Heftlinie 42 parallel zum Rücken 43 beispielsweise drei Heftklammern 51 angebracht werden.The result of the cross cutting and folding of the overlapping partial webs The resulting partial products are brought together on a collation line to a stack 40 (11/12/13 + 21/22/23 + 31/32/33). Around the stack 40 a cover sheet 41 (e.g. front page) is placed and then Stack 40 and cover sheet 41 combined into a finished product 50, by, for example, three staples on a stitching line 42 parallel to the spine 43 51 are attached.

Nach dem Heften wird das Druckprodukt 50 gegebenenfalls an den drei offenen Kanten beschnitten. After stapling, the printed product 50 is optionally opened at the three Trimmed edges.

Varianten zur im Zusammenhang mit der Figur 1 dargestellten Verfahren bestehen beispielsweise darin, dass

  • die verschiedenen Teilprodukte verschieden viele Bogen aufweisen und/oder verschiedene Formate haben;
  • mindestens ein Teil der Teilprodukte nicht on-line zusammengetragen werden, sondern beispielsweise ab Wickeln in die Zusammentragstrecke zugeführt werden;
  • die Teilprodukte mindestens zum Teil nicht aus übereinander positionierten Teilbahnen hergestellt werden, sondern durch Einstecken oder Sammeln von bereits gefalteten Bogen oder durch Zusammentragen von ungefalteten Bogen und nachträgliches Falten;
  • zwischen den Teilprodukten noch Zusatzprodukte aus anderen Quellen zusammengetragen werden;
  • die Teilprodukte vor dem Zusammentragen einer zusätzlichen Bearbeitung unterzogen werden (z.B. Aufbringen eines Zusatzproduktes wie Karte oder Musterbeutel oder Aufdrucken individueller Information auf einer der äussersten Seiten);
  • die Heftung mit Heftklammern durch eine äquivalente Methode zum Verbinden der Teilprodukte ersetzt wird (z.B Fadenheftung).
Variants of the method illustrated in connection with FIG. 1 consist, for example, in that
  • the different sub-products have different numbers of sheets and / or have different formats;
  • at least some of the partial products are not collected online, but instead are fed into the collating section, for example, from winding;
  • the partial products are at least partly not produced from partial webs positioned one above the other, but rather by inserting or collecting sheets that have already been folded or by collating unfolded sheets and subsequently folding them;
  • additional products from other sources are collected between the sub-products;
  • the sub-products are subjected to additional processing before being collated (for example applying an additional product such as a card or sample bag or printing individual information on one of the outermost pages);
  • the stapling with staples is replaced by an equivalent method for connecting the partial products (eg thread stitching).

Figur 2 zeigt ein Druckprodukt 60, das im wesentlichen aus gefalteten Bogen besteht und nach dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren hergestellt ist. Das dargestellte Produkt besteht nur aus einem Teilprodukt oder es ist entstanden durch Sammeln oder Einstecken verschiedener Teilprodukte, derart, dass alle Bogen ineinander gefaltet sind. FIG. 2 shows a printed product 60, which essentially consists of folded sheets and is produced by the method according to the invention. The product shown consists of only one partial product or it was created by collecting or inserting different partial products in such a way that all sheets are folded into one another.

Es ist aus der Figur 2 gut ersichtlich, dass die Position der Heftlinie 42 einen Mindestabstand d von der äussersten Rückenkante 43 haben muss, nämlich derart, dass durch die Heftung auch der innerste Bogen des Produktes erfasst und festgehalten wird. Das heisst mit anderen Worten, der Abstand zwischen Heftlinie 42 und äusserster Rückenkante 43 muss auf jeden Fall grösser sein als die halbe Dicke des fertigen Produktes. It can be clearly seen from FIG. 2 that the position of the stitching line 42 is one Must have a minimum distance d from the outermost back edge 43, namely in such a way that the innermost sheet of the product is captured by the stitching and is held. In other words, the distance between Stitch line 42 and outermost back edge 43 must in any case be larger than half the thickness of the finished product.

Figuren 3 bis 6 zeigen noch verschiedene Varianten, mit denen nach dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren hergestellte Produkte mit Deckblättern und/oder Rückenverkleidungen versehen werden können. FIGS. 3 to 6 also show different variants with which products produced by the process according to the invention can be provided with cover sheets and / or back coverings.

Figur 3 zeigt ein Druckprodukt 81, das aus acht Teilprodukten verschiedener Dicke besteht und das in bekannter Art mit einem Deckbogen 82 versehen ist, wobei der Deckbogen 82 ein Format hat, das im wesentlichen zwei Seiten des fertigen Produktes plus Rückenbreite entspricht. Danach werden Teilprodukte und Deckbogen durch Heften miteinander verbunden. Figure 3 shows a printed product 81, which consists of eight sub-products of different thicknesses and which is provided in a known manner with a cover sheet 82, the cover sheet 82 having a format which essentially corresponds to two sides of the finished product plus spine width. Sub-products and cover sheets are then joined together by stapling.

Figur 4 zeigt ein weiteres, beispielhaftes Druckprodukt 83. Dieses unterscheidet sich vom Druckprodukt 81 der Figur 3 dadurch, dass anstelle des Deckbogens ein Rückenstreifen 84 vorgesehen ist, welcher Rückenstreifen 84 eine Breite aufweist, die grösser ist als die Rückenbreite plus zwei mal der Mindestabstand zwischen Heftlinie und Rücken. Dieser Rückenstreifen 84 ist ebenfalls vor dem Heften auf dem Rücken zu positionieren und dann mit der Heftung am Produkt zu befestigen. FIG. 4 shows a further, exemplary printed product 83. This differs from the printed product 81 of FIG. 3 in that, instead of the cover sheet, a back strip 84 is provided, which back strip 84 has a width which is greater than the back width plus two times the minimum distance between Stitching line and back. This backing strip 84 is also to be positioned on the back before stapling and then fastened to the product with the stapling.

Figur 5 zeigt ein weiteres Druckprodukt 87, das wie das Produkt 81 der Figur 3 mit einem durch die Heftung mit den Teilprodukten verbundenen Deckbogen 82 versehen ist, wobei die Heftklammern durch örtlich beispielsweise aufgeklebte Deckstreifen 88 abgedeckt sind. FIG. 5 shows a further printed product 87 which, like the product 81 of FIG. 3, is provided with a cover sheet 82 connected by the stapling to the partial products, the staples being covered by cover strips 88 which are, for example, glued on locally.

Figur 6 zeigt ein weiteres Druckprodukt 95 mit einem beispielsweise aus steifem Papier oder Karton bestehenden Deckbogen 96, der mit der Heftung der Teilprodukte mit diesen verbunden wurde. Damit das Produkt gut zu öffnen ist und damit ein Ausreissen des Deckbogens an den Heftklammern vermieden wird, ist der Deckbogen parallel zur Heftlinie gefalzt, wobei die Falzlinie 97 weiter vom Produkterücken entfernt ist als die Heftlinie. FIG. 6 shows a further printed product 95 with a cover sheet 96 consisting, for example, of stiff paper or cardboard, which was connected to the partial products by stapling them. To ensure that the product can be opened easily and that the cover sheet on the staples is not torn out, the cover sheet is folded parallel to the stitching line, the folding line 97 being further away from the product spine than the stitching line.
