1'xocess and Derriee for Depositing and Stacking Foldable Products SPECIFICATION
The invention relates to a process and a device in accordance with independent claims 1 and 10 fox depositing and stacking foldable products.
Devices axe known, with which foldable products, which are delivered to the device in the form of an endless web, are folded and deposited on a stack: Once the stack has reached the desired height, or respectively once tlxe folded products have been deposited in the desired amount, the endless web is cut and tl'xe stack is removed from the device. In this connection it has been shown at various occasions that for one the cutting of the endless web, and also the removal of the 0 stack, Ieads to problems, because it is necessary to stop the stacking installation for the cutting process and for the removal of the stack, which can Iead to difficulties, in particular on a production Line. It is either necessary to provide a buffer, or a certain amount of waste must be accepted. lVloreover, manual intervention in the producfiion process is required.
'1 he invention is therefore based on the object of developing the process mentioned at the 5 outset and the device mentioned at the outset further in such a way that it becomes possible to separate a formed stack from the endless web during the production process.
The object is attained by means of a process of the invention in that, when the desired stack height has been achieved, a separating board is inserted between two folded products, and that following the insertion of the separating board a cutter is extended from the separating board, and ?0 the two folded products ~e separated from each other.
The already formed stack is separated from the endless web following it by the insertion in accordance with the invention of a separating board between two folded products, wherein the cutting of the endless web takes place by means of a cutter, which as extended out of the separating board and cuts a folded edge, namely the folded edge of the two folded products between which 5 the separating board has been inserted. The separating board is automatically inserted once the desired number of foldable products has been deposited on the stack. Thus, no operator is required for separating the stack from the endless web following it. The cutting of the endless web also l v, 1 V W ,l .

takes place automatically. rt is now possible to move the stack cut off the endless web away without the production installation having to be halted. Following the insertion of the separating board and prior to the extension of the cutter, the web continuous to be folded on the separating board. Here, the separating board is used as the stackiag table for the fresh stack.
In order to cut off the already formed stack from the new stack, the knife is extended when the products placed on the separating board have reached a desired stack height, In this way the freshly deposited products exert an appropriate stack pressure on the separating boaxd, so that the freshly deposited products are not displaced. In this case the two folded products connecting the lower stack with the upper stack, are separated either by cutting ox beating.
In accordance with a 0 pxeferxed exemplary embodiment, the cutter can be extended by means of a pivot movement out of the separating board, wherein even mufti- layexed pxoducts, for example sets with carbon copies, can be severed by a drawing cut in a simple and dependable manner.
Following cutting, the stackiuag table and its lowest position is advantageously moved downward and the stack is moved off for further processing. In the course of stacking the foldable i 5 pxoduets on the separating board, the latter is continuously lowered.
Finally, the web deposited on the separating board, or respectively the fresh stack, is tzax~sferred to an empty stacking table.
The object mentioned at the outset is furthexmore attained by xneax~s of a device having a separating board, which can be inserted between two folded products, wherein the separating ?0 board has an extensible cutter with which the two folded products are separated from each other.
The separating board is embodied divided into two parts for receiving the cutter, or respectively has a pocket-shaped section. Moreover, the cutter is displaceably or pivotably seated on, or respectively in the separating board. The separating board is seated in a height-displaceable manner for the continuous reception of the foldable products, and the lowering corresponds to the 25 increase of the stack on the separating board.
The separatizag board is advantageously embodied in the form of a grating or of lamellas, so that the stack resting on it is only supported along strips. Furthermore, during the transfer of the fresh stack, the separating boaxd can be gxasped by the stacking table through the lamellas.
Further advantages, characteristics and details of the invention ensue $om the dependent 30 claims, as well as from the following description, in which a particularly preferred exemplary _2_ _ . _, ..,"" . ~ "~...,. ~ ".,..", . "...,.... .. "~". .,.. ., , """~ . -~; .

embodiment is described in detail, making reference to the drawings, In this connection the characteristics represented ins the dirawings and mentioned in the description and the claims can be important for the invention respectively by tlteutselves or in any arbitrary combination. Shown in the drawings are in:
Fig. 1, a representation in principle of a preferred embodiment of the device in accordance with the invention;
dig. 2, a stack to be deposited;
Fig. 3, a plan view in the direction of the arrow III in Fig. 2, Fig, ~, a view from above on the separating board in the direction of the arrow IV in Fig. 1;
0 and Fig. 5, a section V - V in Fig. 4 through the separating board.
,A, device for depositing and stacking foldable products 2. identified as a whole by 1, is represented in Fig. 1. This device 1 has a machine support 3, on which an eadless web 4 formed from the products 2 enters in the direction of the arrow 5. This endless web 4 is conducted over 5 deflection rollers 6 to a delivery installation 7. 'xhe delivery installation has a delivery rocker 8, which swings back and forth in the direction o~ the atxows 9 and 10 between two end positions {dashed lines). Hy means of this pendulum swing it is possible to set the format of the products, for e~tanxple between 8 and 12 inches, over the width of their swing. An integrated drawing station, consisting of two driven draw-in rollers which are in contact with each other, can possibly 0 also be located at the end of the delivery xocker 8. The paper is then clamped between these and is additionally drawn. This device is used for improved paper guidance and to maintain the pull on the material.
After leaving the delivery rocker 8, the endless web 4 is grasped by bruskt rollers 11 and 12 and folded into a stack 13 and delivered, Each of the brush rollers 11 and 12 is formed of one or 'S several brushes, which are arranged transversely in respect to the web of nnaterial and whose number, as well as arrangement, is variable. The brushes are used for impxoved folding of the products 2 and for building up stack pressure.
The products 2 are deposited on a stacking table 14, where the stack 13 is built up. The stack becomes continuously higher with the deposit of further products 2.
Therefore the stacking 30 table I4 is co~azuected with a linear guide 15 and is continuously lowered downward ixi the .~. mJ~ .~ vv:'m. "_.~.. , .~........ ~.c ~vv..... .~~. vv~.. . vi .L
direction of the arrow 1 b for letting the stack 13 grow. , A separating device 17, which has a separating board 18, is provided next to the stack 13, and is seated displaceable in the directiozt of the arrow 19. The separating board 18 additionally is located on a second linear guide 20, by means of which it is also displaceable in the vertical direction (in the direction. of the two-headed arrow 21).
Once the stack 13 formed on the stackiag table 14 has reached the desired height, or respectively once the desired number of products 2 has been delivered, the separating board 18 is inserted in the horizontal direction between two pz'oducts 2. In the process, the separating board 18 takes up its upper position at the linear guide 20 and, as already mentioned, is inserted into the open fold underneath the delivery rocker 8, wherein the separating board 18 is stopped before reaching the folding edge 22 (Fig, 2) of the products 2, so that the folding edge 22 is not cut. The insertion distance can be adjusted, so that the device 1 can be adapted to any desired format length, as already mentioned. The depositing process of the delivery device 7 operates continuously, so that the products which follow are deposited on the separating board 18. This separating board 18 1 S is now continuously lowered via the linear guide 20, the same as the stacking table 14 is lowered via the linear guide 15. The counted off, already folded products 2 of the stack 14 are now located between the separating board 18 and the stacking table 14.
After an appropriate (selectable) number of further products 2 has been deposited on the separating board 18, and a corresponding stack pressure is exerted on the separating board 18, the actual separating process starts. In this case the separating board 18 has reached a position further down. ho, the course of this separating process, a cutter 23 (Fig. 4} is pivoted out of the separating board 18. This cutter 23 is pivotably seated on one side on a pivot point 24, while a mechanical or pneumatic advancement unit (for example a piston-cylinder unit 25) is arranged on the opposite side, which pivots the cutter 23 out of the separating board 18, as represented in Fig. 4. Only a point-like contact between the cutter 23 and the folding edge 22 takes place during the separating process, by which the web 4 is cuttingly (drawing cut) separated. A
particularly easy cutting of the web 4 is possible by means of this. This web 4 caz~ be either a single layer or multi-layered (for example sets with carbon copies), however, it can also consist of several longitudinally divided webs, which is z'epresented in Fig. 3. In this way, for example three webs 4', 4" and 4"' are simultaneously deposited next to each other, wherein the stack 14 is formed by these three webs 4', 4" and 4"';
For receiving the cutter 23, the separating board 18 consists of an upper board cut 26 and a lower board section 27 (Fig. 5), between which the cutter 23 is arranged in a gap 28 provided for this purpose. The two board sections 26 and 27 form a mouth-shaped opening 29, through which the cutter 23 is extended.
however, it is also conceivable that the cutter 23 is extended parallel by means of a suitable mechanical ox pneumatic advancement device, so that the fold edge 22 is separated in a beating manner.
Following the separation process, the cutter 23 is retracted into the separating board 18.
Now, the separating device 18 is used as a place of deposit for this fresh stack, wherein the old stack 13, which had been cut off the endless web 4, is moved downward in. the direction of the arrow 34 by means of the stacking table 14 and is transferred to a conveyor belt 31. There, the stack 13 is moved in the direction of the arrow 32 toward an elevator table 33, by means of which the stack is moved in the direction of the arrow 34 to the level of a packing table 35. The sts~cking table 14 simultaneously moves upward underneath the separating board 18 and relieves the separating board 18 of the stack pressure. After having reached this position, the separating board 18 is retracted (reference numeral 18') and moves back into its upper initial position and awaits the next signal fox extending again after the number of pieces lass been reached.
Now the stacking table 1 a is again lowered at the appropriate speed (as described at the outset).
'k'lae essential advantage of the device in accordalace with the invention, as well as the process in accordance with the invention lies in that, with the deposit of single-layer or multi-layer webs 4 of material, as well as with single-web or mufti-web materials, the delivery device can be designed in such a way that the norxaal weights aid the delivery process aid stacking. It is considered to be a further advantage that the stacking table 14 can be designed in such a way that, in con~aection with critical, mufti-web r~aaterials there is still the option to insert thin sheet metal separating elements between the individual stacks during the delivery and stacking process. The design of a separating board 18, which allows insertiola in accordance with exact numbers of pieces, is particularly advantageous. Moreover, pivoting of the cutter 23 results in a simple and clean separation of the stacked web 4 of material. It is of further advantage that the different speeds of the operating processes can be separately adjusted and can therefore be adapted to the . ~. . ~v~ . v ~ . ..r. ~.,.ruvi . ~uu.... ~.t ..~~~. u.. .r . vvvv .
