Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for loosening a scale formation of printed products across their surface.
  • the printed products leaving a printing press mostly fall in a scale formation, i.e. in such a formation in which the front region of a printed product lies directly on the rear region of the preceding printed product.
  • a scale formation is also one of the most convenient formations for continuously transporting the resulting printed products by means of appropriate conveying devices.
  • the proposed device according to the invention is characterized in that a feed path and at a distance from it an exit path are provided, and between these paths a coulter that is guided and moved transversely to the same is arranged, with path elements that overlap in the direction of their movement, at intervals Funding means are provided in order to transfer the printed products from the feed path via one of the path elements to the path leading away.
  • the device 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a feed path 11 and a path 12 arranged at a distance therefrom. Both the feed path 11 and the path 12 each have a slide table 13 or 14, the two slide tables 13, 14 in this example are arranged approximately at the same height.
  • an endless conveyor 16 which is driven in the direction of the arrow 15 and which is equipped with drivers 17 fastened to one another at regular intervals on a pulling element 18.
  • Each of the drivers 17 engages on the trailing edge of a printed product Z, the printed products occurring in a scale formation S.
  • the endless conveyor is driven by a motor 19, which is only indicated by dashed lines, and a drive wheel 20 which is driven by the motor and engages on the traction element 18.
  • the feed path 11 thus comprises the sliding table 13 and a corresponding section of the endless conveyor 16. The same applies analogously to the path of travel 12th
  • Each of the track elements 22 has approximately the same width as the sliding tables 13, 14 and is firmly anchored at its edge facing the viewer to two endless, chain-like traction elements 23, 24, the direction of movement of the traction elements 23, 24 and thus the blade 21 in the area between the feed path 11 and the path 12 is indicated by arrows 25.
  • the traction elements 23, 24 are driven by a motor 26 indicated only by the broken line for the traction element 24, the drive speed of which, as will be shown, is matched to that of the motor 19, which is to be indicated by the broken line.
  • each of the track elements 22 extends from the end of the sliding table 13 to the beginning of the sliding table 14, thus bridging the distance between them.
  • the surface of each of the track elements 22 is arranged to rise with respect to the track of the endless conveyor 16 in the area of the coulter 21 in its direction of conveyance (arrow 15).
  • the speed of movement of the coulter 21 is matched to the conveying speed of the endless conveyor 16 such that each of the track elements 22 crosses the track of the endless conveyor 16 at the level of a driver 17.
  • the scale formation S is loosened when passing through the sheet 21 transversely to the surface of the individual printed products Z in the sense that the leading region of each of the printed products Z when it hits one of the web elements 22 due to its inclined arrangement from preceding printed product is lifted without the distance between two successive printed products seen in the conveying direction (given by the distance of the drivers 17) would change significantly.
  • the scale formation S is therefore also retained in the area of the sheet 21, and yet each individual print product is individually accessible in the area of this sheet.
  • FIG. 1 the scale formation S is loosened when passing through the sheet 21 transversely to the surface of the individual printed products Z in the sense that the leading region of each of the printed products Z when it hits one of the web elements 22 due to its inclined arrangement from preceding printed product is lifted without the distance between two successive printed products seen in the conveying direction (given by the distance of the drivers 17) would change significantly.
  • the scale formation S is therefore also retained in the area of the sheet 21, and yet each individual print product is individually accessible in the area of this sheet.
  • one or more other printed products can be placed on the viewer side, for example, on each of the printed products Z lying and advanced on one of the web elements 22 during the passage of the scale formation S through the sheet 21
  • the sense of merging a main product with one or more intermediate products can be placed on the viewer side, for example, on each of the printed products Z lying and advanced on one of the web elements 22 during the passage of the scale formation S through the sheet 21.
  • FIG. 2a shows a printed product Z that has just run from the end of the sliding table 13 onto one of the web elements 22 and has been pushed onto the illustrated web element by the corresponding driver 17. While the driver 17 moves further in the direction of arrow 15, the web element 22 lowers in the direction of arrow 25, the speed of the endless conveyor 16 being matched to the sinking speed of the web element 22 such that the edge of the illustrated web element 22 facing away from the viewer the path of the endless conveyor 16 between the feed path 13 and the path 14 always crosses at the level of the driver 17 shown. As a result, the driver 17 remains in engagement with the trailing edge of the printed product, which in turn is pushed further along the web element 22, as can be seen from FIGS. 2b and 2c.
  • FIG. 3 again shows an embodiment variant in a very schematic representation.
  • the guideway 12 with the sliding table 14 flanked by the endless conveyor 16 flanked practically the same as in the embodiment of FIG. 1 can also be seen.
  • the group 21 of the track elements 22 which moves in the direction of the arrows 25 in a manner similar to that in FIG. 1 and which is individually fastened to the circumferential tension members 23, 24.
  • the essential difference from FIG. 1 is the feed path 11.
  • This is formed by an endless conveyor belt 28, the conveying direction (arrow 29) of which is approximately at right angles to the course of the endless conveyor 16 and the conveying plane is practically parallel to the surface of the track elements 22.
  • the end of the conveyor belt 28 is arranged directly adjacent to the passing edges of the web elements 22 facing the viewer.
  • the scale formation S delivered on the feed path is loosened not only in the sense that the individual products Z are raised from each other, but also deflected at an angle (without rotation of the individual products Z), because the individual products Z only come into engagement with the drivers 17 when they have left the end of the conveyor belt 28 and over the entire width of one of the track elements 22 have been pushed out.
  • the scale formation S remains in the area of the sheet 21.
  • a guide or stop plate 30 can be provided on the side facing away from the viewer in order to align the scale formation which arises in the area of the coulter 21 and is transported here by the drivers 17 of the endless conveyor 16.
  • part of the length of the web elements 22 is very much claimed by the feed web 11, so that the printed products are not individually accessible over the entire length of the web elements 22.
  • the length of the track elements 22 is not limited in principle, but at most determined by practical considerations, this fact only appears to be a disadvantage.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 3 has the following advantage, which results from the angular deflection of the delivered scale formation S.
  • the printed products Z resulting from the printing press have been folded, their main fold z 'forms the leading edge, as shown in FIG. 3 on the conveyor belt 28. After the angular deflection, these main folds z 'of all printed products form the edge facing away from the viewer of the scale formation formed in the sheet 21 and transported further.
  • each of the printed products (the so-called "flower") opposite the main fold z 'is accessible from the viewer side in the area of the sheet 21, so that in FIG. 3, for example, inserts into the folded printed products can be pushed or placed on them.
  • FIG. 4 is constructed essentially the same as that of FIG. 1. This is particularly suitable for loading with folded printed products Z which are in the scale formation S with the main fold z 'lying on the side.
  • the main difference lies in a different "phase position" of the movements of the endless conveyor 16 and the coulter 21 which are synchronous with respect to one another.
  • the speeds of the endless conveyor 16 on the one hand and the coulter 21 on the other hand are coordinated with one another, that the side of a web element 22 facing the sliding table 13 has not yet fully reached the height of this end edge at the moment, since the leading edge of a printed product reaches the end edge of the sliding table 13, but is still about half the thickness of a printed product.
  • each of the web elements 22 facing the sliding table 13 acts like an opening sword on the respectively arriving printed product in the sense that only the upper half of the printed product Z comes to rest on the relevant web element 22, while the lower half of the same printed product the preceding web element or on the upper half of the printed product fed along this web element.
  • the printed products are opened as they pass through the sheet 21, and the opening gap which arises in this way presents itself, for example, to insert an insert into (and not onto) the printed product from the viewer's side.
  • the embodiment of the Fig. 4 without the described different "phase position" of the movements of the endless conveyor 16 and the coulter 21 can also be operated with a scale formation in which folded printed products with a lateral main fold z '. Then, however, the entire printed product comes to rest on one web element 22 in each case.
  • the feed and path 11 and 12 do not need to be at the same height.
  • the path 12 can be arranged lower than the feed path 11.
  • the path of the endless conveyor 16 in the area of the coulter 21 has to overcome the height difference between the feed path and the path 11 or 12. This can be done, for example, by appropriately deflecting the traction element 18 or by dividing the endless conveyor into a feed section, into a "coulter” section and into a removal section.
  • the surfaces of the track elements 22 can also be essentially parallel to the sliding tables 13, 14. Even then, the surface of the track elements on the track of the conveyor 16, which is now sinking in the area of the coulter 21, remains increasing in its direction of movement.
  • the track elements can also be arranged on circumferentially driven, circular tires and extend radially inwards or outwards therefrom. If, in such an embodiment, an endless conveyor runs along the now radial array of web elements, its web is to be laid on the side of the web elements facing away from the fastening point of the web elements on the circular tires. In addition, in this case the surfaces of the web elements are expediently not to be formed flat but twisted.
  • each of the track elements itself to be effective in terms of conveying, for example to design them as a conveyor belt or to provide them with one.
  • This conveyor belt would then only be expedient if the path element is located in the area between the feed and exit path.
