Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for opening products formed by at least two sheets connected to one another along one side, preferably from at least one asymmetrically folded sheet, in particular printed products, one part of the sheets on one open side of which is above the other Leaves projecting edge portion, according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 4.
  • Such a method or such a device in which or in which the sheets provided with a projecting edge section, which rest on the other sheets without such an edge section, are lifted upwards (GB-PS 544 365; US-PS 2 237 740).
  • a lifting of the sheets poses certain problems, particularly in the case of thin products, in particular products made from only a single asymmetrically folded sheet.
  • a recess is provided in the support for the products, into which the opening member engages, in order to ensure that even with thin products, the sheets with the protruding edge section are securely gripped and deflected upwards.
  • the present invention is based on the object of creating a method or a device of the type mentioned at the outset which, in a simple manner, enables reliable opening of products of different thicknesses, in particular also of thin products, and of different sizes of the above edge section .
  • the solution according to the invention for opening two or Multi-leaf products are particularly, but not exclusively, suitable for use in a device for processing printed products, as described in DE-OS 24 47 336 (and the corresponding US Pat. No. 3,951,399). Due to the design of the opening device according to the invention, it is also possible to retrofit such an opening into an existing processing device without major adjustment work.
  • the print products 1 to be opened which are formed from asymmetrically folded sheets, lie on a support 2 with a flat side.
  • the latter is a partition wall, which the radially extending compartments of a cellular wheel, not shown separates each other, which is described in DE-OS 24 47 336 (and the corresponding US Pat. No. 3,951,399).
  • the asymmetrically folded printed product 1 has two parts 1 a and 1 b, which are connected to one another via the fold 3 (FIG. 3).
  • the leaves of the product parts la and lb are designated 4 and 4 ', respectively.
  • the sides adjoining the fold 3, of which only the leading side 5 is shown, are open, ie the sheets are not connected to one another on this side 5.
  • the side 6 opposite the fold 3 is also open.
  • the sheets 4 'of the product part 1b have an edge section 7 which projects beyond the sheets 4 of the other product part 1b. This edge section 7 extends over the entire length of the open side 6.
  • the printed products 1 are moved in the direction of arrow A by means of a feed device (not shown in more detail).
  • a feed device (not shown in more detail).
  • this feed device reference is made to the already mentioned DE-OS 24 47 336 and DE-OS 26 04 101 (or the corresponding US Pat. No. 4,058,202).
  • a stationary separating element 8 is arranged in the path of movement of the printed products 1, which is connected to the support 2 and is arranged at a distance above the latter.
  • This separating element 8 has an opening part 9 and a support part 10 integral with it.
  • the opening part 9 lies in the path of movement of the protruding edge section 7 of the printed products 1, while the supporting part 10 adjoins the opening part 9, extending towards the fold 3 of the printed products 1.
  • a flat hold-open element 11 is arranged, which runs at a distance from the support 2.
  • the opening part 9 has a deflecting part 12 directed against the incoming printed products 1 with a deflecting surface 13 on which the projecting edge section 7 runs with its leading edge.
  • the separating element 8 is preceded by a wedge-shaped ramp 14 which is connected to the support 2.
  • This ramp 14 has a run-up surface 15 for the printed products 1 that rises from the support 2 in the direction toward the separating element 8.
  • the sheets 4 'provided with a protruding edge section 7 are lifted from the other sheets 4 by deflection by means of the opening part 9, it is possible to open the product parts la and lb in a flawless manner by simple means, namely the stationary separating element 8 16 to form, both with very thin as well as with thick printed products 1. If the deflecting part 12 is aligned with the theoretical center line of the projecting edge section 7, which is shown in broken lines in FIG. 2 and is designated with M, see above a correct detection of this edge section 7 by the opening part 9 and thus an opening is also ensured when the width of the edge section 7 changes.
  • the opening element 9 acting on the projecting edge section 7 does not necessarily have to be formed in one piece with the support part 10 and can thus also be separated from the latter. This is particularly expedient if this support part 10 with the subsequent hold-open element 11 consists of one piece.
  • the embodiment shown has the advantage that on the one hand the opening member 9 together with the support part 10, i.e. that is, the separating element 8 can be replaced without having to remove the generally larger hold-open element 11 and, on the other hand, it is possible without great adaptation work to subsequently install an opening device in an already existing cellular wheel.
  • two or multi-sheet printed products can also be opened with the described device, in which: the sheets instead of folding in another suitable way, e.g. are bound together on one side by binding, stapling, gluing or the like.
  • multi-leaf products other than printed products can also be opened in the manner described.
  • the opening device described is particularly suitable for use in devices for processing printed products which have a cell wheel rotating around an axis and which are described in more detail in the already mentioned DE-OSes 24 47 336 and 26 04 101.
  • Such opening devices are arranged in each compartment of the cellular wheel, preferably in its input section.
  • the opening device described can also be used in other ways.
