Description
- Field of the Invention. The present invention pertains to an improved apparatus for removing folded newspapers traveling in shingled relation from a stream conveyor and transferring them to a gripper type conveyor. More particularly, the invention pertains to an apparatus for independent control of each newspaper by engaging the folded edge to remove it from the stream conveyor, guiding it to an elevated position and then guiding it downwardly so that its cut edge will enter into the trough or pocket of a gripper conveyor where it is held while being transferred to another location for further processing.
- Description of the Prior Art. A number of United States patents show and describe devices for transferring printed products such as newspapers from one conveyor to another for the purpose of additional processing and, for reference to the teachings of such disclosures, attention is hereby directed to U.S. Patents 3,955,667 and 4,039,182.
- The apparatus for effecting indiviudual withdrawal of folded newspapers or the like from a stream conveyor and transferring them to a gripper type conveyor according to the invention includes a supporting frame having an endless timing belt mounted for rotative movement therein. The belt is operatively connected to a pair of spaced timing pulleys with one of said pulleys being rotatably driven. The timing belt has a plurality of spaced cleat members fixed in spaced relation thereon which are caused to travel with the timing belt between positions of operative association with both the stream and gripper type conveyors. Each cleat member is adapted to engage the folded edge of a single newspaper and withdraw it from the stream conveyor. The timing belt moves upwardly with the newspapers taken from the stream conveyor with their cut edges directed forwardly or in the direction of travel. As the timing belt is guided over the upper surface of the upper timing pulley, the newspapers are then directed downwardly to a position where their cut edges enter into troughs or pockets of the gripper type conveyor. This conveyor is effective in gripping the newspapers until they reach a predetermined downstream location whereat they receive additional processing.
- An endless guide belt operatively associated with a plurality of idler rollers frictionally engages and guides the newspapers as they move with their respective cleat members about the upper surface of the upper timing pulley. As the newspapers move downwardly, engagement with the guide belt is removed which permits the newspapers to drop out of their respective cleat member and enter one of the pockets of the gripper conveyor.
- It is a general object of the invention to provide an improved apparatus for successively withdrawing single newspapers from a stream conveyor and transferring them to a gripper type conveyor.
- A further object is to provide an improved apparatus that will independently engage and guide each newspaper while being transferred from one form of conveyor to another.
- Another object is to provide an improved apparatus for transferring newspapers from one conveyor to another which is of simplified construction, having a minimum number of parts that are relatively inexpensive to manufacture and with long life expectancy.
- These and other objects of the invention will become more fully apparent by reference to the appended claims and as the following detailed description proceeds in reference to the figures of drawing wherein:

This assembler includes among its several mechanisms a pair of spacedstream makers gripper conveyor 16 and conveyor loading apparatus, according to the invention, that are identified generally bynumeral 18 and which will be described in greater detail hereinafter. - A pocket carousel or endless conveyor with which the present invention is operatively associated is identified generally by
numeral 20 and is provided with a multiplicity of pockets of V-shaped configuration that are depicted bynumeral 22. - The
conveyor loading apparatus 18 hereinafter referred to as "loader" is provided with a supporting frame consisting of a pair of spacedside walls base plate 28. - As shown in Fig. 3, a
shaft 30 extends through aligned openings inside walls bearing members walls shaft 30 intermediate theside walls timing pulley 36, a second timing pulley 38 (Figs. 2 and 6) is provided that is rotatably mounted on abar 40 which is supported on a pair of spacedarms support bracket 46 which is assembled on thebase plate 28. - As shown in Fig. 2,
arm 42 is part of a bell crank lever with a downwardly directed second arm 48 that is adjustably connected to thesupport bracket 46 as at 50 and provides a means for selectively raising or lowering thesecond timing pulley 38 for reasons that will become obvious as further details of the invention are described. - An
endless timing belt 52 operatively interconnects thetiming pulleys arrows 54 shown in Figs. 2-6. Thistiming belt 52 has a plurality of cleat members generally indicated bynumeral 56 fixed on the outer surface thereof and they are disposed in evenly spaced relation about the entire outer surface. Eachcleat member 56 is attached to thetiming belt 52 in a manner whereby a portion thereof is disposed in spaced relation to the belt and defines alip 58. As the cleat members move with thetiming belt 52 about the outer surface of thetiming pulley 38, they are caused to intercept a lapped stream of foldednewspapers 60 being advanced by any suitable conveying apparatus, such as an endless wire type, a portion of which is shown at 62 in Fig. 2. - The
lips 58 of eachcleat member 56 are effective in engaging the folded edge of a newspaper and move the same in the direction of the indicatingarrow 54 shown in Fig. 2. As the newspapers move with their respective cleat members on thetiming belt 52, the sides of the newspapers are supported byarcuated plate members arcuated plate members endless belt 52 within theside walls wire type conveyor 62 and the opposite ends in association with a gripper type conveyor identified generally bynumeral 68 in Fig. 2. To maintain the newspapers in alignment as they are taken and advanced by thecleat members 56, a pair ofarcuated guide fences arcuated plate members lips 58 of theirrespective cleat members 56 while being advanced to thegripper type conveyor 68, aguide belt 74 is provided that is operatively connected toguide rollers shafts side walls opposed bracket members side walls timing belt 52 and effects rotation of the belt around theguide rollers guide belt 74 engages thenewspapers 60, anidler guide roller 94 is provided which is rotatably mounted on one end of anarm 96. The opposite end ofarm 96 is connected toshaft 84 and by any suitable means (not shown) thearm 96 is selectively positioned in order to increase or decrease the force with which it engages the outer surface of theguide belt 74. - The
newspapers 60, after passing the uppermost surface of thetiming pulley 36, start in a downwardly direction and, to prevent displacement of the side portions of the newspapers not engaged by theguide belt 74, a plurality ofguide rods 98 are provided. These guide rods have one end mounted in abar 100 which traverses the distance between theside walls opposed bracket members 90. From thebar 100, the guide rods extend in a generally downward direction toward thegripper type conveyor 68 and are effective in engaging those portions of the newspapers not engaged by theguide belt 74. - As shown in Fig. 2, the
gripper type conveyor 68 includes a multiplicity of V-shaped pockets 102 which are caused to travel in the direction of the indicatingarrow 104. As the newspapers travel in a downwardly direction, their contact with the guide belt is lost and permits a newspaper with its cut edges directed downwardly to drop into one of thepockets 102. By a means (not shown) the newspapers, after entering thepockets 102, are gripped and held till they arrive at a predetermined downstream location whereat they will be subjected to further processing. - Although the present invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that modifications and variations may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as those skilled in the art will readily understand. Such modifications and variations are considered to be within the purview and scope of the invention and the appended claims.
