Abstract

One stack space is provided for accommodating each stack of a plurality of stacks of printed products to be supplied to the processing line. Each stack space is provided with a powered feed mechanism which urges the associated stack toward a predetermined processing location, such as a product singling or supply device for singly transferring printed products to the processing line. To be able to prepare the supply of printed products at a location remote from or independent of the processing line, a plurality of transportable winding frames are provided. The winding frames are equipped for exchangeably accommodating a wound package of mutually identical printed products. The winding frames are provided with drive and conveying means which drive the wound package in an unwinding direction and convey the printed products unwinding from the printed package to a transfer location. The winding frames are each selectively connectible to any one of the feed mechanisms, while a drive member of the feed mechanism can be simultaneously coupled to a drive member of the drive and conveying means.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Zuführen von Druckprodukten an eine kontinuierlich arbeitende Verarbeitungsstrasse nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1, sowie ein Verfahren zum Betrieb der Einrichtung.The invention relates to a device for feeding printed products to a continuously working processing line according to the preamble of claim 1, and a method for operating the device.

Solche Verarbeitungsstrassen, beispielsweise Zusammentragvorrichtungen, Sammelhefter und dergleichen, besitzen in der Regel eine Mehrzahl von Stapelräumen, die vergleichsweise in dichter Folge entlang der Verarbeitungsstrasse angeordnet sind. Diese Stapelräume haben ein relativ beschränktes Fassungsvermögen und sind, soll die kontinuierliche Arbeitsweise nicht unterbrochen werden, jeweils nachzufüllen, sobald der Vorrat in einem der Stapelräume zur Neige geht. Dies bedarf, namentlich bei zahreichen Stapelräumen, eines erheblichen Arbeitsaufwandes, auch wenn dieser zum Teil mechanisiert durchgeführt wird. An sich liesse sich das Fassungsvermögen der Stapelräume vergrössern, um die Zeit zu verlängern, bis der Inhalt eines Stapelraumes erschöpft ist. Andererseits sind die meisten Stapelräume zur Aufnahme liegender Stapel mit stehenden Druckprodukten (im Fachjargon auch "Stangen" genannt) eingerichtet, was das exemplarweise Abbauen des Stapels erleichtert. In diesem Falle würde indessen eine Vergrösserung des Fassungsvermögens des - Stapelraumes zu einer entsprechenden Verlängerung des Stapelraumes in waagrechter Richtung führen, und damit einer Vergrösserung des Bedarfs an Bodenfläche.Such processing lines, for example gathering devices, saddle stitchers and the like, generally have a plurality of stacking spaces which are arranged comparatively in close succession along the processing line. These stacking spaces have a relatively limited capacity and, if the continuous mode of operation is not to be interrupted, are to be refilled as soon as the supply in one of the stacking spaces is running low. This requires a considerable amount of work, especially in the case of stacking rooms with a lot of space, even if this is partly carried out mechanically. In itself, the capacity of the stacking space could be increased in order to extend the time until the contents of a stacking space are exhausted. On the other hand, most of the stacking rooms are arranged to hold lying piles with standing printed products (also called "bars" in technical jargon), which makes it easier to dismantle the stack, for example. In this case, however, an increase in the capacity of the stacking space would lead to a corresponding extension of the stacking space in the horizontal direction, and thus an increase in the floor space requirement.

Es ist daher ein Zweck der Erfindung, eine Einrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei welcher im Prinzip ohne Vergrösserung der Stapelräume und ohne Veränderung deren im wesentlichen durch die Verarbeitungsstrasse gegebenen Anordnung die Stapelräume über längere Zeit mit Druckprodukten versorgt werden können, die ihrerseits fern von den Stapelräumen in die zum Versorgen der Stapelräume geeignete Formation bereitgestellt werden können.It is therefore a purpose of the invention to provide a device of the type mentioned, in which, in principle, without increasing the size of the stacking spaces and without changing the arrangement essentially given by the processing line, the stacking spaces can be supplied with printed products over a longer period of time, which in turn can be remote can be provided from the stacking rooms into the formation suitable for supplying the stacking rooms.

Zu diesem Zweck weist die vorgeschlagene Einrichtung die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 definierten Merkmale auf.For this purpose, the proposed device has the features defined in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Dabei sei bemerkt, dass unter "Wickel" von Druckprodukten jene Formation zur Lagerung von Druckprodukten zu verstehen ist, die beispielsweise mit der in der DE-OS 31 23 888 beschriebenen Vorrichtung herstellbar ist. Im Prinzip handelt es sich um eine spiralförmig aufgewickelte Schuppenformation, wobei zwischen den Wickelwindungen ein Wickelband mit aufgewickelt ist, das den Wickel zusammenhält.It should be noted that the "winding" of printed products is understood to mean that formation for storing printed products that can be produced, for example, using the device described in DE-OS 31 23 888. In principle, it is a spirally wound scale formation, with a winding tape being coiled between the winding turns, which holds the winding together.

Da bei der vorgeschlagenen Einrichtung die Antriebs- und Fördermittel eines an einen Nachschubmechanismus angeschlossenen Wickelgestelles an den Antrieb des letzteren gekoppelt sind, erfolgt der Nachschub an die Stapelräume nach Massgabe der Antriebsgeschwindigkeit des betreffenden Nachschubmechanismus.Since in the proposed device the drive and conveying means of a winding frame connected to a replenishment mechanism are coupled to the drive of the latter, replenishment to the stacking spaces takes place in accordance with the drive speed of the replenishment mechanism in question.

Merkmale bevorzugter Ausführungsformen der vorgeschlagenen Einrichtung sind den abhängigen Ansprüchen zu entnehmen.Features of preferred embodiments of the proposed device can be found in the dependent claims.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung rein beispielsweise anhand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine schematische Stirnansicht einer einem Sammelhefter zugeordneten Einrichtung,
  • Fig. 2 eine schematische Draufsicht auf einen Teil der Fig. 1, bei der ein einen vollen Wickel tragendes Wickelgestell im Begriffe steht, an den Nachschubmechanismus eines der Stapelräume angeschlossen zu werden,
  • Fig. 3 in grösserem Massstab eine schematische Seitenansicht eines einen vollen Wickel tragenden Wickelgestelles mit Angabe dessen Antriebs- und Fördermittel, und
  • Fig. 4 im Massstab der Fig. 3 eine schematische Seitenansicht eines leeren Wickelgestelles, wobei dessen Antriebs- und Fördermittel nur noch sehr schematisch angegeben sind.
The invention is described in more detail below, for example, with reference to the drawing. It shows:
  • F ig. 1 shows a schematic end view of a device assigned to a saddle stitcher,
  • F ig. FIG. 2 shows a schematic plan view of a part of FIG. 1, in which a winding frame carrying a full winding is about to be connected to the replenishment mechanism of one of the stacking spaces,
  • Fig. 3 on a larger scale, a schematic side view of a winding frame carrying a full winding with details of its drive and funding, and
  • F ig. 4 on the scale of FIG. 3 is a schematic side view of an empty winding frame, the drive and conveying means of which are indicated only very schematically.

Die in der Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Einrichtung 10 ist hier rein beispielsweise an einen nur schematisch angebenen Sammelhefter 11 angebaut. Sie weist mehrere, in vergleichsweise dichter Anordnung längs des Sammelhefters 11 angeordnete Stapelräume auf, von denen die Stapelräume 12, 13, 14 gezeigt sind. Die Stapelräume sind mit nicht in Einzelheiten dargestellten Nachschubmitteln 15, 16, 17 versehen, die dazu dienen, in einem Schuppenstrom anfallende Druckprodukte zu liegenden Stapeln 18, 19, 20 mit stehend angeordneten Druckprodukten aufzustauen und diese Stapel stets gegen eine nicht dargestellte, und im Sammelhefter 11 eingebaute Vereinzelungs- und Zuführvorrichtung nachzuschieben. Solche Nachschubmittel sind beispielsweise in der US-PS 3'700'232 oder in der DE-OS 24 21 271, IPC B4lf, 13/70, in allen Einzelheiten beschrieben. Jedes dieser Nachschubmittel 15, 16, 17 besitzt Einzelantrieb. Gezeigt ist dies schematisch in Fig. 1, wo für das Nachschubmittel 17 ein Elektromotor 21 dargestellt ist, der über ein nur schematisch angedeutetes Kettenvorgelege 22 die nicht dargestellten, beweglichen Elemente des Nachschubmittels 17 antreibt. Wichtig ist nur, dass ein Glied des Kettenvorgeleges 22, beispielsweise ein Zahnrad 23'von der dem Sammelhefter 11 abgekehrten Seite des Nachschubmittels 17 zugänglich ist. Was in bezug auf das Nachschubmittel 17 dargelegt wurde, gilt auch für die übrigen Nachschubmittel.The device 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is installed here purely, for example, on a saddle stitcher 11 which is only shown schematically. It has a plurality of stacking spaces arranged in a comparatively dense arrangement along the saddle stitcher 11, of which the stacking spaces 12, 13, 14 are shown. The stacking spaces are provided with replenishment means 15, 16, 17, which are not shown in detail and which serve to accumulate printed products resulting in a shingled stream to form stacked stacks 18, 19, 20 with printed products arranged upright and always push these stacks against a separating and feeding device (not shown) that is built into the saddle stitcher 11. Such replenishment agents are described in detail, for example, in US Pat. No. 3,700,232 or in DE-OS 24 21 271, IPC B4lf, 13/70. Each of these replenishment means 15, 16, 17 has an individual drive. This is shown schematically in FIG. 1, where an electric motor 21 is shown for the replenishment means 17, which drives the movable elements of the replenishment means 17, not shown, via a chain transmission 22, which is only indicated schematically. It is only important that a link of the chain countershaft 22, for example a toothed wheel 23 ′, is accessible from the side of the replenishing means 17 facing away from the saddle stitcher 11. What has been explained in relation to the replenishment means 17 also applies to the other replenishment means.

An jedes der Nachschubmittel 15 bis 17 und mithin an jeden Stapelraum 12 bis 14 ist ein verfahrbares und noch anhand der Fig. 3 und 4 näher zu beschreibendes Wickelgestell anschliessbar, etwa so, wie ein Fährschiff mit seinem Bug an ein Pier angedockt wird. Gezeigt sind in Fig. 2 die drei Wickelgestelle 23, 24, 25, wobei das Wickelgestell 24 im Begriffe ist, an den Stapelraum 13 "angedockt" zu werden, während die Wickelgestelle 23, 25 in angeschlossenem Zustand gezeigt sind.To each of the replenishment means 15 to 17 and therefore to each stacking space 12 to 14, a movable and yet to be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 winding frame can be connected, approximately as a ferry is docked with its bow to a pier. The three winding frames 23, 24, 25 are shown in FIG. 2, wherein the winding frame 24 is in the process of being “docked” on the stacking space 13, while the winding frames 23, 25 are shown in the connected state.

Die Wickelgestelle 23 bis 25 dienen zur austauschbaren Aufnahme von Druckprodukte-Wickeln W und sind mit in Fig. 1 nur angedeuteten Antriebs- und Fördermittel 26 versehen, die dazu dienen, den betreffenden Wickel W in Abwicklungsrichtung anzutreiben und die dabei aus dem Wickel anfallenden Druckprodukte zu einer Abgabestelle 27 zu befördern, die (siehe Fig. 1) auf gleicher Höhe wie und bei angedocktem Wickelgestell dem Einlassbereich der Nachschubmittel der Stapelräume unmittelbar vorgelagert angeordnet sind.The winding frames 23 to 25 serve for the interchangeable reception of printed product windings W and are provided with drive and conveying means 26 which are only indicated in FIG. 1 and which serve to drive the relevant winding W in the unwinding direction and to supply the printed products resulting from the winding a delivery point 27 to be transported, which (see FIG. 1) are arranged at the same height as and with the winding frame docked directly in front of the inlet area of the replenishment means of the stacking spaces.

Angetrieben sind die Antriebs- und Fördermittel durch ein im Wickelgestell selbst fest montiertes und in Fig. 1 vorerst nur schematisch angegebenes Kettengetriebe 28, dessen erstes Glied durch ein Zahnrad 29 gebildet ist, das auf der gleichen Seite des betreffenden Wickelgestelles wie dessen Abgabestelle 27, frei zugänglich und auf gleicher Höhe wie das Zahnrad 23' angeordnet ist. Daher greift das Zahnrad 29 bei angedocktem Wickelgestell formschlüssig in das vom Elektromotor 21 angetriebene Zahnrad 23' ein. Dies bringt nicht nur den Vorteil, dass die Geschwindigkeit, mit der die Antriebs- und Fördermittel arbeiten, jener der zugeordneten Nachschubmittel angepasst ist, sondern auch, dass die Wickelgestelle keines eigenen, aktiven Antriebs bedürfen. Die Drehzahl des Motors 21 ist zweckmässig regelbar um damit der Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit und dem Bedarf des Sammelhefters angepasst werden zu können. Flankiert sind die Einlassbereiche der Nachschubmittel 15 bis 17 von jeweils einem Paar von Führungssäulen 30, welche beim Anfahren eines Wickelgestelles dessen Lage in Längsrichtung des Sammelhefters genau definieren und damit die jeweilige Abgabestelle 27 nach den betreffenden Nachschubmittel sowie die Zahnräder 29, 23' inbezug aufeinander ausrichten.The drive and conveying means are driven by a chain gear 28 which is permanently mounted in the winding frame itself and initially only shown schematically in FIG. 1, the first link of which is formed by a gear wheel 29 which is on the same side of the winding frame in question as its delivery point 27 accessible and arranged at the same height as the gear 23 '. Therefore, when the winding frame is docked, the gear 29 engages in a form-fitting manner in the gear 23 'driven by the electric motor 21. This not only has the advantage that the speed at which the drive and conveying means work is matched to that of the assigned replenishment means, but also that the winding frames do not require their own active drive. The speed of the motor 21 is expediently adjustable so that it can be adapted to the working speed and the needs of the saddle stitcher. The inlet areas of the replenishment means 15 to 17 are flanked by a pair of guide columns 30, which precisely define its position in the longitudinal direction of the saddle stitcher when a winding frame is approached and thus align the respective delivery point 27 with the respective replenishment means and the gear wheels 29, 23 'in relation to one another .

Betrachtet man nun die Fig. 3 und 4, und insbesondere die Fig. 3, so erkennt man eines der Wickelgestelle 23 bis 25 von der Seite her. Seine auf einem auf Rollen 31 auf dem Boden abgestützte Grundplatte 32 trägt einen im wesentlichen nur in seinen Umrissen dargestellten Kastenrahmen 33. In seinem oberen Bereich ist am Kastenrahmen eine nur durch einen Kreis angedeutete Lagerung 34 montiert, auf die auf austauschbare Weise ein Wickel W mit seinem Wickelkern 35 derart aufsetzbar ist, dass der Wickel W im Prinzip frei drehbar ist.3 and 4, and in particular FIG. 3, one can see one of the winding frames 23 to 25 from the side. His on a base 31 supported on rollers 31 on the floor carries a in essentially box frame 33 only shown in its outline. In its upper region, a bearing 34, indicated only by a circle, is mounted on the box frame, in which a winding W with its winding core 35 can be placed in an interchangeable manner in such a way that the winding W is in principle freely rotatable is.

Man erkennt auch das Zahnrad 29, auf dessen Welle eine von der dem Zuschauer zugekehrten Seite her eine von Hand zu bedienende Kurbel 36 (gestrichelt angedeutet) sitzt oder aufsteckbar ist.The gear 29 can also be seen, on the shaft of which a crank 36 (indicated by dashed lines) to be operated by hand from the side facing the viewer sits or can be plugged on.

Die von dem Zahnrad 29 ausgehenden Antriebsverbindungen sind der Einfachheit halber mit ausgezogenen Dreifachlinien eingezeichnet. Zunächst führt die erste Antriebsverbindung 37 zu einer Umlenkrolle 38 die auf einer Welle 39 drehbar ist. Die Welle 39 ist zugleich der Anlenkpunkt einer Wippe 40, in der wie - wie noch zu beschreiben sein wird - ein System von Förderbändern montiert ist. Die Wippe 40 ist über eine Gasfeder 41 auf der Grundplatte 32 abgestützt. Die Gasfeder 41 ist so bemessen, dass sie das Gewicht der bei 39 angelenkten Wippe 40 und der darin montierten Teile gerade zu überwinden vermag. Von der Umlenkrolle 38 geht eine Antriebsverbindung 42 zu einer Umlenkrolle 43 und eine Antriebsverbindung 44 zu einer mit zwei Druckrollen zusammenwirkenden Capstanrolle 45. Von hier aus führt eine mit einer Rutschkupplung 46 versehene Antriebsverbindung 47 zu einem Wickeldorn 48, der zur Aufnahme einer Spule 49 für das bereits eingangs im Zusammenhang mit dem Begriff "Wickel" erwähnte Wickelband 50.The drive connections originating from the gear wheel 29 are drawn in with solid triple lines for the sake of simplicity. First, the first drive connection 37 leads to a deflection roller 38 which is rotatable on a shaft 39. The shaft 39 is also the articulation point of a rocker 40, in which, as will be described later, a system of conveyor belts is mounted. The rocker 40 is supported on the base plate 32 via a gas spring 41. The gas spring 41 is dimensioned such that it can just overcome the weight of the rocker 40 articulated at 39 and the parts mounted therein. From the deflection roller 38 there is a drive connection 42 to a deflection roller 43 and a drive connection 44 to a capstan roller 45 which interacts with two pressure rollers. From here, a drive connection 47 provided with a slip clutch 46 leads to a winding mandrel 48 which receives a coil 49 for the Wrapping tape 50 already mentioned at the beginning in connection with the term “wrap”.

Die Umlenkrolle 43 ist von einem Förderband 51 umschlungen, das an den Umfang des Wickels W führt, dann um eine grössere Umlenkrolle 52 und sodann in einem durch frei drehbare Führungsrollen 53 bestimmten, gestreckten Zickzackverlauf auf der Oberseite der Umlenkrolle 38 vorbei zurück zur Umlenkrolle 43 führt. Die Umlenkrolle 38 ist von einem Förderband 54 umschlungen, das zunächst um drei frei drehbare Umlenkrollen 55 führt, dann gleichsinnig wie das Förderband 51 die grössere Umlenkrolle 52 umschlingt und sodann in dem gleichen gestreckten, durch die Führungsrollen 53 bestimmten Zickzackverlauf zurück zur Umlenkrolle 38. Wo die beiden Förderbänder 51 und 54 einen gemeinsamen Verlauf haben, nämlich um einen Teil der Umlenkrolle 52 und sodann im genannten Zickzackverlauf,begrenzen sie einen Förderspalt 56, der bei der Umlenkrolle 38 aufhört. Dies ist zugleich die bereits genannte Abgabestelle 27 des Wickelgestelles. In der Wippe 40 ist ferner unmittelbar vor der Umlenkrolle 52 eine frei drehbare Abzugsrolle 57 montiert, die das bereits erwähnte Wickelband 50 vom Wickel W "abschält". Das Wickelband 50 führt dann über Umlenkrollen 58 um die Capstanrolle 45 auf die Wickelbandspule 49.The deflection roller 43 is wrapped around by a conveyor belt 51 gene, which leads to the circumference of the winding W, then around a larger deflection roller 52 and then in a stretched zigzag course determined by freely rotatable guide rollers 53 on the upper side of the deflection roller 38 and leads back to the deflection roller 43. The deflection roller 38 is wrapped in a conveyor belt 54, which first leads around three freely rotatable deflection rollers 55, then wraps around the larger deflection roller 52 in the same direction as the conveyor belt 51 and then in the same elongated zigzag course determined by the guide rollers 53 back to the deflection roller 38 the two conveyor belts 51 and 54 have a common course, namely around part of the deflecting roller 52 and then in the above-mentioned zigzag course, they delimit a conveying gap 56 which stops at the deflecting roller 38. This is also the already mentioned delivery point 27 of the winding frame. Furthermore, a freely rotatable take-off roller 57 is mounted in the rocker 40 directly in front of the deflecting roller 52 and "peels" the aforementioned winding tape 50 from the winding W. The winding tape 50 then leads over deflection rollers 58 around the capstan roller 45 onto the winding tape reel 49.

Aus dem Gesagten geht hervor, dass sobald die Welle des Zahnrades 29 (sei es über dieses oder über die Kurbel 36) angetrieben wird, die Capstanrolle 45 und die beiden Förderbänder 51 und 54 im Sinne der Pfeile angetrieben werden. Die Capstanrolle 45 zieht das Wickelband 50 vom Wickel W ab und setzt somit letzteren in Uhrzeigersinn (Abwickelrichtung) in Drehung (Pfeil 59). Die dabei freiwerdenden Druckprodukte D werden vom Förderspalt 56 zwischen den Förderbändern 51 und 54 aufgenommen und zur Abgabestelle 27 befördert.From what has been said, it can be seen that as soon as the shaft of the gearwheel 29 is driven (either via this or via the crank 36), the capstan roller 45 and the two conveyor belts 51 and 54 are driven in the direction of the arrows. The capstan roller 45 pulls the winding tape 50 off the winding W and thus sets the latter in a clockwise direction (unwinding direction) in rotation (arrow 59). The thereby released print products D are taken up by the conveyor gap 56 between the conveyor belts 51 and 54 and conveyed to the delivery point 27.

Im Zuge der Entnahme von Druckprodukten wird der Durchmesser des Wickels W allmählich kleiner. Die Gasfeder 41 sorgt dafür, dass die Wippe 40 dementsprechend angehoben wird, so dass das Förderband 51 und die Abzugsrolle 57 stets im Kontakt mit dem Umfang des Wickels W bleiben. Dabei bleibt aber die Abgabestelle 27 stets auf derselben Höhe.In the course of the removal of printed products, the diameter of the winding W gradually becomes smaller. The gas spring 41 ensures that the rocker 40 is raised accordingly, so that the conveyor belt 51 and the take-off roller 57 always remain in contact with the circumference of the roll W. However, the delivery point 27 always remains at the same level.

In Fig. 4 ist ein leeres Wickelgestell dargestellt. Dabei liegt die Wippe 40 unter der Wirkung der Feder 41 an der nunmehr leeren Lagerung 34 an. Zum Beladen des in Fig. 4 gezeigten Wickelgestelles, genügt es, die Wippe herunter zu schwenken und sodann einen vollen Wickel mit seinem Wickelkern mittels eines geeigneten Hebezeuges aus der Richtung des Betrachters auf die Lagerung 34 aufzustecken und ebenso eine leere Wickelbandspule auf den Wickeldorn 48. Danach wird die am Umfang des vollen Wickels vorhandene Ueberlänge des Wickelbandes gelöst, um die Abzugsrolle 57 und die Umlenkrollen 58 sowie um die Capstanrolle 45 bis zur aufgesetzten Wickelbandspule eingeführt. Danach wird, beispielsweise von Hand, die Welle des Zahnrades 29 verdreht. Die Ueberlänge des Wickelbandes wird dabei aufgewickelt und dadurch der Wickel in Drehung versetzt. Die Förderbänder 51 und 54 laufen auch mit,doch der dazwischen liegende Förderspalt wird erst dann Druckprodukte zum Weitertransport erhalten, wenn die letzte noch auf dem Umfang des Wickels befindliche Windung des Wickelbandes anfängt abgewickelt zu werden. Sodann wird die Welle des Zahnrades 29 noch weiter gedreht, bis das erste Druckprodukt den Förderspalt 56 (Fig. 3) durchlaufen hat und praktisch an der Abgabestelle 27, d.h. über der Umlenkrolle 38 erscheint.An empty winding frame is shown in FIG. 4. The rocker 40 bears against the now empty bearing 34 under the action of the spring 41. To load the winding frame shown in FIG. 4, it is sufficient to swivel the rocker down and then attach a full winding with its winding core from the direction of the viewer onto the bearing 34 from the direction of the viewer, and also an empty winding tape reel onto the winding mandrel 48. The excess length of the winding tape present on the circumference of the full roll is then released, around the take-off roll 57 and the deflection rolls 58 and around the capstan roll 45 up to the attached winding tape reel. The shaft of the gear 29 is then rotated, for example by hand. The excess length of the winding tape is wound up and the winding is thereby set in rotation. The conveyor belts 51 and 54 also run, but the conveyor gap between them will only receive printed products for further transport when the last turn of the winding belt that is still on the circumference of the winding belt begins to be unwound. The shaft of the gear wheel 29 is then rotated further until the first printed product has passed through the conveying gap 56 (FIG. 3) and appears practically at the delivery point 27, ie above the deflection roller 38.

Nun ist das Wickelgestell bereit, an einen der Stapelräume (Fig. 2) angeschlossen zu werden.The winding frame is now ready to be connected to one of the stacking spaces (FIG. 2).

Zweckmässig weist die Einrichtung mehr Wickelgestelle auf als im Betrieb befindliche Stapelräume vorhanden sind, vorzugsweise doppelt so viele. Dann nämlich ist jeweils ein Wickelgestell am zugeordneten Stapelraum angeschlossen und ein entsprechend leeres Wickelgestell kann - auch an einem räumlich getrennten Ort - mit einem neuen, vollen Wickel versehen werden und anschliessend in die Nähe seines zukünftigen Einsatzortes verfahren werden. Die Zeit, die vergeht, um einen an einem Stapelraum leer gewordenen Wickel mit seinem Gestell durch ein mit einem vollen Wickel versehenes neues Gestell auszutauschen ist so kurz, und auf alle Fälle nicht ausreichend, um den in den Stapeln 18, 19 bzw. 20 noch vorhandenen Vorrat an Druckprodukten aufzubrauchen. Die kontinuierliche Arbeitsweise des Sammelhefters 11 oder allgemeiner der Verarbeitungsstrasse ist somit gewährleistet.The device expediently has more winding frames than there are stacking spaces in operation, preferably twice as many. Then, in each case, a winding frame is connected to the assigned stacking space, and a correspondingly empty winding frame can be provided with a new, full winding - even at a spatially separate location - and then moved close to its future place of use. The time it takes to replace a wrap that has become empty on a stacking space with its frame by a new frame that is provided with a full wrap is so short, and in any case not sufficient to compensate for that in the stacks 18, 19 and 20, respectively use up existing stock of printed products. The continuous operation of the saddle stitcher 11 or more generally the processing line is thus guaranteed.

Es ist zu bedenken, dass das Fassungsvermögen eines Wickels W im Vergleich zu dem eines der Stapelräume 12 bis 14 ohne weiteres das zehn bis zwanzigfache und mehr betragen kann, so dass für wenig Bedienungspersonal ausreichend Zeit verbleibt, um eine grosse Anzahl von Stapelräumen zu versorgen. Ein weiterer Vorteil bietet die Vorrichtung dadurch, dass die Wickelgestelle verfahrbar sind, was zur Folge hat, dass das Beladen der Wickelgestelle mit vollen Wickeln örtlich getrennt erfolgen kann.It should be noted that the capacity of a roll W can easily be ten to twenty times or more compared to that of one of the stacking spaces 12 to 14, so that there is sufficient time for few operating personnel to supply a large number of stacking spaces. Another advantage of the device is that the winding frames can be moved, which means that the loading of the winding frames with full windings can take place locally.

Die Rollen 31 können arretierbar und/oder als Lenkrollen ausgebildet sein. Ebenso können nicht dargestellte Schnellkupplungen zwischen den Gehäusen der Nachschubmechanismen einerseits und den Wickelgestellen andererseits vorgesehen sein, um letztere in angeschlossener Stellung zu arretieren.The rollers 31 can be locked and / or as castors be trained. Likewise, quick couplings, not shown, can be provided between the housings of the replenishment mechanisms on the one hand and the winding frames on the other hand, in order to lock the latter in the connected position.
