Definitions
- the invention relates to a mechanical method for applying adhesive to book block spines or the like, with an application roller which rolls with its circumference on the book block spine and thereby transfers an adhesive film.
- elastic profile rollers are used which are adapted to the contour of the book block spine.
- a known adhesive application system provides an application roller which is in contact with a scooping and dosing roller running in a glue reservoir in order to remove an adhesive film from it and transfer it to the back of the book block, for which purpose the application roller is timed to the book block transport in the sense of an and can be moved back and forth to the back of the book block.
- the roller When the applicator roller is placed on the spine of the book block with a flatter profile in relation to the spine shape, the roller leaves a parabolic-glued back surface, i. H. the corners of the back do not receive any glue. Conversely, the middle region of the back remains without adhesive when the application roller is attached, if it has a profile that is steeper than the back shape.
- the applicator roller In order to counteract such non-area-wide gluing, the applicator roller is often already moved into the lower end position before the book block reaches the roller, but this has the disadvantage that when the roller hits the front edge of the book block, an adhesive bead in front of the cut surface of the book block sets. This effect is intensified to the extent that the concave profile of the application roller produces different peripheral speeds and thus different adhesive application speeds.
- the application roller runs at an orbital speed oriented to its mean diameter, which is generally slightly below the transport speed of the book blocks, with the result that the middle region of the application roller moves at a speed which is lower than the linear speed of the book block, which favors the formation of jams on the cut surface.
- the object of the invention is achieved in that in a method for the mechanical application of adhesive to book block spines or the like.
- an application roller which rolls with its circumference on the book block spine and thereby applies an adhesive film
- the application roller for attachment to the book block spine for a short time an average rotational speed which is higher than the transport speed is driven.
- the application roller advantageously runs at a 10-20% speed increase.
- the application roller for setting down the book block spine is driven at an average rotational speed which is lower than the transport speed of the book blocks.
- the method can be used for an adhesive application system with a pivotable application roller and for a stationary application roller.

Abstract
Bei einem Verfahren zum maschinellen Auftragen von Klebstoff auf Buchblockrücken od. dgl., mit einer Auftragswalze, die sich mit ihrem Umfang auf dem Buchblockrücken abwälzt und dabei einen Klebstoffilm aufträgt, wird die Auftragswalze zum Ansetzen am Buchblockrücken kurzzeitig mit einer gegenüber der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Buchblocks erhöhten mittleren Umlaufgeschwindigkeit angetrieben.In a method for the mechanical application of adhesive to book block spines or the like, with an application roller that rolls with its circumference on the book block spine and thereby applies an adhesive film, the application roller for attachment to the book block spine is briefly increased with respect to the transport speed of the book blocks driven medium speed.
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein maschinelles Verfahren zum Auftragen von Klebstoff auf Buchblockrücken od. dgl., mit einer Auftragswalze, die sich mit ihrem Umfang auf dem Buchblockrücken abwälzt und dabei einen Klebstoffilm überträgt.The invention relates to a mechanical method for applying adhesive to book block spines or the like, with an application roller which rolls with its circumference on the book block spine and thereby transfers an adhesive film.
Zum Beleimen von Buchblockrücken, beispielsweise für die Arbeitsgänge Hinterkleben mit einem Papier oder Anbringen eines Zierbandes am Kopf und Fuß des Buchblocks, verwendet man der Kontur des Buchblockrückens angepaßte elastische Profilwalzen. Ein bekanntes Klebstoffauftragssystem sieht eine Auftragswalze vor, die mit einer in einem Leimreservoir laufenden Schöpf- und Dosierwalze in Kontakt steht, um von dieser einen Klebstoffilm abzunehmen und auf den Buchblockrücken zu übertragen, wozu die Auftragswalze in zeitlicher Abstimmung auf den Buchblocktransport im Sinne eines An-und Absetzens zum Buchblockrücken hin und zurück bewegbar ist.For gluing book block spines, for example for the back-gluing operations with a paper or attaching a decorative ribbon to the head and foot of the book block, elastic profile rollers are used which are adapted to the contour of the book block spine. A known adhesive application system provides an application roller which is in contact with a scooping and dosing roller running in a glue reservoir in order to remove an adhesive film from it and transfer it to the back of the book block, for which purpose the application roller is timed to the book block transport in the sense of an and can be moved back and forth to the back of the book block.
Bei Verwendung von Profilwalzen als Klebstoffübertragungselement ergibt sich aufgrund einer bekanntlich nicht zu erreichenden exakten Anpassung an die Buchblockrückenkontur die Problematik, daß eine vollflächige Beleimung beim Ansetzen der Walze nicht erreicht werden kann. Eine Obereinstimmung zwischen dem Walzenprofil und der Rückenrundung ist, abgesehen von ungleich ausfallenden oder deformierten Blockrücken, grundsätzlich nicht gegeben, insofern, als aus Kostengründen hinsichtlich Umrüstzeit und Lagerhaltung für verschiedene Rückenformen jeweils ein Walzenprofil zum Einsatz gelangt.If profile rollers are used as the adhesive transfer element, the problem arises due to a known exact adjustment to the book block back contour that full-surface gluing cannot be achieved when the roller is attached. Apart from the unevenly falling or deformed block backs, there is basically no agreement between the roller profile and the rounded back, insofar as as one roll profile is used for cost reasons with regard to changeover time and storage for different back shapes.
Beim Ansetzen der Auftragswalze am Buchblockrücken mit einen bezogen auf die Rückenform flacheren Profil hinterläßt die Walze eine parabelförmig beleimte Rückenfläche, d. h. die Eckbereichee des Rückens erhalten keinen Klebstoffauftrag. Umgekehrt bleibt der Mittelbereich des Rückens ohne Klebstoff beim Ansetzen der Auftragswalze, wenn diese ein gegenüber der Rückenform steileres Profil aufweist.When the applicator roller is placed on the spine of the book block with a flatter profile in relation to the spine shape, the roller leaves a parabolic-glued back surface, i. H. the corners of the back do not receive any glue. Conversely, the middle region of the back remains without adhesive when the application roller is attached, if it has a profile that is steeper than the back shape.
Diese unzulängliche Beleimung im Anfangsbereich des Buchblockrückens, die im höchsten Maße unerwünscht ist und zur Qualitätsminderung führt, ist darauf zurückzuführen, daß der Auftragswalze nicht die notwendige Zeit zur Anpassung an die Rückenkontur des durchlaufenden Buchblocks zur Verfügung steht.This inadequate gluing in the initial area of the book block spine, which is highly undesirable and leads to a reduction in quality, is due to the fact that the application roller does not have the time necessary to adapt to the back contour of the continuous book block.
Um einer solchen nicht flächendeckenden Beleimung entgegenzuwirken, wird vielfach die Auftragswalze bereits in die untere Endstellung gefahren, bevor der Buchblock die Walze erreicht, was jedoch den Nachteil in sich birgt, daß sich beim Auftreffen der Walze auf die Buchblockvorderkante eine Klebstoffwulst vor die Schnittfläche des Buchblocks legt. Verstärkt wird dieser Effekt noch insofern, als das konkave Profil der Auftragswalze unterschiedliche Umfangsgeschwindigkeiten und somit unterschiedliche Klebstoffauftragsgeschwindigkeiten erzeugt. In Abhängigkeit von der Lineargeschwindigkeit der Buchblocks läuft die Auftragswalze mit einer auf ihren mittleren Durchmesser orientierten Umlaufgeschwindigkeit, die grundsätzlich geringfügig unter der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Buchblocks liegt, mit der Folge, daß sich der Mittelbereich der Auftragswalze mit einer gegenüber der Lineargeschwindigkeit des Buchblocks verminderten Geschwindigkeit bewegt, was die Staubildung an der Schnittfläche begünstigt.In order to counteract such non-area-wide gluing, the applicator roller is often already moved into the lower end position before the book block reaches the roller, but this has the disadvantage that when the roller hits the front edge of the book block, an adhesive bead in front of the cut surface of the book block sets. This effect is intensified to the extent that the concave profile of the application roller produces different peripheral speeds and thus different adhesive application speeds. Depending on the linear speed of the book blocks, the application roller runs at an orbital speed oriented to its mean diameter, which is generally slightly below the transport speed of the book blocks, with the result that the middle region of the application roller moves at a speed which is lower than the linear speed of the book block, which favors the formation of jams on the cut surface.
Hier setzt die Erfindung ein, mit der Aufgabe, ein Verfahren zum maschinellen Auftragen von Klebstoff auf BuchblockrUcken gemäß der Gattung zu schaffen, das ein gleichmäßiges, vollflächiges Auftragen von Klebstoff auf den Buchblockrücken gewährleistet und die Verschmutzung der am Buchblockrücken angrenzenden Schnittfläche durch Klebstoff verhindert.This is where the invention comes in, with the object of creating a method for the mechanical application of adhesive to book block spines of the type which ensures a uniform, full-surface application of adhesive to the book block spine and prevents the cutting surface adjacent to the book block spine from being contaminated by adhesive.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird dadurch gelöst, daß bei einem Verfahren zum maschinellen Auftragen von Klebstoff auf Buchblockrücken od. dgl. mit einer Auftragswalze, die sich mit ihrem Umfang auf dem Buchblockrücken abwälzt und dabei einen Klebstoffilm aufträgt, die Auftragswalze zum Ansetzen am Buchblockrücken kurzzeitig mit einer gegenüber der Transportgeschwindigkeit erhöhten mittleren Umlaufgeschwindigkeit angetrieben wird. Vorteilhafterweise läuft die Auftragswalze mit einer 10-20 %igen Geschwindigkeitserhöhung. Gemäß einem weiteren Verfahrensmerkmal wird die Auftragswalze zum Absetzen vom Buchblockrücken mit einer gegenüber der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Buchblocks verringerten mittleren Umlaufgeschwindigkeit angetrieben.The object of the invention is achieved in that in a method for the mechanical application of adhesive to book block spines or the like. With an application roller, which rolls with its circumference on the book block spine and thereby applies an adhesive film, the application roller for attachment to the book block spine for a short time an average rotational speed which is higher than the transport speed is driven. The application roller advantageously runs at a 10-20% speed increase. According to a further feature of the method, the application roller for setting down the book block spine is driven at an average rotational speed which is lower than the transport speed of the book blocks.
Durch Erhöhung der Umlaufgeschwindigkeit der Auftragswalze im Zeitpunkt des Ansetzens am Buchblockrücken läßt sich eine größere Klebstoffmenge zum Rücken hin zuführen und in der Art eines Breit-oder Ausstreich/effektes vollflächig auf dem Buchblockrücken verteilen. Gleichzeitig wird durch die gegenüber dem Buchrücken höhere Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Auftragswalze ein Klebstoffwulst am Obergang zur Schnittfläche und damit eine Verschmutzung zuverlässig vermieden, da die Walze den Klebstoff von der Schnittfläche wegzieht und ihn nicht aufstaut. Es hat sich dabei gezeigt, daß eine 10-20 %ige Geschwindigkeitserhöhung zu einer optimalen Beleimung führt.By increasing the rotational speed of the application roller at the time of attachment to the spine of the book block, a larger amount of adhesive can be fed to the spine and spread over the entire surface of the spine of the book in the manner of a spreading or spreading / effect. At the same time, due to the higher peripheral speed of the applicator roller compared to the spine of the book, an adhesive bead on the transition to the cut surface and thus contamination is reliably avoided, since the roller pulls the adhesive away from the cut surface and does not build up. It has been shown that a 10-20% increase in speed leads to optimal gluing.
Selbstverständlich läßt sich das Verfahren für ein Klebstoffauftragssystem mit einer verschwenkbaren Auftragswalze sowie für eine ortsfeste Auftragswalze einsetzen.Of course, the method can be used for an adhesive application system with a pivotable application roller and for a stationary application roller.
Im Gegensatz zur Geschwindigkeitserhöhung beim Ansetzen der Auftragswalze am Buchblockrücken ist für das Absetzen der Auftragswalze eine Geschwindigkeitsverringerung von entscheidender Bedeutung. Anders als beim Ansetzen wird hiermit eine verminderte Klebstoffzufuhr erreicht sowie ein Zurückhalten des Klebstoffs von der Schnittfläche des Buchblocks. Dadurch wird auch hier eine Verschmutzung der Schnittfläche verhindert.In contrast to the increase in speed when the application roller is attached to the back of the book block, a reduction in speed is of crucial importance for the removal of the application roller. In contrast to the preparation, a reduced adhesive supply is achieved and the adhesive is retained from the cut surface of the book block. This also prevents contamination of the cut surface.
