Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for cyclically shifting a stack of rectangular or square images or to a so-called image changer.
• Image changers are known from US Patents 4238898, 4238899, 4241528, 4241529, 4245417, 5259802 and 4376348. All of them are based on the principle that a stack of images, in particular photo prints, is taken up by two frame parts which are displaceable relative to one another, one of which has a viewing window. Each with a complete movement cycle of the frame parts (e.g. in the form of a housing and a slide) - i.e. completely pulling apart and completely pushing back together - an image is taken from one end of the stack and added again at the other end of the stack.
• the picture changers have the following components:
• a separator that releases a single image from the stack; a feeder that feeds images to the separator; a holding device which holds the frame separated from the stack in one of the frame parts while the remaining stack is held in the other frame part; a guide device which guides the separated single image so that it reaches the other side of the remaining stack.
• the shifting process takes place in such a way that an image moves parallel to its own plane and parallel to one of its edge pairs translationally from one side of the stack to "next" to the rest of the stack, then moves to the other side of the stack and finally translationally back to the other side Remaining stack is moved too.
• this movement can be carried out parallel to the pair of edges whose distance is maintained more precisely (roll width of the primary material). Then the stroke of the frame parts must be adjusted to the longest expected length. This shows that there are hardly any insurmountable difficulties when rearranging extremely short photo prints.
• the object of the present invention is to provide a device for cyclically rearranging a stack of images, which is suitable for photo prints.
• This object is achieved in that the image which is isolated during the U-shift is secured against rotation about an axis perpendicular to its main plane during the shifting cycle, irrespective of lateral boundaries of its movement path.
• Fig. 1 shows in Darws looks and partially cut an image changer with a slider partially extended.
• Fig. 2 to 10 show sections and details of the image changer of Fig. 1.
• FIGS. 9 and 10 show an alternative embodiment of the device of FIGS. 9 and 10.
• FIG. 13 shows a further embodiment of an image changer in a top view and partially cut open with the slider extended on one half of the figure.
• Fig. 47 to 62 show alternative separation devices.
• 1 to 10 comprises a housing 12 as the first frame part and a slide 14 for receiving a stack of images as the second frame part, the slide 14 out of the housing 12 by a stroke limited by stops 16 on the slide and counter stops 18 on the housing can be pulled out and inserted again.
• the separating device is formed by a separator web 20.
• the feed device is embodied by hooks 22 which are seated on leaf spring arms 24.
• the holding device for holding the remaining stack in the slide is also formed by the separator web, while the separated individual image in the housing by the interaction of rails arranged in the housing and provided with an adhesive coating 26 with the individual image clamping against them, by contact with them for circulation driven rollers 28 is aged.
• the guide device is embodied by pairs of leaf springs 30 and spring arms 32 formed in one piece with the spring arms 24.
• the spring arms 24 and 32 press in the inserted state of the Slider 14 the stack of images (not shown in Fig. 1) against a viewing window, the inner contour of which is designated 34.
• the top picture in the stack, a photo print should then be as flat as possible; for this purpose it is supported on its circumference in a plane which is defined by lateral ribs 36, the underside of a handle-sliding part 38 and on the opposite side by ribs 40 formed on the housing.
• Fig. 1 shows the partially extended position of the slide 14. In the inserted state, the separator web lies beyond these ribs 40; however, since it protrudes further to the window 35, which corresponds to the level of these ribs, it has incisions 42 for passing through the same.
• edges of the stack are supported laterally (i.e. parallel to the direction of extension) by bars 44 of the slide.
• the edges are supported by the stop surface 46 of a centrally arranged handle 48 and by lateral stop surfaces 50 on the slide.
• the edges of the photos are supported on stops 52 formed on the housing, for which the separator web also has passage recesses 54, which are, however, considerably deeper than those for the ribs 40.
• the rib 36 extends further into the interior of the slide than corresponds to the level defined by the upper edge 55 of the slide bars, so that the photos cannot slide laterally outwards over the slide bars. The corresponding effect occurs between the separator web on the one hand and ribs 40 on the other.
• the handle 48 has an upper plate 56 lying on the window side of the housing and a lower plate 57 which is wider than the upper plate; the top wall 58 of the housing surrounding the window in the manner of a frame has a cutout 59 in the region of the upper plate, while the opposite housing wall for the lower plate 57 is recessed at 60 in a complementary manner. Accordingly, the device in the closed state has a self-contained, substantially rectangular contour without protruding parts.
• the housing and the slide are molded plastic parts.
• the slide is a one-piece element, consisting of bars, separator web, handle and one the handle with the bars - the Have an L-shaped cross section - connecting end wall 61.
• the housing is composed of three parts: the lower shell 62 with the housing base 63, the frame-like upper shell 64 with window cutout, and the window 35 inserted into this.
• the housing is stiffened in the direction of the slide movement in that the struts between the cover and Bottom wall are designed as double beams, as can be seen in Fig. 6.
• the housing parts can be welded together, or a snap connection can be provided.
• the window has a narrow, outwardly projecting edge 66 around its main surface, so that it protrudes somewhat from the frame surrounding it.
• a recess complementary to the contour of this edge is designated 67 on the outside of the opposite bottom wall and permits a plurality of housings to be stacked one on top of the other.
• a shoe 69 belongs to each step 68, and each step / shoe system is arranged on both sides of the plane of symmetry 70 of the device.
• the shoes are longitudinally guided in the separator web, supported with a cutting edge bearing and pretensioned by an inserted wire spring 71.
• a roller is rotatably received in each shoe about an axis perpendicular to the pull-out direction, and the roller 28 protrudes somewhat from the shoe.
• the spring arms 32 are also overrun by the separator web. So that they do not burden the separated image from below during the passage of the ends attacking the stack, they are mechanically pressed towards the housing bottom during a certain phase of the pull-out stroke.
• runners 73 are formed on the slide bars 44, which sweep over extensions 74 projecting laterally from the spring arms and hold the arms on a partial stroke in accordance with their length. Additional runners 75 on the slide bars run onto the spring arms 24 on the widening 76 as soon as the individual photo is securely clamped between the adhesive covering and the rollers, and also press these arms away from the viewing window, so that other photos can be filled in unhindered, others can see.
• the spring arms 32 are released again after a short stroke, so that they reach under the isolated photo again and gradually lead its rear edge towards the window. Finally, under the action of the springs, this edge lies against the Top of the housing. Since the free ends of the spring arms are rounded, but on the other hand this edge is to be securely clamped in the position reached on the spring arms a short piece straight, designed in Fig. 4 with 77. The rounded end of the spring arm finds space in a recess on the inside of the housing top wall, designated 78 in FIG. 5.
• the two hooks 22, the two shoes 69, the adhesive pads 26 and the spring arms 32 are all each arranged symmetrically with respect to the central plane of the overall device, and the two hooks 22 lie as precisely as possible on a line perpendicular to this plane of symmetry.
• the result of this is that the photo to be changed also goes through the change process without being rotated if it is not guided on the slide bars due to undersize.
• the dimensional tolerances of photos are different for the same nominal size in the transverse and longitudinal directions: Since in the development institutes the paper is processed from rolls of a width which is kept to a very precise extent and which are then cut to different lengths, it is preferred to provide the photo dimension in the direction of the slide movement, which is more closely tolerated.
• the individual photo of the spring arms 32 is clamped in front of the stops 52 formed on the housing and is supported at four points in the direction of the separator web by the spring arms 79, 80.
• the other transverse edge of the photo facing the separator web can sag downwards; the side of the separator facing it is, however, chamfered in a wedge shape so that the edge is gradually raised when the separator web runs towards it.
• the handle-sliding part 38 is slidably received in the handle and is spring-loaded in the direction of the housing, as can be clearly seen in FIG. 3.
• the slide When the slide is inserted, its free edge 82 meets a stop 83 provided in the housing, as a result of which it is pressed back into the handle and does not protrude into the space visible through the housing window. After pulling it out, however, it secures the photos in the slide against falling out. To change the photos, it can be pushed back by hand, which is made easier by the finger edge 84.
• the photos can be pressed out from the underside of the slider, reaching between the bars, or grasped from above next to the handle.
• the separated photo always remains in the housing. It is not possible or not readily to remove it from the 'apparatus. In order to be able to remove the stack, even if it consists of only one image, a special device is therefore provided.
• a control bridge 85 is slidably received in the housing, held by clamps 86 formed on the housing.
• the bridge carries a control button 87 which passes through the rear wall 88 of the housing and protrudes slightly beyond the changer contour. When the finger is pressed on the button, the bridge runs onto wedges 89 on the housing base and is thereby lifted towards the window.
• the width of the bridge fits into a corresponding cutout 90 in the separator and blocks the passage gap of the separating device on the entire extension stroke of the slide, so that each image in the device must be transported out with the slide.
• the photos should be tel be kept at a distance from the window pane so that it does not come into contact with the image surface during the change processes, as a result of which scratch damage would occur.
• the photos are not (always) flat, but usually have a curvature either in the longitudinal or transverse direction.
• the ribs 36 which are effective over the entire extension stroke are sufficient.
• the handle-sliding part is effective, but the opposite section of the separator web would hardly be able to absorb the considerable stresses which arise in a thicker stack similarly arched photos emerge.
• the slide front wall near the spars has inclined surfaces 92 which are essentially parallel to the opposite separator slope.
• the photos are thus diagonally staggered between the separator and inclined surfaces, as a result of which a large part of the stresses in the stack are distributed over the entire surface of the separator.
• an increase 93 is provided in the middle of the separator web, which absorbs the residual tension of those photos which are supported on the stop surfaces 50 perpendicular to their edge.
• a rack 94 is injection molded onto the housing, with which a gear 95 meshes, which is formed in one piece with its shaft 96.
• the shaft is seated in an elongated hole 97 in the slide spar 44 parallel to the toothed rack, into which it is pressed in by means of a leaf spring 98 supported on the housing and molded onto the gearwheel.
• the slot is divided by a rib 99 into two parts, in which the shaft 96 has little lateral play.
• locking lugs 100, 101 are formed on both sides of the elongated hole on the slide and lie in the plane of the gear rim of the gearwheel and can engage with the tips thereof.
• the holding device is embodied by the rollers 28 in cooperation with the adhesive coverings 26 on the largest part of the slide extension stroke, but also on the last part of the stroke, shortly before reaching the end position, the spring arms 32, by clinging the single photo, act as a "continuation" of the holding device.
• each sheet that has been shifted is never released during the entire shifting cycle, but is detected at at least two points and thus secured against rotation. It is therefore always under control, here with axially symmetrical means.
• the stack-parallel legs of the slide bars, on which the isolated sheet is supported during the layering process may be at most such a distance from each other that a short photo, which lies with one edge straight on a vertical leg, from the opposite bar on the other edge is still held.
• the device has the viewing window in the upper shell of the housing.
• the dimension of the window in the direction transverse to the direction of movement is at most so large that the shortest possible photo, even if it is off-center, does not present itself with its edge in the field of vision.
• the configuration of the spring system described and illustrated above, formed by the cut in one piece and in pairs sym metrically arranged springs with spring arms 24 and 32, fulfills a total of five functions.
• the hooks 22 formed on them form the feed device, the hooks ultimately taking only one sheet into the separating device.
• both arms together - more precisely, the four arms of both springs - form a pressure system with which the stack is pressed cleanly against the window when the device is at rest.
• the arm 32 after having been overrun by the separator, serves to convey the single sheet to the top wall of the housing and, fourthly, to clamp it there.
• the arms 32 are arranged close enough to the adhesive coverings 26 that they can peel off a single sheet that may adhere to the adhesive cover due to static charge due to its pretensioning force. It should be noted that the arm 32 is shaped and arranged in such a way that it can be overrun by the separator web without causing interference with the smooth handling.
• FIGS. 9 and 10 show a variant of the locking device according to FIGS. 9 and 10.

• FIG. 53 longitudinal section
• 54 partial cross section
• a holder 248 is formed, which holds a stationary end of an elastic leaf spring 250 clamped in on the broad side .
• the rounded end of the leaf spring follows the step 68 and, after passing through its edge 72, lies on the isolated leaf 188.
• FIG. 55 longitudinal section
• 56 partial cross section
• 14 resiliently deflectable separating element in the form of a separator web 20, which can be pivoted in the slide bars 44 about a shaft 252, but is held by a spring arrangement 240 with its edge 254 in contact with the opposite part, that is to say initially at step 68 and after passing its edge 72 on the separated sheet 188.
• FIGS. 57 (longitudinal section) and 58 (partial cross section) comprises a housing 12 as the first frame and a slide 14 as the second frame part.
• a foot plate 256 is inserted between the bars 44 of the slide and forms a first separating element.
• the second separating element is a separator web 20 preloaded relative to the slide in the direction of the housing base 218 by a spring arrangement 240, which is guided on rails 258 and has stop shoes 246 on its lower end on both sides of the sheet to be separated.
• 59 (longitudinal section) and 60 (partial cross section) show an embodiment in which the first frame part is formed by a slide 14 which can be pushed back and forth relative to a housing 12 as the second frame part.
• the maximum stroke of the slide is limited by stops, which, however, are not drawn for the sake of clarity.
• a separator web 20 is integrally formed on the housing 12 as the first separating element, against which a second separating element in the form of an articulated (joint 260) plate 264 is provided, which is supported by a spring 240 in contact with lateral support extensions 262 of the separator web is pressed. Plate 264 can thus compensate for manufacturing-related tolerances, while the gap height is always determined by the height of the extensions 262, which is practically unchangeable.
• 61 (longitudinal section) and 62 (partial cross section) show an embodiment in which the housing 12 forms the second frame part and a (not shown) slide the first frame part j on the housing is a separator web 20 slidably movable transversely to the main stack plane guided and is pretensioned by a spring arrangement 240. With its support extensions 262, it defines the gap height, which is defined on the other side by the housing top wall 266.
• the feeding device can also be designed differently.
• the separating device can be conveyed by means of a roller or roller driven by the relative movement of the frame parts, or an adhesive coating can be brought into frictional engagement on the side of the image to be separated away from the stack.
• an adhesive coating can be brought into frictional engagement on the side of the image to be separated away from the stack.
• the holding device - as in the exemplary embodiments described first - can comprise a plurality of holding devices which act alternately or simultaneously on the individual image, controlled by the frame part movement in such a way that the individual image is always held by at least one device.
• the feed device also has a holding function.
