Abstract

The part-webs which, preferentially, have been produced by longitudinal slitting over a former are fed over separate folding-blade cylinders, each of which is equipped with needle pins and to each of which a cutting cylinder is assigned, to a common folding-jaw cylinder. From this, the printed products are fed in a slightly overlapped condition to a collecting unit positioned before the third fold (normally, the second longitudinal fold) and superimposed in a predetermined order. They may then be jointly folded once more, longitudinally or cross-wise as desired. In a different operating mode, the individual printed products are separated in such a way that they can be fed to two third-fold stations, making delivery of finished work to two stacking positions possible. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Falzapparat zum Querfalzen aus mindestens einer Druckträgerbahn zugeschnittener Druckexemplare mittels eines Falzmessers und Falzklappenzylinders (zweiter Falz) und einer Transportvorrichtung zum Oberfuhren der quergefalzten Druckexemplare zum dritten Falz.The invention relates to a folder for cross folding from at least one print carrier sheet of cut copies by means of a folding knife and folding jaw cylinder (second fold) and a transport device for guiding the cross-folded copies to the third fold.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Falzapparat in der Weise weiterzubilden, daß wahlweise ein Sammeln vor dem dritten Falz oder eine Doppelproduktion möglich ist, wobei vorzugsweise die vor dem dritten Falz zu sammelnden Druckexemplare unterschiedlicher Art von getrennten Teilbahnen einem gemeinsamen Falzklappenzylinder zuführbar sein sollen.The object of the invention is to further develop a folder in such a way that it is optionally possible to collect before the third fold or double production, the printed copies to be collected before the third fold preferably having different types of separate partial webs being able to be fed to a common folder cylinder.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen sowie aus der Beschreibung in Verbindung mit den Zeichnungen. In diesen zeigen schematisch:

  • Fig.l ein Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Falzapparates mit einer ersten Sammelvorrichtung,
  • Fig.2 ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung mit einer anderen Ausführungsform der Sammelleitung und
  • Fig.3 bis 5 Falzprodukte.
This object is achieved by applying the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Further developments result from the subclaims and from the description in conjunction with the drawings. These show schematically:
  • 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of the folder according to the invention with a first collecting device,
  • 2 shows another embodiment of the invention with another embodiment of the manifold and
  • Fig. 3 to 5 folded products.

Wie Fig.l schematisch zeigt, wird vorzugsweise eine Druckträgerbahn 1 über einen Falztrichter 2 zugeführt, wobei die Druckträgerbahn 1 längsgeschnitten wird. Die schematisch angedeutete Längsschneidevorrichtung 3 besteht üblicherweise aus einem am Falztrichter 2 angesetzten, rotierenden Schneidmesser. Die Druckträgerbahn 1 wird über nicht näher bezeichnete Trichtereinlaufwalzen Zugwalzen 4, 5 zugeführt, hinter denen die längsgeschnittene Druckträgerbahn 1 in Form einer Teilbahn la und einer Teilbahn 1b weitergeführt wird. Die Teilbahn lb läuft zwischen einer Perforiervorrichtung, gebildet durch Perforierzylinder 6, 7, hindurch und gelangt über weitere Zugwalzen 8, 9 zu einem Falzmesserzylinder 12, an den ein Schneidmesserzylinder 11 angestellt wird, um die Druckexemplare A1 in einer gewünschten Länge zu erzeugen.As Fig.l shows schematically, a print carrier web 1 is preferably fed via a former 2, wherein the print carrier web 1 is cut longitudinally. The schematically indicated longitudinal cutting device 3 usually consists of a rotating cutting knife attached to the former 2. The print carrier web 1 is fed via funnel inlet rollers (not shown in more detail) to the pull rollers 4, 5, behind which the longitudinally cut print carrier web 1 is continued in the form of a partial web la and a partial web 1b. The partial web 1b runs between a perforating device, formed by perforating cylinders 6, 7, and passes via further pulling rollers 8, 9 to a folding knife cylinder 12, against which a cutting knife cylinder 11 is placed in order to produce the printed copies A1 in a desired length.

Mit Hilfe von Punkturen 12'am Falzmesserzylinder 12 ist auch ein Sammeln möglich. Durch die Falzmesser 12" des Falzmesserzylinders 12 werden die gesammelten oder nicht gesammelten Falzexemplare A1 unter Bildung des sogenannten zweiten Falzes (erster Querfalz) in entsprechende Falzklappen 13' des Falzklappenzylinders 13 gestoßen. Es ist bekannt, daß zur Bildung eines zweiten Querfalzes auf dem Falzklappenzylinder 13 ein weiterer Falzmesserzylinder 14 an den Falzklappenzylinder 13 angestellt wird. In erfindungsgemäßer Weise wird dieser zweite Falzmesserzylinder 14, der mit entsprechenden Punkturen 141 auszugestalten ist, zur Zuführung der Teilbahn la verwendet. Es bedarf lediglich eines weiteren Schneidmesserzylinders 15 am Falzmesserzylinder 14, um von der Teilbahn la Druckexemplare A2 einer bestimmten Länge abzuschneiden. In vorteilhafter Weise ist es nunmehr möglich, von dem an sich bekannten zweiten Falzmesserzylinder 14 die Druckexemplare A2 von der Teilbahn 1a zur Bildung eines Querfalzes (dies ist ebenfalls der sogenannte zweite Falz) in entsprechende Falzklappen 12' des Falzklappenzylinders 13 zu stoßen. Die Druckexemplare A1, A2 können von unterschiedlicher Art sein, beispielsweise kann es sich bei den Druckexemplaren Al um Prospekte der Damenmode und bei den Druckexemplaren A2 um Prospekte der Herrenmode handeln, die gemeinsam in eine Tageszeitung eingelegt werden sollen. Wie in Fig.1 gestrichelt angedeutet, sind am Falzklappenzylinder 13 zwei Systeme mit jeweils drei Falzklappen zueinander verschiebbar vorhanden oder es sind zusätzliche Falzklappen eingebaut, falls die Zylinderteile nicht weit genug verschiebbar sind. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Druckexemplare A1, bezogen auf die Druckexemplare A2, in leicht überlappter Weise von dem Falzklappenzylinder 13 an die nachfolgende Transportvorrichtung in Form von Bandleitungen 17, 17' zu übergeben.With the help of punctures 12 'on the folding knife cylinder 12, collecting is also possible. The folded or not-collected fold copies A1 are pushed into the corresponding folding jaws 13 ′ of the folding jaw cylinder 13 by the folding blades 12 ″ of the folding blade cylinder 12, forming the so-called second fold (first transverse fold). It is known that to form a second transverse fold on the folding jaw cylinder 13 a further folding knife cylinder 14 is placed against the folding jaw cylinder 13. In the manner according to the invention, this second folding knife cylinder 14, which is to be designed with corresponding punctures 14 1 , is used for feeding the partial web 1a To cut off partial web la printed copies A2 of a certain length It is now advantageously possible to print copies A2 from the known second folding knife cylinder 14 from partial web 1a to form a transverse fold (this is also the so-called second fold) in a corresponding folding flap to push pen 12 'of the jaw cylinder 13. The printed copies A1, A2 can be of different types, for example the printed copies A1 can be brochures of the women's fashion and the printed copies A2 can be the brochures of the men's fashion which are to be inserted together in a daily newspaper. As indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 1, two systems, each with three folding jaws, are displaceable relative to one another on the folding jaw cylinder 13, or additional folding jaws are installed if the cylinder parts cannot be displaced far enough. This makes it possible to print copies A1 in relation to print copies A2 slightly overlapped to pass from the jaw cylinder 13 to the subsequent transport device in the form of ribbon lines 17, 17 '.

Hinter den Bandleitungen 17, 17' ist eine Weiche 16 angedeutet, mit deren Hilfe in einer Betriebsart in einer vorgegebenen Folge die vorzugsweise bereits jeweils quergefalzten Druckexemplare A1 und A2 in unterschiedliche weitere Bandleitungen 18, 18' bzw. 19, 20 zu übergeben, um diese zwei dritten Falze vorzugsweise in Form von je einer Längsfalzvorrichtung 21, 22 zu übergeben. Derartige Längsfalzvorrichtungen, wie bei 21, 22 angedeutet ist, sind allgemein bekannt und bestehen jeweils aus einem Falzwalzenpaar, in das ein Falzmesser einführbar ist.Behind the ribbon cables 17, 17 'a switch 16 is indicated, with the aid of which, in one operating mode, in a predetermined sequence, to transfer the preferably already cross-folded printed copies A1 and A2 into different further ribbon cables 18, 18' and 19, 20 in order to transfer them to transfer two third folds, preferably in the form of a longitudinal folding device 21, 22. Such longitudinal folding devices, as indicated at 21, 22, are generally known and each consist of a pair of folding rollers into which a folding knife can be inserted.

Ist es jedoch erforderlich oder gewünscht, daß z.B. vorgefalzte Druckexemplare unterschiedlicher Art, beispielsweise Herrenmode und Damenmode, gemeinsam als Falzprodukt ausgegeben werden sollen und zwar in der Weise, daß ein Druckexemplar das andere umschließt, aber das innere Druckexemplar leicht entfernbar ist (Fig.3), so bietet die vorliegende Erfindung die Möglichkeit, vor dem dritten Falz eine Verzögerung in Form einer Sammelvorrichtung vorzusehen, durch die in einer bestimmten Weise Druckexemplare, beispielsweise A1, verzögert und einem nachfolgenden Druckexemplar, beispielsweise A2, zugeordnet, d.h. vorderkantengenau auf dieses aufgelegt werden können. Anschließend werden die beiden aufeinanderliegenden Druckexemplare A1, A2 gemeinsam dem dritten Falz (vorzugsweise zweiter Längsfalz) zugeführt und gemeinsam gefalzt. Es entsteht ein Falzprodukt gemäß Fig.3. Dadurch ergibt sich der wesentliche Vorteil, daß mit einem einzigen Arbeitsvorgang die beiden Druckexemplare A1, A2 unterschiedlicher Art in eine Zeitschrift, beispielsweise eine Tageszeitung, eingelegt werden können.However, is it necessary or desirable that e.g. pre-folded printed copies of different types, for example men's fashion and women's fashion, are to be issued together as a folded product and in such a way that one printed copy encloses the other but the inner printed copy is easily removable (FIG. 3), the present invention offers the possibility of to provide a delay before the third fold in the form of a collecting device, by means of which print copies, for example A1, are delayed in a certain way and assigned to a subsequent print copy, for example A2, ie can be placed on the leading edge of this. Then the two superimposed printed copies A1, A2 are fed together to the third fold (preferably second longitudinal fold) and folded together. A folded product according to FIG. 3 is created. This has the essential advantage that the two printed copies A1, A2 of different types can be inserted into a magazine, for example a daily newspaper, in a single operation.

Die Sammelvorrichtung ist bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig.1 als Bandleitung mit einem inneren und äußeren Band 28, 29 ausgebildet. Dadurch ergibt sich für die durch die steuerbare Weiche 16 eingeschleusten Druckexemplare A1 ein Umweg, so daß diese verzögert und auf ein nachfolgendes Druckexemplar A2 gelegt werden können. Durch Betätigen einer weiteren Weiche 16' am oberen Bereich der Sammelvorrichtung 28, 29 ist es möglich, die Druckexemplare A1 über die Bandleitung 18, 18' der zweiten dritten Falzvorrichtung 21 zuzuleiten. In diesem Falle würden die Druckexemplare A2 geradeaus direkt zu der ersten dritten Falzvorrichtung 22 gelangen. Damit lassen sich Produkte nach Fig.5 in doppeltem Nutzen herstellen.In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the collecting device is designed as a band line with an inner and outer band 28, 29. This results in a detour for the printed copies A1 introduced through the controllable switch 16, so that these can be delayed and placed on a subsequent printed copy A2. By actuating a further switch 16 'on the upper region of the collecting device 28, 29 it is possible to print the printed copies A1 via the ribbon line 18, 18' of the second to supply third folding device 21. In this case, the printed copies A2 would go straight to the first third folder 22. This means that products according to Fig. 5 can be produced in two ways.

Die nicht näher bezeichneten Umlenkwalzen für die Bandleitungen 28, 29 sind vorzugsweise verschieb- bzw. verschwenkbar um die gewünschten Wegverhältnisse einzustellen.The deflection rollers for the ribbon cables 28, 29, which are not described in any more detail, are preferably displaceable or pivotable in order to set the desired path conditions.

Fig.2 zeigt eine Variante, bei der für identische Bauteile gleiche Bezugszeichen wie in Fig.1 verwendet wurden. In vorteilhafter Weise wird bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig.2 der üblicherweise vorhandene Perforierzylinder 7 verschwenkbar an Hebeln 7b gelagert, so daß er an den zweiten Falzmesserzylinder 14 angestellt werden kann. Dadurch erübrigt sich der zusätzliche Einsatz eines separaten Schneidmesserzylinders, wie das bei dem Schneidmesserzylinder 15 gemäß Fig.1 der Fall ist.2 shows a variant in which the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 have been used for identical components. In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the perforating cylinder 7, which is usually present, is advantageously pivotably mounted on levers 7b, so that it can be placed on the second folding knife cylinder 14. This eliminates the additional use of a separate cutting knife cylinder, as is the case with the cutting knife cylinder 15 according to FIG. 1.

Anstelle einer Bandleitung wird bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig.2 ein Zylinder 25 verwendet, der mit Greifern 25' ausgestattet ist. Durch die steuerbare Weiche 26 kann festgelegt werden, ob die Druckexemplare Al, A2 abwechselnd über die Bandleitungen 18, 18' und 19, 20 den beiden dritten Falzvorrichtungen 21 und 22 zugeleitet werden, um die gewünschte Produktion zu erhalten, oder ob in einer bestimmten Folge die Druckexemplare beispielsweise jeweils A1 von einem Greifer 25' des Zylinders 25 erfaßt und einmal um diesen herumgeführt werden oder wie dargestellt, über ein Bandleitungssystem 27 um den Zylinder geführt wird. Dadurch ist es möglich, vorderkantengenau die vorzugsweise einmal quergefalzten Druckexemplare unterschiedlicher Art in einer einzigen Vorrichtung vor dem dritten Falz zu sammeln und vorderkantengerecht übereinanderzulegen. Bei dieser Sammelbetriebsweise vor dem dritten Falz können gewünschtenfalls die beiden Druckexemplare Al, A2 gemeinsam im dritten Falz längsgefalzt werden, so daß das Falzprodukt entsteht wie bei 23 in Fig.3 angedeutet. Wahlweise ist es selbstverständlich möglich, die bereits quergefalzten Druckexemplare Al, A2 ohne nochmaligen Falz gemeinsam über ein nicht dargestelltes Schaufelrad, das in Laufrichtung nach dem dritten Falz 22 angeordnet ist, auszulegen, wodurch das Falzprodukt (24) gemäß Fig.4 entsteht.Instead of a ribbon cable, a cylinder 25 is used in the embodiment according to FIG. 2, which is equipped with grippers 25 '. The controllable switch 26 can be used to determine whether the printed copies A1, A2 are alternately fed via the ribbon lines 18, 18 'and 19, 20 to the two third folding devices 21 and 22 in order to obtain the desired production or in a specific sequence the printed copies, for example, each A1 is gripped by a gripper 25 'of the cylinder 25 and guided around it once or, as shown, is guided around the cylinder via a belt line system 27. As a result, it is possible to collect the preferably once transversely folded printed copies of different types in a single device in front of the third fold and to lay them on top of one another in accordance with the leading edges. In this collective mode of operation before the third fold, if desired, the two printed copies A1, A2 can be longitudinally folded together in the third fold, so that the folded product is produced as indicated at 23 in FIG. 3. Optionally, it is of course possible to lay out the cross-folded printed copies Al, A2 together without repeated folds using a paddle wheel, not shown, which is arranged after the third fold 22 in the running direction, whereby the folded product (24) according to FIG. 4 is produced.

Bisher war eine derartige Produktion nach Fig.3 nur mit Hilfe von zwei Falzapparaten durchführbar und es mußten aufwendige, manuelle oder maschinelle Arbeitsgänge bei der Weiterverarbeitung eingeschaltet werden.Up to now, such a production according to FIG. 3 could only be carried out with the aid of two folders and complex, manual or mechanical work steps had to be switched on during further processing.
