Description

La présente invention concerne des perfection­nements apportés aux machines imprimantes fournissant des documents feuille à feuille et équipées d'un dispo­sitif d'extraction des documents imprimés.The present invention relates to improvements made to printing machines supplying sheet-by-sheet documents and equipped with a device for extracting printed documents.

Les machines de ce type sont, jusqu'à présent, équipées d'un bac de réception des documents imprimés qui est situé en arrière de la sortie de documents, c'est-à-dire en principe en arrière de la machine; un bac ainsi disposé est d'un accès malaisé pour un opérateur qui se tient devant le pupitre de commande de la machine en principe situé sur le devant de celle-ci.Machines of this type have, up to now, been fitted with a tray for receiving printed documents which is situated behind the document outlet, that is to say in principle behind the machine; a tray thus arranged is difficult to access for an operator who stands in front of the machine's control console, in principle located on the front thereof.

En outre, les feuilles sortent de la machine avec leur face imprimée tournée vers l'opérateur, donc vers l'avant de la machine, et sont ensuite dirigées vers le bac de réception sans subir de retournement : elles sont donc reçues dans le bac avec leur face imprimée tournée vers le haut. Par conséquent, elles s'empilent dans l'ordre inverse de la pagination et il est ensuite nécessaire de les reclasser dans l'ordre convenable.In addition, the sheets come out of the machine with their printed side facing the operator, therefore towards the front of the machine, and are then directed towards the reception tray without undergoing reversal: they are therefore received in the tray with with their printed side facing up. Therefore, they stack in the reverse order of pagination and it is then necessary to reclassify them in the proper order.

L'invention a donc pour but de proposer un per­fectionnement des machines imprimantes du type considéré afin d'offrir la possibilité de remédier aux inconvé­nients énoncés plus haut de l'agencement actuel de ces machines, sans pour autant que ledit agencement soit supprimé car, à côté de ses inconvénients, il offre ce­pendant certains avantages (notamment possibilité de contrôle rapide de l'impression au fur et à mesure de la sortie des documents imprimés).The object of the invention is therefore to propose an improvement of the printing machines of the type under consideration in order to offer the possibility of remedying the drawbacks stated above of the current arrangement of these machines, without, however, said arrangement being eliminated because, aside from its drawbacks, it does however offer certain advantages (in particular the possibility of rapid control of printing as and when the output of the printed documents).

De ce fait, le but de l'invention est de propo­ser un perfectionnement des machines du type précité afin qu'elles offrent, au choix de l'utilisateur, la possibilité d'une réception des documents imprimés soit à l'endroit, soit à l'envers et soit à l'avant, soit à l'arrière de la machine. A ces fins, une machine impri­mante, conforme à l'invention se caractérise en ce qu'elle est équipée, en aval du dispositif d'extraction, d'un dispositif d'aiguillage apte à diriger le document imprimé, impression tournée vers le haut, dans un pre­mier bac de réception, ou bien, impression tournée vers le bas, dans un second bac de réception.Therefore, the object of the invention is to propose an improvement of the machines of the aforementioned type so that they offer, at the choice of the user, the possibility of receiving printed documents either upright, upside down and either at the front or at the rear of the machine. For these purposes, a printing machine in accordance with the invention is characterized in that it is equipped, downstream of the extraction device, with a switching device capable of directing the printed document, printing facing upwards. , in a first receiving tray, or, printing turned down, in a second receiving tray.

De préférence, le premier bac précité de récep­tion de documents est celui équipant normalement la machine et est situé vers l'arrière de la machine par rapport à la sortie des documents et le second bac pré­cité est prévu vers l'avant de la machine.Preferably, the first aforementioned tray for receiving documents is that normally fitted to the machine and is located towards the rear of the machine relative to the document outlet and the aforementioned second tray is provided towards the front of the machine.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le disposi­tif d'aiguillage comporte, d'une part, une pièce de gui­dage s'étendant sur toute la longueur de la sortie de documents et possédant une face de guidage, tournée vers ladite sortie de documents, en forme de dièdre, dont le sommet est pointé en direction de ladite sortie, ladite pièce de guidage étant montée mobile en rotation autour d'un axe sensiblement parallèle à la sortie de documents et, d'autre part, des moyens de commande permettant de déplacer la pièce de guidage en rotation entre deux positions pour lesquelles le sommet du dièdre est situé d'un côté ou de l'autre de la sortie de documents, res­pectivement, de manière que les documents soient dirigés vers un bac ou vers l'autre.In a preferred embodiment, the switching device comprises, on the one hand, a guide piece extending over the entire length of the document outlet and having a guide face, facing towards said document outlet, in dihedral shape, the apex of which points in the direction of said outlet, said guide piece being mounted so as to be able to rotate about an axis substantially parallel to the outlet of documents and, on the other hand, control means making it possible to move the guide piece rotating between two positions for which the top of the dihedral is located on one side or the other of the document outlet, respectively, so that the documents are directed towards a tray or towards the other.

Avantageusement, chaque surface de la face de guidage du dièdre est concave pour faciliter le guidage des documents.Advantageously, each surface of the dihedral guide face is concave to facilitate the guiding of the documents.

De façon souhaitable, les bacs de réception des documents imprimés sont sensiblement horizontaux.Desirably, the trays for receiving the printed documents are substantially horizontal.

Grâce à cet agencement, on obtient une machine offrant deux possibilités de réception des documents, ceci grâce à la mise en oeuvre de moyens simples à réa­ liser et à utiliser. Il en résulte une plus grande souplesse d'utilisation de la machine ainsi qu'une sim­plification du travail de l'opérateur qui peut recevoir, dans un endroit facilement accessible, les documents imprimés empilés dans l'ordre de la pagination et prêts à l'agrafage, tout en conservant la possibilité d'une réception des documents avec leur face imprimée tournée vers le haut, en vue d'un contrôle permanent par exemple.Thanks to this arrangement, a machine is obtained offering two possibilities for receiving documents, this thanks to the implementation of simple means to react. read and use. This results in greater flexibility of use of the machine as well as a simplification of the work of the operator who can receive, in an easily accessible place, the printed documents stacked in the order of pagination and ready for stapling, while retaining the possibility of receiving documents with their printed side facing up, for permanent control for example.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit d'un mode de réalisa­tion préféré donné uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif. Dans cette description, on se réfère au des­sin annexé sur lequel les figures 1 et 2 sont deux vues très schématiques d'une partie de machine imprimante agencée conformément à l'invention, et montrée respec­tivement dans deux positions fonctionnelles différentes.The invention will be better understood on reading the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment given solely by way of nonlimiting example. In this description, reference is made to the appended drawing in which FIGS. 1 and 2 are two very schematic views of a part of a printing machine arranged in accordance with the invention, and shown respectively in two different functional positions.

Sur les figures, la référence numérique 1 désigne le capotage d'une machine imprimante dont seul est montré, très schématiquement, le dispositif d'im­pression 2. La circulation du support d'impression (feuille de papier) est schématisée par la flèche 3; ce support d'impression est, après impression, délivré feuille par feuille par une sortie 4 équipée d'un dispo­sitif d'extraction 5 qui, en principe, est constitué sous forme d'un laminoir équipé de deux rouleaux 6 con­trarotatifs et en prise mutuelle, dont l'un est entraîné par des moyens moteurs (non représentés). Dans l'exemple représenté sur le dessin, la machine est supposée pos­séder une sortie vers le haut, avec une trajectoire de sortie du papier qui est sensiblement verticale et ascendante.In the figures, the reference numeral 1 designates the covering of a printing machine of which only is shown, very schematically, the printing device 2. The circulation of the printing medium (sheet of paper) is shown diagrammatically by the arrow 3; this printing medium is, after printing, delivered sheet by sheet by an outlet 4 equipped with an extraction device 5 which, in principle, is constituted in the form of a rolling mill equipped with two counter-rotating rollers 6 and in mutual engagement , one of which is driven by motor means (not shown). In the example shown in the drawing, the machine is assumed to have an upward outlet, with a paper exit path which is substantially vertical and upward.

Sur les figures, on a supposé que l'avant de la machine était situé sur la droite (repère AV) tandis que l'arrière était situé à gauche (repère AR).In the figures, it has been assumed that the front of the machine is located on the right (mark AV) while the rear is located on the left (mark AR).

Conformément à l'invention, en regard de la zone de contact des rouleaux 6 est situé un dispositif d'ai­guillage 7 qui comporte une pièce de guidage 8 s'éten­dant sur toute la longueur de la sortie et qui possède une face de guidage 9, tournée vers les rouleaux, en forme de dièdre dont le sommet 10 est pointé en direc­tion des rouleaux. Pour faciliter le glissement des feuilles de papier sur l'une ou l'autre surface du dièdre, ces surfaces, respectivement 9a et 9b, sont concaves.According to the invention, opposite the area contacting roller 6 is located a switching device 7 which comprises a guide piece 8 extending over the entire length of the outlet and which has a guide face 9, turned towards the rollers, in the form of a dihedral whose vertex 10 is pointed towards the rollers. To facilitate the sliding of the sheets of paper on either surface of the dihedral, these surfaces, respectively 9 a and 9 b , are concave.

La pièce de guidage 8 est munie, à ses extrémi­tés, de bras de suspension 11 tournés vers le bas (sur la figure) et articulés en rotation en 12 sur le bâti du dispositif, de manière que, sous l'action de moyens de commande (non représentés) manuels ou à actionnement à distance, la pièce de guidage puisse passer, par pivo­tement, d'une première position à une seconde position (la trajectoire de l'équipage mobile étant limitée par des butées appropriées non représentées).The guide piece 8 is provided, at its ends, with suspension arms 11 turned downwards (in the figure) and articulated in rotation at 12 on the frame of the device, so that, under the action of control means (not shown) manual or remote actuated, the guide piece can pass, by pivoting, from a first position to a second position (the trajectory of the moving element being limited by suitable stops not shown).

Dans la première position représentées à la fig. 1, le sommet 10 du dièdre est situé relativement à gauche de la ligne de contact des rouleaux 6, et la feuille de papier, venant frapper la surface concave 9b, est déviée vers la droite (flèche 3b) -donc vers l'avant de la machine- avec la face imprimée tournée vers le bas. Les feuilles imprimées 13 sont récupérées dans un bac avant 14, situé juste devant l'opérateur, et elles s'y empilent dans l'ordre de la pagination.In the first position shown in fig. 1, the apex 10 of the dihedral is located relatively to the left of the line of contact of the rollers 6, and the sheet of paper, coming to strike the concave surface 9 b , is deflected to the right (arrow 3 b ) - so towards front of the machine - with the printed side facing down. The printed sheets 13 are collected in a front tray 14, located just in front of the operator, and they are stacked there in the order of pagination.

Dans la seconde position représentée à la fig. 2, le sommet 10 du dièdre est situé relativement à droite de la ligne de contact des rouleaux 6, et la feuille de papier, venant frapper la surface concave 9b, est déviée vers la gauche (flèche 3b) -donc vers l'arrière de la machine- avec sa face imprimée tournée vers le haut. Les feuilles imprimées 15 sont reçues dans un bac arrière 16 et elles s'y empilent dans l'ordre in­verse de la pagination.In the second position shown in FIG. 2, the apex 10 of the dihedral is situated relatively to the right of the line of contact of the rollers 6, and the sheet of paper, coming to strike the concave surface 9 b , is deflected to the left (arrow 3 b ) - therefore towards the rear of the machine - with its printed side facing up. The printed sheets 15 are received in a rear tray 16 and they are stacked there in the reverse order of pagination.

Comme il va de soi et comme il résulte d'ail­leurs déjà de ce qui précède, l'invention ne se limite nullement à ceux de ses modes d'application et de réalisation qui ont été plus spécialement envisagés ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes.As goes without saying and as it already follows from the foregoing, the invention is in no way limited to those of its modes of application and embodiments which have been more especially envisaged; on the contrary, it embraces all its variants.
