Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Speichern von in Schuppenformation anfallenden Druckprodukten gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a device for storing printed products resulting in scale formation according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer bekannten Vorrichtung dieser Art werden die Druckprodukte in einer liegenden Schuppenformation einer drehend angetriebenen Abstützscheibe zugeführt und auf dieser in liegender Lage zu einem wendelförmigen Stapel aufeinandergelegt (DE-PS 25 18 374, bzw. die dieser inhaltlich entsprechende US-PS 4.274.623). Mit dieser Vorrichtung lassen sich nun stabile Stapel beträchtlicher Höhe bilden, die dazu bestimmt sind, nach einer allfälligen Zwischenlagerung an einem anderen Ort wieder abgebaut zu werden. Aus Gewichtsgründen lässt sich weder die Höhe noch der Durchmesser dieser Stapel beliebig vergrössern, um auf diese Weise die Speicherkapazität entsprechend zu erhöhen. Für das Abbauen solcher Stapel ist eine gesonderte Vorrichtung nötig, die sich von der Vorrichtung zum Bilden des Stapels konstruktiv unterscheidet. Dieses Abbauen der Stapel muss von unten oder gegebenenfalls auch von oben her erfolgen. Ein direkter Zugriff zu Druckprodukten im Innern des Stapels ist nicht möglich, wird jedoch auch nicht angestrebt, da ein solcher Stapel in der Regel nur gleichartige Druckprodukte enthält und sich somit eine Entnahme von Druckprodukten aus dem Stapelinnern erübrigt.In a known device of this type, the printed products are fed in a lying scale formation to a rotatably driven support disk and placed on top of one another in a lying position to form a helical stack (DE-PS 25 18 374, or the corresponding US Pat. No. 4,274,623). . With this device, stable stacks of considerable height can now be formed, which are intended to be dismantled again at a different location after any intermediate storage. For weight reasons, neither the height nor the diameter of these stacks can be increased arbitrarily in order to increase the storage capacity accordingly. For the dismantling of such stacks, a separate device is necessary, which differs in construction from the device for forming the stack. This stack must be dismantled from below or, if necessary, also from above. Direct access to printed products in the interior of the stack is not possible, but is also not sought, since such a stack generally only contains printed products of the same type and thus eliminates the need to remove printed products from the inside of the stack.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die es bei möglichst einfacher Konstruktion erlaubt, eine grössere Menge von Druckprodukten zu speichern, als dies beim Stand der Technik möglich ist und die einen freieren Zugriff zu den gespeicherten Druckprodukten ermöglicht als die vorbekannte Vorrichtung.The present invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned that it with the simplest possible construction allows a larger amount of printed products to be stored than is possible in the prior art and which allows free access to the stored printed products than the previously known device.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruches 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Das Anordnen von Wickeleinheiten übereinander zu einem turmartigen Gebilde ermöglicht die Speicherung einer sehr grossen Anzahl von Druckprodukten bei optimaler Ausnützung des beanspruchten Platzes. Dies zum einen deswegen, weil sich dank des Aufwickelns der Druckprodukte in hochstehender Lage und Abstützung der Druckprodukte auf dem Stützorgan Wickel sehr grossen Durchmessers mit entsprechend grosser Speicherkapazität herstellen lassen, und zum andern sich der Abstand zwischen benachbarten Wickeleinheiten im wesentlichen nur nach der Höhe der Druckprodukte richten muss. Auch bei Verwendung von Wickelkernen verhältnismässig grossen Durchmessers, welche den Vorteil einer weniger starken Krümmung der Druckprodukte der innersten Windungen des Wickels hat, muss keine ins Gewicht fallende Verminderung der Speicherkapazität in Kauf genommen werden, da ja aus den bereits erwähnten Gründen Wickel mit grossem Druchmesser gebildet werden können.The arrangement of winding units one above the other to form a tower-like structure enables the storage of a very large number of printed products with optimal use of the space required. This is partly because, thanks to the winding of the printed products in an upright position and supporting the printed products on the supporting member, very large diameter coils with a correspondingly large storage capacity can be produced, and secondly the distance between adjacent winding units essentially only depends on the height of the printed products must judge. Even when using winding cores of relatively large diameter, which has the advantage of a less pronounced curvature of the printed products of the innermost turns of the winding, no significant reduction in the storage capacity has to be accepted, since, for the reasons already mentioned, windings with a large diameter are formed can be.

Da die einzelnen Wickeleinheiten einzeln angetrieben und und einzeln mit Druckprodukten beschickt werden können, ist es möglich, in den verschiedenen Wickeleinheiten Druckprodukte unterschiedlicher Art zu speichern, wobei der freie Zugriff zu den in den verschiedenen Wickeleinheiten gespeicherten Druckprodukten nach Wahl jederzeit möglich ist.Since the individual winding units can be individually driven and individually loaded with printed products, it is possible to store different types of printed products in the different winding units, with free access to the printed products stored in the different winding units at any time is possible.

Da sich die hochkant auf die Wickelkerne aufgewickelten Druckprodukte auf dem zugeordneten Abstützorgan abstützen, genügt es, zur Verhinderung des Auseinanderfallens der Wickel die Druckprodukte der jeweils äussersten Windung auf ihrer Aussenseite abzustützen. Hiefür kann z.B. ein mit dem Wickelkern verbundenes, langgestrecktes, flexibles Stützelement, z.B. ein Stützband verwendet werden, das mit der Schuppenformation aufgewickelt wird und nur unter einer sehr geringen Zugspannung zu stehen braucht.Since the printed products that are wound upright on the winding cores are supported on the associated support member, it is sufficient to support the printed products of the outermost turn on their outside to prevent the windings from falling apart. For this, e.g. an elongated, flexible support element connected to the winding core, e.g. a support tape can be used, which is wound up with the scale formation and only needs to be under a very low tension.

Das Entnehmen der Druckprodukte aus den einzelnen Wickeleinheiten kann im wesentlichen mit Hilfe der Zuführungsanordnung erfolgen, welche hiezu in Gegenrichtung angetrieben wird. Zum einwandfreien Zuleiten der sich vom Wickelkern, bzw. vom sich auf diesem gebildeten Wickel ablösenden Druckprodukte zur Wegführanordnung ist es von Vorteil, beim vorgängigen Aufwickeln der Schuppenformation mit dieser ein Trennelement, z.B. ein Trennband aufzuwickeln, das auf der dem Wickelkern zugekehrten Seite der Schuppenformation verläuft. Die zwischen Stütz- und Trennelement angeordnete Schuppenformation wird beim Abwickeln durch diese beiden Elemente geführt.The removal of the printed products from the individual winding units can essentially take place with the aid of the feed arrangement which is driven in the opposite direction for this purpose. For the problem-free feeding of the printed products detaching from the winding core, or from the winding formed on this, to the removal arrangement, it is advantageous to use a separating element, e.g. wind up a separating tape that runs on the side of the scale formation facing the winding core. The scale formation arranged between the support and separating element is guided through these two elements during unwinding.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist eine allen Wickeleinheiten gemeinsame Zuführanordnung vorgesehen, die einen in der Höhe und in Richtung quer zur Drehachse der Wickeleinheiten verstellbaren Endteil aufweist, welcher zum Heranführen der Schuppenformation an die Wickelkerne, bzw. an die sich auf diesen gebildeten Wickel dient. Diese Zuführanordnung wird dabei zweckmässigerweise wie in den Ansprüchen 6 und 7 umschrieben ausgebildet. Dabei ist es von Vorteil, die Zuführanordnung mit einer Verdreheinrichtung zum Drehen der liegenden Schuppenformation um deren Längsachse um 90o zu versehen. Diese Verdreheinrichtung wird dabei zweckmässigerweise dem Endteil der Zuführanordnung vorgelagert.In a preferred embodiment, a feed arrangement is provided which is common to all winding units and which has an end part which is adjustable in height and in the direction transverse to the axis of rotation of the winding units and which is used to bring the scale formation to the winding cores or to the windings formed thereon serves. This feed arrangement is expediently designed as described in claims 6 and 7. It is of advantage to provide the delivery assembly with a rotating means for rotating the imbricated formation lying about its longitudinal axis through 90 o. This rotating device is expediently upstream of the end part of the feed arrangement.

Bei einer konstruktiv besonders einfachen Lösung wird ein Antrieb für alle Wickeleinheiten vorgesehen, der mit dem Endteil der Zuführanordnung in der Höhe verstellbar ist und wahlweise mit den einzelnen Wickeleinheiten kuppelbar ist.In a structurally particularly simple solution, a drive is provided for all winding units, the height of which can be adjusted with the end part of the feed arrangement and can optionally be coupled to the individual winding units.

Der Förderer 10 weist zwei vertikale, d.h. parallel zur Drehachse 2a der Wickeleinheiten 5, verlaufende Abschnitte 15 und 16 auf. Der Abschnitt 15 ist mit einem horizontal verlaufenden Einlaufabschnitt 17 versehen, während der andere Abschnitt 16 einen ebenfalls horizontal verlaufenden Auslaufabschnitt 18 aufweist, der in der Höhe, d.h. in Richtung des Pfeiles B (Fig. 1) verstellbar ist, wie das in der bereits erwähnten DE-PS 26 44 906 näher beschrieben ist. In Fig. 1 ist mit 18' der sich in seiner obersten Position befindliche Auslaufabschnitt bezeichnet. Der Einlaufabschnitt 17 kann ebenfalls in der Höhe verstellbar ausgebildet sein. Mit 17' ist eine andere Lage dieses Einlaufabschnittes bezeichnet. Angetrieben wird der Förderer 10 durch einen nur schematisch dargestellten Antrieb 19, der mit dem Umlenkrad 11 antriebsverbunden ist.To the side of the winding units 5 there is a feed arrangement 9 common to all the winding units 5, which has a conveyor 10 which, in terms of construction, corresponds to the conveyor shown in DE-PS 26 44 906, or the latter corresponding to the content of US-PS 4,062,537. With regard to the structure and mode of operation of the conveyor 10, reference is therefore made to these patents. The conveyor 10 has two endless ones indicated only schematically in FIG. 1 and guided over deflection wheels 11 and 12 Chains 13 or the like, to which grippers (not shown in FIG. 1) are fastened, which grasp the printed products 14 fed in scale formation S in the direction of the arrow Z (FIG. 1) and take them along in the conveying direction A of the conveyor 10. The conveyor 10 has two vertical sections 15 and 16, ie sections 15 and 16 running parallel to the axis of rotation 2a of the winding units 5. The section 15 is provided with a horizontally running inlet section 17, while the other section 16 also has a horizontally running outlet section 18, which is adjustable in height, ie in the direction of the arrow B (FIG. 1), as in the one already mentioned DE-PS 26 44 906 is described in more detail. In Fig. 1, 18 'is the outlet section located in its uppermost position. The inlet section 17 can also be designed to be adjustable in height. Another position of this inlet section is designated by 17 '. The conveyor 10 is driven by a drive 19, only shown schematically, which is drive-connected to the deflection wheel 11.

Dem Förderer 10 ist eine an dessen Auslaufabschnitt 18 anschliessende Verdreheinrichtung 20 nachgeschaltet, die in den Figuren nur rein schematisch dargestellt ist. Diese Verdreheinrichtung 20 dient dazu, die liegend zugeführten Druckprodukte 14 hochzustellen, d.h. die Schuppenformation S um 90o um ihre Längsachse zu drehen. Im Zuge dieses Hochstellens der Druckprodukte 14 kommt deren in der zugeführten Schuppenformation S oben liegende Seite 14b gegen einen Wickelkern 7 zu liegen. Die Verdreheinrichtung 20 kann beispielsweise durch zwei sich gegenüberliegende Bandförderer gebildet werden, die die Schuppenformation zwischen sich aufnehmen und derart über Umlenkrollen geführt sind, dass sie die Schuppenformation S wie erwähnt verdrehen. Daneben ist es auch denkbar, die durch den Förderer 10 zugeführte Schuppenformation S an ihren Seitenkanten mittels Greifern zu erfassen, die an einer Kette oder dergleichen befestigt sind, welche derart geführt ist, dass die erfasste Schuppenformation um 90o gedreht wird.The conveyor 10 is followed by a rotating device 20, which adjoins its outlet section 18 and is only shown schematically in the figures. This turning device 20 serves to detect the high-lying supplied printed products 14, the imbricated formation S ie by 90 o about its longitudinal axis to rotate. In the course of this raising of the printed products 14, their side 14b, which is at the top in the supplied scale formation S, comes to rest against a winding core 7. The rotating device 20 can be formed, for example, by two belt conveyors lying opposite one another, which take up the scale formation between them and thus over Deflection rollers are guided that they twist the scale formation S as mentioned. In addition, it is also conceivable to grasp the scale formation S fed by the conveyor 10 on its side edges by means of grippers which are fastened to a chain or the like which is guided in such a way that the detected scale formation is rotated by 90 ° .

Wie aus den Fig. 2-4 hervorgeht, schliesst an die Verdreheinrichtung 20 eine Wippe 21 an, welche aus zwei Förderbändern 22 und 23 besteht, die zwischen sich einen Förderspalt 24 für die wie beschrieben vorgängig hochgestellten Druckprodukte 14 bilden. Die beiden Förderbänder 22 und 23 werden auf nicht näher dargestellte Art in Richtung des Pfeiles D, bzw. E umlaufend angetrieben. Die Förderbänder 22, 23 sind über Umlenkrollen 25, bzw. 26 geführt und um die Achsen 25', bzw. 26' zweier Umlenkrollen in Richtung des Pfeiles C (Fig. 2) schwenkbar. Sowohl die Verdreheinrichtung 20 wie auch die Wippe 21 sind mit dem Auslaufabschnitt 18 des Förderers 10 in der Höhe verstellbar. Dieser Auslaufabschnitt 18, die Verdreheinrichtung 20 und die Wippe 21, bzw. die die Schwenkachsen 25', 26' festlegenden Umlenkrollen 25, 26 der Förderbänder 22, 23 sind zu diesem Zweck an einer heb- und senkbaren Abstützung 27 (Fig. 2 und 3) befestigt. Letztere ist mittels an zwei Tragsäulen 3 befestigten Führungen 28, 29 in vertikaler Richtung geführt. An den erwähnten Tragsäulen 3 sind Zahnstangen 30 und 31 befestigt (Fig. 3), mit denen je ein Ritzel 32, 33 kämmt. Die beiden Ritzel 32, 33 werden von einem Antrieb 34, der an der Abstützung 27 befestigt ist, angetrieben. Dieser Antrieb 34 ist vorzugsweise ein Getriebebremsmotor.As can be seen from FIGS. 2-4, a rocker 21 adjoins the rotating device 20, which consists of two conveyor belts 22 and 23, which form a conveyor gap 24 between them for the previously raised printed products 14. The two conveyor belts 22 and 23 are driven in a manner not shown in the direction of arrow D or E revolving. The conveyor belts 22, 23 are guided over deflecting rollers 25 or 26 and can be pivoted about the axes 25 'or 26' of two deflecting rollers in the direction of arrow C (FIG. 2). Both the twisting device 20 and the rocker 21 are adjustable in height with the outlet section 18 of the conveyor 10. For this purpose, this outlet section 18, the rotating device 20 and the rocker 21, or the deflection rollers 25, 26 of the conveyor belts 22, 23 which fix the pivot axes 25 ', 26', are attached to a support 27 which can be raised and lowered (FIGS. 2 and 3 ) attached. The latter is guided in the vertical direction by means of guides 28, 29 fastened to two support columns 3. To the support columns 3 mentioned racks 30 and 31 are fixed (Fig. 3) with which a pinion 32, 33 meshes. The two pinions 32, 33 are driven by a drive 34, which is fastened to the support 27. This drive 34 is preferably a transmission brake motor.

An der Abstützung 27 ist weiter ein Antriebsmotor 2 angebracht, der ein Ritzel 36 antreibt, das schwenkbar mit der Abstützung 27 verbunden ist (Fig. 2). Dieses Ritzel 36 kann jeweils mit einer Verzahnung 37 am Umfang einer Abstützscheibe 6 in Angriff gebracht werden. Mittels dieses Antriebes 35 und des in eine Verzahnung 37 eingreifenden Ritzels 36 kann die entsprechende Wickeleinheit 5 in Aufwickelrichtung F (Fig. 2 und 4) in Drehung versetzt werden.A drive motor 2 is also attached to the support 27 and drives a pinion 36 which is pivotally connected to the support 27 (FIG. 2). This pinion 36 can be brought into engagement with a toothing 37 on the circumference of a support disk 6. By means of this drive 35 and the pinion 36 engaging in a toothing 37, the corresponding winding unit 5 can be set in rotation in the winding direction F (FIGS. 2 and 4).

Jeder Wickeleinheit 5 ist ein Vorratsspule 38 für ein flexibles Stützband 39 zugeordnet, welches mit dem Wickelkern 7 verbunden ist. Dieses Stützband 39 ist über eine am Auslauf des aussen liegenden Förderbandes 22 angeordnete Umlenkrolle 40 (Fig. 4) geführt, die von diesem Förderband 22 getrennt an einem in der Fig. 4 nicht darestellten Schwenkarm gelagert ist. Das Stützband 39 legt sich an die aussen liegende Seite S' der Schuppenformation S an und wird mit dieser aufgewickelt. Dabei dreht sich die Vorratsspule 38 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn und wird dabei mittels eines Bremsantriebes 41 leicht gebremst.Each winding unit 5 is assigned a supply spool 38 for a flexible support band 39, which is connected to the winding core 7. This support belt 39 is guided over a deflection roller 40 (FIG. 4) which is arranged at the outlet of the outside conveyor belt 22 and is mounted separately from this conveyor belt 22 on a swivel arm which is not shown in FIG. 4. The support band 39 lies against the outside side S 'of the scale formation S and is wound up with it. The supply spool 38 rotates counterclockwise and is slightly braked by means of a brake drive 41.

Jeder Wickeleinheit 5 ist weiter eine Vorratsspule 42 für ein flexibles Trennband 43 zugeordnet, welches ebenfalls mit dem Wickelkern 7 verbunden ist und über eine Führungsrolle 44 (Fig. 4) am Auslauf des innen liegenden Förderbandes 23 läuft. Das Trennband 43 verläuft auf der innen liegenden Seite S'' der Schuppenformation und wird ebenfalls mit dieser aufgewickelt. Die sich im Uhrzeigersinn drehende Vorratsspule 42 wird dabei mittels eines Bremsantriebes 45 leicht gebremst.Each winding unit 5 is also assigned a supply spool 42 for a flexible separating belt 43, which is also connected to the winding core 7 and runs via a guide roller 44 (FIG. 4) at the outlet of the inside conveyor belt 23. The separating tape 43 runs on the inner side S ″ of the scale formation and is also wound up with it. The clockwise rotating supply spool 42 is slightly braked by means of a brake drive 45.

Das Beschicken der Speichervorrichtung 1 geht wie folgt vor sich:
   Die Abstützung 27 wird zusammen mit den mit ihr verbundenen Bauteilen 18, 20, 21, 35, 36 durch Ingangsetzen des Antriebsmotors 35 in Richtung des Pfeils B auf die Höhe der zu beschickenden Wickeleinheit 5 angehoben oder abgesenkt. Mittels eines, in den Figuren nicht dargestellten Schwenkmechanismus wird die Wippe 21 in Richtung des Pfeils C gegen den Wickelkern 7 verschwenkt. Die auf letzerem aufzuwickelnden, im Einlaufabschnitt 17 vom Förderer 10 übernommenen Druckprodukte 14 werden durch den Förderer 10 der Verdreheinrichtung 20 zugeleitet. In dieser erfolgt ein Hochstellen der Druckprodukte 14, die anschliessend durch die Förderbänder 22, 23 der Wippe 21 an den Wickelkern 7, bzw. an den sich auf diesem bildenden Wickel W geleitet werden. Die den Förderspalt 24 der Wippe 21 verlassenden Druckprodukte 14 gelangen zwischen Stützband 39 und Trennband 43 und werden mit diesen Bändern, welche in Richtung des Pfeiles G, bzw. H von den jeweiligen Vorratsspulen 38, bzw. 42 abgewickelt werden, auf den Wickelkern aufgewickelt. Dabei sind diejenigen Seiten 14b der Druckprodukte 14 dem Wickelkern 7 zugekehrt, welche in der ankommenden Schuppenformation S oben lagen. Die hochkant aufgewickelten Druckprodukte 14 kommen mit der mit 14a bezeichneten Seitenkante auf der Abstützscheibe 6 zur Auflage, welche das Gewicht des Wickels W trägt. Das sich jeweils auf der Aussenseite der äussersten Windung befindliche Stütztband 39 verhindert ein Umkippen der hochgestellten Druckprodukte 14.The storage device 1 is loaded as follows:
The support 27, together with the components 18, 20, 21, 35, 36 connected to it, is raised or lowered by starting the drive motor 35 in the direction of arrow B to the level of the winding unit 5 to be loaded. The rocker 21 is pivoted in the direction of arrow C against the winding core 7 by means of a pivot mechanism, not shown in the figures. The printed products 14 to be wound on the latter and taken over by the conveyor 10 in the inlet section 17 are fed by the conveyor 10 to the twisting device 20. This is where the printed products 14 are raised, which are then passed through the conveyor belts 22, 23 of the rocker 21 to the winding core 7, or to the winding W forming on the latter. The printed products 14 leaving the conveyor gap 24 of the rocker 21 pass between the support belt 39 and the separating belt 43 and are wound onto the winding core with these belts, which are unwound from the respective supply spools 38 and 42 in the direction of arrow G and H, respectively. Those sides 14b of the printed products 14 which face the incoming scale formation S face the winding core 7. The edgewise wound printed products 14 come to rest with the side edge designated 14a on the support disc 6, which bears the weight of the roll W. The support band 39 located on the outside of the outermost turn prevents the printed products 14 from tipping over.

Ist ein Wickel W fertig gebildet, so wird die Zufuhr der Druckprodukte 14 unterbrochen, die Wippe 21 in Richtung des Pfeiles C nach auswärts verschwenkt und die Abstützung 27 zur nächsten zu beschickenden Wickeleinheit 5 angehoben oder abgesenkt. Dann erfolgt auf die beschriebene Weise die Bildung eines neuen Wickels W.Once a roll W has been formed, the supply of the printed products 14 is interrupted, the rocker 21 is pivoted outward in the direction of the arrow C and the support 27 to the next winding unit to be loaded 5 raised or lowered. Then a new roll W is formed in the manner described.

Anhand der Fig. 5 und 6, welche darstellungsmässig den Fig. 1 und 2 entsprechen, wird nun die Entnahme von gespeicherten Druckprodukten erläutert, wobei zu erwähnen ist, dass hiezu die Zuführanordnung 9 verwendet wird, welche in gegenüber dem Zuführen entgegengesetzter Richtung angetrieben wird.5 and 6, which correspond to FIGS. 1 and 2, the removal of stored printed products will now be explained, whereby it should be mentioned that for this purpose the feed arrangement 9 is used, which is driven in the opposite direction to the feed.

Die Abstützung 27 samt dem Abschnitt 18 des Förderers 10, der Verdreheinrichtung 20 und der Wippe 21 wird auf die Höhe der zu entleerenden Wickeleinheit 5 angehoben, bzw. abgesenkt. Dann wird die Wippe 21 nach einwärts verschwenkt und zur Anlage an den Wickel W gebracht. Mittels der Antriebe 41 und 45 werden die Vorratsspulen 38, bzw. 42 im Uhrzeigersinn, bzw. im Gegenuhrzeigersinn um die Achsen 38a, bzw. 42a drehend angetrieben, was zur Folge hat, dass das Stützband 39, bzw. das Trennband 43 auf die entsprechende Vorratsspule 38, bzw. 42 aufgewickelt und dabei in Richtung des Pfeils G' bzw. H' bewegt wird. Durch dieses Aufwickeln der beiden Bänder 39, 43 wird die entsprechende Wickeleinheit 5 in Richtung des Pfeiles F' in Drehung versetzt, ohne dass hiezu ein Antreiben mittels des Antriebes 35 nötig ist. Durch diese Drehung der Wickeleinheit 5 werden die Druckprodukte 14 vom Wickel W abgewickelt und durch das Trennband 34 geführt, in den Förderkanal 24 der Wippe 21 geleitet. Die in Richtung der Pfeile D', bzw. E' umlaufend angetriebenen Förderbänder 22, 23 bringen die Druckprodukte 14 nun zur Verdreheinrichtung 20, die die hochstehenden Druckprodukte 14 wieder in eine liegende Lage bringt und dem Förderer 10 zuführt, der nun in Richtung des Pfeiles A' angetrieben die abgewickelte Schuppenformation S zum horizontalen Bereich 17 bringt, von wo die Druckprodukte 14 in Richtung des Pfeils Z' auf nicht näher dargestellte Weise weggeführt werden. Die den Bereich 17 des Förderers 10 verlassenden Druckprodukte können auch durch die Greifer eines Förderers, dessen Förderrichtung von unten nach oben verläuft erfasst und nach oben weggeführt, d.h. vom nachfolgenden Druckprodukt abgehoben werden.The support 27 together with the section 18 of the conveyor 10, the rotating device 20 and the rocker 21 is raised or lowered to the height of the winding unit 5 to be emptied. Then the rocker 21 is pivoted inwards and brought to bear against the winding W. By means of the drives 41 and 45, the supply spools 38 and 42 are driven in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction about the axes 38a and 42a, which has the consequence that the support band 39 and the separating band 43 respectively Supply spool 38 or 42 is wound up and is moved in the direction of arrow G 'or H'. This winding of the two tapes 39, 43 causes the corresponding winding unit 5 to rotate in the direction of the arrow F 'without the need to drive by means of the drive 35. As a result of this rotation of the winding unit 5, the printed products 14 are unwound from the winding W and passed through the separating belt 34, into the conveying channel 24 of the rocker 21. The conveyor belts 22, 23 driven in the direction of the arrows D 'and E', respectively, bring the printed products 14 to the rotating device 20, which brings the upstanding printed products 14 back into a lying position and feeds them to the conveyor 10, which is now in the direction of the arrow A 'driven the developed scale formation S brings to the horizontal region 17, from where the printed products 14 are led away in the direction of the arrow Z 'in a manner not shown. The printed products leaving the area 17 of the conveyor 10 can also be gripped by the grippers of a conveyor, the conveying direction of which runs from bottom to top and led away upwards, that is to say they can be lifted off the subsequent printed product.

Ist eine Wickeleinheit 5 entleert, so wird die Abstützung 27 auf die Höhe der nächsten zu entleerenden Wickeleinheit 5 bewegt.If a winding unit 5 is emptied, the support 27 is moved to the level of the next winding unit 5 to be emptied.

Durch Verschieben des horizontalen Abschnittes 17 in der Höhe ist es nun möglich, von verschiedenen Zuförderern Durckprodukte zu übernehmen und aufzuwickeln, bzw. an verschiedene Wegförderer abgewickelte Druckprodukte zu übergeben. Dies bedeutet, dass eine Speichervorrichtung 1 von verschiedenen Quellen gespiesen werden kann, bzw. an verschiedene Weiterverarbeitungsstationen Druckprodukte abgeben kann.By moving the horizontal section 17 in height, it is now possible to take over and wind up printed products from different feeders, or to transfer printed products that have been unwound to different away conveyors. This means that a storage device 1 can be fed from different sources or can deliver printed products to different further processing stations.

Das Beschicken, bzw. Entleeren der einzelnen Wickeleinheiten 5 kann in einer beliebigen Reihenfolge erfolgen, da jede Wickeleinheit 5 einzeln und unabhängig von den anderen Wickeleinheiten 5 in Betrieb genommen werden kann.The individual winding units 5 can be loaded or emptied in any order, since each winding unit 5 can be put into operation individually and independently of the other winding units 5.

Der Abstand zwischen den Abstützscheiben 6 benachbarter Wickeleinheiten 5 wird im wesentlichen nur durch die Höhe der aufzuwickelnden Druckprodukte 14 bestimmt. Falls in einer Speichervorrichtung 1 Druckprodukte unterschiedlicher Höhe gespeichert werden sollen, so kann daher der Abstand zwischen den einzelnen Abstützscheiben 5 unterschiedlich sein.The distance between the support disks 6 of adjacent winding units 5 is essentially determined only by the height of the printed products 14 to be wound up. If printed products of different heights are to be stored in a storage device 1, the distance between the individual support disks 5 can therefore be be different.

Es versteht sich, dass die beschriebene Speichervorrichtung 1 in verschiedenen Teilen anders als wie gezeigt und beschrieben ausgebildet werden kann. Von den verschiedenen möglichen Varianten werden im folgenden nur einige kurz erläutert.It is understood that the described memory device 1 can be configured in various parts differently than as shown and described. Only a few of the various possible variants are briefly explained below.

Die Verdrehung der Schuppenformation S um ihre Längsachse um 90o kann auch im Auslaufbereich 18 des Förderers 10 erfolgen, womit eine gesonderte Verdreheinrichtung 20 überflüssig wird. Letzteres trifft auch dann zu, wenn die Druckprodukte 14 bereits in hochstehender Lage an die Speichervorrichtung 1 herangeführt werden.The rotation of the scale formation S about its longitudinal axis by 90 ° can also take place in the outlet area 18 of the conveyor 10, whereby a separate twisting device 20 is unnecessary. The latter also applies if the printed products 14 are already brought up to the storage device 1 in an upright position.

Zum Antreiben der einzelnen Wickeleinheiten 5 kann auch für jede Wickeleinheit 5 ein eigener, ortsfester Antrieb vorgesehen werden, was natürlich gegenüber der gezeigten Ausführungsform mit einem einzigen Antrieb 35, 36 mit einem grösseren konstruktiven Aufwand verbunden ist. Dasselbe trifft auch dann zu, wenn statt einer allen Wickeleinheiten 5 gemeinsamen Zuführanordnung 9 jeder Wickeleinheit 5 eine eigene Zuführung zugeordnet wird. Bei einer Art Zwischenlösung werden zwei oder mehr unabhängig voneinander arbeitende Zuführanordnungen vorgesehen, die dann ein gleichzeitiges Beschicken, bzw. Entleeren von mehreren Wickeleinheiten 5 ermöglichen.To drive the individual winding units 5, a separate, stationary drive can also be provided for each winding unit 5, which, of course, is associated with a greater design effort than the embodiment shown with a single drive 35, 36. The same also applies if, instead of a feed arrangement 9 common to all winding units 5, each winding unit 5 is assigned its own feed. In a kind of interim solution, two or more feed arrangements working independently of one another are provided, which then enable simultaneous loading or emptying of several winding units 5.
