Abstract

Um unterschiedliche Druckexemplare (A1, A2) gemeinsam, d. h. in einem Vorgang, als Beilage beispielsweise in eine Zeitung einlegen zu können, werden die unterschiedlichen Druckexemplare zunächst in verschiedenen Falzgruppen (8, 9, 10; 18, 19, 20) mit dem zweiten Falz (jeweils erster Querfalz) erzeugt, wonach über Bandleitungen (24, 25) Exemplare der einen Art zum Zylinder (20) der anderen Falzgruppe geführt und dort vorderkantengenau übereinandergelegt werden. Danach können die Druckexemplare gemeinsam mit einem zweiten Längsfalz versehen werden. Vorzugsweise werden die Druckexemplare unterschiedlicher Art durch eine Längsschneidvorrichtung am Falztrichter (4) separiert und als Teilbahnen (1a, 1b) den beiden parallel arbeitenden Falzgruppen für den zweiten Falz (erster Querfalz) zugeleitet. Bei einer anderen Betriebsweise erfolgt die Aufsplittung der einzelnen Druckexemplare in der Weise, daß sie zwei dritten Falzvorrichtungen (14, 23) zugeführt werden können, so daß eine Doppelauslage möglich ist. Schließlich ist eine Doppelauslage bei nichtgeschnittener Druckträgerbahn möglich, wobei nach der Erzeugung des zweiten Falzes (erster Querfalz) abwechselnd die Druckexemplare den beiden dritten Falzvorrichtungen zugeführt werden.To collect different print copies (A1, A2) together, i.e. H. In one process, for example, to be able to insert it into a newspaper as an insert, the different printed copies are first created in different fold groups (8, 9, 10; 18, 19, 20) with the second fold (first transverse fold in each case). 24, 25) copies of one type are guided to the cylinder (20) of the other folding group and are superimposed there precisely on the leading edges. Then the printed copies can be provided with a second longitudinal fold. The printed copies of different types are preferably separated by a longitudinal cutting device on the former (4) and fed as partial webs (1a, 1b) to the two parallel folding groups for the second fold (first transverse fold). In another mode of operation, the individual printed copies are split up in such a way that they can be fed to two third folding devices (14, 23), so that double delivery is possible. Finally, a double delivery is possible with the print carrier web not cut, whereby after the generation of the second fold (first transverse fold) the printed copies are alternately fed to the two third folding devices.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Falzapparat mit einer Falzgruppe für den zweiten Falz (erster Querfalz) und mindestens einer Falzgruppe für den dritten Falz und Transportvorrichtungen zum Zuführen der von einer Druckträgerbahn zugeschnittenen Druckexemplare.The invention relates to a folder with a fold group for the second fold (first transverse fold) and at least one fold group for the third fold and transport devices for feeding the printed copies cut from a print carrier web.

Häufig ist es erwünscht, bereits quergefalzte Produkte unterschiedlicher Art, beispielsweise für Damen- und Herrenmode, lose ineinanderliegend gemeinsam einer Zeitung als Beilage beizufügen. Bisher mußten in diesem Fall die unterschiedlichen Exemplare in zwei verschiedenen Falzgruppen erzeugt und durch Nachverarbeitung ineinandergelegt und in die Zeitung eingefügt werden. Dieser erfordert naturgemäß hohen maschinellen und zeitlichen Aufwand.It is often desirable to enclose different types of cross-folded products, for example for women's and men's fashion, loosely one inside the other as a supplement to a newspaper. Previously, in this case, the different copies had to be created in two different fold groups and put together in postprocessing and inserted into the newspaper. This naturally requires a high level of machine and time.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, Druckexemplare unterschiedlicher Art, die vorzugsweise bereits mindestens einmal quergefalzt sind so weiterzubehandeln, daß als Endprodukt wahlweise die beiden Druckexemplare ineinandergefalzt zur Verfügung stehen, so daß diese in einem Einlegevorgang einer Zeitzschrift oder einem anderen Druckprodukt beigefügt werden können, die kompakt baut und die ohne wesentliche Umrüstzeit auf Normalproduktion umstellbar ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der Merkmale des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen sowie aus der Beschreibung in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung. Diese zeigt in Fig. 1 schematisch den erfindungsgemäßen Falzapparat und in den Fig. 2 bis 4 Falzprodukte.The object of the invention is to further process printed copies of different types, which are preferably already folded at least once, in such a way that the two printed copies are optionally available folded into one another so that they can be added to a magazine or other printed product in a loading process in a compact manner builds and which can be converted to normal production without a significant changeover time. This object is achieved by applying the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Further developments result from the subclaims and from the description in connection with the drawing. 1 schematically shows the folder according to the invention and in FIGS. 2 to 4 fold products.

Der dargestellte Falzapparat umfaßt eine Falzgruppe 1, dem bei einer Betriebsart eine nicht längsgeschnittene Druckträgerbahn 3 und bei zwei weiteren Betriebsarten eine durch die angedeutete Längsschneidvorrichtung erzeugte Teilbahn 1a über ein Trichtereinlaufwalzenpaar 4, ein Zugwalzenpaar 5, ein Querperforationszylinderpaar 6 und ein weiteres Zugwalzenpaar 7 zuführbar ist. Die Teilbahn 1a bzw. die nicht längsgeschnittene Druckträgerbahn 3 wird mittels eines Schneidmesserzylinders 9, einem Falzmesserzylinder 8 mit der gewünschten Druckexemplarlänge zugeführt. An dem Falzmesserzylinder 8 werden die Druckexemplare A1 an der Vorderkante aufgenadelt, wofür entsprechende Punkturen 8ʹ vorgesehen sind und mit Hilfe von Falzmessern 8ʹʹ in entsprechende Falzklappen 10ʹ des benachbarten Falzklappenzylinders 10 gestoßen. Schneidmesserzylinder 9, Falzmesserzylinder 8 und Falzklappenzylinder 10 stellen somit die erste Falzgruppe 1 dar, mit der der sogenannte zweite Falz, das ist der erste Querfalz erzeugt wird. Hinter dem Falzklappenzylinder 10 werden die zumindest einmal quergefalzten Druckexemplare A1 in eine Bandleitung 12, 13 übergeben. Bei einer Betriebsweise gelangen die quergefalzten Druckexemplare in Geradeausführung zu einem dritten Falz 14, dem sogenannten zweiten Längsfalz, der bekanntlich aus einem Falzwalzenpaar und einem darüber angeordneten zwischen dieses einstoßbaren Falzmesser besteht. Es versteht sich, daß ggf. auch anstelle des Längsfalzes der dritte Falz als Querfalz ausgebildet sein kann.The folding apparatus shown comprises a folding group 1 which, in one operating mode, has a print carrier web 3 which is not cut longitudinally and in two further operating modes a partial web 1a produced by the indicated longitudinal cutting device Funnel inlet roller pair 4, a pair of pull rollers 5, a pair of transverse perforation cylinders 6 and a further pair of pull rollers 7 can be fed. The partial web 1a or the non-longitudinally cut print carrier web 3 is fed by means of a cutting knife cylinder 9, a folding knife cylinder 8 with the desired print copy length. The printed copies A1 are needled onto the folding knife cylinder 8 at the front edge, for which purpose punctures 8ʹ are provided and are pushed into corresponding folding jaws 10ʹ of the adjacent folding jaw cylinder 10 with the aid of folding knives 8ʹʹ. Cutting knife cylinder 9, folding knife cylinder 8 and folding jaw cylinder 10 thus represent the first folding group 1 with which the so-called second fold, that is the first transverse fold, is produced. Behind the folding jaw cylinder 10, the at least once cross-folded printed copies A1 are transferred to a ribbon line 12, 13. In one mode of operation, the cross-folded printed copies arrive in a straight version at a third fold 14, the so-called second longitudinal fold, which is known to consist of a pair of folding rollers and a folding knife arranged between them and which can be pushed in between them. It goes without saying that the third fold may also be designed as a transverse fold instead of the longitudinal fold.

Durch den an den Falzklappenzylinder 10 angestellten Falzmesserzylinder 11 mit Greifern 11ʹ kann an den Druckexemplaren A1 auch ein zweiter Querfalz in der ersten Falzgruppe 1 erzeugt werden, falls dies gewünscht ist. Erfindungsgemäß wird eine weitere Betriebsart über den Falzmesserzylinder 11 ermöglicht, bei der die gefalzten Druckexemplare A1 von dem Falzklappenzylinder 10 abgehoben und in eine Bandleitung 24, 25 geführt werden. Anschließend gelangen sie zu der zweiten Falzgruppe 15, die in etwa identisch aufgebaut sein kann, wie die erste Falzgruppe 1 und in der bei einer Betriebsweise die Teilbahn 1b geschnitten und quergefalzt werden kann. Der zweiten Falzgruppe 15 wird die Teilbahn 1b über Leit- ­und Regulierwalzen 16, ein Zugwalzenpaar 17 zugeführt. Diese umfaßt einen Schneidmesserzylinder 18, einen Falzmesserzylinder 19 mit Punkturen 19ʹ und Falzmesser 19ʹʹ sowie einem Falzklappenzylinder 20 mit Falzklappen 20ʹ. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Aufbau ergibt sich somit in vorteilhafter Weise die Möglichkeit, die quergefalzten Falzprodukte A1 über die Bandleitungen 24, 25, die über Umlenkwalze 26 geführt werden, bei einer Betriebsart dem Falzklappenzylinder 20 zuzuführen, in dessen Falzklappen 20ʹ die von der Teilbahn 1b erzeugten quergefalzten Druckexemplare A2 geführt werden. Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt das Zusammenführen der Druckexemplare A1 und A2 vorderkantengenau am Falzklappenzylinder 20. Anschließend werden die zusammengeführten Druckexemplare A1, A2 teilweise um den Falzklappenzylinder 20 geführt und gelangen dann beide über die Bandleitung 21, 22 zu dem oberen Längsfalz 23, der die Druckexemplare A1, A2 gemäß Fig. 2 ineinanderfalzt. Somit können auf einfache Weise Druckexemplare A1, A2 unterschiedlicher Art, die gemäß Fig. 2 ineinanderliegen hergestellt werden, die gemeinsam einem Produkt, beispielsweise einer Zeitung beigelegt werden können.Due to the folding knife cylinder 11 with grippers 11ʹ placed on the folding jaw cylinder 10, a second transverse fold can also be produced in the first folding group 1 on the printed copies A1, if this is desired. According to the invention, a further operating mode is made possible via the folding knife cylinder 11, in which the folded printed copies A1 are lifted off the folding jaw cylinder 10 and guided into a ribbon line 24, 25. They then arrive at the second folding group 15, which can be constructed approximately identically to the first folding group 1 and in which the partial web 1b can be cut and folded in one mode of operation. The partial web 1b is fed to the second folding group 15 via guide and regulating rollers 16, a pair of pull rollers 17. This comprises a cutting knife cylinder 18, a folding knife cylinder 19th with punctures 19ʹ and folding knife 19ʹʹ and a jaw cylinder 20 with jaws 20ʹ. With the construction according to the invention, there is thus advantageously the possibility of supplying the cross-folded folding products A1 via the ribbon lines 24, 25, which are guided over the deflection roller 26, to the folding jaw cylinder 20 in one operating mode, in whose folding jaws 20ʹ the cross-folds produced by the partial web 1b are fed Print copies A2 are kept. According to the invention, the printing copies A1 and A2 are brought together on the leading edge of the folding jaw cylinder 20. The combined printing copies A1, A2 are then partially guided around the folding jaw cylinder 20 and then both reach the upper longitudinal fold 23 via the ribbon line 21, 22, which holds the print copies A1, A2 2 folds into each other. Thus, printed copies A1, A2 of different types, which lie inside one another according to FIG. 2, can be produced in a simple manner, which can be enclosed together with a product, for example a newspaper.

Bei einer anderen Betriebsweise werden die Teilbahnen 1a und 1b separat in den Falzgruppen 1, 15 zugeschnitten und quergefalzt und jeweils in den zugehörigen Längsfalz 14, 23 zu dem Produkt gemäß Fig. 3 verarbeitet.In another mode of operation, the partial webs 1a and 1b are cut and folded separately in the folding groups 1, 15 and each processed in the associated longitudinal fold 14, 23 into the product according to FIG. 3.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist es auch möglich, die in der Zeichnung gemäß Fig. 1 angedeutete Längsschneidvorrichtung außer Betrieb zu setzen und die ungeschnitte Bahn lediglich der unteren Falzgruppe 1 zuzuführen. Von dieser aus können abwechselnd die quergefalzten nicht längsgeschnittenen Druckexemplare entweder über den Greifer- und Falzmesserzylinder 11, die Bandleitung 24, 25, den Falzklappenzylinder 20, die Bandleitungen 21, 22 dem oberen Längsfalz 23 oder von dem Falzklappenzylinder 10, über die Bandleitungen 12, 13 dem unteren Längsfalz 14 zugeführt werden. Es lassen sich so Produkte gemäß Fig. 4 herstellen. Durch diese Aufsplittung kann die Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit des Falzapparates wesentlich erhöht werden. Bei dieser Betriebsweise wird auch der Falzklappenzylinder 20 der oberen Falzgruppe 15 teilweise in den Transportweg integriert.In an advantageous manner, it is also possible to put the slitting device indicated in the drawing according to FIG. 1 out of operation and to feed the uncut web only to the lower folding group 1. From this, the cross-folded, non-longitudinally cut printed copies can alternately either via the gripper and folding knife cylinder 11, the ribbon line 24, 25, the folding jaw cylinder 20, the ribbon lines 21, 22, the upper longitudinal fold 23 or from the folding jaw cylinder 10, via the ribbon lines 12, 13 the lower longitudinal fold 14 are fed. Products according to FIG. 4 can thus be produced. This splitting can significantly increase the speed of the folder. In this mode of operation, the The folding jaw cylinder 20 of the upper folding group 15 is partially integrated into the transport path.

Der erfindungsgemäße Falzapparat baut kompakt. Es sind nur geringe Umrüstzeiten zwischen den drei möglichen Produktionsarten zur Erzeugung der Falzprodukte gemäß den Fig. 2 bis 4 erforderlich. Das Zusammenführen der Druckexemplare A1, A2 ist mit großer Genauigkeit an dem Falzklappenzylinder 20 möglich, wobei ggf. dieser in Umfangsrichtung zum vorderkantengenauen Übereinanderlegen verdreht werden kann. Bei diesem Vorgang wird das Druckexemplar A2 noch in den Falzklappen 20ʹ gehalten. Gegebenenfalls kann auch anstelle der unteren Leitungen 25 bzw. 22 eine durchgehende Leitung von dem Greifer- und Falzmesserzylinder 11 bis zum oberen Längsfalz 23 verwendet werden, die dann teilweise um den Falzklappenzylinder 20 geführt werden muß.The folder of the invention is compact. Only short changeover times between the three possible production types for producing the folded products according to FIGS. 2 to 4 are required. The merging of the printed copies A1, A2 is possible with great accuracy on the folding jaw cylinder 20, it being possible for this to be rotated in the circumferential direction in order to be superimposed on the leading edges. During this process, the printed copy A2 is still held in the jaws 20ʹ. If necessary, a continuous line from the gripper and folding knife cylinder 11 to the upper longitudinal fold 23 can also be used instead of the lower lines 25 and 22, which line then has to be partially guided around the folding jaw cylinder 20.
