Abstract

A printed web 2 is cut to the desired sheet length between a grooved, gripper and folding blade cylinder 3 and a cutting cylinder 5 placed against the latter. The resulting printed sheets 17 travel over a belt conveyor 9 to a collection cylinder 10 fitted with grippers 11, from which they are transferred to grippers 13 of a stapling cylinder 12. Stapling can take place after the transfer of the printed sheets 17 to the grooved, gripper and folding blade cylinder 3, from which the stapled or unstapled printed sheets are transferred to the folding jaw cylinder 15 for the production of a cross fold.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Falzapparat mit einer Einrichtung zum Heften von Druckexemplaren und mit Zylindern zum Schneiden, Sammeln und Falzen der Druckexemplare, die über eine Bandleitung einem der Zylinder zuführbar sind.The invention relates to a folder with a device for stapling printed copies and with cylinders for cutting, collecting and folding the printed copies, which can be fed to one of the cylinders via a ribbon line.

Ein Falzapparat der vorgenannten Gattung ist aus der EU-PS 00 46 261 bekannt. Dieser weist den Nachteil auf, daß er hoch baut.A folder of the aforementioned type is known from EU-PS 00 46 261. This has the disadvantage that it builds high.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Falzapparat der eingangs definierten Gattung so zu konzipieren, daß er niedrig baut, d.h., daß er in der Höhe keinen großen Raum beansprucht. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus dem Unteranspruch und aus der Beschreibung sowie aus der Zeichnung, die den erfindungsgemäßen Falzapparat schematisch zeigt.The object of the present invention is to design a folder of the type defined at the outset in such a way that it is of low construction, i.e. that it does not take up a large amount of space. This object is achieved by applying the features of claim 1. Further developments of the invention result from the subclaim and from the description and from the drawing, which shows the folder according to the invention schematically.

Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung ist es, daß der Falzapparat als "punkturloser Greiferfalzapparat" aufgebaut werden kann, was besonders günstig ist, wenn nicht akzeptiert wird, daß die Druckexemplare Punktureinstiche aufweisen, die bekanntlich nur durch eine entsprechende Beschneidung und somit durch Inkaufnahme von Papierverlust und zusätzlichem Arbeitsaufwand beseitigt werden können.Another important advantage of the invention is that the folder can be constructed as a "pointless gripper folder", which is particularly advantageous if it is not accepted that the printed copies have puncture punctures, which are known only by appropriate trimming and thus by accepting paper loss and additional work can be eliminated.

Im nachfolgenden wird die Erfindung beispielhaft unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegende Zeichnung beschrieben.The invention is described below by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Dem erfindungsgemäßen Falzapparat 1 wird eine oder mehrere Druckträgerbahnen 2 vorzugsweise senkrecht zugeführt. Die Druckträgerbahn 2 wird zwischen einem Nut-, Greifer- und Falzmesserzylinder 3 und einem an diesen angestellten Schneidzylinder 4 hindurchgeführt und auf die erforderliche Abschnittlänge zugeschnitten, so daß die Druckexemplare 17 entstehen. Der Messerzylinder 4 weist hierfür zwei diametrisch gegenüberliegende Schneidmesser 5 auf, während der Nut-, Greifer- und Falzmesserzylinder 3 in vorteilhafter Weise mit achsparallelen Nuten 6 sowie mit Greifern 7 und Falzmessern 8 ausgestattet ist. Diese Teile sind jeweils 3-fach vorhanden.One or more print carrier webs 2 are preferably fed vertically to the folder 1 according to the invention. The print carrier web 2 is between a groove, gripper and Folding knife cylinder 3 and a cutting cylinder 4 placed on it and cut to the required section length so that the printed copies 17 are produced. For this purpose, the knife cylinder 4 has two diametrically opposed cutting knives 5, while the groove, gripper and folding knife cylinder 3 is advantageously equipped with axially parallel grooves 6 and with grippers 7 and folding knives 8. These parts are available in triplicate.

Die zugeschnittenen Druckexemplare 17 gelangen über eine Bandleitung 9 zu einem Sammelzylinder 10, der vorzugsweise mit Greifern 11 ausgestattet ist, die, wie die Zeichnung erkennen läßt, ebenfalls 3-fach vorhanden sind. Mit Hilfe der Greifer 11 werden die Druckexemplare 17 aus der Bandleitung 9 geführt und an Greifer 13 eines Heftzylinders 12 übergeben, der mit zwei diametrisch gegenüberliegenden Hefteinrichtungen 14, beispielsweise Heftköpfen, ausgestattet ist.The cut printed copies 17 arrive via a ribbon line 9 to a collecting cylinder 10, which is preferably equipped with grippers 11, which, as can be seen in the drawing, are also provided in triplicate. With the help of the grippers 11, the printed copies 17 are guided out of the ribbon line 9 and transferred to the gripper 13 of a stitching cylinder 12 which is equipped with two diametrically opposed stitching devices 14, for example stitching heads.

Wenn die auf dem Sammelzylinder 10 gesammelten Druckexemplare 17 miteinander verbunden werden sollen, so erfolgt die Heftung durch den Heftzylinder 12 nachdem die Druckexemplare 17 an die Greifer 7 des Nut-, Greifer- und Falzmesserzylinder übergeben wurden, also zwischen den Zylindern 3 und 12. Falls keine Heftung erforderlich ist, können die Hefteinrichtungen 14 außer Betrieb gesetzt werden, so daß die Druckexemplare 17 ungeheftet von dem Nut-, Greifer- und Falzmesserzylinder 3 unter Bildung eines Querfalzes an den Falzklappenzylinder 15 übergeben werden, wobei die Falzmesser 8 in üblicher Weise in Falzklappen 16 des Falzklappenzylinders einstoßen. Von dem Falzklappenzylinder 15 können die vorzugsweise quer gefalzten Druckexemplare in üblicher Weise abgenommen und einer Auslage oder einer weiteren Falzeinrichtung zugeführt werden.If the printed copies 17 collected on the collecting cylinder 10 are to be connected to one another, the stapling is carried out by the binding cylinder 12 after the printed copies 17 have been transferred to the grippers 7 of the grooving, gripping and folding knife cylinders, that is to say between the cylinders 3 and 12. If no stitching is required, the stapling devices 14 can be put out of operation, so that the printed copies 17 are unstitched by the groove, gripper and folder knife cylinder 3 to form a transverse fold to the jaw cylinder 15, the folder 8 in the usual manner in jaws Push in 16 of the jaw cylinder. The preferably transversely folded printed copies can be removed from the folding jaw cylinder 15 in the usual manner and fed to a delivery or another folding device.
