Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von mehrteiligen Druckereierzeugnissen, wie Zeitungen, Zeitschriften und dergleichen, ein mehrteiliges Druckereierzeugnis hergestellt nach dem Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens, gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, bzw. 12, bzw.13.The present invention relates to a method for producing multi-part printed products, such as newspapers, magazines and the like, a multi-part printed product produced according to the method and a device for carrying out the method, according to the preamble of claim 1, or 12, or 13.

Aus der EP-B1 0 095 603 bzw. der entsprechenden US-PS 4 489 930 ist eine Einrichtung zum Sammeln von gefalzten Druckbogen bekannt. Diese weist eine Vielzahl von sattelförmigen Auflagen auf, die leitersprossenartig an zwei parallelumlaufenden Förderketten angeordnet sind. Entlang dem förderwirksamen oberen Trum sind mehrere Zuführstellen einander nachgeschaltet, an welchen gefalzte Druckbogen auf die Auflagen rittlings abgelegt werden, wobei der zuletzt abgelete Druckbogen den Aussenteil des Endproduktes bildet. Am Ende der förderwirksamen Strecke wird das Endprodukt, bestehend aus den so aufeinander abgelegten gesammelten Druckbogen, an einer Entnahmestelle von den Auflagen abgehoben und weggefördert.A device for collecting folded printed sheets is known from EP-B1 0 095 603 and the corresponding US Pat. No. 4,489,930. This has a large number of saddle-shaped supports, which are arranged like ladder rungs on two parallel conveyor chains. Along the upper strand, which is effective in conveying, a plurality of feed points are connected one behind the other, at which folded printed sheets are placed astride the supports, the last printed sheet forming the outer part of the end product. At the end of the conveyor-effective route, the end product, consisting of the collected printed sheets placed on top of one another in this way, is lifted off the supports at a removal point and conveyed away.

Weiter ist in der EP-A2 0 218 872 bzw. der entsprechenden US-PS 4 706 951 eine Einrichtung zum Zusammentragen von Druckereiprodukten offenbart. Diese weist eine Vielzahl von taschenförmigen Aufnahmeteilen auf, welche quer zur Umlaufrichtung an einer umlaufend angetriebenen Förderkette angeordnet sind. Entlang der förderwirksamen Strecke sind mehrere Zuführstellen vorgesehen, an welchen Druckereiprodukte in die Aufnahmeteile eingeführt werden. Am Ende der förderwirksamen Strecke werden die so zu einem mehrteiligen Endprodukt zusammengetragenen nebeneinander in den Aufnahmeteilen angeordneten Druckereiprodukte durch Oeffnen des Bodens der Aufnahmeteile zusammen einer Weiterverarbeitungsstation übergeben. Die so durch Zusammentragen gebildeten Druckereierzeugnisse weisen keinen gefalzten Aussenteil auf, innerhalb welchem die anderen Druckereiprodukte, die Innenteile, angeordnet sind.Furthermore, EP-A2 0 218 872 or the corresponding US Pat. No. 4,706,951 discloses a device for collating printed products. This has a variety of pocket-shaped receiving parts, which are arranged transversely to the direction of rotation on a rotating driven conveyor chain. There are several feed points along the conveyor-effective route, at which printed products are introduced into the receiving parts. At the end of the conveyor-effective route, the printed products arranged next to one another in the receiving parts are transferred to a further processing station by opening the bottom of the receiving parts. The printed products thus formed by collating do not have a folded outer part within which the other printed products, the inner parts, are arranged.

Aus der CH-PS 584 153 bzw. der entsprechenden US-PS 3 951 399 ist eine trommelförmige Einrichtung zum Einstecken von Druckereiprodukten bekannt. Dabei wird an einer ersten Zuführstelle ein erstes gefalztes Druckereiprodukt mit seinem Falz voraus, in einen taschenförmigen Aufnahmeteil eines Zellenrades eingeführt. Im Zuge einer Umdrehung des Zellenrades wird das Druckereiprodukt geöffnet und zur nächsten in Axialrichtung versetzt angeordneten Zuführstelle gefördert. Bei dieser Zuführstelle wird ein weiteres, gefaltetes Druckereiprodukt in das erste geöffnete Druckereiprodukt eingesteckt. An weiteren nachgeschalteten Zuführstellen werden weitere Druckereiprodukte in das erste geöffnete Druckereiprodukt eingesteckt, wobei jeweils die eingesteckten Druckereiprodukte Seite an Seite nebeneinander zu liegen kommen oder wobei bereits eingesteckte Druckereiprodukt geöffnet werden, und das nächstfolgende Druckereiprodukt darin eingesteckt wird. Die so gebildeten mehrteiligen Endprodukte weisen also einen zuerst zugeführten Aussenteil und mindestens einen darin angeordneten Innenteil auf.From CH-PS 584 153 or the corresponding US-PS 3 951 399 a drum-shaped device for inserting printed products is known. At a first feed point, a first folded printed product with its fold ahead is inserted into a pocket-shaped receiving part of a cellular wheel. In the course of one revolution of the cell wheel, the printed product is opened and conveyed to the next feed point which is offset in the axial direction. At this feed point, a further, folded printed product is inserted into the first opened printed product. At further downstream feed points, further printed products are inserted into the first opened printed product, wherein the inserted printed products come to lie side by side or wherein already inserted printed products are opened, and the next following printed product is plugged into it. The multi-part end products thus formed thus have an outer part fed first and at least one inner part arranged therein.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Verfahren vorzuschlagen, und eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit welchem bzw. mit welcher auch andere Arten von mehrteiligen Druckereierzeugnisse als bisher bekannt hergestellt und bekannte Druckereierzeugnisse auf andere Weise zusammengefügt werden können.It is an object of the present invention to propose a method and to provide a device with which other types of multi-part printed products can be produced and known print products can be combined in a different way.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teiles des Anspruchs 1 bzw. 12 bzw. 13 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 or 12 or 13.

Dabei werden mindestens ein Innenteil und ein Aussenteil nicht ausschliesslich durch Sammeln zu einem Endprodukt zusammengefügt, wobei der gefalzte Aussenteil am Schluss mit seinem dem Falz gegenüberliegenden offenen Seitenrand voraus rittlings über den Innenteil gelegt wird. Dadurch, dass erst am Schluss der Aussenteil hinzugefügt wird, können Innenteile in beliebiger Art und Weise zusammengefügt werden. So besteht beispielsweise die Möglichkeit, dass die Innenteile zusammengetragen oder ineinander eingesteckt werden. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass über einen Innenteil oder mehrerer zusammengefügte Innenteile ein weiterer Innenteil rittlings abgelegt wird, und gegebenenfalls mindestens ein weiterer Innenteil seitlich dazugefügt wird. Am Schluss wird dann der Aussenteil rittlings über alle zusammengefügten Innenteile gelegt. Das Verfahren ermöglicht somit die Herstellung von Druckereierzeugnissen, in welchen jeweils der dem Falz gegenüberliegende offene Seitenrand eines Innenteils entlang dem Falz des Aussenteils verläuft.In this case, at least one inner part and one outer part are not exclusively joined together to form an end product, the folded outer part at the end being placed astride the inner part with its open side edge opposite the fold. Because the outer part is only added at the end, the inner parts can be joined together in any way. For example, there is the possibility that the inner parts can be brought together or inserted into one another. However, it is also possible for an inner part to be placed astride an inner part or a plurality of joined inner parts, and if necessary at least one further inner part being added laterally. Finally, the outer part is straddled over all the inner parts that have been joined together. The method thus enables the production of printed products, in each of which the open side edge of an inner part opposite the fold runs along the fold of the outer part.

In den Figuren 1 a-g sind einzelne Verfahrensschritte von sieben verschiedenen Ausführungsformen eines Verfahrens zum Herstellen von mehrteiligen Druckereierzeugnissen, wie Zeitungen, Zeitschriften und dergleichen, dargestellt. Der Aussenteil jedes Endproduktes 10 ist mit 12 bezeichnet. Der Innenteil bzw. die Innenteile über welche jeweils der Aussenteil 12 mit seinem dem Falz 14 gegenüberliegenden offenen Seitenrand 16 voraus rittlings gelegt wird, sind mit 18 bis 24 angegeben. Der Aussenteil 12 besteht jeweils aus einem einzigen gefalzten Druckbogen oder mehreren gemeinsam zugeführten gefalzten Druckbogen. Ein nicht gefalzter Innenteil 18 bis 24 weist jeweils einen einzelnen oder mehrere gemeinsam zugeführte Druckbogen auf, und ein gefalzer Innenteil 18 bis 24 kann jeweils aus einem einzigen gefalzten Druckbogen oder mehreren gemeinsam zugeführten gefalzten Druckbogen bestehen.FIG. 1 ag shows individual method steps of seven different embodiments of a method for producing multi-part printed products, such as newspapers, magazines and the like. The outer part of each end product 10 is designated by 12. The inner part or the inner parts over which in each case the outer part 12 is placed astride with its open side edge 16 opposite the fold 14 are indicated by 18 to 24. The outer part 12 consists in each case of a single folded printed sheet or a plurality of folded printed sheets fed together. A non-folded inner part 18 to 24 each has a single or several jointly fed printed sheets, and a folded inner part 18 to 24 can consist of a single folded printed sheet or a plurality of jointly fed folded printed sheets.

Wie in der Fig. 1 a gezeigt, wird über den nichtgefalzten Innenteil 18 der Aussenteil 12 zum Endprodukt 10 rittlings abgelegt.As shown in FIG. 1 a, the outer part 12 for the end product 10 is laid astride the unfolded inner part 18.

Gemäss Fig. 1 b wird über den gefalzten Innenteil 18 mit untenliegendem Falz 26 und obenliegendem offenen Seitenrand 28 der Aussenteil 12 rittlings abgelegt. Im Endprodukt 10 liegt folglich der offene Seitenrand 28 des Innenteils 18 im Bereich des Falzes 14 des Aussenteils 12.1 b, the outer part 12 is straddled over the folded inner part 18 with the fold 26 at the bottom and the open side edge 28 at the top. Consequently, in the end product 10, the open side edge 28 of the inner part 18 lies in the region of the fold 14 of the outer part 12.

Wie in der Fig. 1 c angegeben, werden durch Zusammentragen zwei gefalzte Innenteile 18, 20 mit untenliegenden Falzen 26 zusammengebracht. Ueber diese zusammengetragenen Innenteile 18, 20 wird der Aussenteil 12 rittlings abgelegt, sodass im Endprodukt 10 die offenen Seitenränder 28 der Innenteile 18, 20 im Bereich des Falzes 14 des Aussenteils 12 liegen.As indicated in FIG. 1 c, two folded inner parts 18, 20 are brought together with folds 26 underneath by collating. The outer part 12 is straddled over these collated inner parts 18, 20, so that in the end product 10 the open side edges 28 of the inner parts 18, 20 lie in the region of the fold 14 of the outer part 12.

In der Fig. 1 d ist angegeben, wie in einen ersten mit untenliegendem Falz 26 geöffneten Innenteil 18 ein weiterer nicht gefalzter Innenteil 20 eingesteckt wird. Anschliessend wird seitlich an diese beiden Innenteil 18, 20 ein weiterer gefalzter Innenteil 22 hinzugefügt. Ueber alle drei zusammengefügten Innenteile 18, 20, 22 wird am Schluss der Aussenteil 12 rittlings abgelegt.1 d shows how a further inner part 18 is opened in a first fold 26 located at the bottom not folded inner part 20 is inserted. A further folded inner part 22 is then added laterally to these two inner parts 18, 20. Finally, the outer part 12 is straddled over all three joined inner parts 18, 20, 22.

Gemäss Fig. 1 e werden zuerst zwei gefalzte Innenteile 18, 20 mit untenliegendem offenen Seitenrand 28 zusammengetragen. Ueber diese beiden zusammengetragenen Innenteile 18, 20 wird der Aussenteil 12 rittlings abgelegt, so dass im Endprodukt 10 sämtliche Falze 14, 26 beieinander angeordnet sind.According to FIG. 1 e, two folded inner parts 18, 20 are first gathered together with an open side edge 28 underneath. The outer part 12 is straddled over these two gathered inner parts 18, 20, so that all the folds 14, 26 are arranged together in the end product 10.

Bei der Weiterbildungsform des Verfahrens gemäss Fig. 1 f wird über zwei mit untenliegendem Falz 26 zusammengetragene Innenteile 18, 20 ein weiterer gefalzter Innenteil 22 mit seinem offenen Seitenrand 28 voraus rittlings abgelegt. Anschliessend wird neben die so zusammengebrachten Innenteile 18, 20, 22 seitlich ein weiterer gefalzter Innenteil 24 hinzugefügt. Am Schluss wird über alle Innenteil 18, 20, 22, 24 der Aussenteil 12 rittlings abgelegt.In the further development form of the method according to FIG. 1 f, a further folded inner part 22 with its open side edge 28 is laid astride over two inner parts 18, 20 which are gathered together with the fold 26 located below. Then, in addition to the inner parts 18, 20, 22 thus brought together, a further folded inner part 24 is added laterally. Finally, the outer part 12 is straddled over all inner parts 18, 20, 22, 24.

Gemäss der Fig. 1 g werden zuerst zwei gefalzte Innenteile 18, 20 mit untenliegendem Falz 26 zusammengetragen. Anschliessend wird über diese beiden zusammengetragenen Innenteile 18, 20 ein weiterer gefalzter Innenteil 22 rittlings abgelegt. Nachfolgend wird der Aussenteil 12 rittlings über die Innenteile 18, 20, 22 gelegt, und schlussendlich werden der rittlings abgelegte Innenteil 22 und der Aussenteil 12 im Bereich ihrer Falze 14, 26 miteinander verheftet.According to FIG. 1 g, two folded inner parts 18, 20 with fold 26 lying at the bottom are first brought together. A further folded inner part 22 is then straddled over these two gathered inner parts 18, 20. Subsequently, the outer part 12 is placed astride the inner parts 18, 20, 22, and finally the astride inner part 22 and the outer part 12 are stitched together in the area of their folds 14, 26.

Der Vollständigkeit halber sei noch erwähnt, dass weitere Ausbilungsformen des Verfahrens vorstellbar sind, wobei der Aussenteil und die Innenteile nicht ausschliesslich durch Sammeln zu einem Endprodukt zusammengefügt werden, und wobei immer am Schluss der Aussenteil rittlings über die Innenteile gelegt wird.For the sake of completeness, it should also be mentioned that further forms of training of the method are conceivable, the outer part and the inner parts not being put together to form an end product exclusively, and the end part always being straddled over the inner parts.

In der Fig. 2 ist eine erste Ausbildungsform einer Vorrichtung für die Durchführung des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens stark vereinfacht dargestellt. Sie weist mehrere in einem Abstand hintereinander an einem strichpunktiert angedeuteten und in Förderrichtung F umlaufend angetriebenen Zugorgan 30 angeordnete Aufnahmeteile 32 auf. Die Längserstreckung der Aufnahmeteile 32 verläuft rechtwinklig zur Förderrichtung F und jeder Aufnahmeteil 32 besteht aus einem L-förmig gebogenen Flachblech, dessen längerer Teil ein Abstützorgan 34 bildend gegen oben gerichtet und in Förderrichtung F gesehen leicht nach vorne geneigt ist. Der kürzere Teil des Flachblechs steht vom Abstützorgan 34 entgegen der Förderrichtung F ab, und bildet einen Boden 36 des Aufnahmeteils 32. In Förderrichtung F gesehen sind drei Zuführstellen 38, 40, 42 hintereinandergeschaltet, welche durch Pfeile angedeutet sind. Bei der ersten Zuführstelle 38 wird ein erster gefalzter Innenteil 18 mit seinem Falz 26 voraus in den Aufnahmeteil 32 eingeführt. Die eine Seite des Innenteils 18 kommt am Abstützorgan 34 und der Falz 26 auf dem Boden 36 zur Anlage. Es ist zu beachten, dass das Abstützorgan 34 geringfügig über den offenen Seitenrand 28 des Innenteils 18 vorsteht. Bei der zweiten Zuführstelle 40 wird ein zweiter Innenteil 20 ebenfalls mit vorlaufendem Falz 26 in den Aufnahmeteil 32 eingeführt, sodass die beiden Innenteile 18, 20 Seite an Seite aneinander anliegen. Am Schluss wird bei der Zuführstelle 42 über die beiden zusammengetragenen Innenteile 18, 20 und über das Abstützorgan 34 der Aussenteil 12 mit seinem dem Falz 14 gegenüberliegenden offenen Seitenrand 16 voraus rittlings gelegt. Das so gebildete Endprodukt 10 wird mittels des Aufnahmeteils 32 zu einer nicht dargestellten in Förderrichtung F den Zuführstellen 38, 40, 42 nachgeschalteten Entnahmestelle transportiert, wo in bekannter Art und Weise die beiden Innenteile 18, 20 angehoben und zusammen mit dem Aussenteil 12, beispielsweise von einem Greifer, erfasst und weggefördert werden. Der Vollständigkeit halber sei noch erwähnt, dass die Innenteile 18, 20, sowie der Aussenteil 12 mittels Zuförderern zugeführt werden können oder mittels bekannten Anlegern ab Vorratsstapeln abgezogen und den Aufnahmeteilen 32 zugeführt werden.2 shows a first embodiment of a device for carrying out the method according to the invention in a highly simplified manner. It has a plurality of receiving parts 32 arranged at a distance one behind the other on a traction element 30 indicated by dash-dotted lines and driven all the way around in the conveying direction F. The longitudinal extension of the receiving parts 32 extends at right angles to the conveying direction F and each receiving part 32 consists of an L-shaped flat sheet, the longer part of which forms a support member 34 directed towards the top and, viewed in the conveying direction F, is inclined slightly forward. The shorter part of the flat sheet protrudes from the support member 34 counter to the conveying direction F, and forms a bottom 36 of the receiving part 32. In the conveying direction F, three feed points 38, 40, 42 are connected in series, which are indicated by arrows. At the first feed point 38, a first folded inner part 18 is inserted with its fold 26 ahead into the receiving part 32. One side of the inner part 18 comes to rest on the support member 34 and the fold 26 on the bottom 36. It should be noted that the support member 34 protrudes slightly beyond the open side edge 28 of the inner part 18. At the second feed point 40, a second inner part 20 is also included leading fold 26 inserted into the receiving part 32 so that the two inner parts 18, 20 abut each other side by side. Finally, at the feed point 42, the outer part 12 with its open side edge 16 opposite the fold 14 is placed astride the two assembled inner parts 18, 20 and the support member 34. The end product 10 thus formed is transported by means of the receiving part 32 to a removal point downstream of the feed points 38, 40, 42 in the conveying direction F, where the two inner parts 18, 20 are raised in a known manner and together with the outer part 12, for example from a gripper, are gripped and transported away. For the sake of completeness, it should also be mentioned that the inner parts 18, 20 and the outer part 12 can be fed by means of feeders or can be drawn off from stockpiles by known feeders and can be fed to the receiving parts 32.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine an einem Gestell 44 drehbar gelagerte, umlaufend antreibbare, zellenradförmige Trommel 46, mit einer Vielzahl von in Längsrichtung der Trommel 46 sich erstreckenden taschenförmigen Abteilen 48, die gemeinsam um die Umlaufachse 50 in Pfeilrichtung U umlaufen. An der Umlaufachse 50 sind voneinander in Axialrichtung beabstandeten Speichenräder 52 (von ihnen ist in der Figur 3 nur eines sichtbar) drehbar gelagert. An den Kränzen 54 der Speichenräder 52 sind in Längsrichtung der Trommel 46 verlaufende in radialer Richtung gegen aussen vorstehende Trennwände 56 befestigt, welche in Umlaufrichtung U gesehen die Abteile 48 voneinander trennen.3 shows a drum wheel 46, which is rotatably mounted on a frame 44 and can be driven in rotation, with a plurality of pocket-shaped compartments 48 which extend in the longitudinal direction of the drum 46 and which together rotate in the direction of the arrow U around the rotation axis 50. Spoked wheels 52 (only one of which is visible in FIG. 3) are rotatably mounted on the circumferential axis 50 in the axial direction. On the rims 54 of the spoke wheels 52 are in the longitudinal direction of the drum 46 extending in the radial direction protruding toward the outside partition walls 56 which separate the compartments 48 seen in the direction of rotation U.

Oberhalb der Trommel 46 sind drei in Pfeilrichtung F einander nachgeschaltete Zuförderer 58, 60, 62 vorgesehen, welche mittels einer gemeinsamen Antriebswelle 64 synchron antreibbar sind. Diesen Zuförderern 58, 60, 62 ist ein Wegförderer 64 nachgeschaltet, welcher ebenfalls nur schematisch dargestellt ist. Solche Zuförderer 58, 60, 62 und Wegförderer 64 sind allgemein bekannt und können beispielsweise gleich oder ähnlich aufgebaut sein, wie die in der EP-OS 0 218 872 oder in der CH-PS 575 303 bzw. den entsprechenden US-PS'en 4 706 951 oder 4 058 202 offenbarten Förderer. Die Zuförderer 58, 60, 62 fördern in Zuführrichtung Z gefalzte Druckbogen 66, 68, 70 zur Trommel 46, wobei sie diese Druckbogen 66, 68, 70 an deren Nachlaufkanten 72 fassen. Der Trommel 46 ist ein im wesentlichen parallel zur Zuführrichtung Z verlaufendes unterhalb der Zuförderer 58, 60 angeordnetes Leitblech 74 vorgelagert, welches die auf ihm gleitenden vorlaufenden Kanten der Druckbogen 66, 68 in die jeweiligen Abteile 48 einführt. Unterhalb des Zuförderers 62 ist eine schematisch dargestellte Oeffnungseinrichtung 76 vorgesehen, um die vom Zuförderer 62 zugeführten Druckbogen 70 an ihrem vorlaufenden offenen Seitenrand 78 zu öffnen und rittlings auf die jeweilige Trennwand 56 derart abzulgen, dass jede Druckbogenhälfte in ein anderes Abteil 48 reicht.Above the drum 46, three feed conveyors 58, 60, 62 connected in the direction of the arrow F are provided, which can be driven synchronously by means of a common drive shaft 64. A downstream conveyor 64 is connected downstream of these feed conveyors 58, 60, 62 and is also only shown schematically. Such feed conveyors 58, 60, 62 and away conveyors 64 are generally known and can be constructed, for example, the same or similar to those in EP-OS 0 218 872 or in CH-PS 575 303 or the corresponding US Pat. No. 4 706 951 or 4058 202 promoters disclosed. The feed conveyors 58, 60, 62 convey printed sheets 66, 68, 70 folded in the feed direction Z to the drum 46, wherein they grip these printed sheets 66, 68, 70 at their trailing edges 72. Upstream of the drum 46 is a guide plate 74, which runs essentially parallel to the feed direction Z and is arranged below the feed conveyors 58, 60 and introduces the leading edges of the printed sheets 66, 68 sliding on it into the respective compartments 48. Below the feed conveyor 62, a schematically illustrated opening device 76 is provided in order to open the printed sheets 70 fed by the feed conveyor 62 at their leading open side edge 78 and to lay them astride the respective partition 56 in such a way that each printed sheet half extends into a different compartment 48.

Fig. 4 zeigt einen Vertikalschnitt durch einen Teil der Trommel 46 gemäss Fig. 3 im Bereich des in Förderrichtung F gesehen letzten Zuförderers 62, wobei die nacheinander folgenden Verarbeitungsschritte an den Druckbogen 66, 68, 70 gerafft dargestellt sind. Auf dem Kranz 54 der Speichenräder 52 (siehe Figur 3) sitzten im Querschnitt C-förmige Schienen 78, welche in Längsrichtung der Trommel 46 verlaufen, und welche zusammen mit den auf ihnen befestigten Auflagen 80 Trennwände 56 bilden. In den Schienen 78 sind mittels Führungsrollen 82 Wagen 84 in Axialrichtung der Trommeln 46 verschiebbar gelagert. Die Wagen 84 sind paarweise mittels eines Bügels 86 miteinander verbunden, an welchem eine Steuerrolle 88 drehbar gelagert ist. Die Steuerrollen 88 sind in einer auf der Mantelfläche eines ortsfesten Steuerzylinders 90 angeordneten Kulisse 92 geführt. Die Abwicklung der in sich geschlossenen Kulisse 92 zeigt eine S-Form und veranlasst die Wagen 84 bei einer Umdrehung in Pfeilrichtung U einen Förderhub in Pfeilrichtung F und einem Rückhub in entgegengesetzter Richtung auszuführen, wobei die Hubhöhe im wesentlichen dem Abstand zwischen zwei Zuförderern 58, 60; 60, 62 entspricht (siehe auch Figur 3). An jedem Wagen 84 ist auf der den Führungsrollen 82 abgewandten Seite ein in radialer Richtung gegen aussen gebogenes, abstehendes Führungselement 94 vorgesehen, welches den Boden des betreffenden Abteils 48 bildet. In radialer Richtung gesehen ist innerhalb des Führungselementes 94 am Wagen 84 eine sich in Axialrichtung erstreckende Schwenkwelle 96 gelagert, an welcher mehrere federnde Klemmzungen 98 befestigt sind, von welchen jeweils nur eine sichtbar ist. Die Schwenkwellen 96 und somit auch die Klemmzungen 98 sind von einer Ruhestellung, in welcher sie vom jeweiligen Führungselement 94 überdeckt sind, in eine mit 98′ bezeichnete Klemmstellung und wieder zurück nach Massgabe einer weiteren in dieser Fig. 4 nicht sichtbaren Kulissensteuerung schwenkbar. Mit 100 ist strichpunktiert ein endloses umlaufendes Stützband bezeichnet, welches unterhalb der Trommel 46 (Figur 3) vorgesehen ist. An ihm kommt kurzeitig der Falz 70′ des auf die Auflage 80 rittlings abgelegten Druckbogens 70 zur Anlage. Während die beiden andern in die Abteile 48 eingeführten Druckbogen 66, 68 vom Druckbogen 70 überdeckt sind.FIG. 4 shows a vertical section through part of the drum 46 according to FIG. 3 in the region of the last feeder 62 seen in the conveying direction F, the successive processing steps on the printed sheets 66, 68, 70 being shown in a shirred manner. On the rim 54 of the spoke wheels 52 (see FIG. 3) sat in cross section C-shaped rails 78 which extend in the longitudinal direction of the drum 46 and which, together with the supports 80 fastened thereon, form partition walls 56. In the rails 78, carriages 84 are slidably mounted in the axial direction of the drums 46 by means of guide rollers 82. The carriages 84 are connected to one another in pairs by means of a bracket 86 on which a control roller 88 is rotatably mounted. The control rollers 88 are guided in a link 92 arranged on the lateral surface of a stationary control cylinder 90. The development of the self-contained link 92 shows an S-shape and causes the carriages 84 to carry out a conveying stroke in the direction of arrow U and a return stroke in the opposite direction with one revolution in the direction of arrow U, the lifting height essentially being the distance between two feed conveyors 58, 60 ; 60, 62 corresponds (see also Figure 3). Provided on each carriage 84 on the side facing away from the guide rollers 82 is a protruding guide element 94 which is bent radially outward and which forms the bottom of the relevant compartment 48. Viewed in the radial direction, a pivot shaft 96 extending in the axial direction is mounted on the carriage 84 within the guide element 94, to which a plurality of resilient clamping tongues 98 are fastened, only one of which is visible in each case. The pivot shafts 96 and thus also the clamping tongues 98 can be pivoted from a rest position, in which they are covered by the respective guide element 94, into a clamping position denoted by 98 'and back again in accordance with a further link control that is not visible in this FIG. 4. With 100 dash-dot line is an endless circumferential support band, which is below the Drum 46 (Figure 3) is provided. The fold 70 'of the printed sheet 70 astride the support 80 comes to rest on it for a short time. While the other two printed sheets 66, 68 introduced into the compartments 48 are covered by the printed sheet 70.

Die Vorrichtung gemäss Figuren 3 und 4 funktioniert wie folgt:The device according to FIGS. 3 and 4 works as follows:

Bei sich in Umlaufrichtung U drehender Trommel 46 führt der Zuförderer 58 in jedes Abteil 48 einen ersten Druckbogen 66 ein. Dann werden die Klemmzungen 98 des betreffenden Abteils in die Klemmstellung 98′ überführt um den Druckbogen 66 beim Durchlaufen der unteren Hälfte des Förderweges im Abteil 48 zu halten. Dabei wird der Druckbogen 66 in Folge des Förderhubs des betreffenden Wagens 84 in Förderrichtung F in den Berich des nächsten Zuförderers 60 gefördert. Bevor das betreffende Abteil 48 den Zuförderer 60 erreicht, werden die betreffenden Klemmzungen 98 in ihre Ruhestellung zurückgeschwenkt, wonach nun der zweite vom Zuförderer 60 zugeführte Druckbogen 68 in das Abteil 48 eingeführt werden kann. Bei sich in Offenstellung befindenden Klemmzungen 98 machen die betreffenden Wagen 84 ihren Rückhub um dann erneut mit ihren Klemmzungen 98 die beiden, Seite an Seite, nun nebeneinander liegenden Druckbogen 66, 68 festhaltend, einen Förderhub auszuführen. Bei erneut in Ruhestellung zurückgeschwenkten Klemmzungen 98 wird vom Zuförderer 62 auf jede Auflage 80 ein Druckbogen 70 rittlings abgelegt, so dass die Auflage 80 sowie die in einem Abteil 48 angeordneten anderen Druckbogen 66, 68 von diesem überdeckt werden (vergl. insbesondere Figur 3, links). Im Zuge der Weiterdrehung der Trommel 46 werden nun jeweils von einer Klemmzunge 98 die beiden zuerst zugeführten Druckbogen 66, 68 sowie die in das betreffende Abteil 48 hineinreichenden Druckbogenhälften von auf zwei benachbarte Auflagen 80 rittlings abgelegten Druckbogen 70 festgeklemmt (Figur 4, mitte). Sobald nun ein betreffendes Abteil 48 den Bereich etwa mittig unterhalb der Umlaufachse 50 erreicht hat, werden die betreffenden Klemmzungen 98 kurzzeitig geöffnet, wobei die beiden nebeneinanderliegenden Druckbogen 66, 68 in radialer Richtung gegen aussen in den Bereich des Stützbandes 100 fallen. Das Stützband 100 verhindert dabei, dass die Druckbogen 66, 68, 70 aus den Abteilen 48 bzw. ab den Auflagen 80 fallen (Figur 4, rechts). Dann werden die Klemmzungen 98 wiederum in ihre Klemmstellung 98′ überführt und verharren in dieser Stellung bis die zusammengefügten Druckbogen 66, 68, 70 den Wegförderer 64 erreicht haben. Dort werden die Druckbogen 66, 68, 70 gemeinsam erfasst und weggefördert. Im Bereich zwischen den Zuförderern 58, 60, 62 und dem Wegförderer 64 können gegebenenfalls weitere Verarbeitungsstationen vorgesehen sein. Durch Verlängerung der Trommel 46 und Vergrösserung der Anzahl Zuförderer 58, 60, 62 können auch mehr als drei Druckbogen 66, 68, 70 zusammengefügt werden.With the drum 46 rotating in the direction of rotation U, the feed conveyor 58 introduces a first printed sheet 66 into each compartment 48. Then the clamping tongues 98 of the compartment in question are transferred to the clamping position 98 'in order to hold the printed sheet 66 in the compartment 48 when passing through the lower half of the conveying path. As a result of the conveying stroke of the carriage 84 in question, the printing sheet 66 is conveyed in the conveying direction F into the area of the next feed conveyor 60. Before the relevant compartment 48 reaches the feed conveyor 60, the relevant clamping tongues 98 are pivoted back into their rest position, after which the second printed sheet 68 fed by the feed conveyor 60 can now be introduced into the compartment 48. When the clamping tongues 98 are in the open position, the carriages 84 in question make their return stroke in order to then again carry out a conveying stroke with their clamping tongues 98 holding the two printed sheets 66, 68, which are now side by side, next to one another. When the clamping tongues 98 are swiveled back into the rest position, a print sheet 70 is straddled by the feed conveyor 62 on each support 80, so that the support 80 and the other print sheets 66, 68 arranged in a compartment 48 are covered by it (cf. in particular FIG 3, left). In the course of the further rotation of the drum 46, the first two printed sheets 66, 68 and the printed sheet halves extending into the relevant compartment 48 are clamped by a clamping tongue 98 of printed sheets 70 astride two adjacent supports 80 (FIG. 4, center). As soon as a compartment 48 in question has reached the region approximately centrally below the axis of rotation 50, the clamping tongues 98 in question are opened briefly, the two adjacent printed sheets 66, 68 falling radially outward into the region of the support band 100. The support band 100 prevents the printed sheets 66, 68, 70 from falling out of the compartments 48 or from the supports 80 (FIG. 4, right). Then the clamping tongues 98 are again transferred into their clamping position 98 'and remain in this position until the joined printed sheets 66, 68, 70 have reached the conveyor 64. There, the printed sheets 66, 68, 70 are recorded together and conveyed away. Further processing stations can optionally be provided in the area between the feed conveyors 58, 60, 62 and the removal conveyor 64. By extending the drum 46 and increasing the number of feeders 58, 60, 62, more than three printed sheets 66, 68, 70 can also be joined together.

Figur 5 zeigt eine Vorrichtung die der weiter oben beschriebenen und in der Figur 2 dargestellten Vorrichtung sehr ähnlich ist. An einem in Förderrichtung F umlaufend angetriebenen Zugorgan 30 sind sattelförmige Auflagen 102 befestigt, welch im Bereich der förderwirksamen Strecke abwechlungsweise eine Auflage 102 und einen Aufnahmeteil 32 bilden. Jeder Auflage 102 ist eine nur schematisch dargestellte Oeffnungseinrichtung 104 zugeordnet. Im Berich der Förderwirksamen Strecke sind drei hintereinandergeschaltete Zuführstellen 38, 40, 42 für das Zubringen von Innenteile 18, 20 bzw. des Aussenteils 12 und eine diesen nachgeschaltete Entnahmestelle 106 vorgesehen. Im Bereich der Entnahmestelle 106 ist ein Führungsorgan 108 angeordnet, um die auf dem Boden der Aufnahmeteile 32 anstehenden Innenteile 18, 20 anzuheben.FIG. 5 shows a device which is very similar to the device described above and shown in FIG. 2. Saddle-shaped supports 102 are fastened to a traction member 30 driven in the direction of conveyance F, which alternately form a support 102 and a receiving part 32 in the region of the conveyor-effective route. Each edition 102 is one only Assigned schematically shown opening device 104. In the area of the conveyor-effective route, three feed points 38, 40, 42 connected in series are provided for feeding inner parts 18, 20 or outer part 12 and a removal point 106 connected downstream. A guide element 108 is arranged in the region of the removal point 106 in order to raise the inner parts 18, 20 which are in contact with the bottom of the receiving parts 32.

Bei der ersten Zuführstelle 38 wird in jeden Aufnahmeteil 32 ein gefalzter Innenteil 18 mit seinem Falz 14 voraus eingeführt. Im Zuge des Transports zur nächsten Zuführstelle 40 wird dieser Innenteil 18 mittels der Oeffnungseinrichtung 104 geöffnet, wonach der bei der Zuführstelle 40 zugeführte Innenteil 20 in den geöffneten ersten Innenteil 18 eingesteckt wird. Auf dem Weg zur dritten Zuführstelle 42 wird der Innenteil 18 durch die Oeffnungseinrichtung 104 wieder in die geschlossene Stellung überführt. Bei der Zuführstelle 42 wird auf jede Auflage 104 und über die Innenteile 18, 20 ein gefaltzer Aussenteil 12 mit seinem dem Falz 14 gegenüberliegenden offenen Seitenrand 16 voraus rittlings abgelegt. Beim Erreichen der Entnahmestelle 106 sind die beiden Innenteile 18, 20 mittels des Führungsorganes 108 soweit angehoben, dass der Aussenteil 12 zusammen mit den beiden Innenteilen 18, 20 von einem nicht dargestellten Wegförderer erfasst und wegtransportiert werden können.At the first feed point 38, a folded inner part 18 with its fold 14 in front is inserted into each receiving part 32. In the course of the transport to the next feed point 40, this inner part 18 is opened by means of the opening device 104, after which the inner part 20 fed at the feed point 40 is inserted into the opened first inner part 18. On the way to the third feed point 42, the inner part 18 is brought back into the closed position by the opening device 104. At the feed point 42, a folded outer part 12 with its open side edge 16 opposite the fold 14 is placed astride each support 104 and over the inner parts 18, 20. When the removal point 106 is reached, the two inner parts 18, 20 are raised by means of the guide member 108 to such an extent that the outer part 12 together with the two inner parts 18, 20 can be gripped by a conveyor (not shown) and transported away.

Gemäss Figur 6 sind die Auflagen 102 an einer karussellartigen Halteanordnung befestigt, welche durch ihre vertikale Drehachse 110 schematisch angedeutet ist. Die in Pfeilrichtung U umdrehend angetriebene Halteanordnung transportiert die Auflagen 102 bzw. die durch diese begrenzten Aufnahmeteil 32 entlang den an der Peripherie der Halteanordnung angeordneten Zuführstellen bzw. der Entnahmestelle vorbei. Von diesen ist allerdings nur die Zuführstelle 42 angedeutet, welche in analogerweise wie bei der Vorrichtung gemäss Figur 5 den Aussenteil 12 über die Auflage 102 und den Innenteil 18 legt.According to FIG. 6, the supports 102 are fastened to a carousel-like holding arrangement, which by its vertical Axis of rotation 110 is indicated schematically. The holding arrangement driven in the direction of arrow U transports the supports 102 or the receiving part 32 delimited by them along the feed points or the removal point arranged on the periphery of the holding arrangement. Of these, however, only the feed point 42 is indicated, which in an analogous manner to the device according to FIG. 5 places the outer part 12 over the support 102 and the inner part 18.

Schlussendlich zeigt Figur 7 im Querschnitt einen ortsfesten, langgestreckten, V-förmigen Aufnahmekanal 112, dessen eine Flanke 114 am oberen Ende als sattelförmige Auflage 116 ausgebildet ist. Dem Aufnahmekanal 112 ist ein durch einen Mitnehmer 118 schematisch angedeutetes Transportorgan zugeordnet, um den in den Aufnahmekanal 112 eingeführten Innenteil 18 und den über die Auflage 116 und den Innenteil 18 rittlings abgelegten Aussenteil 12 entlang des Aufnahmekanals 112 zu einer nicht dargestellten Entnahmestelle zu fördern.Finally, FIG. 7 shows in cross section a stationary, elongated, V-shaped receiving channel 112, one flank 114 of which is designed as a saddle-shaped support 116 at the upper end. The receiving channel 112 is assigned a transport element, schematically indicated by a driver 118, in order to convey the inner part 18 inserted into the receiving channel 112 and the outer part 12, which is straddled over the support 116 and the inner part 18, along the receiving channel 112 to a removal point (not shown).

Das Abstütorgan 34 bzw. die Auflagen 80, 102, 116 müssen nicht zwingend über die Innenteile 18, 20, 24, 66, 68 vorstehen, es genügt, dass sie den Innenteilen 18, 20, 24, 66, 68 einen genügenden seitlichen Halt vermitteln, so dass diese nicht einknicken.The support member 34 or the supports 80, 102, 116 do not necessarily have to protrude beyond the inner parts 18, 20, 24, 66, 68, it is sufficient that they impart sufficient lateral support to the inner parts 18, 20, 24, 66, 68 so that they don't buckle.

Das weiter oben beschriebene Verfahren und die angegebenen Vorrichtungen eignen sich insbesodere für die Verarbeitung von Zeitungen, Zeitschriften oder dergleichen. Es ist aber auch denkbar, dass es sich nur beim Aussenteil 12 um ein Druckereiprodukt handelt, und der Innenteil 18, 20, 22, 24 ein anderes flächiges Produkt sein kann, wie beispielsweise ein Stoffmuster.The method described above and the devices specified are particularly suitable for the processing of newspapers, magazines or the like. However, it is also conceivable that only the outer part 12 is a printed product, and the inner part 18, 20, 22, 24 can be another flat product, such as a fabric sample.

Der Vollständigkeit halber sei auch noch erwähnt, dass das Endprodukt 10 noch weiter verarbeitet werden kann. So kann es beispielsweise mit andern Produkten zusammengefügt, gebunden, verpackt, adressiert usw. werden.For the sake of completeness, it should also be mentioned that the end product 10 can be processed further. For example, it can be assembled, bound, packaged, addressed, etc. with other products.

Mit der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung ist es auch möglich, Druckereiprodukte zu sammeln, zusammenzutragen oder einzustecken.With the device according to the invention, it is also possible to collect, collect or insert printed products.
