Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transporting signatures, in which signatures (or sheets) are successively transferred from one conveyor belt to another.
  • a known signature transport device has a belt (or belt) transport which conveys signatures one after the other to a delivery station. At the delivery station, the signatures are transferred into pockets of a paddle wheel. The paddle wheel then conveys the signatures on a delivery belt (or belt) transport.
  • the operating speed of this known signature transport device is limited in that the signatures are transferred from the belt transport into the pockets of the paddle wheel.
  • the signatures consist of one or more sheets of flexible material, which has the tendency to bend outwards due to air resistance or disturbing currents, so that the signatures can open and / or move in an undesired direction while moving from the belt transport means onto the Paddlewheel are transmitted.
  • the present invention provides a new, improved signature transport device in which a first Means of transport includes a delivery station at which the signatures are transferred to a second means of transport.
  • a deformation device at the delivery station of the first transport means, which forms successive deformations between the front and rear end parts of the signatures.
  • the signatures are deformed in an elastic manner by the deforming device, so that deformations occur temporarily, which disappear again after the signatures are removed from the Have moved the deforming device.
  • the deforming device is arranged at a distance from the second means of transport which is less than the distance between the front and rear end parts of a signature.
  • a deflection folder 10 (FIG. 1) comprises a signature-forming section 12 and a signature-transporting section 14.
  • the signature-forming device 16 in the signature-forming section 12 can be actuated to pre-fold and cut a sheet material web 18 running in the longitudinal direction.
  • the signature-forming device 16 has funnel rollers 22, which cooperate with a former 19 to form a longitudinal fold in the web 18 in a known manner. Press rolls 24 and 26 press on web 18 to further develop the longitudinal pre-fold in web 18.
  • the pre-folded web is transported by feed rollers 30 to the cutting cylinders 32 and 34. During each revolution of the cutting cylinders 32, 34, knives cut or separate the web in a direction perpendicular to the pre-fold to form signatures 40 (FIG. 4) in a known manner.
  • Each signature 40 has a closed or pre-folded edge part (42) (FIG. 4), which is located opposite an open-edged part 44.
  • the signature 40 has a leading end portion 46 and a rear end portion 48 as it moves out of the cutting cylinders 32 and 34. When the signature 40 leaves the cutting cylinders 32 and 34, the majority of their opposite outer side surfaces 52 and 54 are flat.
  • the signature transport device 14 comprises two display sections, ie a left display section 58 and a right display section 60 (see FIG. 1).
  • the left delivery section 58 includes a first or belt conveyor 64 which accelerates the signatures received from the signature-forming apparatus 12 to separate their front and rear end parts.
  • Deflection rollers 68 and 70 direct every other signature onto the left delivery section 58 and a second transport device or a paddle wheel 74.
  • a first or belt conveyor 76 interacts with the belt conveyor 64 in order to successively accelerate the signatures 40 received by the cutting cylinders 32 and 34.
  • the deflecting rollers 68 and 70 enable the first or belt transport 76 to convey every second signature in the sequence to a second transport means or paddle wheel 78.
  • the deflection rollers 68 and 70 receive a steady stream of signatures from the cutting cylinder 32 and 34.
  • the signatures are accelerated by the interaction between the belt transports 64 and 76 to the signatures before they enter the nip between the deflection rollers 68 and 70 to split a little.
  • Deflection rollers 68 and 70 rotate in a timing relationship with cutting cylinders 32 and 34 and alternately direct the signatures to left and right delivery sections 58 and 60. Thus, if a signature is directed from deflection rolls 68 and 70 to left delivery section 58, then the next signature is directed to the right display section 60.
  • the deflection rollers 68 and 70 When the deflection rollers 68 and 70 are in the position as shown in FIG. 1, they are able to deflect a signature onto the left delivery section 58. If the deflection rollers 68 and 70 have been rotated by 180 degrees from the position shown in FIG. 1, then these are in able to deflect a signature onto the right delivery section 60.
  • the manner in which the deflection rollers 68 and 70 cooperate to sequentially direct signatures onto the left and right delivery sections 58 and 60 is known and will not be described further here to avoid proliferation.
  • the first or belt transport 64 in the left delivery section 58 comprises a plurality of relatively narrow upper belts 82 which are spaced apart and which are in contact with the main part of a side surface (54) of a signature (40). Likewise, a plurality of spaced apart, relatively narrow lower bands 84 are in contact with the major portion of the opposite side surface (52) of a signature 40.
  • the signature 40 is held between the belts 82 and 84 and controlled by them and moved at a relatively high speed.
  • the second transport means 74 is a rotatable paddle wheel.
  • the Paddle wheel 74 receives the signatures 40 from the belt conveyor 64.
  • the belt conveyor 64 has a delivery station 88 (FIG. 2), where the signatures are transferred from the first or belt conveyor 64 to the second transport means or paddle wheel 74.
  • the belt conveyor 64 and / or the paddle wheel 74 can be replaced by other known types of transportation means.
  • the paddle wheel 74 has an all-round row of pockets 92 (FIG. 2), which extend radially outward from a hub 94.
  • the pockets 92 are formed by adjacent blades or wheel elements 96.
  • the wheel members 96 cooperate to form the outer end portions 100 of the pockets 92.
  • These open outer end portions 100 of the pockets 92 move in a circle as indicated by a broken line 104 in FIG. 2.
  • the axis of rotation of the impeller 74 extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the belts 82 and 84.
  • a signature 40 moves into the pocket, as shown schematically in FIG. 2.
  • the paddle wheel 74 has rotated approximately 180 degrees, the signature moves out of the pocket under the influence of gravity or a mechanical scraper arm onto a third or delivery belt conveyor 108 (FIG. 1).
  • the front end portion 46 of the signature pushes through the open outer end 100 of the pocket.
  • the belt conveyor 64 moves the signature 40 down into a pocket 92 at a speed greater than the speed at which the paddle wheel 74 removes the pocket from the delivery station 88 moved away.
  • the signature 40 While the bag is being rotated further and the signature 40 moves downward in the bag, its rear end part is released by the belt transport 64 at the delivery station 88. The signature 40 then falls freely down into the pocket 92 under the combined influence of its moment of motion and its gravity. During the free fall of the signature 40 into the pocket 92, the front end portion 46 of the signature touches a closed inner end portion or the bottom 112 of the pocket 92.
  • the paddle wheel 74 rotates it to a position opposite the delivery station 88.
  • the signature 40 then falls out of the pocket 92 onto the delivery belt conveyor 108 (Fig. 1), whereupon it is conveyed out of the folder 10.
  • the belt conveyor 76, the paddle wheel 78 and a delivery belt conveyor 116 in the right delivery section 60 work together in the same manner as described here above for the belt transport 64, the paddle wheel 74 and the delivery belt transport 108 of the left delivery section 58.
  • signatures 40 move sequentially from a delivery station 120 (FIG. 1) of the belt conveyor 76 into the pockets of a rotatable paddle wheel 78.
  • the signatures 40 are transferred from the paddle wheel 78 to the delivery belt conveyor 116.
  • two belt transports 64 and 76 with two paddle wheels 74 and 78.
  • a greater or lesser number of means of transportation could be used if desired.
  • Types of means of transport that differ from the means of transport shown could also be used, if desired.
  • the second transport 74 could have a linear array of pockets.
  • signature shaping apparatus 16 could be used if desired.
  • a deforming device 126 (FIGS. 1, 2 and 3) is located at the delivery station 88.
  • the deforming device 126 stiffens the signatures 40 by forming a deformation 132 (FIG. 4) in each signature.
  • Deformation 132 extends from front end portion 46 to rear end portion 48 of signature 40.
  • Deformation 132 stiffens signature 40 and causes it to remain closed and not sag as it moves from delivery station 88 to paddle wheel 74 (Fig . 1). Without deformation 132, the signature 40 tends to sag and / or open its front end portion 46 as it is moved from the delivery station 88 to the paddle wheel 74.
  • the exact speed at which a deformed signature 40 can be moved from the first transport means 64 to the second transport means 74 will vary due to many factors.
  • the speed at which the deformed signature moves between the transport means can fluctuate due to the different thickness and / or flexibility of the material of the signature.
  • the speed at which it can be moved between the means of transport can be significantly increased. Since many factors can affect the speed at which signatures 40 are fed from the tape conveyor 64 to the paddle wheel 74, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to any particular signature supply speed.
  • the deformation 132 stiffens the signatures 40 so that they can be sequentially transferred from the belt conveyor 64 to the paddle wheel 74 at a relatively high speed, the signatures should have smooth side surface main parts 52 and 54 when they come out of the folder 10. That is, the deformation 132 temporarily and disappears after the signature 40 has moved into the impeller 74.
  • the signature 40 is elastically bent by the deforming device 126, one that it is folded or deformed. After the signature 40 has completely passed through the deforming device 126, the natural elasticity of the sheet material forming the signature causes it to reform into the original shape. The deformation 132 will therefore disappear after the signature 40 has left the deformation device 126.
  • the deformation 132 remains in the signature 40 as long as it is in the deformation device 126, in which the material of the signature 40 is bent elastically and the deformation 132 is maintained.
  • the opening 100 (FIG. 2) to a paddle wheel pocket 92, which is intended to receive a signature 40, is located at a distance from the deforming device 126 that is substantially less than the distance between the front and rear end parts 46 and 48 of the signature 40. Therefore, the signature 40 is still in contact with the deforming device 126 when it enters a pocket 92 of the impeller 74.
  • the deforming device 126 can thus maintain the deformation 132 in the signature 40 and keep it rigid, while the front end part 46 thereof moves through the space between the belt conveyor 64 and the paddle wheel 74.
  • the controlled delivery of a signature 40 into a paddle wheel pocket 92 can be improved by maintaining the deformation 132 during most of the time that the signature 40 is moving into the pocket. Accordingly, the deforming device 126 is close to the orbit 104 of the outer end or the tips 136 (FIG. 2) of the blade elements 96. This makes it possible for one Signature 40 for the large part of the time in which it is fed from the delivery station 88 to a pocket 92 can remain in contact with the deforming device 126.
  • the deforming device 126 protrudes between the bands 82 (see FIG. 3) in order to form the deformation 132 in the signature 40.
  • Deformer 126 may be any of the known designs.
  • the shaping device 126 has a shaping roller 140.
  • the shaping roller 140 has an immovable steel carrier 142 with cylindrical band support segments 144.
  • the metal carrier 142 also has cylindrical intermediate segments 146 with a relatively small diameter, which are arranged coaxially between the band support segments 144.
  • the deforming roller 140 rotates about an axis which runs parallel to the axis of rotation of the impeller 74.
  • each band support segment 144 is in contact with one side of a band 82.
  • the tape support segment 144 presses the opposite side of the tape 82 against the major portion of a side surface 54 of a signature 40 (Fig. 3).
  • the surface speed of the belt support segment 144 and the transport speed of the belt 82 are the same so that there is no slippage between the belt support segment 144 and the belt 82.
  • the carrier roller 142 of the shaping device 126 is driven in a clock cycle relationship with a belt support roller 150 for the belts 84.
  • the metal belt support roller 150 has cylindrical belt support segments 152 which are in contact with the belts 84. It should be understood that even if the forming roller 140 and the belt support roller 150 in FIG. 3 appear to be perpendicular to one another, they are actually offset vertically from one another, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. However, rollers 140 and 150 can be oriented vertically if desired.
  • the deforming roller 140 and the belt support roller 150 are rotated in a timing relationship with each other at one and the same surface speed by intermeshing gears 156 and 158.
  • the gears 156 and 158 are attached to support bearing end portions 160 and 162 of the rollers 140 and 150 Support bearing end portions 160 and 162 are carried by an end wall 164 of the folder 10.
  • the opposite end portions of the rollers 140 and 150 are rotatably supported by fixed pins 166 and 168 which are connected to a second side wall 170 of the folder 10.
  • a cylindrical embossing segment 174 for contact with the signature 40 between the belts 82 is protruding on the forming roller 140.
  • the Cylindrical embossing segment 174 has a larger diameter than the support and intermediate segments 144 and 146 of the forming roller 140 and is arranged in a coaxial relationship therewith. Cylindrical embossing segment 174 has a radius that is greater than the radius of band support segment 144 and the thickness of band 82 together. Thus, the embossed segment 174 protrudes beyond the bands 82 in order to bend the signature elastically and to form the deformation 132 in the manner shown in FIG. 3.
  • the outside of the embossing segment 174 consists of a flexible, compensating material which does not fold the signature 40.
  • the embossing segment 174 exerts sufficient pressure on the signature 40 to bend it elastically and thus form the deformation 132. Since the signature 40 is deformed as long as it is in contact with the stamping segment 174, the deformation 132 remains in the signature 40 until it has moved out of the grip of the stamping segment.
  • the embossing segment 174 is arranged on a part of the carrier roller 142 with a relatively small diameter.
  • the embossing segment 174 is formed on a part of the carrier roller 142 which has the same diameter and the same axial dimension as an intermediate segment 146 of the carrier roller 142.
  • the die embossing segment 174 has an annular, polymeric body or support ring 180 (FIG. 5) which is attached to the carrier roller 142 and rotates therewith.
  • the support ring 180 has a cylindrical outer surface 182 with a radius which is approximately equal to the entire radius of a band support segment 144 (FIG. 3).
  • An elastic, flexible crown segment 186 (FIG. 5) is attached to and rotates with the support ring 180 and the deforming roller 140.
  • the crown segment 186 has an outer radius greater than the radius of the belt support segment 144 and the thickness of the belt 82 when together is attached to the surface 182 of the support ring 180. There is sufficient distance between the bands 82 so that the embossing segment 174 can protrude from the bands to form the deformation 132 in the signature 40.
  • the crown segment 186 comes into contact with the successive signatures 40 to form the deformations 132.
  • the cylindrical crown segment 186 is arranged in a coaxial relationship with the support ring 180.
  • the crown segment 186 is flexible in the radial direction, so that a signature 40 can be deformed in an elastic manner without this deformation remaining in the signature 40.
  • the resilient crown segment 186 has a cylindrical inner layer 190 which shields and extends coaxially with the support ring 180.
  • the cylindrical inner layer 190 consists of cloth or fabric.
  • the inner layer 190 is attached to the support ring 180 by means of a cylindrical adhesive layer 192.
  • a cylindrical outer layer 196 (FIG. 5) runs coaxially with the cylindrical inner layer 190 and shields it.
  • the cylindrical outer layer 196 is made of cloth or fabric which, at least to some extent, is compliant.
  • the outer layer 196 is releasably connected to the inner layer 190 by a kind of hook-and-loop fastener 198, which is arranged between these two layers.
  • the hook-and-loop fastener 198 can be released to the Separate the outer layer 196 from the inner layer 190 and replace the outer layer 196 when it is worn by contact with the signatures 40.
  • the hook-and-loop fastener 198 has a plurality of hooks 202 which are fixedly connected to the inner layer 190 and directed radially outwards.
  • the fastener 198 also has a plurality of loops 204 which are fixedly connected to the outer layer 196 and directed radially inwards.
  • the hooks 202 are releasably connected to the loops 204 to connect the inner and outer layers.
  • the hooks 202 and loops 204 are made of a synthetic material, which causes them to adhere to each other when pressed together.
  • hooks 202 have been shown projecting outward from the inner layer 190 and the loops 204 have been shown as projecting inward from the outer layer 196, their positions could also be reversed; that is, the hooks could protrude inward from the outer layer 196 and the loops could protrude outward from the inner layer 190 if desired.
  • This type of hook and loop fastener 198 is a well known design and commercially available under the trademark "VELCRO".
  • the hook-and-loop fastener 198 can be compressed, at least to some extent, so that the outer layer 196 yields or under the influence of forces transmitted to the outer layer 196 during the formation of the deformation 132 Inner layer 190 moved.
  • the crown segment 186 has a cylindrical outer surface 208 which comes into contact with the signature 40 (FIG. 5). This outside 208 is flexible to prevent the deformation 132 formed in the signature 40 from being permanent.
  • the cylindrical outer side 208 is formed by elastically bendable loops 210 which protrude radially outward from the outer layer 196.
  • the loops 210 are of the same nature as the loops 204 of the fastener 198.
  • the cylindrical outside 208 of the crown segment 186 leaves a minimal mark in the signature 40.
  • other types of crown segments can be used if desired, although the nature of the elastic outside 208 described herein is preferred.
  • the embossing segment 174 could be a chrome wheel, a round brush, a round plastic wheel, etc., if desired.
  • the outside 208 of the crown segment 186 moves at a higher surface speed than the signature 40. Therefore, when the deformation 132 is formed, there is slippage or shifted contact between the outside 208 of the crown segment 186 and the main part of a side surface 54 of a signature 40 ( Figures 3 and 4). This slip causes a kind of yielding, brushing contact between the crown segment 186 (FIG. 5) on the embossing segment 174 and a signature 40 in order to bend it elastically without permanently deforming it. If desired, the outer surface 208 of the crown segment 186 could move at the same speed as the signature 40.
  • crown segment 186 of the die embossing segment 174 allows the outer layer 196 to be easily separated from the inner layer 190 when the outer layer 196 is worn.
  • the hook-and-loop fastener 198 can thus easily be released to remove the worn outer layer 196 from the inner layer 190.
  • a new outer layer can then be easily reconnected to the inner layer 190 by the fastener 198 mentioned.
  • Crown segment 186 could also be different, if desired.

  • a single embossing segment 174 forms a single corrugation 132 in a signature 40.
  • a plurality of embossed segments are provided for forming a plurality of deformations in each signature 40. Since this embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is essentially the same as that shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the same reference numbers will be used used to identify like parts, with the additional letter "a" referring to the parts in Figure 6 to avoid confusion.

  • the cylindrical embossing segments 174a project radially outward from cylindrical band support segments 144a further than the thickness of a radial cylindrical band support segment 144a and the thickness of a band 82a.
  • the shaped embossing segments 174a protrude between the bands 82a which are spaced apart from one another and form a multiplicity of deformations in a signature which run at a distance from one another between their front and rear end parts.
  • three stamping segments 174a are shown in FIG. 6, a greater or lesser number of stamping segments can be used if desired.
  • each of the stamping segments 174a has the same nature as the stamping segment 174.
