Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machine for cutting and folding a strip of printed paper, used in particular downstream of a rotary printer.
  • the machine comprises a triangle 1, a cutting cylinder 2, a transfer cylinder 3, a folding cylinder 4, and a second fold cylinder 5.
  • the printed strip first passes through the triangle 1 which produces a longitudinal fold 6 mid-way from its edges (see FIGS. 2 and 3), generally called a triangle fold, then the folded strip 7 passes between the cutting cylinder 2 and the transfer cylinder 3 where a cross section is made separating a copy 8 from the folded strip 7, the copy 8 then passes between the transfer cylinders 3 and folder 4 where a transverse fold 9, generally called the first fold, is made at mid -distance from the cuts 10 which limit the copy 8, which becomes at the end of this folding a tabloid notebook 11 such as that shown in FIG.
  • the cutting cylinder 2 has a circumference equal to the length of printing on the paper (it has the same diameter as the printing cylinder (s) of the printer) and is provided along a generator (it that is to say from a line of its lateral surface parallel to its axis of rotation) of a saw 14 which cooperates successively with one of the grooves 15A or 15B of the transfer cylinder 3 to cut the folded strip 7.
  • the transfer cylinder 3 has a diameter twice that of the cylinder 2 so that an example 8 covers it over a half-circumference. Near and downstream of each groove 15A or 15B, it comprises a row of needles 16A or 16B, generally called sizes, which come out or retract with respect to the surface of the cylinder 3 in order to respectively maintain the strip 7 or copy 8 by crossing them (which leaves traces 17, visible in FIGS. 2 and 3) - or else release them, when necessary.
  • the transfer cylinder 3 comprises an engaging blade 18A or 18B which engages the portion of the specimen 8 which covers it in the jaw 19A or 19B of the folding cylinder 4, which forms the first fold 9.
  • the folding cylinder 4 also comprises two engaging blades 20A and 20B similar to those of the cylinder 3 which respectively engage the portion of the tabloid notebook 11 which covers them in the jaw 21A or 21B of the second fold cylinder 5 to form the second fold 12 and the notebook 13 thus formed is extracted from the cylinder 5 by the stripper 22 which directs it onto the belt 23 which causes it to continue its progression in the machine.
  • the invention aims to simplify the transition from one configuration to another on a machine of this kind.
  • the machine be provided with a folding cylinder which comprises at least one engaging blade movable between two fixed positions, an extended position where it projects relative to the lateral surface of the cylinder and is adapted to cooperate with a jaw of the second fold cylinder, and a retracted position where it is located inside the folding cylinder, this engaging blade being intended to be put in the extended position when it is desired to make said second fold while otherwise it is put in position retracted.
  • the invention therefore makes it possible to avoid both the assembly or disassembly operation of the engaging blades and the assembly or disassembly operation of the filling bars.
  • the folding cylinder has two stops limiting the travel of the engaging blade corresponding respectively to the extended position and to the retracted position.
  • the operator therefore only has to pass from one stop to the other, without having to check whether he has correctly retract or remove the blade.
  • the blade is linked to a mechanism comprising an elastic element and admitting between said abutments a configuration in which said elastic element is compressed as much as possible and on either side of which the elastic element biases the mechanism stably towards one of said stops.
  • the folding cylinder comprises several engaging blades, and in particular two diametrically opposite blades as in the preceding example, it is particularly advantageous to provide a coupling device between the blades to pass them simultaneously from the extended position to retracted position and vice versa.
  • the folding cylinder 30 is intended to replace the cylinder 4 shown in FIG. 1. It comprises a central portion 31, illustrated in one piece to simplify the drawings, a cylindrical plate 32 which laterally covers the central portion, and flanges 33A and 33B forming a body with the central part at the respective ends of the cylinder 30.
  • first fold jaws 34A and 34B similar to the jaws 19A and 19B of the cylinder 4 of FIG. 1, which each comprise a fixed jaw 35A or 35B and a movable blade 36A or 36B; as well as two diametrically opposite engaging blades 37A and 37B about an eighth of a turn downstream of the respective jaws 34A and 34B.
  • these engaging blades are movable between two fixed positions, the extended position shown in FIG. 5 where they protrude relative to the lateral surface of the cylinder - and more precisely relative to the plate 32 - and where they are respectively adapted to cooperate with a jaw such as the jaw 21A or the jaw 21B of the second fold cylinder 5; and the retracted position shown in FIG. 4 where they are inside the cylinder 30.
  • the cylinder 30 is used like the cylinder 4 in the configuration shown in FIG. 1; and when the blades are retracted (FIG. 4), it is used like the cylinder 4 when the blades 20A and 20B have been disassembled there and replaced these by filling bars.
  • a coupling device is provided between the blades 37A and 37B for passing them simultaneously from the extended position to the retracted position and vice versa; It comprises, for each engaging blade, a shaft 38A or 38B articulated on the cylinder along an axis 39A or 39B parallel to the axis of rotation 40 of the cylinder, shaft on which the blade is mounted which is therefore movable between the extended positions and retracted by rotation of the shaft for each shaft, a lever 41A or 41B carrying at a first end a roller 42A or 42B respectively articulated around an axis 50A or 50B, and secured to the shaft at a second end; a collar 43 articulated on the cylinder along the same axis of rotation 40, and comprising for each lever a yoke 44A or 44B oriented radially in which is engaged in sliding the roller of the lever.
  • the levers 41A and 41B are secured to their respective shaft by tightening, by means of the screw 45A or 45B, and the shafts 38A and 38B are disposed respectively in a groove 46A or 46B of the cylinder, adapted to accommodate the blade in the retracted position, and they are articulated at each end on the flanges 33A and 33B (see FIGS. 6 to 8 for the shaft 38A).
  • the collar 43 rotates freely around the rocket 47 of the cylinder, while laterally it is held between the flange 33A and two tabs 48A and 48B screwed onto it.
  • the sliding of the roller 42A or 42B in the yoke 44A or 44B makes possible the simultaneous rotation of the collar 43 and shafts 38A and 38B, by absorbing the variation in distance which occurs during the rotation between the end of the lever 41A or 41B and the axis 40 around which the collar rotates.
  • Two stops 49A and 49B which correspond respectively to the retracted position and to the extended position are provided on the cylinder to facilitate the task of the operator, who must simply go from one stop to the other when he has to pass the blades from one position to another.
  • the stop 49B which corresponds to the extended position, is adjustable, which has the advantage of allowing adjustment of the extended blade position if necessary.
  • the coupling device has a configuration where the articulation axes 39A, 50A and 40 or 39B, 50B and 40, which are parallel, are coplanar, that is to say a configuration where the roller 42A or 42B is brought as close as possible to the collar 43.
  • a cylindrical recess is provided at the bottom of each yoke, and a spring 51A or 51B is disposed there, which tends to distance each roller from the collar.
  • Each spring is compressed as much as possible in the configuration where the roller is brought as close as possible to the collar, and on either side of this configuration it biases the collar in a stable manner, either towards the stop 49A or towards the stop 49B.
  • the springs are sufficiently powerful, they will be able to maintain the blades in the extended or retracted position, otherwise it is necessary to provide additional means, as is the case here: the bearing formed in the flange 33B for mounting the shaft 38A is split and has a screw 52 to tighten it and immobilize the rotating shaft (see Figures 7 and 8).
  • the end of the shaft 38A opposite to that shown in Figures 4 and 5 includes a prismatic boss 53 and more precisely hexagonal, intended to be controlled by a key.
  • the dimensions of the boss 53 and of the head of the screw 52 are advantageously identical, it is in fact thus possible to use the same key to loosen the bearing, rotate the shaft 38A, and tighten the bearing.
  • the gripping means on the shaft is no longer a prismatic boss, but a cam 54 with two opposite inclined ramps 55A and 55B secured to the end of the shaft 38A
  • the control element comprises: a lever 56 in the form of a V articulated at its tip on a shaft 57 secured to the frame of the machine while each end opposite the point carries a roller 58A or 58B; two stops 59A and 59B between which the lever 56 is movable, corresponding respectively to the retracted position ( Figure 10) and in the extended position ( Figure 9) of the blades, one of the rollers acting during a slow rotation of the cylinder on one of the ramps of the cam to rotate the shaft to the desired position, if not there, that is to say at least until passing the point of maximum compression; and means for controlling the lever 56.
  • control means of the V-shaped lever comprise a jack 60, while in a variant not illustrated, they comprise a rod.
  • control means shown in Figures 9 and 10 have the advantage of allowing remote control and automatic passage from one to the other of the blade positions.
  • the latter comprises only one engaging blade, or even more than two blades.
