Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Übernahme, Speicherung und Abgabe von Falzprodukten unter deren Falzrücken Mittel zum Öffnen derselben einführbar sind, wobei an einer Transportvorrichtung im Abstand voneinander Trennelemente angeordnet sind, die bei der Übernahme der Falzprodukte jeweils in die gespreizten Hälften der Falzprodukte einführbar und bei deren Abgabe herausnehmbar angeordnet sind, die bei geradliniger Führung der Transportvorrichtung an dieser anliegen und mit einem Ende an ihr befestigt sind und die nach der Übernahme der Falzprodukte zusammen mit der Transportvorrichtung zu einer Speicherrolle geformt werden.The invention relates to a device for taking over, storing and delivering folded products under the fold back of which means for opening the same can be inserted, separating elements being arranged on a transport device at a distance from one another, which can be inserted into the spread halves of the folded products and taken over when the folded products are taken over the discharge of which are removably arranged, which bear against the transport device when it is guided in a straight line and are attached to it at one end and which, after the folded products have been taken over, are formed together with the transport device into a storage roll.

Eine Vorrichtung dieser Art ist bereits aus der EP-A-0271 800 (entspricht der DE-C-3 643 026) bekannt. In dieser Vorrichtung werden die aufzunehmenden und anschließend in einem Speicherwickel oder als linearer Strang abzuspeichernden Falzprodukte von einer Transportvorrichtung übernommen, die von beiden Seiten hinter den Falzrücken des Falzprodukts eingreift. Für eine derartige Übernahme der Falzprodukte ist es erforderlich, daß die bügelartigen Trennelemente breiter als die Falzprodukte sind. Zudem ist eine Verformung der als Trennelemente dienenden Träger erforderlich.A device of this type is already known from EP-A-0271 800 (corresponds to DE-C-3 643 026). In this device, the folded products to be picked up and then stored in a storage roll or as a linear strand are taken over by a transport device which engages behind the folded back of the folded product from both sides. For such a takeover of the folded products, it is necessary that the bow-like separating elements are wider than the folded products. In addition, a deformation of the carrier serving as separating elements is required.

Hiervon ausgehend ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine vereinfachte Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der Falzprodukte ohne Überfalz in einfacher Weise übernommen, abgespeichert und wieder abgegeben werden können, wobei die Übernahme- bzw. Trennelemente nicht zwingend breiter als die Falzprodukte sein müssen.Proceeding from this, it is the object of the present invention to create a simplified device with which folded products can be taken over, stored and released again in a simple manner without overfolding, the take-over or separating elements not necessarily having to be wider than the folded products.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus der beschreibung in Verbindung mit den Zeichnungen und aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved by applying the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Further developments result from the description in connection with the drawings and from the subclaims.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles beschrieben, wobei bezug auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen genommen wird. Es zeigen:

Vorzugsweise werden Falzprodukte 1, die keinen Überfalz aufweisen müssen, auf Stäben 2 hängend zugeführt. Wie Fig. 1 erkennen läßt, sind die Stäbe 2 schwenkbar in Führungen 3 gelagert. Die Führung 3 ist jeweils um einen Zapfen 4 schwenkbar. Letzterer ist in einem mit einer Transportkette 5 verbundenen Mitnehmer 6 gelagert. Die Kette 5 läuft in Führungen 7. Die Führungen 3 werden über einen Zapfen 8 von einer Führungsbahn 9 gesteuert, wie Fig. 4 zeigt. Eine ähnliche Transportvorrichtung ist beispielweise in der DE-C-34 27 559 beschrieben, die ebenfalls auf die Anmelderin zurückgeht.Folded products 1, which do not have to have an overlap, are preferably fed in hanging on bars 2. As can be seen in Fig. 1, the rods 2 are pivotally mounted in guides 3. The guide 3 is pivotable about a pin 4. The latter is mounted in a carrier 6 connected to a transport chain 5. The chain 5 runs in guides 7. The guides 3 are controlled by a guide 8 via a pin 8, as shown in FIG. 4. A similar transport device is described for example in DE-C-34 27 559, which also goes back to the applicant.

Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, ist jeweils mit einem Stab 2 ein Führungsblech 10 verbunden, das jeweils unterhalb des Stabes 2 zwischen einer unteren 11 und einer oberen 12 Hälfte eines Falzproduktes 1 zu liegen kommt, da die Falzprodukte 1 etwa sattelförmig auf den Stäben 2 zugeführt werden (siehe insbesondere Fig. 3). Werden nun die Stäbe 2 durch einen entsprechenden Antrieb der Kette 5 in Richtung des Pfeiles 13 bewegt, so stoßen die Bleche 10 an eine ortsfeste Zunge 14 und werden dadurch allmählich in eine Schräglage überführt, während sie in Richtung des Pfeiles 13 bewegt werden. Dadurch wird jeweils die untere Hälfte 11 abgespreizt, so daß sich das Falzprodukt 1 öffnet. Im weiteren Verlauf der Schuppenbildung wird somit erreicht, daß nur ein unteres Teilstück 15 der unteren Hälfte 11 senkrecht nach unten hängt, wie Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen. Dies ist insbesondere der Fall, wenn verhältnismäßig dünne Falzprodukte 1 verarbeitet werden.As shown in FIG. 1, a guide plate 10 is connected to a rod 2, which comes to lie below the rod 2 between a lower 11 and an upper 12 half of a folded product 1, since the folded products 1 are approximately saddle-shaped on the rods 2 are supplied (see in particular Fig. 3). Now the rods 2 by an appropriate drive the chain 5 moves in the direction of arrow 13, the plates 10 abut a fixed tongue 14 and are thereby gradually brought into an inclined position while being moved in the direction of arrow 13. As a result, the lower half 11 is spread apart, so that the folded product 1 opens. In the further course of the formation of flakes it is thus achieved that only a lower section 15 of the lower half 11 hangs vertically downwards, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. This is particularly the case when relatively thin folded products 1 are processed.

Ansonsten nehmen die Teilstücke 15 mehr eine Schräglage ein, bezogen auf die Darstellung in Fig. 2 und 3.Otherwise, the sections 15 assume an inclined position, based on the illustration in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Wie in Fig. 2 angedeutet ist, wird ein Stahlband 18 von einer Vorratsrolle 16 abgezogen und in Richtung eines Pfeiles 17 bewegt. Auf dem Stahlband 18 sind als Trennelemente 19 wirkende Haltebleche 19 befestigt, beispielsweise durch Punktschweißung. Die Haltebleche 19 weisen dadurch eine gewisse Eigenelastizität auf und üben eine Greiferfunktion aus. Dadurch öffnen sich jeweils die Haltebleche 19, wenn sie um eine Krümmung, beispielsweise um eine Rolle 20 geführt werden, und zwar soweit, daß sie das herabhängende Bogenstück 15 erfassen können, das zwecks besserer Übernahme von Zungen 21 (vgl. Fig. 4) geführt wird.As indicated in FIG. 2, a steel strip 18 is pulled off a supply roll 16 and moved in the direction of an arrow 17. Holding plates 19 acting as separating elements 19 are fastened to the steel strip 18, for example by spot welding. The holding plates 19 thus have a certain intrinsic elasticity and exercise a gripper function. As a result, the holding plates 19 open when they are guided around a curvature, for example around a roller 20, to the extent that they can grasp the hanging arch piece 15, which leads to the better transfer of tongues 21 (see FIG. 4) becomes.

Nachdem die Haltebleche 19 um die von der Rolle 20 gebildete Übernahmekrümmung 20 herumgeführt sind, schließen sich diese greiferartig und halten dadurch die Falzprodukte 1 jeweils an der unteren Hälfte 11 fest. Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik müssen die Haltebleche 19 nicht breiter als die Falzprodukte 1 sein, sondern können vielmehr auch wesentlich schmäler als diese ausgebildet werden.After the holding plates 19 are guided around the take-over bend 20 formed by the roller 20, they close like a gripper and thereby hold the folded products 1 in each case on the lower half 11. In contrast to the prior art, the holding plates 19 do not have to be wider than the folded products 1, but rather can also be made significantly narrower than these.

Gemäß Fig. 4 werden nun die Stäbe 2 mit den Führungsblechen 10 senkrecht zur Transportebene 13 geführt, nämlich in Richtung eines Pfeiles 22, so daß sie seitlich aus den Falzprodukten 1 herausgezogen werden. Das Herausziehen der Stäbe 2 aus den Falzprodukten 1 erfolgt, während die Kette 5 den Zapfen 4 auf der in Fig. 4 angedeuteten Bahn 9 bewegt. Dabei werden die Stäbe 2 über jeweils einen der Zapfen 8 mit Hilfe der Bahn 23 parallel geführt. Nach dem Herausziehen der Stäbe 2 mit den Führungsblechen 10 aus den Falzprodukten 1 kann das Stahlband mit den in den Greifern, d.h. in den Halteblechen 19, gehaltenen Falzprodukten 1 zu einem Wickel, d.h. zu einer Speicherrolle 24 (Fig. 2), geformt werden. Die Haltebleche 19 bilden Trennelemente zwischen den unteren 11 und den oberen Hälften 12 und üben, wie vorangehend erwähnt wurde, eine Greiferfunktion aus. Sie ermöglichen das Öffnen der Falzprodukte 1, ohne daß diese einen Überfalz aufweisen müssen.4, the rods 2 are now guided with the guide plates 10 perpendicular to the transport plane 13, namely in the direction of an arrow 22, so that they emerge laterally from the folded products 1 be pulled out. The rods 2 are pulled out of the folded products 1 while the chain 5 moves the pin 4 on the path 9 indicated in FIG. 4. The rods 2 are guided in parallel via one of the pins 8 with the help of the web 23. After the rods 2 with the guide plates 10 have been pulled out of the folded products 1, the steel strip with the folded products 1 held in the grippers, ie in the holding plates 19, can be formed into a coil, ie into a storage roll 24 (FIG. 2). The holding plates 19 form separating elements between the lower 11 and the upper halves 12 and, as mentioned above, perform a gripper function. They allow the folding products 1 to be opened without these having to have an overlap.

Alternativ zur Bildung eines Wickels, d.h. der Speicherrolle 24, können beispielsweise Abschnitte mit Halteblechen 19 oder mit anderen Greiferelementen versehene Führungen (hier in Form der Stahlbänder 18) auch in anderer Weise zwecks Speicherung abgelegt werden, beispielsweise in flacher übereinander liegender Form, wie Kuchenbleche gestapelt.Alternatively to forming a wrap, i.e. of the storage roll 24, sections with retaining plates 19 or guides provided with other gripper elements (here in the form of the steel strips 18) can also be stored in another way for storage, for example in a stacked form such as cake trays.

Gemäß der Erfindung erfolgt die Abwicklung der Speicherrolle 24 in der in Fig. 6 dargestellten Weise. Hierbei wird das Stahlband 18 über ein Führungsstück 25 um eine Abgabekrümmung 26, hier um eine Rolle 26, in Richtung eines Pfeiles 27 geführt, um wieder eine Vorratsrolle 16 zu bilden. Wie Fig. 6 des weiteren erkennen läßt, wird dabei das Bogenteil 15 mit der Bogenhälfte 11 zunächst vom Halteblech 19 festgehalten, während sich die andere Hälfte 12 aufgrund der Schwer-und Fliehkräfte in Richtung des Pfeiles 28 bewegt. Dadurch öffnet sich jeweils das Falzprodukt 1, d.h. die unteren 11 und die oberen Hälften 12 spreizen sich, wie in Fig. 6 dargestellt. Danach können die Falzprodukte 1 auf einem Sattel 29 abgelegt werden, der z.B. eine Zubringerkette eines Sammelhefters sein kann.According to the invention, the storage roll 24 is processed in the manner shown in FIG. 6. Here, the steel strip 18 is guided via a guide piece 25 around a delivery curve 26, here around a roller 26, in the direction of an arrow 27 in order to again form a supply roller 16. As can also be seen in FIG. 6, the arch part 15 with the arch half 11 is initially held by the holding plate 19, while the other half 12 moves in the direction of the arrow 28 due to the gravitational and centrifugal forces. As a result, the folded product 1 opens, ie the lower 11 and the upper halves 12 spread, as shown in FIG. 6. The folded products 1 can then be placed on a saddle 29, which can be, for example, a feeder chain of a saddle stitcher.

Die vorangehenden Ausführungen zeigen, wie in vorteilhafter Weise Falzprodukte 1 übernommen, gespeichert und zwecks Weiterverarbeitung unter Spreizung der Falzprodukthälften wieder geöffnet werden können, wobei kein Überfalz erforderlich ist, was eine wesentliche Papiereinsparung bedeutet, da bekanntlich der Überfalz in einem späteren separaten Arbeitsgang abgetrennt wird.The preceding explanations show how folded products 1 can be advantageously taken over, stored and opened again for further processing by spreading the folded product halves, no overlap being necessary, which means a substantial saving in paper, since it is known that the overlap is separated in a later separate operation.

Im vorangehenden Ausführungsbeispiel wurde das Stahlband 18 bei den verschiedenen Arbeitsgängen jeweils um die Rollen 20, 26 geführt. Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist jedoch eine Umlenkung zwecks Aufnahme und Abgabe der Falzprodukte 1 auch an Krümmungen möglich, die lediglich so beschaffen sein müssen, daß die eine Greiferfunktion ausübenden Haltebleche 19 sich öffnen. In äquivalenter Weise ist auch eine andere Ausbildung der Haltebleche 19 im Rahmen der Erfindung möglich, beispielsweise in Form von gesteuerten Greifern.In the previous exemplary embodiment, the steel strip 18 was guided around the rollers 20, 26 in the various work steps. Within the scope of the invention, however, a deflection for the purpose of receiving and delivering the folded products 1 is also possible on curvatures which only have to be such that the holding plates 19 which perform a gripper function open. In an equivalent manner, another design of the holding plates 19 is also possible within the scope of the invention, for example in the form of controlled grippers.
