Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for collecting signatures that arrive cross-processed from a web strand, and for depositing the partial book blocks collected from the signatures onto a conveying device and, if desired, additionally for stacking two different partial book blocks from the signatures thus collected .
  • a device is known from DE-PS 37 25 225 for collecting and storing signatures, in which the signatures can be collected in receptacles formed from vanes of an impeller driven in the collective cycle and can be pushed out of them onto a removal device, the signature cycle being an integral multiple of that Collective clock is.
  • the vanes are pivotally mounted on a hub of the impeller axially parallel to the impeller axis, and when the hub moves uniformly, the wing to be loaded is pivoted periodically in the collecting cycle, with a phase of slow movement in the collecting angle area and then faster to the push-on position and back again in the initial recording position. With such a device, one can only collect and store signatures.
  • the tongue remains fixed, only one impeller is supplied with signatures, and this impeller successively places partial book blocks on the discharge device.
  • the mode of operation is then exactly the same as in this known collecting device. But if you want to put different partial book blocks on top of each other, then the tongue serving as a switch is switched in the collective cycle, so that a first group of signatures is collected in one impeller and another group of (other) signatures in the second impeller.
  • One partial book block collected by one impeller is then placed on the discharge device which is at rest at this time and the other partial book block from the other impeller is then placed on this first partial book block so that there is now a complete book block on the discharge device which, for example, can expediently be designed such that it contains all the pages of a book twice next to one another in the correct order and two complete books are produced after the book block has been cut lengthways.
  • the device according to the invention is expediently designed such that the two belt pair conveyors are each composed of two adjoining belt pairs, the upper one of which runs slightly faster than the signature tape strand, while the second pair of belts is considerably slower, approximately half the speed of the upper one Band pair runs, so that a delay in the signature speed and an overlap (scale formation) of the signatures over one another is caused between the two band pairs.
  • the purpose of the somewhat faster run of the upper pair of bands is to leave small gaps in the signature string, during which the tongue serving as a switch can then be switched.
  • the lower band delays each signature for two reasons.
  • the overlapping of the successive signatures facilitates their introduction and Slide into the slots of the impellers, because in this way they can slide down without interruption, as if on an inclined plane.
  • the signatures shown as an example in FIG. 1 are designed as follows: once each signature 1-4 is folded once in the transverse direction, the fold lines lying behind the plane of the drawing in the front view shown, and on the other hand two book page heights are contained next to each other in each signature. If, after the finished stacking of a complete book block 6 from two partial book blocks 7 and 8, the latter is cut along the cutting line 5, then two complete books are obtained. As can be seen, the various signatures 1-4 are arranged once in ascending order and then in descending order from 4-1; the page numbers on the individual sheets are shown. Each signature contains a total of four pages, the finished book has 32 pages.
  • the two layers are not arranged at a distance from one another, as shown in FIG. 1, but lie flat and flat on one another, so that they are further processed in the device shown behave like a single leaf. They are drawn at a distance from each other only for the purpose of entering the page numbers. that on the left of the later section line 5, the pages 1-32 follow one another from top to bottom, on the right of the section line 5, on the other hand, from bottom to top. After cutting, two complete books are created.
  • the incoming strand package 9 runs to a cutting device 10 where it is cross-cut into individual signatures.
  • a switchable tongue 11 serving as a switch, the switchover from one position to the other taking place according to a preselectable number of signatures.
  • This tongue causes the delivery of each signature either to one of two belt pair conveyors, the left one with 12 and the right one with 13.
  • the left band pair conveyor 12 leads to a left impeller 14, the right band pair conveyor 13 leads to a right-side impeller 15.
  • Each of the two impellers 14 and 15 has vanes 16 which form individual receiving compartments 17 in which the collection of the Signatures are made and from which the partial book blocks formed can be pushed out onto a removal device, which will be described further below.
  • the signature clock is an integer multiple of the collective clock.
  • the vanes 16 are pivotally mounted on a hub 18 of each impeller parallel to the axis of the impeller, with the uniform movement of the hub 18, the pivoting of the wing 16 to be loaded periodically in the collecting cycle with a phase of slow movement in the collecting angle area and then faster to the extended position and again back to the initial recording position is controlled, for example by suitable cams.
  • two identical impellers 14 and 15 are provided horizontally next to each other in a fold-symmetrical manner to the vertical center plane, in which the signatures are guided downwards and thrown off behind the cross-cutting device 10, the center lines of which run parallel to one another and the opposite directions of rotation, e.g. indicated by arrows in Fig. 3, driven at the same speed such that the receiving compartments 17 move from the ejection point of the signatures first towards the receiving position and then towards the location between the two impellers down to the discharge device.
  • the receiving compartments 17 of the two impellers 14 and 15 are offset from one another in the circumferential direction such that, as can clearly be seen from the drawing, in their mutually facing region each wing 16 of one impeller protrudes in the circumferential direction approximately into the center of the receiving compartment 17 of the other impeller .
  • the discharge device 19 runs in the middle between the two impellers 14 and 15 parallel to the axes of rotation of these two impellers and is designed so that it is at rest during storage from both the impeller 14 and the impeller 15.
  • Each of the two belt pair conveyors 12 and 13 is composed of two adjoining belt pairs, the upper belt pair of the belt pair conveyor 12 with 20, the lower belt pair with 21, the upper belt pair of the right belt pair conveyor 13 with 22 and the associated one lower pair of bands is designated 23.
  • the two upper belt pairs 20 and 22 run slightly faster than the signature tape strand in order to form small gaps between the individual signatures, during which the switching of the tongue 11 can take place without hindrance.
  • the respective lower band pair 21 and 23 runs much more slowly, at about half the speed, like the upper band pair 20 or 22, so that an overlap (scale formation) of the signatures over one another is caused between the two band pairs 20, 21 on the one hand and 22, 23 on the other hand .
  • a fixed guide 24 is provided on both sides for the partial book stack to be deposited in this way.
  • FIG. 2 shows in the end result how partial book blocks 7 and 8 of the left and right vane wheels 14 and 15 are alternately deposited on the discharge device 19 on the discharge device 19. Due to the fact that these two types of partial book blocks are deposited on the removal device 19 from different sides, one partial book block 7 is turned over in relation to the other partial book block 8, and vice versa, by one perpendicular to the signature plane the imaginary axis passing through the middle of the signature is turned by 180 °.
  • the first signature 7 is just being introduced into the device, specifically because the upper tip of the tongue 11 points to the right, is fed into the left belt pair conveyor 12 and thus to the left impeller 14.
  • This first signature is drawn as a thick, continuous line. This will later (see Fig. 1) lowest signature 1 of the partial book block and is therefore also designated 1.
  • this first signature 1 has already reached approximately the lower end of the left belt pair conveyor 12, and the second signature 2 has reached the end of the upper belt pair 20 of the left belt pair conveyor 12.
  • This second signature 2 is shown in dashed lines ------.
  • the first signature 1 has progressed only slightly due to the significantly lower belt speed of the lower belt pair 21 of the left belt pair conveyor 12, the second signature 2, however, considerably further, in such a way that at the transition point between the upper belt pair 20 and the lower pair of belts 21 of the pair of conveyors 12 the front end of the signature 2 already slightly overlaps the rear end of the signature 1.
  • the second signature 2 overlaps the first signature 1 by a much larger amount, and the first signature 1 begins to slide into the receiving compartment 17 of the left impeller 14.
  • the third signature 3, the dash-dot-dash line -. -. -. is now located in the upper pair of belts 20 of the left pair of belt conveyors 12.
  • the first signature 1 has slid completely into the receiving compartment 17, the second signature 2, guided through the first signature 1, approximately half.
  • the third signature 3 is located in the lower band pair 21 of the left band pair conveyor 12, and the fourth signature, which is shown in - x - x -, is still in the upper band pair 20.
  • a partial book block is now formed from four signatures and lies in a receiving compartment 17 of the left impeller 14. Now the tongue 11 is switched so that its upper tip comes to the left, and exactly the same process as described above is repeated for collecting signatures 1 to 4 in a storage compartment 17 of the right impeller 15. This process is repeated for the right impeller 15, corresponding to FIGS. 12 to 14. The last signature 4 is currently on the way into the associated receiving compartment 17th
  • the device can of course also be operated in such a way that two or more partial book blocks 7 are collected and stored in the left impeller 14 and only then are one or more partial book blocks 8 collected in the right impeller 15 and placed on the previously collected partial book blocks 7 will.
