Abstract

The invention relates to a device for collecting and turning signatures for forming complete part book blocks. For the purpose of dispensing with an otherwise required separate turning apparatus, the device according to the invention has two identical fan wheels situated horizontally next to one another whose centre lines run parallel to one another and which are driven at the same speed in mutually opposite directions of rotation in such a way that the receiving compartments move downwards towards the despatch conveyor from the discharge station of the signatures, firstly in the direction of the receiving position and then in the direction of the point between the two paddle wheels. The receiving compartments of the two fan wheels are offset relative to one another in the circumferential direction in such a way that, in their mutually facing regions, and as seen in the circumferential direction, each paddle of the one fan wheel protrudes approximately into the centre of a receiving compartment of the other fan wheel. Provided behind the transverse cutting device, as a deflector, is a switchable tongue by means of which the signatures are optionally passed on to one of two conveyors having pairs of belts, each of these conveyors leading to the beginning receiving position of a receiving compartment of one of the two fan wheels. When two different part book blocks are placed one on the other in the collecting cycle, this tongue is switched from its one position to its other position. The despatch conveyor runs in the centre between the two fan wheels parallel to the axes of rotation of the two fan wheels and during the deposition is in the rest position. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Sammeln von Signaturen, die rollenverarbeitet von einem Bahnstrang quergeschnitten ankommen, und zum Ablegen der aus den Signaturen gesammelten Teil-Buchblocks auf eine Fördereinrichtung, und gewünschtenfalls zusätzlich auch zum Aufeinanderlegen von zwei unterschiedlichen Teil-Buchblocks aus den so gesammelten Signaturen.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, also for stacking two different partial book blocks from the signatures thus collected .

Zum Sammeln und Ablegen von Signaturen ist aus der DE-PS 37 25 225 eine Vorrichtung bekannt, bei der die Signaturen in aus Flügeln eines im Sammeltakt angetriebenen Flügelrads gebildeten Aufnahmefächern sammelbar und aus ihnen auf eine Abfördereinrichtung ausschiebbar sind, wobei der Signaturtakt ein ganzzahliges Vielfaches des Sammeltaktes beträgt. Bei dieser Vorrichtung sind die Flügel an einer Nabe des Flügelrads achsparallel zur Flügelradachse schwenkbar gelagert, und bei gleichförmiger Bewegung der Nabe erfolgt die Schwenkung des zu beladenden Flügels periodisch im Sammeltakt, mit einer Phase langsamer Bewegung im Sammelwinkelbereich und anschließend schneller bis zur Anschiebestellung und wieder zurück in die Anfangsaufnahmeposition. Mit einer solchen Vorrichtung kann man nur Signaturen sammeln und ablegen. Wenn man nun aber, wie dies bei vielen Buchdruckverfahren der Fall ist, abwechselnd zwei unterschiedliche Teil-Buchblocks aus den so gesammelten Signaturen, die Hälfte also gewendet, aufeinander legen muß, um zu einem kompletten Buchblock zu gelangen, aus dem dann durch Längszerschneiden zwei komplette Bücher entstehen, dann bedarf es einer dieser Signaturen-Sammelvorrichtung nachgeordneten gesonderten Wendevorrichtung, z.B. nach der DE-PS 37 12 387, die meistens einen nicht unerheblichen weiteren Bauaufwand für die gesamte Anlage und in jedem Falle zusätzlichen Raumaufwand bedingt.DE-PS 37 25 225 discloses a device 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. In this device, 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. But if, as is the case with many letterpress printing processes, you now alternate two different partial book blocks from those collected in this way Signatures, that is half turned, must be placed on top of each other in order to arrive at a complete book block, from which two complete books are then created by longitudinal cutting, then a separate turning device downstream of this signature collecting device is required, e.g. according to DE-PS 37 12 387 , which usually requires a not inconsiderable further construction effort for the entire system and in any case additional space expenditure.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, die eingangs geschilderte Signaturen-Sammelvorrichtung derart weiter auszubilden oder zu ergänzen, daß man sie, wenn gewünscht, auch zusätzlich zum Aufeinanderlegen von zwei unterschiedlichen, also relativ zueinander gewendeten, Teil-Buchblocks, mit Wendung eines Teils derselben, verwenden kann.It is therefore an object of the invention to further develop or supplement the above-described signature collecting device in such a way that, if desired, it can also be used to superimpose two different, that is to say mutually turned, partial book blocks, with a part of the same being turned, can use.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß

  • a) zwei gleiche Flügelräder horizontal nebeneinander klappsymmetrisch zu der vertikalen Mittelebene, in der die Signaturen hinter der Querschneidvorrichtung nach unten geführt und abgeworfen werden, vorgesehen sind, deren Mittellinien parallel zueinander verlaufen und die in einander entgegengesetzten Drehrichtungen mit derselben Drehzahl angetrieben werden derart, daß sich die Aufnahmefächer von der Abwurfstelle der Signaturen zuerst in Richtung auf die Aufnahmestellung und dann in Richtung auf die Stelle zwischen den beiden Flügelrädern nach unten zur Abfördereinrichtung bewegen,
  • b) wobei die Aufnahmefächer der beiden Flügelräder derart in Umfangsrichtung zueinander versetzt sind, daß in ihren einander zugekehrten Bereichen jeder Flügel des einen Flügelrads in Umfangsrichtung gesehen etwa in die Mitte eines Auffangfachs des anderen Flügelrads hineinragt,
  • c) hinter der Querschneidvorrichtung eine umstellbare Zunge als Weiche vorgesehen ist, durch die die Signaturen wahlweise einer von zwei Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtungen zugeleitet werden, deren jede zur Anfangsaufnahmeposition eines Aufnahmefachs eines der beiden Flügelräder führt, wobei die Zunge bei Aufeinanderlegen zweier unterschiedlicher Teil-Buchblocks im Sammeltakt von ihrer einen in ihre andere Stellung umgeschaltet wird und die Anzahl der Signaturen, nach der die Umschaltung der Zunge erfolgt, verstellbar ist,
  • d) die Abfördereinrichtung in der Mitte zwischen den beiden Flügelrädern parallel zu den Drehachsen der beiden Flügelräder läuft und während der Ablage in Ruhestellung ist.
This object is achieved according to the invention in that
  • a) Two identical impellers horizontally side by side, symmetrical to the vertical center plane, in which the signatures are guided downwards and thrown off behind the cross-cutting device, are provided, the center lines of which run parallel to one another and the mutually opposite directions of rotation are driven in such a way that move the receiving compartments downwards from the ejection point of the signatures towards the receiving position and then towards the location between the two impellers to the removal device,
  • b) wherein the receiving compartments of the two impellers are offset from one another in the circumferential direction such that, in their mutually facing regions, each wing of one impeller protrudes in the circumferential direction approximately into the center of a collecting compartment of the other impeller,
  • c) behind the cross-cutting device, a switchable tongue is provided as a switch, through which the signatures are optionally fed to one of two belt pair conveyors, each of which leads to the initial receiving position of a receiving compartment of one of the two impellers, the tongue when two different partial book blocks are placed on top of one another Collective cycle is switched from one position to the other and the number of signatures after which the tongue is switched is adjustable,
  • d) the discharge device runs in the middle between the two impellers parallel to the axes of rotation of the two impellers and is at rest during storage.

Wenn man die Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung nur als reine Sammelvorrichtung betreiben will, wie es z.B. der Arbeitsweise der Vorrichtung nach der schon erwähnten DE-PS 37 25 225 entspricht, dann bleibt die Zunge fest eingestellt, es wird nur ein Flügelrad mit Signaturen beliefert, und dieses Flügelrad legt nacheinander Teil-Buchblocks auf der Abfördereinrichtung ab. Die Wirkungsweise ist dann also genau die gleiche wie bei dieser bekannten Sammelvorrichtung. Wenn man aber unterschiedliche Teil-Buchblocks aufeinander legen will, dann wird die als Weiche dienende Zunge im Sammeltakt umgeschaltet, so daß jeweils eine erste Gruppe von Signaturen in dem einen Flügelrad und eine andere Gruppe von (anderen) Signaturen in dem zweiten Flügelrad gesammelt wird. Es wird dann jeweils ein von dem einen Flügelrad gesammelten Teil-Buchblock auf der zu diesem Zeitpunkt in Ruhestellung befindlichen Abfördereinrichtung abgelegt und der andere Teil-Buchblock von dem anderen Flügelrad wird dann auf diesen ersten Teil-Buchblock aufgelegt, so daß sich auf der Abfördereinrichtung nunmehr ein kompletter Buchblock befindet, der beispielsweise zweckmäßigerweise so gestaltet sein kann, daß er sämtliche Seiten eines Buches zweimal nebeneinander in der richtigen Reihenfolge enthält und nach Längsdurchschneiden des Buchblocks zwei komplette Bücher entstehen.If you want to operate the device according to the invention only as a pure collecting device, such as corresponds to the operation of the device according to the already mentioned DE-PS 37 25 225, then 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.

Es ist verständlich, daß durch die Hinzunahme eines zweiten Flügelrads, das genau gleich ausgebildet ist wie das erste, durch den Einbau einer als Weiche dienenden Zunge und durch andersartige Ausrichtung der Abfördereinrichtung kein sehr großer Mehraufwand bedingt wird; jedenfalls ist dieser Mehraufwand, insbesondere auch in räumlicher Beziehung, in jedem Falle wesentlich geringer als dann, wenn man zum Aufeinanderlegen zweier aufeinanderfolgender, unterschiedlicher Teil-Buchblocks eine gesondere Spezial-Wendevorrichtung vorsehen muß.It is understandable that the addition of a second impeller, which is of exactly the same design as the first, by the installation of a tongue serving as a switch and by a different orientation of the discharge device, does not result in very great additional expenditure; in any case, this additional effort, especially in spatial relation, is in any case much less than if a special special turning device has to be provided for stacking two successive, different partial book blocks.

Die Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung wird zweckmäßig derart ausgebildet, daß sich die beiden Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtungen je aus zwei aneinander anschließenden Bandpaaren zusammensetzen, deren oberes geringfügig schneller läuft als der Signaturen-Bandstrang, während das zweite Bandpaar wesentlich langsamer, etwa mit halber Geschwindigkeit wie das obere Bandpaar, läuft, so daß zwischen den beiden Bandpaaren eine Verzögerung der Signaturen-Geschwindigkeit und eine Überlappung (Schuppenbildung) der Signaturen übereinander hervorgerufen wird. Der etwas schnellere Lauf des oberen Bandpaares hat den Zweck, in den Signaturenstrang kleine Lücken freizulassen, während derer dann die Umschaltung der als Weiche dienenden Zunge erfolgen kann. Die Verzögerung jeder Signatur durch das untere Band hat zwei Gründe. Einmal erleichtert die Überlappung der aufeinanderfolgenden Signaturen deren Einführung und Hineingleiten in die Aufnahmefächer der Flügelräder, weil sie auf diese Weise gewissermaßen wie auf einer schiefen Ebene ohne Unterbrechung nach unten gleiten können. Zum anderen hat aber die Verzögerung der bei den heute sehr schnell laufenden Buchdruckmaschinen auch sehr schnell herankommenden Signaturen den Vorteil, daß diese mit wesentlich geringerer Wucht auf die Innenseite des Aufnahmefachs aufprallen, so daß die Gefahr von Beschädigungen der Signaturen an diesen vorlaufenden Kanten in starkem Maße herabgesetzt wird.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. On the one hand, 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. On the other hand, the delay in the signatures that are very quickly approaching in today's fast-moving letterpress printing machines has the advantage that they hit the inside of the receiving compartment with considerably less force, so that the risk of damage to the signatures on these leading edges is greatly affected is reduced.

Es ist zweckmäßig, daß zwischen der Ausschiebestellung jedes Flügelrads und der Ablegestelle auf der Abfördereinrichtung beiderseits des Teil-Buchstapels* für die Führung dieser abzulegenden Teil-Buchstapel auf diesem Wege vorgesehen ist, um ein genaues, der Ausrichtung im Flügelrad entsprechendes Übertragen des Teil-Buchblocks zu erreichen und auch die Knitterbildung einzelner Signaturen auf diesem Wege zu verhindern.
* eine feststehende Führung
It is expedient that between the extended position of each impeller and the storage location on the discharge device on both sides of the partial book stack * is provided for guiding this partial book stack to be deposited in this way in order to transmit the partial book block in a manner corresponding to the orientation in the impeller to achieve and also prevent the creasing of individual signatures in this way.

Die als Beispiel in Fig. 1 dargestellten Signaturen sind folgendermaßen ausgebildet: Einmal ist jede Signatur 1-4 einmal in Querrichtung gefalzt, wobei bei der dargestellten Stirnansicht die Falzlinien hinter der Zeichenebene liegen, und andererseits sind nebeneinander zwei Buchseitenhöhen in jeder Signatur enthalten. Wenn man also nach erfolgter Fertig-Stapelung eines kompletten Buchblocks 6 aus zwei Teil-Buchblocks 7 und 8 diesen entlang der Schnittlinie 5 zerschneidet, dann erhält man zwei komplette Bücher. Die verschiedenen Signaturen 1-4 sind, wie erkennbar, einmal in aufsteigender Reihenfolge und anschließend in absteigender Reihenfolge von 4-1 angeordnet; die Seitenzahlen auf den einzelnen Blättern sind eingezeichnet. Jede Signatur enthält also insgesamt vier Seiten, das fertige Buch hat 32 Seiten. Selbstverständlich sind bei den einzelnen Signaturen bei deren Verlassen der Buchdruck- oder Falzeinrichtung die beiden Schichten nicht in einem Abstand voneinander angeordnet, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, sondern liegen platt und flach aufeinander, so daß sie sich bei der weiteren Verarbeitung in der dargestellten Vorrichtung wie ein einziges Blatt verhalten. Sie sind nur zum Zwecke der Eintragung der Seitenzahlen im Abstand voneinander gezeichnet.- Es ist ersichtlich, daß links der späteren Schnittlinie 5 die Seiten 1-32 von oben nach unten aufeinanderfolgen, rechts der Schnittlinie 5 dagegen von unten nach oben. Nach dem Schneiden entstehen also zwei komplette Bücher.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 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. Of course, when the individual signatures leave the letterpress or folding device, 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.

Zu der nun folgenden Beschreibung der Fig. 2 bis 18 sind die Bezugsziffern in der Hauptsache in die Fig. 2 und 3, nicht aber in alle anderen Figuren eingetragen, sondern nur in soweit, als sie zur Beschreibung dieser einzelnen betreffenden Figur erforderlich sind.In the description of FIGS. 2 to 18 that follows, the reference numbers are mainly entered in FIGS. 2 and 3, but not in all the other figures, but only to the extent that they are required to describe this particular figure in question.

Das ankommende Strangpaket 9 läuft zu einer Schneidvorrichtung 10, wo es zu Einzel-Signaturen quergeschnitten wird. Hinter der Quer-Schneidvorrichtung 10 befindet sich eine als Weiche dienende umstellbare Zunge 11, deren Umschaltung von ihrer einen in ihre andere Stellung nach einer vorwählbaren Anzahl von Signaturen erfolgt. Diese Zunge bewirkt die Zuleitung jeder Signatur wahlweise zu einer von zwei Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtungen, deren linke mit 12 und deren rechte mit 13 bezeichnet ist. Die linke Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 12 führt zu einem linken Flügelrad 14, die rechte Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 13 führt zu einem rechts liegenden Flügelrad 15. Jedes der beiden Flügelräder 14 und 15 weist Flügel 16 auf, die einzelne Aufnahmefächer 17 bilden, in den das Sammeln der Signaturen erfolgt und aus denen die gebildeten Teil-Buchblocks auf eine Abfördereinrichtung ausschiebbar sind, die weiter unten beschrieben werden soll. Der Signaturtakt ist ein ganzzahliges Vielfaches des Sammeltakts. Die Flügel 16 sind an einer Nabe 18 jedes Flügelrads achsparallel zur Flügelradachse schwenkbar gelagert, wobei bei gleichförmiger Bewegung der Nabe 18 die Schwenkung des zu beladenden Flügels 16 periodisch im Sammeltakt mit einer Phase langsamer Bewegung im Sammelwinkelbereich und anschließend schneller bis zur Ausschiebestellung und wieder zurück bis in die Anfangsaufnahmeposition gesteuert wird, beispielsweise durch geeignete Nocken.The incoming strand package 9 runs to a cutting device 10, where it is cross-cut into individual signatures. Behind the transverse cutting device 10 is 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.

Wie dargestellt, sind zwei gleiche Flügelräder 14 und 15 horizontal nebeneinander klappsymmetrisch zu der vertikalen Mittelebene, in der die Signaturen hinter der Querschneidvorrichtung 10 nach unten geführt und abgeworfen werden, vorgesehen, deren Mittellinien parallel zueinander verlaufen und die in einander entgegengesetzten Drehrichtungen, wie z.B. in Fig. 3 durch Pfeile angedeutet, mit derselben Drehzahl angetrieben werden derart, daß sich die Aufnahmefächer 17 von der Abwurfstelle der Signaturen zuerst in Richtung auf die Aufnahmestellung und dann in Richtung auf die Stelle zwischen den beiden Flügelrädern nach unten zur Abfördereinrichtung bewegen. Die Aufnahmefächer 17 der beiden Flügelräder 14 und 15 sind derart in Umfangsrichtung zueinander versetzt, daß, wie aus der Zeichnung klar ersichtlich, in ihrem einander zugekehrten Bereich jeder Flügel 16 des einen Flügelrads in Umfangsrichtung gesehen etwa in die Mitte des Aufnahmefachs 17 des anderen Flügelrads hineinragt.As shown, 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 .

Die Abfördereinrichtung 19 läuft in der Mitte zwischen den beiden Flügelrädern 14 und 15 parallel zu den Drehachsen dieser beiden Flügelräder und ist so ausgebildet, daß sie während der Ablage sowohl aus dem Flügelrad 14 als auch aus dem Flügelrad 15 in Ruhestellung ist.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.

Jede der beiden Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtungen 12 und 13 setzt sich aus zwei aneinander anschließenden Bandpaaren zusammen, wobei das obere Bandpaar der Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 12 mit 20, dessen unteres Bandpaar mit 21, das obere Bandpaar der rechten Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 13 mit 22 und das dazugehörige untere Bandpaar mit 23 bezeichnet ist. Die beiden oberen Bandpaare 20 und 22 laufen geringfügig schneller als der Signaturenbandstrang, um zwischen den einzelnen Signaturen kleine Lücken zu bilden, während deren Durchlaufs die Umschaltung der Zunge 11 unbehindert erfolgen kann. Das jeweils untere Bandpaar 21 und 23 läuft wesentlich langsamer, etwa mit halber Geschwindigkeit, wie das obere Bandpaar 20 bzw. 22, so daß zwischen den beiden Bandpaaren 20, 21 einerseits und 22, 23 andererseits eine Überlappung (Schuppenbildung) der Signaturen übereinander hervorgerufen wird.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 .

Zwischen der Ausschiebestellung jedes Flügelrads 14 bzw. 15 und der Ablegestelle auf der Abfördereinrichtung 19 ist beiderseits eine feststehende Führung 24 für die abzulegenden Teil-Buchstapel auf diesem Wege vorgesehen.Between the extended position of each impeller 14 or 15 and the storage location on the discharge device 19, a fixed guide 24 is provided on both sides for the partial book stack to be deposited in this way.

Die Arbeitsweise des dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels einer Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung ist folgendermaßen:
Fig. 2 zeigt im Endergebnis, wie auf der Abfördereinrichtung 19 abwechselnd Teil-Buchblocks 7 und 8 von dem linken bzw. von dem rechten Flügelrad 14 bzw. 15 auf der Abfördereinrichtung 19 abgelegt werden. Dadurch, daß diese beiden Arten von Teil-Buchblocks von verschiedenen Seiten her auf der Abfördereinrichtung 19 abgelegt werden,ist jeweils der eine Teil-Buchblock 7 gegenüber dem anderen Teil-Buchblock 8 , und umgekehrt, gewendet, und zwar um eine senkrecht zur Signaturebene durch die Signaturmitte hindurch gehende gedachte Achse um 180° gewendet.
The mode of operation of the illustrated embodiment of a device according to the invention is as follows:
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 °.

In der Stellung nach Fig.3 wird gerade die erste Signatur 7 in die Vorrichtung eingeführt, und zwar, weil die obere Spitze der Zunge 11 nach rechts weist, in die linke Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 12 und somit dem linken Flügelrad 14 zugeleitet. Diese erste Signatur ist als dicker, durchgehender Strich gezeichnet. Das wird später die (sh. Fig.1) unterste Signatur 1 des Teil-Buchblocks und ist deshalb auch mit 1 bezeichnet.In the position according to FIG. 3, 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.

In Fig. 4 hat diese erste Signatur 1 bereits etwa das untere Ende der linken Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 12 erreicht, und die zweite Signatur 2 hat das Ende des oberen Bandpaars 20 der linken Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 12 erreicht. Diese zweite Signatur 2 ist in gestrichelten Linien ------ dargestellt.In Fig. 4, 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 ------.

In Fig. 5 ist die erste Signatur 1 infolge der wesentlich geringeren Bandgeschwindigkeit des unteren Bandpaares 21 der linken Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 12 nur etwas weitergekommen, die zweite Signatur 2 dagegen erheblich weiter, und zwar derart, daß an der Übergangsstelle zwischen dem oberen Bandpaar 20 und dem unteren Bandpaar 21 der Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 12 das vordere Ende der Signatur 2 das hintere Ende der Signatur 1 bereits geringfügig überlappt.In Fig. 5, 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.

In Fig. 6 überlappt, aus dem gleichen Grunde, die zweite Signatur 2 die erste Signatur 1 um eine wesentlich größeres Maß, und die erste Signatur 1 beginnt, in das Aufnahmefach 17 des linken Flügelrads 14 hineinzugleiten. Die dritte Signatur 3, die in Strich-Punkt-Strich-Linie - . - . - . gezeigt ist, befindet sich jetzt im oberen Bandpaar 20 der linken Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 12.In Fig. 6, for the same reason, 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.

In Fig. 7 ist die erste Signatur 1 ganz in das Aufnahmefach 17 hineingeglitten, die zweite Signatur 2, mit durch die erste Signatur 1 geführt, etwa zur Hälfte. Die dritte Signatur 3 befindet sich im unteren Bandpaar 21 der linken Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 12, und die vierte Signatur, die in - x - x - gezeigt ist, befindet sich noch in dem oberen Bandpaar 20.In Fig. 7, 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.

Nach Fig. 8 findet am Übergang zwischen dem oberen Bandpaar 20 und dem unteren Bandpaar 21 eine Überlappung zwischen den Signaturen 3 und 4 statt, die vorangehenden Signaturen haben sich entsprechend weiterbewegt.8 there is an overlap between the signatures 3 and 4 at the transition between the upper band pair 20 and the lower band pair 21, the preceding signatures have moved accordingly.

In Fig. 9 befinden sich die Signaturen 1, 2 und 3 bereits im Aufnahmefach 17, die Signatur 4 zwischen dem unteren Bandpaar 21.In Fig. 9, the signatures 1, 2 and 3 are already in the receiving compartment 17, the signature 4 between the lower pair of bands 21.

Nun ist ein Teil-Buchblock aus vier Signaturen gebildet, der in einem Aufnahmefach 17 des linken Flügelrads 14 liegt. Jetzt wird die Zunge 11 derart umgeschaltet, daß ihre obere Spitze nach links zu liegen kommt, und genau der gleiche Vorgang, wie vorgehend geschildert, wiederholt sich für das Sammeln von Signaturen 1 bis 4 in einem Aufnahmefach 17 des rechten Flügelrads 15. Dieser Vorgang wiederholt sich, für das rechte Flügelrad 15, entsprechend den Fig. 12 bis 14. Die letzte Signatur 4 befindet sich gerade auf dem Weg in das zugehörige Aufnahmefach 17.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

In Fig. 15 ist die Zunge 11 wieder umgeschaltet, so daß eine erneute Füllung des nächstfolgenden Aufnahmefachs 17 des linken Flügelrads 14 beginnt, die bis Fig. 18 weiterläuft. Inzwischen haben sich, wie die Fig. 17 und 18 zeigen, beide Flügelräder 14 und 15 mit jeweils einem gefüllten Aufnahmefach 17 in Uhrzeigerrichtung bzw. entgegen der Uhrzeigerrichtung nach unten verdreht und gelangen über die Zwischenstellung nach Fig. 17 (nacheinander) in die Ablegestellung auf der Abfördereinrichtung 19. Auf diese Weise werden zwei Teil-Buchblocks 7 und 8, relativ zueinander um 180° verdreht, d.h. also gewendet, auf der Abfördereinrichtung 19 abgelegt und anschließend senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene wegtransportiert, um Platz zur Ablage der nächsten Teil-Buchblocks 7 bzw. 8 zu schaffen.In FIG. 15, the tongue 11 is switched over again, so that a new filling of the next receiving compartment 17 of the left impeller 14 begins, which continues until FIG. 18. In the meantime, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, both impellers 14 and 15, each with a filled receiving compartment 17, have rotated downwards in the clockwise direction or counterclockwise direction and reach the storage position (one after the other) via the intermediate position in accordance with FIG The removal device 19. In this way, two partial book blocks 7 and 8, rotated relative to each other by 180 °, that is to say turned, are placed on the removal device 19 and then transported away perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing in order to provide space for storing the next partial book blocks 7 and 8 to create.

Die Vorrichtung kann natürlich auch so betrieben werden, daß jeweils zwei oder mehr Teil-Buchblocks 7 im linken Flügelrad 14 gesammelt und abgelegt und erst anschließend ein oder mehrere Teil-Buchblocks 8 im rechten Flügelrad 15 gesammelt und auf die vorher gesammelten Teil-Buchblocks 7 abgelegt werden.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.

Die Schuppenbildung der aufeinanderfolgenden Signaturen 1, 2, 3 und 4 an der Übergangsstelle zwischen dem oberen und unteren Bandpaar 20, 21 bzw. 22, 23 der linken und der rechten Bandpaar-Fördereinrichtung 12 bzw. 13 kann durch allgemein bekannte Mittel, die auch bei Druckmaschinen schon angewandt werden, wie z.B. bei Schuppenanlegern, erleichtert und gesichert werden. Derartige Mittel sind daher im vorliegenden Zusammenhang nicht beschrieben worden.The scaling of the successive signatures 1, 2, 3 and 4 at the transition point between the upper and lower pair of belts 20, 21 and 22, 23 of the left and right pair of conveyors 12 and 13 can be done by well-known means, also at Printing machines can already be used, such as with scale feeders, can be facilitated and secured. Such agents have therefore not been described in the present context.
