Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a winding core for receiving printed products wound together with a winding tape under tension and a winding with a winding core having a hollow cylindrical winding body according to the preambles of claims 1 and 10.
  • the winding body has on its axial side edges a number of projections extending in the axial direction and recesses extending in the axial direction. Because the recesses are designed such that they can receive the protrusions of another winding core, the protrusions of a winding core projecting axially over the wound printed products engage in the recesses of the adjacent winding core in the case of tower-like stacking.
  • the printed products of a roll come to rest with their end faces on the roll underneath, which prevents the rolls from being destroyed by telescopic displacement of the printed products against one another.
  • winding cores according to the invention can also be stacked on top of one another in a tower-like manner, the extensions of one winding core in each case in the recesses of the adjacent one Intervene in the winding core.
  • Such a tower-like stacking of the winding cores requires extremely little space and is extremely stable, since the winding cores engage in one another like a claw coupling.
  • Fig. 1 shows three identical winding cores 10, which are stacked like a tower with the longitudinal axis 12 extending in the vertical direction.
  • Each winding core 10 has a hollow cylindrical winding body 14, the cylindrical outer surface of which is designated 16.
  • a winding tape 18 is fastened to the winding body 14 with one end, not shown, and is wound onto the outer surface 16 of the winding body 14.
  • the outer surface 16 is for wearing together with the one under tension Wrapping tape 18 provided on the winding core 10 printed products as is generally known.
  • the winding bodies 14 alternately have projections 22 or teeth and recesses 24 or gaps which extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12.
  • the recesses 24 are designed such that they can receive the corresponding projections 22 of the adjacent winding core 10.
  • the projections 22 of a winding body 14 each engage in the recesses 24 of the adjacent winding core (s) 10 in the manner of a claw coupling, which leads to an extremely stable tower of stacked winding cores 16 which can be transported without further stabilizing means.
  • the total tower height for a number of winding cores 10 is substantially smaller than the width B of the winding cores 10 measured in the longitudinal axis 12 multiplied by the number of winding cores 10 stacked on top of one another.
  • the projections 22 provided at regular intervals are molded onto the winding body 14 and have a profile-shaped cross section 26 (see FIG. 2), which means that the cross section of the projections 22 is approximately constant over their length in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12.
  • the circumferential width C of the projections 22 is less than the width D of the recesses 24, which corresponds to the distance between the projections 22.
  • the projections 22 have inclined surfaces 28 in the transition region between their free ends 22 ′ and the recesses 24, in order to facilitate mutual intermeshing of the projections 22 into the recesses 24. It is of course also conceivable for the projections 22 to be designed such that their thickness, viewed in the radial direction, decreases in the direction toward the free ends 22 ′.
  • the outer surface 16, to which the projections 22 also contribute is cylindrical, at least in the region in which the printed products come into contact.
  • the number of protrusions 22 is advantageously chosen such that the width D of the recesses 24 does not become too large, so that the printed products are also adequately supported in the region of the protrusions 22 and recesses 24.
  • the winding cores 10 When viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12, the winding cores 10 have a circumferential web 30 projecting from the winding body 14 in the radial direction towards the inside, on which bearing surfaces 32 are formed on the inner end region, around the winding core 10 for winding and unwinding the printed products a rotatable bearing arrangement, or to grip the winding core 10 for transport and handling by means of a corresponding device.
  • FIG. 2 shows a horizontal section along the line II-II of FIG. 1.
  • the projections 22 of the central winding core 10 of FIG. 1 protruding in the upward direction are not indicated by hatching in FIG. 2, whereas those in the recess 24 of this Protrusions 22 engaging the winding core 10 of the winding core 10 lying on top are hatched for the sake of clarity.
  • FIG. 3 shows an enlarged section of FIG. 1, the winding core 10 being designed differently in the region of the web 30.
  • the molded onto the winding body 14 Web 30 has the same thickness from the winding body 14 to the bearing surfaces 32.
  • a circumferential groove which is open towards the outside in the radial direction is denoted by 34 and engages in the winding body 14 and in the web 30.
  • the winding tape 18 is fastened with its one end, not shown, in the region of the circumferential groove 34 to the winding core 10 and wound onto the winding core 34 in the circumferential groove 34.
  • Each winding 38 has a winding core 10, as described in detail above, and schematically indicated printed products 40, such as newspapers, magazines or the like, are wound on the outer surface 16 of this winding core 10 in scale formation together with the winding tape 18 placed under tension.
  • the winding tape 18 is fastened at one end to the winding core 10 and is guided around the outermost layer of printed products 40 and lashed to hold the winding 38 together.
  • the width B of each winding core 10 from the free end 22 'of the projections 22 of one side edge 20 to the free end 22' of the projections 22 of the other side edge 20 ' is greater than the width E of the printed products 40
  • the designated part of each projection 22 thus protrudes in the axial direction on the end face over the coiled printed products 40.
  • the width E does not necessarily mean the width of an individual printed product 40, but if printed products 40 are wound offset with respect to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12, the entire dimension of all wound onto a winding core 10 Printed products 40 in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12 is to be understood. If the edges of the wound, essentially rectangular printed products 40 do not run parallel or at right angles to the longitudinal axis 12, the width E is to be understood as the distance between the lateral corners of the printed products 40 measured in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12.
  • the length, measured in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12, of the part 42 of the protrusions 22 projecting beyond the wound printed products 40 is designated by F.
  • this length F is at most the same size, but preferably less than the length G, measured in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12, of the portion 44 of the recesses 24 covered by the printed products 40. This ensures that the printed products 40 of a roll 38 are on the end face the printed products 40 of the adjacent roll 38 come to rest when the rolls 38 are stacked.
  • a disk-shaped support ring 46 is provided, the thickness of which, measured in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12, is greater than the length F of the projections 22 projecting with its part 42 over the wound printed products 40.
  • the printed products 40 of the lowermost roll 38 are thus on the support ring 46 on, which ensures the retention of the shape of the winding 38 even when shaken during transport. It is of course also conceivable to make a recess in the pallet 36 into which the projections 22 of the lowermost winding core 10 engage. In this case, a support ring 46 can be omitted or can be made thinner.
  • Windings 38 stacked on top of one another in a tower-like manner with winding cores 10 according to the invention are thus secured against sliding against one another during transport and also against sliding relative to the pallet 36.
  • Winding cores 10 according to the invention can of course also be used to wind up printed products 40 whose width E is equal to or greater than the width B of the winding cores 10. In this case, the projections 22 in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12 do not protrude beyond the wound printed products 40.
  • printed products 40 of narrow width E can also be wound onto a winding core 10 according to the invention. In this case, stacking of the coils 38 may only be possible by inserting a support disk between the coils 38 to support the coiled printed products 40.
  • the winding cores 10 according to the invention still have the advantage that they can be stacked on top of one another in a space-saving manner in a tower-like manner, without being wound up, and thus transported in a stabilized manner.
  • a winding core 10 according to the invention thus allows formations of different widths E to be wound up. The number of different winding cores can thus be reduced to a minimum.
  • the projections and recesses can of course also be designed differently from what is shown in the figures. It is conceivable, for example, to design the side edges of the winding body in a zigzag shape.
  • one end of the winding tape does not have to be firmly attached to the winding core 10, it is also possible to attach this releasably to the winding core 10.
  • the web can also be designed differently or several webs can be provided, or it is also possible to omit the web or to replace it with a different type of bearing element in order to rotatably support the empty winding core or the winding on a bearing arrangement.
