Definitions

  • the invention relates to a collator for collecting and storing signatures with a circumferential, first receiving device with a plurality of exceptions open to the outside, into which the individual signatures are inserted and from which they are combined to form a book block and delivered to a transport device with rear stops for each book block .
  • Signatures are book parts that in such a collator form complete book blocks, i.e. to be bound books.
  • the first receiving device is designed there as an impeller, the blades of which can be pivoted in a controlled manner.
  • a collator according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from document AT-B-322 498.
  • the object of the invention is to design it in such a way that the desired number of signatures can be collected with the collator for the book blocks. It should be explained that the number of signatures that form one of the book blocks generally fluctuates from order to order. The range of fluctuation lies often between seven and seventeen signatures for each book block.
  • the invention is characterized in that the first receiving device delivers the signatures to a second receiving device, which takes the signatures with the aid of compartments with rear stops from the receptacles of the first receiving device and delivers them to the transport device, with the two overlapping Recording devices the inclination of the first recording device is adjustable.
  • the rear stops of the second recording device take more or less of the signatures in the recordings of the first recording device and thus combine them to form the book blocks, which are then stored on the transport device and occasionally further be transported.
  • the height of the rear stops of the second receiving device can be adjustable, which creates a further parameter with which the object of the invention is achieved.
  • the conveying speeds of a separator upstream of the first pick-up device, the first pick-up device itself and / or the second pick-up device can also be adjustable, which also promotes the solution of the task of the invention.
  • the three parameters mentioned are preferably all increased or decreased by the same proportions.
  • the first receiving device For the adjustment of the first receiving device it is provided in a structurally simple manner that it is guided over an upper, a middle and a lower roller, of which the lower roller is laterally adjustable. Depending on the degree of lateral adjustment of the lower roll, more or less the signature is collected to the book blocks and transported on.
  • the transport of the signatures in the collator is particularly precise and trouble-free if the receptacles of the first receiving device are designed as horizontal compartments at least in the area in which they are loaded with the signatures, because the signatures are then inserted into the compartments in the horizontal direction and can be taken from them.
  • the compartments can also form an acute angle with the horizontal, which has the advantage that the signatures easily get into the bottom of the compartments by means of gravity.
  • the bottoms of the compartments of the second receiving device are also aligned horizontally, although this is also not mandatory.
  • the book blocks can thus be precisely aligned at high working speeds.
  • the collator is characterized by a noticeable increase in performance compared to known collators.
  • the signatures are slowed down after leaving the conveyor system of the upstream singler. A defined number of signatures are collected in the correct order for the book block. There is an exact switchover after reaching the predetermined number of pages to the next book block.
  • the book block is placed securely on the conveyor belt system that leads to the binding road.
  • a strand package 2 arriving in the direction of arrow 1 runs to a cross cutter 3, where it is cross-cut into signatures 4.
  • a separator 5 is provided behind the cross cutter 3 and consists of a pair of belts 6, 6, which transport the signatures 4 at an increased speed and thereby separate them.
  • the signatures 4 reach a first receiving device for the signatures, indicated as a whole at item 7.
  • This is designed as an elongated conveyor with a conveyor belt 8, which is placed around an upper roller 9, a middle roller 10 and a lower roller 11.
  • a large number of receptacles 12 are fastened to the conveyor belt, in each of which one of the signatures 4 is inserted.
  • the receptacles can be designed as in the above-described patent specification 37 25 225, i.e. they consist of side rods that leave space between them for gripping stops 13 of a second receiving device 14.
  • the second receiving device 14 is also designed as an elongated conveyor with a conveyor belt 15 which runs around rollers 16.
  • the rear stops 13 are supplemented by shelves 17 to compartments.
  • the separated signatures 4 are inserted individually into the receptacles 12 of the first receptacle device 7, from which they pass through the compartments 13, 17 of the second Receiving device 14 collected to book blocks can be removed and transported further.
  • the example of FIG. 1 shows that five of the signatures 4 are combined into one of the book blocks 18.
  • the number of signatures that make up a book block is determined by the height of the stops 13.
  • the book blocks 18 are then placed on a transport device 19 which is designed as a conveyor belt 20 with rear stops 21 for each of the book blocks.
  • a so-called pin transport chain is preferably used, as is also described in the aforementioned German patent.
  • the inclination of the lower part of the first receiving device 7 can be adjusted. This is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, which show two different positions of the lower roller 11. As a result, the distance between the recordings 12 measured in the vertical direction is more or less shortened, so that the stops 13 collect more signatures to form a book block.
  • FIGS. 4 to 6 This is also shown schematically in FIGS. 4 to 6, where the stop 13 - here with a constant height - is indicated.
  • the stop 13 - here with a constant height - is indicated.
  • five of the signatures are collected from a compartment 13, 17, in FIG. 5 these are six of the signatures and in FIG. 6 there are eight signatures.
  • the first receiving device 7 is coupled to the cycle of the cross cutter 3 such that each signature 4 is inserted into one of the receptacles 12.
  • the inclination of the first receiving device is changed so that the stops 13 - the height of which can also be adjustable - always take the desired amount of signatures with them.
  • the second receiving device therefore takes on the function of a collecting device; it can have a constant speed.
  • the speed of the receiving and transport devices 7, 14 is the same, thereby preventing the signatures from being pinched and squeezed.
  • the collecting process is quiet and clean, since the horizontal speed component between the devices 7, 14 is small, with which the signatures are pushed out of the receptacles 12 (pockets).
