Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for adjusting the position of a folding stop arranged in a translatable manner on a guide plate of a document to be folded.
  • This device is in particular intended for adjusting the folding dimensions in a folder with two pockets.
  • a pocket folder is described in French patent application 90 13580.
  • Such a folder comprises an upper pocket intended for the production of the first fold and a lower pocket intended for production of the second fold.
  • Each pocket has a fixed plate and a movable plate.
  • the mobile plates each support an adjustable stop by translation along each pocket to choose the position or first and second fold on the document.
  • Such a folder is intended to be completed with a mechanism for insertion into an envelope and for closing the envelope.
  • a device for adjusting the position of a folding stop which comprises an actuating device and a device for transmitting the displacement of the actuating device to the stop consisting of '' a looped cable engaging pulleys, a straight part of the cable being parallel to a lateral edge of a guide plate of a document to be folded and connected to the stop and another part of the cable being connected to the actuating device .
  • the actuating device consists of a shaft arranged parallel to the front edge of the plate and which drives, by rotation, one of the pulleys. Thumbwheels are provided at the ends of the shaft to allow it to be rotated.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a device for adjusting the position of the stops in a pocket folder which is particularly practical and reliable for access and maneuverability.
  • the invention relates to a device as defined by claim 1.
  • the adjustment device comprises an actuation device and a device for transmitting the displacement of the actuation device to the stop, consisting of a cable in the mouth kept stretched by three pulleys carried by the plate , a straight part of the cable being parallel to the lateral edge of the plate and connected to the stop and another straight part of the cable being connected to the actuating device.
  • the actuating device is arranged on a fixed shelf with respect to the plate and arranged parallel to the front edge of the plate, manual folding adjustment is possible, the tablet (s) being particularly visible and accessible at the opening of the folder.
  • the actuating device is a micro-motor connected to the cable, it is possible to carry out a motorized adjustment of the stop.
  • This micro-motor can be controlled directly from the machine keyboard and the adjustment does not require opening the machine.
  • the device according to the invention is in particular intended to equip a folding machine with two pockets as described in French patent application 90 13580.
  • the two actuating devices can be placed on a common shelf fixed relative to the two pocket plates and arranged parallel to the front edge of each plate.
  • Figure 1 shows a developed front view of the plates of two pockets of a folder each equipped with an adjustment device according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a section on II-II on a larger scale, the plates being shown according to their actual arrangement.
  • FIG. 3 represents a bottom view along III of the transmission device fitted to the plate of the upper pocket.
  • Figure 1 is a developed view, for better viewing, showing the lower plate 5 of the first pocket and the upper plate 22 of the second pocket of a folder. The actual arrangement of these plates 5 and 22 is shown in FIG. 2.
  • these two plates are laterally connected by two flanges 18, one of which is visible in Figure 2.
  • On these flanges 18 is fixed laterally a shelf 100 supporting the actuating device of the adjustment device 40 of the stop 4 of the first pocket and that of the adjustment device 60 of the stop 20 of the second pocket.
  • These two devices are of identical constitution.
  • the plates 5 and 22 may each be provided with their own shelf 100, one being fixed relative to the plate 5 and the other being fixed relative to plate 22.
  • Each stopper 4, 20 is slidably mounted on an axis 41, 61 fixed by its ends on the corresponding plate 5, 22.
  • the stopper 4, 20 protrudes by a plate on the active face of the plate 5, 22 through a slot arranged therein.
  • the stop 4, 20 is fixed to a cable 42, 62 in the mouth, its ends being connected to each other with a spring 43, 63 interposed in order to obtain a correct tension.
  • the cable 42, 62 is wound on three pulleys 44, 64 arranged so that part of the cable is parallel to the path of the stop, is parallel to the lateral edges of the plate and another part of the cable is parallel at the front edge of the plate and close to it.
  • the actuating device comprises a slide 45, 65.
  • the latter slides on an axis 46, 66 fixed to the plate, parallel to its front edge and close to it.
  • the slide 45, 65 is moreover guided by a protruding part 67 in a slot 48, 68 arranged in the shelf 100.
  • the slide 45, 65 has an internal part 69 which is articulated on the main part of the slide. This part 69 fits the axis 46, 66 under the action of a pressure screw 50, 70.
  • the device 40 is intended for adjusting the length of the first fold of the document and the device 60 for adjusting the length of the second fold of the document.
  • the abutment pins 51, 71 For each adjustment device, two preselections are possible thanks to the abutment pins 51, 71.
  • the two pins 51, 71 are adjusted before supplying the folder.
  • the user only has to move the slide 45, 65 so that it comes to abut on one or the other of the pins 51, 71.
  • the slide marker is brought to the desired position on the corresponding scale.
  • the displacement of the slide is done by loosening the pressure screw 50, 70, translation of the slide then tightening of the screw 50, 70, the articulated internal part, 69 then tightening the axis 46, 66 and blocking the slide.
  • the displacement of the slide 45, 65 to the right or the left causes a displacement towards the front or the rear of the corresponding stop 4, 20 and thus the reduction or the increase in the length of the fold corresponding to the document.
  • the manual actuation device described above can be replaced or supplemented by a motorized actuation device.
  • a micro-motor associated with a sensor is preferably installed on the plate. By an adequate mechanism the rotation of the motor is transformed into translation of the cable which transmits the displacement to the stop.
