Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum klebeartigen Beiheften von Beilagen gemäss Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for the adhesive-like addition of supplements according to the preamble of claim 1.

Zeitschriften werden bei ihrer Herstellung vermehrt mit Beilagen versehen, die beispielsweise als Karten, Rückantwortkarten, mehrseitige Beilagen oder Musterbeutel etc. an einer Seitenfläche von Druckprodukten bzw. Druckbogen meist durch Kleben befestigt werden.
Dieser Vorgang wird üblicherweise mit einem sog. Sammelhefter durchgeführt, dem ein auch als Kartenanleger bezeichnete Vorrichtung beispielsweise zwischen zwei bestimmten Druckbogenanlegern zugestellt wird.In the course of their manufacture, magazines are increasingly provided with inserts, which, for example as cards, reply cards, multi-page inserts or sample bags, etc., are usually attached to a side surface of printed products or printed sheets by gluing.
This process is usually carried out using a so-called saddle stitcher, to which a device also referred to as a card feeder is fed, for example between two specific printed sheet feeders.

Die Beilage durchläuft auf dem Weg an eine Seitenfläche eines Druckproduktes eine Klebstoffzuführstation und wird dabei in Laufrichtung am Rand mit einem Klebstoffstreifen versehen, bevor sie parallel zum Rücken des Trägerproduktes bzw. -bogens aufgeklebt wird.The insert passes through an adhesive feed station on the way to a side surface of a printed product and is provided with an adhesive strip in the running direction at the edge before it is glued parallel to the back of the carrier product or sheet.

Zu diesem Zweck werden sog. Kartenkleber verwendet, mit denen die Beilagen während dem Sammelvorgang im Innenteil oder auf dem Umschlag einer Broschüre aufgeklebt werden. Der Kartenkleber ist an beliebiger Stelle an der Sammelstrecke einsetzbar. Die zu verarbeitenden Produkte werden in ein Stapelmagazin gelegt und von dort wird jeweils das unterste Exemplar von einer Greifvorrichtung erfasst, anschliessend beleimt und danach auf das Trägerprodukt aufgepresst.
Dieses bekannte Prinzip wird bei Sammelheftern angewendet, deren Auflager für die Druckprodukte durch eine in Verarbeitungsrichtung sich erstreckende Sammelstrecke mit Mitnehmern ausgebildet ist. Anlagen dieser Art weisen ein Durchsatzvermögen an Druckprodukten von max. 20'000 Exemplaren pro Stunde auf.
Für grössere Leistungen bedarf es einer anderen Ausgestaltung des Sammelhefters, bei dem das Sammelorgan quer zur Förderrichtung der Druckprodukte an einem Zugorgan eines Förderers befestigte Auflager aufweist.For this purpose, so-called card glue is used, with which the inserts are glued during the collecting process in the inner part or on the cover of a brochure. The card adhesive can be used anywhere on the collection route. The products to be processed are placed in a stack magazine and from there the bottom copy is gripped by a gripping device, then glued and then pressed onto the carrier product.
This known principle is used in saddle stitchers whose supports for the printed products are formed by a collection section with drivers which extends in the processing direction. Systems of this type have a throughput capacity of print products of max. 20,000 copies per hour.
For larger outputs, a different design of the saddle stitcher is required, in which the collecting member has supports which are fastened to a pulling member of a conveyor transversely to the conveying direction of the printed products.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine Einrichtung zum klebeartigen Beiheften von Beilagen nach der eingangs beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, die eine grössere Durchsatzmenge in einem Sammelhefter gestattet.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for the adhesive-like attachment of supplements of the type described at the outset, which allows a larger throughput in a saddle stitcher.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe nach den Merkmalen im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved according to the features in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Mit dieser Konstruktion wird es möglich sein, einem höheren Arbeitstaktrhythmus zu folgen.With this construction, it will be possible to follow a higher work cycle rhythm.

Anschliessend ist die erfindungsgemässe Einrichtung anhand von zwei in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen erörtert. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1

The device according to the invention is then discussed on the basis of two exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing. Show it:

an alternative version.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen eine erfindungsgemässe Einrichtung 1 zum klebeartigen Beiheften von Beilagen wie Karten, Postkarten, Prospekten oder anderen Broschüren, Werbegeschenken oder in Beutel abgepackte Warenmuster innerhalb oder am Umschlag einer Zeitschrift, wozu jeweils eine frei aufliegende Seitenfläche eines bedruckten Bogens benutzt wird.Figures 1 and 2 show a device 1 according to the invention for the adhesive-like attachment of supplements such as cards, postcards, brochures or other brochures, giveaways or samples of goods packaged in bags inside or on the cover of a magazine, for which purpose a freely lying side surface of a printed sheet is used.

Fig. 1 veranschaulicht einen endlos umlaufenden Förderer 2 für Druckprodukte 3 im Bereich der Beschickung der Auflager 4, welche quer zur Förderrichtung an einem Zugorgan 5 befestigt sind. Die Beschickung der Druckprodukte erfolgt rittlingsweise durch wenigstens einen oberhalb der Auflager 4 vorgesehenen Druckprodukte-Anleger (nicht gezeigt), dem die Einrichtung 1 über den Auflagern 4 nachgeschaltet ist.
Die Einrichtung 1 besteht aus einer Klebstoffzuführstation 6 und einer dieser in Förderrichtung nachgeschalteten, die Beilagen 7 gegen die Auflager 4 fördernden Zuführvorrichtung 8.
Diese besitzt mehrere, um eine zur Förderrichtung der Druckprodukte 3 senkrechte Achse 9 umlaufende Mitnehmer 10, die die Beilagen 7 in jeweils einen ihnen zugeordneten Zwischenraum 11 der sich in Abständen folgenden Auflager 4 bzw. Druckprodukte 3 des Förderers 2 eintaucht. Die im Bereich der Übergabe der Beilage an den Förderer 2 gleichsinnig rotierenden Mitnehmer 10 bewegen sich auf einer Umlaufbahn, in welche eine einen Anleger 12 und die diesem nachgeschaltete Klebstoffzuführstation 6 verbindende Förderstrecke 13 der Beilagen 7 mündet. Gemäss Darstellung in Fig. 1 befindet sich die Klebstoffzuführstation 6 unmittelbar vor dem hinteren Ende der tangential an die Umlaufbahn der Mitnehmer 10 übergehenden Förderstrecke 13.
Um die Beilagen 7 jeweils störungsfrei übernehmen und wieder abgeben zu können, sind die Mitnehmer 10 innerhalb der Umlaufbahn um eine zur Umlaufachse 9 parallele Achse 14 angelenkt und können an der Übernahmestelle oder im Bereich der Beilagenabgabe an den Förderer 2 schwenkend gesteuert werden. Die etwa die Form eines Armes aufweisenden Mitnehmer 10 sind wenigstens an ihrem schwenkbaren Ende als Greifer ausgebildet. Die Greifer können die Beilagen 7 durch pneumatischen Unterdruck oder mechanisch erfassen, wobei sich die Stelle der Klebstoffzuführstation 6 hierzu besonders eignet. Nach der Übernahme der Beilagen 7 durch die Mitnehmer 10, werden sie von der Klebstoffzuführstation 6 entfernt auf dem Weg zur Übergabestelle des Förderers 2 um etwa 270° in eine etwa senkrechte Lage gewendet und an eine Seitenfläche eines aufliegenden Druckproduktes 3 gepresst. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Abstand zwischen Zuführvorrichtung und Förderer 2 verstellbar ausgebildet, sodass die Lage der Beilage 7 an den Druckprodukten 3 wahlweise bestimmbar ist.
An der Mündung der Förderstrecke 13 in die Umlaufbahn ist eine zur Klebstoffübertragung geeignete Führung oder Auflage für die Druckprodukte 3 vorgesehen.
Aufgrund einer günstigen Zugänglichkeit ist die Klebstoffzuführstation 6 ausserhalb und oberhalb bzw. gegenüberliegend von dem Förderer 2 an der Zuführvorrichtung 8 angeordnet. Somit werden die Druckprodukte 3 vorerst lagegleich aus dem Bereich der Klebstoffzuführstation 6 geführt und anschliessend aus dem Bereich der Umlaufbahn der Mitnehmer 10 hinaus in eine der Seitenfläche eines an einer einem Mitnehmer 10 zugeordneten Auflager 4 aufliegenden Druckproduktes 3 entsprechende Lage verschwenkt.
Da der Förderer 2 und die Mitnehmer 10 eine konstante Umlaufgeschwindigkeit aufweisen, bedarf es im Bereich der Übergabe der Beilagen 7 an die Druckprodukte 3 einer vorübergehenden Beschleunigung der Mitnehmer 10. Diese kann durch ein nicht gezeichnetes, auf die Mitnehmer 10 beschleunigend einwirkendes Steuerelement erzielt werden.
Nach dem Anpressen der Beilagen 7 lösen sich die Greifer von diesen und werden auf dem Weg zur Mündung der Förderstrecke 13 an der Umlaufbahn in die Erfassungslage weiter- oder zurückgeschwenkt.
Die Mitnehmer 10 sind an einer gemeinsamen Antriebsnabe befestigt, die in der Zeichnung nicht ersichtlich ist.
An dieser Stelle sei vermerkt, dass die Beschreibung der beispielhaften Ausführungsformen auf die dargestellte Zeichnungsebene bezogen ist, d.h., dass in der nicht erkennbaren Zeichnungstiefe weitere der beschriebenen Teile vorhanden sind.
Dies betrifft insbeondere die Ausbildung der Zuführvorrichtung 8.1 illustrates an endlessly rotating conveyor 2 for printed products 3 in the area of the loading of the supports 4, which are fastened to a traction element 5 transversely to the conveying direction. The print products are loaded astride by at least one print product feeder (not shown) provided above the supports 4, which is followed by the device 1 above the supports 4.
The device 1 consists of an adhesive feed station 6 and a feed device 8 connected downstream of it in the conveying direction and conveying the inserts 7 against the supports 4.
This has a plurality of drivers 10 which rotate about an axis 9 which is perpendicular to the direction of conveyance of the printed products 3 and which immerses the supplements 7 in a respective intermediate space 11 of the supports 4 or printed products 3 of the conveyor 2 which follow at intervals. The drivers 10 rotating in the same direction in the area of the transfer of the insert to the conveyor 2 move in an orbit into which a conveyor section 13 of the supplements 7, which connects an feeder 12 and the adhesive supply station 6 connected downstream, opens. As shown in Fig. 1, the adhesive supply station is located 6 immediately before the rear end of the conveyor section 13 tangentially passing over to the orbit of the carriers 10
In order to be able to take over and insert the inserts 7 without problems, the drivers 10 are articulated within the orbit around an axis 14 parallel to the orbital axis 9 and can be pivotally controlled at the takeover point or in the region of the insert delivery to the conveyor 2. The driver 10, which has approximately the shape of an arm, is designed as a gripper at least at its pivotable end. The grippers can grip the inserts 7 by means of pneumatic negative pressure or mechanically, the location of the adhesive supply station 6 being particularly suitable for this. After the inserts 7 have been taken over by the carriers 10, they are turned away from the adhesive feed station 6 on the way to the transfer point of the conveyor 2 by about 270 ° into an approximately vertical position and pressed against a side surface of a printed product 3 lying thereon. For this purpose, the distance between the feed device and conveyor 2 is adjustable, so that the position of the insert 7 on the printed products 3 can be optionally determined.
At the mouth of the conveyor line 13 into the orbit, a guide or support for the printed products 3 that is suitable for adhesive transfer is provided.
Due to its favorable accessibility, the adhesive feed station 6 is arranged outside and above or opposite the conveyor 2 on the feed device 8. Thus, the printed products 3 are initially guided in the same position from the area of the adhesive feed station 6 and then pivoted out of the area of the orbit of the drivers 10 into a position corresponding to the side surface of a printed product 3 lying on a support 4 assigned to a driver 10.
Since the conveyor 2 and the driver 10 have a constant rotational speed have, in the area of the transfer of the supplements 7 to the printed products 3, a temporary acceleration of the drivers 10 is required. This can be achieved by a control element, not shown, which accelerates the drivers 10.
After the inserts 7 have been pressed on, the grippers detach from them and, on the way to the mouth of the conveying path 13, are pivoted further or back on the orbit into the detection position.
The drivers 10 are attached to a common drive hub, which is not shown in the drawing.
At this point it should be noted that the description of the exemplary embodiments relates to the drawing level shown, ie that further of the described parts are present in the undetectable depth of drawing.
This relates in particular to the design of the feed device 8.

Die Ausführung nach Fig. 2 unterscheidet sich von derjenigen nach Fig. 1 durch die besondere Ausbildung der Zuführvorrichtung 8, die aus um drei parallele, ein nach unten sich erstreckendes Dreieck bildende Achsen 15 umlaufende Mitnehmer 10 besteht.
Diese Ausführung gestattet u.a. die Verwendung einer anderen Klebstoffzuführstation 6, die aus einer drehenden Walze 16, an der zwei klebstoffgetränkte Leisten 17 vorgesehen sind, einer Klebstoffauftragswalze 18 und einem Klebstoffbehälter 19 besteht, während in Fig. 1 eine auf die Beilage 7 abgestimmte Düse oder ein tamponähnliches Werkzeug zum Klebstoffauftrag vorgesehen ist.
Die Beschickung der Zuführvorrichtung 8 erfolgt auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite von dem Förderer 2 bzw. an der Grundlinie des in einem Dreieck angeordneten Achsen 15 der Zuführvorrichtung 8.The embodiment according to FIG. 2 differs from that according to FIG. 1 by the special design of the feed device 8, which consists of drivers 10 rotating around three parallel axes 15 forming a downwardly extending triangle.
This embodiment allows, inter alia, the use of another adhesive feed station 6, which consists of a rotating roller 16, on which two adhesive-soaked strips 17 are provided, an adhesive application roller 18 and an adhesive container 19, while in FIG. 1 a nozzle or a matching the insert 7 is provided tampon-like tool for adhesive application is provided.
The feeding device 8 is loaded on the opposite side from the conveyor 2 or on the base line of the axes 15 of the feeding device 8 arranged in a triangle.

Der Verlauf der Mitnehmer 10 richtet sich nach der Anordnung der Achsen 15 und ihre Schwenkbewegung entspricht etwa derjenigen in der Ausführung nach Fig. 1.The course of the drivers 10 depends on the arrangement of the axes 15 and their pivoting movement corresponds approximately to that in the embodiment according to FIG. 1.

In Fig. 1 wie auch in Fig. 2 sind die Greifer an den freien Enden als Saugköpfe dargestellt, die mit einer Vakuumquelle verbunden und in ihrer Wirkung steuerbar sind.In Fig. 1 as well as in Fig. 2, the grippers are shown at the free ends as suction heads, which are connected to a vacuum source and the effect of which can be controlled.

Die Anleger 12 sind in beiden Figuren schematisch angedeutet und unterscheiden sich lediglich durch eine unterschiedlich lange Auslage bzw. Förderstrecke 13.
Die Beilagen 7 werden jeweils an ihrem in Förderrichtung vorderen Ende erfasst und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Druckproduktes mit einem Rand aus Klebstoff versehen.The feeders 12 are indicated schematically in the two figures and differ only by a delivery or conveying path 13 of different lengths.
The inserts 7 are each grasped at their front end in the conveying direction and provided with an edge made of adhesive on the opposite side of the printed product.

Der Förderer 2 kann auch ohne die Beilagen-Zuführvorrichtung betrieben werden, indem diese ein- und ausschaltbar ausgebildet ist.The conveyor 2 can also be operated without the insert feed device in that it is designed so that it can be switched on and off.
