Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for the adhesive bonding of the sheets of a multi-leaf, folded printed product, such as a magazine, newspaper, brochure or the like.
  • a method and a device of this type is disclosed in patent application EP-A-628429, prior art according to Art. 54 (3) EPC.
  • the printed product is placed astride a saddle-shaped pad.
  • Above the support is a support beam with penetration tools in the form of driving or drilling needles.
  • a press device is first lowered onto the printed product in order to hold it in a defined manner on the support.
  • penetrating tools By lowering the penetrating tools, passages are created through the fold of the printed product and adhesive applied to the outside of the penetrating tools is transferred over the entire length of the passages when the passages are formed or when the penetrating tools are removed, in order to produce punctual adhesive stitching.
  • the penetrating tools could also be arranged in the support instead of in supporting beams, so that the driving-in movement would take place from bottom to top, ie from the inside of the printed product to the outside thereof.
  • adhesive will adhere to the Is stripped outside of the outermost sheet and that glue is drawn into the inside of the innermost sheet. The latter can lead to the fact that the printed product, if it is not completely folded immediately after the adhesive has been introduced, can no longer be folded completely or that a complete opening is no longer possible because the halves of the innermost sheet are glued together adjacent to the fold.
  • the pad can also be contaminated with adhesive if the printed product is moved along the pad after the adhesive has been introduced. Adhesive stripped on the outside of the printed product can contaminate other printed products or parts of the device. Further processing can be adversely affected, for example, adhesive that has not yet dried out when stacking printed products can cause them to stick together.
  • a particularly good spread of the passage is achieved in the particularly preferred development of the method according to the invention.
  • the lateral compressive force is advantageously released as soon as the penetrating tool has left the passage (claim 7). This means that even fast-curing adhesive can be used, since the passage is closed again very quickly.
  • FIGS. 1 to 7 of the device according to the invention for the adhesive bonding of the sheets 10 of a multi-leaf folded printed product 12, such as a magazine, newspaper, brochure etc. has an elongated saddle-shaped support member 14 with a support edge 16.
  • the printed product 12 is placed astride the support member 14 in such a way that the innermost sheet 10 lies with its fold line 18 on the support edge 16.
  • the fold of the printed product 12 is designated 20.
  • the product halves 12 'of the folded printed product 12 are kept spread apart by means of the support element 14 which is approximately triangular in cross section.
  • the inside and outside of the printed product 12 are indicated at 21 and 21 ', respectively.
  • a pressing and centering device 22 is arranged above the support member 14, of which only the two pressing elements 24 are shown. They have pressure cutouts 26 formed on their end face facing the support member 14 in accordance with the cross section of the support member 14.
  • the pressing elements 24 can be lowered in the direction of the double arrow A for pressing the printed product 12 against the support member 14 in the direction against the latter and can be raised for releasing the printed product 12.
  • a sword-like penetration tool 28, as indicated by the double arrow B, can be moved from a rest position 30 in the support member 14 along a rectilinear movement path 32 to a penetration position 30 'and back again.
  • the longitudinal extension of the penetration tool 28 runs in the direction of the movement path 32 and this runs at least approximately in the longitudinal center plane 14 'of the support member 14 and at right angles to it.
  • Seen in the longitudinal direction of the support member 14, the penetrating tool 28 pierces the fold 20 of the printed product 12 from the inside 21 between the two pressing elements 24, which, contrary to the action of the penetrating tool 28, penetrate the printed product 12 when moving from the raw position 30 into the penetrating position 30 ' Hold the support member 14 in contact.
  • the support member 14 has a passage opening 34 which is penetrated by the penetrating tool 28.
  • the support member 14 has a support edge recess 36, which extends symmetrically to the movement path 32, seen in the longitudinal direction of the support member 14, outside of the pressing elements 24.
  • the printed product 12 lies on the support member 14 outside of both ends of the support edge recess 36.
  • the pressure element 38 denotes a tongue-like pressure element which can be moved from a waiting position remote from the support member 14 in the direction of the double arrows C and D into a pressing position, in which the pressure element 38 is shown.
  • the pressure element 38 acts from the outside on the printed product 12, a lateral pressure force 40, the line of action 40 'of which roughly intersects the fold line 18 of the innermost sheet 10 and thus the support edge 16, which is extended via the support edge recess 36, and the path of movement 32 of the penetrating tool 28.
  • the Lateral compressive force 40 presses the product half 12 ′ facing the pressing element 24 in the direction against the support edge recess 36, which leads to the passage 42 created by the penetrating tool 28 being widened or spread out like a funnel.
  • the pressure element 38 acts on the printed product 12 preferably in a length that is greater than the width of the blade-like penetrating tool 28 in this direction.
  • the pressure force means 44 preferably have two pressure elements 38, as is indicated in FIGS. 5 to 7 with the arrows designated accordingly.
  • the two pressure elements 38 placed in the pressing position exert lateral pressure forces 40 on the two product halves 12 'towards one another, which leads to the passage 42 being spread out in a funnel shape symmetrically to the longitudinal center plane 14' in the upward direction (FIGS. 5 and 6).
  • the pressure elements 38 can be moved from the waiting position into the pressing position and back again by means of known drive means, for example cylinder piston units.
  • drive means for example cylinder piston units.
  • both the pressure elements 38 and the pressure elements 24 are spring-supported.
  • an adhesive application device 46 is further arranged above the support member 14. By means of this, the penetrating tool 28 located in penetrating position 30 'is applied with adhesive 48.
  • the support member 14 is preferably used as a collecting section, on which folded sheets 10 are placed astride one another.
  • the printed product 12 thus formed then reaches a gluing station by moving along the support member 14 and / or the support member 14 with the printed product 12 arranged thereon in the direction transverse to the longitudinal extent of the support member 14.
  • the pressing elements 24 are in their upper end position and the penetrating tool 28 is in the rest position 30, as is indicated in FIG. 2.
  • the penetrating tool 28 is set in the direction of arrow B towards the penetrating position 30 'towards the top (FIG. 3).
  • the penetrating tool 28 pierces the printed product 12 in the area of its fold 20 from the inside 21 and creates the passage 42, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the adhesive application device 46 applies adhesive 48 to the surface of the penetrating tool 28 in the penetrating position 30 ', in the present case a drop of adhesive on one flat side of the penetrating tool 28 in the region of the tapered end.
  • the pressure elements 38 are moved from the waiting position into the pressing position, as a result of which they exert the lateral pressure force 40 on the printed product 12 in order to expand the passage 42.
  • the penetrating tool is withdrawn into the rest position 30 (FIG.
  • FIGS. 8 to 14 show a further embodiment of the device according to the invention, which is similar to the embodiment shown and described above.
  • the same reference numerals are used for the same parts as in FIGS. 1 to 7; with regard to their structure and mode of operation, reference is made to the description above.
  • the elongated saddle-shaped support member 14 also has a support edge recess 36.
  • the passage opening 34 opens into this and now has a rectangular cross section and, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the support member 14, extends approximately over the entire length of the support edge recess 36.
  • a sleeve-like guide element 50 is arranged in the passage opening 34, the end walls 52 of which are connected to one another via side walls 54 are in the basic position substantially parallel to the longitudinal center plane 14 '.
  • the guide element 50 projects into the support edge recess 36, the upper edge 56 of the end and side walls 52, 54 lying in a surface which corresponds to the surface of the support member 14 which is intended to be extended beyond the support edge recess 36, as is shown in particular in FIGS. 8 and 11 can be seen.
  • the side walls 54 of the guide element 50 are elastically deformable.
  • the pressing element 24 was lowered in the direction of arrow A onto the printed product 12 in order to hold it against the support member 14.
  • the penetrating tool 28 was moved from its rest position 30 in the support member 14 in the direction of arrow B through the guide element 50 into the penetrating position 30 ', piercing the printed product 12 in the region of the fold 20 from the inside 21 and producing a passage 42 .
  • the adhesive application device 46 is used to apply adhesive 48 to the surface of the penetrating tool 28. Now the pressure elements 38 are moved from their waiting position shown in FIG. 8 in the direction of the arrows D to the pressing position, as shown in FIG. 9.
  • the pressure elements 38 are seen in the longitudinal direction of the support member 14, arranged in the penetrating tool 28, which leads to the fact that under the lateral pressure force 40 the side walls 54 are bent inwards and pressed against the penetrating tool 28.
  • the penetration tool 28 is now retracted in the direction of arrow B into the rest position 30 shown in FIG. 10.
  • the adhesive 48 previously applied to the penetrating tool 28 is transferred to the sheets 10 in the passage 42.
  • the lateral compressive force 40 exerted by the pressure elements 38 also leads to a funnel-like spreading of the passage 42 in this embodiment, the position of the cutting edge formed by the innermost or innermost sheet 10 now being predetermined by the edge 56, as is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 can be seen. Furthermore, the side walls 54 of the guide element 50 are brought into abutment by the lateral pressure force 40 as soon as the penetrating tool 28 is retracted into the passage opening 34, see FIGS. 10 and 14. This also closes the passage 42 in the area of the innermost arc 10. Now, the pressure elements 38, as indicated by the arrows D in FIG. 11, are brought back into the waiting position, which leads to the passage 42 closing.
  • lean sword-like penetrating tool 28 has an approximately rectangular cross section. It is tapered and has razor-sharp edges in the area of the taper to form a blade. It is also conceivable to provide an oval cross section and to make exceptions such as grooves, grooves or the like for the adhesive on the penetrating tool 28. These penetrating tools form a gap-like passage without removing paper.
  • Cold and hot glue can be used.
  • An adhesive can be used which flows into the gaps between the floor in order to produce a particularly good tack.
  • the pressing and centering device 22 and the pressure force means 44 can be arranged on a common holder, which can be raised and lowered in the direction of arrow A.
  • the pressing elements 24 also ensure that the pressing and centering device 22 and the pressure force means 44 are centered with respect to the support member 14.
  • the penetration tool can be driven in various ways, for example by means of cylinder-piston units of a link control, etc. The same also applies to the pressing and centering device 22 and the pressure force means 44.
  • the printed products 12 in the region of the support edge recess 36 i.e. are not supported or are elastically yieldable in a section of an edge region along the fold 20.
  • the passage 42 is widened by the lateral compressive force 40, since folded multi-sheet printed products 12, in particular in the area of the fold 20 and in an adjoining edge area, split between the sheets 10 due to the inherent elasticity and thus have a greater thickness than in the area the edge area removed from the fold 20.
