Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing printed products consisting of several sub-products, such as. B. newspapers, magazines and the like, with a processing drum driven in rotation about an approximately horizontal axis with regularly distributed in the circumferential direction, substantially parallel to the axis saddle-shaped supports and with means of transport for transporting the products along the saddle-shaped supports from one arranged in the axial drum end region
  • Product feed station to a product removal station which is spaced in the axial direction from it and in the opposite drum end area, at least two product processing stations between the product feed and product removal stations, in particular collecting, inserting, gathering, stitching, individual product gluing, gluing, cutting stations and / or the like are provided.
  • Devices of this type are used to produce a wide variety of printed products, which are combined in a suitably multifunctional processing drum, for example by collecting, inserting and / or collating in successive product processing stations to form a finished printed product. If necessary, the individual product processing stations responsible for collecting, plugging in and / or collecting can carry out certain additional tasks Product processing stations are connected upstream and / or downstream, which perform special functions such as stapling, sticking on individual products such as cards or samples, gluing or cutting.
  • a disadvantage of the device described, which is suitable for producing complex printed products, is that the production of simple printed products turns out to be ineffective, since even in the production of such simple printed products, all of the product processing stations provided on the processing drum have to be run through, a part or a large part this product processing stations in the production of such simple printed products does not have to perform a function and is therefore switched off.
  • the utilization of the existing product processing stations is to be increased and the production time for simple printed products is to be reduced.
  • At least one further product removal station is provided between two product processing stations spaced apart in the axial direction and thus also between the product supply station arranged in the drum end area and the product removal station arranged in the opposite drum end area, which can be activated and deactivated as desired.
  • a processing drum with the product processing stations provided thereon can be used in a conventional manner for serial operation for the production of complex printed products, in which case the first partial products of the processing drum to be combined with other partial products or the first partial products to be processed are arranged over those arranged in the axial end region of the drum Product feed station are fed, whereupon they are joined or processed with further partial products as they pass through all the product processing stations provided on the processing drum, in order finally as a finished product from the one in the opposite Drum end area arranged product removal station to be removed.
  • a further product removal station is provided according to the invention, which is arranged in the transport direction behind the product processing stations required for the production of this product and before the product processing stations not required for the production of this product, thereby avoiding an unnecessary and time-consuming passage through the product processing stations that are not required becomes. In this way, the production time for simple printed products in a device that is also suitable for producing complex printed products can be shortened considerably.
  • the further product removal station can be activated as required, so that it can be put out of operation for the production of simple printed products and out of operation for the production of complex printed products.
  • a further product feed station is provided behind the further product removal station and in front of at least one product processing station in the transport direction.
  • the device shown in FIG. 1 consists of a processing drum 2 which is driven to rotate about a horizontal axis 1 and which is composed of a first section 3 and a second section 4.
  • the processing drum 2 has a cylindrical core section 5, on the circumferential surface of which are arranged regularly distributed, parallel to the axis 1 saddle-shaped supports 6.
  • a product feed station 7 is provided, by means of which folded individual products 8 are fed to the processing drum 2 in the direction of arrow A and are placed one after the other on a support 6 of the rotating processing drum 2.
  • a card gluing station 9 adjoins the product feed station 7 in the direction of the drum axis 1, to which cards 10 are fed in the direction of the arrow B and are glued to the product 11.
  • a collecting station 12 is provided, in which folded products 13 are placed astride the products 15 already provided with cards 10 in the direction of arrow C.
  • the gathering station 12 is followed by a stapling station 16 having a rotary stapler 14, by means of which the partial products forming the finished printed product 17 are stitched together at their common fold.
  • the rotary stapler 16 is followed by a product removal station 18, in which the finished products 19 are gripped by means of an automatically operable clamp 20a of a conveyor 20 and lifted off the respective support 6.
  • the conveyor 20 conveys the products 19 away from the processing drum 2 in the tangential direction in the direction of the arrow E.
  • All the stations described so far are arranged in the area of the first section 3 of the processing drum 2.
  • the section 4 of the processing drum 2 adjoins it axially aligned, the saddle-shaped supports 6, 6 ′ being - which is not absolutely necessary in the operating mode according to FIG. 1. of the two sections 3, 4 of the processing drum 2 are circumferentially aligned with one another, so that there is a flush transition between the supports 6, 6 'of the two sections 3, 4 of the processing drum 2.
  • the section 4 of the processing drum 2 is provided with corresponding stations 7 ', 9', 12 ', 16' and 18 'analogous to section 3.
  • the two sections 3, 4 of the processing drum 2 preferably driven by a common drive shaft 21, begin to rotate synchronously.
  • the two product feed stations 7, 7 'then start to work simultaneously, as a result of which both sections 3, 4 individual products 8, 8 'are simultaneously fed to the processing drum 2 for further processing.
  • the supports 6, 6 ' are provided in a known manner with transport means, not shown, by means of which the products deposited on the supports 6, 6' can be conveyed along these supports 6, 6 'in the direction of the drum axis 1.
  • transport means not shown
  • the products deposited on the supports 6, 6 ' describe an essentially spiral path around the drum axis 1, indicated by the arrows D, D', during a drum revolution are each shifted in the drum axis direction by the distance provided between two adjacent stations, so that one processing operation can be carried out on each product in the device per revolution of the processing drum 2.
  • the products are not advanced in the area of the feed and processing stations 9, 12, 16, 7 ', 9', 12 ', 16'.
  • two identical products can be produced simultaneously on a section 3, 4 of the processing drum 2, all of the stations provided on the processing drum 2 being continuously in operation and being used. In this way, all stations are used optimally and the manufacturing time required for each product is reduced to a minimum.
  • processing drum 2 According to the division of the processing drum 2 into two sections 3, 4, it can also be divided into three or more sections, in which case further product removal and product supply stations must also be provided at the respective end regions of the individual sections.
  • the individual product processing stations 7, 9, 12, 16, 7 ', 9', 12 ', 16' provided on the processing drum 2 can optionally be activated or deactivated in order to be able to produce different products.
  • FIG. 2 corresponds to a device according to FIG. 1, which is why, for reasons of clarity, not all reference numerals are shown in the illustration according to FIG. 2.
  • the two sections 3, 4 of the processing drum 2 are either firmly connected to one another by mechanical means via the gap 22 formed between them on the end face or - in the absence of such a device Connection - acted upon by two synchronously running drives.
  • the two sections 3, 4 must be in such an angular position that the saddle-shaped supports 6, 6 'of the two sections 3, 4 are aligned.
  • the transport means, not shown, of the two sections 3, 4 with which the products are pushed or pulled in the direction of the axis 1 over the supports 6, 6 'must be coupled with one another in such a way that the products are supported by a support 6 of the Section 3 can be conveyed via the gap 22 to a support 6 'of section 4. In this way it is possible that the products already processed in the area of section 3 can then be further processed in the area of section 4.
  • the station 7 'serving in parallel operation according to FIG. 1 as the product feed station to the second section 4 is operated in the serial operation according to FIG. 2 in the same way as in the parallel operation, with the difference that it acts as a collecting station in the serial operation, the additional partial products already in the area of Section 3 processed products.
  • both simple and complex printed products can be produced quickly and inexpensively.
  • existing systems for example consisting of only one processing drum section, can be easily expanded to a system consisting of several processing drum sections, which can increase the variability and effectiveness of the overall system, whereby existing devices cannot be retired but can be used in conjunction with the system expansion. This is given when the processing drum is divided into several sections Modularity gives the user significantly greater flexibility in planning and possible later expansion of the devices he needs for the production of printed products.
  • FIG. 3 shows a saddle-shaped support 6 ′′, as can be used in a device according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the support 6 ′′ is provided on one side with a profile rail 24 fastened to an angle element 23, which extends parallel to the saddle 25 of the support 6 ′′ and forms a receiving area for products 26, 26 ′, 26 ′′ to be inserted.
  • the product shown at 27 consists of a single or multi-part, possibly folded individual product 26 lying on the side of the support 6 ′′ on the profile rail 24 and a folded product 28 placed thereon on the support 6 ′′ with a card 29 glued on Intermediate product 26, 28, 29 is transported in the direction of arrow F by a linearly movable slide 30.
  • another product 32 is deposited in the direction of arrow G via a product 28 from a collection station (not shown). Below the product 32 there is thus the invisible product 28 at 31, which is provided with the card 29 stuck on - shown in dashed lines at 31.
  • FIG. 3 is intended to clarify that end products in which the internal partial products are not only collected as shown in FIG. 1, but are at least partially inserted or collected, can also be produced with a device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows an individual product that can be processed with a device according to the invention, which is provided as a 2-fold product 36 with a fold 37 on the end face and a fold 38, which when collecting individual products 36 on a support 6, 6 ', 6 '' comes to rest on the saddle 25 according to FIG. 3.
