Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing printed matter consisting of several individual products, such as newspapers, magazines or the like, according to Preamble of claim 1.
  • Processing stations are located above the surrounding saddle-shaped supports provided by means of which the individual products the saddle pads or between trained recordings to be fed on in this way to assemble the printed products to be produced.
  • the printed products compiled in this way will finally, for example, gripped by one gripper each and of the saddle-shaped pads or those in between trained recordings for the purpose of further processing promoted away.
  • Drum or circulation systems can be of different types of printed products are produced by Producing a certain type only certain Machining stations activated and / or the Processing stations different individual products be fed.
  • the method according to the invention enables simple Way with a single drum or circulation system products of different types at the same time produce, for the implementation of the inventive method on the known drum or Circulation systems no mechanical changes what is required under economic Point of view is advantageous.
  • a simple example of using one The method according to the invention is the production of a Daily or weekly newspaper with a separate insert, for example a magazine or an advertising brochure.
  • part of the To provide newspapers with the insert mentioned while another part of the newspapers delivered without deposit should be the processing station that the Promotes deposits to the receiving positions, in the way operated that, for example, only each second, passing this processing station Loading position is loaded with an insert.
  • this product stream can then be converted into a product stream with deposit and a product stream without deposit be divided, these two product flows then the necessary further processing, for example, a packaging station can.
  • a packaging station can be different Products fed to the same packing station, in of different products into one Packaging unit to be packed.
  • the method according to the invention can also applied when newspapers, magazines and The like.
  • a part with a first insert and a part with one for example different from the first insert second insert should be provided.
  • the shooting positions with deposits feeding processing stations in the above described manner operated the one Processing station every second recording position with the the first insert and the second Processing station between each with the first insert loaded receiving positions Loading positions loaded with the second insert. So you finally get at the exit of the drum or Circulation system two product flows, one of which is made up of Newspapers with the first insert and the other out Newspapers with the second insert exist.
  • the product types produced in this way can be completely different from each other.
  • the circulation system shown in Fig. 1 for implementation of the method according to the invention has a Conveyor with an endless, revolving driven and two spaced apart, horizontal axes 1, 2 deflected tension member 3 on which rungs like saddle-shaped pads 4 are arranged. There can also be two at a distance tension elements 3 arranged from one another may be present.
  • grippers 12 are in the direction of the arrow moving funding coupled, the direction of conveyance the gripper 12 in the between the processing stations 5, 6, 7 and the saddle-shaped pads 4 are formed Transfer area in the same direction and essentially parallel to the conveying direction of the pads 4.
  • the conveyor speeds of the grippers 12 and Pads 4 are adapted to one another in such a way that directly successive grippers 12 the Processing stations 5, 6, 7 each via direct successive runs 4 pass. If all Grippers 12 of the processing stations 5, 6, 7 with Individual products could be loaded in this way from each of the processing stations 5, 6, 7 all successive editions 4 with individual products be loaded.
  • the provided at the processing stations 5, 6, 7 Grippers 12 are automatically by one Opening gate 13 actuated so that the Grippers 12 individual products 9, 10, 11 held over the respective editions 4 are released, so finally astride the pads 4 to be able to.
  • processing stations 5, 6, 7 When loading the pads 4 with individual products 9, 10, 11 through the processing stations 5, 6, 7 according to FIG. 1 serves the processing station 5, which with A marked group of editions 4 with the first Single product of the product to be manufactured A feed, the processing stations 6, 7 corresponding to the loading of B and C marked groups of editions 4 with each first individual products of the products to be manufactured B and C serve.
  • the processing stations are corresponding 5, 6, 7 with the symbols A (Z1), B (Z1) and C (Z1) featured.
  • the method illustrated in FIG. 1 is also not on the production of three different ones Product types limited. It can just as well two or more than three different ones Types of products are manufactured. The maximum number of the possible different types of products theoretically only by the total number of existing editions 4 limited.
  • the method according to the invention can also be used Manufacture of products of the same kind used be, whereby no change of the circulation system is necessary.
  • the machining stations it is within the scope of the method according to the invention also possible to manufacture the machining stations to arrange the different types of products so that to produce a single type of product certain processing stations one after the other are arranged. In this case, feed them processing stations arranged one behind the other the same requirements with individual products. A The corresponding procedure is described below Described with reference to FIG. 2.
  • a processing station 8 To those processing stations that are feeding Serve individual products, closes in the direction of conveyance F a processing station 8 to carry away the finished compiled products.
  • a processing station 8 begins a conveyor, which by is of a known type and which on a tension member in Has regularly spaced grippers 15.
  • the exit station 8 has a closing link 14 provided which the gripper 15 moved in the direction of the arrow always closes exactly when the respective one Gripper over a pad 4 with one done compiled product. In this way the finished products gripped and conveyed away from the device.
  • the conveying speed of the pads 4 and the gripper 15 are synchronized so that directly successive grippers 15 each finished assembled products from direct successive editions 4 can stand out.
  • Fig. 2 shows a drum system for performing the inventive method.
  • the saddle-shaped pads 16 not as in FIG. 1 on one revolving traction element but on a rigid, rotating driven cylindrical drum 17 attached, wherein in the direction of the axis of rotation (longitudinal axis) 18 of the Drum 17 extending saddle-shaped pads 16 radially Extend away from the axis of rotation 18 of the drum.
