Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of folding and automatic insertion of sheet documents into envelopes.
- the invention relates more particularly to a machine folder-inserter comprising a tray intended to receive documents to be folded and a folding mechanism supplied with documents to be folded by the tray and having at least one stop folding whose position is adjustable under the control of a processor.
- Such a machine is known from document FR-A-9111992.
- This machine actually includes two feed bins, one to receive the documents to be folded, the other to receive the envelopes. It also includes two pockets of folding each provided with a movable folding stop and the position is adjustable under the control of the processor.
- a and B correspond to two folding dimensions of a document in two folds.
- the object of the invention is to propose a device to help the user adjust, in a folding machine inserter, the folding dimensions of a document to be folded in avoiding him to proceed by trial and error.
- a pointing device capable of browse the full height of a document to be folded present in the bin and provide a signal indicative of the distance of its displacement along the height of this document.
- the processor is also connected to this pointing device to calculate data representative of the dimensions of folding of this document from the signal it provides the pointing device to automatically adjust the position of the stop.
- FIG. 1 the folding machine inserting machine according to the invention is shown in a very simplified manner.
- She includes a tray 1 for receiving documents to fold and automatically feeding in D documents, a mechanism folding 2, by an entry placed under the tray 1.
- Folding mechanism 2 has various rollers 3,4,5,6 which cause a document to be folded in pockets folds, here two pockets 7 and 8. Each pocket is provided a folding stop 9 and 10 movable in translation at inside the pocket. The stops are moved in the pockets under the action of movement transmitting organs 11 and 12 represented here by endless belts driven by motors. Each stopper is moved to occupy a position corresponding to a folding dimension of document D to fold.
- rollers introduce each document D to be folded first in pocket 7 where a fold is made according to dimension A shown in figure 2. Then the rollers insert this folded document into the pocket 8 where a second fold is made according to the dimension B shown in Figure 2.
- a pointing member which allows you to easily and automatically adjust the position of the folding stops according to the type of document to be folded and the envelope in which it must to be inserted.
- This pointing member comprises a bar 14 which extends along the width of bin 1 (therefore along the width of document D in tray 1).
- This bar is mounted movable in translation according to the height of tank 1 for slide along the entire height L of the document D.
- this bar slides in two slides provided on the lateral sides of tank 1.
- It also includes a cable 15 which is connected by a end to the bar 14 and by its other end to a drum 16 around which it is wound.
- a spiral spring mounted on the axis of rotation of the drum 16 forces the latter to wind the cable 15 to automatically bring the bar towards the bottom of the tray where it retracts.
- the bar 14 is used to designate the position of the block Ad address on document D from the bottom of the bin (i.e. from the bottom of document D) to the top of the bin until placed just below the Ad address block on document D, and the distance X3 of its displacement is recovered by a sensor 18 sensitive to displacement in rotation of the drum 16.
- This sensor can for example be a incremental optical encoder which is able to provide the microprocessor 13 a signal indicative of this distance X3.
- the processor 13 is arranged to calculate the data representative of the folding dimensions A and B from the distance X3 recovered from the sensor 18 and from the dimension L corresponding to the height of document D, of dimension H corresponding to the height of the envelope E in which the folded document D must be inserted and dimension X2 corresponding to the distance between the bottom of envelope E and the bottom of the window Fe of the envelope.
- the dimensions H and X2 are shown in Figure 2. They are previously inputs to processor 13 by the user of the machine, for example via a keyboard or a similar scoring system. Regarding the dimension H, this can also be entered by keyboard or recovered via a sensor detecting the passage of the front edge and the rear edge of the document D and based on the speed of movement of document D. It can still be entered using a similar pointer to position.
- the processor commands the display of an assistance message appropriate to user attention.
- the bar 14 is provided with a pressure sensor 19 visible in FIG. 3 which is connected to the processor 13 via an electrical connection 15 in sheet instead of a simple cable.
- the pressure probe does not detect any pressure against the document.
- the bar is positioned just below the address block Ad, the user presses the bar against the document and the pressure sensor delivers the signal which is detected by the processor. So it's easy to program the processor 13 so that it takes into account the signal supplied by sensor 18 only when the pressure probe is pressed.
- the strip 14 carries a diode electroluminescent 20 which is supplied with current electrical through the electrical connection 15.
- the lighting of the diode is used to inform the user of the machine that it is placed in an assistance mode for adjusting the position of the folding stops.
- the processor is programmed to control the ignition of the LED 20 following the entry of a command by menu or by pressing a specific key linked to the processor like key 21. Then the user of the machine moves the bar 14 along the height of the document to fold as shown above to retrieve the dimension X3. Following which, the processor calculates the dimensions of folding A and B to automatically adjust the position of the stops 9 and 10.

Description
Claims (4)
- Une plieuse inséreuse comprenant un bac (1) destiné à recevoir des documents (D) à plier, un mécanisme de pliage (2) alimenté en documents par le bac et ayant au moins une butée de pliage (9,10) dont la position est réglable sous la commande d'un processeur (13), caractérisée en ce qu'il est prévu un organe de pointage (14) apte à parcourir toute la hauteur (L) d'un document à plier présent dans le bac et à fournir un signal indicatif de la distance (X3) de son déplacement le long de la hauteur de ce document, le processeur (13) étant en outre connecté à cet organe de pointage (14) pour calculer des données représentatives des dimensions de pliage (A,B) de ce document à partir du signal (X3) que lui fournit l'organe de pointage afin de régler automatiquement la position de la butée.
- La plieuse inséreuse selon la revendication 1, dans laquelle l'organe de pointage comprend une barrette (14) s'étendant suivant la largeur du bac et montée mobile en translation sur la bac suivant la hauteur du bac, une liaison souple (15) reliée d'une part à la barrette et d'autre part à un tambour (16) sur lequel elle s'enroule, un ressort de rappel (17) tendant à forcer le tambour à enrouler la liaison souple et un capteur (18) sensible au déplacement en rotation du tambour, ce capteur fournissant le signal (X3) indicatif de la distance du déplacement de la barrette suivant la hauteur du bac.
- La plieuse inséreuse selon la revendication 2, dans laquelle la barrette (14) est munie d'un palpeur à pression (19) et la liaison souple est une liaison électrique en nappe reliant le palpeur au processeur (13).
