The appliance comprises first and second units which are connected by a conveyor section (12) which has a device (17) for altering the angular position of a ring coil connection (1) in relation to its longitudinal axis. At least one part of the conveyor section is in the form of a slide track (14). The ring coil connection is slid transversely axially along the slide track by a pusher (18). A magnet (17) provides retention force and is positioned beneath the track of the ring coil connection.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Überführen einer Drahtkammbindung aus einer ersten in eine zweite Position mit einer ersten, die Drahtkammbindung für die Überführung bereithaltenden Station, einer zweiten, die Drahtkammbindung aufnehmenden Station, einer die erste und die zweite Station verbindenden Förderstrecke und Überführungsmitteln zum queraxialen Bewegen der Drahtkammbindung aus der ersten Station über die Förderstrecke in die zweite Station.The invention relates to a device for transferring a wire comb binding from a first to a second position with a first station holding the wire comb binding ready for the transfer, a second station receiving the wire comb binding, a conveyor line connecting the first and the second station, and transfer means for transverse axial movement the wire comb binding from the first station via the conveyor line to the second station.

Das Verbinden von zu Stapeln aufgeschichteten Blättern aus Papier oder dergleichen, die an einem Rand entlang perforiert sind, zu Heften oder Blöcken durch Einsetzen von Drahtkammbindungen ist seit langem bekannt. Hierzu wird aus einem endlosen Draht zunächst ein endloser Drahtkamm gebildet, der C-förmig geformt wird. Von diesem C-förmig geformten Drahtkamm werden für jeden zu bindenden Blattstapel ein oder mehrere Drahtkammabschnitte, sogenannte Drahtkammbindungen, abgeschnitten. Bei einer derartigen Vorrichtung nach dem Stand der Technik wird jede Drahtkammbindung auf einen mit einem Magneten versehenen Halter geschoben und dann durch Schwenken des Halters um eine parallel zu ihrer Längsachse verlaufende Schwenkachse in eine Bindestation geschwenkt. Dort wird die Drahtkammbindung mittels einer Zange in die Perforierung des Blattstapels eingeführt und geschlossen (DE 24 03 154 C3). Jeder Blattstapel kann mit einer einzigen Drahtkammbindung passender Länge oder - bei der sogenannten Skip-Bindung - mit mehreren beabstandeten kürzeren Drahtkammbindungen gebunden werden (DE 31 41 686 C2). Die C-förmigen Drahtkammbindungen können auch zunächst an Tragleisten oder Tragbändern aufgereiht und so zu Matten zusammengefaßt werden. In dieser Form können sie gelagert und transportiert werden, um später ihrer Verwendung zum Binden von Blattstapeln zugeführt zu werden (GB-PS 987 117, GB 2 257 070 A).It has long been known to connect sheets of paper or the like which are stacked in stacks and are perforated along one edge to form staples or blocks by inserting wire comb bindings. For this purpose, an endless wire comb is first formed from an endless wire, which is shaped in a C-shape. One or more wire comb sections, so-called wire comb bindings, are cut off from this C-shaped wire comb for each sheet stack to be bound. In such a device according to the prior art, each wire comb binding is pushed onto a holder provided with a magnet and then pivoted into a binding station by pivoting the holder about a pivot axis running parallel to its longitudinal axis. There, the wire comb binding is inserted into the perforation of the sheet stack using pliers and closed (DE 24 03 154 C3). Each stack of sheets can be bound with a single wire comb binding of suitable length or - in the so-called skip binding - with several shorter wire comb bindings spaced apart (DE 31 41 686 C2). The C-shaped wire comb bindings can also first be lined up on support strips or support strips and thus combined to form mats. In this form they can be stored and transported for later use to bind stacks of sheets to be supplied (GB-PS 987 117, GB 2 257 070 A).

In vielen Fällen ist es erforderlich, die Drahtkammbindungen nach dem Abschneiden vom endlosen Drahtkamm in eine für die gewünschte weitere Verarbeitung geeignete Lage und Ausrichtung zu bringen. Gemäß der DE 24 03 154 C3 geschieht dies mittels eines Schwenkarms, der die Drahtkammbindungen nacheinander auf einer Kreisbahn entlang bewegt und dabei um 90° schwenkt. Das erfordert größeren konstruktiven Aufwand und Bauraum in der Maschine.In many cases it is necessary to bring the wire comb bindings into a position and orientation suitable for the desired further processing after they have been cut off from the endless wire comb. According to DE 24 03 154 C3, this is done by means of a swivel arm which moves the wire comb bindings one after the other along a circular path and thereby swivels through 90 °. This requires greater design effort and installation space in the machine.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine weitere Vorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art anzugeben.The invention has for its object to provide a further device of the type described above.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß der Förderstrecke Mittel zum Ändern der Winkellage der Drahtkammbindung bezüglich ihrer Längsachse während ihrer Bewegung aus der ersten in die zweite Station zugeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise erfolgt die benötigte Ausrichtung der Drahtkammbindungen bezüglich ihrer Achse schon beim queraxialen Fördern auf der Förderstrecke. Das kann mit einfachen Mitteln wirksam durchgeführt werden.This object is achieved according to the invention in that means for changing the angular position of the wire comb binding with respect to its longitudinal axis are assigned to the conveying path during its movement from the first to the second station. In this way, the required alignment of the wire comb bindings with respect to their axis takes place during the transverse axial conveying on the conveying path. This can be done effectively with simple means.

Weitere Fortführungen und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 7 enthalten. Dabei betrifft Anspruch 2 eine besonders bevorzugte Ausbildung der Förderstrecke als im wesentlichen geradlinige Gleitbahn, über welche die Drahtkammbindung queraxial geschoben wird. Die Ansprüche 3 bis 5 geben die Merkmale einer erfinderischen Fortführung der Erfindung an, mit denen die Veränderung der Winkellage der Drahtkammbindungen während ihrer Bewegung entlang der Förderstrecke gemäß der Erfindung bewerkstelligt wird. Eine besonders bevorzugte Variante besteht in den durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 4 gekennzeichneten Maßnahmen. Hiernach wird einfach mit Hilfe eines Magnetfeldes eine Rückhaltekraft auf die Drahtkammbindungen ausgeübt, die zusammen mit der Schubwirkung des Schiebers das für die Drehung erforderliche Kippmoment an der Drahtkammbindung bewirkt. Für nichtmagnetische Drahtkammbindungen sind die Maßnahmen nach dem Anspruch 5 vorgesehen. Die Merkmale der Ansprüche 6 und 7 betreffen Maßnahmen zum Begrenzen der Kippbewegung der Drahtkammbindungen in der Förderstrecke, die sicherstellen, daß die Drahtkammbindungen tatsächlich die vorgesehene Winkelorientierung erreichen und einhalten.Further developments and advantageous refinements of the invention are contained in subclaims 2 to 7. Claim 2 relates to a particularly preferred embodiment of the conveying path as an essentially straight slideway over which the wire comb binding is pushed transversely axially. Claims 3 to 5 specify the features of an inventive continuation of the invention, with which the change in the angular position of the wire comb bindings is accomplished during their movement along the conveyor line according to the invention. A particularly preferred variant consists in the features of claim 4 marked measures. Thereafter, a retaining force is simply exerted on the wire comb bindings with the aid of a magnetic field, which together with the thrust effect of the slide causes the tilting moment on the wire comb binding required for rotation. The measures according to claim 5 are provided for non-magnetic wire comb bindings. The features of claims 6 and 7 relate to measures for limiting the tilting movement of the wire comb bindings in the conveyor line, which ensure that the wire comb bindings actually reach and maintain the intended angular orientation.

Die Erfindung bietet den Vorteil, daß von einem C-förmigen Drahtkamm abgetrennte Drahtkammbindungen ohne großen Aufwand bezüglich ihrer Achse in eine neue Winkelposition gekippt werden. Das geschieht im engen Bereich einer ohnehin erforderlichen Förderstrecke, so daß die Änderung der Winkelposition keinen zusätzlichen Bauraum in der Maschine beansprucht. Die für die Änderung der Winkelposition eingesetzten Mittel sind einfach und kostengünstig und dabei weitgehend verschleiß- und wartungsfrei. Besonders einfach und wirksam ist die Vorrichtung für Drahtkammbindungen aus ferromagnetischem Draht zu verwenden, weil dabei die Kippbewegung allein durch das Feld eines oder mehrerer Magneten bewirkt wird. Aber auch unmagnetische Drahtkammbindungen können gemäß der Erfindung auf ähnlich einfache Weise beim Quertransport in eine neue Winkelposition gekippt werden.The invention offers the advantage that wire comb bindings separated from a C-shaped wire comb can be tilted into a new angular position with little effort with respect to their axis. This takes place in the narrow area of a conveyor line which is required anyway, so that the change in the angular position does not require any additional installation space in the machine. The means used to change the angular position are simple and inexpensive and largely free of wear and maintenance. The device for wire comb bindings made of ferromagnetic wire is particularly simple and effective to use because the tilting movement is brought about solely by the field of one or more magnets. However, non-magnetic wire comb bindings can also be tilted into a new angular position in a similarly simple manner during transverse transport.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.

In Figur 1 ist eine typische Drahtkammbindung 1 perspektivisch dargestellt. Es handelt sich dabei um einen Abschnitt vorgegebener Länge eines C-förmig gebogenen Drahtkammes. Die Drahtkammbindung weist an ihrer offenen Seite einander gegenüberliegend Spitzen 2 und Stege 3 auf. Mit 4 ist der Rücken der Drahtkammbindung bezeichnet.A typical wire comb binding 1 is shown in perspective in FIG. It is a section of a predetermined length of a C-shaped wire comb. The wire comb binding has tips 2 and webs 3 opposite one another on their open side. The back of the wire comb binding is designated by 4.

Zum Binden eines Blattstapels werden die Spitzen 2 mittels einer Zange in entsprechende Perforationen der Blätter eingeführt, dann wird die Bindung geschlossen. Dieser Vorgang ist bekannt und nicht Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung.To bind a stack of sheets, the tips 2 are inserted into corresponding perforations of the sheets using a pair of pliers, then the binding is closed. This process is known and is not the subject of the present invention.

Figur 2 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung in einer schematischen Vorderansicht. Diese Vorrichtung weist auf einem Gestell 6 eine erste Station 7 auf, in welcher die Drahtkammbindungen 1 nacheinander für die Weiterverarbeitung bereitgehalten werden. Diese erste Station 7 kann eine Schneidstation sein, in welche ein C-förmig gebogener Drahtkamm längsaxial vorgeschoben wird, von dem nacheinander die als Drahtkammbindung 1 vorgesehenen Abschnitte abgetrennt werden. Dieses längsaxiale Fördern des Drahtkammes erfolgt mittels eines Förderers 8, der an seiner Oberfläche Klammern 9 zum positionsgerechten Halten des Drahtkammes bzw. der abgetrennten Drahtkammbindungen 1 aufweist. Unter dem Förderer 8 ist ein Magnet 11 angeordnet, der Schwingungen des Drahtkammes bzw. der Drahtkammbindungen 1 verhindert.Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the device according to the invention in a schematic front view. This device has a first station 7 on a frame 6, in which the wire comb bindings 1 are kept ready for further processing. This first station 7 can be a cutting station, into which a C-shaped wire comb is advanced longitudinally, from which the sections provided as wire comb binding 1 are separated one after the other. This longitudinal axial conveying of the wire comb takes place by means of a conveyor 8 which has clamps 9 on its surface for holding the wire comb or the separated wire comb bindings 1 in the correct position. A magnet 11 is arranged under the conveyor 8, which prevents vibrations of the wire comb or the wire comb bindings 1.

Eine Förderstrecke 12 verbindet die erste Station 7 mit einer zweiten Station 13. Sie wird von einer Gleitbahn 14 mit aufgesetzten, in Förderrichtung verlaufenden Führungsleisten 16 gebildet. Unterhalb der Gleitbahn 14 ist ein Magnet 17 angeordnet. Quer zur Förderrichtung können nebeneinander auch mehrere solche Magneten 17 vorgesehen sein. Das Magnetfeld erstreckt sich in die Bewegungsbahn der Drahtkammbindung 1 entlang der Gleitbahn hinein. Die Gleitbahn ist hierzu für das Magnetfeld durchlässig. Ein Schieber 18 ist in Richtung eines Doppelpfeiles 19 in Förderrichtung parallel zur Gleitbahn 14 verschiebbar angeordnet, um in der ersten Station 7 bereitgestellte Drahtkammbindungen 1 über die Gleitbahn 14 zur zweiten Station 13 zu bewegen.A conveyor section 12 connects the first station 7 to a second station 13. It is formed by a slideway 14 with attached guide strips 16 running in the conveying direction. A magnet 17 is arranged below the slideway 14. A plurality of such magnets 17 can also be provided next to one another transversely to the conveying direction. The magnetic field extends into the path of movement of the wire comb binding 1 along the slideway. The slideway is permeable to the magnetic field. A slide 18 is arranged in the direction of a double arrow 19 so as to be displaceable in the conveying direction parallel to the slideway 14 in order to move wire comb bindings 1 provided in the first station 7 via the slideway 14 to the second station 13.

In der Förderstrecke 12 schließt sich an die Gleitbahn 14 die Vorderseite eines Stößels 21 an, die auf der Höhe der Gleitbahn liegt und mit den Führungsleisten 16 fluchtende Führungsleisten 22 trägt. Der Stößel 21 ist in Pfeilrichtung 23 senkrecht zur Förderstrecke 12 bewegbar angeordnet.In the conveying path 12, the front of a plunger 21 adjoins the slideway 14, which lies at the level of the slideway and carries guide bars 22 aligned with the guide strips 16. The plunger 21 is arranged to be movable in the direction of the arrow 23 perpendicular to the conveyor section 12.

Ein Endanschlag 24 ist aus einer vorgeschobenen ersten Position P1 (vgl. Figur 3) synchron mit dem die Drahtkammbindung auf der Gleitbahn bewegenden Schieber 18 in eine zurückgezogene zweite Position P2 (vgl. Figur 2) und zurück entsprechend einem Pfeil 26 verfahrbar. Die zweite Position P2 des Anschlags 24 definiert gleichzeitig das Ende der Förderstrecke 12 in Förderrichtung.An end stop 24 can be moved from an advanced first position P 1 (cf. FIG. 3) synchronously with the slide 18 which moves the wire comb binding on the slideway into a retracted second position P 2 (cf. FIG. 2) and back according to an arrow 26. The second position P 2 of the stop 24 simultaneously defines the end of the conveying path 12 in the conveying direction.

Im Betrieb wird ein C-förmig gebogener Drahtkamm mittels des Förderers 8 längsaxial in die erste Station 7 vorgeschoben, wo ein Drahtkammabschnitt vorgegebener Länge von dem Drahtkamm abgetrennt wird. Dabei befindet sich der Schieber 18 in seiner zurückgezogenen Position und kann im Stegbereich 3 an der Drahtkammbindung anliegen. Der Anschlag 24 befindet sich in der zurückgezogenen Position P2 und die Oberfläche des Stößels 21 schließt mit der Gleitfläche fluchtend ab. Während nun die bereitgestellte Drahtkammbindung 1 vom Schieber 18 in Pfeilrichtung 19 nach links auf die Gleitbahn 14 der Förderstrecke 12 geschoben wird, wobei ihre seitliche Ausrichtung durch die Führungsleisten 16 gewährleistet bleibt, bewegt sich der Anschlag 24 in Pfeilrichtung 26 nach rechts in seine erste Position P1.In operation, a C-shaped wire comb is advanced longitudinally axially into the first station 7 by means of the conveyor 8, where a wire comb section of a predetermined length is separated from the wire comb. The slider 18 is in its retracted position and can rest against the wire comb binding in the web area 3. The stop 24 is in the retracted position P 2 and the surface of the plunger 21 is flush with the sliding surface. While the wire comb binding 1 provided is now pushed from the slider 18 in the direction of arrow 19 to the left onto the slideway 14 of the conveying path 12, its lateral alignment being ensured by the guide strips 16, the stop moves 24 in the direction of arrow 26 to the right into its first position P 1 .

Sobald die Drahtkammbindung 1 unter der Schubwirkung des Schiebers 18 den Magneten 17 erreicht, übt dessen Magnetfeld eine Rückhaltekraft auf die Drahtkammbindung aus, was unter der Wirkung der Schubkraft des Schiebers 18 zu einem Kippmoment führt, das eine Drehung der Drahtkammbindung in Richtung des Pfeiles 27 in Figur 3 bewirkt. Unter der Wirkung des Kippmomentes wird der Rücken 4 der Drahtkammbindung 1 von der Gleitfläche abgehoben, so daß sich die offene Seite der Drahtkammbindung entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn zum Anschlag 24 hin verschwenkt. Zwei Winkelpositionen W1 und W2 dieses Schwenkvorganges sind in der Figur3 schematisch gezeigt. Dabei ist zu erkennen, daß unter der rückhaltenden Wirkung des Magnetfeldes des Magneten 17 auf die spitze Seite der Drahtkammbindung 1 ihr Rücken 4 von der Gleitfläche 14 abgehoben wird, so daß die Drahtkammbindung 1 gewissermaßen auf ihrer spitzen Seite abrollt und ihre offene Seite gegen den Anschlag 24 wendet. Diese Kippbewegung endet in dem Moment, in dem sowohl die Spitze als auch der Steg der Drahtkammbindung 1 an dem Anschlag 24 anliegen. Dies ist die Position W2 in Figur 3. Nun bewegen sich der Schieber 18 und der Anschlag 24 synchron in Pfeilrichtung 26 bzw. 19 nach links, wobei sie die Drahtkammbindung 1 in ihrer Position W2 zwischen sich festhalten. Dies ist in Figur 4 dargestellt. In Figur 5 hat der Anschlag 24 seine zurückgezogene zweite Position P2 erreicht, und der Schieber 18 ist bereits in seine Ausgangsposition zurückgekehrt, um der nächsten Drahtkammbindung in der ersten Station 7 Platz zu machen. Aus der zweiten Station 13 hat der Stößel 21 die Drahtkammbindung 1 an dem Anschlag 24 entlang in Pfeilrichtung 23 nach oben in Richtung auf die nächste Bearbeitungsstation verschoben. Dabei kann, was in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt, aber üblich ist, die Drahtkammbindung 1 an eine Zange zum Einführen in die Perforation eines Papierstapels übergeben werden oder sie kann an einen Träger zum Bilden von Matten für die Bevorratung von vorbereiteten Drahtkammbindungen aufgereiht werden.As soon as the wire comb binding 1 reaches the magnet 17 under the pushing action of the slider 18, its magnetic field exerts a retaining force on the wire comb binding, which, under the action of the pushing force of the slider 18, leads to a tilting moment which causes the wire comb binding to rotate in the direction of arrow 27 in Figure 3 causes. Under the effect of the tilting moment, the back 4 of the wire comb binding 1 is lifted off the sliding surface, so that the open side of the wire comb binding pivots counterclockwise towards the stop 24. Two angular positions W 1 and W 2 of this pivoting process are shown schematically in FIG. It can be seen that under the restrained effect of the magnetic field of the magnet 17 on the pointed side of the wire comb binding 1, its back 4 is lifted off the sliding surface 14, so that the wire comb binding 1 rolls to a certain extent on its pointed side and its open side against the stop 24 turns. This tilting movement ends at the moment when both the tip and the web of the wire comb binding 1 rest against the stop 24. This is the position W 2 in FIG. 3. Now the slide 18 and the stop 24 move synchronously to the left in the direction of the arrow 26 and 19, respectively, holding the wire comb binding 1 in position W 2 between them. This is shown in Figure 4. In FIG. 5, the stop 24 has reached its retracted second position P 2 , and the slide 18 has already returned to its starting position in order to make room for the next wire comb binding in the first station 7. From the second station 13, the plunger 21 has shifted the wire comb binding 1 along the stop 24 in the direction of arrow 23 upward in the direction of the next processing station. What is not shown in the drawing, but is common, can transfer the wire comb binding 1 to a pair of pliers for insertion into the perforation of a paper stack or it can be lined up on a support for forming mats for the storage of prepared wire comb bindings.

Sofern die Drahtkammbindung nicht aus magnetischem Material besteht, kann anstelle eines Magneten 17 in der Förderstrecke die Reibung der Gleitbahn 14 partiell erhöht werden, wodurch ebenfalls eine Rückhaltekraft auf die Drahtkammbindung bewirkt werden kann, welche zu einer Drehung in der Drahtkammbindung im beschriebenen Sinne führt.If the wire comb binding is not made of magnetic material, instead of a magnet 17 in the conveying path, the friction of the slideway 14 can be partially increased, which can also cause a retaining force on the wire comb binding, which leads to a rotation in the wire comb binding in the sense described.
