Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of further processing of printed products and relates to a method and a device according to the preamble of the corresponding independent claims.
  • the inventive method and the device for performing the Methods are used for perfect binding, that is to say for connecting a plurality of stacked partial products in the area of a stacking area for the production of finished products with glued back, whereby a Partial product from a single or multiple folded sheets or several, simply folded Bow can exist.
  • the products consist of a fibrous one Material such as paper.
  • the manufactured by the perfect binding Products are, for example, magazines, brochures, books or the like.
  • the adhesive backing can continue with a backing strip that is part of the Cover sheets of the finished product can be covered.
  • adhesive backs are made of multi-layer Partial products made by folding through the folded edges the multi-layer part products formed back surface is milled so deep that all folded edges (possibly without the innermost folded edge) removed and actually a stack of unfolded single sheets arises, which is then glued like one.
  • the method according to the invention is based on gluing connecting folding edges of the stacked partial products with a tearing tool (as opposed to a cutting tool Tool) to be treated in such a way that multilayered folded edges at least be torn up completely in some areas.
  • a tearing tool as opposed to a cutting tool Tool
  • Edge areas to be glued which consist of fibers that only partly stick in the bond of the paper and over the effective paper edge protrude. These fibers not only anchor the sheets to be glued well in the adhesive of the adhesive backing but also make a glued area which is thinner and more flexible than the whole paper layer, which makes that done glued product can be opened better.
  • the treated edges to be glued are advantageously influenced, in that the fibers of the edge area after treatment with the tearing tool as complete and orderly as possible over the Protruding paper edge.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows the method according to the invention on the basis of a representation of successive stages of an emerging product with adhesive back, which is produced from a plurality of multi-sided partial products, each consisting of three sheets folded into one another.
  • the figure can also be understood as a schematic snapshot of a continuous process in which a multiplicity of products being produced are continuously guided past various processing tools in the conveying direction F and are pretreated on a back surface, provided with adhesive and a backing strip and pressed.
  • the stack 1 of partial products is used for pretreatment the back surface 2 on a tearing tool 4 conveyed past, which is for example a rotating brush, the tearing Tool 4 is arranged such that its effect has a depth which extends at least to the innermost layer of the folded edges.
  • the rotating tool is advantageously driven in this way (Arrow R) that it corresponds to the direction of conveyance F of the product being produced Synchronous running
  • This direction of rotation causes the fibers of the torn Edge areas combed out of the edge areas, whereby the advantageous effect is further enhanced (see also Figures 2 and 3 and associated description).
  • the pretreatment with the tearing tool results in the Stack 1 of folded partial products a stack of partial products with torn open Edges, for example a stack of single sheets with torn ones Edges that form the pretreated back surface 2 of the part product stack.
  • a suitable means 7 is applied to this pretreated back surface 2
  • Adhesive 8 applied through which the torn edges together a glued back. If necessary, on the adhesive a back strip 9 applied and with a suitable press 10 are pressed (arrow P). For curing or drying if necessary, the adhesive 8 is also to be supplied with heat.
  • Variants of the back stripe 9 shown in Figure 1 are on the Back-reaching cover pages or pairs of cover pages.
  • the cover of the glued back with a back strip is a measure for improvement the aesthetic impression of the finished product. This measure can of course also be omitted in such a way that the glued Back on the finished product as such is visible
  • the method according to the invention is characterized by the pretreatment the back surface 2 of the stack of partial products while the others Steps for creating the adhesive back are known per se. It appears, that after pretreatment with the tearing tool no further pretreatment steps are necessary, that is, directly after the pretreatment of the adhesive can be applied.
  • the end product of the process is a multi-page one Printed product 12.
  • FIG. 2 shows, on a significantly larger scale, a sheet 20 of paper or of another fiber-containing material in the region of a torn edge 21, which is exceeded by fibers 22 combed to the outside over the edge, while the fibers in sheet 20 are essentially undirected themselves .
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows in cross section to the main surfaces of the sheets a plurality of sheets 20 which are held together by an adhesive back 23.
  • This figure clearly shows how the adhesive 8 essentially holds the tapered edge regions of the sheets 20 together. Because of the tapering of the edge areas, these are also more flexible than cut, that is, non-tapering edge areas, and thus make it easier to open the bound product. However, because of the orientation of the fibers (see FIG. 2) in the edge areas bound in the adhesive back, the mechanical strength is not significantly reduced, so that tearing of a sheet from the adhesive back is not promoted.
  • FIGS. 4a to 4c show various exemplary back surfaces 2a to 2c as can be produced by the method according to the invention.
  • the back surfaces 2a to 2c have a width d and a height h, the edges of the partial products running parallel to the height h.
  • the back surface 2a according to FIG. 4a has a pattern of bound areas 40 alternating with unbound areas 41.
  • the bound areas extend across the entire back width and over part of the back height. In these areas, the part product edges are pretreated and glued with adhesive.
  • the unbound areas 41 the folded edges of the partial products are unchanged, that is to say in these areas the folded parts are still connected to one another, which contributes significantly to the stability of the bound product.
  • the back surface 2b according to FIG. 4b shows more and narrower bound ones Areas 40, but do not differ in principle from the back surface 2a according to Figure 4a.
  • Figure 4c also shows a back surface 2c with narrow bound areas 40 that are not parallel to the back width d, but crooked to get lost. It can be seen that adhesive backs according to FIG. 4c are advantageous are flexible and can be produced with a minimum of adhesive. Variants too with intersecting, obliquely bound areas are conceivable.
  • FIG. 5 shows, limited to the most essential, an exemplary embodiment of a device for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • This device has a tearing tool in the form of a rotating brush 50, the axial extent of which is substantially the same as or greater than the back height of the stack 1 of partial products conveyed past it with the appropriate conveying means (not shown) in the conveying direction F.
  • the brush 50 is arranged in such a way that its axis A is aligned essentially parallel to the back surfaces 2 to be treated and that the distance between the back surfaces 2 of the incoming products 1 and the brush axis A is smaller than the brush radius, essentially by that Depth of the folded edges (see Figure 1).
  • the direction of rotation R of the brush 50 is advantageously set up in such a way that the brush is operated in synchronism with the conveying direction F; it is also possible to operate in the opposite direction.
  • the brush 50 is advantageously a wire brush.
  • the illustration according to FIG. 5 relates to the pretreatment of stacks 1 of sub-products in a high-performance flow, that is thus conveyed with main surfaces oriented transversely to the conveying direction F. become.
  • main areas and back heights are promoted the brush perpendicular to the heights of the back surfaces conveyed past align.
  • the axis of the rotating brush is in to be arranged essentially transversely to the conveying direction.
  • FIG. 6 shows a bird's eye view of a device with three coaxially arranged, rotating busts 51, on which the back surfaces 2 of stacks 1 of partial products conveyed in the conveying direction F are conveyed past and pretreated in three areas 40.
  • FIG. 7 also shows a bird's eye view of a device for producing adhesive backs according to FIG. 4c.
  • a plurality of disk-shaped tools 70 are provided for the tearing pretreatment of the back surfaces 2, for example toothed disks, which are arranged coaxially or with parallel axes A, the conveying direction F running perpendicular to the tool axis A and the heights of the back surfaces 2 being oriented obliquely to the disks 70 are.
  • Figures 5, 6 and 7 show in a very simplified manner devices such as those for Pretreatment in a high-performance flow (direction F) subsidized stacks 1 of sub-products are used in which thus conveyed past it with an essentially stationary tool Back surfaces 2 are treated.
  • direction F high-performance flow
  • Figures 5, 6 and 7 show in a very simplified manner devices such as those for Pretreatment in a high-performance flow (direction F) subsidized stacks 1 of sub-products are used in which thus conveyed past it with an essentially stationary tool Back surfaces 2 are treated.
