  • the invention is based on the knowledge that the friction between the booklet and the cover can be exploited to achieve the object that the booklet is prevented from shifting relative to the cover when it is pressed firmly against the cover.
  • a device for controlling the gripping function of the gripper as a function of its pivoting position relative to the support arm can be provided, which can expediently comprise a cam disk and a scanning roller, in this way it can be achieved that the gripper during the transition to a certain swivel position (for example at the beginning of the closing process) starts to grip and releases when another swivel position is exceeded (for example at the end of the swivel process).
  • FIG. 1 explains a possible embodiment of a device according to the invention in a highly schematic representation.
  • the device shown is to be seen as part of a complete packaging unit, in which there are further devices for feeding and opening the empty CD boxes, for inserting the booklet into the cover, and optionally for further processes.
  • a CD box 1 opened to 180 ° is provided or supplied with a lower part 1a and cover 1b.
  • the open CD box lies horizontally on a support 2, For example, a conveyor belt.
  • the lower part 1a is already fully equipped with the inlay card, the CD carrier and the CD itself at this stage.
  • a booklet 3 lies on the cover or is inserted between the holding projections (not shown) on the cover and the cover.
  • the only thing missing is the closing of the lid, which has to be pivoted around the articulation point or the hinge 1c on the lower part and comes to rest on the lower part, closing it.
  • Fig. 1 shows the position of the device in three successive phases I. to III. the closing process, the relevant parts are shown with solid lines, dashed lines and dotted lines.
  • a carrier 5 is held in a suitable manner on a base frame 4.
  • a first swivel arm 8 is held on the support 5 at an end section such that it can rotate about a horizontal axis 6 running perpendicular to the plane of representation.
  • a second pivot arm 9 is held in a corresponding manner pivotable about a second axis 7 and aligned parallel to the first pivot arm.
  • the two swivel arms carry a support arm 10 at their opposite end sections, bearings with horizontal axes of rotation 11, 12 also being provided.
  • the support arm 10 is capable of an overall circular movement, its orientation with respect to the carrier 5 not changing, ie the support arm 10 always remains horizontal.
  • the movement of the support arm 10 is here by a driven toothed belt 11 or similar controlled, which runs on the one hand via a drive wheel 12 which can be driven in both directions and on the other hand via pulleys (not shown), the axes of rotation of which coincide with the swivel axes 6, 7 and which are each firmly connected to the swivel arms 8 and 9.
  • the drive wheel 13 is driven by a motor or the like.
  • a gripper On the end section of the support arm 10 facing the CD box, a gripper, designated as a whole by 16, is held, the construction and mode of operation of which is explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.
  • a gripper body 18 held on a rotatable shaft 17 carries, on the one hand, a fixed abutment 19 and, on the other hand, a gripper arm 21 which can be pivoted about an axis 20.
  • the opposite end portion of the gripping arm 21 serves as an operating arm on which a rotatable roller 22 is held.
  • a tilting arm 24 which can be pivoted about an axis 23 is also held on the gripper body 18.
  • the lower end section of the tilt arm 24 facing away from the gripper arm 21 carries a further roller 25, which can be rotated about an axis 25b and which rolls on a cam disk 26 with its outside.
  • the other, facing the gripper arm 21 End portion of the rocker arm 24 contacts the roller 22 of the gripper arm 21 on the outside thereof.
  • the gripper arm 21 is biased in the gripping direction, ie clockwise in FIGS. 2 to 5, by means of a spring, not shown, the spring force being transmitted to the cam disk 26 via the roller 22, the rocker arm 24 and the roller 25.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 To explain the function of the gripper, reference is made to FIGS. 1 and 2 in connection.
  • the support arm 10 When the drive wheel 13 rotates clockwise, the support arm 10, starting from the already explained position I. (solid lines), passes through the position II. Offset by approximately 90 ° (dashed lines) and finally reaches the position, again offset by approximately 90 ° III. (dotted lines), which essentially corresponds to the closed position of the cover 1b.
  • the gripper 16 held on the support arm 10 or the center of its shaft 17 follows the semicircular, dash-dotted movement path 30.
  • the gripper as a whole must be pivoted relative to the support arm 10. This is achieved in that, for reasons of clarity, only a further toothed belt 32 or the like shown in phase II. rotates between two rollers, not shown in detail, one of which has an axis which coincides with the axis 12, is firmly connected to the swivel arm 9 and the other, whose axis coincides with the axis 17, is firmly connected to the gripper body 18.
  • the toothed belt 32 thus creates a positive coupling between the angular positions of the swivel arm 9 on the one hand and the gripper body 18 on the other hand, or in other words, between the progress of the closing process and the position of the gripper.
  • the actual gripping function of the gripper 16, i.e. the pivoting movement of the gripper arm 21 in the direction of the abutment 19 is controlled by the fact that the movable roller 25 of the rocker arm 24 rolls on the profiled cam disk 26 which is stationary with respect to the support arm 10 in the above-described pivoting movement of the gripper body.
  • 3 to 5 show schematically how the radial distance of the roller 25 from the shaft 17 changes at different pivot positions and the movement of the rocker arm 24 transmitted to the roller 22 controls the position of the gripping arm 21.
  • the angle specification "-5 °" corresponds to the first approximation of position I. (FIG. 1) and the specification "167.5 °" roughly corresponds to position III.
  • the profile of the aforementioned cam 26 is adapted so that the gripper begins to close from a position of about -5 ° (Fig. 2) (Fig. 3), shortly thereafter completely closed (Fig. 4) and over the largest area of the closing pivoting movement remains in this closed position.
  • the gripper opens again (Fig. 5) so that the gripper arm 21 emerge from the area of the CD box and this can be completely closed.
