Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen und Einwinden einer Drahtspirale in einen parallel zu seinem Rücken vorgelochten Blätterpack.The invention relates to a device for producing and winding a wire spiral in a pack of sheets pre-punched parallel to his back.

Eine Drahtspirale bzw. Drahtwendel zum Binden der eingangs genannten Blätterpacks` beispielsweise in Form von Stenogrammblocks, Kalender usw., wird üblicherweise aus einem Draht, einem kunststoffummantelten Draht oder einem Kunststoffaden hergestellt, wobei alle derartigen Materialien im folgenden der Einfachheit halber als

Draht" bezeichnet werden.A wire spiral or wire helix for binding the leaf packs mentioned at the outset, for example in the form of stenogram blocks, calendars, etc., is usually produced from a wire, a plastic-coated wire or a plastic thread, all such materials being referred to below for the sake of simplicity
Figure 00010001
Wire ".

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Einfädelung der Drahtspirale in den Blätterpack zu erleichtern bzw. störungsfrei zu gestalten.The invention has for its object the threading of the wire spiral into the leaf pack to facilitate or to design trouble-free.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine sich im wesentlichen durchgehend von einem Drahteinlauf bis zur Einfädelung in den Blätterpack erstreckende Spiralführung.According to the invention, this object is achieved by an essentially continuous process spiral guide extending from a wire inlet to threading into the sheet pack.

Eine sichere Drahtführung ist besonders im unmittelbaren Einfädelungsbereich am Drahtablaufende der Spiralführung wichtig. Im Hinblick hierauf ist eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung darauf gerichtet, daß die Spiralführung einen rotierenden Wickeldorn und eine in Vorschubrichtung der Drahtspirale koaxial anschließende stationäre Führungsschnecke umfaßt.
Um jeden neuen Spiralanfang, der bei der Abtrennung eines im wesentlichen der Bindungsbreite des Blätterpacks entsprechenden Spiralabschnitts entsteht, für einen neuen Einfädelungsvorgang zielgerichtet zu Positionieren, wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, daß einem Drahtablaufende der Führungsschnecke ein Drahttrennmittel zugeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise verhindern die bis zum Ende wirksamen Schneckenführungen, daß sich der spiralisierte Draht beim Trennungsvorgang verwindet und verbiegt.
Eine maximal wirksame Drahtführung wird gemäß einer Weiterbildung dadurch erzielt, daß das Drahtablaufende der Führungsschnecke mit einer Ausnehmung versehen ist, in die ein ortsfestes Messer bzw. ein bewegliches Messer des Drahttrennmittels hineinragt bzw. hineinbewegt wird.
Eine zusätzliche Stabilisierung der Spiralführung ist gemäß einer Ausgestaltung dadurch gewährleistet, daß dem Wickeldorn eine mit dem Steigungswinkel der Drahtspirale anstellbare rotierende Niederhalterrolle zugeordnet ist.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Niederhalterrolle federelastisch anstellbar, wobei die federelastische Anstellung als Blattfederhalterung ausgebildet ist.Safe wire guidance is particularly important in the immediate threading area at the wire outlet end of the spiral guide. In view of this, an advantageous embodiment is directed to the spiral guide comprising a rotating winding mandrel and a stationary guide screw coaxially adjoining in the direction of advance of the wire spiral.
In order to position each new beginning of the spiral, which arises when a spiral section essentially corresponding to the binding width of the sheet pack is separated, for a new threading process, it is further proposed that a wire release means be assigned to a wire outlet end of the guide screw. In this way, the screw guides, which are effective to the end, prevent the spiraled wire from twisting and bending during the separation process.
A maximum effective wire guidance is achieved according to a further development in that the wire outlet end of the guide screw is provided with a recess into which a stationary knife or a movable knife of the wire separating means projects or is moved.
According to one embodiment, additional stabilization of the spiral guide is ensured in that the winding mandrel is assigned a rotating hold-down roller that can be adjusted with the pitch angle of the wire spiral.
The hold-down roller can expediently be adjusted resiliently, the resilient adjustment being designed as a leaf spring holder.

Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht darin, daß die Drahtspirale durch eine praktisch ununterbrochene Führung gezielt in die Perforierung des Blätterpacks einläuft, wobei die Drahtspirale beim Trennvorgang in ihrem Steigungsverlauf derart formschlüssig gehalten wird, daß ihre Formstabilität im Bereich des durchtrennten Endes und damit dessen sichere Einfädelung gewährleistet ist. The advantage achieved with the invention is that the wire spiral by a practical uninterrupted guidance runs into the perforation of the sheet pack, whereby the wire spiral is held in such a positive manner in the course of the slope during the cutting process is that their dimensional stability in the area of the severed end and thus its secure threading is guaranteed.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing explained in more detail.

Hierbei zeigen:

Figur 2
eine stirnseitige Ansicht der Vorrichtung in Richtung des Pfeils II gemäß Figur 1.
Here show:
Figure 1
a side view of a device for winding a wire spiral and
Figure 2
2 shows an end view of the device in the direction of arrow II according to FIG. 1.

Gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2 weist die Vorrichtung einen Wickeldorn 1 auf, der in einem Gehäuse 2 drehbar gelagert und durch einen Riementrieb 3 in Richtung des Pfeils 4 antreibbar ist.
Im Wickelbereich weist der Wickeldorn 1 im Bereich des Drahteinlaufes X einen sich kegelstumpfförmig erweiternden Abschnitt A und daran anschließend einen zylindrischen Abschnitt B auf. Der für den Wickelvorgang wirksame Bereich des Abschnitts A des Wickeldornes 1 ist kürzer als der Abschnitt B.According to FIGS. 1 and 2, the device has a winding mandrel 1 which is rotatably mounted in a housing 2 and can be driven in the direction of arrow 4 by a belt drive 3.
In the winding area, the winding mandrel 1 has, in the area of the wire inlet X, a section A widening in the shape of a truncated cone and then a cylindrical section B thereafter. The area of section A of the winding mandrel 1 which is effective for the winding process is shorter than section B.

Um den Wickeldorn 1 herum sind in gleichem Abstand zueinander drei Halter 6 angeordnet, die jeweils mittels einer Schraube 7 und eines Langloches 8 an der Stirnseite des Gehäuses 2 radial zum Wickeldorn 1 verstellbar befestigt sind.
In jedem Halter 6 sind zahlreiche zylindrische Stifte 9 drehbar gelagert und in axialer Richtung durch Stiftschrauben 11 gesichert, mit denen ein genaues Anstellen der Stifte 9 an den Wickeldorn 1 möglich ist.
Bei zwei Haltern 6 sind die Reihen der Stifte 9 zueinander entsprechend der Steigung der zu wickelnden Drahtspirale S gestaffelt angeordnet.
Stirnseitig an den Wickeldorn 1 schließt sich innerhalb des Steigungsabstandes zwischen zwei Drahtwindungen der Drahtspirale S eine koaxial angeordnete stationäre Führungsschnecke 12 an, die gemeinsam mit dem Wickeldorn 1 eine sich nahezu bis zur Einfädelung in einen Blätterpack 13 erstreckende Spiralführung bildet.
Einem Drahtablaufende E der Führungsschnecke 12 ist ein Drahttrennmittel 14 zugeordnet, bestehend aus einem ortsfesten Messer 16 und einem beweglichen Messer 17, die in eine Ausnehmung 18 im Bereich der letzten Schneckenführung der Führungsschnecke 12 hineinragen.
Darüber hinaus ist dem Wickeldorn 1 eine mit dem Steigungswinkel der Drahtspirale S durch eine Blattfederhalterung 19 federelastisch anstellbare rotierende Niederhalterrolle 21 zugeordnet.Around the winding mandrel 1, three holders 6 are arranged at the same distance from one another, each of which is fixed radially to the winding mandrel 1 by means of a screw 7 and an elongated hole 8 on the end face of the housing 2.
Numerous cylindrical pins 9 are rotatably mounted in each holder 6 and secured in the axial direction by stud screws 11, with which an exact positioning of the pins 9 on the winding mandrel 1 is possible.
In the case of two holders 6, the rows of pins 9 are arranged in a staggered manner in relation to one another in accordance with the slope of the wire spiral S to be wound.
At the end of the winding mandrel 1, a coaxially arranged stationary guide screw 12 adjoins within the pitch distance between two wire turns of the wire spiral S, which together with the winding mandrel 1 forms a spiral guide which extends almost up to the threading into a sheet pack 13.
A wire separating means 14 is assigned to a wire outlet end E of the guide screw 12, consisting of a stationary knife 16 and a movable knife 17, which protrude into a recess 18 in the area of the last screw guide of the guide screw 12.
In addition, the winding mandrel 1 is associated with a rotating hold-down roller 21 that can be adjusted with the pitch angle of the wire spiral S by a leaf spring holder 19.

Die Wirkungsweise der Vorrichtung ist wie folgt:
Der Draht 22 läuft im Bereich des Drahteinlaufes X auf den Wickeldorn 1 auf und wird im Bereich des kegelstumpfförmig sich erweiternden Abschnittes A zu einer Drahtspirale S geformt, indem er an den Stiften 9 abrollt und durch Recken formstabil gemacht wird.
Der zylindrische Abschnitt B des Wickeldornes 1 sorgt für den nötigen Kraftschluß zwischen Draht 22 und Wickeldorn 1, was durch den Andruck mittels der Niederhalterrolle 21 noch unterstützt wird.
Alle vom Wickeldorn 1 fortlaufend ablaufenden Drahtwindungen der Drahtspirale S werden unmittelbar bzw. im vorgegebenen Steigungsabstand von der ersten Schneckenführung der Führungsschnecke 12 übernommen und nach Verlassen des Drahtablaufendes E der Führungsschnecke in die Vorperforierung 23 des Blätterpacks 13 eingefädelt.
Nachdem ein definierter Längenabschnitt der Drahtspirale S über die volle Bindungsbreite in den Blätterpack 13 zuzüglich geringer seitlicher Überstände eingewunden ist, wird die Windungsbewegung der Drahtspirale S gestoppt und die Drahtspirale S an ihrer letzten noch von der Führungsschnecke 12 geführten Drahtwindung durch Verschwenken des beweglichen Messers 17 um seine Achse 24 in Pfeilrichtung 25 gegen das ortsfeste Messer 16 durchtrennt.The device works as follows:
The wire 22 runs in the area of the wire inlet X onto the winding mandrel 1 and is formed into a wire spiral S in the area of the frustoconically widening section A by rolling it off on the pins 9 and making it dimensionally stable by stretching.
The cylindrical section B of the winding mandrel 1 provides the necessary frictional connection between the wire 22 and the winding mandrel 1, which is further supported by the pressure by means of the hold-down roller 21.
All wire windings of the wire spiral S running continuously from the winding mandrel 1 are taken over directly or at the predetermined pitch from the first screw guide of the guide screw 12 and, after leaving the wire outlet end E of the guide screw 12, are threaded into the pre-perforation 23 of the sheet pack 13.
After a defined length section of the wire spiral S has been wound into the sheet pack 13 plus small lateral projections over the full binding width, the winding movement of the wire spiral S is stopped and the wire spiral S on its last wire winding still guided by the guide screw 12 by pivoting the movable knife 17 severed its axis 24 in the direction of arrow 25 against the stationary knife 16.

Ein Verwinden und Verbiegen des durchtrennten und damit einen neuen Anfang für den nächsten einzufädelnden Spiralabschnitt bildenden Endes der Drahtspirale S wird auf diese Weise wirksam verhindert und eine sichere Einfädelung gewährleistet.A twisting and bending of the severed and thus a new beginning for the The next spiral section to be threaded end of the wire spiral S is on this Effectively prevented and safe threading guaranteed.

In der Beschreibung und den Ansprüchen wird der Übung der Praxis entsprechend von Drahtspiralen" gesprochen. Die im mathematisch-technischen Sinn korrekte Bezeichnung ist jedoch Drahtwendel" oder Drahtschraube".In the description and the claims, the practice is according to Wire spirals ". However, the correct term in the mathematical-technical sense is Wire helix "or Wire screw ".
