In Fig. 1 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Bogenanleger 1 dargestellt. Er weist ein Hauptstapelhubwerk 2, einen Saugkopf 3 zum Vereinzeln der Bogen von der Stapeloberseite und einen Bogenführungstisch 4 zu einer bogenverarbeitenden Maschine auf. Der Bogenanleger 1 weist feste Gestellseitenwände 10 auf. Ein Bogenstapel S ist auf einer Stapeltragplatte 5 des Hauptstapelhubwerkes 2 mittels einer Palette P eingesetzt. Das Hauptstapelhubwerk 2 ist mit strichlierten Linien dargestellt und weist beiderseits des Bogenanlegers 1 d.h. an jeder Gestellseitenwand 10 eine Hubkette 6 sowie eine Hubwerksschiene 7 und Tragelemente 8 für die Stapeltragplatte 5 auf. Die Tragelemente 8 enthalten eine Traverse, die in Längsrichtung des Bogenanlegers 1 angeordnet und mit Auflagen für die Stapeltragplatte 5 versehen ist. Die Stapeltragplatte 5 ist bis auf den Boden absenkbar und ist mit einer Anfahrkante für das Befahren mit einem Stapeltransportmittel versehen. Damit kann eine Transportpalette P einfach auf der Stapeltragplatte 5 im Bogenanleger 1 zur Verarbeitung bereitgestellt werden.1 shows a sheet feeder 1 according to the invention. He instructs Main stacker 2, a suction head 3 for separating the sheets from the top of the stack and a sheet guide table 4 to a sheet processing machine on. The sheet feeder 1 has fixed frame side walls 10. A stack of sheets S is on a stack support plate 5 of the main stacking mechanism 2 by means of a pallet P used. The main stacker 2 is with dashed lines shown and points on both sides of the sheet feeder 1 i.e. on each side of the frame 10 a lifting chain 6 as well as a lifting gear rail 7 and supporting elements 8 for the stack support plate 5. The support elements 8 contain a cross member, which in Arranged in the longitudinal direction of the sheet feeder 1 and with supports for the stack support plate 5 is provided. The stack support plate 5 can be lowered to the floor and is with a leading edge for driving with a stack transport Mistake. A transport pallet P can thus simply be placed on the stack support plate 5 be provided in the sheet feeder 1 for processing.

In Fig. 2 ist die Anbringung der Stapeltragplatte 5 am Stapelhubwerk 2 dargestellt. Die Stapeltragplatte 5 ist dazu mit seitlich überstehenden Ausrichtschienen 9 versehen, die in Querrichtung zum Bogenanleger 1 angeordnet in die Tragelemente 8 hineinreichen und dort verschiebbar gelagert sind. Die Ausrichtschienen 9 sind so ausgebildet, daß die Stapeltragplatte 5 in der tiefsten Stellung der Tragelemente 8 am Stapelhubwerk 2 auf dem Boden aufliegt. Auf der Stapeltragplatte 5 ist eine Transportpalette P abgesetzt, die beispielsweise einen Bogenstapel S tragen kann. Die Lage des Bogenstapels S relativ zum Bogenanleger 1 ist durch Verschiebung der Stapeltragplatte 5 einstellbar.2 shows the attachment of the stack support plate 5 to the stacking hoist 2. For this purpose, the stack support plate 5 is provided with laterally protruding alignment rails 9, arranged in the transverse direction to the sheet feeder 1 in the support elements 8 reach in and are slidably mounted there. The alignment rails 9 are formed so that the stack support plate 5 in the lowest position of the support elements 8 rests on the floor on the stacker 2. On the stack support plate 5 a transport pallet P is set down, for example a sheet stack S can carry. The position of the sheet stack S relative to the sheet feeder 1 is through Displacement of the stack support plate 5 adjustable.

Wie dargestellt, sind die Tragelemente 8 an den Hubwerksschienen 7 so angeordnet, daß die Ausrichtschienen 9 der Stapeltragplatte 5 auf diesen aufgesetzt werden können. Dazu ist an jedem Tragelement 8 eine Ausrichtachse 11 angebracht. Die Ausrichtachse 11 kann als eine starre Auflageschiene oder auch als drehbares Element ausgeführt sein. Sinnvoll für eine einfache Bauweise und das Ausrichten großer Lasten z.B. bei vollem Bogenstapel S ist die Verwendung von einzelnen gelagerten Rollen an jeder Ausrichtschiene 9.As shown, the support elements 8 are arranged on the hoist rails 7 in such a way that the alignment rails 9 of the stack support plate 5 are placed thereon can be. For this purpose, an alignment axis 11 is attached to each support element 8. The alignment axis 11 can be as a rigid support rail or as rotatable element. Useful for a simple construction and that Aligning large loads e.g. with a full sheet stack S the use of individual rollers on each alignment rail 9.

In Fig. 2 nicht dargestellt sind die Ausrichtmittel an sich. Dies kann entsprechend dem Stand der Technik ein am Tragelement 8 befestigter Motor mit einem Stellgetriebe sein. Gleichfalls kann ein manuelle Ausrichtung vorgegeben sein. Standardmäßig wird aber ein Satz Stapelausrichtschienen 20 verwendet, wie er in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist. Die Funktion der Stapelausrichtschienen 20, die auf die vorderen senkrechten Stapelkanten des Bogenstapels S wirken, wird weiter unten dargestellt. The alignment means per se are not shown in FIG. 2. This can be done accordingly the prior art, a motor fastened to the support element 8 with an actuating gear his. Manual alignment can also be specified. By default a set of stack alignment rails 20 is used, however, as is shown in FIG. 1 is shown. The function of the stack alignment rails 20 perpendicular to the front Stack edges of the sheet stack S act, is shown below.

Möglich ist aber auch die Anordnung einer Ausrichtung entsprechend Fig. 3. Hier ist die Stapeltragplatte 5 über eine Stellvorrichtung in Form einer Stellspindel 12 mit der Tragvorrichtung 8 verbunden. Solche Stellspindeln 12 können an nur einer Ecke der Stapeltragplatte 5 angeordnet sein, wenn die Ausrichtschienen 9 an den anderen Ecken der Stapeltragplatte 5 mit einer Geradführung versehen sind, so daß sich die Stapeltragplatte 5 beim Verschieben nicht verkanten kann. Möglich ist auch die Anordnung zweier Stellspindeln 12 an beiden Ecken einer Längsseite der Stapeltragplatte 5, d.h. am Tragelement 8 auf der einen Seite des Bogenanlegers 1. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite d.h. am anderen Tragelement 8 können die oben beschriebenen Ausrichtschienen 9 auf Rollen vorgesehen sein.However, it is also possible to arrange an alignment according to FIG. 3. Here is the stack support plate 5 via an adjusting device in the form of an adjusting spindle 12 connected to the support device 8. Such adjusting spindles 12 can only a corner of the stack support plate 5 when the alignment rails 9 Provide a straight guide at the other corners of the stack support plate 5 are, so that the stack support plate 5 can not tilt when moving. It is also possible to arrange two adjusting spindles 12 at one corner Long side of the stack support plate 5, i.e. on the support element 8 on one side of the Sheet feeder 1. On the opposite side i.e. on the other support element 8, the alignment rails 9 described above can be provided on rollers his.

Alternativ ist in Fig. 4 die Verwendung eines Tragrahmens 13 zum Anheben von Stapeltragmitteln vorgesehen. Der Tragrahmen 13 besteht aus mehreren Profilen 16, 17, 18. Der Tragrahmen 13 ist an der Rückseite des Bogenanlegers 1, d.h. von Seite der Stapelzuführung her, offen und lediglich mit kurzen Auflageschenkeln 18 versehen. Die seitlichen Profile 17 des Tragrahmens 13 sind direkt mit den Ausrichtschienen 9 verbunden, die wie oben beschrieben auf den Tragelementen 8 des Stapelhubwerkes 2 aufliegen. Weiterhin ist der Rahmen 13 an seinem vorderen Profilelement 16 zur bogenverarbeitenden Maschine hin mit einem Führungsansatz 14 versehen, der in eine Ausrichtkulisse 15 am Anlegergestell eingreift. Die seitliche Verschiebung des Tragrahmens 13 kann sinngemäß wie die Verschiebung der oben beschriebenen Stapeltragplatte 5 erfolgen.Alternatively, in Fig. 4, the use of a support frame 13 for lifting Stacking means provided. The support frame 13 consists of several profiles 16, 17, 18. The support frame 13 is on the back of the sheet feeder 1, i.e. from the side of the stack feeder, open and only with short support legs 18 provided. The side profiles 17 of the support frame 13 are directly with the alignment rails 9 connected, as described above on the support elements 8 of the stacking mechanism 2 rest. Furthermore, the frame 13 is on its front profile element 16 to the sheet processing machine provided with a guide lug 14 which is in an alignment link 15 on the feeder frame intervenes. The lateral displacement of the support frame 13 can be analogous how to move the stack support plate 5 described above.

Mit einem solchen Tragrahmen 13 kann für die Stapelverarbeitung z.B. ein Stapeltisch mit Rollen verwendet werden. Dieser kann selbständig in den Bogenanleger 1 eingefahren werden, wo ihn der Tragrahmen auf einfachste Weise übernimmt und zum Abarbeiten durch den Saugkopf 3 anhebt. Hierbei kann auch eine Zentrierung des Stapeltisches mittels einer Mittenführung im Bogenanleger 1 vorgesehen sein, um die Vorausrichtung des Bogenstapels S zu erleichtern. Dazu dient auch die Zentrierung des Tragrahmens 13. Der Führungsansatz 14 ist in einer Führungskulisse 15 seitlich zentriert, solange sich der Tragrahmen 13 in Aufnahmeposition am Boden befindet. So kann der Bogenstapel S in einer nach beiden Seiten gleichermaßen ausrichtbaren Positionierung übernommen werden.With such a supporting frame 13, e.g. a stacking table can be used with rollers. This can independently in the sheet feeder 1 can be retracted where the supporting frame takes it over in the simplest way and for processing by the suction head 3. Here, one can Centering of the stacking table is provided by means of a center guide in the sheet feeder 1 be to facilitate the pre-alignment of the sheet stack S. To also serves to center the support frame 13. The guide projection 14 is in a guide link 15 laterally centered as long as the support frame 13 in Recording position is on the floor. So the sheet stack S in one after positioning that can be aligned equally on both sides.

Die Stapelausrichtung in Seitenrichtung wird also von einer zentrierten Position des Tragrahmens 13, die auch für die Stapeltragplatte 5 vorgesehen sein kann, aus ausgeführt. Hierzu werden die beiden Stapelausrichtschienen 20 mittels des Antriebes 21 gegen die vorderen senkrechten Kanten des Bogenstapels S gefahren und halten diesen so seitlich und in Längsrichtung ausgerichtet. Die Stapelausrichtschienen 20 sind mittels des Antriebes 21 sowohl relativ zueinander als auch gemeinsam in einer Richtung verschiebbar. Damit ist der Bogenstapel S sowohl quer gehalten als auch quer verschiebbar, wobei er samt Transportpalette und Stapeltragplatte 5 auf den Ausrichtschienen 9 und den Ausrichtachsen 11 bewegt wird. Eine Stellvorrichtung wie in Fig. 3 ist dann nicht erforderlich.The stack orientation in the lateral direction is thus from a centered position the support frame 13, which can also be provided for the stack support plate 5, executed from. For this purpose, the two stack alignment rails 20 by means of the drive 21 driven against the front vertical edges of the sheet stack S. and keep it aligned sideways and lengthways. The stack alignment rails 20 are both relative to each other and common by means of the drive 21 slidable in one direction. This makes the sheet stack S both held transversely as well as transversely displaceable, including the transport pallet and Stack support plate 5 moves on the alignment rails 9 and the alignment axes 11 becomes. An adjusting device as in Fig. 3 is then not required.

Grundsätzlich kann die Führung des Bogenstapels nach Fig. 1 bis 3 und Fig. 4 unterschieden werden. Bei der ersten Version, die eine Stapeltragplatte 5 verwendet, sind lediglich ebene Stapelausrichtschienen 20 für den Bogenstapel S vorgesehen, da diese ja mit einer einfachen Transportpalette zusammenarbeiten sollen. Im zweiten Fall bei Verwendung des rollbaren Stapeltisches kann dieser so ausgebildet sein, daß an seiner Vorderkante Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sind. In diese Ausnehmungen können dann die winkelförmigen Stapelausrichtschienen 20 entsprechend Fig. 4 eingreifen. Dazu steht der Bogenstapel S in diesem Bereich etwas über den Stapeltisch über. Die Ausnehmungen sind für beide Stapelecken nur so breit, daß die für die bogenverarbeitende Maschine vorgesehenen minimalen und maximalen Bogenformate verarbeitet werden können. Damit ist die vordere Stapelkante noch ausreichend unterstützt.Basically, the sheet stack can be guided according to FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIG. 4 be distinguished. In the first version, which uses a stack support plate 5, only flat stack alignment rails 20 are provided for the sheet stack S, since these are supposed to work together with a simple transport pallet. In the second case when using the rollable stacking table, it can be designed in this way be that recesses are provided on its front edge. In these recesses can then correspond to the angular stack alignment rails 20 Fig. 4 intervene. The sheet stack S stands in this area something about the stacking table. The recesses are for both stacking corners only so wide that the minimum intended for the sheet-processing machine and maximum sheet formats can be processed. So that's the front one Stack edge still sufficiently supported.

Die Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind nicht auf die dargestellten Varianten der Tragplatten- und Rahmenverschiebung beschränkt zu sehen.The embodiments of the invention are not based on the variants shown of the support plate and frame displacement.
