Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the manufacture of Books or brochures with a book block made of folded pages Thread-sewn printed sheet, the center spread with down directed side parts in a predetermined order one after another with a right angle to the fold of the Compressed sheet arranged stitching device cooperate Stapling saddle are fed on which they after the stapling position positioned and then to the stapler for the Sewing be added to book blocks.
  • Processes of this kind are carried out, inter alia, with thread sewing machines of the designation "Inventa” of the Muller Martini bookbinding systems AG.
  • thread sewing machines of the designation "Inventa” of the Muller Martini bookbinding systems AG.
  • collected in loose stacks compressed sheets are separated and transferred to a conveyor, centrally opened on the conveyor and delivered astride a connected to a saddle stitcher stapler intermediate conveyor.
  • a sheet is detected in each case by a slide-in device on the leading edge of the sheet and moved against a position on the staple left hand position stop; This is true for both small and large-format printed sheets.
  • both the shortest printed sheet on the intermediate conveyor and the longest printed sheet travel the same distance from the intermediate conveyor to the position stop on the saddle; also the speed V is the same for all printed sheets and about two hundred sheets per minute are sewn by the stapler, ie more than three sheets per second.
  • the transfer of the print sheets from the intermediate conveyor to the saddle makes it necessary to achieve a short-term acceleration of the printed sheet recorded on the intermediate conveyor to obtain the distance and is not without problems. Sheets that have a shorter fold length and associated higher lability than the largest processable format are thus moved over an unduly long distance to the position stop, so that the reliability of a correct transfer is claimed accordingly strong.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method and a To create a device with which to print sheets with a less folding length than the maximum permitted sheet format one, the reliability of the processing of Sheet on the way from the intermediate conveyor or feed conveyor can be increased to stitch saddle.
  • the path and the speed of a corresponding signature from the intermediate conveyor to the saddle become smaller in the available constant cycle time of the processing. This also causes a lower impact energy.
  • the inventive measure would be through the shorter path the print sheet from the intermediate conveyor to the saddle saddle alternatively allow the possibility to drive a higher cycle time i.e. in the same time range, a higher throughput of sheet on the other hand the measure of the improved Reduce reliability again.
  • a device for carrying out the method according to the invention consists of a stitching device fed by a feed conveyor, at least two driven stitching needles for forming a stitching device having at least two seams running at right angles to the longitudinal extent of a book block and a stitching device associated therewith, joining the feed conveyor at the feed end in time with the supplied print sheets. transversely to the feed direction of the sheet reciprocating saddle stitch, and is characterized according to the invention by a stitch saddle associated, the trailing edge of a sheet to the head or foot edge of an at least partially stitched by the stapler book block positioning. This can be done in a simple manner for press sheets with a lower fold length than the maximum allowable higher processing reliability or increase the throughput of printed sheets.
  • the positioning device a the sheet from the feeder fetching insertion device, the reliable transfer of the printed sheets to the saddle allowed.
  • the insertion device with this one cooperating, opposite the saddle adjustable positioning stop be assigned, which allows a vote make a gentle transfer of the Sheet can be done between feeder and saddle.
  • a cyclic drive of the insertion device allows a Conveying the sheet even without position stop, eg. by generated friction between the insertion device and Sheet.
  • the insertion device could be used as a slide or as a formed around parallel axes rotating endless belt be whose one strand in the feed direction of the sheet for frictional connection with these facing the saddle is.
  • the positioning device is after Format resp. the fold length of a sheet adjustable.
  • the sheets, formats with maximum allowable fold are referred to as 1, those with shorter folds with 1 ', deducted by the magazine 2 associated singulator 4 while maintaining the order one after the other and transferred to a conveyor 5, represented by cooperating circumferential bands where they are initially delivered on the down-hanging side to a feed conveyor 6, a process which is known in the art and therefore need not be further discussed.
  • the feed conveyor 6, on which the printed sheets 1 are now conveyed astride, can be equipped with different sheet control devices.
  • a bow control 7 which monitors the accuracy of the supplied printed sheets 1, 1 ', and a thickness control 8, for detecting a single sheet.
  • the transport of the printing sheets 1, 1 'on the feed conveyor 6 is made according to the drawing by a rotating traction member 9 with protruding drivers 10, the sheet 1, 1' on a saddle-shaped support 11 following the conveyor 5 on the trailing or rear Capture head or foot edge.
  • the feed conveyor 6 which may have a relatively longer or shorter conveyor line than shown, includes a perpendicular to the feed direction of the sheet 1, 1 'back and forth movable stitch saddle 12, whose support has approximately the cross-sectional shape of the feed conveyor 6, so that a trouble-free transfer of the sheet 1 from the feed conveyor 6 can be done when saddle 12 and feed 6 form an at least approximately stepless connection.
  • the feeding of the saddle 12 with a printing sheet 1, 1 'from the feed conveyor 6 takes place by means of an insertion device 14 formed from a circulating belt 13.
  • the insertion device 14 can be driven cyclically in the cycle of sheet-fed processing or driven with continuous revolution; the various means are known.
  • a positioning device 19 that is to align the sheet 1, 1 'with the trailing head or foot edge on the saddle 12 in the after the at least partially sewn last book block 20; viewed in the processing direction of the stapler 15 right-justified with the sewn book blocks.
  • the single figure also shows in dot-dash line on the feeder 6 and the stitch saddle 12 sheet 1 'with less than the fold line shown with solid line 1 with maximum fold length, the smaller sheet 1' on the saddle 12 in the situation according to the invention are illustrated. Striking is a shorter distance between the on the feeder 6 located foremost sheet 1 'and the sheet 1' on the saddle 12, which assumes the position onmodulbinstitukeit with the sewn book blocks 20 behind the stapler 15, opposite to each other on the feed conveyor 6 moving sheet 1 'shorter fold length.
  • the offset on the saddle 12 in stitching or Nählage printed sheet 1, 1 ' is, as shown in FIG. 1, lifted by a pivoting movement in the sewing position to the side and there sewn to a book block 20 with other sheet 1.
  • the printing sheets 1, 1 ' are guided on the feed conveyor 6 at regular intervals.
  • the conveying direction is maintained, however, shortens the last distance by the supplied shorter sheet 1 'with the trailing head or foot edge 25, 25' on the saddle 12 after the head or Foot edge 26, 26 'of the perpendicular to the feed direction developing, sewn book block stack 27 are aligned.
  • a positioning device as illustrated in the single figure can be formed from a cyclically about two rollers 16, 17 running endless belt 13 as a slide-in device 14, wherein the Stapling saddle 12 adjacent strand 18 the press sheets 1, 1 'detected by friction on the feed conveyor 6 and placed on the saddle 12 in the position of the subsequent sewing process.
  • the exact positioning of the printing sheet 1, 1 'on the saddle 12 can be done with the additional help of a positioning stop 21, which can be adjusted automatically or manually according to the format of the processed sheet 1, 1'.
  • the alignment of the trailing edge 25, 25 '(head and Foot edge) of a printed sheet 1, 1 'after the head or foot edge 26, 26 'of an at least partially stapled book block refers to the arrangement of the processed Printed sheet in the thread stitcher by the trailing edge 25, 25 'of a fed sheet 1 of the top edge or the Foot edge of a book block after resp. at the stapler can be assigned.
