Abstract

Eine Vielzahl von Bogenmaterial-Zuführeinrichtungen 9 sind entlang eines kontinuierlichen Pfades 4 angeordnet und führen Bogenmaterial-Zusammenstelleinrichtungen 12 Bogenmaterialprodukte 17 zu. Eine Vielzahl von Bogenmaterial-Zusammenstelleinrichtungen 12 werden aufeinanderfolgend den kontinuierlichen Pfad 4 entlang bewegt und erhalten Bogenmaterialprodukte 17 an den Bogenmaterial-Zuführstationen 9. Die Bogenmaterial-Zusammenstelleinrichtungen 12 haben einen oberen Abschnitt 12.1 zum Zusammentragen von Bogenmaterialprodukten 17, die eine Zusammenstellung 46 bilden, und einen unteren Abschnitt 12.2 zum Übernehmen der zusammengetragenen Bogenmaterial-Zusammenstellungen 46 aus dem oberen Abschnitt 12.1. Bindearbeiten an den Zusammenstellungen werden durchgeführt, wenn die Zusammenstellung sich in dem unteren Abschnitt 12.2 befindet.

Figure 00000001
A plurality of sheet material feed devices 9 are arranged along a continuous path 4 and feed sheet material assembly devices 12 sheet material products 17. A plurality of sheet material assemblers 12 are successively moved along the continuous path 4 and receive sheet material products 17 at the sheet material supply stations 9. The sheet material assembly devices 12 have an upper section 12.1 for gathering sheet material products 17, which form an assembly 46, and one lower section 12.2 for taking over the collated sheet material assemblies 46 from the upper section 12.1. Binding work on the compilations is carried out when the compilation is in the lower section 12.2.
