A device for combined gathering and binding 1 comprises an endless one Chain of sheet material collating devices 12 arranged side by side, the chain being rotated around two drive wheels 2 and 3, respectively. Over the endless chain that is moved on a fixed support 10 is a variety of bottomless Sheet material feeders 9 arranged. The variety of sheet material feeders 9a-9j are spaced apart.

Note that the term circulation means that a defined sheet material assembler 12 a full lap along all of the different Sheet material feeders 9 has completed and in their starting position has returned. A cycle, however, is defined as the part of the continuous path 4 between two adjacent feed stations, for example 9b and 9c.

The sheet material collators 12 are along a continuous path Path 4 arranged, this path through two linear sections 5 and 6 and one first non-linear section 7 and a second non-linear section 8 is defined. When transported along the continuous path 4 in a direction 14, as indicated, pass through the sheet material gathering devices 12 in the linear section 5 bottomless feeders 9b-9f and after passing the second non-linear Section 7 the sheet material assembly devices 12 pass through the bottomless Feeders 9g-9j and 9a.

The sheet material gathering devices 12 can, for example, be a Received sheet material product (signature) 17 from the bottomless feeder 9a and thereafter a sheet material product 17 from each of the feeders 9 during one Circulation of an assembly facility 12. After completion of a circulation at the A variety of feeders 9 is a compilation of Sheet material products 17 in the sheet material collating device 12 collected.

Each sheet material gathering device 12 comprises a drive roller 11 which on a drive shaft 11.1 is attached which drives a belt 13. The respective top Lines 20 of the belts 13 form the bottom of the bottomless feed devices 9, as in FIG U.S. Patent 4,988,086, which is incorporated herein by reference. The A plurality of bottomless feed devices 9 comprise a rectangular one Sidewall assembly 16 in which there are stacks 15 of sheet material 17 around which moving sheet material collators 12 to be fed.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a sheet material collator with a upper and a lower section, the upper section being in one closed state.

Each sheet material gathering device 12 has an upper one Compilation section 12.1 and a lower binding section 12.2. The upper Compilation section 12.1 comprises a pair of side frames 21, between which the Bands 13 are arranged. The belts 13 have respective upper paths 20 which form the temporary bottom of the bottomless feeders 9 when a Sheet material product 17 is received from a stack 15 which is between the Sidewall assembly 16 is located. The belts 13 rotate around a guide roller 22 and one further guide roller 23 which have different diameters. The tapes 13 will driven by the drive rollers 11 (see FIG. 1) which are on a drive shaft 11.1 are attached. Thus, when moving the sheet material collator 12 in the direction 14 the tapes 13 in an opposite Direction rotated, as indicated by arrow 19 in Fig. 2. In this way they form upper belt sections 20 a temporary floor of the bottomless feed devices 9. When actuating a gripper head 26 (shown schematically) which is connected to a shaft 25 attached, a sheet material product 17 is due to a vacuum in the gripper head 26, which is provided by a vacuum line 27, and between one upper right pocket wall 33 and an upper left pocket wall 34 which transported between the side frames 21 of the sheet material gathering device 12 are arranged.

In the position shown in FIG. 2, the upper right pocket wall 33 is in the closed state. Upon receipt of a sheet material product 17 in the space between the upper left pocket wall 34 and the upper right pocket wall 33, a rear edge thereof can be retained by a suction element (not shown) which can be connected to a known vacuum source. As can be further derived from FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper right pocket wall 33 is connected to a chain 37, which has a first actuating element 35 and a second actuating element 36 for moving the upper right pocket wall 33 between a respective open and closed position includes.

The respective upper section 12.1 further comprises a guide plate 28 that together with an adjacent sheet material collating device 12 funnel-shaped input section in the upper assembly section 12.1. There is also a scraper blade 29 under the belt 13 for gently removing one Sheet material product 17 arranged from the gripper head 26 after the vacuum in the vacuum line 27 was switched off.

The sheet material gathering device 12 comprises a respective lower one Binding section 12.2, the laterally with respect to the upper assembly section 12.1 is staggered. The upper assembly section 12.1 is in an inclined position aligned, while the lower binding section 12.2 vertical to that indicated by arrow 19 indicated direction of travel of the belt is aligned. The upper right pocket wall 33 is either via a cam arrangement or by a pneumatic device a release position 43 moves (Fig. 4d). So that can be between the top left Pocket wall 34 and the upper right pocket wall 33 collated Compilation after one circulation of the sheet material collating devices 12 past the feeders 9 past a lower binding section entry zone 45 are transferred (Fig. 4a) to be moved into the lower binding section 12.2 become. The respective vertical alignment of the lower binding section 12.2 favors the compiled in the lower binding section 12.2 binding work to be carried out.

Fig. 3 shows a sectional view of a sheet material assembly device with a upper assembly section 12.1 and a lower binding section 12.2. The upper Compilation section 12.1 is in a transfer position for transfer a compiled compilation on the lower binding section 12.2.

When a complete circulation is completed, a sheet material compilation is created 46 (Fig. 4a) between an upper left pocket wall 34 and an upper right Pocket wall 33 collected. In the step shown in Fig. 3 a sheet material assembly in a position to leave the upper one Compilation section pocket 12.1 and for entering the entrance 45 of a lower one Binding section 12.2.

As shown in Fig. 3, the pocket walls 33, 34 with the chain 37 of Actuators 35, 36 connected. Thus, both pocket walls 33, 34 in the Release position moved. At the same time, the various sheet material products 17 form a complete compilation 46, which is due to gravity in the respective binding sections 12.2 of the sheet material collating device 12 moves.

After handing over of the gathering and binding line during the previous round compiled compilation 46 in the respective lower binding section 12.2 in a further round a further compilation between the upper one left pocket wall 34 and the upper right pocket wall 33 are collected.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a sheet material assembler in FIG various stages, the compilation device having an upper one Has assembly section and a lower binding section, and a transfer a first compilation of an upper one Compilation section shows a lower binding section.

The belt drive components, i.e. belt 13, guide rollers 22, 23, are schematic in FIG. 4 shown.

The different levels that a defined sheet material assembly facility 12 during a cycle are shown in FIG.

The stack 15 of sheet material products 17 is from a sidewall assembly 16 in surrounded the feeder 9. In the step shown in Fig. 4a, a Sheet material product 17 from a bottomless feed device 9 a collected compilation 46 fed. In Fig. 4a Sheet material product 17 fed to a compiled compilation 46 which between the upper left pocket wall 34 and the upper right pocket wall 33 is held to complete compilation 46. In the lower one Binding section 12.2 becomes a compilation 47 of a release element 49 held, which is rotatably mounted about an axis 49.1. The compilation was 47 during a previous revolution of the sheet material gathering device 12 the bottomless feeders 9 collected over.

In Fig. 4b, the same sheet material assembly device 12 has Continuous path 4 moves along, the compilation 47 is in vertical alignment and is now exposed to the binding process. So the back turns 50 the compilation 47 is exposed by pivoting the release element 49 away. Now material is removed from the back 50 to the back 50 of the Compilation 47 before applying an adhesive to the back 50 prepare while assembling 46 in the top assembling section 12.1 is recorded and 46 sheets are fed to the compilation can. During the removal of material from the back 50 of the compilation 47 the assembly 47 clamped between the side walls 51, 52. The material is removed from the back by a suitable tool of a known type, such as for example a notching or roughening device. The side wall 52 can on the Sidewall 51 are moved to clamp the assembly 47. To Application of the adhesive to the back 50 is intended to include the assembly 47 to provide an envelope and this to the adhesive on the back 50 to Fasten.

When the assembly 47 is removed from the lower binding section 12.2 Compilation 46 in the upper assembly section 12.1 by the upper right Pocket wall 33 held as shown in Fig. 4c.

The compilation 47 is taken from the lower binding section 12.2 by the wall 52 is moved from the clamping position. This allows the compilation fall out of the binding section 12.2 with the envelope attached to it. After this done, the back panels (front and back) can be put together if desired, or the envelope can already be folded his. The compilation 47 is now for bundling the compilation 47 in Shipping order with other compilations ready. These bundles can different trimming and shipping lines are transferred. In the event that no additional trimming is required, the compilation 47 can directly one suitable shipping line.

After the stage shown in FIG. 4c, the release element 49 is closed, as in FIG. 4d shown. This creates a closed pocket between the respective side walls 51, 52 and the closed release element 49 are formed. After that, the top right Pocket wall 33 moved to the release position (see Fig. 3 and Fig. 4d), whereby the collated compilation 46 released previously from the top right pocket wall 33 and the bottom of the upper collating section 44 was arrested. The compiled compilation 46 then fails Gravity in the lower section 12.2.

After the upper right pocket wall 33 has been pivoted back into its starting position, as shown in FIG. 4e, a new combination can be gathered in the upper collecting section 12.1 during a subsequent circulation of the sheet material collecting device 12 along the continuous path 4. In the stage shown in Fig. 4e, while new sheet material products 17 are being assembled in the upper assembly section 12.1, binding work can be performed on the lower edge 50 of the assembly 46 after the release member 49 has been moved away and the back 50 of the vertically oriented assembly is exposed. To clamp the assembly 46, the wall 52 can be moved with respect to the side wall 51.

As can be seen, the present invention eliminates delivery of the Compilations 46, 47 to another machine. A transfer takes place only between an upper and a lower portion of a sheet material gathering device 12, whereby the handover can be achieved in a controlled manner, the possible Traffic jams prevented. The transfer could take place over an extended number of cycles, so that the handover can proceed slowly and in a controlled manner. A new compilation can be collected in the compilation section 12.1 while on the Compilation in the assembly section 12.2 binding work are carried out.

It can also be assumed that in FIG. 4 the wall 34 is not the same as in FIGS. 2 and 3 moved with the wall 33. In this case the wall 33 may have a device which partially surrounds the compilation in the upper compilation section 12.1, so that when the wall 33 is to pass a compilation to the lower one Binding section 12.2 moves, the wall 33 with the compiled the wall 33 pulls along. In addition, the guide rollers 22, 23 and the belts in Fig. 4 13 is shown in an opposite orientation to that shown in FIG. The 4 is purely schematic.

Also in Fig. 4b, the walls 51, 52 as the lower edge (back 50) of the Compilation 47 finally shown. Most preferred would be a degree in Walls just before the back 50, so that part of the compilation 47 among the Walls 51, 52 can protrude. This makes it easier to work on the exposed one Back 50 with roughening or notching devices and the application of an adhesive and an envelope on his back 50.
