14 in der Schieberplatte 12, die einerseits der Beilage
2 zugewendet und andererseits über ein Steuerventil (nicht ersichtlich)
mit einer Vakuumquelle verbunden sind. Durch ein
aufgebrachtes Vakuum haftet die unterste Beilage 2 an der
Schieberplatte 12, die im Takt der rotierenden Greifervorrichtungen
7 und in der Uebergabeposition im wesentlichen gleichsinnig
wie ihre Drehbewegung angetrieben wird. Dieser Vorgang
erfolgt in einem kontinuierlichen Ablauf, sodass die Beilage 2
anschliessend eine stabile Lage einnimmt. Der anschliessende
Weg der Beilage 2 führt an einer Haftmittelzuführeinrichtung 15
vorbei, welche das verwendete Klebemittel beim Passieren der
Beilage 2 auf diese aufträgt. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel
ist dazu eine Spritzeinrichtung vorgesehen, die den flüssigen
Klebstoff aufträgt.
Auf dem weiteren Weg verlässt die Beilage 2 die Greifertrommel
5 und wird dabei in einem von Klebstoff unbeschichteten Bereich
in eine Bandführung 16 eingespannt. Diese Bandführung 16 verbindet
den Umfang der Greifertrommel 5 mit der um eine parallele
Achse 18 rotierenden Anpressrolle 19, die nachgiebig an der
benachbarten Auflageebene der Führungsanordnung 3 ansteht, sodass
unterschiedlich dicke Druckbogen zwischen Führungsanordnung
3 und Anpressrolle 19 durchtreten können. Die Bandführung
16 bzw. Transportstrecke zwischen Greifertrommel 5 und Anpressrolle
19 wird durch zwei um jeweils mehrere Achsen umlaufende
endlose Bänder 20, 21 gebildet, die im Bereich der Bandführung
16 Rücken an Rücken aneinander anliegen. Beide Bänder 20, 21
weisen die gleiche Geschwindigkeit auf und im Sinne einer günstigen
Führung der Beilagen 2 sind sie in zweifacher Ausführung
seitlich beabstandet auf die Breite der Geifertrommel 5 ausgelegt.
Eines der umlaufenden Bänderpaare 20 liegt einerseits etwa
auf der Umlaufbahn der Greifervorrichtungen 7 am Umfang der
Greifertrommel 5 an und wird andererseits an der im Abstand angeordneten
Anpressrolle 19 erneut umgelenkt. Dabei können sich
die Bänder 20 eines Paares seitlich versetzt, unterhalb oder
ausserhalb der Greifervorrichtungen 7 befinden. Zur Meidung eines
Schlupfeffektes ist zumindest dieses Bänderpaar 20 mit der
Greifertrommel 5 formschlüssig antriebsverbunden, beispielsweise
durch Zahnriemen. Das auf dem Abschnitt der Bandführung 16
gegenüberliegende Bänderpaar 21 läuft vorzugsweise synchron angetrieben
um drei Umlenkrollenpaare 22, 23, 24 um, von denen
die Umlenkrollen 22, eine übergangslose Verbindung zur Umlaufbahn
der Beilagen 2 an den Greifervorrichtungen 7 und mit dem
Umlenkrollenpaar 23 die Bandführung 16 bilden, wobei die Umlenkrollen
23 einen relativ kleinen Durchmesser aufweisen, um
die Beilagen 2 möglichst nahe in die spaltförmige Uebergabestelle
zwischen Führungsanordnung 3 und Anpressrolle 19 einziehen
zu können. Das dritte Umlenkrollenpaar 24 dient der Bildung
einer ökonomischen Anordnungs- und Bauweise der umlaufenden
Bänder 21.
Die Drehrichtung der Geifertrommel 5 ist mit Pfeil F bezeichnet
und für die Umlaufrichtung der Bänderpaare 20, 21 sind die
Pfeile D und E zutreffend. 1 illustrates a device 1 for attaching an
A magazine 10 for
On the further path, the
The direction of rotation of the drooling drum 5 is indicated by arrow F and the arrows D and E apply to the direction of rotation of the belt pairs 20, 21.
In Fig. 2 ist die Vorrichtung 1 gemäss Fig. 1 in Kombination
mit einem Anleger 25 vereint, der als Druckbogenanleger bekannt
ist. Diese Konstruktion ist nicht geeignet, steife Beilagen 2
von einem Stapel zu vereinzeln. Die Lösung der erfindungsgemässen
Aufgabe gestattet in weiterausgestaltender Weise die Möglichkeit,
ihre vorhandene Infrastruktur mit einem Anleger 25
für biegsame Beilagen zu kombinieren. D.h., an dem vorhandenen
Gestell 4 ist bezüglich Umlaufbahn der Greifervorrichtungen 5
eine zusätzliche Trennvorrichtung 28 angeordnet, die dafür
sorgt, dass die sich jeweils zuunterst im Stapel befindende
Beilage 26 abgehoben wird, sodass sie von einer der umlaufenden
Greifervorrichtungen 7 erfasst werden kann, wobei der Erfassungsvorgang
wie bei der zugeschobenen Beilage 2 gemäss Vorrichtung
1 erfolgt. Die Trennvorrichtung 28 besteht u.a. aus
einem an einem Schwenkarm befestigten Saugkopf 29, welcher an
eine Vakuumquelle (nicht sichtbar) angeschlossen und mit den
umlaufenden Greifervorrichtungen 7 taktgleich zusammenwirkend
gesteuert ist. Fig. 2 zeigt weiterhin eine auf den Stapel der
Beilagen 26 einwirkende Ausgleichsvorrichtung 30, die entgegen
der Stapelbildungsrichtung durch Einwirken auf die Kanten der
Beilagen 26 einen Ausrichteffekt ausübt, wozu sich beispielsweise
umlaufende endlose Bänder eignen.2, the device 1 according to FIG. 1 is in combination
united with a
Der Stapel der Beilagen 26 liegt einerseits auf einer Platte 31
und andererseits auf einem taktweise zugeschalteten Rückhalter
32, der kurz vor dem Erfassen einer Beilage 26 durch den zugestellten
Saugkopf 29 kurzfristig die Stützposition verlässt, um
die unterste Beilage 26 für das Abheben durch den Saugkopf 29
freizustellen. Die vom Anleger 25 verarbeiteten Beilagen 26
werden in gleicher Weise von der Haftmittelzuführeinrichtung 15
mit einem Klebstoff besprüht und anschliessend auf die Druckbogen
an der Führungsanordnung 3 gebracht.The stack of
