Definitions

  • the invention relates to a compression folder with two or three folding pockets, with several folding rollers, in one folding unit block detachable from the machine frame and with one outside of the folder block arranged drive, the folder block on its one side has a sheet inlet and on the opposite Side has a sheet outlet and where the sheets to the folder block over transport devices fed along an inlet plane in the direction of paper travel and along an outlet plane in the same Direction are transported away.
  • the folding pockets are permanently installed in the paper running direction.
  • Two fold pocket configurations are possible, namely the first fold pocket at the bottom and the second fold pocket at the top and vice versa in the direction of paper travel.
  • the first folding pocket is arranged below or above, there are different folding options. If such folding units with two folding pockets are used on inserting machines or similar machines, the form must have a certain position after leaving the folding unit. If, for example, the inserting machine provides the envelope with the window on top, the form must be folded so that the address behind the folder is on the top, otherwise an additional device for turning the form would be necessary.
  • an upsetting folder could be used, which has one folding pocket and one pair of folding rollers more than folds are required in the relevant form, i.e. for folding a form with two folds, an upsetting folder with three folding pockets and for folding a form with three folds , a compression folder with four folding pockets.
  • One of the folding pockets can then be switched off by suitable switches and the form can be folded so that the address after the folding unit is either up or down.
  • the larger number of folding pockets and folding rollers creates additional costs and sources of error as well as cycle time losses due to the lengthening of the running distance in the folding unit.
  • a paper folding machine is also known (DE-PS 517 549) in which one of the folding rollers is movably mounted, so that you can choose with two different other folding rollers can work together and also have a the folding pockets from one machine side to the other is feasible. In this way, one can choose either opposite Produce directional folds, however, lies Sheet outlet depending on the position of the movable folding roller and the convertible folding pocket either on the inlet side of the bend or on the opposite side of the inlet side Page.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object Compression folder with two or three folding pockets at the beginning mentioned type to create which is inexpensive is producible and so convertible with little effort is that with him the different mentioned above Folds can be made.
  • the Inlet level and the outlet level of the transport devices arranged essentially in a common plane are that the folding rollers and folding pockets in Folding unit block are arranged so that the sheet inlet and the sheet outlet in the respective installation position of the folder in the machine frame in Area of this common level is that all folding rollers in the folder block via coupling gearwheels one end of each folding roller is arranged, are coupled in terms of drive that the Drive is arranged in the machine frame and in the area of the folder block is stored in the machine frame Has drive gear, which is in a first installation position of the folder block with one of the coupling gearwheels combs, and that one of the folding rollers on her the other end carries an output gear, which in a second installation position of the folder block, in which compared to its first installation position by one imaginary running parallel to the direction of the paper Axis rotated through 180 ° inserted into the machine frame is meshing with the drive gear.
  • the invention is therefore based on the idea of installing one and the same folding block in the machine frame in two different installation positions rotated by 180 ° with respect to one another.
  • the first folding pocket below and the second folding pocket above and in a second installation position of the folder block are arranged, so that depending on the installation position of the folder block in the machine frame, different folds of the paper sheet or form can be generated.
  • the sheet infeed and sheet outfeed of the folder block are arranged in the same common plane as the entry level and the exit level, regardless of the respective installation position, it is not necessary to adjust the transport devices upstream and downstream of the upsetting folder when the folder block is 180 ° in both of them twisted installation positions in the machine frame.
  • the only changeover measure is to detach the folder block from the machine frame, turn it through 180 °, reinsert it into the machine frame and screw it there.
  • the drive gear mounted in the machine frame depending on the installation position of the folder block, meshes with either one of the coupling gears or with the driven gear arranged on the other side of the folder block, no further assembly work is required to connect the drive to one of the folding rollers.
  • the output gear can be assigned to one of these four folds in such a way that reversing the direction of rotation of the drive motor is not necessary in order to drive the folding rollers in the correct direction of rotation regardless of the respective installation position of the folder block.
  • this Machine frame positioning devices on, by means of which the folder unit in its two installation positions can be positioned in relation to the machine frame is that the sheet inlet and outlet are in the common plane and the drive gear alternately with one of the coupling gears or the output gear meshes.
  • the upsetting folder has a machine frame 1 and one of this detachable folder block 2.
  • Positioning device provided in the form of guides 3, into which the folder block can be inserted from above is.
  • screws 4 can be provided.
  • the folder block 2 has lateral bearing plates 2a on, which are connected to each other via cross struts 2b are.
  • the one shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 The embodiment is still a folding roller 9 provided.
  • the one shown in Figures 1-6 Embodiment has the folder block 2 two Folding pockets 11, 12, while in the case of FIG and 8 shown embodiment, a third Folding pocket 13 is present.
  • the folder block In front of the folder block is one through two transport rollers 14 for example indicated transport device provided with the the sheets of paper to be folded, e.g. printed forms F1 or F2 (see Figures 2a and 5a), the folder block are fed along an inlet plane E. Behind the folder unit 2 is a further transport device, which is indicated by rollers 15, provided with which the folded forms along one Outlet level A can be transported further.
  • the entry level E and outlet level A are essentially in a common plane M-M arranged.
  • the folding rollers 5 - 8 or 5 - 9 and the folding pockets 11, 12 or 11 - 13 are arranged in the folder 2 so that also its sheet inlet 16 and its sheet outlet 17 in the respective installation position of the folder block 2 in the machine frame in the area of this common level M-M lie. At sheet inlet 16 or Sheet outlet 17 are also provided baffles 18, 19.
  • the direction of paper travel is indicated by the arrows P indicated.
  • the folding roller 8 has an output gear at its other end 26, which is in the second installation position of the folder block 2, as shown in Figures 4 and 6 is engaged in the drive gear 25.
  • the folding rollers without changing the direction of rotation of the drive motor 24 is turned over, according to Figure 4 driven in the direction indicated by arrows.
  • the person skilled in the art can readily do that Find out the folding roller that he the output gear 26th must assign so that it is in both installation positions of the Folder the direction of rotation of the drive motor 24 can maintain.
  • the output gear of the folding roller 6 be assigned when the drive gear 25 is arranged so that it is in the first installation position meshes with the coupling gear 22 and in the second Installation position of the folder block 2 with the then the output gear assigned to the folding roller 6.
  • the folder block an imaginary one that runs across the common plane Rotate the axis by 180 ° to get it from its one installation position in its other installation position.
  • the output gear would have to be another Folding roller can be assigned.
