Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a Book block for books, brochures or the like connected printed sheets in an order via a feeder, astride with the downward facing Side panels on one with a right angle to the fold of the Sheet arranged stapling device cooperating feeder accelerated transferred to this after Arrive aligned with the stapling position and at the stapling device for sewing with another printed sheet to a book block be transferred.
  • Such processes are known to be carried out on thread sewing machines.
  • the printed sheets following one another astride in the direction of their fold with side parts directed downward are fed from a feeder to a loading device.
  • the transfer to the loading device is carried out by two strands of adjacent circumferential traction means, for example flat belts, which form a conveyor line to accelerate a printing sheet and brake it, and which accelerate the printing sheet on one side part and ends at an end of the conveyor line formed by a stop.
  • the feed device designed for astride the printing sheets is in a starting position aligned with the feed conveyor for this process.
  • a stapling device is arranged at right angles to the loading device or to the fold of a printed sheet lying on the latter, and is loaded with these printed sheets.
  • the loading device has a staple saddle that can be pivoted into the stapling position of the stapling device, on which the printed sheet is aligned, aligned with the stapling resp. Sewing position in the stitching device.
  • the side parts of the printed sheets are still spread apart, so that the fold on the inner edge can be pre-pierced by knocking needles in preparation for the sewing process.
  • the stitching saddle remains in the stitching position and the transfer of the next printing sheet can only take place when the stitching saddle assumes its starting position in which the next printed sheet can be fed to it.
  • the transfer of the printed sheets from the feed conveyor and the loading of the stapling device are carried out isochronously.
  • the aim of the invention is therefore the processing cycle a thread sewing machine during the transfer the printed sheet on the loading device and sewing the press sheet in the stapler to improve reliability and to use quality resp. this process more fluid to design.
  • the intended aim is to be achieved in that the loading device is moved towards the stapling device in the stapling position before the arrival of a printed sheet.
  • the time saved in this process can be used to reduce the speed or to improve reliability while maintaining production output or to increase the latter.
  • a stationary or movable stop could, for example, form the booklet position of the printed sheet on the loading device or a booklet saddle.
  • one is fed to the loading device Print sheet after passing the rear end in the feed direction the loading device through this towards the stapling device emotional.
  • the saddle is advantageous by one for folding a printed sheet parallel axis on the loading device can be pivoted driven mounted, so that an oscillating Swivel movement can be realized.
  • the loading device could be straight be trained.
  • the loading device forming the saddle is also preferred can be pivoted parallel to the pivot axis of the saddle powered driven, making a simple, space-saving Drive device can arise.
  • One of the tacking saddle and the loading device is expedient assigned swivel drive with a control device connected, which allows the processing cycle concerned after the processing cycle of a thread sewing machine perform.
  • control device for changing the Swiveling movements of the saddle and the loading device adjustable resp. be adjustable.
  • the saddle on the Move to the stapling position of the stapler from the loading device is controlled to be liftable, i.e. the loading device on the way to the stapler across the street is controlled after the saddle; being the control can advantageously be adjustable depending on the format.
  • the two-piece feeder allows them to controlled traceable to the starting position in front of the saddle can be, so that a next printed sheet is taken early can be.
  • the printed sheets 2 intended for a book block are delivered to the feed conveyor 1 shown in FIGS. 1a to 1i, they are loosely combined into book blocks in a collating machine and then separated into a magazine of a print sheet feeder upstream of the feed conveyor 1 (not evident) transferred.
  • This process is known and is not part of the present method or the device proposed for its implementation; this well-known process as well as the principles of thread sewing can be found in the relevant literature, for example printed matter or "industrial bookbinding" by Liebau / Heinze, Verlagp + Hydr.
  • the printed sheets 2 are straddled on the feed conveyor 1 and transported in cycles in the direction of conveyance F by a continuous traction element 3, shown in dash-dotted lines, to which carriers 4 are fastened.
  • a loading device 5 also known as a push-in device, which adjoins the feed conveyor 1 in the direction of conveyance F and is designed in the form of a gable roof in cross section, detects and transports the printed sheet 2 arriving from the feed conveyor 1 by means of an acceleration device 6, which is formed by two adjacent, rotating conveyor belts 7 is in a stapling position, which corresponds to the stapling position of the printing sheet in a stapling device 8 arranged on the side of the loading device 5.
  • an acceleration device 6 which is formed by two adjacent, rotating conveyor belts 7 is in a stapling position, which corresponds to the stapling position of the printing sheet in a stapling device 8 arranged on the side of the loading device 5.
  • the stitching device 8 is shown schematically in individual figures by two sewing needles 9, 10 - usually a piercing needle and a hook needle form a pair of sewing needles - and the sewing process is described, for example, in EP-B-0 537 106 and 0 603 126.
  • the loading device 5 Before the printed sheet 2 on the loading device 5 has reached the final stapling position, for example in the position according to FIG. 1b, the loading device 5 begins to move into the stapling position on the front side of the printed sheets sewn into book blocks 11.
  • the printed sheet 2 has at least approximately reached the stapling position on the loading device 5; the position of the loading device 5 has changed due to the approach to the stapling device 8.
  • the approach to the stapling device 8 was caused by a pivoting movement of the loading device 5 about the axis 12, which runs parallel to the conveying direction F; the changed position of the frame 13 of the loading device compared to FIG. 1b illustrates FIG. 1c.
  • a conveying section which is at the front in the feed direction of the printing sheets 2 and is designed as a saddle 14 that can be lifted out of the loading device 5, is activated and moves the printing sheet 2 into the stapling position according to FIG. 1d.
  • the saddle 14 can be recognized by the changed position in FIG. 1d, the pivot axis 12 of the loading device 5 simultaneously forming the pivot axis of the saddle 14 in the embodiment shown, the frame 15 of which indicates the changed position of the saddle 14.
  • the saddle 14 is part of the loading device 5 not yet arrived at rest, printed sheet 2.1, however, has the saddle of the loading device 5 reached.
  • the printing sheet 2.1 from the accelerator 6 recorded and in the booklet position on the Stitch saddle 14 offset. This process creates between Sheet 2.1 and the following sheet 2.2 on the feed conveyor a larger distance, which proves to be a time saver (see Fig. 1h).
  • the printed sheet 2 press to the stapling position on the saddle 14 Hold-down device 16 favors the sewing process for optimal Connection of the printed sheets in the book block 11.
  • FIGS. 2a to 2f are schematic cross-sectional representations the processing steps shown in Figs. 1a to 1h illustrated. 2a and 2b correspond to the positions according to Fig. 1a respectively. 1b resp. Approximately 1c; in Fig. 2c is approximately the situation according to the fig. 1d and 1e shown; Fig. 2d illustrates the one drawn in Fig. 1f Position; Fig. 2e corresponds to Fig. 1g and Fig. 2f holds the situation according to Fig. 1h.
