Definitions

  • the innovation concerns a feed table for the application of sheets to one sheet processing machine, especially a printing machine, the sheet can be fed from a sheet feeder in an approximately horizontal feed plane and which is inclined with respect to the feed plane, being approximately over the area a deflection roller at the kink between the feed level and the feed table is arranged through the sheet from the feed plane into the plane of the Feed tables are deflectable.
  • the task of the innovation is therefore a feed table of the type mentioned
  • a wide variety of arches, especially for arches with high rigidity is suitable and safely deflects all bends as well as the feed table to exact further transport.
  • this object is achieved in that several deflection rollers are provided.
  • the deflection rollers are spaced perpendicularly to the plane of the feed table and are adjustable, and are arranged in the form of a curve that runs approximately tangentially against the plane of the feed table.
  • the deflection rollers used in the arrangement are freely rotatable, so that there are no grinding marks on the sheet due to a deflection roller.
  • a simple design is achieved in that the deflecting roller is designed as a relatively narrow deflecting wheel and is arranged on the free end of a height-adjustable holder.
  • a guiding of the sheets over a longer section is achieved and a rocking of the rear end of the sheet is largely avoided if the deflection wheels are arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction, with preferably all deflection wheels being freely rotatable. If the deflection wheels are arranged at a distance from one another and are mutually rotatably mounted on the holder as a common support, the contours of the deflection wheels overlapping one another, a secure contact of each sheet on all deflection wheels can thus be ensured, so that each sheet is securely placed on the feed table or on a conveyor belt guided over the feed table. For safe deflection of the sheets, it is used if several holders with deflection wheels are arranged next to one another transversely to the conveying direction.
  • the feed table shown in the figure has a table surface 1, at the ends of which are arranged in the conveying direction 2, belt rollers 3, over which endless conveyor belts 4 are guided.
  • the conveyor belts 4 can be driven by one of the belt rollers 3 and transport sheets in the conveying direction 2 to a printing press.
  • the sheets B at the higher end of the inclined feed table are fed approximately horizontally above the surface forming a feed plane 5 from a sheet stack of a sheet feeder.
  • Tiltable stops 6 can be provided on the feed side, which are only indicated here. These stops 6 release the sheet path from the sheet stack to the belt roll 3.
  • the forward movement of the sheet to the feed table is brought about by conveyor rollers (not shown here) which can be adjusted cyclically on the belt roller.
  • the sheet B is clamped between the belt roller 3 and the conveyor rollers and moved forward by the rotation of the belt roller 3.
  • the conveyor rollers only act selectively on the belt roller 3.
  • an additional conveyor roller can Belt roller 3 can be arranged. Then the conveyor rollers work with this Conveyor roller together. The sheets B are then at the higher end of the inclined feed table from the sheet feeder over a Bridging level of the belt roll 3 fed. The bridging level then forms the feed plane 5, which is important in the invention.
  • the transfer rollers 8 consist of a common carrier 10 which is attached to a height-adjustable holder 11 is attached.
  • the transfer rollers 8 also have a number of deflection wheels 9 on which are mutually attached to the carrier 10.
  • the center distance of the Deflection wheels 9 is selected so that the contours of the deflection wheels 9 somewhat cover up. This creates a quasi on the underside of the transfer rollers 8 continuous guiding surface.
  • the deflection wheels 9 are on the carrier 10 in the direction the connection of their axes of rotation arranged approximately in an arc.
  • the conductivity of the transfer rollers 8 can be seen from the drawing. It is recognizable that the sheet B from the transfer rollers 8 from the horizontal to a oblique conveying direction is curved.
  • the sheet B lies on the Conveyor belts 4. In a preferred embodiment, these are with their Suction tapes on the underside, which hold the sheet in contact capture and hold on with a small area.
  • the representation of the position of the sheet to be guided from the figure can also for the embodiment described above with an upstream conveyor roller be accepted. Stiffer bends are also deflected safely and so directed to the suction tapes that they can grasp the sheets.
  • Conveyor rollers are the transfer rollers 8 closer to the surface of the Feed table set. Then the conductivity of the transfer rollers 8 sets in essentially immediately after the sheet B emerges between the conveyor rollers and the belt roller 3.
