Abstract

Beschrieben wird ein Verfahren und eine Anordnung zum Entfernen von Lufteinschlüssen beim Bilden von Stapeln aus Bogen, die einem zu bildenden Stapel aufeinanderfolgend zugeführt und auf ihm abgelegt werden.
Der Zweck des Verfahrens und der Anordnung besteht darin, daß zum Entfernen von Lufteinschlüssen das bekannte und praktizierte Pressen der Stapel nach ihrer Bildung zu vermeiden, und eine vorteilhaftere Herstellung von Stapeln zu ermöglichen, deren Lufteinschlüsse unterhalb der in der Praxis störenden Größe liegen, so daß die Stapel schon gleich nach ihrer Bildung ausreichend stabil sind.
Die Lösung besteht darin, daß im Zufuhrbereich der Bogen Luft aus Zwischenräumen der Bogen abgesaugt wird.
Der Vorteil der Lösung ist darin zu sehen, daß das Auftreten von Lufteinschlüssen in einem Stapel schon bei seiner Bildung vermieden wird und damit eine Nachbehandlung wie Pressen entfällt.
