Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conveyor device for collecting and / or stapling printed sheets, with at least one endless and flexible conveyor line on which to convey Press sheets at intervals one after the other a plurality of Drivers are arranged and a saddle-shaped pad has, on which the printed sheets between two Carriers lie astride and one behind each Carrier abuts a rear edge of the sheet.
  • Conveyors of this type are for example from the EP 0 881 180 A has become known to the applicant.
  • Disclosed are a simple chain and a so-called for a conveyor system Double chain.
  • the simple chain points in the same Distances one behind the other pointing upwards in a finger shape Driver and drives between in a transfer area the two strands of a double chain.
  • the double chain points also drivers in succession at equal intervals on, but here each of two laterally protruding Wings exist.
  • Conveying devices are also known, which only have a double chain for collecting and stapling.
  • Such conveyors are usually so-called Sheet feeders are fed, two each one Have conveyor drums downstream opening drums and with which the printed sheets from above onto the conveyor be filed.
  • the conveyor and matched investors so that the printed sheets between two successive carriers be dropped.
  • the rear driver detects the discarded printed sheet at the rear edge and takes it on the conveyor with. At high conveyor speeds is this discarding or dropping the printed sheets extremely critical. This is especially true for printed sheets thin paper.
  • the printed sheets transported on the conveyor are processed further, for example with an ink jet device labeled.
  • This can range from a simple one Chain or in the area of a subsequent double chain. In the area of the double chain, for example to be stapled.
  • the object is achieved in a generic conveyor device in that the drivers are movably arranged on the conveyor line and are adjustable in each case between an essentially upward and a substantially laterally projecting position.
  • the conveyor device according to the invention thus has drivers which can assume at least two different positions. In one position, the drivers are directed upwards, leaving the space to the side of the conveyed printed products free. This position is particularly suitable for the lateral processing of the printed products, for example for addressing by an ink jet device. In the second position, in which the drivers protrude laterally, the space above the ridge of the conveyor device is free. This position is suitable, for example, in the area of the feeders, which can thereby lay close to the ridge of the conveyor device.
  • This position can also be advantageous if, for example, thin printed sheets are to be conveyed which are to be supported broadly by the driver.
  • the drivers can thus be placed in the position in which optimal processing is possible. Otherwise, the drivers can be attached to a single chain or to a double chain.
  • the positions can be adjusted simply and securely if, according to a further development of the invention, the drivers are each pivotably mounted on the conveyor line transversely to the conveying direction. Stable positions result particularly when the drivers are held in the set position by a holding force, for example spring force. When changing the position, only the holding force has to be overcome.
  • a holding force for example spring force.
  • the drivers two parts each, in one position essentially run parallel to each other and vertically above and which are in a different position in protrude in opposite directions from the conveyor line. These two parts can then be similar to the wing of a butterfly swung up or down become.
  • a reversing device This has, for example, two rods which are arranged such that the two parts mentioned are pivoted upward from the open position into the closed position.
  • the opening can take place, for example, by means of a wedge, onto which the two parts move and are pivoted laterally and downwards.
  • Such reversing devices can be implemented in a comparatively simple manner and a plurality of such stations can also be arranged one behind the other along a conveying device.
  • the conveyor device 1 according to FIGS. 6 and 7 is a double chain with two strands 2 and 3 running parallel to one another. It is endless and placed around chain wheels (not shown here).
  • the two strands 2 and 3 each have a link chain 4, on which the riders 5 are detachably latched.
  • the riders 5 are held, for example, by the bolts 7 of the link chains 4.
  • the riders 5 form a roof-shaped arrangement with a ridge A, which is indicated in FIG. 6 with a broken line.
  • Two opposite riders 5a each form a carrying device for a driver 8, which consists of two parts 8a and 8b.
  • Each part 8a or 8b engages in a slot 6 of a rider 5a and has an axis 15 in a lower region which is mounted on the rider 5a at both ends thereof.
  • the parts 8a and 8b can thus be pivoted about the corresponding axis 15. These parts are slidably guided in the slot 6.
  • FIG. 6 shows a position of the driver at the bottom right 8, in which the two parts 8a and 8b laterally protrude.
  • Each part 8a or 8b engages a tension spring 18 at one end at a distance from the axis 15 on part 8a or 8b and with the other end on one of the Rider 5a is attached.
  • the springs 18 are attached that they are excited when the parts 8a and 8b are folded up become.
  • the springs 18 thus stabilize the parts 8a and 8b in the position shown at the bottom right in FIG. 7 and FIG. 6.
  • the tension springs shown here can also be used Leaf springs or also be replaced by magnets.
  • FIG. 6 shows the second position of a driver at the top left 8, in which the parts 8a and 8b directed upwards and with an upper end each the ridge line A tower over. From this position are parts 8a and 8b again in the position shown at the bottom right in FIG. 6 pivotable. Again, parts 8a and 8b are each pivoted about an axis 15. The position in which the both parts 8a and 8b protrude upwards, too stabilized by the tension springs 18.
  • FIG. 7 shows in section a driver 8 in one Position and in view a driver in the other position.
  • a printed sheet 12 is also shown here astride the conveyor 1. Is moving now the conveyor 1 in Figure 7 perpendicular to the plane of the drawing from top to bottom, so the printed sheet 12 promoted by the driver 8 shown here in section.
  • parts 8a and 8b are located at a distance from a fold 12a on the printed sheet 12. This makes possible a wide support stabilizing the printed sheet 12.
  • a control device 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 which has two stations 10a and 10b.
  • the station 10a has two rods 11, which are arranged laterally next to the conveyor device 1 and have a control region 11a, onto which the drivers 8 run up and are pivoted when the conveyor device 1 is moved in the direction of the arrow 19.
  • the other station 10b is arranged above the ridge A and is wedge-shaped in such a way that the parts 8a and 8b each run onto lateral control surfaces 21 and are pivoted sideways downwards.
  • the stations 10a and 10b are adjustable and of course positioned so that the drivers 8 each take the advantageous position in the intended area.
  • An embodiment is also conceivable in which a plurality of stations 10a and 10b are provided. Other means known in the industry are also possible with which the drivers 8 can be reversed.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a simple collection chain 1 ', thus only one strand 9 with a link chain 4 having.
  • the tabs 5 ' are in one piece here and also detachably snapped onto the link chain 4.
  • Show tab 5a ' also a transverse slot 6 'on, in which the drivers 8 'engage and are pivotably guided therein are.
  • Figures 3, 4 and 5 show cross sections through the conveyor 1, the figure 3 the one position of a Driver 8 and Figure 4 another position Driver 8 'shows.
  • FIG. 4 clearly shows, in the position of the driver 8 'shown here, the lateral one Free space, while in the position of Figure 3 the Space above the fold 12a is free.
  • the position according to Figure 4 is therefore particularly suitable for addressing while in the position of Figure 3, an investor, not shown here can be brought close to the ridge line A.
  • the shown Positions of the driver 8 are by a tension spring 13 stabilized, this only according to FIG. 5 on the part 8a 'attacks.
  • the part 8b ' is with a toothing 14 a corresponding toothing of part 8a 'in connection, such that the two parts 8a 'and 8b' are forcibly the same but opposite pivoting movement exercise.
  • the control device 10 can be easier be carried out, since here only one of the two Parts 8a 'or 8b' must be controlled.
  • the two parts are always pivoted synchronously to each other.
  • the two parts 8a 'and 8b' are essentially finger-shaped.
  • other broader or longer versions are also conceivable here.
  • an embodiment is also conceivable in which the catches 8 have only a part. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 4 and 5, part 8a 'or 8b' would then be omitted.
  • Figure 5 shows a cross section through the conveyor 1 with the drivers 8 'swung out, so that the Space above the fold 12a is free.
