Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for folding Signatures according to the preamble of claims 1 and 9.
- a material web e.g. B. a paper web
- Folders can have certain desired types of folds in a finished printed product be generated.
- a cutting unit is also provided, in which the web in cut individual signatures. Often, both the train as a whole and the signatures cut from the web.
- a folder which a first folding device for Forming a first fold in a web of material along its path.
- This The first fold is created by passing the web over a triangular, stationary former guided and then passed between a pair of pull rollers, so that the fold is fixed.
- the web is signed on a cutting cylinder cut, which are then fed from a folding knife cylinder to a folding jaw cylinder become.
- a folding knife of the folding knife cylinder pushes the signature into a folding flap of the jaw cylinder, so that a second fold running transverse to the first fold is formed.
- the signatures are then fed to a third folding device. This includes a band arrangement that captures the signatures and through the third Folded device transported.
- the belt arrangement runs in the third folding device straightforward.
- two stationary hoppers are provided on the sides of the belts, which contact the sides of the signature entering the third folder. These formers converge at an angle to the tapes so that the Outer edge portions of the signature are directed upwards and in this way the third fold is formed.
- the first folder of the above. Writing has the disadvantage that it is difficult or even difficult cannot be used to fold signatures at all; a train has to cross the The former is guided.
- a disadvantage of the second folding device is that many moving parts are necessary, and the disadvantage of the third folding device is a complicated construction in which a large number of bands different Length are required.
- sword folding device For a printing press that runs at top speed, usually more than one is required known sword folding device can be provided. Therefore, the signature stream in divided and slowed down in many cases, for which purpose additional devices such as Deflection devices, braking sections and merging devices are necessary. This Additional devices increase the risk of irregularities in the folding process, since the Signatures can be handled by different devices and exactly in theirs Position must be held.
- an inventive device for folding signatures comprises a first one Transport device for transporting a first part of a signature and one next to it the second transport device arranged to the Transporting a second part of the signature, the second transport device with respect to the first transport device in such a way that the second Part of the signature is moved in the direction of the first part of the signature.
- the first and second transport devices preferably comprise belts that cover the capture each part of the signature from above and below.
- the signature is in the area between the first part and the second part moved upwards, so that a fold is formed.
- the folding device preferably further comprises one or more guides, in which the signatures after leaving the first and second transport device break in.
- the folded signature can, for example can be transported by a variety of vertical conveyor belts.
- the folding device preferably further comprises tapes that are vertical form a running gap into which the fold of the signatures runs and which fix the fold.
- the second transport device can comprise an inclined belt section, which is followed by a straight band section, the straight Band section is preferably arranged upstream of the guide.
- the sloping belt section preferably runs at a somewhat higher speed than the first transport device. In this way, the first part and the second Part of the signature during the formation of the fold at the same speed in move in the same direction.
- the method according to the invention for folding signatures provides that a first part a signature is transported in a first direction and a second part of the signature in a second direction is transported, the second direction being in the first direction runs too sloping so that a fold forms in the signature.
- the fold between a pair of pull rollers is passed through, which forms a band gap. After transporting the signature it can also be moved via a guide.
- the transport of the second part of the signature is preferably carried out with something higher speed than transporting the first part.
- the transport is preferably carried out by means of belts that the respective part of the Capture signature from above and below.
- the present invention relates to a simplified device and a simplified one Procedure for folding signatures.
- the moving parts of the devices can be designed as simple tapes. No complicated mechanisms are necessary.
- the folding process even at high Speed can be carried out exactly without using a sword folding mechanism.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective top view of a folding device 1 for folding signatures 2.
- the signature 2 is fed from a first belt drive 3 to the folding device 1, where it is received by a first transport device 15 and a second transport device 16 such that the signature part A is received by the second transport device 16 and the signature part B by the first transport device 15 .
- the arrow 18 indicates the direction of movement of the first transport device 15. 2, which shows the lower section of the folding device 1, it becomes clear that the second transport device 16 comprises a first straight belt section 20 and a lower, obliquely running second belt section 21, which moves in the direction of the arrow 22, and a second straight band section 23 which moves in the direction of arrow 24.
- the arrows 18, 24 and 26 and the tape running direction 20 are all parallel to one another.
- the first transport device 15 comprises a belt 25 which extends in the direction of the arrow 26 moves, which corresponds to the direction of arrow 18.
- the first transport device 15 also includes an upper band, not shown for reasons of clarity, the the top of the signature part B captured while the signature 2 by the first Transport device 15 is guided. In this way, the signature part B is secure detected and guided in the direction indicated by arrow 26.
- the second transport device 16 comprises an oblique one extending upper belt section 30, which a first roller 31, a second roller 32, a includes third roller 33 and a fourth roller 34. Between the first and second rollers 31, 32 are retractable belts 35 between the second and third rollers 32, 33 non-retractable belts 36 and between the third and fourth rollers are others retractable tapes 37 arranged. All of these bands 35, 36, 37 run at an angle the first transport device 15 so that it, like the lower belt section 21, into the Walk towards 22.
- the upper band section 30 is usually directly above the lower band section 21 arranged.
- the first, straight lower band section 20 is accordingly at a distance 40 arranged to band 25.
- the signature part A one on the tape section 21 and the first transport device 15 transported signature is by the retractable Pass tapes 35 immediately to the sloping tape section 21.
- the sloping band sections 21 and 30 then move the Signature part A towards signature part B, since the sloping band section 21 in position 43 approximates band 25.
- position 43 is the distance between the belts 21 and 25 less than the distance 40.
- the second straight belt section 23 is also arranged at a distance 41 from the band 25, the distance 41 is preferably smaller than the distance 40.
- a part of the signature parts B moves within the first Transport device 15 in the direction 26.
- a part of the signature parts A is between the inclined belt portions 21 and 30 in the direction 22 that with respect to the (parallel to each other) directions 26 and 18. To this A fold 50 is thus created between the two signature parts A and B that are guided.
- All belts run on rollers that are driven by motors. However, the tape sections 21 and 30 are moved somewhat faster than the tape 25, so that the signature part A is moved in the direction 18 at the same speed as the signature part B is moved in the direction 26. If x is the angle between the direction 22 and the direction 26 and v is the speed of the belt 25, the belts 22 and 30 run at a speed which is approximately v / cos x .
- the folds 50 After the folds 50 have been formed, they can be fixed by a fixing device 60 comprising a band 61 and a band 62.
- the fold 50 can against the band 61st run, which moves at the same speed as the belt 25, and is in one gap 63 formed between the belt 61 and the belt 62 moves. This gap 63 supports the fixation of the fold 50.
- the first and second Transport device 15, 16 signature 2 running out through the belts 61 and 62 further transports and runs into a former area 70, which here as a static Leadership is shown.
- This static guidance completes the fold by doing the Sections A and B of the signature 2 guided over the static guide against one another presses.
- the folded signature After leaving the folding area 70, the folded signature can be used by others Conveyor belts 80 are transported.
- first and second transport devices comprise belts
- other types of transport devices can also be provided which provide a firm grasp of signatures, for example a series of closely adjacent ones Rollers.
- the device which was referred to here as the first transport device, must but also not be designed as a single device that runs straight, but can e.g. B. comprise a first and a second section, which in one different angles are arranged. Both transport devices can e.g. B. in its second section to run obliquely on a central axis.
- oblique So means that one of the transport devices is relative to the other runs obliquely.
- the belts for transporting the first part B and / or the second part A of the signatures 2 are formed by suction tapes, as they are e.g. B. from investors of sheet-fed rotary printing presses are known.
