Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for astride Collecting and conveying printed sheets along a collecting line, by investors arranged along the collection route loaded, a saddle-shaped support for the printed sheets and conveying device having driven drivers and at least one leg of one on the support or a printed sheet lifting guide device having.
  • Facilities of this type are used, for example, in saddlestitchers used where a stapling device on the collection line adjoined.
  • US-A-4 493 482 discloses a device of the above mentioned kind that a along the conveyor the printing sheet has a lifting device on one leg that the lifted legs go through a printing station, in which they are printed on by an inkjet printer.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the disadvantages described by an advantageous Facility provided.
  • this object is achieved in that a stop device which projects into the conveying path of the lifted leg and detects the printing sheet (s) in the conveying direction at the front edge and can be switched off by the conveyed printing sheet is arranged on the collecting section.
  • the method can be used for astride collecting and conveying printed sheets along a collection route of which several feeders are arranged, one of a saddle-shaped Support guided and attached to a rotating traction element Carriers existing conveyor in succession load with printed sheets, at least one leg of one of the Collection path of printed sheets removed from the edition held and only after acting on the front edge of the Sheet-oriented stop device on the support respectively. the printed sheets are placed on the side of the support become.
  • Printed sheets do not have a common definition, can follow the last feeder in the direction of funding Collection route along the conveying path of the collected printed sheets switchable stop device can be assigned.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show a device 1 according to the invention an excerpt shown 2, for example a saddle stitcher for astride collection and Conveying printed sheets from a saddle-shaped, drivable or fixed edition 4 and one with on a continuous revolving traction means attached driver 5 having conveyor 6 is formed.
  • 3 and 4 show a schematically illustrated embodiment of a edition 4, in which the traction means 45 is saddle-shaped and at intervals attached driver 5 has.
  • the traction device 45 which consists of a Roller chain can be formed runs on a guide web 46, which is attached to a carrier 47.
  • Farther 1 and 2 along the collecting section 2 are several Sheet feeder arranged - one of which with an arrow B is referred to - which the collecting section 2 one after the other Load printed sheets.
  • a feeder A (not shown) on the right-hand side of FIGS. 1 and 2 places a first printed sheet 3 astride the collecting section 2 and then immediately detects it on the rear edge by a driver of the conveying device.
  • feeder A can already be assigned to the push-open device according to the invention, which, however, cannot be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • Print sheet 3 has already reached the effective area of the push-open device 9, which is symbolically marked with an arrow B, and is inserted with the front edge 10 of one leg 11 between the support 4 and a guide device 12 spaced from it on one side.
  • the guide device 12 is adjustably connected to the frame 14 of the device 1 by a carrying device 13.
  • a guide bar 15 serving as a line for compressed air forms with the support a lateral guide gap 16, through which a leg 11 or more legs 11 lying one on one another are collected by the conveyor device, which have been released by the upstream investors - here investors A- 6 is transported or become.
  • the front end of the guide bar 15 in the conveying direction forms a funnel-shaped inlet opening 17 with the support 4. Behind the inlet opening 17, a protruding plate 18 is fastened to the outside of the guide bar 15, which for adjusting the height of the guide bar 15 in a guide slot 19 of a lever arm projecting downwards 20 is vertically adjustable.
  • the lever arm 20 is mounted at the upper end in a support 21 fastened to the frame 14.
  • a fitting screw 22 screwed to the support 21 is provided, which has a clamped plate spring 23 between the screw head and the lever arm 20 seated on the bearing section.
  • the lower end of the lever arm 20 is provided with a ball handle 24.
  • a hexagon screw 25 passing through the lever arm 20 meets at the thread-side end on a stop surface 26 formed on the support 21 and causes a change in the distance between the support 4 and the guide bar 15 when rotating.
  • the guide gap 16 can, as can be seen in FIGS the guide bar 15, which is designed as a line, compressed air are supplied.
  • a bore 27 extending to approximately the length of the guide bar 15 is provided, which extends to the rear end of the guide bar 15.
  • the at least in the rear area of the guide bar 15 upwardly directed outlet openings 28 for supplied compressed air line is supplied via connected connection bores 29 in the plate connected to the guide bar 15.
  • the connection bores 29 are in turn connected to a switchable compressed air source (not visible). Additional, downwardly directed and distributed over almost the entire length of the guide bar 15 outlet opening 39 of a separate bore 40 with a separate connection 41 can prevent possible folding of the printed sheets at the corners, in particular the inner hanging legs 11, by compressed air supplied.
  • the pushing device 9 has a stop device 31, which acts on the leg 11 of a printed sheet 3 and is lifted from the support 4 by the latter, and which forms part of the pushing device 9.
  • the stop device 31 has a stop 33 which can be pivoted on an adjustable support arm or support 32 connected to the frame 14. In the working position, this passes through the conveyor track 2, which is approximately parallel to the collecting section 2, of the leg 11 of a printed sheet 3 hanging down over the guide bar 15 under the pressure of a torsion spring 34 against a swivel limiter 35 on the support arm 32. As a result, the printing sheet 7 located at the top is displaced with its rear edge 8 to the driver 5 '.
  • the pressure sheet 7 at the driver 5 'then lifts the stop 33 against the force of the torsion spring 34 by a pivoting movement from the conveying path of the leg 11 by the movement of the conveying device 6 with the front edge 10 of the pressure sheet 7.
  • the force of the one on the Swing axis of the stop 33 forming screw 42 clamped torsion spring 34 can be changed by turning the screw 42.
  • the stop 33 can be adjusted both in height and laterally by a releasable clamping connection 36 (see FIG. 4).
  • the guide bar 15 At the end of the guide bar 15 pointing in the conveying direction F, the guide bar 15 has a recess 37 into which the stop 33 projects in the operating position, so that the leg 11 affected by belching can rest completely against the guide bar 15 until it strikes.
  • a guide rail 38 is provided opposite the guide bar 15, approximately at the level of the recess 37, which holds the leg 11 against the guide bar 15.
  • the guardrail 38 is adjustably attached to the support.
