  • the adaptation of the end plate feed to the continuous Stacking process can be optimized if the insertion device along the stack formation direction and can be moved here.
  • the insertion device is preferably above the horizontal aligned stacking pad so that the end plates by their own weight or by means of a transfer device fall into the insertion device or be moved can.
  • the holding plates are expediently arranged in a stationary manner Scaffold guided parallel to the stack formation direction so that a simple motion drive can be used.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device 1 carried by a machine frame 10 for forming a stack 2 of printed sheets 3 strung together, also referred to as bar delivery, in which the printed sheets 3 are folded from the right side via conveyor belts 4 to 8 initially by a pressing device 9, consisting of two superimposed ones Press rolls formed to be guided to press the folds.
  • the printing sheets 3 are transported in a shingled formation, in which the following printing sheet 3 partially rests on the preceding one (see scale position on conveyor belt 6).
  • Such a scale formation can be adopted, for example, on the delivery of a printing press.
  • the printed sheets 3, in the still scaled state reach an approximately vertically rising conveyor section 11, which is formed by the conveyor belts 12, 13.
  • the printed sheets 3 are clamped between the conveyor belts 12, 13, which rotate together around the rollers 14, 15.
  • the conveyor belt 12 runs around the counter roller 16 via further rollers about the axis of the lower press roller of the pressing device 9 to the roller 14;
  • Conveyor belt 13 runs around the rollers 14, 15 and is deflected from the conveyor path of the printed sheets 3 after leaving the roller 15.
  • Such conveyors are known, for example, from CH-A-663 397 and the printed sheets 3 could, as disclosed in EP-A-0 623 542, be fed in oversized.
  • the printed sheets 3 are delivered to a similar conveyor 18 directed perpendicularly against a stacking support 17.
  • the operation of the conveyor channel 21 is also described in the above-mentioned publications.
  • the stack supports 17, 22 provided are attached to two traction elements formed from rotating pairs of chains, one of which is designated by 24.
  • a controllable drive motor (not shown) is assigned to each traction element, so that, for example, a reduced speed of the stack supports 17, 22 can be driven during the stack formation.
  • the stack supports 17, 22 are formed from transversely running strips 23 and are supported on guide rails with respect to the upper runs of the traction elements.
  • the traction elements run around deflection rollers 25, 26 which, viewed in the direction of stack formation, are arranged before the infeed of the shingled stream onto the stack supports and behind a downstream stack press 27.
  • the stack supports 17, 22 have support elements 28, 29 arranged at the ends in pairs, between which a stack 2 is in each case formed and transported.
  • the rear support elements 29 of a stack support 17, 22 abut the front support elements 28 of a subsequent stack support 17, 22 and thus form a stack separation when passing through the conveying channel 21.
  • the completed stack 2 passes after it has passed has set off from the subsequent stack 2 at an increased speed, a controllable insertion device 30, with which the end edges of the stack 2, which protect against damage, are inserted between the support elements 28, 29 of a stack support 17, 22 and the stack 2.
  • the insertion device 30 consists of two parallel holding plates 32, 33, spaced apart from one another, forming an intermediate space for at least one end plate 31. These have slit-like passage openings 38 at the lower end through which the support elements 28, 29 can pass for pressing the stacked printed sheets 3 together , 2a to 2f, the end plate insertion during the stacking process is described.
  • the stack 2 which has formed has reached a certain length and, with the front end, which is formed by a pair of support elements 28, approaches the ready-to-insert device 30, to which an end plate 31 has previously been fed from a magazine 34 arranged above it. Due to the selected stack length or the stack speed, the insertion device 30 has covered a longer or shorter path since the end plate 31 was received until it has reached the illustrated position. Of course, at the expense of the cycle time and possibly the quality, the insertion device 30 could be operated on shorter paths or at a standstill, or the end plates could be inserted. In the situation shown, the insertion device 30 is close to inserting the end plate 31 between the front of the stack 2 and the support elements 28.
  • the end plate 31 is caught at a height above the support elements 28 in the insertion device 30, for which purpose a retaining device 35 is provided.
  • a guide arrangement designated 36 is set up, which can be seen in more detail in FIG. 3.
  • the height adjustment of the holding plates 32, 33 takes place via a pneumatic actuating device 37 which can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • the specified means allow the insertion device 30 to be moved along the rationally shortest route to underpass the end plates 31 and to reset them.
  • An insertion device 30, with which two end plates 31 can be received, could be a return path to the stacking support 17, 22 or. saved to magazine 34.
  • the insertion device 30 with a space for one or two end plates 31 or for two end plates 31 in separate spaces.
  • 2b the end plate 31 loaded in the insertion device 30 is deflected and, by pushing back the front end of the stack 2 through the holding plate 32 of the insertion device 30, has been placed behind the support elements 28 in a position in which it is initially loosely in that by the holding plates 32, 33 formed space sits.
  • 2c shows the further step, where the insertion device 30 is lifted and the end plate 31 is clamped between the stack and the support elements 28 by expansion of the stack 2.
  • the insertion device 30 has already received another end plate 31, which is provided for the rear end of the stack 2. It would be possible to insert the insert device 30 with two spaces.
  • the stack 2 has reached approximately the insertion position with its rear end, which is determined by support elements 29; likewise the insertion device 30. Now the insertion device 30 is driven faster than the stack 2 in the direction of travel, so that the position according to FIG. 2e is reached immediately. In this position, the rear end of the stack is advanced such that there is a gap between it and the subsequent support element 29, into which the end plate 31 is inserted from top to bottom or from the retention position in the insertion device 30. 2e, the restraint device 35 is already out of operation and the end plate 31 stands on the stacking support 17.
  • the insertion device 30 is from the rear End of stack of stack 2 removed and already an end plate 31 for the next stack 2, which is at a certain distance follows, picked up from magazine 34.
