Abstract

Flache Gegenstände (5) werden zu Stapeln (9) zusammengetragen, indem die entstehenden Stapel entlang einer Zusammentragstrecke (1) hintereinander an Zuführungsstellen vorbeigefördert werden und indem an jeder Zuführungsstelle je ein Gegenstand (5) auf jedem Stapel (9) positioniert wird. Die entstehenden Stapel (9) werden auf Stapelauflagen (2) mit Auflageflächen (7) gefördert. D die Zuführungsrichtung hat dabei eine mit der Stapelförderrichtung parallele Komponente und die Auflageflächen (7) sind vorteilhafterweise nicht parallel zur Zusammentragstrecke (1) angeordnet. Die Gegenstände (5) werden im Bereiche einer Kante (5.1) durch je ein Halteelement (4) gehalten entlang einer Zuführungsstrecke (3) zur Zuführungsstelle gefördert. Die Zuführungsstrecke (3) kreuzt die Zusammentragstrecke (1) in der Zuführungsstelle. Die Gegenstände (5) werden mit vorlaufenden, gehaltenen Kanten (5.1) beispielsweise von oben zwischen aufeinanderfolgende Stapel (9) oder Stapelauflagen (2) eingeführt. Die gehaltene Kante wird durch Desaktivierung des Halteelementes (4) aus der Gehaltenheit entlassen, wenn sie den unteren Bereich der Stapelauflagen (2) erreicht hat. Der entlassene Gegenstand wird dann durch die Schwerkraft und/oder durch seine Trägheit endgültig auf dem nachlaufenden oder auf dem vorlaufenden Stapel (9) oder Stapelauflage (2) positioniert und das Halteelement (4) wird gegen unten weiter gefördert. Derartiges Zusammentragen eignet sich beispielsweise zum Erstellen von Liefereinheiten aus verschiedenen Druckprodukten. Es ermöglicht sehr kompakte Vorrichtungen, die bei vertretbaren Geschwindigkeiten mit hohen Leistungen zusammentragen können, wobei auch das Zusammentragen von sehr verschieden-formatigen Gegenständen ohne Probleme möglich ist.

Figure 00000001
Flat objects (5) are brought together to form stacks (9) by conveying the resulting stacks one after the other along a collation line (1) past feed points and by positioning an object (5) on each stack (9) at each feed point. The resulting stacks (9) are conveyed on stack supports (2) with support surfaces (7). D the feed direction has a component parallel to the stack conveying direction and the bearing surfaces (7) are advantageously not arranged parallel to the collating section (1). The objects (5) are conveyed in the area of an edge (5.1) by a holding element (4) each along a feed path (3) to the feed point. The feed line (3) crosses the collation line (1) in the feed point. The objects (5) are inserted with leading, held edges (5.1), for example from above, between successive stacks (9) or stack supports (2). The held edge is released from the hold by deactivating the holding element (4) when it has reached the lower area of the stacking supports (2). The released object is then finally positioned by gravity and / or by its inertia on the trailing or on the leading stack (9) or stack support (2) and the holding element (4) is further conveyed towards the bottom. Such collating is suitable, for example, for creating delivery units from various printed products. It enables very compact devices that can collate at high speeds at reasonable speeds, and collapse of objects of very different formats is also possible without problems.
