Fig. 3 zeigt einen Teil der Ausrichtvorrichtung 112 mit ihren Andrückwalzen 116, die
drehbar mit Andrückwalzenarmen 118 verbunden sind. Die Andrückwalzenarme 118 sind
mit dem Andrückwalzenblock 119 verbunden, der schwenk- und drehbar ist. Wie durch die
gestrichelten Linien angedeutet ist, sind der Anschlagsblock 122 und die Anschlagsarme
120 um einen Schwenkpunkt 126 drehbar, wodurch bei Schräglage der Signatur 106 auf
der Haupttrommel 110 ein Verdrehen des Anschlags und des Anschlagsblocks 122
ermöglicht wird. Eine Schräglage der Signatur 106 kann beabsichtigt oder unbeabsichtigt
aus verschiedenen Gründen auftreten, insbesondere wenn die beiden Andrückwalzen die
Signatur nicht mit demselben Druck an die Haupttrommel 110 drücken.Fig. 3 shows a part of the
Bisher musste zur Anpassung an eine Schräglage der Signatur die gesamte
Ausrichtanordnung inklusive der Andrückwalzenanordnung gedreht werden. Gemäß der
vorliegenden Erfindung werden nur der Anschlagsblock 122 und der Anschlag gedreht.
Der Vorteil der Erfindung besteht somit darin, dass die Andrückwalze 116 die Signatur
106 gleichmäßiger in die Ausrichtanordnung drückt, da die Andrückwalze 116 weiterhin
mit der Haupttrommel 110 ausgerichtet ist. Bei bekannten Vorrichtungen bewirkt das
Drehen der gesamten Ausrichtvorrichtung, dass sich die Andrückwalzen bezüglich der
Haupttrommel verschieben, was zu unerwünschter Faltenbildung oder zum Umknicken der
Signatur führt.Until now, the entire system had to be adjusted to an inclined position of the signature
Alignment arrangement including the pressure roller arrangement can be rotated. According to the
In the present invention, only the
Fig. 5, 6 und 7 zeigen die Ausrichtvorrichtung 112 mit einer Andrückwalze 116, einem
Andrückwalzenarm 118, einem Andrückwalzenblock 119, einem Anschlagsarm 120 und
einem Anschlagsblock 122. Der Anschlagswalzenarm ist um eine Achse 123 schwenkbar.
Die Andrückwalze 116 übt Druck auf die Signatur aus, so dass zwischen der
Andrückwalze 116 und der Trommel 110 ein Andrückspalt besteht. Die Signatur 106 wird
entlang dem Umfang der Haupttrommel 110 in die gezeigte Richtung bewegt und von der
Andrückwalzenanordnung erfasst. Anschließend wird die Signatur 106 von der
Greifvorrichtung freigegeben, und das Bewegungsmoment der Signatur 106 bewegt diese
vorwärts in den Anschlagsblock 122. Der Anschlagsblock 122 dient zum Ausrichten und
Anhalten der Signatur. Der Ausrichtanschlag und der Anschlagsblock 122 schwenken oder
drehen sich um einen Punkt 126 bezüglich der Andrückwalzenanordnung, was ein
Verdrehen des Anschlags und des Anschlagsblocks 122 ermöglicht, wenn sie von einer
Signatur 106, die sich auf der Haupttrommel 110 in Schräglage befindet, dazu gedrängt
werden. Nach dem Ausrichten wird die Bewegungsrichtung der Signatur 106 verändert
oder umgekehrt, und die Signatur 106 wird in die entgegengesetzte Richtung um den
Umfang 108 der Trommel 110 bewegt.5, 6 and 7 show the
Die erfindungsgemäße Ausrichtvorrichtung kann auch in Verbindung mit einer Signatur eingesetzt werden, die über eine flache oder auf andere Weise angeordnete Oberfläche als die hier beschriebene runde Trommel bewegt wird. The alignment device according to the invention can also be used in conjunction with a signature are used as a flat or otherwise arranged surface as the round drum described here is moved.
