Definitions

  • the invention relates to an auxiliary push-in arrangement for envelope-filling machines according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • auxiliary push-in fingers and the associated levers of the lever arrangement are designed such that one auxiliary push-in finger is pushed into the opening of an envelope, which is held ready in an open state, in the vicinity of one end of said opening, while a second auxiliary push-in finger is pushed into the envelope opening in the vicinity of the other end.
  • US-A-5848 518 discloses the practice, in the case of an envelope-filling machine, of opening the envelope-opening mouth by means of the comparatively wide tongue aligned approximately with the centre of said envelope-opening mouth.
  • the invention is intended to achieve the object of configuring an auxiliary push-in arrangement of the type defined in the introduction such that the envelope is opened wide and comparatively thick sets of enclosures can be reliably pushed in even at high operating speeds.
  • auxiliary push-in arrangement of the type specified here in a manner similar to conventional auxiliary push-in arrangements, is arranged upstream of the push-in arrangement of an envelope-filling machine, as seen in the push-in direction, and contains a pivoting shaft 1 which is made to rotate in an oscillating manner by means of a suitable drive and on which there are fastened, in the vicinity of the right-hand side and in the vicinity of the left-hand side, pivoting levers (not illustrated in Figure 1), at the bottom ends of which there are articulated auxiliary push-in fingers, which are prestressed by spring means in the direction of the envelope-filling table 2, which is shown schematically in Figure 1.
  • auxiliary push-in finger 3 Located between said lateral pivoting levers and associated auxiliary push-in fingers, approximately in the region of the centre of the push-in station, corresponding to the centre of the opening of an envelope 14 provided, is an additional auxiliary push-in finger 3, which is formed approximately in the manner of a duck's foot and from a comparatively thin metal sheet and has vertically upwardly bent bearing side pieces 4 and 5 in the rear region.
  • the additional auxiliary push-in finger 3 is articulated at the bottom end of a pivoting lever 7, which is assigned to the auxiliary push-in finger 3, such that it can be pivoted via a pin 6 inserted through bores of the bearing side pieces 4 and 5, the top end of said pivoting lever being fastened on the pivoting shaft 1 such that the pivoting lever 7 moves in an operating stroke and a return stroke in synchronism with the lateral pivoting levers adjacent to it.
  • the bottom end of the pivoting lever 7 is bent rearwards approximately at right angles such that the bent section 8 interacts with the base of the additional auxiliary push-in finger 3, said base connecting the bearing side pieces 4 and 5, as a stop which limits the downward movement of the front end of the additional auxiliary push-in finger 3 in the direction of the surface of the envelope-filling table 2.
  • An upward movement of the front end of the additional auxiliary push-in finger 3 takes place counter to the prestressing force of a helical spring 9, which is tensioned between a bore of the bearing side piece 4 of the additional auxiliary push-in finger 3 and a spring-bearing pin 10 of the pivoting lever 7.
  • the pivoting lever 7 which has the additional auxiliary push-in finger 3 articulated at its bottom end is pivoting rearwards on the pivoting shaft 1 to such an extent that the front end of the auxiliary push-in finger 3 rests on a base plate 11 of the push-in arrangement, said base plate being illustrated schematically in Figure 2, then this takes place with the auxiliary push-in finger 3 being pivoted in the clockwise direction, in relation to the position shown in Figure 2, the base which connects the bearing side pieces 4 and 5 being raised off, counter to the prestressing force exerted by the helical spring 9, from the underside of the rearwardly bent section 8 of the pivoting lever 7, as is indicated at S in Figure 2.
  • the set of enclosures 13 is then pushed beneath the additional auxiliary push-in finger 3, and also beneath the laterally adjacent auxiliary push-in finger 3, into the envelope 14.
  • the task of keeping the envelope 14 open is assisted in that blowing air is blown into the envelope opening, for example, via channels 15 routed in, or in the vicinity of, the base plate 11.
  • blowing air is blown into the envelope opening, for example, via channels 15 routed in, or in the vicinity of, the base plate 11.
  • cutouts or through-passages are provided in the front region of the auxiliary push-in finger 3, these being indicated at 16 in Figure 1.
  • FIG 3 part of the push-in arrangement is shown by chain-dotted lines at 17.
  • a push-in-finger carrier 19 is articulated on a link arrangement, of which only one link 18 is depicted in Figure 3, such that, when the links of the link arrangement are pivoted, the front end of the push-in-finger carrier 19 can be moved back and forth approximately horizontally over the surface 20 of the base plate 11 of the push-in station.
  • the push-in fingers 21 are articulated at the front end of the push-in-finger carrier 19 and, by spring means which are not shown in Figure 3, have their free, bottom ends prestressed in the direction of the surface of the base plate 11.
  • the pivoting lever 7 has a bent-out portion 22 which is oriented in the push-in direction, is open in the rearward direction, counter to the push-in direction, and makes it possible, when the operating stroke of the pivoting lever 7 and of the additional auxiliary push-in finger 3 ends, for the front end of the push-in-finger carrier 19 of the push-in arrangement 17 and thus the push-in fingers 21 to be able to end their operating stroke without the front end of the push-in-finger carrier 19 colliding with the pivoting lever 7.
