Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing a printed from several, by straddling collecting supplied in a specific order printed products and bound by stitching printed product, especially magazines, brochures or books, consisting of a one spread the printed products on the conveying path on a conveying effective trained collecting support transferring opening device having delivery device and one of the opening device downstream stapling device.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to be able to achieve optimum cost-effectiveness in comparison with other proven production methods in a device of the type described above with lower quantities.
  • this object is achieved by Opening device around a arranged transversely to the direction of delivery of the printed products rotary axis circulating collecting support moves from a collection point required for a complete printed product printed products to a stapling point of the stapling device one step further. That is, the processing of the printed products takes place continuously until collection and then takes place gradually during the time in which the printed products are collected.
  • a plurality of collecting supports arranged about the axis of rotation are provided, so that they travel shorter distances and are driven at a reasonable speed.
  • the section of the conveying path between collecting point and stitching point can be formed by at least one traction mechanism of a traction mechanism circulating on a deflection drum, on which collecting supports are attached at regular intervals.
  • the stitching point has a bending device that deforms a wire section that deforms a staple section and a driving device that drives the deformed wire section and has a stapling device that is formed with a folding device provided on the collecting pad.
  • the downstream end of the conveying path is designed as a delivery following the stapling point.
  • the display opens in a conveyor arrangement, which ensures the further transport of the printed products.
  • the display may conveniently be a print product removing from the collective support lift-off device, including, for example, a controlled acting on the Falzinnenkante a printed product sword is particularly suitable.
  • the collecting point is assigned a Umzzifalzanleger with which the fold to be folded envelope is placed from the side to the loose lying on the collecting support printed products.
  • Folding or Umtschfalzanleger are u.a. in the cited book "Industrial Binding" described.
  • a Umtschfalzanleger between the feeder be arranged for the printed products and the stitching.
  • the conveying end of the feeding device may preferably be formed by an opening device of a sheet feeder or a cycle conveyor; both types of feed are known, the latter u.a. by EP 0 095 603 A1.
  • the device is connected to a computer-controlled device for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a device 1 for producing a wire-stitched printed product 3 consisting of a plurality of printed products 2 fed in a specific sequence, such as magazines, brochures or books.
  • the printed products 2 to be processed are preferably scaled by a digital printing press (not shown) in the direction F or fed individually to a magazine 4.
  • the feed means used for this purpose are known and are therefore no longer described.
  • the magazine 4 is part of a sheet feeder 5, which consists of a printing product 2 from the magazine 4 deducting conveyor drum 6 and one of two opening drums 7, 8 existing opening device 9 is formed. Sheet feeders 5 of this type are known from the field of saddle stitching and in the present case form the feeding device 10 of the device 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows how a splayed by the opening device 9 printed product 2, the sheet feeder 5, respectively. Leaves the feeder 10 and a subsequent printed product 2 is transported by the conveyor drum 6 in the detection range of the opening device 9.
  • the feed section on the conveying path of the printed products 2 ends for the time being at a collecting point 11, which is defined by a collecting support 12.
  • the Collective support 12 consists of a radially projecting web of a rotating rotor 13, which has distributed over the circumference a plurality of collecting supports 12.
  • the collection pads 12 have at the free end a saddle-shaped area on which the printed products 2 are sold astride.
  • the direction of rotation of the rotor 13 is indicated by arrow F.
  • the latter moves one step further along the conveying path and reaches a stapling point 14.
  • This is characterized by a stationary position arranged bending device for deforming a wire section in a U-profile and by a cooperating with the latter driving device for driving through the deformed wire section through the fold of the formed from at least one multi-sheet printed product 2 3 printed matter. Both devices are the drawing can not be removed, but they are known in saddle stitchers.
  • the collecting support 12 which is formed at the free end as Umbiegevoriques, creates a stapler 15, which is adjustable with respect to stapling distance.
  • the device 1 has a frame 18 to which the described device components are attached. Incidentally, one of two coils 19 with the wire which is required for the wire sections can be seen on the frame 18. In Fig. 2, with the exception of the feeder 10, the details described with reference to Fig. 1 are spatially recognizable.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates the illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 sheet feeder 5 as a feeder 10 and the downstream rotor 13 with the circulating collecting pads 12. Laterally offset, in the foreground, a Umschlagfalzanleger 20 is connected to the frame 15, a folded envelope 21st deposited on the collected printed products 2, before the rotor 13 moves a stapling step further.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 an alternative embodiment of the inventive device 1 is drawn.
  • This has, in contrast to FIGS. 1 to 3, instead of the rotor 13, a two-speed traction means 22, 23 formed, stepwise driven traction mechanism, wherein the traction means by web-like, transverse to the conveying direction Q collecting supports 12 are connected to each other.
  • the traction means 22, 23 strands is formed at the upstream end of a printed sheet feeder 5 formed for printing products 2 2.
  • the feeder 10 is attached to a rack 25 via a tail pulley 24 forming the end of the traction mechanism on which the feeder 10 is mounted.
  • a cover feeder 26 Downstream of the feed device 10 is located along the upper runs in front of the stitching point 14, a cover feeder 26, with which the folded envelopes 21, as in the feeder 10, are spread apart on the collected printed products 2.
  • a cover feeder 26 Downstream of the feed device 10 is located along the upper runs in front of the stitching point 14, a cover feeder 26, with which the folded envelopes 21, as in the feeder 10, are spread apart on the collected printed products 2.
  • the length of the traction mechanism can be significantly shortened.
  • the stapling device 15 in turn by a stationary arranged bending and driving device (not visible) and formed in the collecting pad 12 Umbiegevorraum formed, and instead of a rotor 13 is a driven tail pulley 27 provided.
  • FIG. 4 shows a control device 28 which has a computer part R and a control part S, which is tax-effectively connected to the individual units of the device 1.
