Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Anleger zum Zuführen flächiger Produkte, insbesondere Papierbogen oder Signaturen zu einer Fördereinrichtung mit einem Magazin zum Speichern der flächigen Produkte und einer Vereinzelungseinrichtung zum Vereinzeln der flächigen Produkte aus dem Magazin.The invention relates to a feeder for feeding flat products, in particular paper sheets or signatures to a conveyor with a magazine for storing the sheet-like products and a separating device for separating the sheet-like products from the magazine.

Sammelhefter sind papierverarbeitende Maschinen, die aus einer Mehrzahl von gefalzten Bögen ein Produkt herstellen, wobei die einzelnen gefalzten Bögen so mit einander verbunden werden, dass ein Endprodukt entsteht. Bei den so hergestellten Endprodukten handelt es sich beispielsweise um mehrseitige Magazine, Broschüren oder ähnliches. Derartige Sammelhefter weisen üblicherweise mehrere Anleger auf, die die einzelnen Falzbögen einer Sammelkette zuführen, auf der die unterschiedlichen Falzbögen so in Gruppen gesammelt werden, dass das gewünschte Endprodukt entsteht. Die auf der Sammelkette hängenden Gruppen von Falzbögen werden üblicherweise einer Heftstation, die einen oder mehrere Heftköpfe aufweist, zugeführt. In der Heftstation werden die Falzprodukte an ihren Rücken mit Drahtheftklammern verbunden. Nach dem Heften werden die so miteinander verbundenen Gruppen von Falzbögen einem Trimmer zugeführt, der für den Randschnitt der gehefteten Erzeugnisse sorgt und diese dann anschließend einer Auslage zuführt.Saddle stitchers are paper-making machines that produce a product from a plurality of folded sheets, wherein the individual folded sheets are joined together to form a final product. The final products produced in this way are, for example, multi-page magazines, brochures or the like. Such saddle stitchers usually have a plurality of investors who supply the individual signatures of a gathering chain on which the different signatures are collected in groups so that the desired end product is formed. The groups of signatures hanging on the gathering chain are usually fed to a stitching station which has one or more stitching heads. In the stitching station, the folded products are connected to their backs with wire staples. After stapling, the groups of signatures thus linked are fed to a trimmer, which provides for the marginal cut of the stapled products and then subsequently delivers them to a delivery.

Bei vielen Endprodukten, wie beispielsweise Taschenkalendern, Adressverzeichnissen, Prospekten, Wochen- oder Monatsmagazinen und hier insbesondere beispielsweise Programmzeitschriften, ist es wünschenswert und zum Teil bereits auch üblich, diese Produkte mit sogenannten Aufschlagregistem zu versehen. Die Aufschlagregister ermöglichen es, die Endprodukte schnell an einer bestimmten Seitenposition zu öffnen. Die Herstellung derartiger Aufschlagregister ist jedoch sehr aufwendig, wobei im Wesentlichen drei unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten bestehen, die Register in die Endprodukte einzubringen. Bei einem ersten Verfahren werden die Aufschlagregister in ein fertig gebundenes Produkt eingebracht. Ein derartiges Verfahren ist beispielsweise aus der Druckprodukt eingebracht. Ein derartiges Verfahren ist beispielsweise aus der US 2,620,874 bekannt, wobei dieses Verfahren jedoch besonders aufwendig ist, da hierbei in einem separaten Arbeitsgang jedes einzelne Produkt, das heißt also beispielsweise jeder einzelne Taschenkalender, Adressverzeichnis oder Ähnliches an der gewünschten Seitenposition geöffnet und das Aufschlagregister eingestanzt werden muss.In many end products, such as pocket calendars, address directories, leaflets, weekly or monthly magazines and in particular, for example, program guides, it is desirable and sometimes already common to provide these products with so-called Aufschlagregistem. The impact registers make it possible to quickly open the end products at a specific side position. However, the production of such impact registers is very complicated, with essentially three different possibilities exist to bring the registers in the final products. In a first method, the impact tabs are placed in a finished bound product. Such a method is for example from the Introduced printed product. Such a method is known for example from US 2,620,874, but this method is particularly complicated, since in a separate operation every single product, that is, for example, each individual pocket calendar, address list or the like opened at the desired page position and the impact register are punched got to.

Ein weiteres Verfahren ist beispielsweise aus der DE 21 20 168 bekannt. Dabei wird das Aufschlagregister durch sogenannte Registerstanzen erzeugt, das als kontinuierlicher Vorgang bereits auf einer ungeschnittenen Papierbahn durchgeführt wird, wobei das Stanzen in den Ablauf der Herstellung des Produktes eingefügt wird. Dabei ist es erforderlich, dass die zum Stanzen verwendete Vorrichtung nach Länge und Lage genau positioniert wird, um einwandfreie Register zu erhalten. Dieses Verfahren schränkt allerdings die Variabilität und die Seitenzahl ein und verlangt darüber hinaus, dass das Produkt vollständig hintereinander auf die Bahn gedruckt wird.Another method is known for example from DE 21 20 168. The impact register is generated by so-called register punching, which is carried out as a continuous process already on an uncut paper web, the punching is inserted in the process of production of the product. It is necessary that the device used for punching is accurately positioned according to length and position in order to obtain perfect registers. However, this method limits the variability and the page number, and moreover, requires that the product be printed completely in sequence on the web.

In einem weiteren Verfahren, das beispielsweise aus der EP 1 074 496 A1 bekannt ist, wird das Einstanzen eines Aufschlagsregisters innerhalb des Sammelhefters durchgeführt. Dabei wird ein auf den Sammelhefter zugeführtes Falzprodukt an einem Bogenteil im Bereich der Sammelkette angehoben und in die Stanzeinheit geführt. Das Einbringen eines Aufschlagregisters gemäß dieser Vorrichtung macht es also erforderlich, dass nach jeder Bogenanlegestation eine spezielle Registerstanzeinheit mit zugehöriger Bogenöffnungseinrichtung vorhanden ist. Dies verursacht zum Einen erhebliche Kosten und verlängert zu Anderen den Sammelhefter beträchtlich, was unmittelbar eine Vergrößerung der Störanfälligkeit der gesamten Sammelheftanlage zur Folge hat. Besonders problematisch ist an dieser Ausführungsform, dass das Registerstanzen an beiden Randkanten eines Bogens, welcher nur lose auf der Sammelkette liegt, nur dann erfolgen kann, wenn beide Seiten angehoben werden und die Stanzung parallel erfolgt.In a further method, which is known for example from EP 1 074 496 A1, the punching of an impact register is carried out within the saddle stitcher. In this case, a folded product fed to the saddle stitcher is lifted on an arch part in the region of the gathering chain and guided into the punching unit. The introduction of an impact register according to this device thus makes it necessary for a special register punching unit with associated sheet opening device to be present after each sheet applying station. This causes a considerable cost and extended to others the saddle stitcher considerably, which immediately has an increase in the susceptibility of the entire Sammelheftanlage result. A particular problem with this embodiment is that the register punching on both edges of a sheet, which lies only loosely on the collecting chain, can only take place when both sides are raised and the punching takes place in parallel.

Ein Anleger mit einer Einrichtung zur Erzeugung einer Registers ist auch aus der US 4 466 603 A bekannt.A feeder with a device for generating a register is also known from US 4 466 603 A.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Vorrichtung zum Registerstanzen vorzuschlagen, die einen zuverlässigen Arbeitsprozess im Sammelhefter ermöglicht, wobei gleichzeitig gewährleistet ist, dass die Produkte kostengünstig hergestellt werden können.The object of the invention is therefore to propose a device for register punching, the reliable working process in the saddle stitcher while ensuring that the products can be produced inexpensively.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch einen Anleger mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a feeder with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß wird also bereits der Anleger zum Zuführen flächiger Produkte, insbesondere zum Zuführen von Papierbogen oder Signaturen mit einer Einrichtung zur Erzeugung eines Registers in den Endprodukten versehen. Für jeden einzelnen Anleger lassen sich die Registerschneide- bzw. Registerstanzeinrichtungen so vorsehen, dass das zugeführte flächige Produkt zum Einbringen des Registers nicht aufgeklappt werden muss. Die Einstellung der Größe des zu stanzenden Registers erfolgt unmittelbar an jedem Anleger und ist für alle von diesem Anleger transportierten flächigen Produkte gleich. Dies hat insbesondere zum Vorteil, dass auch auf beiden Seiten der flächigen Produkte unterschiedliche Registergrößen in einfacher Weise vorgesehen werden können.Thus, according to the invention, the feeder for supplying flat products, in particular for feeding paper sheets or signatures, is already provided with a device for producing a register in the end products. For each individual investor, the register cutting or register punching devices can be provided in such a way that the supplied flat product for inserting the register does not have to be unfolded. The size of the register to be punched is set directly at each feeder and is the same for all flat products transported by this feeder. This has the particular advantage that different register sizes can also be provided in a simple manner on both sides of the flat products.

Wird als Anleger ein sogenannter Umschlagfalzanleger verwendet, so kann die erfindungsgemäße Registerstanzeinrichtung in besonders vorteilhafter Weise verwirklicht werden. Denn bei diesem Anlegertyp wird das vorgesehene Magazin typischerweise mit nicht gefalzten Papierbögen bestückt. Diese nicht gefalzten Papierbögen liegen flach im Magazin und werden nach dem Vereinzeln einer Registerstanz- bzw. Schneideinrichtung zugeführt, die das erforderliche Seitenregister in das Produkt einbringt, insbesondere einschneidet. Gleichzeitig ist es möglich, in dem Produkt eine Falzkante dadurch vorzusehen, dass eine Rilleinrichtung, beispielsweise eine Rillscheibe, vorgesehen wird, die das Produkt an der gewünschten Stelle falzt. Das so gefalzte flächige Produkt kann dann der Papiertransporteinrichtung, beispielsweise der Sammelhefterkette, zugeführt werden und dabei den bereits auf der Sammelkette liegenden zuvor gegebenenfalls mit einer Registerstanzung versehenen Produkten hinzugefügt werden. Auf einem solchen Umschlagfalzanleger können jedoch auch vorgefalzte Signaturen einem Sammelhefter zugeführt werden, was die Einsatzmöglichkeiten noch vergrößert. Durch den weiteren Transport auf der Sammelkette lässt sich so in einfacher Weise ein Endprodukt mit einer Registerstanzung herstellen.If a so-called envelope folder feeder is used as the feeder, then the register punching unit according to the invention can be realized in a particularly advantageous manner. Because with this investor type, the intended magazine is typically populated with unfolded paper sheets. These unfolded paper sheets are flat in the magazine and are fed to the separation of a Registerstanz- or cutting device, which introduces the required side register in the product, in particular cuts. At the same time, it is possible to provide a folded edge in the product by providing a scoring device, for example a scoring disc, which folds the product at the desired location. The sheet product folded in this way can then be fed to the paper transport device, for example the collection stitcher chain, and in so doing can be added to the products which have already been optionally provided with a register punching on the gathering chain. However, pre-folded signatures can also be fed to a saddle stitcher on such an envelope folder, which further increases the possibilities of use. Through the other Transport on the gathering chain can thus easily produce an end product with a register punching.

In Figur 1 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Umschlagfalzanleger 10 mit einer Einrichtung zum Erzeugen eines Registers schematisch dargestellt. Dieser Anleger weist ein Magazin 16 auf, in welchem flächige Produkte 18, insbesondere Papierbogen, Planabogen, Falzbogen oder Signaturen, gespeichert, das heißt also bevorratet sind. Mit Hilfe einer Vereinzelungseinrichtung, die im vorliegenden Fall eine Saugstange 20 und eine Vereinzelungstrommel 22 umfasst, wird das unterste der flächigen Produkte 18 einem Greifer 24 zugeführt, der mit der Vereinzelungstrommel 22 gekoppelt ist. Damit zieht die Vereinzelungstrommel 22 mit dem Greifer 24 das vereinzelte flächige Produkt 18 vom Stapel und führt es entlang der Pfeilrichtung A auf der Oberfläche der Vereinzelungstrommel 22.FIG. 1 schematically shows an envelope folder feeder 10 according to the invention with a device for generating a register. This feeder has a magazine 16, in which flat products 18, in particular paper sheets, plano sheets, folded sheets or signatures are stored, that is to say stored. With the aid of a separating device, which in the present case comprises a suction bar 20 and a singling drum 22, the lowermost of the flat products 18 is fed to a gripper 24, which is coupled to the singling drum 22. Thus, the singling drum 22 with the gripper 24 pulls the separated flat product 18 off the stack and guides it along the arrow direction A on the surface of the singling drum 22.

Seitlich zur Vereinzelungstrommel 22 ist wenigstens einseitig, bevorzugt jedoch beidseitig, eine Schneidscheibe 14 angeordnet. Die Schneidscheibe 14 ist entlang der Zylinderachse 26 positionierbar, sodass sie in unterschiedlichen Abständen relativ zur Vereinzelungstrommel 22 angebracht werden kann. Damit ist gewährleistet, dass die Breite des Randbeschnittes einstellbar ist. Weiterhin ist für jede Schneidscheibe 14 eineLaterally to the singling drum 22, a cutting disc 14 is arranged at least on one side, but preferably on both sides. The cutting disk 14 is positionable along the cylinder axis 26 so that it can be mounted at different distances relative to the singling drum 22. This ensures that the width of the edge trimming is adjustable. Furthermore, for each cutting wheel 14 a

Messerscheibe 12 vorgesehen, wobei die Messerscheibe 12 und die Schneidescheibe 14 eine Schneideeinrichtung bilden. Zum Einbringen eines Registerschnittes, d.h. also eines Rand beschnitts, im eines der flächigen Produkte 18 ist auf der Messerscheibe 12 ein Messer 13 angeordnet. Zwischen den Schneidescheiben 14 und der Messerscheibe 12 werden die flächigen Produkte 18 gefördert und gleichzeitig mit dem Auftreffen des Messers 13 auf das flächige Produkt 18 wird eine Registerschnitt im Randbereich des flächigen Produktes 18 vorgenommen. Neben dem Messer 13, das als umlaufendes Messer ausgebildet ist, verfügt die Messerscheibe 12 weiterhin über eine achsenparallel zur Drehachse der Schneidescheibe 14 gerichtetes Vertikalmesser 15. Die Position des Vertikalmesser 15 bestimmt letztendlich die Länge des Randbeschnittes 32, der in das beschnittene flächige Produkt 18a eingebracht ist.Knife disk 12 is provided, wherein the cutter disk 12 and the cutting disc 14 form a cutting device. To introduce a register cut, i. So an edge trim, in one of the sheet-like products 18, a knife 13 is arranged on the cutter disk 12. Between the cutting disks 14 and the cutter disk 12, the sheet products 18 are conveyed and simultaneously with the impact of the knife 13 on the sheet product 18, a register cut is made in the edge region of the sheet product 18. In addition to the knife 13, which is designed as a rotating knife, the knife disc 12 further has an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the cutting disc 14 directed vertical blade 15. The position of the vertical blade 15 ultimately determines the length of the edge trim 32, which introduced into the trimmed sheet product 18a is.

Die Länge des Randbeschnittes 32 lässt sich über eine radiale Verstellung der Messerscheibe 12 und der Position des Vertikalmessers 15 vornehmen.The length of the edge trim 32 can be made via a radial adjustment of the cutter disk 12 and the position of the vertical blade 15.

Das beschnittene Produkt 18a wird anschließend einer Fördereinrichtung, insbesondere einem Sammelhefter, auf dem gefalzte Bogen hängend transportiert werden, zugeführt. Sofern als Anleger ein sogenannter Umschlagfalzanleger verwendet wird, ist weiterhin eine Vorrichtung vorgesehen, die den an sich flachen Bogen, den sogenannten Planobogen, beim Fördern falzt und als gefalztes Produkt auf die Fördereinrichtung 34 führt. Hierzu kann eine Rillscheibe 36 vorgesehen werden, die der Vereinzelungstrommel 22 zugeordnet ist. Die Rillscheibe 36 erzeugt in den flächigen Produkten eine Sollfalzlinie, entlang der die Falzung des Planobogens mit Hilfe der Falzeinrichtung 38 erfolgt. Weiterhin können Falzrollen 40 vorgesehen sein, zu denen das flächige Produkt mit Hilfe von Falzriemen 39, die in der Falzeinrichtung 38 angeordnet sind, transportiert werden. Die Falzrollen 40 falzen die Bogen in Laufrichtung und übergeben diese zum Beispiel über ein Auflageschwert 42 an die Fördereinrichtung 34. Sofern also eine Rillscheibe 36 vorgesehen ist, wird diese so positioniert, dass die Rillung entlang der Linie erfolgt, die später für den Falzbruch vorgesehen ist. Üblicherweise werden die Messerscheiben 12 und die Schneidescheiben 14 dabei so positioniert, dass sie jeweils auf gegenüber liegenden Seiten der Rilllinie liegen. Typischerweise haben sie einen gleichen Abstand zur Rilllinie, was letztendlich heißt, dass die Messerscheiben 12 und die Schneidscheiben 14 beidseitig in gleichem Abstand zur Rillscheibe 36 angeordnet sind.The trimmed product 18a is then fed to a conveyor, in particular a saddle stitcher, hanging on the folded sheet. If a so-called Umschlagfalzanleger is used as an investor, a device is further provided which folds the flat sheet itself, the so-called Planobogen, during conveying and leads as a folded product on the conveyor 34. For this purpose, a scoring disc 36 can be provided which is associated with the singling drum 22. The scoring disc 36 generates in the flat products a Sollfalzlinie along which the folding of the planographic sheet is carried out by means of the folding device 38. Furthermore, folding rollers 40 may be provided, to which the flat product by means of folding belt 39, which are arranged in the folding device 38, are transported. The folding rollers 40 fold the sheets in the direction of rotation and transfer them, for example via a support bar 42 to the conveyor 34. So if a scoring disc 36 is provided, this is positioned so that the scoring occurs along the line, which is later provided for the fold break , Usually, the cutting discs 12 and the cutting discs 14 are positioned so that they lie respectively on opposite sides of the score line. Typically they are equidistant from the crease line, which is Ultimately means that the cutting discs 12 and the cutting discs 14 are arranged on both sides at the same distance from the scoring disc 36.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Registerstandseinheit ist es nun möglich, innerhalb eines Falzanlegers eines Sammelhefters die Registerstanzung vorzunehmen. Somit sind keine zusätzlichen Aggregate und keine zusätzlichen Arbeitsgänge zum Registerstanzen erforderlich. Darüber hinaus kann der erfindungsgemäße Umschlagfalzanleger Platz sparend aufgestellt werden. Außerdem ist eine hohe Registerschneidgenauigkeit erreichbar, da der Bogen innerhalb des Anlegers fest eingespannt und geführt ist.With the register stand unit according to the invention, it is now possible to make the register punching within a folder feeder of a saddle stitcher. Thus, no additional units and no additional operations are required for register punching. In addition, the Umschlagfalzanleger invention can be set up to save space. In addition, a high register cutting accuracy can be achieved because the sheet is firmly clamped and guided within the investor.

Durch die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Einstellbarkeit der Messerscheibe und der Schneidscheiben sowohl in ihrer Position entlang der Zylinderachse 26 wie auch durch radiale Verstellung der Messerscheiben 12 ist es möglich, an sich jede gewünschte Registerlänge 32 herzustellen. Außerdem können an beiden Seiten unterschiedliche Registerlängen und -breiten eingestellt werden. Auch das Registerbeschneiden lediglich einer Seite ist einfach möglich.The inventively provided adjustability of the cutting disc and the cutting discs both in their position along the cylinder axis 26 as well as by radial adjustment of the cutting discs 12, it is possible to produce any desired register length 32. In addition, different register lengths and widths can be set on both sides. Even register trimming only one page is easily possible.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Registerstanzen weist darüber hinaus den Vorteil auf, dass eine unkomplizierte Entsorgung der Registerabschnitte erfolgen kann, da die Messerscheiben in Bogenumlaufrichtung rechts und links der Sammelkette liegen und so einfach abgesaugt werden können.The device according to the invention for register punching has the additional advantage that an uncomplicated disposal of the register sections can take place, since the cutting discs lie in the sheet circulation direction right and left of the gathering chain and can be so easily sucked.

In Figur 2 ist in einer schematischen Seitenansicht gezeigt, dass die erfindungsgemäße Registerstanzeinheit auch mehrfach entlang einer Sammelkette 34 vorgesehen werden kann. Damit können auch Produkte 18a, 18b mit eingebrachten Registerrandbeschnitten 32 übereinander auf der Sammelkette 34 bequem gesammelt werden, sodass es damit möglich ist, die gewünschten, mit Register versehenen Falzbogen übereinander zu sammeln und im Anschluss an das Sammeln einem Bindeprozess, etwa einer Hefteinrichtung, zuzuführen. Somit lassen sich auf einfache Weise Druckprodukte herstellen, die zur leichteren Auffindbarkeit bestimmter Positionen oder Seiten im Druckprodukt mit einem Register versehen sind.FIG. 2 shows, in a schematic side view, that the register punching unit according to the invention can also be provided several times along a gathering chain 34. In this way, products 18a, 18b with inserted register edge trimmings 32 can also be collected on the gathering chain 34 one above the other, so that it is possible to collect the desired registered register sheets one above the other and to supply a binding process, such as a stapler, after collecting , Thus, it is easy to produce printed products which are provided with registers for easier locating of certain positions or pages in the printed product.
