  • the object is achieved in a generic device in that the collating a digital printing machine for sequential digital printing of sheets is connected upstream and that the stacking device of the collator is formed at the stacking points for stacking successively transported sheet to book blocks. Due to the alternative loading of the two stacking points an interruption can be avoided. The paper tension can be maintained. A new tightening, aligning and clocking is not required. It is essential that a continuous formation of loose blocks of books is possible.
  • the inventive device is particularly suitable for the so-called FOD (Finishing on Demand). It is also possible to produce small editions of books sequentially in digital printing become. The range of such requirements is, for example, between 1 and 3000.
  • the device according to the invention allows cost-effective production of such small runs in digital printing.
  • the first transport device 4 has two endless belts 17 and 18 which are guided around two guide rollers 20 and 21 and which feed the sheets 1 transported in a row one behind the other in the direction of the arrow 40 to a stacking device 3.
  • This stacking device 3 has two switches 12 and 13, which can be set so that the sheets 1 can optionally be fed to a first stacking magazine 7, a second stacking magazine 8 or a waste container 16. In the position of the switch 12 shown in Fig.
  • the sheet 1 are directed down and stored in the direction of the arrow 42 in the stacking magazine 7. There are so many sheets 1 stored in the stacking magazine 7 until a loose book block 2 is formed.
  • the stacking magazine 7 can be moved to align the loose book block 2 back and forth.
  • the bottom of the stacking magazine 7 is formed by a plurality of rods 49, which are withdrawn after the complete formation of the book block 2, so that the book block 2 falls down on a second transport device 5.
  • This second Transport device 5 is designed as a table and has at predetermined intervals driver 46, which transport the deposited book blocks 2 in the direction of the arrow 41 to a transversely actuated slide 44. Instead of drivers could also be used a conveyor belt. In front of this slide 44 embarkstossfinger 45 are arranged.
  • the book blocks can be stopped and moved with the slider 44 transversely to the transport device and aligned at a fixed edge.
  • the lateral displacement of the book blocks 2 could also be done with a diagonal promoting means, for example. Driven band that is adjustable.
  • the impact fingers 45 are lowered and the book block 2 is further transported in the direction of the arrow 41 to a further processing machine 6.
  • This further processing machine 6 is in particular an adhesive binding machine in which the book blocks 2 are bonded in a known manner on a turntable not shown here and provided with an envelope. But there are also other finishing machines, such as sewing machines possible.
  • a book block 2 is formed in the stack magazine 7, then the switch 12 is changed over and the following sheets 1 are transported horizontally to the switch 13. If this is in the position shown in FIG. 2, these sheets 1 are deposited downwards and in the direction of the arrow 43 in the stacking magazine 8. If a book block 2 is formed, then this is also dropped onto the second transport device 5 and transported by the driver 46 to the slider 44, where this book block 2 is aligned. Subsequently, this book block 2 of the further processing machine 6 is supplied. Is in the stacking magazine 8, a book block 2 is formed, the subsequent sheet 1 are fed back to the stack magazine 7.
  • the gathering machine 50 thus has two stacking points A and B, which are driven alternately to form a book block 2.
  • the second transport device 5 is controlled so that the printed sheets 2 do not collide.
  • the two switches 12 and 13 are set so that the sheet 1 are transported horizontally in the waste container 16.
  • the gathering machine 60 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 has a first transport device 4 'which transports the printed sheets 1 to be stacked in the direction of the arrow 27 to a switch 14. After this switch 14 bands 22 and 23 are arranged, which transport the sheets 1 depending on the position of the switch 14 either up or down. If the switch is in the position shown in FIG. 4, the sheets 1 are deflected upwards.
  • a second transport device 3 ' is arranged, which is Y-shaped and has two arms 25 and 26. On these arms 25 and 26, the sheets 1 are preferably transported in the scale flow.
  • pressure rollers 24 are provided which cooperate with the arms 25 and 26 to form a scale flow. The formation of such scale flows is known per se to the person skilled in the art.
  • Fig. 4 is such a scale flow S indicated.
  • the switch 14 If the switch 14 is in the position shown in FIG. 4, the sheets 1 are transported to the arm 25 and with it via a downwardly directed region 25a into a collection channel 9.
