Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clamping device and trimming units for Trimming edges of a book according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • US 6,030,163 discloses a method of connecting two or more Pieces along an edge to make a bound printed product.
  • the bound printed product can have an inclined back.
  • US 5,086,681 discloses the transfer of books with the help of a Feed conveyor system that includes a belt.
  • the belt moves with less Speed than the conveyor chains, so that those arranged on the conveyor chains Shock links are subjected to a low frictional force.
  • When leaving the The conveyor system feeds the books into a first trimming station.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show one made by the inventors of the present invention Force vector analysis, in which the cutting of one end of a book 20 by a straight trimming knife 10, i.e. a trimming knife 10 with a straight edge 12, in forces occurring at an angle ⁇ are analyzed.
  • Book 20 includes Sheet material 26 and an envelope 22, which with the help of an adhesive 24 with the Sheet material 26 is connected.
  • a force FR orthogonal to the knife edge 12, arises with a Force component F1 parallel to a tangent to the interface between the Sheet material 26 and the envelope and one orthogonal to this tangent Force component FN.
  • the orthogonal force FN is at the beginning of the Cutting on top of book 26 and cover 22 by the knife 22 directed into the book.
  • the envelope 22 in the Usually not from sheet material 26.
  • the one acting on the envelope 22 is orthogonal force FN as the cutting process progresses through the lower curved one Section 28 of the envelope 22 directed away from the sheet material 26, resulting in a Detachment of the envelope 22 from the sheet material 26 can result because the force of Sheet material 26 is directed away.
  • EP 1 153 872 discloses the creation of a bevel in one collected sheet product. It becomes a method of gluing one Book spine described, which is forming a beveled spine, moving of the slanted back into a right angle to the position of the back Direction of movement and the application of adhesive includes.
  • a method according to the invention for producing a profiled back in a Book with a first page defining or forming a first level, one a second level defining or forming second side and a back provides that the book with the aid of a first clamping element contacting the first side and one the second side contacting second clamping element is clamped and that first clamping element is moved with respect to the second clamping element or is clamped between the first and the second clamping element to the back bevel by placing the first page in the first level or the second page in the second level is moved.
  • the method according to the invention advantageously enables the generation of a sloping back, e.g. can help reduce the risk of the envelope peeling off to reduce in trimmers.
  • the method preferably further provides that the oblique back is trimmed becomes.
  • the inclined back can preferably be one with respect to the first level form an acute bevel angle.
  • the trimming process can start from the first page second side.
  • the sharp bevel angle reduces the risk of detachment of the envelope during the trimming process.
  • a clamping device comprises a first clamping element and a second clamping element for clamping a bound book and an actuator, which moves the first clamping element with respect to the second clamping element to in to create a shear force on the book.
  • the present invention provides a trimmer with a knife and one Clamping device according to the invention.
  • Fig. 3 shows a first embodiment of an edge trimmer with a Clamping device 50, which has a first clamping element 52 and a second clamping element 54 includes.
  • the second clamping element 54 can be in this embodiment act on a horizontally fixed or movable base.
  • An uncircumcised book 30 has a first side 32 defining or forming a first plane 42 and one second side 34 defining or forming second level 44. Pages 32, 34 can be formed by an envelope for sheet material 36, the envelope one Spine 38 can have an adhesive 39 which binds the sheet material 36.
  • the page 34 lies horizontally on the clamping element 54, which the book 30 in advantageously gives a stable position.
  • the clamping element 52 can now be the first Clamp page 32 by moving in direction 53.
  • the clamping element 52 can e.g. be attached to a rod 55, on the side of a Cam follower 105 runs.
  • the cam follower 105 can be pivoted from one Cam follower 105 attached piston 100 are driven, the other end is pivotally attached to a fixed bracket, so that the cam follower 105 one Cam 112 in a cam base 110 follows.
  • the Cam follower 105 moves down cam in direction 53 so that the clamping element 52 the book 30 is jammed.
  • the clamping element 52 can then move in the direction 57 be moved when the cam follower 105 has a horizontal portion of the cam 112 reached so that the first side 32 moving along the plane 42 with a Shear force F is applied.
  • the second side 32 remains stationary on the stationary Clamping element 54, so that between the back 38 and the first level 42 a sharp Angle ⁇ is generated.
  • a reciprocating side trimming knife 60 with a knife edge 62 can be in the Direction 64 can be moved to crop the pages of book 30.
  • Fig. 8 shown is that acting on the back 38 by the force FR of the knife 60 generated orthogonal force FN increases, so that the risk of detachment of the Coverage along wide areas of the back can be reduced.
  • FIG. 7 shows a top view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3.
  • the edges 131 and 132 of the book 30 protrude past the clamping elements 52 and 54, so that the Trimming knives 60, 160 can trim the edges 132 and 131, respectively.
  • the clamping element 54 can also be designed as a moving conveyor device. To create the bevel, however, a relative movement between the Clamping elements 52 and 54 necessary.
  • Fig. 5 shows a second embodiment of the clamping device according to the invention, the a first clamping element 82 with a clamping attachment 182 and a second clamping element 84 with a clamping attachment 184.
  • the clamping elements 82, 84 can be used as arms be formed, which clamp the book in a first movement and then be shifted relative to each other so that a differential movement arises, which generates the shear force F.
  • Fig. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the clamping device according to the invention a first moving in a first direction 72 Clamping element 92 and a second clamping element 94 moving in a direction 74 includes.
  • Directions 72 and 74 can be identical; in this case it would Move the clamping element 94 more slowly than the clamping element 92.
  • the clamping elements 92, 94 can thus be designed as moving conveyor belts which cover the sides 32 or 34 apply a frictional force.
  • clamping Element means any type of element that is the page of a book applied with a frictional force, thus moving the page of the book.
