Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Vorrichtungen zur Ausrichtung von in einer Lage übereinander angeordneten Bogen zu schaffen. The invention is based on the object, devices for the alignment of in one Able to create stacked sheets.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 oder 2 gelöst.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1 or 2.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass die Lage der Bogen mit nicht ausgerichteter Vorderkante nicht unmittelbar auf dem Auflagetisch abgelegt wird, sondern auf einer vorgelagerten Tragplatte. Dabei ist ein Bogenanlegen in der Vorrichtung vorgesehen, der die auf der Tragplatte abgelegten Bogen vereinzelt und in der Form eines Schuppenstroms zum Vorderfcantenanschlag des Auflagetisches fördert. Der Bogenanleger ist dabei so auszubilden, dass sich ein untergeschuppter Schuppenstrom bildet, d. h. die Vorderkante eines jeden Bogens jeweils unterhalb des jeweils vorhergehenden Bogens gefördert wird, so dass im Ergebnis die Lage von der Tragplatte zum Auflagetisch hin nicht umgestapelt wird, sondern die Reihenfolge der Bogen erhalten bleibt. Dadurch, dass die Bogen jeweils einzeln an den Vorderkantenanschlag gefördert und dort ausgerichtet werden, wird eine hohe Ausrichtgenauigkeit erreicht. Zur konstruktiven Schaffung der Vorrichtung können bekannte Bogenanleger, wie sie zur vereinzelten Zuführung von Bogen in eine Bogendruckmaschine Einsatz finden, leicht modifiziert zum Einsatz kommen. Zur konstruktiven Abänderung bekannter Bogenanleger muss insbesondere am Auflagetisch, in dessen Ebene der Schuppenstrom gefördert wird, ein Vorderkantenanschlag vorgesehen werden.The achievable with the present invention consist in particular that the situation the sheet with unoriented leading edge is not directly on the support table is stored, but on an upstream support plate. This is a sheet creation in provided the device which separates the sheets deposited on the support plate and in the form of a scale flow to the front edge stop of the support table promotes. The sheet feeder is designed so that a untergeschuppter Shingled stream forms, d. H. the leading edge of each sheet below the each preceding arc is promoted, so that as a result the location of the Support plate to the support table is not repackaged, but the order of Bow is preserved. The fact that the sheets each individually to the Promoted leading edge stop and aligned there is a high Alignment accuracy achieved. For constructive creation of the device can known sheet feeder, as they are for the occasional feeding of sheets in one Sheet-fed press find use, slightly modified come used. to constructive modification of known sheet feeder must in particular on the support table, in the plane of the scale flow is promoted, a leading edge stop be provided.

Zur Herstellung der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Vorrichtung 01 kann von einem herkömmlichen Bogenanleger ausgegangen werden, wie er zur vereinzelten Zufuhr von Bogen in eine Bogendruckmaschine Verwendung findet.For the preparation of the device 01 shown in Fig. 1 can of a conventional Sheet feeders are assumed, as he for the isolated supply of sheets in one Sheetfed press is used.

Derartige Bogenanleger weisen eine Tragplatte 02 auf, auf deren Oberseite die Bogen 09 in einer Lage 03 mit Bogen 09, bei denen zumindest eine Seitenkanten noch nicht ausgerichtet ist, abgelegt werden können. Mittels der Sauger 04; 06 und dem Drückerfuß 08 mit integrierter Luftdüse werden die Bogen 09 von der Lage 03 vereinzelt in Richtung des Auflagetisches 11 gefördert. Der Auflagetisch 11 ist dabei in der Art eines Saugbändertisches 11 mit umlaufenden Saugbändern 12 ausgebildet.Such sheet feeder have a support plate 02, on the upper side of the bow 09 in a position 03 with bow 09, where at least one side edges not yet is aligned, can be stored. By means of the sucker 04; 06 and the presser foot 08 with integrated air nozzle, the arc 09 are separated from the position 03 in the direction the support table 11 promoted. The support table 11 is in the manner of a Suction belt table 11 formed with circumferential suction belts 12.

Im Ergebnis wird durch den Einsatz der Sauger 04; 06, des Anschlags 07, des Drückerfußes 08 und der Saugbänder 12 erreicht, dass die Bogen 09 von der Tragplatte 02 in der Form eines untergeschuppten Schuppenstroms zum Auflagetisch 11 hin gefördert werden. Am in Förderrichtung der Bogen 09 hinteren Ende des Auflagentisches 11 ist ein Vorderkantenanschlag 13 angeordnet, gegen den die Vorderkante der Bogen 09 durch die Vorschubbewegung der Saugbänder 12 gefördert und dabei ausgerichtet werden. Die Ausrichtung der Bogen 09 am Vorderkantenanschlag 13 wird dabei durch die Neigung des Auflagentisches 11 in Richtung des Vorderkantenanschlages 13 unterstützt, da sich die auf die Bogen 09 wirkenden Gewichtskräfte entsprechend dem Neigungswinkel des Auflagetisches 11 in eine horizontal und eine vertikal wirkende Komponente aufteilen. Um die auf die Bogen 09 wirkenden Gewichtskräfte variieren zu können, ist es deshalb besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Neigungswinkel des Auflagetisches 11 veränderbar ist.As a result, by the use of the sucker 04; 06, the 07, the Presser foot 08 and the suction belts 12 reaches that the bow 09 of the support plate 02 in the form of a untergeschuppten scale flow to the support table 11 out be encouraged. Am in the conveying direction of the bow 09 rear end of the support table 11, a leading edge stop 13 is disposed against which the leading edge of the bow 09 promoted by the advancing movement of the suction belts 12 and thereby aligned become. The orientation of the sheet 09 at the leading edge stop 13 is thereby by the Supports inclination of the support table 11 in the direction of the leading edge stop 13, because the weights acting on the bow 09 weight forces according to the Inclination angle of the support table 11 in a horizontally and vertically acting Split component. To vary the forces acting on the bow 09 weight forces Therefore, it is particularly advantageous if the angle of inclination of the Support table 11 is changeable.

Fortlaufende Zuförderung der Bogen 09 von der Lage 03 auf der Tragplatte 02 bildet sich auf dem Auflagetisch 11 eine Lage 14 von übereinander angeordneten Bogen 09, deren Vorderkante jeweils am Vorderkantenanschlag 13 ausgerichtet ist. Aufgrund der Unterschuppung des Schuppenstroms bleibt dabei die Reihenfolge der Bogen 09 erhalten.Continuous feed of the sheet 09 from the layer 03 on the support plate 02 forms on the support table 11 a layer 14 of superimposed sheets 09, the Leading edge is aligned in each case on the leading edge stop 13. Due to the Unterschuppung the scale flow remains the order of the bow 09th receive.

Der auszurichtende Bogen 09 muss unter die Lage 14 der bereits ausgerichteten Bogen 09 eingeschoben werden. Dabei wirken auf den jeweils auszurichtenden Bogen 09 um so höhere Gewichtskräfte, je dicker die Lage 14 bereits ist. Um die der Ausrichtbewegung des jeweils auszurichtenden Bogens 09 entgegenwirkenden Reibungskräfte zwischen der Lage 14 und der Oberseite des jeweils auszurichtenden Bogens 09 nicht unzulässig groß werden zu lassen, kann an der Vorrichtung 01 eine Blasvorrichtung 16 vorgesehen werden, mit der Luft, insbesondere ionisierte Luft, von der hinteren Kante der ausgerichteten Bogen 09 aus zwischen den jeweils vordersten Bogen 09 des Schuppenstroms und die Lage 14 geblasen wird. Im Ergebnis wird dadurch zwischen der Lage 14 und dem jeweils nächsten auszurichtenden Bogen 09 ein Luftpolster gebildet und dementsprechend die Reibung verringert.The aligned sheet 09 must be under the layer 14 of the already aligned bow 09 are inserted. This act on the respective sheet to be aligned 09 so higher weight forces, the thicker the layer 14 is already. Around the alignment movement of each sheet to be aligned 09 counteracting frictional forces between the Layer 14 and the top of each sheet to be aligned 09 not impermissibly large to be allowed, a blowing device 16 may be provided on the device 01 be, with the air, especially ionized air, from the rear edge of the aligned bow 09 from between the foremost bow 09 of the Schuppenstrom and the situation 14 is blown. The result is thereby between the Layer 14 and the next sheet to be aligned 09 formed an air cushion and accordingly reduces the friction.

In Fig. 2 ist eine zweites Ausführungsbeispiel einer Vorrichtung 21 in perspektivischer Ansicht von schräg oben dargestellt. Bei der Vorrichtung 21 ist eine Tragplatte 22 vorgesehen, auf deren Oberseite eine Lage 23 von Bogen 29 mit nicht ausgerichteten Vorderkanten abgelegt werden kann. Oberhalb der Tragplatte 22 ist eine dreiachsig verfahrbare Saugvorrichtung 24 angeordnet, deren Saugnäpfe 26 auf der Oberseite des jeweils obersten Bogens 29 der Lage 23 zur Anlage gebracht werden können. Durch eine entsprechende Förderbewegung der Saugnäpfe 26 kann der jeweils oberste Bogen 29 der Lage 23 einzeln abgehoben und in Richtung des Auflagetisches 27 gefördert werden. Dabei führt die Saugvorrichtung 24 eine Förderbewegung aus, so dass die Bogen 29 im Ergebnis von der Lage 23 in einem untergeschuppten Schuppenstrom zum Auflagetisch 27 hin gefördert werden.In Fig. 2 is a second embodiment of a device 21 in perspective View from diagonally above. In the device 21 is a support plate 22nd provided on the upper side a layer 23 of sheet 29 with non-aligned Leading edges can be stored. Above the support plate 22 is a triaxial movable suction device 24 is arranged, the suction cups 26 on the top of the each top sheet 29 of the layer 23 can be brought to bear. By a corresponding conveying movement of the suction cups 26 may be the top sheet 29th the layer 23 individually lifted and promoted in the direction of the support table 27. In this case, the suction device 24 performs a conveying movement, so that the sheet 29 in the Result of the layer 23 in a subdivided scale flow to the support table 27 promoted.

Der Auflagetisch 27 ist als Saugbändertisch 27 mit Saugbändern 28 (siehe Fig. 3) ausgebildet, so dass die Bogen 29 nach der Vereinzelung auf der Oberseite des Auflagetisches 27 in Richtung eines Vorderkantenanschlages 31 gefördert und durch Anlage an diesen ausgerichtet werden.The support table 27 is a suction belt table 27 with suction belts 28 (see FIG. 3). formed so that the sheet 29 after singulation on top of the Supported table 27 in the direction of a leading edge stop 31 promoted and by Plant to be aligned with these.
