Abstract

The method involves introducing two folded and closed printed products in a holding compartment, and moving the compartment in a conveying direction. Each product is opened and an insert is inserted into the product, during the movement of the compartment. The introduced products have respective side surfaces resting against each other and are moved in that position jointly along a processing section, before opening. An independent claim is also included for an apparatus for producing final printed products, comprising a feed unit.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 bzw. des Anspruches 16.The present invention relates to a method and a device for producing printed products according to the preamble of claim 1 and of claim 16, respectively.

In der EP-A-0 911 289 und der entsprechenden US-B-6,311,968 ist ein Verfahren dieser Art und eine entsprechende Vorrichtung beschrieben. Bei diesem bekannten Verfahren wird zuerst ein erstes gefaltetes und geschlossenes Hauptprodukt in ein taschenförmiges Aufnahmeabteil eingebracht, das anschliessend während seiner Bewegung entlang des Verarbeitungsweges geöffnet wird. In das geöffnete Hauptprodukt werden Einlagen (Teilprodukte und/oder Beilagen) eingesteckt. Ist dieser Einsteckvorgang beendet, wird das Hauptprodukt mit den innen liegenden Einlagen geschlossen und an die eine Wand des Aufnahmeabteils angelegt. Nun wird in das gleiche Aufnahmeabteil ein zweites gefaltetes, geschlossenes Hauptprodukt eingeführt, das gleich wie das erste Hauptprodukt während seiner Bewegung entlang des Verarbeitungsweges geöffnet, mit Einlagen versehen und dann geschlossen wird. Am Ende des Verarbeitungsweges werden die beiden fertigen, geschlossenen Endprodukte, die jeweils aus einem Hauptprodukt und in dieses eingesteckten Einlagen bestehen, dem Aufnahmeabteil entnommen.In EP-A-0 911 289 and corresponding US-B-6,311,968 a method of this kind and a corresponding device are described. In this known method, first a first folded and closed main product is introduced into a pocket-shaped receiving compartment, which is then opened during its movement along the processing path. Inserts (partial products and / or supplements) are inserted into the opened main product. If this insertion process is completed, the main product is closed with the internal deposits and applied to the one wall of the receiving compartment. Now, in the same receiving compartment, a second folded, closed main product is introduced which, like the first main product, is opened, padded and then closed during its movement along the processing path. At the end of the processing path, the two finished, closed end products, each consisting of a main product and inserted into this deposits, removed from the receiving compartment.

Bei diesem bekannten Verfahren werden die zwei Hauptprodukte nacheinander in ein Aufnahmeabteil eingeführt und mit Einlagen versehen. Das Fertigstellen der beiden Endprodukte im selben Aufnahmeabteil erfolgt somit entlang zweier aufeinander folgender Abschnitte des Verarbeitungsweges. Der Verarbeitungsweg ist deshalb verhältnismässig lang. Das zuerst fertig gestellte Endprodukt verbleibt während der Herstellung des zweiten Endproduktes im Verarbeitungsweg und wird diesem erst nach Fertigstellung des zweiten Endproduktes entnommen.In this known method, the two main products are successively introduced into a receiving compartment and provided with deposits. The finishing The two end products in the same receiving compartment thus takes place along two successive sections of the processing path. The processing path is therefore relatively long. The first finished product remains during the production of the second end product in the processing path and this is taken only after completion of the second end product.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit dem bzw. mit der mit geringerem zeitlichem und apparativem Aufwand Druckereierzeugnisse bestehend aus einem Druckereiprodukt und Einlagen hergestellt werden können.The present invention is now based on the object to provide a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned, with or with the less time and equipment expense printed products consisting of a printed matter and deposits can be produced.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss mit einem Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 bzw. mit einer Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 16 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention with a method having the features of claim 1 or with a device having the features of claim 16.

Dadurch, dass das Öffnen der Druckereiprodukte und das Einstecken der Einlagen erfolgt, während die beiden Druckereiprodukte mit einer ihrer Seitenflächen aneinander anliegend gemeinsam entlang der Verarbeitungsstrecke bewegt werden, ist die für das Fertigstellen der beiden Druckereierzeugnisse erforderliche Verarbeitungsstrecke vergleichsweise kurz. Zudem kann der apparative Aufwand klein gehalten werden.Characterized in that the opening of the printed products and the insertion of the deposits takes place while the two printed products are moved together with one of their side surfaces adjacent to each other along the processing line, the required for the completion of the two printed products processing path is comparatively short. In addition, the expenditure on equipment can be kept small.

Bevorzugte Weiterausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens und der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung bilden Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.Preferred further developments of the inventive method and the inventive device form the subject of the dependent claims.

In den Fig. 1a bis 1c sind taschenförmige Aufnahmeabteile 1 einer Fördereinrichtung 2, deren Förderrichtung mit A bezeichnet ist, gezeigt. Die Aufnahmeabteile 1 sind in der erwähnten Förderrichtung A hintereinander angeordnet und werden in Förderrichtung A auf an sich bekannte, nicht näher dargestellte Weise entlang einer Verarbeitungsstrecke 3 bewegt. Die Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen die in den Fig. 1a bzw. 1c dargestellten Aufnahmeabteile 1 in Richtung der Pfeile B bzw. C in den Fig. 1a und 1c. Jedes Aufnahmeabteil 1 weist zwei sich gegenüberliegende und quer zur Förderrichtung A stehende Abteilwände 4 und 5 auf, die durch einen Boden 6 miteinander verbunden sind. Jedem Aufnahmeabteil 1 sind zwei Öffnungselemente 7 und 8 zugeordnet, deren Enden keilförmig ausgebildet sind (Fig. 1a, 1b, 1c). Die Öffnungselemente 7, 8 weisen eine schräg verlaufende Einstechkante 7a, 8a auf (Fig. 4). Die Öffnungselemente 7, 8 sind in entgegengesetzten Richtungen E und D aufeinander zu und voneinander weg bewegbar. Zu jedem Aufnahmeabteil 1 gehören ferner zwei Schiebeelemente 9 und 10, die in Richtung der Pfeile F und G aufeinander zu und voneinander weg bewegbar sind.In FIGS. 1a to 1c, pocket-shaped receiving compartments 1 of a conveyor 2, whose conveying direction is designated by A, are shown. The receiving compartments 1 are arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction A mentioned above and are moved along a processing line 3 in the conveying direction A in a manner known per se, not shown in greater detail. FIGS. 2 and 3 show the receiving compartments 1 shown in FIGS. 1a and 1c, respectively, in the direction of the arrows B and C in FIGS. 1a and 1c. Each receiving compartment 1 has two opposite and perpendicular to the conveying direction A compartment walls 4 and 5, which are interconnected by a bottom 6. Each receiving compartment 1 is associated with two opening elements 7 and 8, the ends of which are wedge-shaped (FIGS. 1a, 1b, 1c). The opening elements 7, 8 have an obliquely extending piercing edge 7a, 8a (FIG. 4). The opening elements 7, 8 are movable towards and away from each other in opposite directions E and D. For each receiving compartment 1 further includes two sliding elements 9 and 10, which are movable toward each other and away from each other in the direction of arrows F and G.

In jedem Aufnahmeabteil 1 befinden sich zwei gefaltete Druckereiprodukte 11, 12, von denen jedes Teil eines Druckereierzeugnisses ist. Jedes Druckereiprodukt 11, 12 weist zwei Produktehälften 11a, 11b bzw. 12a, 12b auf, die entlang einer Falzkante 11c bzw. 12c miteinander verbunden sind. Die eine Produktehälfte 11a bzw. 12a jedes Druckereiproduktes 11, 12 weist einen vorstehenden Randabschnitt 13 bzw. 14 auf, der über die andere Produktehälfte 11b bzw. 12b vorsteht (Fig. 2 und 3). Dieser vorstehende Randabschnitt 13, 14 wird auch Vorfalz genannt. Die beiden Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 liegen mit einer ihrer Seitenfläche aneinander an. Genauer gesagt, liegt die Aussenseite des kürzeren Produkteteils 11b des Druckereiproduktes 11 an der Aussenseite des längeren Produkteteils 12a des anderen Druckereiproduktes 12 an. Die beiden Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 werden in dieser Lage gemeinsam entlang der Förderstrecke 3 bewegt, wie das die Fig. 1a bis 1c zeigen.In each receiving compartment 1 there are two folded Printed matter 11, 12, each of which is part of a printed matter. Each printed product 11, 12 has two product halves 11a, 11b and 12a, 12b, which are connected to one another along a folded edge 11c or 12c. The one product half 11a or 12a of each printed product 11, 12 has a protruding edge portion 13 or 14, which projects beyond the other product half 11b or 12b (FIGS. 2 and 3). This projecting edge portion 13, 14 is also called Vorfalz. The two printed products 11, 12 abut one another with one of their side surfaces. More specifically, the outside of the shorter product part 11b of the printed product 11 bears against the outside of the longer product part 12a of the other printed product 12. The two printed products 11, 12 are moved together in this position along the conveying path 3, as shown in FIGS. 1a to 1c.

Anhand der Fig. 1a bis 1c sowie den Fig. 2 bis 4 wird nun der Ablauf eines Einsteckvorganges erläutert. Dabei sind in den Fig. 1a bis 1c zeitlich aufeinanderfolgende Verfahrensschritte gezeigt.The sequence of a plug-in process will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 1a to 1c and FIGS. 2 to 4. In this case, temporally successive method steps are shown in Figs. 1a to 1c.

Zuerst werden mittels einer nicht näher dargestellten Zuführeinrichtung in ein Aufnahmeabteil 1 zwei Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 derart eingeführt, dass letztere sich an einer Seitenfläche berührend mit ihrer Falzkante 11c, 12c am Abteilboden 6 aufliegen. Die Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 können dabei gemeinsam oder nacheinander in das Aufnahmeabteil 1 eingeführt werden. Dann werden die Schiebeelemente 9, 10 in Richtung der Pfeile F, G aufeinander zu in eine Klemmstellung verschoben. In dieser Klemmstellung nehmen die beiden Schiebeelemente 9, 10 die beiden aneinanderliegenden Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 zwischen sich auf (Fig. 1a).First, two printed products 11, 12 are introduced by means of a feeding device, not shown in a receiving compartment 1 such that the latter rest on a side surface touching their folded edge 11c, 12c on the compartment floor 6. The printed products 11, 12 can be introduced together or successively into the receiving compartment 1. Then, the sliding elements 9, 10 in the direction of the arrows F, G shifted towards each other in a clamping position. In this clamping position, the two sliding elements 9, 10 take the two adjoining printed products 11, 12 between them (Fig. 1a).

Nun werden die Schiebeelemente 9, 10 in Richtung zum zugeordneten Öffnungselement 7 bzw. 8 hin in Richtung der Pfeile H bzw. I verschoben. Dabei nimmt jedes Schiebeelement 9 bzw. 10 das zugeordnete Druckereiprodukt 11 bzw. 12 mit. Dies bedeutet, dass die Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 in entgegengesetzten Richtungen gegeneinander verschoben und gegen das zugeordnete Öffnungselement 7 bzw. 8 bewegt werden, wie das die Fig. 1b zeigt. Für eine genauere Beschreibung des Aufbaus und der Wirkungsweise der Schiebeelemente 9, 10 wird auf die EP-A- 0 301 244, insbesondere Fig. 6, verwiesen.Now, the sliding elements 9, 10 are displaced in the direction of the arrows H and I in the direction of the associated opening element 7 and 8, respectively. Each sliding element takes 9 or 10 with the associated printed product 11 or 12 with. This means that the printed products 11, 12 are moved in opposite directions against each other and moved against the associated opening element 7 and 8, as shown in FIG. 1b. For a more detailed description of the construction and the mode of action of the sliding elements 9, 10, reference is made to EP-A-0 301 244, in particular FIG. 6.

Wie die Fig. 1b und 4 erkennen lassen, fahren die Öffnungselemente 7, 8 mit ihrer Einstechkante 7a, 8a voraus zwischen die beiden Produktehälften 11a, 11b bzw. 12a, 12b ein. Dabei greifen die Öffnungselemente 7, 8 mit ihrer Schrägfläche 7b, bzw. 8b zuerst am vorstehenden Randabschnitt 13 bzw. 14 des zugeordneten Druckereiproduktes 11 bzw. 12 an.As can be seen from FIGS. 1b and 4, the opening elements 7, 8 with their piercing edge 7a, 8a advance between the two product halves 11a, 11b and 12a, 12b. In this case, the opening elements 7, 8 engage with their inclined surface 7b, or 8b first on the protruding edge portion 13 and 14 of the associated printed product 11 and 12 respectively.

Haben die Schiebeelemente 9, 10 ihre Verschiebe-Endposition erreicht, so werden sie voneinander weg in eine Ruhestellung bewegt, in der sie sich in einer Öffnung 4a bzw. 5a in der Abteilwand 4 bzw. 5 befinden (Fig. 1c und 3). Die Produktehälfte 11a bzw. die Produktehälfte 12b kann sich nun von der anderen Produktehälfte 11b bzw. 12a abheben. Diese Abhebebewegung wird unterstützt durch das Einfahren der Öffnungselemente 7 und 8 in Richtung der Pfeile D und E zwischen die beiden Produktehälften 11a, 11b und 12a, 12b (Fig. 1c). In die so gebildete Öffnung zwischen den beiden Produktehälften 11a, 11b und 12a, 12b der beiden Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 werden nun mit Hilfe von nicht näher dargestellten Zuführmitteln Einlagen 15 bzw. 16 in Richtung der Pfeile K und L (Fig. 3) eingeführt. Diese Einlagen 15, 16 sind z.B. sogenannte Vorprodukte oder Beilagen und bilden einen weiteren Teil des Druckereierzeugnisses. Falls erwünscht, können weitere Einlagen in die geöffneten Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 eingesteckt werden.If the sliding elements 9, 10 have reached their displacement end position, they are moved away from one another into a rest position in which they are located in an opening 4a or 5a in the compartment wall 4 or 5 (FIGS. 1c and 3). The product half 11a or the product half 12b can now stand out from the other product half 11b or 12a. This lift-off movement is assisted by the retraction of the opening elements 7 and 8 in the direction of the arrows D and E between the two product halves 11a, 11b and 12a, 12b (FIG. 1c). Into the opening thus formed between the two product halves 11a, 11b and 12a, 12b of the two printed products 11, 12 inserts 15 and 16 are now introduced in the direction of the arrows K and L (Fig. 3) with the aid of feeding means, not shown. These deposits 15, 16 are, for example, so-called precursors or supplements and form another part of the printed matter. If desired, further inserts can be inserted into the opened printed products 11, 12.

Ist der Einsteckvorgang beendet, d.h. sind alle Einlagen in die Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 eingeführt worden, werden die Öffnungselemente 7, 8 wieder zurückbewegt, was ein Schliessen der mit Einlagen 15, 16 versehenen Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 ermöglicht. Dieses Schliessen kann beispielsweise durch ein Kippen des Aufnahmeabteiles 1 um eine quer zur Förderrichtung A verlaufende Achse erfolgen, wobei dann beide Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 an der Abteilwand 4 oder an der Abteilwand 5 zur Anlage kommen. Es ist aber auch möglich, zum Schliessen der Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 die beiden Schiebeelemente 9, 10 wieder in Richtung der Pfeile F, G aufeinander zu zu bewegen. Durch Verschieben der Schiebeelemente 9, 10 in einer Richtung, die den Pfeilen H bzw. G entgegengesetzt ist, können die Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 samt Einlagen 15, 16 in ihre ursprüngliche deckungsgleiche Lage zurückverschoben werden. Die fertigen Druckereierzeugnisse, bestehend aus einem Druckereiprodukt 11, 12 und einer oder mehreren Einlagen 15, 16, können nun dem Aufnahmeabteil 1 entnommen werden.If the insertion process is completed, i. when all inserts have been introduced into the printed products 11, 12, the opening elements 7, 8 are moved back again, which makes it possible to close the printed products 11, 12 provided with inserts 15, 16. This closing can take place, for example, by tilting the receiving compartment 1 about an axis extending transversely to the conveying direction A, in which case both printed products 11, 12 come to rest on the compartment wall 4 or on the compartment wall 5. But it is also possible to close the printed products 11, 12, the two sliding elements 9, 10 again in the direction of the arrows F, G toward each other. By moving the sliding elements 9, 10 in a direction opposite to the arrows H and G, the printed products 11, 12 together with inserts 15, 16 can be moved back to their original congruent position. The finished printed products, consisting of a printed product 11, 12 and one or more inserts 15, 16, can now be removed from the receiving compartment 1.

Anhand der Fig. 5a bis 5c sowie 6a bis 6c, die darstellungsmässig den Fig. 1a bis 1c entsprechen, werden zwei weitere Ausführungsbeispiele des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens, die Varianten des anhand der Fig. 1a bis 1c und 2 bis 4 erläuterten Verfahrens sind, beschrieben. Dabei werden in den Fig. 5a bis 5c und 6a bis 6c für sich entsprechende Teile dieselben Bezugszeichen verwendet wie in den Fig. 1a bis 1c.With reference to FIGS. 5a to 5c and 6a to 6c, which represent the FIGS. 1a to 1c correspond, are two further embodiments of the inventive method, which are variants of the explained with reference to FIGS. 1a to 1c and 2 to 4 method described. In this case, the same reference numerals are used in FIGS. 5a to 5c and 6a to 6c for corresponding parts as in FIGS. 1a to 1c.

Die Ausführungsform gemäss den Fig. 5a bis 5c unterscheidet sich von der Ausführungsform gemäss den Fig. 1a bis 1c dadurch, dass die Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 für den Öffnungsvorgang nicht quer zur Förderrichtung A gegeneinander verschoben werden. Die Schiebeelemente 9, 10 sind daher nicht in Richtung der Pfeile H, I verschiebbar, sondern nur in Richtung der Pfeile F, G aufeinander zu und voneinander weg bewegbar.The embodiment according to FIGS. 5a to 5c differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 1a to 1c in that the printed products 11, 12 are not displaced relative to one another transversely to the conveying direction A for the opening process. The sliding elements 9, 10 are therefore not in the direction of the arrows H, I displaced, but only in the direction of the arrows F, G towards each other and away from each other movable.

Wie die Fig. 5a und 5b zeigen, werden die Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 durch die sich in ihrer Klemmstellung befindlichen Schiebeelemente 9, 10 gegeneinander gedrückt. Das gleichzeitige Öffnen der beiden Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 erfolgt durch Bewegen der Öffnungselemente 7, 8 in Richtung der Pfeile D und E. Damit sich die Druckereiprodukte 11 und 12 nach dem Einfahren der Öffnungselemente 7, 8 öffnen können, werden die Schiebeelemente 9, 10 in ihre in der Fig. 5c gezeigte Ruhestellung zurückbewegt.As shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b, the printed products 11, 12 are pressed against one another by the sliding elements 9, 10 located in their clamping position. The simultaneous opening of the two printed products 11, 12 takes place by moving the opening elements 7, 8 in the direction of arrows D and E. Thus, the printed products 11 and 12 can open after retraction of the opening elements 7, 8, the sliding elements 9, 10 in their rest position shown in Fig. 5c moved back.

Im übrigen läuft das Einbringen der Einlagen 15 und 16 und das nachfolgende Schliessen der Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 auf dieselbe Weise wie anhand der Fig. 1a bis 1c beschrieben ab.Incidentally, the introduction of the inserts 15 and 16 and the subsequent closure of the printed products 11, 12 in the same manner as described with reference to FIGS. 1a to 1c.

Im Unterschied zum anhand der Fig. 1a bis 1c beschriebenen Verfahren bleibt beim Verfahren gemäss den Fig. 6a bis 6c ein Druckereiprodukt, nämlich das Druckereiprodukt 12, während des Öffnungsvorgangs stationär, während das andere Druckereiprodukt 11 mittels des zugeordneten Schiebeelementes 9 gegen das feststehende Öffnungselement 7 geschoben wird. Um das stationäre Druckereiprodukt 12 öffnen zu können, wird das zugeordnete Öffnungselement 8 zusammen mit dem Schiebeelement 9 in Richtung des Pfeils E (Fig. 6b) bewegt. Die Mitnahmeverbindung zwischen dem Schiebeelement 9 und dem Öffnungselement 8 ist mit 17 bezeichnet.In contrast to the described with reference to FIGS. 1a to 1c Method remains in the process according to FIGS. 6a to 6c, a printed product, namely the printed product 12, stationary during the opening process, while the other printed product 11 is pushed by the associated sliding element 9 against the fixed opening element 7. In order to be able to open the stationary printed product 12, the associated opening element 8 is moved together with the sliding element 9 in the direction of the arrow E (FIG. 6b). The driving connection between the sliding element 9 and the opening element 8 is denoted by 17.

Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform werden auch das Öffnungselement 7 und das Schiebeelement 10 miteinander bewegt, und zwar in einer Richtung, die dem Pfeil E entgegengesetzt ist. Die entsprechende Mitnahmeverbindung zwischen dem Öffnungselement 7 und dem Schiebeelement 10 ist mit 18 bezeichnet.In an alternative embodiment, the opening element 7 and the sliding element 10 are moved together, in a direction opposite to the arrow E. The corresponding driving connection between the opening element 7 and the sliding element 10 is designated by 18.

Nachfolgend werden einige der vielen möglichen Varianten zu den vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.Below, some of the many possible variants of the embodiments described above are explained in detail.

Bei der in den Fig. 1a bis 1c beschriebenen Ausführungsform wäre es auch möglich, auf ein Verschieben der Öffnungselemente 7 und 8 in Richtung der Pfeile D, E zu verzichten und die Öffnungselemente 7, 8 stationär anzuordnen. Diese Massnahme eignet sich vor allem für die Verarbeitung von Druckereiprodukten 11, 12 mit kleinen Abmessungen.In the embodiment described in FIGS. 1a to 1c, it would also be possible to dispense with a displacement of the opening elements 7 and 8 in the direction of the arrows D, E and to arrange the opening elements 7, 8 stationary. This measure is particularly suitable for the processing of printed products 11, 12 with small dimensions.

Die Öffnungselemente 7, 8 können am zugeordneten Aufnahmeabteil 1 angeordnet sein und mit diesem mitlaufen.The opening elements 7, 8 can be arranged on the associated receiving compartment 1 and run along with it.

Es ist aber auch denkbar, die Öffnungselemente 7, 8 an seitlich der Aufnahmeabteile 1 angeordneten, mit den Aufnahmeabteilen 1 synchron mitlaufenden Transporteinrichtungen anzuordnen.But it is also conceivable, the opening elements 7, 8 arranged on the side of the receiving compartments 1, to arrange synchronously with the receiving compartments 1 accompanying transport facilities.

Anhand der gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiele ist das Verarbeiten von Druckereiprodukten 11, 12 mit einem Vorfalz (vorstehender Randabschnitt 13, 14) erläutert worden, wobei die Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 jeweils in der Mitte geöffnet werden. Es ist aber auch möglich, auf entsprechende Weise Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 ohne einen solchen Vorfalz 13, 14 zu öffnen. Das Öffnen der Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 kann dabei wie gezeigt mittels Öffnungselementen 7, 8 oder auch auf andere Weise erfolgen, z.B. mittels eines Luftstrahles.On the basis of the exemplary embodiments shown, the processing of printed products 11, 12 with a prefold (projecting edge section 13, 14) has been explained, wherein the printed products 11, 12 are respectively opened in the middle. However, it is also possible to correspondingly open printed products 11, 12 without such a prefold 13, 14. The opening of the printed products 11, 12 can take place, as shown, by means of opening elements 7, 8 or else in other ways, e.g. by means of an air jet.

Die Fördereinrichtung 2 mit den Aufnahmeabteilen 1 kann in der Art eines Rundlaufes ausgebildet sein, wie er beispielsweise in der WO-A- 98/33656 (Fig. 3) beschrieben ist. Daneben ist es auch möglich, die Fördereinrichtung 2 in der Art einer umlaufend angetriebenen Trommel auszubilden, z.B. ähnlich wie in der EP-A- 0 301 244 gezeigt, jedoch ohne die Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 in Richtung der Trommellängsachse zu transportieren.The conveyor 2 with the receiving compartments 1 may be designed in the manner of a concentricity, as described for example in WO-A-98/33656 (FIG. 3). Besides, it is also possible to form the conveyor 2 in the manner of a revolving driven drum, e.g. similar to that shown in EP-A-0 301 244, but without transporting the printed products 11, 12 in the direction of the drum longitudinal axis.

In den Fig. 7a bis 7e, in denen eine vierte Ausführungsform des Erfindungsgegenstandes dargestellt ist, sind taschenförmige Aufnahmeabteile 101 einer Fördereinrichtung 102, deren Förderrichtung mit A bezeichnet ist, gezeigt. Die Aufnahmeabteile 101 sind in Förderrichtung A hintereinander angeordnet und werden in dieser Förderrichtung A auf an sich bekannte, nicht näher dargestellte Weise entlang einer Verarbeitungsstrecke 103 bewegt. Die Fig. 7a bis 7e zeigen die Aufnahmeabteile 101 von der Seite, gesehen in Richtung des Pfeils M in Fig. 8. In dieser Fig. 8 ist in einer Ansicht in Richtung des Pfeils N (Fig. 7b) ein Aufnahmeabteil 101 dargestellt. Jedes Aufnahmeabteil 101 weist zwei sich gegenüberliegende Abteilwände 104, 105 auf, die sich quer zur Förderrichtung A erstrecken. Die Abteilwände 104, 105 sind über einen Boden 106 miteinander verbunden.7a to 7e, in which a fourth embodiment of the subject invention is shown, pocket-shaped receiving compartments 101 of a conveyor 102, whose conveying direction is designated A, are shown. The receiving compartments 101 are arranged in the conveying direction A one behind the other and are in this conveying direction A known per se, not shown way along a processing line 103rd emotional. 7a to 7e show the receiving compartments 101 from the side, as seen in the direction of the arrow M in Fig. 8. In this Fig. 8 in a view in the direction of the arrow N (Fig. 7b), a receiving compartment 101 is shown. Each receiving compartment 101 has two opposing compartment walls 104, 105, which extend transversely to the conveying direction A. The compartment walls 104, 105 are connected to each other via a bottom 106.

Jedem Aufnahmeabteil 1 ist ein erster Klemmfinger 107 zugeordnet, der um eine Drehachse 107a drehbar an einem Hebel 108 angebracht ist (Fig. 8). Zum Verdrehen des ersten Klemmfingers 107 zwischen einer Offenstellung und einer Klemmstellung ist ein nur schematisch dargestellter Schwenkmechanismus 109 vorhanden, zu dem eine mit nicht dargestellten Steuerkurven zusammenwirkende Folgerolle gehört. Der Hebel 108 ist um eine Schwenkachse 108a schwenkbar gelagert. Das Verschwenken des Hebels 108 erfolgt über einen ebenfalls nur schematisch dargestellten Schwenkmechanismus 110, der eine mit Steuerkulissen zusammenwirkende Folgerolle aufweist.Each receiving compartment 1 is associated with a first clamping finger 107, which is rotatably mounted on a lever 108 about an axis of rotation 107a (FIG. 8). For rotating the first clamping finger 107 between an open position and a clamping position, a swivel mechanism 109, shown only schematically, is present, to which a following roller cooperating with control cams, not shown, belongs. The lever 108 is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis 108a. The pivoting of the lever 108 via a pivoting mechanism 110 also shown only schematically, which has a co-operating with control blocks follower roller.

Auf der dem ersten Klemmfinger 107 gegenüberliegenden Seite der Aufnahmeabteile 101 ist ein zweiter Klemmfinger 111 vorgesehen, der um eine Drehachse 111a zwischen einer Offenstellung und einer Klemmstellung verdrehbar ist. Das Verdrehen des zweiten Klemmfingers 111 erfolgt ebenfalls mittels eines Schliessmechanismus 112, der eine mit nicht näher dargestellten Steuerkulissen zusammenwirkende Folgerolle aufweist. Der zweite Klemmfinger 111 ist an einem Trennorgan 113 angebracht, das seitlich der Aufnahmeabteile 101 angeordnet ist. Für eine bessere Übersicht ist in der Fig. 7a das Trennorgan 113 weggelassen. Das Trennorgan 113 ist um eine erste Schwenkachse 113a nach der Seite hin zwischen einer eingefahrenen und einer ausgefahrenen Stellung verschwenkbar. In der Fig. 8 ist die diesbezügliche Schwenkrichtung mit dem Pfeil O bezeichnet. Die ausgefahrene Stellung des Trennorgans 113 ist in der Fig. 8 strichpunktiert dargestellt. Zudem ist das Trennorgan 113 um eine zweite Schwenkachse 113b, die zur ersten Schwenkachse 113a senkrecht verläuft, von der einen Abteilwand 104 in Richtung zur andern Abteilwand 105 und zurück verschwenkbar, wie das anhand der Fig. 7a bis 7d noch erläutert werden wird. Zum Verschwenken des Trennorgans 113 in den erwähnten beiden Richtungen ist ein nur rein schematisch dargestellter Schwenkmechanismus 114 vorgesehen, der mit Steuerkulissen zusammenwirkende Folgerollen aufweist.On the first clamping finger 107 opposite side of the receiving compartments 101, a second clamping finger 111 is provided, which is rotatable about an axis of rotation 111a between an open position and a clamping position. The rotation of the second clamping finger 111 also takes place by means of a closing mechanism 112, which has a following roller cooperating with control not shown in detail. The second clamping finger 111 is attached to a separating member 113, which is arranged laterally of the receiving compartments 101. For a better overview in Fig. 7a, the separating member 113th omitted. The separating member 113 is pivotable about a first pivot axis 113a to the side between a retracted and an extended position. In Fig. 8, the relevant pivoting direction is indicated by the arrow O. The extended position of the separating member 113 is shown in phantom in FIG. In addition, the separating member 113 about a second pivot axis 113b, which is perpendicular to the first pivot axis 113a, from the one partition wall 104 toward the other compartment wall 105 and pivotally back, as will be explained with reference to FIGS. 7a to 7d. For pivoting the separating member 113 in the aforementioned two directions, a purely schematically illustrated pivot mechanism 114 is provided, which has cooperating with control blocks follower rollers.

Jedes Aufnahmeabteil 101 weist benachbart zum Abteilboden 106 und auf der Seite des Trennorgans 113 eine schematisch dargestellte Saugeranordnung auf, die durch zwei Saugorgane 115, 116 gebildet wird. Wie in der Fig. 8 gezeigt, ist jedes Saugorgan 115, 116 an einem Schwenkarm 117 befestigt, der um eine etwa rechtwinklig zum Abteilboden 106 verlaufende Schwenkachse 117a verschwenkbar ist. Die Schwenkrichtung des Schwenkarmes 117 und damit der Saugorgane 115, 116 ist in der Fig. 8 mit dem Pfeil P angegeben.Each receiving compartment 101 has, adjacent to the compartment floor 106 and on the side of the separating member 113, a schematically illustrated suction arrangement, which is formed by two suction members 115, 116. As shown in Fig. 8, each suction member 115, 116 is fixed to a pivot arm 117 which is pivotable about an approximately perpendicular to the compartment bottom 106 extending pivot axis 117a.

In den Aufnahmeabteilen 101 sind zwei gefaltete Druckereiprodukte 118 und 119 angeordnet, die mit einer ihrer Seitenflächen aneinander anliegen. Jedes Druckereiprodukt 118, 119 besteht aus zwei Produktehälften 118a, 118b, bzw. 119a, 119b. Die beiden Produktehälften 118a, 118b und 119a, 119b sind über eine Falzkante 118c bzw. 119c miteinander verbunden. Die Produktehälfte 118a bzw. 119a weist einen vorstehenden Randabschnitt 120, 121 auf, der auch als Vorfalz bezeichnet wird. Dieser vorstehende Randabschnitt 120, 121 ragt über die andere Produktehälfte 118b, 119b vor. Wie die Fig. 7a zeigt, liegt die Aussenseite des kürzeren Produkteteils 118b des Druckereiproduktes 118 an der Aussenseite des längeren Produkteteils 119a des anderen Druckereiproduktes 119 an. Die beiden Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 werden gemeinsam entlang der Förderstrecke 103 bewegt, wie das die Fig. 7a bis 7e zeigen. Die beiden Druckereiprodukte 118, 119 sind Teil eines mehrteiligen Druckereierzeugnisses.In the receiving compartments 101, two folded printed products 118 and 119 are arranged, which bear against one another with one of their side surfaces. Each printed product 118, 119 consists of two product halves 118a, 118b, and 119a, 119b. The two halves of the product 118a, 118b and 119a, 119b are connected to each other via a folded edge 118c and 119c. The product half 118a or 119a has a protruding edge portion 120, 121, which is also referred to as Vorfalz. This projecting edge portion 120, 121 projects beyond the other product half 118b, 119b. As shown in FIG. 7 a, the outside of the shorter product part 118 b of the printed product 118 bears against the outside of the longer product part 119 a of the other printed product 119. The two printed products 11, 12 are moved together along the conveying path 103, as shown in FIGS. 7a to 7e. The two printed products 118, 119 are part of a multipart printed product.

Im Folgenden wird anhand der Fig. 7a bis 7e der Ablauf eines Einsteckvorganges erläutert. Dabei sind in den Fig. 7a bis 7e zeitlich aufeinanderfolgende Verfahrensschritte gezeigt.The sequence of a plug-in operation will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 7a to 7e. 7a to 7e temporally successive process steps are shown in FIGS.

Zuerst werden mittels einer nicht näher dargestellten Zuführeinrichtung zwei Druckereiprodukte 118, 119 so in ein Aufnahmeabteil 101 eingeführt, dass diese mit ihrer Falzkante 118c, 119c am Abteilboden 106 aufliegen. Das eine Druckereiprodukt 118 liegt mit der Produktehälfte 118a an der Abteilwand 104 an, während das andere Druckereiprodukt 119 mit der Produktehälfte 119a an der Produktehälfte 118b des anderen Druckereiproduktes 118 anliegt. Die beiden Druckereiprodukte 118, 119 können gemeinsam oder nacheinander in das Aufnahmeabteil 101 eingeführt werden. Während des Einführens der Druckereiprodukte 118, 119 in ein Aufnahmeabteil 101 sind die beiden Klemmfinger 107, 111 geöffnet, wie das aus der Fig. 7a hervorgeht, in der jedoch der zweite Klemmfinger 111 nicht gezeigt ist. Das Trennorgan 113 befindet sich während des Einführens der Druckereiprodukte 118, 119 in der ausgeschwenkten Stellung (in Fig. 8 strichpunktiert dargestellt).First, two printed products 118, 119 are introduced into a receiving compartment 101 by means of a feeding device, not shown, that they rest with their folded edge 118c, 119c on the compartment floor 106. One printed product 118 rests against the compartment wall 104 with the product half 118a, while the other printed product 119 with the product half 119a rests against the product half 118b of the other printed product 118. The two printed products 118, 119 can be introduced into the receiving compartment 101 together or in succession. During the insertion of the printed products 118, 119 into a receiving compartment 101, the two clamping fingers 107, 111 are opened, as can be seen from FIG. 7a, but in which the second clamping finger 111 is not shown. The separating member 113 is located during the insertion of the printed products 118, 119 in the swung-out position (shown in phantom in FIG. 8).

Nun wird der Klemmfinger 107 geschlossen, wobei er den vorstehenden Randabschnitt 120 des Druckereiproduktes 118 erfasst. Die beiden Saugorgane 115, 116 werden, wie in Fig. 7a gezeigt, zur Anlage an die Druckereiprodukte 118, 119 gebracht. Dann werden die Saugorgane 115, 116 mit einer nicht gezeigten Unterdruckquelle verbunden und voneinander wegbewegt. Wie die Fig. 7b zeigt, wird dabei das Saugorgan 116, das das Druckereiprodukt 119 festhält, vom andern Saugorgan 115 weg bewegt. Dadurch wird das Druckereiprodukt 119 im Bereich seiner Falzkante 119c vom Druckereiprodukt 118 abgehoben. Nun wird das Trennorgan 113 in das Aufnahmeabteil 104 eingeschwenkt und fährt in die zwischen den Druckereiprodukten 118, 119 gebildete Öffnung 122 ein. Das Trennorgan 113 liegt nun zwischen den Druckereiprodukten 118, 119 und trennt diese (Fig. 7b). Jetzt erfolgt das Schliessen des zweiten Klemmfingers 111, welcher den vorstehenden Randabschnitt 121 des anderen Druckereiproduktes 119 erfasst.Now, the clamping finger 107 is closed, wherein it detects the protruding edge portion 120 of the printed product 118. The two suction members 115, 116, as shown in Fig. 7a, brought to bear against the printed products 118, 119. Then, the suction members 115, 116 are connected to a negative pressure source, not shown, and moved away from each other. As shown in Fig. 7b, while the suction member 116, which holds the printed product 119, moved away from the other suction member 115. As a result, the printed product 119 is lifted off the printed product 118 in the region of its folded edge 119c. Now, the separating member 113 is pivoted into the receiving compartment 104 and moves into the formed between the printed products 118, 119 opening 122 a. The separating element 113 now lies between the printed products 118, 119 and separates them (FIG. 7b). Now, the closing of the second clamping finger 111, which detects the protruding edge portion 121 of the other printed product 119, takes place.

Nun werden das Trennorgan 113 und der Hebel 108 mit dem ersten Klemmfinger 107 um die Achsen 113b bzw. 108a in Richtung zur andern Abteilwand 105 hin verschwenkt. Während dieser Schwenkbewegung werden die Produktehälften 118a bzw. 119a durch die Klemmfinger 107 bzw. 111 festgehalten. Jetzt wird das erste Druckereiprodukt 118 durch Zurückschwenken des Hebels 108 geöffnet. In das geöffnete erste Druckereiprodukt 118 wird nun, wie in Fig. 7c gezeigt, mittels nicht dargestellter Zuführmittel eine Einlage 123 in Richtung des Pfeils K eingeführt. Es können auch mehrere Einlagen 123 gleichzeitig oder nacheinander in das geöffnete Druckereiprodukt 118 eingesteckt werden.Now, the separating member 113 and the lever 108 are pivoted with the first clamping finger 107 about the axes 113b and 108a toward the other compartment wall 105 out. During this pivoting movement, the product halves 118a and 119a are held by the clamping fingers 107 and 111, respectively. Now, the first printed product 118 is opened by swinging back the lever 108. In the opened first printed product 118 is now, as shown in Fig. 7c, by means not shown supply means a Inserted insert 123 in the direction of arrow K. It is also possible to insert several inserts 123 into the opened printed product 118 at the same time or one after the other.

Im nächsten Schritt wird das Trennorgan 113 um die Schwenkachse 113b gegen die hintere Abteilwand 104 zurückgeschwenkt. Dabei wird das erste Druckereiprodukt 118 geschlossen und die vom zweiten Klemmfinger 111 festgehaltene Produktehälfte 119a des andern Druckereiproduktes 119 von dessen anderen Produktehälfte 119b abgehoben, wie das die Fig. 7d zeigt. In das so geöffnete zweite Druckereiprodukt 119 wird nun in Richtung des Pfeils L eine Einlage 124 eingeführt, die durch nicht gezeigte Zuführmittel zugeführt wird (Fig. 7d). Es versteht sich, dass gleichzeitig oder nacheinander auch mehrere Einlagen 124 in das geöffnete Druckereiprodukt 119 eingesteckt werden können.In the next step, the separating member 113 is pivoted back about the pivot axis 113b against the rear compartment wall 104. In the process, the first printed product 118 is closed and the product half 119a of the other printed product 119 held by the second clamping finger 111 is lifted off its other product half 119b, as shown in FIG. 7d. In the second printed product 119 thus opened, an insert 124 is now introduced in the direction of the arrow L, which insert is fed by feeding means (not shown) (FIG. 7d). It is understood that several deposits 124 can be inserted into the opened printed product 119 at the same time or in succession.

Bei den Einlagen 123, 124, die Teile des fertigen Druckereierzeugnisses sind, kann es sich um Vorprodukte und/oder Beilagen handeln.The inserts 123, 124, which are parts of the finished printed product, may be precursors and / or supplements.

Der zweite Klemmfinger 111 wird nun in seine Offenstellung verschwenkt und gibt die Produktehälfte 119a des zweiten Druckereiproduktes 119 frei. Das Trennorgan 113 wird aus dem Aufnahmeabteil 101 heraus in die in Fig. 8 strichpunktiert dargestellte, ausgefahrene Stellung herausgeschwenkt. Anschliessend wird der Hebel 108, an dem der erste Klemmfinger 107 angebracht ist, um die Schwenkachse 108a nach vorwärts, d.h. in Förderrichtung A, zur Abteilwand 105 hin verschwenkt. Dabei wird das zweite Druckereiprodukt 119 geschlossen und die beiden Druckereiprodukte 118, 119 samt Einlagen 125, 126 an die vordere Abteilwand 105 angelegt, wie das in Fig. 7e dargestellt ist. Der erste Klemmfinger 111 wird unter Freigabe der Produktehälfte 118a des Druckereiproduktes 118 in seine Offenstellung verschwenkt. Der Hebel 108 wird dann zur hinteren Abteilwand 104 zurückverschwenkt.The second clamping finger 111 is now pivoted into its open position and releases the product half 119a of the second printed product 119. The separating member 113 is pivoted out of the receiving compartment 101 out in the extended position shown in phantom in Fig. 8. Subsequently, the lever 108 on which the first clamping finger 107 is mounted, about the pivot axis 108a to the front, ie in the conveying direction A, the compartment wall 105 pivots out. In this case, the second printed product 119 is closed and the two printed products 118, 119 together with deposits 125, 126 to the front compartment wall 105 is applied, as shown in Fig. 7e. The first clamping finger 111 is pivoted, releasing the product half 118a of the printed product 118 in its open position. The lever 108 is then pivoted back to the rear compartment wall 104.

Die beiden Druckereierzeugnisse 125, 126, die je aus einem Druckereiprodukt 118, 119 und einer oder mehreren Einlagen 123, 124 bestehen, liegen aneinander im Aufnahmeabteil 101 (Fig. 7e) und können gemeinsam mittels einer nicht gezeigten Fördereinrichtung dem Aufnahmeabteil 101 entnommen werden.The two printed products 125, 126, each consisting of a printed product 118, 119 and one or more inserts 123, 124, lie against one another in the receiving compartment 101 (FIG. 7e) and can be removed together from the receiving compartment 101 by means of a conveying device (not shown).

Die Druckereiprodukte 11, 12 und 118, 119 sind bedruckt und können aus einem gefaltetem Bogen oder mehreren gefalteten Bögen bestehen. Bestehen die Druckereiprodukte 11, 12; 118, 119 aus mehreren gefalteten Bögen, so können diese entlang der Falzkante 11c, 12c; 118c, 119c miteinander verbunden sein, z.B. mittels Heftklammern.The printed products 11, 12 and 118, 119 are printed and may consist of a folded sheet or folded sheets. Are the printed products 11, 12; 118, 119 of a plurality of folded sheets, so they can along the folded edge 11 c, 12 c; 118c, 119c, e.g. by means of staples.

Die Einlagen 15, 16 und 123, 124 sind vorzugsweise bedruckte Vorprodukte oder Beilagen irgendwelcher Art. Die Vorprodukte sind ein- oder mehrblättrig und können ebenfalls gefaltet sein. Bei mehrblättrigen Vorprodukten können die einzelnen Blätter miteinander verbunden sein. Als Beilagen kommen beispielsweise bedruckte Produkte aber auch Warenmuster in Frage.The inserts 15, 16 and 123, 124 are preferably printed precursors or supplements of any kind. The precursors are mono- or mehrblättrig and can also be folded. In the case of multi-leaf precursors, the individual leaves can be connected to one another. As inserts, for example, printed products but also samples of goods come into question.
