Abstract

The stopper has a stop surface continuing from a center line of a sheet-shaped print substrate to an extreme side edge line. Guiding units are arranged on the front edge stopper along the width of the stopper and between transporting units, which moves the substrate to the stopper. The units have a deflector (20) with an intake chamfer (21) handing in a transportation plane and raise the front edge of the substrate from the plane.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Vorderkantenanschlag für blattförmige Bedruckstoffe, insbesondere in einem Schwertfalzwerk, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a front edge stop for sheet-like printing substrates, in particular in a knife folding device, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Um eine möglichst präzise Falzung einer durch eine Transporteinrichtung an ein Schwertfalzwerk herantransportierten Signatur zu ermöglichen, sind typischerweise ein Vorderkantenanschlag und Seitenkantenanschläge vorgesehen, so dass die Signatur während des Verzögerungs- oder Bremsvorgangs eine Führung erfährt und ausgerichtet entlang der durch die Geometrie des Falzschwertes vorgegebenen Koordinaten wird. Bekannte Ausführungen von Schwertfalzwerken weisen typischerweise motorisch verstellbare Anschlagträger mit fest fixierten Anschlagfingern, häufig vorgesehen für ein minimales Format der zu verarbeitenden Signaturen, auf, um zwischen die Transporteinrichtung in den Transportweg der Signatur zu gelangen. Schwertfalzwerke in Falzmaschinen werden insbesondere zur Erzeugung von Kreuzbrüchen verwendet, beispielsweise in so genannten Kombifalzmaschinen, welche sowohl wenigstens ein Taschen- als auch ein Schwertfalzwerk aufweisen.In order to enable the most accurate possible folding of a transported by a transport device to a sword folder signature, typically a leading edge stop and side edge stops are provided so that the signature undergoes guidance during the deceleration or braking operation and aligned along the predetermined by the geometry of the folding blade coordinates , Known designs of Schwertfalzwerken typically have motor-adjustable stop carrier with fixed fixed stop fingers, often provided for a minimum format of the signatures to be processed, in order to get between the transport device in the transport path of the signature. Schwertfalzwerke in folding machines are used in particular for the production of cross fractures, for example in so-called combination folding machines, which have both at least one pocket and a Schwertfalzwerk.

Beispielsweise ist in der US 5,158,524 ein derartiger Vorderkantenanschlag an einem Schwertfalzwerk offenbart. In diesem Dokument ist ein Schwertfalzwerk mit einem Vorderkantenanschlag zur Abbremsung der Bewegung eines mit einer Transporteinrichtung über den Falzspalt beförderten Bogens und mit Anschlägen zur Vermeidung einer Vertikalbewegung der Seitenkanten des Bogens während des Falzvorgangs dargestellt. Die Anschläge zur Vermeidung einer Vertikalbewegung sind am Vorderkantenanschlag aufgenommen und können gemeinsam bewegt werden, beispielsweise um sie vom Falzspalt im Fall einer Fehloperation zur schnellen Behebung des Problems abzuziehen.For example, in the US 5,158,524 discloses such a leading edge stop on a knife folder. This document discloses a blade folder having a leading edge stop for decelerating the movement of a sheet conveyed across the seaming nip with a conveyor and stops for preventing vertical movement of the side edges of the sheet during the folding operation. The vertical motion stops are received at the leading edge stop and can be moved together, for example to remove them from the folding nip in the event of a mis-operation to quickly resolve the problem.

Insbesondere bei großen Formaten der zu falzenden Signaturen und dünnem Bedruckstoff kann es bei fest vorgesehenen und beabstandeten Anschlagfingern eines Vorderkantenanschlags zu Markierungsbildung kommen. Zudem wird keine sichere Anschlagkante für die Vorderkante der Signatur gebildet, sodass bei einer heftigen Abbremsung der Signatur diese schräg über dem Falzspalt zu liegen kommen kann. Durch diese Verdrehung der Signatur können Falzungenauigkeiten entstehen.Particularly in the case of large formats of the signatures to be folded and of the thin printing substrate, marking formation can occur in the case of firmly provided and spaced stop fingers of a leading edge stop. In addition, no secure stop edge is formed for the leading edge of the signature, so that at a sharp deceleration of the signature this can come to lie obliquely above the folding gap. By this twisting of the signature can cause folding inaccuracies.

Um eine oben angesprochene Markierungsbildung zu vermeiden und um eine sichere Arbeitsweise bei allen Formaten zu gewährleisten, werden häufig bei gängigen Falzmaschinen nach dem Einstellen der Seitenanschläge zusätzliche Anschlagfinger manuell, dem Format der zu falzenden Signatur entsprechend, eingebaut. Diese zusätzlichen Anschlagfinger müssen wieder ausgebaut werden, sobald die Seitenanschläge bewegt werden sollen. Eine automatische Einstellung, insbesondere zur Berücksichtigung des Formates der Signatur, ist auf diesem Wege nicht möglich.In order to avoid the above-mentioned marking formation and to ensure safe operation in all formats, additional stop fingers are often manually in the folding machines after adjusting the side stops, the format of the signature to be folded, installed. These additional stop fingers must be removed again as soon as the side stops are to be moved. An automatic adjustment, in particular to take account of the format of the signature, is not possible in this way.

Aus der europäischen Patentanmeldung EP 1 251 095 A2 ist ein Schwertfalzwerk mit einer zugeordneten Transporteinrichtung bekannt, durch welche eine Signatur vor dem Falzvorgang in einer Transportebene an eine Anschlagträgereinheit befördert wird, wobei die Anschlagträgereinheit relativ zum Falzschwert im Wesentlichen parallel zur Transportebene bewegbar ist und wenigstens einen sich zumindest von der Positionslinie des Falzschwertes bis zu einer extremen Seitenkantenlinie durchgehend erstreckenden Vorderkantenanschlag aufweist, welcher im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Transportebene bewegbar ist. Entsprechend den Material- und Produktionsparametern kann eine vollautomatische Einstellung des Schwertfalzwerkes erfolgen.From the European patent application EP 1 251 095 A2 a Schwertfalzwerk with an associated transport device is known, through which a signature is conveyed before the folding in a transport plane to a stop carrier unit, the stop carrier unit is movable relative to the folding blade substantially parallel to the transport plane and at least one at least from the position line of the folding blade up to having an extreme side edge line continuously extending leading edge stop, which is movable substantially perpendicular to the transport plane. Depending on the material and production parameters, a fully automatic adjustment of the blade folder can be carried out.

Aber auch hier ist es problematisch, besonders dünne Papiere sicher an den Anschlag heranzuführen. Es besteht auch die Gefahr, dass Falzbogen den Anschlag unterlaufen können. Zudem kann es nachteilig sein, wenn der Falzbogen nur an mehreren einzelnen Stellen am Vorderkantenanschlag anschlägt, wie dies bei Anschlagsfingern der Fall ist. Gerade bei dünnen Papieren kommt es dabei häufig zu Deformationen des Falzbogens, wenn nicht geringere Maschinengeschwindigkeiten in Kauf genommen werden. Es wäre daher wünschenswert, wenn der Vorderanschlag eines Schwertfalzwerks diesbezüglich verbessert wäre.But even here it is problematic to bring very thin papers safely to the stop. There is also the danger that signatures can undermine the attack. In addition, it may be disadvantageous if the folded sheet strikes only at several individual points on the leading edge stop, as is the case with stop fingers. Especially with thin papers it often comes to deformations of the signatures, if not lower machine speeds are accepted. It would therefore be desirable if the front stop of a blade folder would be improved in this regard.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Schwertfalzwerk mit einem Vorderkantenanschlag zu schaffen, mit dem auch schwierige, etwa sehr dünne blattförmige Bedruckstoffe sicher handhabbar sind.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a blade folder with a leading edge stop, with the difficult, such as very thin sheet-like substrates are safe to handle.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Vorderkantenanschlag für ein Schwertfalzwerk mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen und Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Vorderkantenanschlags ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved by a front edge stop for a sword folder with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the front edge stop according to the invention emerge from the subclaims.

Dementsprechend handelt es sich bei der vorliegenden Erfindung um einen Vorderkantenanschlag für blattförmige Bedruckstoffe, insbesondere in einem Schwertfalzwerk, wobei der Vorderkantenanschlag wenigstens eine sich zumindest von der Positionslinie des Falzschwertes bis zu einer extremen Seitenkantenlinie durchgehende Anschlagfläche an einem Vorderkantenanschlagträger aufweist, wobei an dem Vorderkantenanschlag Leitmittel angeordnet sind, die geeignet zum Anheben der Vorderkante eines in einer Transportebene bewegten blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs ausgestaltet sind. Durch diese Leitmittel wird die Vorderkante des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs, insbesondere eines Falzbogens nun sicher entlang seiner ganzen Länge an den Vorderkantenanschlag angeschlagen. Dadurch werden die genannten Deformationen auch bei einer höheren Maschinengeschwindigkeit vermieden.Accordingly, in the present invention is a leading edge stop for sheet-like substrates, in particular in a sword folder, wherein the leading edge stop has at least one at least from the position line of the folding blade to an extreme side edge line continuous stop surface on a leading edge stop carrier, wherein arranged on the leading edge stop guide are that are adapted to lift the leading edge of a moving in a transport plane sheet-shaped substrate. By this Leitmittel the leading edge of the sheet-shaped substrate, in particular a folded sheet is now struck securely along its entire length to the leading edge stop. As a result, the said deformations are avoided even at a higher machine speed.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Vorderkantenanschlags sind mehrere Leitmittel entlang der Breite des Vorderkantenanschlags angeordnet, insbesondere zwischen den Transportmitteln, die den blattförmigen Bedruckstoff zum Vorderkantenanschlag bewegen. Bei den genannten Transportmitteln handelt es sich typischerweise um Transportbänder. Dadurch, dass die blattförmigen Bedruckstoffe, insbesondere Falzbogen über ihre ganze Vorderkante am erfindungsgemäßen Vorderkantenanschlag anschlagen, ist auch keine weitere formatabhängige Veränderung des Vorderkantenanschlags erforderlich, wie dies bei einzelnen Anschlagfingern der Fall wäre. Dadurch ist in der Summe die erforderliche Einrichtezeit bei Formatwechsel erheblich verkürzt.In an advantageous embodiment of the front edge stop according to the invention a plurality of guide means along the width of the leading edge stop are arranged, in particular between the transport means which move the sheet-shaped printing material to the leading edge stop. The means of transport mentioned are typically conveyor belts. Due to the fact that the sheet-shaped substrates, in particular folded sheets strike over their entire leading edge on the front edge stop according to the invention, no further format-dependent change of the leading edge stop is required, as would be the case with individual stop fingers. As a result, the total set-up time required for format changes is considerably reduced.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Vorderkantenanschlags umfassen die Leitmittel Abweiser, die eine in die Transportebene einreichende Einlaufschräge aufweisen. Mit der Einlaufschräge wird die Vorderkante des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs auf beschädigungsarme Art und Weise aus der Transportebene gebracht. Vorteilhafterweise endet die Einlaufschräge in einem Abstand von 12 bis 22 mm von der Vorderkantenanschlagsfläche. Dadurch hat der vordere Bereich des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs auf dem Abweiser wieder eine im Wesentlichen rechtwinklige Lage hinsichtlich der Vorderkantenanschlagsfläche. Dadurch kann vermieden werden, dass die Vorderkante des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs an dem Vorderkantenanschlag auf Grund einer Schieflage zur Horizontalen abrutschen könnte. Dadurch wird also die Anschlagsgenauigkeit des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs verbessert. Außerdem ist vorteilhafterweise die Oberseite des Abweisers im Bereich zwischen dem Ende der Einlaufschräge und der Vorderkantenanschlagsseite abgerundet, wodurch Beschädigungen vermieden werden können, da die Vorderkante des einlaufenden blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs so nicht einer Kante begegnet, an der sie sich verhaken könnte. Außerdem ist so die Auflagefläche minimiert. Zudem muss berücksichtigt werden, dass beim Schwertfalz zumindest die Außenkanten des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs ihre Bewegungsrichtung zunächst um 90° ändern, wenn die Mitte des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs zwischen den Falzwalzen verschwindet. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt stellt die abgerundete Oberseite des Abweisers ebenfalls nur einen geringen Reibungswiderstand dar, so dass Beschädigungen am blattförmigen Bedruckstoff vermieden werden können.In a further advantageous embodiment of the front edge stop according to the invention, the guide means comprise deflectors which have an inlet bevel which enters the transport plane. With the inlet slope, the leading edge of the sheet-like substrate is brought out of the transport plane in a low-damage manner. Advantageously, the inlet slope ends at a distance of 12 to 22 mm from the leading edge stop surface. As a result, the front region of the sheet-shaped printing material on the deflector again has a substantially rectangular position with respect to the leading edge stop surface. This can avoid that the leading edge of the sheet-shaped printing material could slip on the leading edge stop due to an inclination to the horizontal. As a result, the impact accuracy of the sheet-shaped printing material is thus improved. In addition, advantageously, the top of the deflector is rounded in the region between the end of the inlet slope and the leading edge stop side, whereby damage can be avoided because the leading edge of the incoming sheet-shaped substrate so not encountered an edge where they could get caught. In addition, the support surface is minimized. In addition, it must be taken into account that at least the outer edges of the sheet-shaped printing material initially change their direction of movement by 90 ° when the blade fold disappears when the center of the sheet-shaped printing material disappears between the folding rollers. At this time, the rounded top of the deflector is also only a low frictional resistance, so that damage to the sheet-shaped substrate can be avoided.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Vorderkantenanschlags weisen die Leitmittel ein Blatt auf, das sich unterhalb der Transportebene der blattförmigen Bedruckstoffe in Transportrichtung erstreckt, wobei das Blatt eine im Wesentlichen horizontale Oberkante aufweist. Bei dem Blatt handelt es sich beispielsweise um ein schmales Blech mit im Wesentlichen rechteckigem Querschnitt, vorteilhafterweise ebenfalls mit einer Einlaufschräge versehen. Dadurch wird ein blattförmiger Bedruckstoff durch die Oberkante des Blatts auch zwischen den Transportbändern unterstützt, so dass für einen sicheren Transport des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs gesorgt ist. Die Oberkante des Blattes stimmt dabei entweder mit der Transportebene überein oder liegt etwas darunter.In a further advantageous embodiment of the leading edge stop according to the invention, the guide means have a blade which extends below the transport plane of the sheet-like substrates in the transport direction, wherein the sheet has a substantially horizontal upper edge. The sheet is, for example, a narrow sheet metal with a substantially rectangular cross section, advantageously also provided with an inlet slope. As a result, a sheet-shaped substrate is also supported by the upper edge of the sheet between the conveyor belts, so that a secure transport of the sheet-like printing material is ensured. The upper edge of the sheet either coincides with the transport plane or is slightly below it.

In Weiterbildung dieser vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Vorderkantenanschlags weisen die Leitmittel Abweiser auf, die eine in die Transportebene einreichende Einlaufschräge aufweisen, wobei sich die Einlaufschräge der Abweiser bis unter die Oberkante des Blatts erstreckt. Dadurch wird auf jeden Fall garantiert, dass der blattförmige Bedruckstoff auf den Abweiser rutscht und damit sicher dem Vorderkantenanschlag zugeführt wird.In a further development of this advantageous embodiment of the front edge stop according to the invention, the guide means have deflectors which have an inlet bevel which enters the transport plane, the inlet slope of the deflectors extending below the upper edge of the blade. This guarantees in any case that the sheet-like substrate will slip onto the deflector and thus be safely fed to the leading edge stop.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Vorderkantenanschlags ist der Vorderkantenanschlag vertikal bewegbar ausgestaltet, insbesondere automatisch bewegbar. Durch einen geeigneten Antrieb kann dadurch der Anschlag und alle damit verbundenen Teile auf einfache Weise aus der Transportebene bewegt werden, so dass der Transportpfad freigegeben wird.In a further advantageous embodiment of the front edge stop according to the invention, the leading edge stop is designed to be vertically movable, in particular automatically movable. By a suitable drive, the stop and all parts connected thereto can be moved in a simple manner from the transport plane, so that the transport path is released.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Vorderkantenanschlags sind die Leitmittel formschlüssig an dem Vorderkantenanschlag angeordnet. Dies garantiert einerseits eine sichere Verbindung mit dem Vorderkantenanschlag, andererseits können beispielsweise bei Wartungsarbeiten die Leitmittel einfach ausgetauscht werden oder der Anschlag aus der Transportebene bewegt werden, wenn das Schwertfalzwerk nicht Verwendung finden soll.In a further advantageous embodiment of the leading edge stop according to the invention, the guide means are arranged in a form-fitting manner on the leading edge stop. This guarantees on the one hand a secure connection with the leading edge stop, on the other hand, for example, during maintenance, the Leitmittel can be easily replaced or the stop to be moved from the transport plane, if the sword folder should not find use.

On a front edge stop carrier 10, which is a Leading edge abutment surface 12 has a guide means 20, 25 arranged in a form-fitting, but not fixed. The guide means 20, 25 is primarily formed of a deflector 20 and a sheet 25. The deflector 20 has a groove into which the leading edge stop carrier 10 engages.

In addition, Schwertfalzwerke also have other equipment-fixed conveyor belts, which are arranged in the vicinity of the folding blade. Depending on the dimensions of the sheet-shaped printing substrate 1, the insertion of the central conductive means 20, 25 can be omitted partially or completely. Said guide rail, the carrier 30 and the said conveyor belts are advantageously located with their upper edge all in the transport plane. 5

Der Abweiser 20 weist eine Einlaufschräge 21 auf. Dabei ist die Einlaufschräge 21 relativ zu einer Transportebene 5 eines in der mit dem Bezugszeichen T gekennzeichneten Transportrichtung einlaufenden blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs 1, insbesondere eines Falzbogen 5, derart angeordnet, dass die Einlaufschräge 21 in Transportrichtung T unterhalb der Transportebene 5 beginnt und um eine Höhendifferenz H versetzt oberhalb der Transportebene 5 endet. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Höhendifferenz H, also der Abstand zwischen Abweiseroberseite 22 und Transportebene 5 von der Größenordnung von 1 bis 2 mm. Dabei ist unter dem Begriff Transportebene 5 die Unterseite des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs 1, insbesondere des Falzbogens 1 zu verstehen.The deflector 20 has an inlet slope 21. In this case, the inlet bevel 21 is arranged relative to a transport plane 5 of a sheet feed material 1, in particular a folded sheet 5, in the direction indicated by the reference character T, such that the inlet bevel 21 begins in the transport direction T below the transport plane 5 and displaces by a height difference H. ends above the transport level 5. In the illustrated embodiment, the height difference H, ie the distance between Abweiseroberseite 22 and transport plane 5 of the order of 1 to 2 mm. In this case, the term transport plane 5 is to be understood as the underside of the sheet-shaped printing material 1, in particular of the folded sheet 1.

Durch diese Einlaufschräge 21 wird also die Vorderkante 3 des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs 1 über die Transportebene 5 gehoben. Die Einlaufschräge 21 endet in einer Distanz D vor der Vorderkantenanschlagsfläche 12, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel von der Größenordnung von 10 bis 22 mm. Dadurch trifft die Vorderkante 3 des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs 1 im rechten Winkel und in ganzer Breite auf die Vorderkantenanschlagsfläche 12 auf. Dadurch wird der blattförmige Bedruckstoff 1 auf sehr effektive und schonende Weise zum Stillstand gebracht. Dieses Anhalten wird noch durch nicht gezeigte Hinterkantenanschlagsmittel unterstützt.By this inlet bevel 21 so the leading edge 3 of the sheet-shaped substrate 1 is lifted above the transport plane 5. The inlet slope 21 terminates at a distance D in front of the leading edge stop surface 12, in the illustrated embodiment of the order of 10 to 22 mm. As a result, the front edge 3 of the sheet-shaped printing substrate 1 strikes the front edge stop surface 12 at right angles and in its entire width. As a result, the sheet-shaped substrate 1 on very effective and gentle way brought to a standstill. This stopping is still supported by not shown Hinterkantenanschlagmittel.

Wie in Fig. 1 zu sehen ist, ist die Abweiseroberseite 22 der mittleren Leitmittel 20, 25 quer zur Transportrichtung T abgerundet. Dadurch ist die Auflagefläche des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs 1 auf dem Abweiser 20 geringer, wodurch Markierungen des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs 1 vermieden werden. Außerdem sind so keine möglicherweise vorstehenden Kanten im Weg.As in Fig. 1 can be seen, the Abweiseroberseite 22 of the central guide means 20, 25 is rounded transversely to the transport direction T. As a result, the support surface of the sheet-shaped printing material 1 on the deflector 20 is lower, whereby markings of the sheet-shaped printing material 1 are avoided. Also, there are no potentially protruding edges in the way.

Unterhalb der mittleren Abweiser 20 ist jeweils ein Blatt 25 angeordnet, ein im Wesentlichen rechteckiges Blech, das abgerundete Ecken aufweist und ebenfalls eine Einlaufschräge 26 aufweist, die deutlich unterhalb der Transportebene 5 beginnt. Die Oberkante 27 des Blatts 25 stimmt mit der Transportebene 5 überein oder liegt geringfügig darunter. Dadurch dient das Blatt 25 als Unterstützung des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs 1, zwischen den nicht gezeigten, dem Fachmann bekannten Transportbändern, die den blattförmigen Bedruckstoff 1 zum Vorderkantenanschlag 100 transportieren. Der Übergang von dem Blatt 25 zu dem Abweiser 20 ist nun derart, dass die Einlaufschräge 21 des Abweisers beidseitig des Blattes 25 unter die Oberkante 27 des Blattes ragen. Dabei vereinen sich die beiden Teile der Einlaufschräge 21, die beidseits des Blattes 25 angeordnet sind, zu einer gemeinsamen Abweiseroberfläche über dem Blatt 25. In den einigen Bereichen des Vorderkantenanschlags 100 sind beidseitig etwas anders ausgestaltete Abweiser 20 angeordnet, die nicht ein Blatt 25 umgreifen, sondern vielmehr beidseitig eines Trägers 30 angeordnet sind. Auch diese Abweiser 20 weisen eine entsprechende Einlaufschräge 21 und eine Nut 23 auf. In den Trägem sind beispielsweise Transportbänder gelagert bzw. das genannte Leitgitter befestigt.Below the central deflector 20 is in each case a sheet 25 is arranged, a substantially rectangular plate having rounded corners and also has an inlet slope 26 which begins significantly below the transport plane 5. The upper edge 27 of the sheet 25 coincides with the transport plane 5 or is slightly below. As a result, the sheet 25 serves as support of the sheet-like printing material 1, between the transport belts, not shown, known in the art, which transport the sheet-shaped substrate 1 to the front edge stop 100. The transition from the sheet 25 to the deflector 20 is now such that the inlet slope 21 of the deflector on both sides of the sheet 25 protrude below the upper edge 27 of the sheet. Here, the two parts of the inlet slope 21, which are arranged on both sides of the sheet 25, to a common Abweiseroberfläche above the sheet 25. In some areas of the leading edge stop 100 slightly differently configured deflectors 20 are arranged, which do not surround a sheet 25, but rather are arranged on both sides of a carrier 30. These deflectors 20 have a corresponding inlet bevel 21 and a groove 23. In the carriers, for example, conveyor belts are mounted or said guide grille attached.

In den extremen Randbereichen des Vorderkantenanschlags 100 sind Seitenkantenanschläge 40 angeordnet, die ebenfalls über Einlaufschrägen 41 verfügen. Dieser Seitenkantenanschlag 40 hat vorzugsweise eine feste Positionsbeziehung zu dem benachbarten Träger 30 und wird auch entsprechend der Abmessungen des blattförmigen Bedruckstoffs 1 mit verschoben.In the extreme edge regions of the leading edge stop 100 side edge stops 40 are arranged, which also have inlet slopes 41. This side edge stopper 40 preferably has a fixed positional relationship to the adjacent carrier 30 and is also displaced according to the dimensions of the sheet-like substrate 1 with.

Der Vorderkantenanschlagträger 10 kann in der mit dem Bezugszeichen 14 gekennzeichneten Bewegungsrichtung auf und ab bewegt werden. Diese Beweglichkeit des Vorderkantenanschlagträgers 10 dient dazu, den Vorderkantenanschlagträger 10 aus der Transportebene 5 zu bewegen, wenn er nicht gebracht wird, also wenn zum Beispiel kein Schwertfalz im blattförmigen Bedruckstoff 1 gebildet werden soll.The leading edge stop carrier 10 can be moved up and down in the direction of movement indicated by reference numeral 14. This mobility of the leading edge stop carrier 10 serves to remove the leading edge stop carrier 10 from the Transport level 5 to move when it is not brought, so if, for example, no sword fold in the sheet-shaped substrate 1 is to be formed.

Der erfindungsgemäße Vorderkantenanschlag 100 kann besonders vorteilhaft in Schwertfalzwerken, insbesondere in den so genannten Kombifalzmaschinen eingesetzt werden, aber auch eine Anwendung in anderen Vorrichtungen zum Handhaben von blattförmigen Bedruckstoffen 1, in denen die blattförmigen Bedruckstoffe 1 anhand ihrer Vorderkante 3 gestoppt und ausgerichtet werden, ist denkbar, etwa in Stanzen.The front edge stop 100 according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously in knife folders, in particular in the so-called combination folding machines, but also an application in other devices for handling sheet-shaped substrates 1, in which the sheet-like substrates 1 are stopped and aligned based on their front edge 3 is conceivable in punching, for example.
