Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen eine Einrichtung 1 zur Ueberführung von in beabstandeten Klammern 2 eines umlaufenden Förderorgans 3 auf einem Förderweg quer zur Förderrichtung F hängend transportierten Druckprodukten 4 an einen darunter angeordneten, im Ueberführungsabschnitt etwa gleichsinnig umlaufenden Transporteur 5, der in regelmässigen Abständen Greifer 6 aufweist, die die Druckprodukte 4 von den Klammern 2 übernehmen. Der Ueberführungsabschnitt ist durch eine Führungsanordnung 8 ausgebildet, welche die geförderten Druckprodukte 4 vor dem Ueberführen in die Greifer 6 in eine Ueberführungsposition versetzt und stabil hält. Auf dem Ueberführungsabschnitt 7 verlaufen das Förderorgan 3 und der Transporteur 5 in Förderrichtung der Druckprodukte 4 betrachtet über einen Einlaufbereich 9 schräg nach oben und nähern sich alsdann kontinuierlich. Förderorgan 3 und Transporteur 5 überwinden jeweils eine geschweifte Bahn resp. nehmen einen geschweiften Verlauf, der in einen Auslaufbereich 10 des Ueberführungsabschnittes 7 übergeht, wobei der Transporteur 5 in dem Auslaufbereich 10 in etwa horizontaler Richtung weiter verläuft, wogegen der Verlauf des Führungsorgans 3 im Auslaufbereich 10 horizontal oder nach oben gerichtet ist. Als Führungsanordnung 8 sind im ansteigenden Ueberführungsabschnitt 7 beidseits des durch die Druckprodukte 4 gebildeten Förderstromes in die durch die Klammerabstände gebildeten Räume zwischen den Druckprodukten 4 eintauchende, in Förderrichtung wirksame Wendelabschnitte 11 eines wendelartig ausgebildeten Rotors 12 vorgesehen, dessen in Förderrichtung jeweils hintersten Wendelabschnitt 11 hinter jeweils einem in einer Klammer 2 des Förderorgans 3 transportierten Druckbogen 4 in einen freien Raum des Förderstroms eintaucht, um anschliessend von den weiteren Wendelabschnitten begleitet und endlich in einer definierten Ueberführungslage gestützt zu werden. An einer erreichten Ueberführungsstelle wird der Ueberführungsvorgang ausgelöst, indem das Druckprodukt 4 von dem ihm zugeordneten Greifer 6 des Transporteurs 5 erfasst und unmittelbar anschliessend von der Klammer 2 des Förderorgans 3 losgelöst wird.
In Förderrichtung der Druckprodukte 4 betrachtet drehen die wendelartigen Rotoren 12, 13 im entgegengerichteten Sinn, so dass ihre freien hinteren Enden in einen freien Raum zwischen zwei Druckprodukten 4 eintauchen (siehe Pfeile P, P' in Fig. 3).
Mit zunehmender Länge und Begleitstrecke der Wendelabschnitte 11 verjüngen sich die Rotoren 12, 13 kegelstumpfförmig (siehe auch Fig. 4).The Fig. 1 and 2 show a device 1 for transferring in spaced brackets 2 of a rotating conveyor member 3 on a conveyor transversely to the conveying direction F hanging transported printed products 4 to a arranged underneath in the transfer section approximately in the same direction circulating conveyor 5, which has grippers 6 at regular intervals, the printed products Take over 4 of the brackets 2. The transfer section is formed by a guide arrangement 8, which moves the conveyed printed products 4 into a transfer position before transferring them into the grippers 6 and keeps them stable. On the transfer section 7, the conveying member 3 and the feed dog 5, viewed in the conveying direction of the printed products 4, extend obliquely upward over an inlet region 9 and then approach continuously. conveying member 3 and 5 each transporter overcome a curved path. take a curved course, which merges into an outlet region 10 of the transfer section 7, wherein the feed dog 5 in the outlet region 10 in approximately horizontal direction continues, whereas the course of the guide member 3 in the outlet region 10 is directed horizontally or upwards. As a guide assembly 8 are provided in the rising transfer section 7 on both sides of the formed by the printed products 4 flow in the spaces formed by the clamping distances between the printed products 4, effective in the conveying direction coil sections 11 of a helical rotor 12, whose in the conveying direction in each case the rearmost coil section 11 behind each one in a bracket 2 of the conveying member 3 transported sheet 4 immersed in a free space of the flow to be followed by the other spiral sections and finally supported in a defined Ueberführungslage. At an reached transfer point of the transfer operation is triggered by the printed product 4 detected by the associated gripper 6 of the carrier 5 and immediately afterwards released from the bracket 2 of the conveyor member 3.
When viewed in the conveying direction of the printed products 4, the helical rotors 12, 13 rotate in the opposite sense, so that their free rear ends dip into a free space between two printed products 4 (see arrows P, P 'in FIG Fig. 3 ).
With increasing length and accompanying distance of the helical sections 11, the rotors 12, 13 taper in a frustoconical shape (see also Fig. 4 ).

Ebenso nimmt die Steigung unter den Wendelabschnitten 11 in Förderrichtung der Druckprodukte 4 ab. Die Wendelabschnitte 11 der Rotoren 12, 13 können aus Federstahl, Federdraht oder Kunststoff gebildet sein.
Die,wendelartigen Rotoren 12, 13 weisen eine in Förderrichtung betrachtet schräg nach oben ansteigende Drehachse auf, die durch eine Welle 14 gebildet ist.Likewise, the pitch under the helical sections 11 decreases in the conveying direction of the printed products 4. The helical sections 11 of the rotors 12, 13 may be formed of spring steel, spring wire or plastic.
The helical rotors 12, 13 have a viewed in the conveying direction obliquely upwardly rising axis of rotation, which is formed by a shaft 14.

Die Fig. 3 veranschaulicht die Einrichtung 1 mit beidseits der von dem Förderorgan 3 transportierten Druckprodukten angeordneten wendelartigen Rotoren 12, 13, die gegenläufig rotierend angetrieben sind und deren gegenseitiger Abstand verstellbar ist.The Fig. 3 illustrates the device 1 with both sides of the transported by the conveying member 3 printed products arranged helical rotors 12, 13 which are driven in opposite directions rotating and their mutual distance is adjustable.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen eine Antriebsvorrichtung 15, bestehend aus Getriebemotor 16, der durch ein Zahnriemenvorgelege 17 mit der Welle 14 verbunden ist. Antriebsvorrichtung 15 und Rotor 12, 13 sind an einem Gestell 18 der Einrichtung 1 befestigt. Zur Betätigung der Klammern 2 des Förderorgans 3 und der Greifer 6 des Transporteurs 5 sind Betätigungsvorrichtungen 19, 20 vorgesehen, wozu das Förderorgan 3 und der Transporteur 5 zumindest auf dem Ueberführungsabschnitt 7 formschlüssig zu führen sind, damit ein Schliessen der Greifer 6 und ein Oeffnen der Klammern 2 des Förderorgans 3 mit mechanischen Mitteln 19, 20 vorgenommen werden kann. Zur Ueberführung von Druckprodukten 4 unterschiedlicher Formatgrösse, beispielsweise unterschiedlich langer Schenkel, ist auf dem Ueberführungsabschnitt 7 der ansteigende Führungsabschnitt versetzbar ausgebildet, so dass durch Verstellen des Führungsabschnittes unterschiedlich grosse Druckprodukte 4 vom Förderorgan 3 an den Transporteur 5 überführbar sind. Hierzu ist eine für den Transporteur 5 auf dem Ueberführungsabschnitt 7 vorgesehene formschlüssige Führung 21 verstellbar angeordnet. Fig. 1 zeigt die Führung 21 in einer Position für Druckprodukte 4 mit längeren Schenkeln als dass sie in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist. Fig. 2 zeigt eine ausgestossene Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 22, durch die die Führung 21 im Ueberführungsabschnitt 7 nach links versetzt ist, sodass der Abstand zwischen Förderorgan 3 und Transporteur im Ueberführungsabschnitt 7 kleiner ist als in Fig. 1.The Fig. 1 and 2 show a drive device 15, consisting of a gear motor 16 which is connected by a toothed belt countershaft 17 with the shaft 14. Drive device 15 and rotor 12, 13 are mounted on a frame 18 of the device 1. For actuation of the brackets 2 of the conveying member 3 and the gripper 6 of the carrier 5 actuators 19, 20 are provided, for which the conveying member 3 and the feed dog 5 are to perform positively at least on the transfer section 7, thus closing the gripper 6 and an opening of the Clamps 2 of the conveying member 3 by mechanical means 19, 20 can be made. For the transfer of printed products 4 different format size, for example, different lengths of leg, the rising guide portion is displaceably formed on the transfer section 7, so that by adjusting the guide portion different sized printed products 4 from the conveyor member 3 to the conveyor 5 can be transferred. For this purpose, one for the conveyor 5 on the Ueberführungsabschnitt 7 provided positive guide 21 arranged adjustable. Fig. 1 shows the guide 21 in a position for printed products 4 with longer legs than that in Fig. 2 is shown. Fig. 2 shows an ejected piston-cylinder unit 22, through which the guide 21 is offset in the transfer section 7 to the left, so that the distance between the conveying member 3 and feed dog in the transfer section 7 is smaller than in Fig. 1 ,

Dadurch dass die Klammern 2 des Förderorgans 3 den kleineren Abstand als die Greifer 6 des Transporteurs 5 aufweisen, ist der Transporteur 5 mit der grösseren Geschwindigkeit als das Förderorgan 3 angetrieben.The fact that the brackets 2 of the conveying member 3 have the smaller distance than the gripper 6 of the conveyor 5, the conveyor 5 is driven at a greater speed than the conveying member 3.
