Description

The invention relates to a Bucheinhängemaschine with the books astride transporting support plates of a circulating conveyor and with a book display, consisting of a arranged in the plane of movement of the support plates, a through hole for the support plates having Abstreiforgan on which the downwardly migrating books to release from the Supporting support plates, with a Auslegeeinrichtung for subsequent lateral interpretation of the books with respect to the plane of movement of the support plates.

From the DE-OS 20 16 425 For example, a book-hanger of the type described is known, with a book display shown in simplified form. In vertical conveying movement, the book blocks are transported astride means of support plates of a circulation conveyor from bottom to top, glued and provided with a book cover. In the further course of the books get during their downward movement in a laying plane lying in the plane of movement with a drum-shaped, about its longitudinal axis back and forth rotatable scraper and attached to this Auslegerechen. The wiper member has a passageway for passing the support plates as the book is being stripped from the saddle plate. About an unillustrated tilting element on the wiper member, the books are taken over by the rotational movement of the wiper from the Auslegerechen and stored on an export belt.

In the DE 197 17 736 A1 is a book display described in which the wiper member fixed in the passage position for the support plates and the Ablegerechen is pivotable relative to the wiper. The movement of a serving as a tilting boom is timed to the movement of the support plates that the book is tilted at the closed by the support plate through hole from its vertical position to Ablegerechen out.

From the DE 196 39 575 A1 There is known a book hanging device in which the books are deposited from an ejection device from the downwardly moving base plates to an export belt. On the pivotable wiper member, a tilting member is arranged, with which the respective book is overturned to the side after the support plate is submerged in the wiper member.

In the known book display systems, the books are virtually knocked over from their vertical position. The Ablegerechen catches the falling motion and places the books in a down to a Abstreiforgan parallel axis pivoting depositing movement on a continuously running export belt. Freshly hung books are subjected to considerable stress, which leads to the deformation of the books and jeopardizes the connection created between book block and book cover. Occurring relative movements with the wiper, the Ablegerechen and / or the export belt can lead to bookmarks with sensitive book covers to markings.

The invention has for its object to provide a Bucheinhängemaschine with a book display of the generic type, which allows for high clock performance reliable and proper interpretation of the books from the circulation conveyor.

This object is achieved in that the delivery device comprises support means with at least the books laterally supporting support rails, wherein the support means from the stripping position in a plane parallel to the movement plane delivery position for the books are movable back and forth. The books are transferred under constant support from the stripping position in the delivery position.

The books are no longer dumped or overturned. When laying out of the circulation conveyor, the books are permanently supported, without the books are released in the meantime. The book form is preserved. Due to the gentle treatment, the adhesive bond between book block and book cover is not endangered.

The dependent claims define preferred embodiments of the book display according to the invention.

Preferably, the support means are movable substantially perpendicular to the plane of movement of the support plates, so that the books are designed while maintaining their vertical position in the plane of movement of the support plates parallel delivery position.

In order to divide the book flow alternately two units of support means can take over the books from the stripping position and transfer in each case in display positions on opposite sides of the plane of movement of the support plates. Preferably In this case, the two units of support means are arranged at a defined distance from each other on a reciprocable carriage.

In a preferred embodiment according to claim 5, the wiper member is provided as said support means. It is moved laterally out of the plane of movement of the support plates, carrying thereby the book deposited on it.

During transfer, the books may be laterally supported by support rails. The books can be transferred laterally clamped in an alternative to the movable wiper alone of the support rails or they are carried by the wiper, under lateral support transferred from the support rails. Preferably, the support rails are formate adjustable with respect to a guide width to book thickness. They may be L-shaped, each with a leg oriented in the direction of the book height and a leg oriented in the direction of the book width, so that the pages of the book are partially released for subsequent transport. For lateral clamping of the books during the sideways orientation movement, the support rails can be closed and openable.

In order to reduce the Aufsetzgeschwindigkeit of remote from the support plates on the wiper member book, the wiper member can be moved downwards at the moment of placement.

In a preferred embodiment of the book display subordinate, pivoting about an axis and the books from the said first delivery position laterally chucking acquiring book tongs provided for turning and transferring the books in a second delivery position.

For defined display of the books in the second delivery position, the pivot axis of the book pliers can be adjusted in size horizontally parallel to him, so that the position of the books in the horizontal direction, in which the book height extends, can be fixed, for example. For changing the reference edge when turning the books from head or foot to book center or vice versa.

For defined display of books in the second delivery position also the pivot axis of the book pliers in the vertical direction can be adjusted in size parallel to him, so that the position of the books in the vertical direction in which the book width extends, can be fixed, for example. For changing the reference edge Turn the Books from frontal to spine or vice versa, where the back shape, whether straight or round, and the roundness can be taken into account.

In book binding machine 10, book blocks 2 are connected with book covers 3 to books 1. The book blocks 2 are fed by a book block transport chain 10.1 a circulating conveyor 10.3, with which the book blocks 2 are transported in an always vertical position astride support plates 10.4. They are thereby provided in the vertical conveying movement by glue rollers 10.6 on the attachments over the entire surface with adhesive and connected to a book cover 3 supplied via a book cover transport 10.2. The books 1 created thereby can subsequently be guided through pressure rollers 10.7.

In the further course, the books 1 move during their downward movement into a lying in the plane of movement 10.5 of the support plates 10.4 book display 20, the books 1 with their front section 1 b on a wiper 20.5 put on, which has a passage slot 20.5a for passing the support plates 10.4 ( please refer Fig. 4 ). The stripped from the support plate 10.4 book 1 is now according to the invention of supporting means of a book 20.1 and 20.2 constantly supported from this Abstreifposition 20.10 in a movement plane 10.5 laterally offset delivery position 20.11 and 20.12 transferred.

As the first support means in this case the wiper 20.5 itself is provided, on which the book 1 is supported with its front section 1 b. The book 1 is therefore no longer pushed down as in the prior art by wiper 20.5, but supported by this or moved out of the plane of movement 10.5 of the support plates 10.4 moved out. The wiper 20.5 is for this purpose on a in a guide rail 20.4 perpendicular to the movement plane 10.5 reciprocable carriage 20.3, so that the books 1 are designed while maintaining their vertical position in a plane parallel to the plane of movement 10.5.

In addition to the wiper 20.5 left and right support rails 20.6 and 20.7 are provided as the second support means, which are open when stripping the respective book 1 of the support plate 10.4 in format-adjustable guide width and immediately before the sideways movement of the carriage 20.3 to a narrow Führungsmaß or with less Clamping force are closed, for lateral support of the book 1. The necessary control means are not explicitly shown in the figures, but symbolized by movement arrows.

To divide the book flow located in the circulating conveyor 10.3, alternately a first and a second book receivers 20.1 and 20.2 can take over the books 1 from the stripping position 20.10 and transfer them to a movement plane 10.5 left and right display position 20.11 and 20.12. The two book receptacles 20.1 and 20.2 are arranged at a defined distance from each other on the reciprocating carriage 20.3, so that simultaneously with the Ausführhub the first book 20.1 recording the second book 20.2 is moved from its right delivery position 20.12 in the stripping 20.10 and vice versa.

To reduce the Aufsetzgeschwindigkeit of the deposited from the support plates 10.4 on the wiper 20.5 book 1, the wiper 20.5 can be moved downwards at the moment of placement. In an alternative embodiment without reference in the figures, the book to be executed 1 can be kept clamped solely by the left and right support rails 20.6 and 20.7. It would be necessary to a single, remaining in the plane of movement 10.5 scraper 20.5, which is displaceable in the execution of the book 1 in a lowered position.

The hanging of the book block 2 in the book cover 3 usually follows the pressing of the book 1, to achieve a wrinkle-free and permanent bonding of the attachments of the book block 2 with the inner sides of the book cover. This operation of the Ganzpressens takes place on so-called Buchform- and -pressmaschinen in combination with the Falzeinbrennen, in which the Buchdeckenfalze 1 c are formed and glued. The books are the Buchform- and -pressmaschinen with downward spine 1a to feed, for alignment of the back 1a and the book 1 on an alignment table 43.1 formed from prism bars 43.2.

The present book display 20 is extended with a double-book pliers 30, with the books 1 from the left and right display position 20.11 and 20.12 in a second left or right display position 30.11 and 30.12 can be converted, the books turned and 1 with their Back 1a are placed directly on said alignment table 43.1.

The double-book pliers 30 has to take over the split book flow on a left and a right book pliers 30.1 and 30.2, which are about a pivot axis 30.3 gegengleich 180 ° back and forth pivotally, which is symbolized in the figures by corresponding movement arrows. The books 1 are laterally gripped with left and right jaws 30.4 and 30.5 in an area left free by the left and right support rails 20.6 and 20.7. The support rails 20.6, 20.7 are for this purpose L-shaped, each oriented in the direction of book height, horizontally extending legs 20.8 and oriented in the direction book width, vertically extending leg 20.9.

By taking place in parallel to itself in the horizontal and vertical direction fulcrum adjustments 30.6, 30.7 of the pivot axis 30.3 - Fig. 3 symbolically represented by dashed double arrows - it is possible to settle the books 1 in a predetermined position on the alignment table 43.1.

With the horizontal pivot adjustment 30.6, the position of the books in the horizontal direction, in which the book height extends, can be fixed. In the book-hanger 10, the books 1 are transported astride the support plates 10.4 with the solid-fixed foot edge 20.13. In the book forming and pressing machine, however, a format-firm book center 30.13 is desired so that the books 1 are centrally clamped in the pressing devices. This reference edge change can be automated in format changes by a corresponding horizontal pivot adjustment 30.6 depending on the respective book height change.

With the vertical pivot adjustment 30.7, the position of the books in the vertical direction, in which the book width extends, can be fixed. After placing on the wiper 20.5 the books 1 are performed with the front section 1 b as a fixed reference edge 20.14 from the book-hanger 10. The Buchform- and -pressmaschine are meanwhile books 1 with the back 1a as a fixed reference edge 30.14 supply. This Reference edge change can be automated in format changes by a corresponding vertical pivot adjustment 30.7 depending on the respective book width change, the back shape, whether straight or round, and the Rundungsmaß can be considered.

The following explains the functionality: In the Fig. 1 Initially, the situation is shown that a book 1 is worn by stripping of the support plate 10.4 of the Abstreiforgan 20.5 of the first book 20.1, while a run from the second book 20.2 to the right delivery position 20.12 Book 1 of the right book pliers 30.2 of the double-tong 30th gripped in the second right delivery position 30.12 is turned. At the same time, the left-hand pliers 30.1 move back to the first left-hand delivery position 20.11. She has just turned off a book 1 in the second left delivery position 30.11 on the alignment table 43.1. The carriage 20.3 with the two book receptacles 20.1 and 20.2 starts with a sideways movement to the left.

In the Fig. 2 the carriage 20.3 has reached its left end position, just in time before the left book tongs 30.1 with open jaws 30.4 and 30.5 moves over the book located in the left book holder 20.1, to seize this book, and just in time before the carrying plate 10.4 straddles it transported book 1 between the support rails 20.6 and 20.7 or through the passage opening 20.5a of the Abstreiforgans 20.5 of the right book 20.2 moves, for stripping the book 1 on the Abstreiforgans 20.5.
