Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stapling device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Devices for stapling folded signatures or printed products are used in print finishing in different designs and performance data.
  • the use of stapling heads in saddle stitchers is widespread.
  • folded printed products are singulated, deposited on a transport chain or the like, collected and collected. Subsequently, they are stapled in a stitching station and then optionally fed to a further processing unit for edge trimming, a delivery or the like.
  • a saddle stitcher is for example from the EP 0 916 514 A1 known.
  • the known saddle stitcher has a stitching station in which successive folded sheets are stapled with the aid of a staple, in particular a wire staple.
  • a staple in particular a wire staple.
  • stapling heads arranged above the gathering chain and clinchers arranged between the collecting chains instead of the guide strip, which bend over the free ends of the staples pierced by the folding sheets. Stapling stations and stitching heads for this purpose, for example, from the DE 44 44 220 C2 known.
  • the Indian DE 44 44 220 C2 stapling head described has a former and a bender, which cooperate to form staples of wire sections.
  • the shaped staples are guided by a staple support in grooves of the clincher and moved by means of a driver on the product to be stapled and driven therethrough. Below the product are in the stapling position clincher or staple with cup-shaped recesses for bending over the legs of the clip.
  • the drive of Umbieger and driver is done by connected to a curve control connecting rod.
  • a disadvantage of such stitching heads is that the legs of the clip protrude from the Umbieger after stapling. Until the actual stapling can the legs of the clip, in particular by entering the stapling area products are deformed. Deformed staples will cause problems when inserting the staples into the product.
  • US 2 635 234 A discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to optimize the leadership of the clip and to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the stapling device has a stapling head base body with a former, a clincher, a staple support and a driver.
  • the former has a support nose for supporting the wire portion and a control nose for controlling the swinging out movement.
  • the control nose interacts here with a control edge of the driver.
  • the support nose protrudes beyond the contour of the control nose.
  • the support area of the former is pulled forward as far as the control edge of the driver in order to feed the wire section maximally deep into the bending grooves of the clincher, and thus to achieve a storage position which is favorable for the pivoting-in bracket support.
  • the contour of the control nose is curved. This allows optimum coordination between the pivoting movement and the length of the support nose.
  • the clip support on a curved guide surface which is provided in its two lateral support areas with recesses.
  • these recesses are spatial chamfers at an angle of about 30 ° and end shortly before the clip support tip. This has the advantage that in the pivoted state abutting the clip back guide surface also called clamp support areas, can not jam, because due to the recesses sufficient margin for tolerances is available. Nevertheless, the clip is supported in the area of the clip support tip on its full width.
  • the staple support is pivotally mounted in the bender.
  • the pivoting movement of the staple support is controlled by a control cam and a control cam in cooperation with a control roller.
  • FIG. 1 illustrated typical saddle stitcher is designated 150 and has a gathering chain 22 as a transport device.
  • Individual signature sheets or folded signatures 17, 18, 23 from the stacks are deposited on the folded chain in the folded sheet feeder 50, 61, 62.
  • a guide bar 25 is arranged, the upper portion 21 is formed like a blade and whose straight line defines the transport and stapling line.
  • the gathering chain 22 forms, together with the guide strip 25, a substantially roof-shaped support on which the collected signatures 60 are transported astride in the direction of the arrow P to a stitching station 24, in which they are stapled with the aid of staples.
  • stapling heads 26 arranged above the gathering chain and pairs of clinicians 51/52 arranged underneath, which bend the free ends of the staples pierced by the stapling heads 26 by the folding sheet stacks 60 serve.
  • FIG. 2 is one of the stitching heads 26 off FIG. 1 shown in detail in the stitching station 24 of the saddle stitcher 150.
  • the stapling head body 105 is fixedly connected to a receiving rail 108, which performs a horizontal cyclic movement, in which the stapling head is brought to the transport speed of stapled, stapled folded sheet stack 60.
  • a slide and drive slide are moved vertically via grooves in two control rails 109 and 110. From the relative movement between the driver slide and slider, the remaining movements in the stapler are also derived.
  • a cutting box 120 is arranged, in which the stapling wire 5 is inserted and cut according to the required wire length.
  • the required wire length depends z. B. on the thickness of the stack to be stapled, as well as the type of wire stitching.
  • the stapling head according to the invention is limited in terms of its representation and description to the essential components.
  • an inventive stapling head 100 is shown with its essential elements such as former 1, bender 2, staple support 3 and driver 4 in two different working positions.
  • the driver 4 and the clincher 2 together with the staple support 3 are moved vertically downward.
  • Former 1 triggered by the downward movement of the driver 4, a pivoting movement about pivot 8 against the spring force of the spring 7, wherein a first stop by the adjustable stop 9 and a second stop by the driver 4 is formed (in Fig. 3 is the former 1 on the adjustable stop 9, in Fig. 4 is the former 1 on the driver 4).
  • the clip support 3 executes a pivoting movement about pivot point 10. The pivoting is effected by the spring force of a torsion spring 11 and by the downward movement of the bender 2, wherein the staple support 3 has a control roller 33 which on a control cam 12 (FIG. Fig. 5a - 5d ) rolls off.
  • a wire section 5 cut to length in the cutting box 120 in a suitable length is fed to the former 1 and held there by a magnet 6.
  • the bender 2 is moved vertically downward on the wire section 5.
  • the Umbieger 2 has two rails, each with an inner guide groove 20, the so-called Umbiegerrillen.
  • the bender 2 strikes the ends of the wire section 5 protruding from the former 1, these ends are bent by approximately 90 ° into the guide grooves 20.
  • These bent ends of the wire section 5 represent the legs, the un-bent center represents the yoke of the clip 5 ".
  • the former 1 is swung out and the clip support 3 is pivoted in.
  • the task of the clip support 3 is to support the clip 5 "as long as possible, ie to guide the yoke of the clip 5" and to stabilize the legs of the clip 5 "in the guide grooves 20 of the bender 2 (see also FIG Fig. 6 ). As a result, a bending over of the legs of the clip 5 "is avoided.
  • Fig. 4 the stapling head 100 is shown at a later time.
  • the stapling process has already been completed and the staple 5 "was removed from the Driver 4 encountered in a product 200.
  • staple pans or clincher for bending the legs of the staple 5 " which are located below the product 200.
  • the former 1 has been deflected by the driver 4, as well as the staple support 3.
  • the driver 4 is in its lowest point at the moment of stapling and is subsequently moved vertically up again.
  • FIGS. 5a-d the stapling process is shown, in particular also the movement sequence of the staple support 3 according to the invention.
  • Fig. 5a shows a snapshot just before the beginning of the clip formation.
  • the control roller 33 of the clip support 3 abuts against the vertical curve segment of the control cam 12 and holds the clip support 3 in swung-out state.
  • the stapling process begins. Together with the bender 2 and the clip support 3 is moved downward.
  • the control roller 33 follows the control cam 12 and causes the clip support 3 to swivel in, so that it supports the clamp 5 "from the moment of its formation due to the frictional force of the clamp 5" in the bender 2, which is rapidly greater, especially with thick wires the spring force of the torsion spring 11, the staple 5 "would be moved vertically downwards with the clincher and the staple support 3 would be pivoted out.
  • the stapling head 100 has a control cam 13, which keeps the staple support 3 in the pivoted state, so that the Clip support 3 can perform their support and leadership function longer and the legs of the clip 5 "does not protrude over the bender 2.
  • the control roller 33 of the staple support 3 rolls while, as in Fig. 5b shown off on the control cam 13.
  • the former 1 is controlled.
  • the control lug 16 of the former 1 protrudes beyond the support lug 15 and cooperates with the end face 40 of the driver in its up and down movement.
  • a staple support 3 of a stapling head 100 is shown in detail.
  • the staple support 3 has a curved guide surface 34 on which the yoke of the staple 5 "slides and is guided, and the staple support 3 has two lateral support surfaces 31 which hold the legs of the staple 5" in the guide grooves 20 of the clincher 2 (not here) shown, see Fig. 7 ) hold.
  • the staple support 3 each has a recess in the form of a chamfer 32 is formed, for. B. by a spatial chamfering at an angle of about 30 °. In principle, however, angles between 20 ° and 40 ° are conceivable.
  • the chamfer 32 prevents jamming of the clincher 2, staple 5 "and staple support 3.
  • the bevel 32 does not extend all the way to the staple support tip 30, so that the support surfaces 31 in the staple support tip 30 are effective over the entire width the clip 5 "advantageously longer be performed.
  • Fig. 8 shows an enlarged view of a snapshot of the stapling process at the time when it is just completed.
  • the driver 4 is further vertically moved downwardly to pierce the formed staple 5 ', 5 "into a product 200, not shown,
  • the staple support 3 is pivoted in to support the staple 5', 5".
  • the outer contour of the former 1 according to the invention was made with greater line thickness and the outer contour of the former 1 'according to FIG The prior art is shown by dashed lines. This makes it clear that the former 1 has a support nose 15.
  • this support lug 15 The task of this support lug 15 is to hold the clip 5 "longer and stop its downward movement 1 'has no such support nose, which is why the clip 5' is already in a lower position and the legs of the clip 5 'protrude from the bender 2.
  • the lower jaw of the former 1 was compared to the lower jaw of the former 1 'extended by the amount x.
