Die Erfindung betrifft neben dem Verfahren eine Einrichtung für das klebeweise Verbinden einer Buchdecke an beleimte Aussenflächen eines in einer Buchblockeinhängemaschine in die an der Innenseite eines Buchdeckerückens einen befestigten Schrenz aufweisenden Buchdecke einzuhängenden Buchblocks zu einem Buch, bestehend aus zwei sich auf einem senkrechten Förderabschnitt eines Förderers der Buchblockeinhängemaschine gegenüberliegenden, jeweils einen Buchdeckel der Buchdecke an eine beleimte Aussenfläche eines auf dem Förderabschnitt mittels Sattelplatte rittlings nach oben geförderten Buchblocks anpressenden Anreibewalzen einer mit dem Förderer auf dem Förderabschnitt hin und zurück bewegbar gesteuerten Anreibevorrichtung, wobei dem Förderabschnitt eine rechtwinklig zur Förderrichtung sich erstreckende Auflageebene für die gleichmässig verteilt auf die Sattelplatte liegend ausgestreckte Buchdecke und beidseits der durch die angetriebenen Sattelplatten gebildeten Förderebene zu dieser hin verstellbare, an der Anreibevorrichtung angeordnete Positionierungsleisten zugeordnet sind.The invention relates in addition to the method, a device for the adhesive-proof connecting a book cover to glued outer surfaces of a Buchblockeinhängemaschine in the on the inside of a book cover back a fixed Schrenz exhibiting book cover to be suspended book block to a book, consisting of two on a vertical conveyor section of a conveyor Book block hanger opposite, each with a book cover the book cover to a glued outer surface of a conveyed on the conveyor section by means of saddle plate astride upwards funded book block pressing rollers of the conveyor on the conveyor section back and forth movably controlled Anreibevorrichtung, the conveyor section perpendicular to the conveying direction extending support plane for evenly distributed to the fifth wheel plate lying outstretched book cover and both sides of the conveyor plane formed by the driven saddle plates are assigned to this adjustable, arranged on the gripper positioning bars.

Ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art vermitteln u.a. die DE 43 34 224 A1 , DE 43 34 225 A1 , DE 101 10 319 A1 , EP 1 072 436 A1 und die EP 1 780 038 A1 sowie das Buch "Industrielle Buchbinderei" von Liebau/Heinze, Aufl. 2001, ISBN3-88013-596-7.A method and a device of the type described above provide, inter alia, the DE 43 34 224 A1 . DE 43 34 225 A1 . DE 101 10 319 A1 . EP 1 072 436 A1 and the EP 1 780 038 A1 and the book "Industrial Binding" by Liebau / Heinze, ed. 2001, ISBN3-88013-596-7.

Bei einer Buchblockeinhängemaschine nach der EP 1 072 436 A1 besteht die Gefahr, dass eine ausgestreckt bereitliegende Buchdecke von einem nach oben bewegten Buchblock unkontrolliert angehoben und dabei verschoben wird, bevor die Anreibewalzen der Anreibevorrichtung die Lage der Buchdecke auf dem Buchblockrücken sichern. Dies liegt an dem Umstand, dass die Anreibevorrichtung vor der Uebernahme der Buchdecke durch den Buchblock auf die Geschwindigkeit des Buchblocks beschleunigt wird. Im Uebrigen wird hinsichtlich der Arbeitsweise einer Einhängemaschine beim Einhängen eines Buchblocks in eine Buchdecke auf die EP 1 780 038 A1 , Abs. 0003 und 0004 verwiesen.In a book block hanger after the EP 1 072 436 A1 There is a risk that an outstretched ready book cover is raised uncontrollably by an upwardly moving book block and thereby displaced before the gripping rollers of the gripper secure the position of the book cover on the book block back. This is due to the fact that the rubbing device is accelerated by the book block to the speed of the book block before taking over the book cover. The rest is in terms of the operation of a Einhängemaschine when hanging a book block in a book cover on the EP 1 780 038 A1 , Paras. 0003 and 0004.

Aus der DE-U-7503902 ist eine Bucheinhängemaschine zum Zusammenfügen von Buchblock und Buchdecke bekannt. Die Bucheinhängemaschine weist eine Buchdeckenandrückstation mit beidseitig der Bewegungsbahn der Buchblocks angeordneten, sich mit einem Buchblockförderer synchron aufwärts und zum Anrollen der Buchdecke an den Buchblock abwärts bewegenden Walzen auf. Zudem besitzt die Bucheihhängemaschine ein den Rücken der Buchdecke an den Rücken des Buchblocks andrückendes Niederhalteelement sowie zum Buchblock und zur Buchdecke hin- und zurückschwenkbare Andrückelemente. Das Niederhalteelement nimmt den Rücken der Buchdecke auf und fixiert diesen während der Aufwärtsbewegung des Buchblockförderers und damit auch während der Auiwärtsbewegung von Buchblock und Buchdecke in seiner Lage. Die Andrückelemente drucken die Buchdecke an den Buchblocks an, während der Rücken der Buchdecke mittels des Niederhalteelements in seiner Lage fixiert ist.From the DE-U-7503902 is a book hanger for joining book block and book cover known. The Bucheinhängemaschine has a Buchdeckenandrückstation arranged on both sides of the movement path of the book block, synchronously with a book block conveyor up and rolling down the book cover to the book block moving down rollers. In addition, the Bucheihhängemaschine has a the back of the book cover to the back of the book block pressing down element and the book block and book cover back and swung pressing elements. The hold-down element picks up the spine of the book cover and fixes it during the upward movement of the book block conveyor and thus also during the outward movement of the book block and book cover in its position. The pressing elements print the book cover on the book block, while the back of the book cover is fixed by means of the hold-down element in its position.

Bei einer bekannten Buchblockeinhängemaschine einer Buchlinie oder Buchbindestrasse der Bezeichnung "Diamant" von Müller Martini wird im Hinblick auf eine hohe Buchqualität und Fertigungszuverlässigkeit unmittelbar vor dem Anreiben der Buchdeckel einer Buchdecke an den Aussenseiten eines Buchblocks eine auf den Buchdeckerücken ausgerichtete Positionierungsvorrichtung verwendet, die aus zwei beidseits einer Förderebene der Buchblocks quer zur Förderrichtung der auf Sattelplatten rittlings transportierten Buchblocks gegeneinander und zurückschwenkbaren Positionierungsleisten besteht. Der seitliche Abstand der an dem dem Buchdeckerücken entgegengerichteten Ende einen stumpfwinkligen Spalt bildenden Positionierungsleisten wird jeweils an ein bestimmtes Breitenmass des Buchdeckerückens für einen einzuhängenden Buchblock angepasst resp. eingestellt und dient der Zentrierung des durch einen mittels Sattelplatte an den Buchdeckerücken angehobenen Buchblocks in der durch einen umlaufenden Förderer gebildeten Förderebene. Die Verarbeitungsweise mit dieser zum Stand der Technik gehörenden Positionierungsvorrichtung ist den Fig. 1 a, 1 b und 1 c entnehmbar. Fig. 1 a zeigt die Ausgangsposition zwischen einem Buchblock resp. einer Sattelplatte und der Anreibevorrichtung, in der die an der Anreibevorrichtung befestigte Positionierungsvorrichtung auf den mit einem Schrenz versehenen Gelenkbereich oder Mittenteil des Bezugsnutzens abgesenkt ist. Danach wird zur Synchronisation der Bewegungen von Buchblock und Anreibevorrichtung eine Stellung nach Fig. 1 b erreicht, in der die Positionierungsvorrichtung von der dem Gelenkbereich der Buchdecke wieder entfernt ist. Anschliessend erfolgt die Synchronisation von Anreibevorrichtung und Buchblock resp. Sattelplatte des Förderers wie in Fig. 1 c dargestellt. Dieser Vorgang erfordert einen mechanischen und steuerungstechnischen Aufwand, der die Fertigungszuverlässigkeit und - qualität beeinträchtigen kann.In a known Buchblockeinhängemaschine a book line or Buchbindestrasse the name "diamond" by Muller Martini is in terms of a high book quality and manufacturing reliability immediately before rubbing the book cover a book cover on the outsides of a book block used on the Buchdeckerücken positioning device which consists of two on both sides of a conveying plane of the book block transverse to the conveying direction of the saddle plates astride transported book block against each other and zurückschwenkbaren positioning strips. The lateral spacing of the at the book cover back opposite end of an obtuse gap forming positioning strips is respectively adapted to a certain width dimension of the book cover back for a book block to be hung resp. set and serves to center the raised by a saddle plate to the Buchdeckerücken book block in the conveying plane formed by a rotating conveyor. The processing with this prior art positioning device is the Fig. 1 a, 1 b and 1 c removable. Fig. 1 a shows the starting position between a book block resp. a saddle plate and the rubbing device in which the positioning device attached to the rubbing device is lowered onto the hinged hinge portion or center portion of the reference groove.

Oberhalb der mit einem Buchblock 9 dargestellten Sattelplatte 10 befindet sich die auf einem Gestell 14 liegend ausgestreckte Buchdecke 2 bereit für das Einhängen der Buchblocks 9, wobei ein Gelenkbereich 15 der Buchdecke 2 resp. ein Mittelteil 15 des Bezugsnutzens 47 nach oben über die Buchdecke 2 vorsteht. Oberhalb der Buchdecke 2 steht die Anreibevorrichtung 13 in einer Umkehrposition, aus der sie sich anschliessend nach oben bewegt. Positionierungsleisten 16, 17 bilden mit den der Sattelplatte 10 zugewandten Enden eine Greifzange 19 und sind gemäss den Fig. 2 bis 7 schwenkbar ausgebildet; ihre Schwenkbewegung ist durch Anschläge 42, 44 und 43, 45 begrenzt. Die horizontalen Schwenkachsen 20, 21 der Positionierungsleisten 16, 17 befinden sich oberhalb der gebildeten Greifzange 19. Die Greifzange 19 weist an den sich an der Förderebene 18 gegenüberstehenden Enden der Positionierungsleisten 16, 17 sich zugewandte Ausnehmungen 22, 23 auf, die kraft- und formschlüssig den in den Bezugsnutzen eingefassten Schrenz 8 im Mittenbereich der Buchdecke 2 erfassen resp. teilweise umfassen. Vorteilhaft sind die Ausnehmungen 22, 23 etwa rechtwinklig ausgebildet, sodass sie bei einer Schwenkbewegung der Positionierungsleisten 16, 17 den Schrenz 8 zusätzlich leicht untergreifen (siehe Fig.3).The Fig. 2 to 7 show a device according to the invention 1 for the adhesive-proof connecting a book cover 2 to glued outer surfaces 3, 4 of a Buchblockeinhängemaschine 5 in the on the inside 6 of a book cover back 7 a fixed Schrenz 8 having book cover 2 book block to be hung 9 to a book.

Weiterhin zeigen die Fig. 2 bis 7 jeweils an den Anreibewagen 32, 33 an Schwenkarmen 35, 36 gelagerte Anreibewalzen 37, 38, die nach Fig. 2 bis 5 in eine Ausserbetriebsstellung zurückgeschwenkt sind.By a spindle drive, not shown, adapted to the different Book thicknesses, the passage 34 for the finished books 46 between the associated with a respective loading carriages 32, 33 of the gripper 13 positioning strips 16, 17 are adjusted. Furthermore, the show Fig. 2 to 7 each on the loading carriages 32, 33 on pivot arms 35, 36 mounted grating rollers 37, 38, the after Fig. 2 to 5 have been swung back into an inoperative position.

Anhand der Fig. 2 bis 7 wird die Funktionsweise und die Arbeitsstellung der Einrichtung 1 bei der Verarbeitung von Buchdecke 2 und Buchblock 9 zu einem Buch anschliessend beschrieben. Wie schon oben erwähnt zeigt Fig.2 eine Ausgangsstellung der Einrichtung 1. Nach der in Fig.3 veranschaulichten Situation haben nun die die Greifzange 19 bildenden Positionierungsleisten 16, 17 den Buchdeckerücken 7 an den Längskanten des von dem Bezugsnutzen 47 teilweise eingefassten Schrenz 8 kraft- und formschlüssig erfasst und der auf der Sattelplatte 10 sitzende Buchblock 9 hat sich der Buchdecke weiter genähert. Gemäss Fig. 4 wurde die Anreibevorrichtung 13 aus der Lage gemäss Fig. 2 und 3 nach oben beschleunigt, die Buchdecke 2 wurde durch die Greifzange 19 im Mittenbereich satteldachförmig angehoben und der Buchblockrücken ist in den hochstehenden Gelenkbereich 15 eingetaucht. Die Geschwindigkeit der Buchdecke 2 könnte nun wie in Fig. 5 angedeutet mit der Geschwindigkeit der Sattelplatte 10 synchronisiert werden, sodass während dem weiteren Einhängevorgang ein Hohlraum 39 mit dem Abstandmass X zwischen Buchblockrücken und Schrenz 8 bestehen bleibt. Dieses Abstandmass X kann auf Null verstellt oder soweit eingestellt werden, dass von der Buchdecke 2 kein Druck auf den Buchblockrücken ausgeübt wird. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt resp. Verarbeitungspunkt befinden sich die Anreibewalzen 37, 38 in ihrer Ruheposition. Erst danach beginnt wie in Fig. 6 festgehalten der Anreibevorgang, d.h., der Buchblock 9 hat nach einem weiteren Hochfahren den Schrenz 8 erreicht und die Buchdeckel 40, 41 der Buchdecke 2 wurden über das Gestell 14 hinweg eingezogen und durch ihr Eigengewicht an die Aussenflächen 3, 4 der Buchblocks 9 geschwenkt, so dass anschliessend die Anreibewalzen 37, 38 aus der Ausserbetriebsstellung in die Arbeitsstellung an die Buchdeckel 40, 41 geschwenkt, dort angedrückt und nach unten bewegt werden, währenddem die Sattelplatte 10 kontinuierlich nach oben läuft (siehe Fig.7).Based on Fig. 2 to 7 the operation and the working position of the device 1 in the processing of book cover 2 and book block 9 is then described to a book. As mentioned above shows Fig.2 a starting position of the device 1. After the in Figure 3 illustrated situation now have the gripping tongs 19 forming positioning strips 16, 17 the Buchdeckerücken 7 on the longitudinal edges of the reference 47 partially enclosed Schrenz 8 force and positively detected and seated on the saddle plate 10 book block 9 has approached the book cover further. According to Fig. 4 was the grinder 13 from the position according to Fig. 2 and 3 accelerated upward, the book cover 2 was raised saddle roof shape in the central region by the gripping tongs 19 and the book block back is immersed in the upstanding hinge portion 15. The speed of book cover 2 could now be as in Fig. 5 indicated to be synchronized with the speed of the fifth wheel plate 10, so that during the further Einhängevorgang a cavity 39 with the Abstandmaß X between the book block back and Schrenz 8 remains. This distance measure X can be adjusted to zero or set so far that the book cover 2 no pressure on the book block back is exercised. Until this time resp. Processing point are the Anreibewalzen 37, 38 in their rest position. Only then begins as in Fig. 6 recorded the dribbling, ie, the book block 9 has after another boot reached the Schrenz 8 and the book cover 40, 41 of the book cover 2 were pulled over the frame 14 away and pivoted by its own weight to the outer surfaces 3, 4 of the book block 9, so that then the Anreibewalzen 37, 38 from the inoperative position in the working position the book covers 40, 41 are pivoted, pressed there and moved down while the saddle plate 10 is continuously upwards (see Figure 7 ).
