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 supplied to a further processing unit for the edge trim, a display or the like.
  • Such 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 gathering chains instead of the guide bar, which bend over the free ends of the staples pierced by the foldsheet. 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 formed 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.
  • Another stapling head for saddle stitcher is from the EP 2 045 093 A2 known. From this document, a special former with different length support tabs is known.
  • the known stitching heads work on the principle that the clip-forming elements: driver, former, Umbieger and staple support are moved functionally connected via cam-controlled strokes of the driver and the Umbiegers.
  • drivers and shapers are slidably connected to each other.
  • a disadvantage of these stitching heads that the susceptibility to wear is very high due to the direct sliding contact of the driver to the former. The reason for this is also that, simultaneously with the formation of the clip around the former, the swivel motion of the former is caused by the driver via the contact surfaces between the driver and the former, resulting in and transferring very large forces due to the unfavorable transmission conditions such as the transmission angle be attributed to the surfaces of the sliding guide.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. This object is achieved by a device for stapling collated printed products according to the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the stapling device has a stapling head base body with a former, a clincher, a staple support and a driver.
  • the driver has a roller whose running surface forms part of the driver contour and is in rolling contact with the former contour. As a result of the rolling contact, a substantial reduction in wear on the main wear point of stitching heads is achieved.
  • the in 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 folding chain in the folded sheet feeder 50, 61, 62. Under the gathering chain 22, a guide strip 25 is arranged, the upper portion 21 is formed like a blade and whose straight line the transporting and bookmark 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.
  • a stitching station 24 for this purpose, arranged above the gathering stitching heads 26 and arranged underneath pairs of Klinschem 51/52, which bend the free ends of the stitching heads 26 pierced by the Falzbogenstapel 60 brackets.
  • 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 main body 105 is fixedly connected to a receiving rail 108, which performs a horizontal cyclical 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 slide the remaining movements are derived in the stapler.
  • 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. In the following, the stapling head is limited in its presentation and description to the essential components.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 is another well-known stapling head 26 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.
  • Shaper 1 triggered by the downward movement of the driver 4, a pivoting movement about fulcrum. 8 against the spring force of the spring 7, wherein a first stop is formed by the adjustable stop 9 and a second stop by the driver 4 (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 takes place against 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 the appropriate length is fed to the former 1 and held there, for example, 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 purpose of the staple support 3 is to support the staple 5 "as long as possible, ie to guide the yoke of the staple 5" and to stabilize the legs of the staple 5 "during the piercing operation in the guide grooves 20 of the clincher 2.
  • the legs bend over the clip 5 "avoided.
  • Out Fig. 4 It can be seen that a new wire section 5 is fed to the former 1 even while the already formed clip 5 "is being inserted into a product 200. As a result, the cycle rate with which a stapling head 100 can staple is increased.
  • FIGS. 5a-d the stapling operation with a stapling head according to the prior art is shown in detail.
  • 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 cut stapling wire 5 is located in the former 1 and is held there by the magnet 6.
  • the driver 4 is not yet in contact with the former 1.
  • the clincher 2 is not yet in contact with the wire portion 5. Due to the further downward movement of the clincher 2, 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.
  • Fig. 5c now shows a snapshot during the stapling process.
  • the driver 4 is moved further down, the clip support 3 pivots out and the former 1 slides with its support lugs 15, 16 on the end face 40 of the driver 4 and is so held in a swung position.
  • the driver 4 drives the staple 5 "into the product 200 to be stapled.
  • Fig. 5d shows a snapshot after the stapling process.
  • the driver 4 moves up again.
  • the support lugs 15, 16 of the former slide down on the end face 40, and the former, clincher, driver and staple support return to their original position.
  • the stapling head 100 In contrast to stapling heads 26 known from the prior art and already described above, the stapling head 100 according to the invention has a driver 4 'in which a roller 42 is arranged such that the running surface of the roller 42 forms part of the contour of the roller 1 facing the former 1 End face 40 'of the driver 4' forms.
  • FIGS. 8a-d now the stapling is shown with a stapling head according to the invention.
  • Fig. 8a shows a snapshot just before the beginning of the clip formation.
  • the cut stapling wire 5 is located in the former 1 and is held there by the magnet 6.
  • the driver 4 ' is not yet in contact with the former 1 and the bender 2 has not yet made contact with the wire portion 5. Further downward movement of the bender 2 initiates the stapling operation.
  • a roller 42 forms part of the end face 40 'of the driver 4' in the stapling head according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 9a-9d show the driver 4 'according to the invention with the roller 42 in different views.
