Definitions
- the invention relates to a rod and a method for producing this rod, in which a plurality of printed sheets combined to form a book block and several book blocks with the same orientation each lower edges of the sheet together to form a bar and pressed, with two adjacent book block before pressing against each other offset and fixed after pressing in their position.
- Such rods are produced for intermediate storage of printed sheets by means of so-called rod jib.
- rod jib stand-together printed sheets are formed forming a rod, pressed together and strapped.
- the required printed sheets and envelopes are known to be printed and stored in any order in a first step.
- the printed sheets which can besispielmik be folded sheets or sheets with glued attachment sheet, collected in the correct order to loose book block and supplemented with other book parts, such as covers for hardcover products, attachment sheet, combined attachment sheets or envelopes and fed to a perfect binder where they are tied in the back and glued with the envelope or MahlzelstMail.
- both are processes feasible with the optimal speed corresponding to them.
- the disadvantage is that the binding process can only be carried out when all printed sheets and envelopes are printed, which requires a relatively large stock of printed sheets and envelopes.
- Next printing presses are known to successively print all the pages of a book and then provide complete, loose book block that can be fed directly to an adhesive binder. From the US3518940A Such a printing press is known. With this method, which is rarely used in practice, it is possible to avoid the temporary storage of printed signatures, which requires a very complex printing press. Moreover, this method is economical only for very long runs and the achievable print quality is low.
- digital printing machines which also successively print all pages of a book and then deliver complete, loose book blocks that can be bound without further operations. Accordingly, with a digital press, it is possible to optionally produce complete book blocks with different contents one after the other.
- Another advantage of digital printing machines is that no printing plates are needed. In addition to avoiding the costs incurred for the production of the printing plates, also eliminates the necessary for the printing plate changes business interruptions.
- the book block forming sheet or single sheets are designed as a stack and stored, for example, offset on a pallet to each other, so that they are later manually separated from each other in a simple manner. Alternatively, full-surface layers of book blocks can be formed, which are separated from each other by an intermediate layer. Such stacked book blocks can be stored for any length before they are fed to a perfect binder.
- the laying of loose stacks on pallets can be carried out automatically or manually with a so-called palletizer.
- a so-called palletizer Such a device is in the EP2098465 A1 disclosed.
- the loose sheet stacks of horizontal printed products are later removed manually from the pallet and inserted into the feed area of an adhesive binder.
- a disadvantage of this solution is known that the loose book block are pressed too little in the seams, making thick products in the fold substantially thicker than in the flat part.
- the lower book blocks are pressed the strongest and the top not at all. Poor or differently pressed book blocks can lead to serious problems in further processing or impede further processing.
- the EP1950159 A1 discloses a stacked array of flat printed products where the printed products in the stack are all aligned identically.
- One of the four sides of the printed products is thicker than the others because, for example, the printed products on that side have a fold or even a staple. So that these stacks are just as stable as those stacks which are formed of partial stacks alternately offset by 180 °, here the stacks of stacks are offset alternately to one another transversely to the thicker side.
- the partial stacks are offset perpendicular to the lower edges in the direction of the height of the stack. Trays designed in this way have the disadvantage that the printed products within the stack are pressed to different extents in the region of the thicker side, whereby the non-pressed seam areas tend to fan out.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method with which formed from gathered sheet blank loose book blocks and after the intermediate storage are again clearly separated from each other. It is a further object of the invention that the book blocks are pressed during the interim storage with a defined force.
- the object is achieved according to the invention in that loose book blocks are brought together to form rods, wherein a book block is offset parallel to the lower edges of the printed sheets and transversely to a height of the rod to be formed, a side edge of the book block protrudes from a side edge of an adjacent book block.
- the lateral offset of book block to book block which forms by this method within the resulting rod, creating clear separation points, which later allow to separate the loose book blocks safely from each other. Only by such a storage of the book block in the form of a rod can be ensured that all book blocks and printed sheets are pressed with the same force and that no deformations of individual book block occur until the removal of the book block at a later date, for example shortly before further processing.
- the book blocks are collected in such a way that the rod is formed such that folding edges of the printed sheets are used as bottom edges.
- the last in the course of the folding process resulting folding edge which is referred to as "last folding edge” is used as the lower edge, since the mechanical strength is highest.
- the n book blocks can be formed from at least one first and one last book block part of the same format and the book block parts each have a side edge on both sides of the bar to be formed.
- the side edge of the last book block part of a book block is alternately offset laterally relative to the side edge of the first book block part of an adjacent book block on a first or a second side of the rod to be formed or on both sides.
- the book blocks of the rod can each be formed from printed sheets with different print contents.
- the printed sheets of a digital printing machine which can optionally produce successively complete book blocks with different contents.
- rods can be made from book block in which several sheets are combined to form a book block and several book blocks are pressed with the same orientation each lower edge of the sheet standing to a rod.
- Each two adjacent book blocks are offset from each other and fixed in position.
- a book block is offset parallel to the lower edges of the signatures and transversely to a height of the bar such that one side edge of the at least one book block protrudes from a side edge of an adjacent book block.
- folding edges of the printed sheets in the bar form the lower edges.
- the book blocks are formed from at least a first and a last book block part of the same format and the book block parts each have a side edge.
- the side edge of the last book block part of a book block is alternately offset laterally relative to the side edge of the first book block part of an adjacent book block on a first or a second side of the bar or on both sides.
- the book blocks of the rod are each formed of printed sheets that have been printed for example by a digital press with different print contents
- the book blocks of the rod can each have a different print content.
- the printed sheets and / or the book blocks and / or the rods have at least one information carrier for their identification.
- each individual bar or its components can be assigned, for example, an individual processing.
- the Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a bar former 6 with upstream printing machine 4.
- the printing machine 4 for example, a digital printing machine, printed on a unwound from a paper roll 39 paper web, which is cut into sections 40 after printing. These sections 40, also called signature, can be designed either as folded in a folding device 37 or as unfolded printed sheet 10 in a scale flow 11.
- the printed sheets 10 have a lower edge 7, which may be a folded edge 5, as in Fig. 1a shown.
- the book blocks 3 1... N thus formed have two side edges 17 1 .
- the folding device 37 is in Fig. 1 illustrated as sword folder, in which the sections 40 are conveyed by means of a sword between two folding rollers and folded by them.
- the end of the conveying path of the sections 40 in front of the folding device 37 can be selected by means of a stop 41 which can be adjusted in the direction U.
- a stop 41 By cyclically adjusting the stop 41 can be transverse to a conveying direction F offset sub-shed 12 form. If the stop 41 is adjusted alternately after every last section 40 of a book block 3 1...
- Subsheds 12 offset transversely to the conveying direction F are formed, which are alternately offset to the left and right in the conveying direction F, corresponding to the content of a book block 3 and which are further conveyed with a scale flow conveyor 38 in the conveying direction F.
- portions 40 may be conveyed transversely directly away from the stop to form a scale flow 11.
- the formation of stacks of sections 40 can take place, these subsequently being converted into a shingled stream 11.
- other book parts 20 such as, in particular, book covers for hardcover products, attachment sheets, combined attachment sheets or envelopes, can also be arranged.
- the shingled stream 11 is piled up in the bar former 6 into a bar 13 with a height H ( Fig. 2b ), provided with end boards 14, pressed with an adjustable force and strapped with a tension element 15. Due to the offset of the partial shed 12 to each other, the book blocks 3 1 ... n stacked in the rod 13 are also staggered. In the strapped rods 13, the pressing force is maintained, whereby all contained in the bars 13 sheet 10 remain pressed with the same force. By squeezing the spring-back of the book block 3 1 ... n in the region of the folds when loosening the tension element 15 can be significantly reduced, which during a further processing of the book block 3 1 ... n higher product quality can be achieved because no deformation of the book blocks 3 1 ... n more occur. As rod-forming 6, for example, the generic device to EP623542 A1 be used. A slider 16 then pushes the strapped rod 13 in the sliding direction S on, for example, a buffer device.
- rods 13 For pressing and stabilizing the rods 13 other devices are also conceivable instead of end boards 14 and tension members 15.
- the rods 13 could be held together and pressed by means of reusable clips, which clips could be automatically or manually returned to the rod former 6 after opening.
- the Fig. 2a shows the basic structure of a rod 13 of book block 3 1 ... n , in which several printed sheets 10 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) are combined to form a book block 3 1... n and a plurality of book blocks 3 1... n with the same orientation in each case on lower edges 7 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) of the sheet 10 are pressed down standing to a rod 13.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stange und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung dieser Stange, bei dem mehrere Druckbogen zu einem Buchblock zusammengefasst und mehrere Buchblocks mit gleicher Orientierung jeweils auf Unterkanten der Druckbogen stehend zu einer Stange zusammengeführt und abgepresst werden, wobei jeweils zwei benachbarte Buchblocks vor dem Abpressen gegeneinander versetzt und nach dem Abpressen in ihrer Position fixiert werden. Derartige Stangen werden zur Zwischenlagerung von Druckbogen mittels sogenannter Stangenausleger produziert. Dazu werden stehend aneinandergereihte Druckbogen eine Stange bildend zusammengetragen, zusammengepresst und umreift.The invention relates to a rod and a method for producing this rod, in which a plurality of printed sheets combined to form a book block and several book blocks with the same orientation each lower edges of the sheet together to form a bar and pressed, with two adjacent book block before pressing against each other offset and fixed after pressing in their position. Such rods are produced for intermediate storage of printed sheets by means of so-called rod jib. For this purpose, stand-together printed sheets are formed forming a rod, pressed together and strapped.
Bei der Fertigung von klebegebundenen Druckerzeugnissen wie Büchern, Taschenbüchern und ähnlichen Produkten werden bekannterweise in einem ersten Schritt die benötigten Druckbogen und Umschläge in beliebiger Reihenfolge bedruckt und zwischengelagert. Anschliessend werden die bedruckten Druckbogen, die besispielsweise auch gefalzte Einzelbogen oder Bogen mit angeklebten Vorsatzbogen sein können, in der richtigen Reihenfolge zu losen Buchblocks gesammelt sowie mit weiteren Buchteilen, wie Buchdecken für Hartdecken-Produkte, Vorsatzbogen, kombinierten Vorsatzbogen oder Umschlägen ergänzt und einem Klebebinder zugeführt, wo sie im Rücken gebunden und mit dem Umschlag oder Fälzelstreifen verleimt werden. Durch die Trennung des Druckprozesses vom Bindeprozess, sind beide Prozesse mit der ihnen entsprechenden optimalen Geschwindigkeit durchführbar. Als Nachteil erweist sich, dass der Bindeprozess erst durchgeführt werden kann, wenn alle Druckbogen und Umschläge gedruckt sind, was ein relativ grosses Lager an Druckbogen und Umschlägen bedingt.In the production of glued-bound printed products such as books, paperbacks and similar products, the required printed sheets and envelopes are known to be printed and stored in any order in a first step. Subsequently, the printed sheets, which can besispielsweise be folded sheets or sheets with glued attachment sheet, collected in the correct order to loose book block and supplemented with other book parts, such as covers for hardcover products, attachment sheet, combined attachment sheets or envelopes and fed to a perfect binder where they are tied in the back and glued with the envelope or Fälzelstreifen. By separating the printing process from the binding process, both are processes feasible with the optimal speed corresponding to them. The disadvantage is that the binding process can only be carried out when all printed sheets and envelopes are printed, which requires a relatively large stock of printed sheets and envelopes.
Weiter sind Druckmaschinen bekannt, die nacheinander alle Seiten eines Buches bedrucken und anschliessend komplette, lose Buchblocks liefern, die direkt einem Klebebinder zugeführt werden können. Aus der
Seit einiger Zeit sind Digitaldruckmaschinen bekannt, die ebenfalls nacheinander alle Seiten eines Buches bedrucken und anschliessend komplette, lose Buchblocks liefern, die ohne weitere Operationen gebunden werden können. Mit einer Digitaldruckmaschine ist es dementsprechend möglich, wahlfrei nacheinander komplette Buchblocks mit unterschiedlichen Inhalten zu fertigen. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Digitaldruckmaschinen besteht darin, dass keine Druckplatten benötigt werden. Neben der Vermeidung der für die Herstellung der Druckplatten anfallenden Kosten, entfallen ebenso die für die Druckplattenwechsel erforderlichen Betriebsunterbrechungen. Die einen Buchblock bildenden Druckbogen oder Einzelblätter werden als ein Stapel ausgelegt und zum Beispiel auf einer Palette zueinander versetzt abgelegt, damit sie später wieder auf einfache Weise manuell voneinander trennbar sind. Alternativ können vollflächige Lagen von Buchblocks gebildet werden, die voneinander durch eine Zwischenlage abgetrennt sind. Derart gestapelte Buchblocks können beliebig lange gelagert werden, bevor sie einem Klebebinder zugeführt werden.For some time, digital printing machines have been known, which also successively print all pages of a book and then deliver complete, loose book blocks that can be bound without further operations. Accordingly, with a digital press, it is possible to optionally produce complete book blocks with different contents one after the other. Another advantage of digital printing machines is that no printing plates are needed. In addition to avoiding the costs incurred for the production of the printing plates, also eliminates the necessary for the printing plate changes business interruptions. The book block forming sheet or single sheets are designed as a stack and stored, for example, offset on a pallet to each other, so that they are later manually separated from each other in a simple manner. Alternatively, full-surface layers of book blocks can be formed, which are separated from each other by an intermediate layer. Such stacked book blocks can be stored for any length before they are fed to a perfect binder.
Das Ablegen von losen Stapeln auf Paletten ist manuell oder mit einem sogenannten Palettierer automatisch durchführbar. Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist in der

Weiter ist bekannt, die Druckbogen statt zwischen ihren flächigen Seiten an ihren Stirnseiten miteinander zu verkleben. Neben den bereits erwähnten Nachteilen einer solchen Beleimung, kommt bei diesem Verfahren zusätzlich der Nachteil hinzu, dass sich der Klebstoff bei der Weiterverarbeitung an Papierführungen ablagern kann, was Maschinenstörungen und Reinigungsaufwand verursachen kann.It is also known to glue the printed sheets together at their front sides instead of between their flat sides. In addition to the above-mentioned disadvantages of such a gluing, this method additionally has the disadvantage that the adhesive can deposit on paper guides during further processing, which can cause machine malfunctions and cleaning effort.
Anstelle einer Lagerung der Druckbogenstapel auf Paletten oder ähnlichen Vorrichtungen, sind ebenfalls Verfahren bekannt, bei denen die Druckmaschine in einer Linie mit dem Klebebinder betrieben wird. Da die Druckmaschine, wie bereits erwähnt, kontinuierlich drucken kann, muss zwischen der Druckmaschine und der Weiterverarbeitung eine Pufferstrecke vorgesehen sein, deren Pufferkapazität ausreicht, um die während der Umstellung der Weiterverarbeitung bedruckten Buchblocks einzeln zu speichern. Zusätzliche Pufferkapazität ist für den Fall vorzusehen, dass die Weiterverarbeitung aus irgendeinem Grund still steht. Alternativ können die in einer solchen Phase bedruckten Buchblocks auch ausgeschleust und später wieder zugeführt werden.Instead of storing the printing sheet stack on pallets or similar devices, methods are also known in which the printing press in a line operated with the perfect binder. Since the printing press, as already mentioned, can print continuously, a buffer gap must be provided between the printing press and the further processing, the buffer capacity of which is sufficient to store the book block printed during the conversion of the further processing individually. Additional buffer capacity is to be provided in case the further processing is at a standstill for some reason. Alternatively, the printed in such a phase book block can also be ejected and fed back later.
Die
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren bereitzustellen, mit dem aus zusammengetragenen Druckbogen gebildete lose Buchblocks zwischengelagert und nach der Zwischenlagerung wieder eindeutig voneinander trennbar sind. Es ist eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung, dass die Buchblocks währende der Zwischenlagerung mit einer definierten Kraft abgepresst werden.The invention has for its object to provide a method with which formed from gathered sheet blank loose book blocks and after the intermediate storage are again clearly separated from each other. It is a further object of the invention that the book blocks are pressed during the interim storage with a defined force.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass lose Buchblocks zu Stangen zusammengeführt werden, wobei ein Buchblock parallel zu den Unterkanten der Druckbogen und quer zu einer Höhe der zu bildenden Stange derart versetzt wird, dass eine Seitenkante des Buchblocks gegenüber einer Seitenkante eines benachbarten Buchblocks hervorsteht. Durch den seitlichen Versatz von Buchblock zu Buchblock, der sich durch dieses Verfahren innerhalb der resultierenden Stange bildet, entstehen eindeutige Trennstellen, die es später erlauben, die losen Buchblocks sicher voneinander zu trennen. Erst durch eine solche Lagerung der Buchblocks in Form einer Stange kann sichergestellt werden, dass alle Buchblocks und Druckbogen mit der gleichen Kraft abgepresst sind und dass bis zur Entnahme der Buchblocks zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt, beispielsweise kurz vor der Weiterverarbeitung, keine Verformungen einzelner Buchblocks auftreten.The object is achieved according to the invention in that loose book blocks are brought together to form rods, wherein a book block is offset parallel to the lower edges of the printed sheets and transversely to a height of the rod to be formed, a side edge of the book block protrudes from a side edge of an adjacent book block. The lateral offset of book block to book block, which forms by this method within the resulting rod, creating clear separation points, which later allow to separate the loose book blocks safely from each other. Only by such a storage of the book block in the form of a rod can be ensured that all book blocks and printed sheets are pressed with the same force and that no deformations of individual book block occur until the removal of the book block at a later date, for example shortly before further processing.
Vorteilhaft erweist es sich, wenn die Buchblocks derart zusammengetragen werden, dass die Stange derart gebildet wird, dass Falzkanten der Druckbogen als Unterkanten verwendet werden. Bei gefalzten Druckbogen ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die im Ablauf des Falzverfahrens zuletzt entstandene Falzkante, die als "letzte Falzkante" bezeichnet ist, als Unterkante verwendet wird, da deren mechanische Belastbarkeit am höchsten ist.It is advantageous if the book blocks are collected in such a way that the rod is formed such that folding edges of the printed sheets are used as bottom edges. When folded sheet, it is particularly advantageous if the last in the course of the folding process resulting folding edge, which is referred to as "last folding edge" is used as the lower edge, since the mechanical strength is highest.
In einer Weiterbildung des Verfahrens können die n Buchblocks aus zumindest einem ersten und einem letzten Buchblockteil gleichen Formats gebildet werden und die Buchblockteile beidseitig der zu bildenden Stange jeweils eine Seitenkante aufweisen. Dabei wird die Seitenkante des letzten Buchblockteils eines Buchblocks jeweils gegenüber der Seitenkante des ersten Buchblockteils eines benachbarten Buchblocks auf einer ersten oder einer zweiten Seite der zu bildenden Stange oder auf beiden Seiten alternierend seitlich versetzt. Dabei entsteht auf eine einfache Art und Weise ein Versatz, der beispielsweise für eine gleichförmige Trennung der Buchblocks vorteilhaft ist.In a development of the method, the n book blocks can be formed from at least one first and one last book block part of the same format and the book block parts each have a side edge on both sides of the bar to be formed. In this case, the side edge of the last book block part of a book block is alternately offset laterally relative to the side edge of the first book block part of an adjacent book block on a first or a second side of the rod to be formed or on both sides. This results in a simple manner, an offset that is advantageous, for example, for a uniform separation of the book block.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung können die Buchblocks der Stange jeweils aus Druckbogen mit unterschiedlichen Druckinhalten gebildet werden. Dabei entstammen die Druckbogen beispielsweise einer Digitaldruckmaschine, die wahlfrei nacheinander komplette Buchblocks mit unterschiedlichen Inhalten fertigen kann.In a development of the invention, the book blocks of the rod can each be formed from printed sheets with different print contents. In doing so come from for example, the printed sheets of a digital printing machine, which can optionally produce successively complete book blocks with different contents.
Mit dem beschriebenen Verfahren können Stangen aus Buchblocks hergestellt werden, bei der mehrere Druckbogen zu einem Buchblock zusammengefasst und mehrere Buchblocks mit gleicher Orientierung jeweils auf Unterkanten der Druckbogen stehend zu einer Stange abgepresst sind. Jeweils zwei benachbarte Buchblocks sind dabei gegeneinander versetzt und in ihrer Position fixiert. Erfindungsgemäss ist bei einer solchen Stange ein Buchblock parallel zu den Unterkanten der Druckbogen und quer zu einer Höhe der Stange derart versetzt, dass eine Seitenkante des zumindest einen Buchblocks gegenüber einer Seitenkante eines benachbarten Buchblocks hervorsteht. Vorzugsweise bilden Falzkanten der Druckbogen in der Stange die Unterkanten.With the method described rods can be made from book block in which several sheets are combined to form a book block and several book blocks are pressed with the same orientation each lower edge of the sheet standing to a rod. Each two adjacent book blocks are offset from each other and fixed in position. According to the invention, in such a bar, a book block is offset parallel to the lower edges of the signatures and transversely to a height of the bar such that one side edge of the at least one book block protrudes from a side edge of an adjacent book block. Preferably, folding edges of the printed sheets in the bar form the lower edges.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Stange sind die Buchblocks aus zumindest einem ersten und einem letzten Buchblockteil gleichen Formats gebildet und die Buchblockteile weisen jeweils eine Seitenkante auf. Dabei ist die Seitenkante des letzten Buchblockteils eines Buchblocks jeweils gegenüber der Seitenkante des ersten Buchblockteils eines benachbarten Buchblocks auf einer ersten oder einer zweiten Seite der Stange oder auf beiden Seiten alternierend seitlich versetzt.In a further development of the rod, the book blocks are formed from at least a first and a last book block part of the same format and the book block parts each have a side edge. In this case, the side edge of the last book block part of a book block is alternately offset laterally relative to the side edge of the first book block part of an adjacent book block on a first or a second side of the bar or on both sides.
In dem Fall, dass die Buchblocks der Stange jeweils aus Druckbogen gebildet sind, die beispielsweise von einer Digitaldruckmaschine mit unterschiedlichen Druckinhalten bedruckt worden sind, können die Buchblocks der Stange jeweils einen unterschiedlichen Druckinhalt aufweisen.In the event that the book blocks of the rod are each formed of printed sheets that have been printed for example by a digital press with different print contents, the book blocks of the rod can each have a different print content.
In einer anderen Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemässen Stange können zusätzlich zu den zu Buchblocks zusammengefassten Druckbogen auch andere Buchteile, wie insbesondere Buchdecken für Hartdecken-Produkte, Vorsatzbogen, kombinierte Vorsatzbogen oder Umschläge angeordnet sein.In another development of the rod according to the invention, in addition to the printed sheets combined to form book blocks, other book parts, such as, in particular, book covers for hardcover products, attachment sheets, combined attachment sheets or envelopes, can also be arranged.
Vorteilhaft erweist es sich, wenn die Druckbogen und/oder die Buchblocks und/oder die Stangen zumindest einen Informationsträger zur deren Identifikation aufweisen. Dadurch können in der Weiterverarbeitung entweder jeder einzelnen Stange oder deren Komponenten beispielsweise eine individuelle Bearbeitung zugewiesen werden.It is advantageous if the printed sheets and / or the book blocks and / or the rods have at least one information carrier for their identification. As a result, in the further processing either each individual bar or its components can be assigned, for example, an individual processing.
