Definitions

  • the present invention finds application in the field of bookbinding equipment and particularly relates to a fluid or semifluid adhesive delivering head with a cleaning/sealing device, which is designed to be integrated or anyway connected to a binding machine for binding sheet elements in blocks, such as blocks of paper sheets for books or the like.
  • the invention further relates to a binding machine incorporating said adhesive delivering head.
  • one of the main techniques for binding books and similar items composed of a plurality of sheet elements, generally made of paper and gathered in blocks, comprises distribution of an amount of a special adhesive on the back of the block.
  • the adhesive is distributed through a delivery slot formed in a special seat designed for passage of the block, the latter having the back facing downward, in facing relation with the slot.
  • the adhesive is generally stored in a tank external to the head and is conveyed to the slot through a special circuit, which may have a different configuration depending on the type of binding machine.
  • Removal of excess adhesive and sealing of the slot are generally carried out by introducing a fluid cleaning and/or sealing material into the adhesive feeding circuit.
  • EP1172230 discloses a station for application of the adhesive on a back of the block comprising a head having a slot for delivering adhesive by pressure and a dosing actuator adapted to vary the pressure of the adhesive in correspondence of the slot to control or stop its supply.
  • the protective or cleaning fluid is introduced through the adhesive delivery channel itself.
  • the whole adhesive feeding circuit is filled with the fluid.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks, by providing an adhesive delivering head for binding machines that is highly efficient and relatively cost-effective.
  • a particular object is to provide an adhesive delivering head having a cleaning/sealing device for effective cleaning and sealing of the adhesive delivery slot.
  • a further object is to provide an adhesive delivering head that allows the use of calibrated amounts of protective/sealing fluid.
  • Yet another object is to provide an adhesive delivering head that reduces the time required for cleaning/sealing the slot, thereby increasing the overall throughput of the machine with which the head is associated.
  • a further object is to provide an adhesive delivering head that affords simplified and automated cleaning/sealing of the adhesive delivery slot.
  • an adhesive delivering head with a cleaning/sealing device for binding machines as defined in claim 1, comprising a supporting frame with a seat for guiding a block to be bound, a slot formed in the seat for local distribution of an adhesive on the back of the block to be bound, a first circuit fluidically connected with the slot for feeding the adhesive into the seat, a cleaning/sealing device comprising means for distributing a predetermined amount of a working fluid for removing residual adhesive and/or sealing the slot, said fluid being adapted to be stored in a tank associated with the machine.
  • the head is characterized in that the distributing means comprise a second circuit at least partially separate from the first circuit and having an inlet port adapted to be connected to the fluid tank and a supply port fluidically connected to the slot.
  • the invention relates to a binding machine for binding sheet elements as defined in claim 11, which uses such adhesive delivering head with the cleaning/sealing device.
  • the head of the invention may be used to apply a predetermined amount of liquid or semiliquid adhesive to a back D of a plurality of sheet elements F gathered in adjacent positions to define a block B to be bound.
  • the head 1 may be used to distribute the adhesive on a plurality of paper sheets, either printed or blank, to form a book, a catalogue or similar objects.
  • the head 1 may be incorporated in any binding machine, not shown as a whole as it is known per se, or may form a self-supporting station designed to be associated to one or more additional workstations of a bookbinding system or machine for forming paperbacks or the like.
  • the adhesive to be distributed may be of the hot-melting type, particularly a polyurethane, hot melt, EVA or the like adhesive.
  • an adhesive delivering head 1 essentially comprises a supporting frame 2 having a longitudinal seat 3 for guiding the back D of a block B of sheet elements F to be bound.
  • a slot 5 is formed in the seat 3, at a substantially flat upper surface 4 of the frame 2, for local distribution of the adhesive on the back D of the block B to be bound.
  • the seat 3 may be delimited by a pair of slides 6, 7 located on the upper surface 4 of the frame 2.
  • the slides 6, 7 may be movably mounted to the frame 2 to slide thereon towards/away from each other and adapt the transverse width w of the seat 3 to the thickness s of the block B.
  • the slides 6, 7 may be fixedly mounted to define a seat 3 having a predetermined, invariable transverse width w.
  • the slides 6, 7 may be moved by drive means 8 associated with the frame 2, which may be of mechanical, electromechanical, pneumatic, oleodynamic, hydraulic or mixed type, and be connected thereto by transmissions or other mechanisms.
  • the slot 5 extends into the seat 3 in a substantially transverse direction, to a maximum length at least equal to the maximum width w of the seat 3.
  • a section of the slot 5 having a varying length will communicate with the seat 3 and be adapted to deliver the adhesive.
  • the slot 5 will be adapted to be connected to an adhesive feeding tank, not shown and known per se, through a first feeding circuit, generally referenced 9, to allow distribution of the adhesive into the seat 3 and hence on the back D of the block B.
  • the head 1 further comprises a cleaning/sealing device 10 having means 11 for distributing a predetermined amount of working fluid which is adapted to remove residual adhesive and/or seal the slot 5 when the head 1 is expected to be unused for either short or relatively long periods.
  • the working fluid may be a protective wax or another cleaning and/or sealing material, as commonly used in the art for removing adhesive and/or sealing the adhesive delivery slot 5.
  • the fluid may be stored in a storage tank 12 associated with the head 1 or with the machine, which may be incorporated in the device 10 or may be removably attached thereto, and not be part of the head 1 of the invention.
  • the distribution means 11 comprise a second circuit 13 at least partially separate from the first circuit 9.
  • first 9 and second 13 circuits may have a common portion directly upstream from the slot 5.
  • the remaining portions of the two circuits 9 and 13 may be fluidically isolated from each other or adapted to be selectively isolated from each other.
  • the second circuit 13 has at least one inlet port 14 adapted to be connected to the fluid tank 12 and at least one fluid supply port 15 fluidically connected to the slot 5.
  • the second circuit 13 comprises a feeding conduit 16, as shown by broken lines in Fig. 1 and Fig. 6 , which extends along a longitudinal axis X in a central portion 17 of the supporting frame 2.
  • the feding conduit 16 has an inlet 18 for the working fluid at one end, which does not necessarily coincide with the above mentioned inlet port 14, and is designed to communicate with the tank 12, as more clearly shown in Figs. from 3 to 6.
  • the conduit 16 has one or more fluid supply ports 15.
  • the feeding conduit 16 may have a plurality of supply ports, three in the illustrated configuration, referenced 15, 15', 15", which are longitudinally offset from one another.
  • the supply port 15 or ports 15, 15', 15" open into a storage chamber 19 which is in fluid communication with the slot 5, upstream from the latter, with reference to the fluid supply flow.
  • both the collection chamber 19 and the feeding conduit 16 are located in the central portion 17 of the frame 2.
  • the inlet 18 of the feeding conduit 16 is preferably formed on a side wall 20 of the central portion 17 of the frame 2.
  • the cleaning/sealing device 10 will be at least partially integrated in the frame 2, whereby the head 1 will be more compact.
  • the collection chamber 19 may be also put in communication with the adhesive supply means, and thus form a portion of the first circuit 9.
  • the collection chamber 19 may define the common portion of the two circuits 9, 13.
  • it has an adhesive inlet 21 and at least one adhesive outlet 22 designed to be fluidically connected to the slot 5.
  • the configuration of the first circuit 9 may change according to the characteristics of the delivering head 1 and shall not limit the present invention.
  • the first circuit 9 comprises an adhesive stabilization chamber 23 upstream from the collection chamber 19, and downstream from the adhesive inlet 21.
  • the stabilization chamber 23 is also adapted to be connected to an adhesive tank through a special supply conduit 24.
  • the two chambers 19 and 23 of the first circuit 9 may be connected through one or more passages or nozzles 26, which are designed to be selectively closed by respective shut-off members 26.
  • the latter may include respective shafts 27 sliding in the stabilization chamber 23.
  • Each shaft 27 has a first end 27', external to the frame 2 and associated with actuator means 29 which are designed to promote translation thereof from an open limit position in which the passages 25 are open to a closed limit position in which they are closed.
  • the shafts 27 In the latter position, as shown in Fig. 7 , the shafts 27 have a second end 27" in contact with the passages 25 to prevent any adhesive flow from the stabilization chamber 23 to the collection chamber 19, thereby obstructing adhesive supply flow to the slot 5.
  • the second circuit 13 comprises a delivery conduit 29 having the inlet port 14 at a first end and at least one joint, not shown, at the second opposite end, for connection thereof to the feeding conduit 16.
  • the delivery conduit 29 is put in fluid communication with the fluid tank 12.
  • the latter may also have inner pressurization means, not shown, which are adapted to convey the fluid into the feeding conduit 16 at a sufficient pressure to at least reach the collection chamber 19 and preferably flow out of the slot 5.
  • the second circuit 13 may comprise a connection plate 30 enclosing the delivery conduit 29, as shown in broken lines in Fig. 1 .
  • the plate 30 provides communication between the fluid tank 12 and the fluid feeding conduit 16.

  • the latter may have its inlet 21 at the side wall 20.
  • the plate 30 may also have a housing 33 for the adhesive tank, which is appropriately configured to accommodate the latter and put it in communication with the supply conduit 24 and hence with the stabilization chamber 23 or the other portion of the first circuit 9, if the latter is of traditional type or has a different configuration.
  • the housing 33 has a specially shaped female coupling 34, allowing communication between the adhesive and the supply conduit 24.
  • the provision of the heating means associated with the plate 30 will allow the cleaning/sealing fluid to be heated to the same temperature as the adhesive.
  • the heating means may be also provided without the plate 30, in which case they may be directly associated with the delivery conduit 29, or if the plate 30 does not enclose part of the first circuit 9.
  • the second circuit 13 may have valve means 35 for dividing the second circuit 13 into two mutually fluidically isolated portions.
  • valve means 35 When the valve means 35 are in an active state, they will prevent the adhesive from flowing into the portion upstream from the means 35, thereby avoiding the risk that adhesive may reach the fluid tank 12.
  • the valve means 35 may be located in any position of the second circuit 13, as needed.
  • a non-return valve possibly of electronically controlled type, or a simple on/off valve, which may also be electronically controlled or manually operated, such as a simple tap.
  • the adhesive delivering head and the machine incorporating such head fulfill the intended objects and particularly meet the requirement of allowing effective delivery of the cleaning and/or sealing fluid, while avoiding waste and speeding up both the steps for cleaning and maintenance of the head and those for putting the head back in operation for a new duty cycle.
