Abstract

The method involves completely winding a strap (11) around a stack (10) of planar flat products (17). Two or multiple stop elements (13) i.e. plate-like finger elements, are positioned on or near the stack to limit a tensioning movement of the strap. Tensile force (Z) is exerted on the strap, so that the strap is tensioned in an inward direction onto the stack. The strap is fixed in a tensioned state and the stop elements are repositioned relative to each other such that the strap is locally overstretched. The stop elements are removed from the stack after repositioning. An independent claim is also included for a device for banding a stack of planar flat products with a strap.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Umreifen eines Stapels von flächigen, flachen Produkten mit einem Band, wobei das Band vollständig um den Stapel herumgelegt und dann auf das Band eine Zugkraft ausgeübt wird, wodurch sich das Band von außen auf den Stapel spannt, und wobei das Band anschließend in dem gespannten Zustand fixiert wird, wobei vor dem Spannen des Bandes an oder nahe dem Stapel zumindest zwei Anschläge positioniert werden, die die Spannbewegung des Bandes begrenzen und an die sich das Band im gespannten Zustand anlegt, und wobei abschließend die Anschläge und der umreifte Stapel voneinander getrennt werdenThe invention relates to a method for strapping a stack of flat, flat products with a band, wherein the band is completely wrapped around the stack and then a tensile force is exerted on the band, whereby the band stretches from the outside to the stack, and wherein the Band is then fixed in the tensioned state, wherein at least two stops are positioned before the tensioning of the tape at or near the stack, which limit the tensioning movement of the tape and to which the band applies in the tensioned state, and finally the stops and the strapped stacks are separated from each other

Darüber hinaus betrifft die Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zum Umreifen eines Stapels von flächigen, flachen Produkten mit einem Band, mit einer Spanneinheit, mittels der das Band vollständig um den Stapel herumlegbar, von außen auf den Stapel aufspannbar und fixierbar ist, und mit zumindest zwei Anschlägen, die die Spannbewegung des Bandes begrenzen und an die das Band im gespannten Zustand anlegbar ist. Insbesondere in der Logistik und Transporttechnologie tritt häufig das Problem auf, eine Vielzahl von flachen, flächigen Produkten, beispielsweise Briefumschläge oder Werbeprospekte zu einer Transporteinheit in Form eines Stapels zusammenzufassen, indem der Stapel in einer Umreifungsmaschine mit einem Band aus Kunststoff umreift und zusammengehalten wird.In addition, the invention relates to a device for strapping a stack of flat, flat products with a belt, with a clamping unit, by means of which the band can be placed completely around the stack, can be clamped and fixed onto the stack from the outside, and with at least two stops, which limit the tensioning movement of the tape and to which the tape in the tensioned state can be applied. In logistics and transport technology in particular, the problem frequently arises of combining a multiplicity of flat, flat products, for example envelopes or advertising leaflets, into a transport unit in the form of a stack by strapping and holding the stack in a strapping machine with a plastic band.

Im Folgenden wird beispielhaft von einem Stapel aus Briefumschlägen ausgegangen, jedoch ist die Erfindung darauf nicht beschränkt und kann auch auf Stapel anderer flacher, flächiger Produkte in gleichartiger Weise angewendet werden.The following is an example of a stack of envelopes, however, the invention is not limited thereto and can also be applied to stacks of other flat, flat products in a similar manner.

Nachdem ein Stapel aus Briefumschlägen zusammengestellt ist, wird das Band vollständig um den Stapel herumgelegt und auf das Band wird eine Spann- oder Zugkraft ausgeübt, wodurch sich das Band von außen auf den Stapel spannt und diesen dadurch zusammenhält. Das Band besteht üblicherweise aus einem relativ biegefesten Kunststoff, insbesondere aus Polypropylen, Polyester oder PET, und wird im gespannten Zustand beispielsweise durch eine Schweißung oder in sonstiger Weise fixiert.After a stack of envelopes is assembled, the tape is completely wrapped around the stack and the tape is applied a tension or pulling force, whereby the tape from the outside clamps on the stack and this holds together. The band usually consists of a relatively resistant to bending plastic, in particular polypropylene, polyester or PET, and is fixed in the tensioned state, for example by welding or otherwise.

Um die Spannung im Band beim Aufbringen der Zugkraft zu erreichen, ist ein Gegenlager notwendig, das von dem Stapel bzw. der Eigenstabilität des Stapels gebildet ist. Wenn der Stapel jedoch relativ klein ist und beispielsweise nur zwei Briefumschläge umfasst, ist die Eigenstabilität des Stapels so gering, dass die Spannkraft des Bandes die Briefumschläge beim Spannvorgang zusammenzieht und zerknüllt. Dabei kann das Band die Briefumschläge einreißen und beschädigen.To achieve the tension in the band when applying the tensile force, an abutment is required, which is formed by the stack or the inherent stability of the stack. However, if the stack is relatively small and comprises, for example, only two envelopes, the inherent stability of the stack is so low that the tension of the tape contracts and crumples the envelopes during the tensioning operation. The tape may tear and damage the envelopes.

Das Umreifen eines Stapels aus flachen, flächigen Produkten der genannten Art ist deshalb nur dann anwendbar, wenn der Stapel eine ausreichende Höhe und somit eine ausreichende Eigenstabilität besitzt. Auf diese Weise lässt sich das Verfahren in automatisierten Anlagen nicht anwenden, da nicht vorhersagbar ist, wieviele Produkte ein Stapel beispielsweise aus Briefumschlägen umfasst.The strapping of a stack of flat, sheet-like products of the type mentioned is therefore only applicable if the stack has a sufficient height and thus sufficient inherent stability. In this way, the method can not be used in automated systems, since it is not predictable how many products a stack comprises, for example, from envelopes.

Die US 2,418,550 beschreibt das Stapeln von weichen, flexiblen medizinischen Kompressen. Der Stapel wird zunächst zusammengestellt und dann von oben zusammengepresst und fixiert, woraufhin ein Spannbügel mit unteren Anschlagfingern und oberen Anschlagfingern seitlich so eingeschoben wird, dass der Stapel zwischen den Anschlagfingern gehalten ist. Um den Stapel und die Anschlagfinger herum wird dann ein Band gelegt und festgezogen und fixiert. Abschließend wird der Spannbügel mit den Anschlagfingern herausgezogen. Das gespannte und fixierte Band übt auf die Anschlagfinger eine hohe Spann- bzw. Klemmkraft auf. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die anschließende Trennung des Stapels von den Anschlagfingern häufig zu Problemen führt, wenn das Band mit einer großen Spannkraft aufgebracht wurde, so dass zwischen dem Band und den Anschlagfingern eine starke Klemmwirkung gegeben ist.The US 2,418,550 describes the stacking of soft, flexible medical compresses. The stack is first assembled and then pressed together from above and fixed, after which a clamping bracket with lower stop fingers and upper stop fingers is laterally inserted so that the stack is held between the stop fingers. Around the stack and the stop fingers around a band is then laid and tightened and fixed. Finally, the clamp is pulled out with the stop fingers. The tensioned and fixed band exerts a high clamping or clamping force on the stop fingers. It has been found that the subsequent separation of the stack from the abutment fingers often causes problems when the band has been applied with a large amount of tension so that there is a strong clamping action between the band and the abutment fingers.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Umreifen eines Stapels von flächigen, flachen Produkten zu schaffen, bei dem sich der Stapel und die Anschläge in einfacher Weise voneinander trennen lassen.The invention has for its object to provide a method for strapping a stack of flat, flat products, in which the stack and the stops can be separated from each other in a simple manner.

Darüber hinaus soll eine Vorrichtung geschaffen werden, mit der sich das Verfahren in einfacher Weise ausführen lässt.In addition, a device is to be created with which the method can be carried out in a simple manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Dabei ist vorgesehen, die Anschläge vor der Trennung von dem Stapel relativ zueinander verstellt werden.This object is achieved by a method having the features of claim 1. It is provided that the attacks are adjusted relative to each other before separation from the stack.

Die Erfindung geht ebenfalls von der Grundüberlegung aus, als Gegenlager für die Spannkraft des Bandes nicht nur die Eigenstabilität des Stapels zu verwenden, sondern zumindest einen und vorzugsweise zumindest zwei Anschläge vorzusehen, die verhindern, dass der Stapel durch die Spannkraft des Bandes zusammengeschoben oder zerknüllt wird. Die Anschläge werden vor dem Spannen des Bandes in der Nähe des Stapels oder an diesem positioniert. Daraufhin wird das Band um den Stapel und gleichzeitig auch um die Anschläge herumgelegt und festgezogen. Durch das Festziehen des Bandes legt sich das Band von außen an den Stapel und auch an die Anschläge an. Die Anschläge besitzen eine so große Stabilität, dass sie die Spannkraft des Bandes aufnehmen und ableiten können. Aufgrund der Anschläge ist die Spannbewegung des Bandes nicht durch die Stabilität des Stapels, sondern durch die Position der Anschläge begrenzt, wodurch sichergestellt ist, dass der Stapel auch im gespannten Zustand des Bandes seine Form behält. Dies ermöglicht es, das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren auch unabhängig von der Eigenstabilität des Stapels in zuverlässiger Weise anzuwenden. Nach Aufbringen der Spannkraft wird das Band in üblicher Weise im gespannten Zustand fixiert. Nach der Fixierung sind die Anschläge nicht mehr notwendig und können von dem umreiften Stapel getrennt werden. Dies kann einerseits dadurch geschehen, dass die Anschläge zurückgezogen werden, andererseits ist es möglich, den mit dem Band umreiften Stapel von den Anschlägen herunterzuziehen.The invention is also based on the basic idea of not only using the inherent stability of the stack as an abutment for the clamping force of the strip, but also providing at least one and preferably at least two stops which prevent the stack from being pushed together or crumpled by the clamping force of the strip , The stops are positioned in the vicinity of or in front of the stack prior to tensioning the belt. Then the tape is wrapped around the stack and at the same time around the stops and tightened. By tightening the tape, the tape applies to the outside of the stack and also to the stops. The stops are so stable that they can absorb and release the tension of the belt. Due to the stops, the clamping movement of the tape is not limited by the stability of the stack, but by the position of the stops, thereby ensuring that the stack keeps its shape even in the tensioned state of the tape. This makes it possible to reliably apply the method according to the invention, regardless of the inherent stability of the stack. After applying the clamping force, the band is fixed in the usual manner in the tensioned state. After fixation, the stops are no longer necessary and can be separated from the strapped stack. On the one hand this can be done by retracting the stops, on the other hand it is possible to pull the tape strapped from the stops down from the stops.

Nachdem der Stapel umreift und das Band fixiert ist, werden der Stapel und die Anschläge in genannter Weise voneinander getrennt. Da die Anschläge während des Spannvorgangs des Bandes dessen Spannbewegung begrenzt haben, liegt das Band noch unter einer relativ hohen Spannung an den Anschlägen an. Um das Abziehen des Stapels von den Anschlägen zu erleichtern, ist gemäß der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Anschläge vor dem Abziehen des Stapels relativ zueinander verstellt werden. Zur Erzielung der relativen Verstellung der Anschläge kann vorgesehen sein, dass nur einer der Anschläge verstellt wird und der andere Anschlag seine Position beibehält. Vorzugsweise ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass beide Anschläge verstellt werden.After the stack is strapped and the strap is fixed, the stack and the stops are separated as mentioned. Since the attacks have limited its tensioning movement during the tensioning operation of the band, the band is still at a relatively high voltage to the attacks on. In order to facilitate the removal of the stack from the stops, it is provided according to the invention that the stops are adjusted relative to each other before the removal of the stack. To achieve the relative adjustment of the stops can be provided that only one of the stops is adjusted and the other stop retains its position. Preferably, however, it is provided that both stops are adjusted.

In einer möglichen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die relative Verstellung der Anschläge dadurch erfolgt, dass die Anschläge voneinander weg bewegt werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich dazu kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Anschläge aufeinander zu bewegt werden. In besonders bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung werden die Anschläge zunächst voneinander weg und anschließend aufeinander zu bewegt.In one possible embodiment of the invention it can be provided that the relative adjustment of the stops takes place in that the stops are moved away from each other. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the stops are moved towards each other. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the attacks are initially away from each other and then moved towards each other.

Aufgrund ihrer voneinander weg gerichteten Bewegung überschreiten die Anschläge die äußere Kontur des Stapels nach außen und spannen das bereits gespannte Band noch weiter, bis das Band in den Bereichen, die an den Anschlägen anliegen, eine örtliche Überdehnung erfährt. Durch die Überdehnung des Bandes wird die Spannung, die es auf den Stapel ausübt, verringert, wenn die Anschläge in ihrer Ausgangsstellung zurückgestellt sind, so dass der Stapel leichter von den Anschlägen abnehmbar ist.Because of their movement away from each other, the stops exceed the outer contour of the stack to the outside and continue to stretch the already tensioned band until the band undergoes a local overstretching in the areas which abut against the stops. The overstretching of the band reduces the tension exerted on the stack when the stoppers are returned to their original position so that the stack is easier to remove from the stoppers.

Das Band, das üblicherweise aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise Polypropylen besteht, besitzt eine hohe Eigenstabilität, so dass sich durch Aufbringen einer Zug- oder Spannkraft keine scharfen Umlenkungen des Bandes erzielen lassen. Bei einem Stapel, der nur aus zwei Briefumschlägen besteht, kann dabei das Problem auftreten, dass das Band an den Kanten des Stapels der Kontur des Stapels nicht folgen kann, sondern eine Schlaufe bildet. Um dieses Problem zu vermeiden, kann in Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, dass die Anschläge nach der Fixierung des Bandes so relativ zueinander verstellt werden, dass das Band örtlich überdehnt und plastisch verformt wird.' Durch die örtliche Überdehnung des Bandes bildet sich an dieser Stelle eine scharfe Umlenkung des Bandes um beispielsweise 360°, so dass das Band auch an sehr dünnen Stapeln gut anliegt. Die örtliche Überdehnung des Bandes wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Anschläge voneinander weg bewegt werden.The band, which is usually made of plastic, such as polypropylene, has a high intrinsic stability, so that can be achieved by applying a tensile or clamping force no sharp deflections of the tape. In the case of a stack consisting only of two envelopes, the problem may arise that the band at the edges of the stack can not follow the contour of the stack but form a loop. In order to avoid this problem, it can be provided in a further development of the invention that the stops after the fixation of the tape are adjusted relative to each other so that the tape is locally overstretched and plastically deformed. Due to the local overstretching of the band forms at this point a sharp deflection of the tape by, for example, 360 °, so that the tape is well applied even to very thin stacks. The local overstretching of the tape is achieved by moving the stops away from each other.

Wenn die Anschläge aufeinander zu bewegt werden, so dass zumindest ein Anschlag und vorzugsweise beide Anschläge vom Rand des Stapels zu dessen Mitte hin versetzt angeordnet sind, ist erreicht, dass das Band keine oder eine wesentlich verringerte Kraft auf die Anschläge ausübt. Dadurch ist die nachfolgende Trennung des Stapels von den Anschläge wesentlich erleichtert.When the stops are moved towards each other, so that at least one stop and preferably both stops are arranged offset from the edge of the stack to the center thereof, it is achieved that the band exerts no or a substantially reduced force on the stops. As a result, the subsequent separation of the stack is much easier from the attacks.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass die Anschläge in auf entgegengesetzten Seiten angeordneten Randbereichen des Stapels positioniert werden. Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, dass die Anschläge vor dem Spannen des Bandes bündig mit jeweils einer Seitenkante des Stapels angeordnet sind. Die Anschläge können als plattenartige Finger ausgebildet sein, auf die der Stapel so aufgelegt wird, dass die einander abgewandten Außenkanten der Finger jeweils mit einer Außenkante des Stapels zusammenfallen.It is preferably provided that the stops are positioned in edge areas of the stack arranged on opposite sides. In particular, it is provided that the stops are arranged flush with each side edge of the stack before tensioning the tape. The attacks can be designed as plate-like fingers on the stack is placed so that the opposite outer edges of the fingers each coincide with an outer edge of the stack.

In vorrichtungstechnischer Hinsicht wird die oben genannte Aufgabe bei einer Spanneinheit durch zumindest zwei Anschläge gelöst, die die Spannbewegung des Bandes begrenzen und an die das Band im gespannten Zustand anlegbar ist, wobei die Anschläge relativ zueinander verstellbar sind. Dabei kann insbesondere der gegenseitige Abstand der Anschläge vergrößert und/oder verkleinert werden.In device technical terms, the above object is achieved in a clamping unit by at least two stops, which limit the tensioning movement of the tape and to which the tape in the tensioned state can be applied, wherein the stops are adjustable relative to each other. In this case, in particular the mutual distance of the stops can be increased and / or reduced.

Vorzugsweise sind die beiden Anschläge von platten- oder stabartigen Fingern gebildet. Der Stapel kann entweder auf die Anschläge auflegbar sein, es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Anschläge von oben auf den Stapel aufzulegen, wobei die Anschläge dann mittels einer Federkraft gegen den Stapel gespannt sein können.Preferably, the two stops are formed by plate or rod-like fingers. The stack can either be placed on the attacks, but it is also possible to hang the attacks from the top of the stack, the attacks can then be stretched by a spring force against the stack.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Stapel 10 aus mehreren aufeinander liegenden flächigen, flachen Produkten 17, beispielsweise Briefumschlägen. Der Stapel 10 besitzt eine Quaderform und liegt mit seiner Unterseite auf zwei plattenartigen Fingern 14 so auf, dass die einander abgewandten Außenkanten der Finger 14 unmittelbar an die einander abgewandten Außenseiten des Stapels 10 angrenzen, d.h. jeweils bündig mit einer Seitenkante des Stapels 10 abschließen. Die Finger 14 bilden Anschläge 13 für ein Band 11, das um den Stapel 10 herumgelegt werden soll. FIG. 1 shows a stack 10 of several superimposed flat, flat products 17, such as envelopes. The stack 10 has a cuboid shape and lies with its underside on two plate-like fingers 14 so that the opposite outer edges of the fingers 14 directly adjacent to the opposite outer sides of the stack 10, ie in each case flush with a side edge of the stack 10. The fingers 14 form stops 13 for a band 11, which is to be placed around the stack 10.

Das Band 11 ist an seinem einen Ende über eine nur schematisch dargestellte Halterung 12 gehalten und vollständig um den Stapel 10 mit Abstand herumgelegt, wobei das der Halterung 12 entgegengesetzte freie Ende des Bandes 11 wieder im Bereich der Halterung 12 liegt, so dass in diesem Bereich eine Überlappung 15 des Bandes gegeben ist. Nachdem das Band 11 um den Stapel 10 herumgelegt ist, wird auf das freie Ende des Bandes 11 eine Zugkraft ausgeübt, wie es in Figur 1 durch den Pfeil Z angedeutet ist. Aufgrund der Zugkraft Z legt sich das Band 11 unter enger Passung um den Stapel 10 und um die Anschläge 13 und spannt sich von außen auf den Stapel 10, wobei jedoch die Spannbewegung des Bandes 11 durch die Anschläge 13 begrenzt ist. Wie Figur 2 zeigt, wird der Stapel 10 durch das gespannte Band 11 zwar in seiner Höhe, d.h. in Stapelrichtung, zusammengedrückt, jedoch verhindern die Anschläge 13, dass die Spannkraft zu einer Deformation des Stapels 10 in der Ebene der einzelnen flächigen Produkte 17 führen kann.The band 11 is held at one end via a holder 12 shown only schematically and completely wrapped around the stack 10 at a distance, wherein the holder 12 opposite free end of the belt 11 is again in the region of the holder 12, so that in this area an overlap 15 of the band is given. After the band 11 is wrapped around the stack 10, a tensile force is exerted on the free end of the band 11 as shown in FIG FIG. 1 is indicated by the arrow Z. Due to the tensile force Z, the band 11 fits tightly around the stack 10 and around the stops 13 and spans from outside onto the stack 10, but the tensioning movement of the band 11 is limited by the stops 13. As FIG. 2 shows, the stack 10 is indeed compressed by the tensioned band 11 in its height, ie in the stacking direction, but prevent the stops 13, that the clamping force can lead to a deformation of the stack 10 in the plane of the individual sheet products 17.

Nachdem das Band 11 seine gespannte Lage erreicht hat, wird das Band 11 im Überlappungsbereich 15 beispielsweise durch eine Schweißung fixiert, wie es in Figur 2 durch die Pfeile S angedeutet ist. In diesem Zustand ist der Stapel 10 durch das Band 11 zu einer Einheit zusammengefasst, wobei jedoch die die Anschläge 13 bildenden Finger 14 noch innerhalb des von dem Band 11 gebildeten Ringes angeordnet sind und wobei das Band 11 noch eine Spannkraft auf die Anschläge 13 ausübt.After the band 11 has reached its tensioned position, the band 11 is fixed in the overlapping area 15, for example by welding, as shown in FIG FIG. 2 indicated by the arrows S. In this state, the stack 10 is combined by the band 11 to a unit, however, wherein the stops 13 forming fingers 14 are still disposed within the ring formed by the band 11 and wherein the band 11 still exerts a clamping force on the stops 13.

Die Anschläge 13 sind relativ zueinander verstellbar. Wie Figur 3 zeigt, können die die Anschläge 13 bildenden Finger 14 aufeinander zu, d.h. in Richtung der vertikalen Mittelebene des Stapels 10 bewegt werden, wie es durch die Pfeile A in Figur 3 angedeutet ist. Auf diese Weise wird die Spannkraft, die das Band 11 auf die Finger 14 ausübt, verringert, so dass der von dem Band 11 umreifte Stapel 10 in diesem Zustand in einfacher Weise von den Fingern 14 senkrecht zur Zeichenebene abgezogen werden kann. Nach Abziehen des Stapels 10 von den Fingern 14 ist eine in üblicher Weise handhabbare Transporteinheit in Form eines Stapels 10 aus flächigen, flachen Produkten 17 gebildet, die von dem umlaufenden Band 11 zusammengehalten sind, wie es in Figur 4 gezeigt ist.The stops 13 are adjustable relative to each other. As FIG. 3 shows, the fingers 13 forming the stops 13 can be moved toward one another, ie in the direction of the vertical center plane of the stack 10, as indicated by the arrows A in FIG FIG. 3 is indicated. In this way, the clamping force exerted by the band 11 on the fingers 14 is reduced, so that the strapped from the belt 11 stack 10 can be pulled in this state in a simple manner by the fingers 14 perpendicular to the plane. After removal of the stack 10 of the fingers 14 a manageable in the usual way transport unit in the form of a stack 10 of flat, flat products 17 is formed, which is of the circulating band 11 are held together as it is in FIG. 4 is shown.

Figur 5 zeigt einen Stapel 10 aus nur zwei dünnen flächigen Produkten 17, beispielsweise Briefumschlägen, wobei das Problem auftritt, dass das Band 11 an den Kanten des Stapels 10 aufgrund seiner hohen Eigensteifigkeit keine so scharfe Auslenkung erhält, dass es der Kontur des Stapels 10 unter enger Passung folgen kann. Um dies auszugleichen, können die die Anschläge 13 bildenden Finger 14 nach außen relativ zueinander verstellt werden, wie es durch die Pfeile B in Figur 5 angedeutet ist. Dabei werden die Finger 14 über die Außenkontur des Stapels 10 hinaus nach außen verstellt und üben dabei auf das bereits gespannte und fixierte Band 11 an den äußeren Umlenkbereichen eine weitere Spannkraft aus, die in dem Band 11 an den Außenkanten der Anschläge 14 zu hohen lokalen Spannungen führt, wodurch das Band 11 in diesem Bereich überdehnt und plastisch verformt wird. Aufgrund der Überdehnung des Bandes ist die Eigensteifigkeit des Bandes 11 in diesem Bereich soweit herabgesetzt, dass das Band eine scharfe Umlenkung erfährt und dadurch der Kontur des dünnen Stapels 10 folgen kann. FIG. 5 shows a stack 10 of only two thin sheet products 17, such as envelopes, with the problem that the belt 11 at the edges of the stack 10 due to its high inherent rigidity does not receive such a sharp deflection, that it the contour of the stack 10 under close fit can follow. To compensate for this, the fingers 14 forming the stops 13 can be adjusted outwards relative to one another, as indicated by the arrows B in FIG FIG. 5 is indicated. In this case, the fingers 14 are moved beyond the outer contour of the stack 10 to the outside and thereby exert on the already tensioned and fixed band 11 at the outer deflection another tension, in the band 11 at the outer edges of the stops 14 to high local stresses leads, whereby the band 11 is overstretched and plastically deformed in this area. Due to the overstretching of the band, the inherent rigidity of the band 11 in this area is reduced so much that the band undergoes a sharp deflection and can thus follow the contour of the thin stack 10.

Bei den bisher dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen wurde der Stapel auf die die Anschläge 13 bildenden Finger 14 aufgelegt und der Überlappungsbereich 15 des Bandes 11, in dem die Bandenden miteinander verbunden werden, wird unterhalb des Stapel 10 zwischen den beiden Fingern 14 ausgebildet. Figur 6 zeigt eine alternative Ausgestaltung, bei der der Stapel 10 vorpositioniert wird und anschließend die die Anschläge 13 bildenden Finger 14 von oben beispielsweise mittels der Kraft jeweils einer nur durch einen Pfeil angedeuteten Feder 16 auf die einander abgewandten Kantenbereiche des Stapels 10 aufgelegt werden, woraufhin dann der Spannvorgang des Bandes 11 einschließlich einer eventuellen lokalen Überdehnung des Bandes 11 in genannter Weise ausgeführt wird.In the embodiments shown so far, the stack was placed on the fingers 13 forming the stops 13 and the overlapping area 15 of the band 11, in which the band ends are connected to each other, is formed below the stack 10 between the two fingers 14. FIG. 6 shows an alternative embodiment, in which the stack 10 is prepositioned and then the stops 13 forming fingers 14 from above, for example by means of the force of each one indicated only by an arrow spring 16 on the opposite edge regions of the stack 10 are placed, whereupon then the tensioning operation of the belt 11 is carried out including a possible local overstretching of the belt 11 in the aforementioned manner.
