  • the N-1 or Nx remaining printed products in the present example the Fig. 1 the three printed products 11a, 11b and 11c, are fed to a collecting device 12, which brings together three different printed products from the three different storage stacks by means of feed conveyors to an intermediate stack 13 and delivers them to a subsequent packing device 14.
  • the Einpackvoriques 14 are supplied from the supply stack 10d of the selected printed product 11 d in other ways printed products 11 d and each used individually for wrapping or wrapping the intermediate stack 13, so that at the output of Einpackvorides 14 collections 15 are issued, in which the intermediate stack 13 in wrapped around the edge printed product 11 d is wrapped. In this way, in the collection 15, all printed products are once present and wrapped without the need for additional packing material and provision.
  • a printed product is particularly suitable as a wrapping material due to its nature (size, material, strength, flexibility, etc.), it is convenient to select this printed product to pack or wrap the intermediate stack 13 therein.
  • the optical design of the selected printed product before already at his special Einssatz be adapted so that information (font, images, etc.) on the printed product are also clearly visible when the printed product is used as wrapping material. It is also advantageous that the printed product used for wrapping is placed in a prominent place and particularly clearly outwardly in front of all other printed products within the collection 15.
  • FIG Fig. 2 An embodiment of a packing device 14 is shown in perspective in FIG Fig. 2 played.
  • the packing device is between the end of a collecting device 12 (left edge of Fig. 2 ) and the inlet region of a transport device 29 (right edge of Fig. 2 ) and comprises in a transport plane a plurality of successively arranged band-equipped transport paths 24, 27 and 28. Between the transport sections 24 and 27, a wide conveyor gap 26 is released, is returned to the below.
  • the collecting device 12 outputs by means of a transfer device 22 from the individual printed products compiled intermediate stacks 13, which pass over the upper portion of a conveyor line 21 coming from below onto the first transport path 24. Synchronously with each output intermediate stack 13 is conveyed by means of the conveyor line 21 from below each serving as a packaging element printed product 11 d up so that it partially, i. with a rear portion in the direction of transport, below which comes from the collecting device 12 associated intermediate stack 13, while a front portion of the printed product 11 d remains uncovered.
  • the bar-shaped carriers 25 of the transfer devices 18a, b are, after they have left the region of the conveying gap 26 up out laterally out of the range of transport distances and returned in a closed circuit down to retract there again in the range of transport route and ready for a next lifting of a packaging element 11 d in the conveying gap 26.
  • a plurality of carriers 25 is arranged on each side so on a arranged obliquely to the transport direction turntable 23 that the individual carriers 25 are aligned transversely to the transport direction and maintain this orientation in the room when turning the turntable 23 unchanged.
  • the rod-shaped carrier 25 thus carry out a movement, which is composed of a rotational movement about an axis of rotation oriented transversely to the transport direction and an oscillating linear movement in the direction of the axis of rotation. But it is also conceivable to arrange the drivers on the turntable so that they lie on the lateral surface of a truncated cone.
  • the printed products used as a packaging element 11 d are individually withdrawn from the supply stack 10d in a laterally transversely arranged feed device (feeder) 16 and transferred as scale flow of a deflecting device 17 which the packaging elements or printed products 11 d individually at a distance over two transport lines 19 and 20 the conveyor line 21 transported, where they then promoted upwards and with the coming of the collection device 12 intermediate stacks 13th united (“interlocked") in the manner described.
  • the printed products 11 d can be scored in the shingled stream with advantage by a grooving device 50 arranged there, that is to say provided with a groove in the center, which facilitates the subsequent turning over in the transfer device 18 a, b.
  • the packaging elements or printed products 11d are supplied from below and the intermediate stacks 13 come to lie correspondingly on the printed products
  • the situation is at Fig. 3 shown plant and handling device 14b exactly the opposite, ie the packaging elements or printed products 11d are fed from above, stored from above on the intermediate stacks 13 and b carried in the conveying gap 26 by means of similar, but the other way round turning devices 18a, b down.
  • the intermediate stacks 13 are transported by the collecting device 12 by means of transport routes 30 and 31 to an output-side transport device 29.
  • the packaging elements or printed products 11 d come again in a scale flow from a laterally arranged feed device 16 and are then moved individually and at a distance in a deflecting device 17 parallel to the transport sections 30 and 31 obliquely down to the intermediate stack and stored on it. Again, a creasing device 50 can be used with advantage.
  • Circumferential rod-shaped carrier 25 are used to beat the packaging elements or printed products 11 d around an edge of the intermediate stack 13.
  • Fig. 1b For example, when some or all of the printed products 11 ad have a fold F or a binding, when the intermediate stack 13 is formed, the folded or bonded printed products are stacked on each other such that the folds F and the bindings share a common edge K of the intermediate stack 13 form, and that the intermediate stack 13 with the common Edge K is wrapped in the packaging element 11 d.
  • printed products with bonds are understood to be, in particular, printed products which have a bond produced by adhesion on a specific side.
  • a rotating double arm 41 with two opposite arms 42a and 42b is used in the local handling device 14e instead of brush rollers, which always exchange their position when one of the intermediate stacks has passed the conveying gap 26.
  • position of the double arm 41 holds the double arm 41 with its upper arm 42a just the intended for packing print product 11 d so high that the right-funded intermediate stack 13 under the (stationary or only slowly moving) upper arm 42 a can be moved through ,
  • the printed product proposes 11 d above the intermediate stack around and the intermediate stack passes with the folded printed product 11 d between the conveyor belts 36 and 37.
  • the double arm turns so far and so fast in the clockwise direction that the other arm 42b now in the Fig. 6 shown position of the arm 42a and supports the lower printed product of the next intermediate stack. This process is repeated continuously.
  • the in Fig. 7 The mechanism shown acts with its rod-shaped drivers 48a, b and 49a, b similar as in the Fig. 2 and 3 ,
  • the drivers 48a, b and 49a, b are connected in pairs by means of a flexible but longitudinally faithful connecting element 46a, b on reciprocally movable guide wheels 45a, b, wherein the whole arrangement of guide wheel 45a, b and driver pair on both sides of the conveyor belt 43 respectively is rotatable about a rotation axis 47.
  • the drivers 48a, b, 49a, b are thus movable through the conveying gap 26 about the axis of rotation 47 oriented transversely to the transport direction and at the same time as the rotational movement about this axis of rotation 47 perform an oscillating movement parallel to this axis of rotation, which is between a first extreme position, in which the drivers 48a, b, 49a, b protrude into the transport path of the unit from intermediate stack 13 and packaging element 11d, and a second extreme position, in which the drivers 48a, b, 49a, b outside the transport path of the unit from intermediate stack 13th and packaging element 11 d are taking place.
  • the movement of the driver 48a, b, 49a, b is thus analogous to the movement of the driver 25 on the turntables 23 in Fig. 2 and 3 ,
