  • the movement on the book block to achieve 100% registration of the rearmost edge of the book block relative to the fixedly positioned stop face end of the base is that the base plate is supplemented with means which implement at least one rearward movement of the book block relative to the fixedly positioned stop surface.

  • the further transport of the book block from the base plate towards processing station is first carried out with stationary aligned retraction body, wherein the lower edge of the book block, which forms a right angle with the rear edge, either slides on the surface of this retraction body, or the book block after the clamping operation for the further transport is lifted slightly from the surface of the retraction body.
  • This dynamic provision is particularly advantageous if the surface of the retraction body has to be provided with a rather rough grip structure.
  • a further variant of the invention relating to ensuring the movement, in particular the return movement, of the book block is to provide the base plate at least partially with internally installed rollers which transmit directly or indirectly via a drive a rotating movement on the book block, said rollers only slightly over the surface of this base plate protrude.

  • the retraction body 304 so retreating tape or retreat plate, intermittent short backs 306 and 307 performs forward movements, this with the final purpose, one over To ensure the shaking function ensuring the alignment of the book block.
  • the forward movement 307 has primarily the function of causing an intermediate relaxation on the abutment surface side book block edge 308, whereby this movement can be designed as often ausholend as needed.
  • the book block Once the book block has been perfectly aligned, it is fed through at least one transport clamp (see FIGS. 1 . 2 ) and guided to the individual processing stations of the perfect binder.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of a moving body, which is designed as a conveyor belt 402, and which is integrated in a base plate 401, wherein the basic kinematics of this retraction body is designed as a withdrawal movement 404 of the book block 100, as already described FIG. 3 is described in detail.
  • the conveyor belt 402 extends at least in the region of the detected surface 408 of the base plate 401 slightly projecting from its base, so that no friction losses can occur.
  • the rear-facing running direction 404 of the conveyor belt 402 acting on the book block to provide a perfect alignment is uniform.
  • intermittent motion in a 405 or other direction may be implemented.
  • the running direction of the conveyor belt 402 can also be designed in a direction-changing manner 406.
  • the directions of travel of the conveyor belt 402 and their characteristics are always associated with achieving a perfect alignment of the abutment surface side book block edge 308, as shown in FIG. 3 is described in detail.
  • the book block-side surface of the conveyor belt 402 is preferably provided with a gripping structure 403, which serves to increase the grip against the lower-side book block edge 409 so that the book block can not slippage in one or the other direction even with intermittent movements 405, 407 of the conveyor belt 402.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment, as the basic backward movement can be achieved.
  • This retraction movement is to provide the base plate 501 at least partially with internally installed rollers 502, which are directly or indirectly via a drive not shown in operative connection, and which cause by their turns a linear motion to the book block 503, these rollers 502 just slightly above the surface of this base plate protrude, like this FIG. 5 clearly stated.
  • the rollers no longer have any momentary torque, or the rolling motion torque is designed so that the rollers initially rest after impact, and then freely rotate freely as the book block moves is transported further.
  • the roles are initially driven until the impact of the book block.
  • rollers 502 it is also possible to drive the rollers 502 in the opposite direction 504, this in those cases in which an intermediate relaxation on the stop surface side book block edge 308 is to be achieved, so this movement can be at least once also ausholend as needed.
  • FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment, which basically the same structure and operation as under FIG. 5 according to the fact that the movements acting on the book block 503, 504 (see also the description under FIG. 5 ) by a separate runway 602, this runway is covered by a frame 601, wherein such is not necessarily provided in taxiways.
  • the roles of this runway 602 are either driven individually, or they are shared by a single drive not shown in detail, such as this is to express the indicated cross-link 603.
  • intermittent movements can be provided in one direction or the other, as has already been the case in previous ones Figures 3-5 is described in detail.
  • FIG. 7 shows a further variant of how the alignment of the components of the book block can take place.
  • the device 700 shown here is in turn for use in a processing machine (see FIGS. 1 . 2 ), in which the production of books or printed products is carried out, wherein the device is arranged upstream of a first processing station within the processing machine.
  • the book block 100 can also be fed automatically or by hand into the device.
  • This device is formed from at least one alignment station, which consists of at least one base plate 701 or a runway not shown in detail (see Figures 5 . 6 ), wherein the base plate or the runway end has at least one perpendicular or quasi-perpendicular stop surface.
  • the abutment surface 303 ie, the entire body 302, moves toward the abutment surface side book block edge 308, and pushes the book block toward processing stations by the resulting abutting force.
  • this movement 703 takes place, at the same time with the support of the already mentioned shaking function (see description FIG. 3 ) an alignment of the components of the book block instead.
  • the forward movement of the book block is then terminated, thus the leading edge of the book block 100 has reached a demarcation point 702 on the base plate 701 consisting of at least one mechanical or electronic element.
  • the corresponding transport clamp engages, which has advanced in value with the book block, and which then comes into operation at this position, and leads the book block to the processing stations.
  • FIG. 7 the individual executive movements of the body 302 are shown schematically by arrows: Since on the one hand the forward movement 703 of the body 302 is shown, through which the shift of the book block 100 takes place. The intermittent movement 704 of the same body 302, which is possible for this purpose, should accordingly also be possible if required. In contrast, the FIG. 7 by the arrows 705, 706, toward the opposite movements of the body. All movements have the same final purpose as described in the previous figures 3-6, namely to achieve a perfect alignment of the book block before its processing.
