- the feeding means comprise a creasing device for creasing the supplied packaging elements.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a method according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the example shown is based on four individual printed products 11a to 11d, which are, for example, folded or bound brochures, advertising leaflets or the like and of which in each case a corresponding supply stack (a pallet or the like) 10a to 10d with a plurality of single copies is available and provided.
- individual printed products 11a to 11d which are, for example, folded or bound brochures, advertising leaflets or the like and of which in each case a corresponding supply stack (a pallet or the like) 10a to 10d with a plurality of single copies is available and provided.
- a printed product in this case the printed product 11d and the associated stockpile 10d, is selected and kept ready for wrapping.
- N 2, 3, 4,
- Different print products one is held ready and the remaining N-1 printed products are packed by means of this one selected print product.
- more than one printed product generally x (x> 1) printed products, is selected, and that the remaining N-x printed products are packaged with the aid of the x selected.
- 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 in each case 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 11d in other ways printed products 11d and each used individually for wrapping or wrapping the intermediate stack 13, so that at the output of Einpackvoriques 14 collections 15 are issued, in which the intermediate stack 13 in a order the edge wrapped printed product 11d 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 appropriate 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, the intermediate stacks 13 composed of the individual printed products which reach the first transport path 24 via the upper section of a conveyor line 21 coming from below.
- a print product 11d serving as a packaging element is conveyed upwards by means of the conveying path 21 from below in such a way that it partially, i. with a rear portion in the direction of transport, below which comes the collecting device 12 associated intermediate stack 13, while a front portion of the printed product 11d remains uncovered.
- the uncovered part of the printed product or packaging element 11d becomes from both sides detected by projecting into the conveying gap 26 and in the conveying gap 26 from bottom to top moving rod-shaped carriers 25 of a transfer device 18a and 18b detected lifted and lifted against the transport direction to the rear around the intermediate stack 13.
- the collections 15 are transported via the transport path 28 to the transport device 29 and handed over there.
- 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 to be ready for a next lifting of a packaging element 11d 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 11d are individually withdrawn from the supply stack 10d in a laterally transversely arranged feed device (feeder) 16 and transferred as shingled flow to a deflecting device 17 which the packing elements or printed products 11d individually at a distance over two transport lines 19 and 20 to the conveyor line 21 transported, where they then promoted upwards and with the coming out of the collection device 12 intermediate stacks 13th united (“interlocked") in the manner described.
- the printed products 11d 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 18a, b.
- the packaging elements or printed products 11d are fed from below and the intermediate stacks 13 come to lie correspondingly on the printed products 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 11d in turn come in a scale flow from a laterally arranged feed device 16 and are then moved individually and at a distance in a deflection device 17 parallel to the transport paths 30 and 31 obliquely down to the intermediate stack and stored on it.
- a creasing device 50 can be used with advantage.
- circumferential rod-shaped carrier 25 are used to beat the packaging elements or printed products 11d around an edge of the intermediate stack 13.
- Fig. 1b For example, when some or all of the printed products 11a-d have a fold F or a binding, when the intermediate stack 13 is formed, the folded or bonded printed products are superimposed so 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 11d.
- 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 keeps the double arm 41 with its upper arm 42a just the intended for packing print product 11d so high that the right-funded intermediate stack 13 can be moved under the (stationary or only slowly moving) upper arm 42a.
- the printed product 11d strikes the intermediate stack at the top and the intermediate stack passes between the conveyor belts 36 and 37 with the folded printed product 11d.
- the double arm rotates so far and so fast in the clockwise direction that the other arm 42b now turns 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 via reciprocating deflection wheels 45a, b, wherein the whole arrangement of guide wheel 45a, b and driver pair on both sides of the conveyor belt 43 is rotatable about an axis of rotation 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 of 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 13 and Packing element 11d takes place takes 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 ,
- the arrangement of the mechanism on both sides of the transport path in the same way mirror-symmetrically, as in the handling devices 18a, b from Fig. 2 and 3 ,

Unter dem Stichwort "Direct Mailing" sind seit Längerem Aktivitäten bekannt, bei denen Werbeprospekte, Broschüren, Flyer, bedruckte Bögen und dgl., die sonst häufig zu Werbezwecken als Beilagen einer Zeitung beigefügt (eingesteckt) wurden, von mehreren Werbern gesammelt werden, um daraus eine Vielzahl von Kollektionen zu machen, die von einer Vielzahl von Werbern ein Druckprodukt enthalten und in Form eines kleinen Stapels an die Empfänger, z.B. Haushalte ausgeliefert und verteilt werden.The term "direct mailing" has long been known for activities in which advertising leaflets, brochures, flyers, printed sheets and the like, which are often used for advertising purposes as supplements of a newspaper attached (plugged) were collected by several advertisers to it to make a variety of collections that contain a printed product from a variety of advertisers and in the form of a small stack to the recipient, eg Households are delivered and distributed.
Um die einzelnen stapelartigen Kollektionen der Druckprodukte beim Transport und der Verteilung besser handhaben zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, Massnahmen zum Zusammenhalten der einzelnen Stapel zu ergreifen.In order to handle the individual stack-like collections of printed products during transport and distribution better, it is advantageous to take measures to hold together the individual stacks.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, wenn eines der Druckprodukte gefalzt ist, dieses Druckprodukt zu öffnen und die übrigen Druckprodukte in das geöffnete Druckprodukt einzustecken. Das Einstecken der Druckprodukte erfordert jedoch einen erheblichen apparativen Aufwand, der entsprechende Kosten nach sich zieht.It is known from the prior art, when one of the printed products is folded, to open this printed product and to insert the remaining printed products into the opened printed product. However, the insertion of the printed products requires a considerable expenditure on equipment, which entails corresponding costs.
Es ist aber auch denkbar, die Kollektion der Druckprodukte dadurch zusammenzuhalten, dass ein klebender oder nicht klebender Streifen seitlich um eine Kante der Kollektion herum gelegt wird. Eine solche Technologie ist z.B. aus der
Des weiteren ist schon vorgeschlagen worden, die Druckprodukte einer solchen Kollektion durch das Aufbringen von Klebepunkten untereinander zu verbinden, wie dies in der Druckschrift

Aus den verschiedenen Druckprodukten 11a bis 11d bzw. Vorratsstapeln 10a bis 10d wird nun ein Druckprodukt, in diesem Fall das Druckprodukt 11d und der zugehörige Vorratsstapel 10d, ausgewählt und für das Einpacken bereitgehalten. Bei im allgemeinen Fall N (N = 2,3,4,...) verschiedenen Druckprodukten wird eines bereitgehalten und die übrigen N-1 Druckprodukte werden mit Hilfe dieses einen ausgewählten Druckproduktes eingepackt. Es ist aber auch denkbar, dass mehr als ein Druckprodukt, allgemein x (x > 1) Druckprodukte, ausgewählt wird (werden), und dass die übrigen N-x Druckprodukte mit Hilfe der x ausgewählten eingepackt werden.From the various printed

Wenn bei den bereitgestellten Druckprodukten 11a bis 11d ein Druckprodukt aufgrund seiner Beschaffenheit (Format, Material, Festigkeit, Biegsamkeit etc.) als Einpackmaterial besonders geeignet ist, ist es zweckmässig, dieses Druckprodukt auszuwählen, um den Zwischenstapel 13 darin einzupacken bzw. einzuwickeln. Insbesondere kann die optische Gestaltung des ausgewählten Druckproduktes vorher bereits an seinen speziellen Einssatz angepasst werden, so dass Informationen (Schrift, Bilder etc.) auf dem Druckprodukt auch dann gut zu erkennen sind, wenn das Druckprodukt als Einwickelmaterial benutzt wird. Von Vorteil ist dabei auch, dass das zum Einwickeln benutzte Druckprodukt an prominenter Stelle platziert ist und vor allen anderen Druckprodukten innerhalb der Kollektion 15 besonders deutlich nach aussen hervortritt.If, in the case of the printed

Die Sammelvorrichtung 12 gibt mittels einer Übergabevorrichtung 22 die aus den einzelnen Druckprodukten zusammengestellten Zwischenstapel 13 aus, die über den oberen Abschnitt einer von unten kommenden Förderstrecke 21 auf die erste Transportstrecke 24 gelangen. Synchron mit jedem ausgegebenen Zwischenstapel 13 wird mittels der Förderstrecke 21 von unten jeweils ein als Verpackungselement dienendes Druckprodukt 11d so nach oben gefördert, dass es teilweise, d.h. mit einem in Transportrichtung hinteren Abschnitt, unter dem aus der Sammelvorrichtung 12 kommenden zugehörigen Zwischenstapel 13 zu liegen kommt, während ein vorderer Abschnitt des Druckproduktes 11d unbedeckt bleibt.The collecting
Erreicht die Einheit aus teilweise darunter liegendem Druckprodukt 11d und darauf liegendem Zwischenstapel 13 mit dem Druckprodukt 11d die Förderlücke 26, wird der unbedeckte Teil des Druckproduktes bzw. Verpackungselements 11d von beiden Seiten durch in die Förderlücke 26 hineinragenden und sich in der Förderlücke 26 von unten nach oben bewegenden stabförmigen Mitnehmern 25 einer Umschlagevorrichtung 18a bzw. 18b erfasst, nach oben gehoben und entgegen der Transportrichtung nach hinten um den Zwischenstapel 13 umgeschlagen. Nach Beendigung des Einwickelvorgangs werden die Kollektionen 15 über die Transportstrecke 28 zum Transportvorrichtung 29 transportiert und dort übergeben.When the unit of partly underlying printed
Die stabförmigen Mitnehmer 25 der Umschlagevorrichtungen 18a,b werden, nachdem sie den Bereich der Förderlücke 26 nach oben hinaus verlassen haben, seitlich aus dem Bereich der Transportstrecken heraus- und in einem geschlossenen Kreislauf nach unten zurückgeführt, um dort wieder in den Bereich der Transportstrecke einzufahren und für ein nächstes Anheben eines Verpackungselements 11d in der Förderlücke 26 bereit zu stehen. Eine Mehrzahl von Mitnehmern 25 ist dazu auf jeder Seite so auf einem schräg zur Transportrichtung angeordneten Drehteller 23 angeordnet, dass die einzelnen Mitnehmer 25 quer zur Transportrichtung ausgerichtet sind und diese Orientierung im Raum beim Drehen des Drehtellers 23 unverändert beibehalten. Die stabförmigen Mitnehmer 25 führen somit eine Bewegung aus, die sich aus einer Drehbewegung um eine quer zur Transportrichtung orientiert Drehachse und einer oszillierenden linearen Bewegung in Richtung der Drehachse zusammensetzt. Es ist aber auch denkbar, die Mitnehmer auf dem Drehteller so anzuordnen, dass sie auf der Mantelfläche eines Kegelstumpfes liegen.The bar-shaped
Die als Verpackungselement verwendeten Druckprodukte 11d werden aus dem Vorratsstapel 10d in einer seitlich quer angeordneten Zuführeinrichtung (Feeder) 16 einzeln abgezogen und als Schuppenstrom einer Umlenkeinrichtung 17 übergeben, welche die Verpackungselemente bzw. Druckprodukte 11d einzeln mit Abstand über zwei Transportstrecken 19 und 20 zu der Förderstrecke 21 transportiert, wo sie dann nach oben gefördert und mit den aus der Sammelvorrichtung 12 kommenden Zwischenstapeln 13 in der beschriebenen Weise vereinigt ("verzahnt") werden. Die Druckprodukte 11d können im Schuppenstrom mit Vorteil durch eine dort angeordnete Rilliervorrichtung 50 rilliert, d.h. in der Mitte mit einer Rille versehen werden, die das spätere Umschlagen in der Umschlagevorrichtung 18a,b erleichtert.The printed products used as a
