Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for manufacturing a composite printed matter in which another printed booklet or printed sheet is arranged inside a certain printed booklet, and a printing machine equipped with the apparatus.

For example, in the case of a newspaper for home delivery, it is common practice to insert advertisements (sub-booklets) such as advertisements into newspaper signatures (main booklet), but such operations are usually performed manually. .
On the other hand, Patent Document 1 describes a technique for automatically inserting another booklet into the booklet as described above.

  When inserting a sub-booklet such as an advertisement into a main booklet such as a newspaper signature, the sub-booklet may have a different cut length (size) from the main booklet. Requires operating two or more different cut length printing machines to produce booklets of two or more sections of different sizes, and further, after printing each booklet, it is necessary to insert each booklet separately by an inserter. As described above, the technique of Patent Document 1 is equipped with two or more different-cut length printing machines and an inserter so that a booklet of a different size can be automatically folded into the booklet. .

Patent Document 2 discloses individual products (individual booklets) as methods for producing printed products (booklets) composed of a plurality of individual sub-products (individual booklets) such as newspapers and magazines. , Collected on a circulating saddle-like platform, finally gripped by one gripper and transported from a saddle-like platform or a storage member formed between them for further processing The technology is described.

  However, for example, in the case of a newspaper rotary press, in order to cope with so-called double-out, single-out, transfer-out, etc., it is common that the cut length of each folding machine is set to be the same. It is not possible to operate two or more different cut length printing machines. Therefore, as in the technique of Patent Document 1, in order to prepare a different cut length printing machine, a significant increase in equipment is required, resulting in a large increase in equipment cost. In addition, an insert facility such as an inserter is required, and this also requires a significant facility cost.

  On the other hand, if printing of advertisements having a cut length different from that of newspapers, etc. is performed using an existing printing machine having a cut length corresponding to the printing, a new equipment cost is not increased for the printing machine. However, since the printing presses with different cut lengths are not usually lined up in a newspaper press, a separate booklet such as an advertisement is printed separately from the main booklet such as a newspaper to make it into a booklet. It will be inserted into the main booklet.

  Therefore, an insert facility is indispensable, and an increase in facility cost in this respect is inevitable. In addition, it is not easy to print a sub-booklet at the same time as the main booklet is printed, and it takes time to print the sub-booklet and time to transport it, and more time is required to insert the booklet. Become. In addition to this, it may be necessary to store the supplementary booklet in some cases. In addition, personnel for each of these operations are required, and labor costs are required.

  Further, in the technique of Patent Document 2, the base end of each individual booklet (the combined end where each page is bound) is gripped by a gripper or the like, and the front end of each individual booklet (the open end where each page is open) faces downward. The booklet is placed on a saddle-shaped table, and the collection of individual booklets is performed on the saddle-shaped table. In order to place it on a saddle-shaped table, it is premised that the booklet has a base end bound in this manner. However, for example, an advertisement sandwiched in a newspaper booklet (eclectic) is not a booklet, that is, an unfolded one-sheet printed sheet (pella paper). This paper cannot be placed on a saddle-like table, and it is difficult to collect it on other booklets.

  The present invention has been devised in view of such problems, and is capable of automatically sandwiching different-sized booklets or printed sheets in one booklet while suppressing an increase in equipment costs.

[Refer to FIG. 10 (a)] and [Refer FIG. 10 (b)]. In this case, the second web from the printing unit (not shown) to the second former 20 and the cutting lateral folding device 21 can be used. The conveyance speed of 2 is slower than the conveyance speed of the first web 1.

Therefore, it is necessary to guide the second printed matter 2a to the impeller 15 at a speed higher than the conveyance speed of the cutting lateral folding device 21.
For this reason, as shown in FIG. 6, an upstream conveyor belt device 241 and a downstream conveyor belt device 242 are provided as the conveyor belt device 40A.
The upstream conveyance belt device 241 includes a pair of opposed conveyance belts 241a and 241b, and guide rollers 241c to 241h that guide the conveyance belts 241a and 241b to a predetermined path, and the second printed matter 2a is a second one. The former 20 and the cutting horizontal folding device 21 are conveyed at a constant speed.

  The downstream conveyance belt device 242 includes a pair of opposed conveyance belts 242a and 242b, and guide rollers 242c, 242e, and 242g to 242j that guide the conveyance belts 242a and 242b to a predetermined path, and the second printed matter. 2a is accelerated at a higher speed than the upstream conveyor belt device 241 and fed into the folding cylinder 12. Here, 242f is a driving roller (transmission roller), and this driving roller 242f can change the rotation speed so that the conveyor belts 242a and 242b can be accelerated and decelerated.

Further, the guide rollers 242c and 242d arranged opposite to each other at the entrance of the downstream conveyance belt device 242 are separated from each other according to the rotational speed of the transmission roller 242f, as shown by the solid line in FIG. As shown by a two-dot chain line, the sheet is switched to a close sheet holding position.
With this configuration, the guide rollers 242c and 242d are set to the sheet open position when the downstream printed belt device 242 is transporting the second printed product 2a at a speed higher than the speed of the second web 2, and the downstream transport belt device. When the printed product 2a is being conveyed at a speed equal to the speed of the web 2 in 242, the guide rollers 242c and 242d are set to the sheet clamping position. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a difference in speed from occurring when the printed material 2a is transferred from the upstream conveying belt device 241 to the downstream conveying belt device 242, and the printed material 2a can be smoothly transferred without any trouble.
