Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a long sized tied body by a method wherein books which are discharged from a folding machine are aligned by a specified quantity and tied by a band to make a short sized tied body, and the short sized tied bodies are put together by a plurality and tied by a band from the outside. CONSTITUTION:Books 1 which are discharged from a folding machine in order are accumulated in the longitudinal direction at an accumulation position at the right side of a book butt-aligning area A. When a fixed number of books have been accumulated, by a pair of holding plates, the books are moved on a guide plate 2 to a carry- out position at the left side. At the rear end of an accumulated body 3, a backing plate 4 is inserted, and the accumulated body 3 is carried to the side of the guide plate 2 by a pusher plate, and moved to the following first tying section B. The accumulated body 3 is further compressed, and tied by a band 5, and a short sized tied body 6 is formed. The short sized tied body 6 is moved to the following second tying section C, and the short sized tied body 6 is moved to the right side and made to stand by. In the same manner, a short sized tied body 7 without backing plate and a short sized tied body 8 which has a backing plate 9 on the left side are formed in order, and three short sized tied bodies 6, 7, 8 are tied by a band 10 to form a long sized tied body 11.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for bundling so-called printed books that have been printed and folded.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in order to transport printed books discharged from a folding machine to a bookbinding process, a predetermined number of printed books are stacked on a stacker, a contact plate is applied to both ends, and the circumference is tied with a band. and
These sheets are stacked manually on a pallet using a jig, and the entire pallet is transported to a bookbinding machine using a forklift or self-propelled conveyor. In this case, for efficiency of transportation, a large number of printed books are bundled together and transported as a long bundle.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] By the way, when binding printed books, printing companies often outsource some of the work to small-scale bookbinders. They had to do tedious work such as re-tying things that had been tied together into short pieces that could be carried by hand.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a binding method that can easily form short bundles.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the binding method of the present invention includes binding a predetermined number of printed books discharged from a folding machine with an alignment band to form a short bundle; The gist of the present invention is to bundle a plurality of short bundles together and further bind them with a band from the outside to form a long bundle.

[Example] Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 are process diagrams for explaining the binding method of printed books according to the present invention, and FIG.
FIG. 2 shows the first binding part B, and FIG. 3 shows the second binding part C, and these parts A, B, and C are arranged in parallel as shown in FIG. 4.

First, the printed books 1 sequentially discharged from the folding machine are stacked in the vertical direction at the right-hand stacking position in the printed book alignment section A. When a certain number of copies have been accumulated, they are moved on the guide plate 2 to the left-hand unloading position while being held between a pair of presser plates. At this time, the backing plate 4 is inserted into the rear end of the stack 3 shown in FIG. 1 by a known method.

Then, the stack 3 that has arrived at the carry-out position is carried out to the side of the guide plate 2 by the bushing plate and transferred to the following first bundling 8B.

Next, in the first binding section B, the stack of printed books 3 that has been sent is further compressed and bound with a band 5 to form a short bundle 6. Here, the stack 3 was sent with the backing plate 4 in contact with its rear end, so in FIG. It shows the case. The short bundles 6 bound with the bands 5 in this manner are transferred to the second binding section C that follows. Then, in the second bundling section C, the fed short bundled bodies 6 are moved to the right side and kept on standby.

Thereafter, in the same manner, a short bundle 7 without a contact plate and a short bundle 8 having a contact plate 9 on the left side are sequentially formed, and these are sequentially fed into the second bundle RB. Then, three short bundles 6. 7. 8 are lined up in the second binding part C, and the elongated bundle 11 is formed by further binding them together from the outside with a band 10.

In the above embodiment, by controlling the insertion of the contact plates into the booklet alignment section, the short bundles 6. An example is shown in which the contact plate 4.9 is set only on one side of the plate 8. This is because if the stacks to be bound are short, the binding force is relatively weak, so there is less damage to the prints, and if the stacks are long, they need to be tied with strong force, which can cause damage to the prints. Tanu took this into consideration. Therefore, when bundling printed books used for magazines etc. made of relatively lightweight paper such as paper that is less likely to be damaged by bundling,
You can omit the backing plate, or if you want to avoid damage to high-quality paper or coated paper,
A contact plate may be inserted not only at both ends of the elongated bundle 11 but also between each of the short bundles 6, 7.degree. 8, if necessary.

Further, in the above embodiment, three short bundles 6, 7
．． 8 is turned to the east to form the elongated bundle 11, but
For example, it may be practical to bundle two short bundles. Further, depending on the case, it may be practical to fold four or more short bundles together to form a long bundle.

In any case, the number of short bundles constituting the long bundle may be determined as appropriate depending on the paper quality of the printed book, conveyance conditions, and the like.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the bundling method of the present invention, a long bundle made up of a plurality of short bundles can be obtained.
If necessary, by simply cutting the outer band, it can be divided into individual short bundles that can be easily carried by hand. Since the long bundles can be transported as they are until they are divided, the frequency of palletizing the short bundles can be reduced compared to the case where the short bundles are individually palletized, resulting in labor savings.

Further, as in the conventional case, using a special jig, the elongated bundle can be placed on the elongate feeder of the bookbinding machine as it is.
