Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatically pasting sample chips onto a mount for producing a sample book of wallpaper or the like.

Conventionally, this work was often done by hand and was inefficient.

In addition, when pasting the machine core, the processes of applying adhesive to the mount and pasting the sample chip were performed at every moment, requiring manual labor to supply and remove the sample chip and mount. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to automate the process of pasting sample chips on a mount and automate the production of sample books.

The automatic sample chip pasting device of the present invention includes a paper feeding section that feeds the mount to a transport means, a gluing section that applies adhesive to a predetermined location of the mount, a pasting section that affixes the sample chip to the location, and a sample chip pasting section. It consists of an 8E paper section for taking out the mount with the chip pasted from the transport means.

In the pasting section, a magazine, a stopper, and a vertically movable suction head are arranged in this order from above on a vertical line, and a push plate movable horizontally and vertically is provided between the magazine and the stopper. A large number of sample chips are stored in the magazine and are transferred one by one to the stopper below by a suction head. After that, a push plate that has moved from the side descends and presses this sample chip from the stopper onto the mount, and the sample chip is pasted. Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

The mount 1 is sent out from the paper feed section onto the feed chain 2 at predetermined time intervals. The paper feeding section is not limited to the method shown in FIG. 1 that uses slits, but any known method such as a suction method can be used. In the gluing section, adhesive 6 is transferred from the glue roller 3 to the plate 5 attached to the plate arm 4.
The adhesive is applied to a predetermined portion of the mount 1 as the mount 1 transferred by the feed chain 2 comes into contact with the plate 5. The glued mount is accelerated by the speed increasing belt 7 and fed until it hits the front stopper 8 of the positioning screw. To ensure this feeding, the mount may be pushed from behind using a feeding lever. In the pasting section, a large number of sample chips 10 are housed in manganese 9, and before the glued mount is fed in, a suction head 12 moves up between the feed chains 11 and sucks the sample chips 10 (FIG. 2a).

When the suction head 12 descends, the spring piece 13 extends in the vertical direction, and only one sample chip is removed from the magazine 9. When the sample chip 10' enters the stopper 14, the suction head 12 releases the vacuum and descends below the delivery chain 11, leaving the sample chip 10' within the stopper 14. The stopper 14 has almost the same planar shape as the magazine 9, and a leaf spring or spring-loaded hinge 16 is provided horizontally on the lower edge of the stopper 14 at least in an opposing position. ’ is held for one time. Due to its elasticity, the leaf spring and the spring hinge can be opened downward to a substantially vertical position when pressure is applied from above. Next, when the glued mount 1 is pushed in until it hits the front cover 8, the push plate 15 moves horizontally and stops on the stopper 14 (Fig. 2b). The push plate 15 descends and the sample chip 1
When 0' is pressed, the leaf spring or hinge 16 of the stopper 14
The opening serves as a guide to the glued portion of the mount 1 (Fig. 2c). It is preferable that the leaf spring or spring-loaded hinge 16 serving as a guide is long as long as it does not come into contact with the mount 1. A backing plate 15 on which a sample chip 10' is pasted on a mount 1
returns along the same trajectory, and the front cover 8 escapes downward (Fig. 2d). Thereafter, the delivery chain 11 moves to feed the mount to the press roll 17 to ensure adhesion. After passing through the press roll 17, the mount to which the sample chips are pasted, ie, the sample paper 20, is placed on the guide 18 of the paper discharge section.

When the sample paper is completely placed on the guide, the guide 18 escapes from side to side and falls onto the sample paper stacking table 19. Korekidai 19
are lowered one after another and the sample papers are automatically stacked. By sequentially performing the steps described above at appropriate timing, sample chips can be automatically pasted.

Note that the drive source and pressure reducer are omitted in the drawings. This device has a paper feed section, a gluing section, a pasting section, and a paper ejection section on a line, and the production of sample books is automated.

In particular, the operation of the pasting section is unique, with the suction head being able to reliably feed the sample chips one by one, and the presser plate improving the pasting position accuracy. By using this device, the work efficiency, which was 500 to 60 per hour for a single worker and subordinate, has increased to 1,200 to 130 per hour, which is an improvement of more than double.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A paper feeding section that feeds the mount to the transport means, a gluing section that applies adhesive to predetermined locations on the mount, a pasting section that affixes sample chips to the locations, and a transport means that transfers the mount with the sample chips pasted to the transport means. The pasting section includes a magazine arranged in order on a vertical line, a stopper, a suction head that can move up and down, and a push plate that can move up and down and horizontally; After transferring the sample chips stored in the magazine to the lower stopper, the push plate moves horizontally onto the stopper, and when the mount stops at a predetermined position, it descends and transfers the sample chips to the stopper. The sample chip pasting device is characterized in that the sample chip is pressed against the adhesive part of the mount and then returned to the original position along the same trajectory, and the mount with the sample chip pasted thereon is then sent to a paper discharge section via a press roll.
