Claims.
This invention relates to delivery mechanisms for printing presses and kindred sheet handling apparatus. y
.In the conventional stieet delivery mechanism sheets are carried from the press or other source to the delivery point by, a chain conveyer equipped with gripper bars. This conveyer travels at press speeds and carries the sheets in endwise spaced relation. As a consequence the sheets travel at considerable velocity as they arrive at the delivery stack or pile which makes it difficult to properly stack the sheets. Also, due to the entrapped.
air between the sheets as they drop down onto the pile, difliculty is often experienced by the grippers colliding with a previously delivered sheet whichhas not as yet settled down onto the pile. I
The present invention overcomes these. deficiencies of past sheet delivery mechanisms through the provision of a novel manner of .delivering the sheets to the pile or stack with practically no air entrapped therebetween and at a rate of speeds considerably less than press speeds.
Tothis end it is an object of this invention to provide a delivery mechanism adapted to take sheets from the press delivery and carry them to the point of final delivery in overlapped relation, and with the overlapped sheets bowed transversely to stiffen the same and substantially entirely avoid air entrapment between sheets.
Another object of this invention is to provide means for adjusting the extent to which the Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 but illustrating a modified embodiment of the invention; and
Figure 4 is a'view diagrammatically illustrating the manner in which air entrapment between the sheets at their point of final delivery is eliminated or substantially minimized by this invention.
Referring now particularly to the accompanying drawings in which like numerals indicate like parts, the numeral 5 designates the platform or other support upon which the delivered sheets The discharge conveyer I0 is of conventional l design and comprises an ordinary chain conveyer sheets are bowed during their initial delivery whereby the desired stiffening of the sheets as they are projected from the delivery conveyer may be had regardless of the weight of the sheets being handled.
With-the above and other objects in view which.
will appear as the description'proceeds, this invent1onres1des in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantiallyas hereinafter described and more particularly defined by the appended claims, it.being understood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the herein disclosed invention may be made as come within the scope of the claims.
The accompanying drawings illustrate two complete examples of the physical embodiments of the invention constructed according to the best modes so far devised for the practical application of the principles thereof, and in which:
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a delivery mechanism embodying this invention;
Figure 2 is an end view thereof takenon the plane of .the line 2-4, in Figure 1;
6 are stacked or piled. 'A suitably mounted guide 1 provides a stop against which the sheets are drawn by a driven friction roll 8 which may be raised and lowered in timed relation with the advance of the sheets to the pile.
Sheets are fed to the pile by a tape conveyer indicated generally by the numeral 9, which receives the sheets from a discharge conveyer I0.
with gripper bars H' adapted to take the sheets from the press or other ource and carry them in endwise spaced relation in a position over the receiving end portion of the tape conveyer 9.
The discharge conveyer travels. at press speeds whereas the tape conveyer 9 has a slower speed. Hence, it is possible to load the sheets onto the tape conveyer in overlapped relation so that the sheets on the tape conveyer are stream fed.
At the point of transfer of the sheets from the fast moving conveyer ID to the slow moving tape conveyer 9 an air wheel l2 or its equivalent grips the trailing end of each sheet and holds it above the tape conveyer until the grippers open whereupon the air wheel descends .to deposit the sheet onto the tape conveyer. In this manner the sheets are properly controlled and properly positi'oned on the tape conveyer for stream feeding.
The tape conveyer comprises a roll 13 at its receiving end which is straight throughoutits entire length and which extends across thefull width of the conveyer, and a pair of complementary rolls I4 arranged end to end at the delivery end of the tape conveyer.
These rolls l4 are mounted in brackets Hi the adjacent ends of which are hingedly supported as at l6 from a supporting frame 11. Hence,
the rolls l4 may be swung vertically to raise and lower their outer ends and give the tape conveyer a trough-like formation of gradually increasing depth from its receiving end to its delivery end, the tapes 18 being divided into two sets, one
trained over each of the rolls l4.
provided as illustrated in Figure 3.
The brackets l5 are adjustably supported by racks l9 meshing with pinions 2|! on a cross shaft 2|. Hence, by turning the cross shaft 2| the angle of the V formed by the rolls H is conveniently and quickly adjusted. By virtue of the trough or V-shaped formation of the .tape conveyer the sheets thereon are bowed transversely and materially stiffened at their point of discharge from the tape conveyer. Consequently, as the sheets are projected from. the
'end of thetape conveyer they are sufilciently stiif to preclude dragging the top sheets across the surface of the lower sheets, thereby facilitating the disposition of the sheets over the top of the pile.
Moreover by virtue of the transversely bowed relationship the amount of air entrapped between the sheets is materially reduced and such air as is entrapped is quickly and easily expelled at the sides of the sheets as graphicallyillustrated in Figure 4, thereby quickly allowing the sheets to settle down onto the stack or pile.
If desired, a final delivery conveyer 22 may be This conveyer may be of the conventional chain type equipped with gripper bars 23 spaced, however, to correspond to the spacing of the overlapped sheets on the tape conveyer and arranged to grip the sheets and carry them in overlapped and bowed relation to the point of final disposition over the stack or pile. At this time the grippers are opened by a cam 24 in the usual way to drop the sheet directly onto the pile. It is, of course, understood that the opening of the grippers by a cam 25 in the customary manner to have them take a sheet is properly timed with the presentation of the sheets by the tape conveyer.
In' order to maintain proper relationshi between the grippers 23 and the leading edges of the sheets as they are advanced off the tape conveyer the sprockets 26 over which the receiving end of the conveyer'22 travels aresupported as by arms 21 from the outer free ends of the brackets I5.
Thus, any adjustment of these brackets l5 effects concurrent raising and lowering of the receiving end of the conveyer 22.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention provides a sheet delivery mechanism which enables stream feeding of the sheets to their point of final delivery and thereby insures more accurate control of'the sheets as they are fed to the delivery pile or stack.
