Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sheet or signature handling apparatus and more particularly to an apparatus for changing the direction of the path of movement of a sheet or signature.
  • a conventional signature collator consists of a series of horizontally aligned hoppers for holding similarly printed signatures or groups of signatures and a conveyor means moving in a horizontal plane beneath the hoppers.
  • the conveyor usually has a series of spaced apart fingers each of which engages the rear edge of a signature so that the space between fingers constitutes a moving pocket to receive a signature from each hopper.
  • Each hopper has a feed means co-ordinated with the conveyor so that a signature from each hopper is deposited into each conveyor pocket as it passes beneath the hoppers.
  • the conveyor may be of the saddle type or the flat gather type.
  • the signatures are opened into an inverted V shape and deposited onto the conveyor so that the leaves of the signature hang down on each side of the conveyor and the fold line is retained on the conveyor.
  • Each Succeeding signature is telescopically deposited onto the previously gathered signatures.
  • the signatures are fed into an inclined horizontally extending trough.
  • the trough usually has a slotted area to permit the passage of the conveyor fingers.
  • the assembled signatures are stacked one on top of the other and are then fed to an appropriate binding apparatus. It is to the flat gather type of apparatus that the present invention is primarily directed. It is to be understood, however, that it can be adapted to other uses.
  • the signatures are fed into the conveyor trough in a path which extends at right angles to the trough.
  • Such an arrangement requires that each signature must come to a stop in the trough and then be impelled in a path at right angles to its original path by the conveyor fingers.
  • the impact of the finger contacting its rear edge crurnples the signature resulting in an unevenly stacked and damaged group of signatures.
  • the signature is fed into the trough at high speed the signature will be crumpled in a plane approximately parallel to its folded edge.
  • Applicants invention eliminates all of these difiiculties by engaging each signature as it is being fed toward the conveyor, imparting the speed and direction of the conveyor to such engaged signature and releasing the signature in front of a conveyor finger while it is traveling at approximately the same speed as the finger.
  • Another object is to provide a novel signature feeding apparatus whereby signatures are deposited in a conveyor when the signature and the conveyor have the same direction and speed.
  • Another object is to provide a novel apparatus for engaging a signature being fed in a first direction, changing the direction of feed to a second direction which coincides with the path of movement of a receiving conveyor and then releasing the signature.
  • Another object is to provide a novel signature feeding apparatus which quickly and efficiently engages a fed signature and aligns its speed and direction to coincide with the speed and direction of movement of the conveyor.
  • Another object is to provide an apparatus to transfer signatures to a signature receiving conveyor whereby the signature is accelerated to substantially the same speed and direction of the conveyor before being deposited therein.
  • Another object is to provide a novel signature transfer mechanism having an improved receiving conveyor operable at a much faster speed than heretofore possible.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide means for rapidly and efficiently successively transferring an endless series of signatures to a receiving means while preventing interference between successively fed signatures.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of the novel signature direction changing mechanism
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view, omitting the conveyor mechanism
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the signature direction changing mechanism taken along line 33 of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view, partly in section, of the driving mechanism for the signature direction changer, taken along the line 4-4 of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the vacuum control valve which regulates the vacuum in the suckers for engaging a signature, taken along line 5-5 of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 6 is an elevational, cross-sectional view of the vacuum operated signature engaging means, taken along line 6-6 of FIG. 2, and showing the signature engaging means in a non-operative position;
  • FIG. 6a is a view the same as shown in FIG. 6, except the parts of the signature engaging means are shown in initial signature engaging position.
  • a signature transfer means 10 composed of a plurality of parallel and spaced apart circular discs 11 secured for rotation on a horizontally extending shaft 12.
  • Shaft 12 is rotatably mounted between frame members 13 and 14' by means of suitable bearings in said frame member.
  • the signature transfer means 10 is operatively associated with any conventional signature feeding means (not shown) whereby individual signatures are sequentially fed to the transfer means and from the transfer means to the forwarding mechanism comprising the present invention.
  • Each signature is temporarily secured to discs 11 by any number of pairs of signature gripping means 15.
  • the signature gripping means 15 are of any conventional type whereby the folded edge of each sequentially fed signature is engaged during a partial revolution of the discs 11 and arranged to selectively release the folded edge of each signature at a predetermined position along the circumferential path of the circular discs 11 so that each signature is fed onto a receiving plate 30.
  • four pairs of grippers 15 are used, each pair being positioned from the adjacent pair, so that four signatures are fed onto plate 30 for one complete revolution of the discs 11.
  • the signature receiving plate 30 is positioned between the frame members 13, 14 by means of a bracket 38 which in turn is secured to the frame supporting a conveyor 90.
  • the plate 30 is mounted at an angle to a horizontal plane and its upper surface is tangent to the circumference of the discs 11.
  • the end of plate 30 which is adjacent the discs 11 has a beveled surface 31 for facilitating the transfer of signatures from said discs 11 to said plate.
  • This same end of the plate 30 also has inwardly extending slotted areas 32' to permit the free passage of the signature gripping means 15 upon rotation of the discs 11.
  • a pair of conveyor belts 32 are mounted to plate 30.
  • the upper reaches of the conveyor belts 32 extend through suitable openings in plate and are positioned slightly above and parallel to the upper plane surface of the plate to insure contact with signatures passing over the plate.
  • the conveyor belts 32 extend between pulleys 33 mounted on an idler shaft 34 and pulleys 35 mounted on a drive shaft 36.
  • a conventional take-up pulley 37 adjusts the tension of each of the conveyor belts 32.
  • a roller 40 is mounted to an arm 41 pivotally mounted to a support 42 positioned above each of the belts 32 for free rotation with the belts 32.
  • Each of rollers 40 preferably is retained in contact with its respective belt 32 by means of gravity but if desired it can be spring-loaded to increase the pressure applied thereby.
  • Each roller 40 is adjustably positioned to accommodate a variety of sheet lengths whereby the rear of each fed signature leaves the bite of rollers 40 and belt 32 at the moment that a signature direction changing mechanism (to be hereinafter described) engages the signature. It can thus be seen that by means of the belts 32 and the rollers 40 a signature fed onto the plate 30 will be driven forward under control of the belts 32 and the rollers 40.
  • the shaft 36, and consequently belts 32, are driven through a series of pulleys and belts from the shaft 43 which drives the means (not shown) for feeding signatures to the discsll.
  • the signature direction changing mechanism 46 comprises a stationary mounting arm 47, a rotating arm 48, and a revolving forwarder bracket 49 positioned at each end of the arm 48.
  • the stationary mounting arm 47 has at one end a shaft housing 50 and a base plate 51 which is adjustably secured by means of a conventional slot and bolt arrangement to the top plate of a gear box 52.
  • a shaft 53 is vertically mounted in the gear box 52 and extends through the shaft housing 50.
  • a sprocket 54 is keyed to the upper end of shaft 53 and a gear 55 is keyed to the shaft 53 within the gear box 52.
  • a worm gear 56 which meshes with gear 55 is mounted on a shaft 57 which has its ends mounted in suitable bearings. Shaft 57 is driven from shaft 12 which also drives the discs 11.
  • a second shaft housing 58 is positioned at the opposite end of the stationary arm 47 and has a shaft 59 rotatably mounted therein.
  • the lower end of shaft 59 is secured to the rotating arm 48 and a sprocket 60 is secured to the upper end of said shaft.
  • a chain 61 operatively connects sprockets 54 and 60.
  • a thrust washer 62 is keyed to shaft 59 adjacent the top surface of the shaft housing 58.
  • a spring 63 is telescopically mounted over shaft 59 between the sprocket 60 and the thrust washer 62 and serves to retain the arm 48 in sliding rotational engagement with a vacuum valve 81 secured to the bottom surface of the housing 58.
  • a shaft housing 64 is positioned at each end of the arm 48.
  • Each of the housings 64 rotatably receives a shaft 65.
  • One end of a revolving forwarding bracket 49 is secured to the lower end of each shaft 65 and a sprocket 66 is secured to the upper end of each shaft 65.
  • a pair of sprockets 67 are secured to the shaft housing 58 in a vertically spaced apart and stationary position as shown in FIG. 3.
  • Chains 68 operatively connect each of the sprockets 67 with its corresponding sprocket 66 sothat upon rotation of the arm 48 in a clockwise direction as shown in FIG. 2 each of the forwarder brackets 49 will be rotated in a counterclockwise direction about its housing 64.
  • each of the forwarder brackets 49 there is positioned a pair of vacuum operated signature engaging means 70, 71.
  • Each of the vacuum signature engaging means 70, 71 comprises a cylinder 72, a piston 73, a piston rod 74 and a sucker 75 secured to the outer end of the piston rod 74.
  • a spring 76 is telescopically mounted over the piston rod 74 between the piston 73 and the lower end of cylinder 72. Spring 76 normally retains the piston 73 upwardly against the top end of the cylinder 72.
  • a passage 77 in piston 73 connects the space above the piston with the vacuum duct 78 within the rod 74.
  • Vacuum is supplied to the suckers 75 by means of a duct 78 which extends through the piston rod 74, through the bracket 49 and through the arm 48 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • a vacuum duct 79 formed within housing 58 is connected to a pipe 80 which in turn is connected to a source of vacuum (not shown).
  • a vacuum valve 81 made of graphite or other self-lubricating material is secured to the lower end of the housing 58.
  • An arcuately shaped chamber 82 is formed in the valve 81 and is held in stationary alignment with the end of vacuum duct 79 by means of a pin 83.
  • a vent 84 provides an opening to the atmosphere.
  • the duct 78 Upon rotation of the arm 48 the duct 78 will periodically be in alignment with the chamber 82 for an arcuate movement of approximately 70 at which time the source of vacuum will be connected to the suckers 75 at one end of the arm 48 and its bracket 49.
  • the shaft 65 adjacent the interconnection of the duct 78 Within the shaft 65 and the duct 78 within the arm 48 is chambered at 85 to permit a continuous interconnection between the ducts Within the shaft 65 and the duct within the arm 48 regardless of the rotational movement of the shaft. As shown in FIG. 6 when no vacuum is supplied to the suckers 75 they are retained by means of spring 76 in their upward position.
  • circle represents the path of movement, in a clockwise direction, of the shafts 65 in the ends of arm 48 upon the rotation of arm 48. Any point on arm 49 will move in a path similar to path 100 but about a new center.
  • circle 101 represents the path of movement, in a clockwise direction, of the center of sucker 75 on each of the vacuum signature engaging means 70.
  • Circle 102 represents the path of movement, in a clockwise direction, of the center of sucker 75 on each of the vacuum signature engaging means 71.
  • the velocity of shafts 65 in path 100 is such that the velocity of suckers 75 in paths 101 and 102 is the same as the velocity of a signature being fed along plate 30.
  • the axis of arm 48 is in substantially longitudinal alignment with the axis of one of the arms 49 and the path of movement of each of the suckers 75 thereon is approximately tangent to the path of movement of a fed sheet.
  • the vacuum valve 81 is positioned on housing 58 in such a manner that vacuum is supplied to the suckers at approximately the time that the path of suckers 75 and the path of the. fed sheet are tangent as described above.
  • the discharge point is shown as being 90, in the path of movement of the suckers, from the point of sheet engagement because the longitudinal axis of conveyor 90 is disclosed as being 90 from the longitudinal axis of the sheet feed plate 30.
  • the vacuum duct 78 is positioned in alignment with the vent 84 of the valve 81 so that the signature is released from the suckers 75. It is to be understood, however, that the point of discharge may vary depending upon the location of the signature receiving means in relation to the sheet feed means.
  • a gathering conveyor 90 comprises an end wall 91 and an adjacent horizontal bottom plate 92 and an inclined bottom plate 93 spaced from bottom plate 92 a sufiic-ient distance to permit the passage of fingers 94 secured to chain 95 of conveyor 90.
  • End wall 91 and bottom plates 92, 93 extend horizontally at approximately 90 from the signature transfer means.
  • Conveyor chain 95 is driven by a sprocket 96 and shaft 97.
  • Shaft 97 is in turn driven from shafts 43 and 36 by means of conventional belt and pulley mechanisms. Due to the fact that each signature is moving at approximately the same speed and in the same direction as the conveyor when it is deposited into the conveyor, the distance between the fingers 94 on the conveyor is reduced to practically the width of the signature travelling in its new direction.
  • the method of handling sheets mechanically which comprises the steps of laterally conveying a sheet edgewise in a first direction at a predetermined speed in the plane of the broad surface of the sheet, engaging the sheet with gripper means while the sheet is moving in said first direction at said speed and, without changing the orientation of said sheet, conveying the same in an arcuate path in said plane, thereby progressively decreasing the speed of the sheet in said first direction and progressively increasing the speed thereof in a second direction perpendicular to said first direction, and releasing said sheet at a predetermined position along said arcuate path.
