Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to an apparatus for conveying copies from a printing machine, folding apparatus and the like to a collection point and, more particularly, it is concerned with an arrangement for selectively removing certain copies from the normal path of travel to the collection point.
  • Switches which engage, for example, folding cylinders, and strip off the copies to be removed.
  • these copies are travelling at the full speed of the operation, they tend to fly off the cylinder in an uncontrolled manner with the result that this known device does not adequately serve the intended purpose.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a device for removing copies from their normal path of travel which overconies the disadvantages and problems experienced in similar devices in the past.
  • At least one conveyor means made up of an arrangement of conveyor belts, is positioned in the path of blades carrying copies on a delivery wheel so that copies not removed from the delivery wheel by a pivotally arranged deflector are received by the conveyor means for delivery to a collection point.
  • FIG. I is an elevational view of a copy conveying apparatus embodying the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial view of a folding apparatus with which the present invention can be employed.
  • An arm 5a pivotally supports the deflector 5 so that it can be pivoted between its first and second positions.
  • a linkage arm 12 Secured to the deflector at a point spaced from its point of pivotal connection to the arm 5a is a linkage arm 12 which extends longitudinally from the deflector with its other end connected to a power source 8. By means of the power source 8, the linkage arm 12 can be moved in its longitudinal direction for pivoting the deflector 5 between its first and second positions.
  • the delivery wheel 3 is supported on a shaft 16 and a disc 10 is mounted on the shaft alongside the delivery wheel.
  • Cams 9 are positioned on the periphery of the disc 10 in approximately the same angular relationship as the blades 4 on the delivery wheel.
  • a signal is transmitted to the power source 8 at the moment that one of the cams 9 contacts the switch 11 so that the power source 8 is activated and the linkage arm 12 is displaced longitudinally for moving the deflector 5 into its second position designated by the reference character 5'.
  • the cams are synchronized with the blades so that deflector 5 is pivoted into it second position as a copy is about to contact the deflector for displacement onto the delivery chute.
  • the deflector is pivoted upwardly, as shown in FIG.
  • the copy instead of being removed by the deflector, remains on the blade and continues in its rotational path of movement about the shaft 16 until the copy is engaged between a pair of conveyor belts 13 and 14, which remove the copy and convey it into a collection cage 15.
  • another conveyor belt can be used for receiving the removed copy and conveying it to a desired collection or discharge point.
  • Apparatus for conveying copies from a printingmachine, folding apparatus and .the like comprising:
  • a copy-removing device including a deflector pivotally displaceable relative to said blades between a first position for removing copies from said blade and a second position pivotally displaced from the copy-removing position, a power source, a longitudinally extending linkage arm connected to said power source and movable in its longitudinal direction, said deflector attached to said linkage arm at a position spaced from said power source, a support arm, said deflector pivotally attached to said support arm for pivotal displacement between its first and second positions;
  • means for selectively displacing said copy-removing device including a scanning device for checking copies being conveyed by the apparatus, a switch connected to said scanning device and positioned adjacent said delivery wheel, a shaft for rotatably supporting said delivery wheel, a disk mounted on said shaft for rotation with said delivery wheel, cams formed on the periphery of said disk in the same angular spacing as said blades on said delivery wheel, said cams arranged to contact said switch as said'shaft rotates, and said switch being connected to said power source for longitudinally displacing said linkage arm and pivoting said deflector between its first and second positions; and
  • Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said device for removing copies from said blades comprises a pair of conveyor belts arranged downstream in the path of movement of said blades from the first position of said deflector.
  • Apparatus according to claim 1 including a delivery cage positioned adjacent the end of said pair of conveyor belts and spaced from said blades for collecting the copies removed from said blades by said conveyor belts.
