Definitions

  • a portion of this pile is first assembled within a time not shorter than the time for unloading that pile. so that the time for assembling the remaining portion of the larger pile should be in excess of the pile unloading time, whereafter a smaller pile is then assembled, and then the remaining portion of the greater pile is assembled simultaneously with unloading of the assembled smaller pile from the respective bin.
  • the method provides for assembling smaller piles containing any amount of newspapers, even a pile of one newspaper.
  • the present invention relates to methods of assembling piles of newspapers delivered in a continuous stream, and, more particularly, to methods of assembling piles of newspapers continuously delivered by a rotary press.
  • the present invention may be employed to the utmost effectiveness in automatic production lines effecting both the printing of newspapers, and their subsequent treatment and handling, including such operations as assembling piles of the newspapers, the packag' ing of these piles, and their subsequent transportation.
  • the piles may be assembled, with the minimum possible amount of newspapers being limited, and which depends on the printing speed. This is explained by that fact that otherwise it would be impossible to unload the greater pile within the allotted time when the smaller pile is being assembled.
  • a greater pile including 50 newspapers is assembled in 2.25 seconds, and can be unloaded from the bin in L second, while the smaller pile including 25 to 27 newspapers is assembled within 1.1 seconds, with the unloading time being the same.
  • Said amount of newspapers in the smaller pile is determined by the consideration that if the smaller pile includes, for example, twenty newspapers, its assembling time would be only 0.9 seconds.
  • a method of assembling piles of newspapers wherein the stream of newspapers is alternatingly directed into bins for as sembling therein a greater pile, and a smaller pile, respectively, with the piles being subsequently unloaded from the bins within a specified period related to a given printing speed, and in which method, in accordance with the present invention, as said greater pile is being assembled, a portion of this pile is first assembled within a period not shorter than the pile unloading time, so that the time of the assembling of the remaining portion of this greater pile is in excess of said pile unloading time, where after the smaller pile is assembled, while said remaining portion of the greater pile is assembled, with simultaneous unloading of the smaller pile from the respective bin, a smaller pile is assembled in each said bin after the assembling therein of a greater pile.
  • the proposed method makes it possible to assemble smaller piles containing any amount of newspapers, with at least one newspaper, since, due to the interruption of the process of assembling of the greater pile, and since the time of assembling of the first portion of this pile is in excess of the pile unloading time, it becomes possible to unload the previously assembled greater pile during this time of assembling said first portion.
  • the pile unloading time equals 1.0 second
  • the first portion of the greater pile is assembled in l.l seconds, which time is quite sufficient for unloading the previously assembled greater pile.
  • the proposed method may be employed at any printing speed, and with the printing process being a continuous one.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an apparatus for effecting the proposed method of assembling piles of newspapers
  • FIG. 2 shows the apparatus of FIG. 1 illustrating the assembling of the smaller pile, with the operation of assembling the greater pile having been interrupted;
  • FIG. 3 shows the apparatus of FIG. 1, illustrating the assembling of the remaining portion of the greater pile, with simultaneous unloading of the smaller pile;
  • FIG. 4 illustrates graphically the timing of the interruption of the operation of assembling the greater pile.
  • the herein disclosed method of assembling piles of newspapers essentially resides in that, as the greater pile of newspapers is being assembled, a portion of their pile is first assembled during the time of which is not shorter than the pile unloading time, so that the time of assembling the remaining portion of this greater pile should be also in excess of the pile unloading time spective bin, and a smaller pile being assembled in eachbin after the greater pile has been assembled therein.
  • a folder drum 1 (FIG. I) of a rotary press continuously delivers a stream of newspapers 2 directed by a deflector 3, and a spider drum 4into a bin 5 for assembling therein a greater pile.
  • assembled in the bin 5 is a portion a of the greater pile, and 'then the deflector 3 is switched for directing the stream of newspapers 2 into another bin 6 (FIG. 2) for assembling therein the smaller pile.
  • the stream of newspapers 2 is again directed into the bin 5 to be assembled ther'ein within a time in excess of the time for unloading the pile from either of the bins, the remaining portion of the greater pile 8, and to effect the simultaneous unloading of the smaller pile from the bin 6 in a direction shown by arrow A.
  • Unloading of the piles may be effected by any suitable means, e.g. by means of a conveyor.
  • r is the time for assembling the portion a of this greater pile, also in seconds;
  • EXAMPLE The task is to assemble a greater pile containing 50 newspapers, and a smaller pile containing l0 newspapers. With the printing speed equalling 40,000 revolutions per hour for the printing cylinders, the greater pile is assembled in 2.25 seconds, and the smaller pile is assembled in 0.45 seconds, with the time for unloading a pile from either bin being 1.0 second.
  • the operation of assembling the greater pile containing 50 newspapers is commenced. After a portion of this pile has been assembled in 1.1 second, the assembling operation is interrupted. Then, the operation of assembling the smaller pile containing l0 newspapers is begun, and completed, which takes only 0.45 seconds. After the smaller pile has been assembled, the remaining portion of the greater pile is assembled within a time equalling 2.25 seconds minus l.l second, i.e. in l.l5 second. During the course of this period of 1.15 second, the smallerpile is unloaded from the respective bin, which operation takes, as it has been stated, only 1.0 second. During the remaining 0.15 second (1.15 sec. minus 1.0 sec. makes 0.15 sec.), i.e.
  • the bin from which the smaller pile has been unloaded is ready to receive therein a stream of newspapers.
  • the newspapers are directed into this empty bin, wherein the operation of assembling the next greater pile containing 50 newspapers is commenced, while the already assembled greater pile is unloaded from the respective bin in l.0 second.
  • this last-mentioned pile is unloaded before the operation of assembling the successive greater pile, with its interruption being effected after 1.1 seconds from the moment of commencing the assembling.
  • the stream of newspapers is directed into the bin from which the greater pile has been unloaded so to assemble therein the successive smaller pile containing 10 newspapers. Thereafter the described cycle is repeated.
  • the herein disclosed method makes it possible to assemble smaller piles containing any amount of newspapers, at any printing speed.
  • a method of assembling piles of newspapers being continuously delivered by a rotary press comprising the operation of: directing the stream of newspapers into a first bin for assembling therein a greater pile of newspapers; assembling in said first bin a portion of said greater pile within a time not shorter than the time of unloading a pile from said bin; interrupting the process of assembling said greater pile in said first bin; directing said stream of newspapers into a second bin for assembling therein a smaller pile of newspapers, redirecting said stream of newspapers after said smaller pile has been assembled into said first bin, and assembling therein the remaining portion of the greater pile of which the assembling has been interrupted, and within a time in excess of said pile unloading time; unloading said smaller pile from said second bin during the period of the assembling of said remaining portion of said greater pile in said first bin; re-directing said stream of newspapers into said second bin for assembling therein the first portion of a greater pile; unloading said first-mentioned greater pile from said first bin, and repeating the a
