Definitions

  • ABSTRACT This invention comprehends apparatus for attaching self-adhesive, perforated edging strips to unperforated sheet material which is moved on a horizontal conveyor, more particularly drawing copy masters, with a storage and supply device for the edging strips which are serially and se1f-adhesive1y attached on a support strip in the manner of a belt and are detached therefrom, relative to probes which respond to the feed of the sheet material and of the edging strips, on a separating edge which deflects the said support strip, the edging strips being moved into astand-by position in which they are retained on a perforated plate by means of suction air, characterized in that the edging strips are supplied perpendicularly to the conveying direction of the sheet material, and the plate is disposed below the conveyor for the sheet material in such a way that its surface rises towards the conveyor in the conveying direction.
  • the invention relates to apparatus for attaching self adhesive, perforated edging strips to unperforated sheet material which is moved on a horizontal conveyor, more particularly drawing copy masters, with a storage and supply device for the edging strips which are serially and selfadhesively attached on a support strip in the manner of a belt and are detached therefrom, relative to probes which respond to the feed of the sheet material and of the edging strips, on a separating edge which deflects the said support strip, the edging strips being moved into a standby position in which they are retained on a perforated plate by means of suction air.
  • a device of this kind is known for the attachment of self-adhesive labels to objects which are supplied successively and in which the conveyor belt which conveys the objects moves in the direction of the belt which supports the labels and the objects are moved under the label which is held in readiness whereupon the said label is pressed into position or blown into position.
  • Direct utilization of known labelling apparatus is not possible because the drawing copy masters have a large surface area and are therefore not readily handled and because the edging strips also have a relatively large surface area but precise attachment of the edging strips to the sheet material without crinkling must be ensured.
  • the invention solves the problem in that the edging strips are supplied perpendicularly to the conveying di rection of the sheet material and the plate below the conveyor for the sheet material is arranged so that its surface rises towards the conveyor in the conveying direction.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly advantageous in the attachment of a folded edging strip; in this case a righting tongue is disposed between the separating edge and the plate to set the folded section of the edging strip relative to its main section at an angle while forming a hollow fillet which extends into the conveying path of the sheet material.
  • the sheet material travels into the hollow fillet and entrains the edging strip which is again neatly joined to the sheet material owing to the angular position of the plate.
  • the system may be arranged so that a first probe traces the removal of a sheet on which adhesive fixing has been completed and a second probe which traces each rotation of a length measuring roller which engages by means of pins into perforations of the edging strip belt or traces the perforations directly.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic side view of apparatus according to the invention for delivering perforated edging strips, of an edging strip belt with an endless edging strip series and with length measuring means adapted to trace perforations in the edging strip belt;
  • FIG. 2 is a section through the apparatus of FIG. 1 to an enlarged scale along the line IIII;
  • FIG. 3 is a section of the apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 2 as seen along the line A-A of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a section of an edging strip belt processing within the device of FIGS. 1 to 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a section through a line V-V of FIG. 4 to an enlarged scale
  • FIG. 6 is an embodiment of a device modified with respect to that of FIG. I for delivering perforated edging strips and whose length measuring device is adapted to trace a length measuring roller;
  • FIG. 7 is a section to an enlarged scale along the line VIIVII of FIG. 6;
  • FIG. 8 is a section to an enlarged scale of an edging strip belt which can be processed in the device of FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • FIG. 1 of the drawing for the delivery of edging strips which are to be attached to the edge of sheet material, for example drawing copy masters, is provided with a continuous frame 20 functioning as a supporting element on which a supply reel 21 for accommodating an edging strip belt 1 is rotat ably supported.
  • a section of the edging strip belt 1 is shown to an enlarged scale in FIG. 4 of the drawing.
  • the individual edging strips in this case take the form of an endless edging strip series 2a which are attached to a support strip 11.
  • the edging strip series 2a may be constructed of paper, transparent film or the like and is subdivided transversely to its longitudinal orientation into an inner section 4, one side of which is coated with an adhesive trace 5, and into an outer section 7 which is provided at predefined distances with perforations 9 and a back fold 8 through which the perforations 9 also extend.
  • the sheet material, which is provided with the edging strip is completely inserted into the slit which is formed below the back fold 8 and is located by the adhesive trace 5.
  • the support strip 11 of the edging strip belt 1 may be constructed of paper or of a plastics film and is prepared on its side which is opposed to that of the adhesive trace 5 so that it can be relatively easily pulled off. All perforations which extend through the edging strip series 20 also extend through the support strip 11. This includes the separating position perforations 13 which are disposed precisely at the joints between two adhesive strips which are to be later separated in the device,
  • the sheet material 16a which is to be provided with the individual edging strips 2 ⁇ ; passes through the device in the sectional view of FIG. 2 from right to left in the arrow direction while bearing upon a sheet support 47.
  • the sheet material 16b to which an edging strip 2b has already been adhesively affixed traverses past a first probe 32 with a microswitch 33 associated with a length measuring and control device.
  • This device includes a second probe 34 with a microswitch 35 which is disposed downstream of a reversing pulley 22 in the conveying direction of the edging strip belt 1 according to FIG. 1, the said edging strip belt 1 passing around the said roller as the first guiding element after leaving its supply reel 21.
  • the edging strip belt 1 is driven by an electric motor which may also be provided with a gearbox and is disposed within the driving device 23 and is coupled with a driving pulley 24 which drives the entire edging strip belt 1 over the support strip 11 which has already been detached.
  • the support strip 11 is pressed by means of a prestressed tensioning roller 25 against the circumference of the driving roller 24 in order to transmit the necessary frictional torque.
  • a rounded detachment edge 40 is disposed between the second probe 34 and the driving pulley 24, the support strip 11 being pulled around the said edge with a relatively small curvature radius while the relatively stiff edging strip series 2a which adheres to the support strip continues to be conveyed substantially rectilinearly in its previous conveying direction and after being separated from the support strip 11 moves into the gap of a separating device which comprises a support surface 43 and a separating knife 42 which can be actuated by an electromagnet 44.
  • the microswitch 35 will be operated and ensures that the driving pulley 24 stops suddenly while at the same time or after a short delay the electromagnet 44 energizes and its cutting knife 42 cuts an individual edging strip 2b in the zone of the separating position perforation 13, the said edging strip having been previously pushed through.
  • the leading end of the detached edging strip 2b was already disposed near a fixing plate 49 prior to the cutting operation, the said fixing plate forming an inclined indentation relative to the horizontal sheet support 47 and being provided with apertures 50 which are connected via a suction air shaft 51 to a suction blower 52.
  • the constantly operating suction air blower 52 applies pull to the detached edging strip 2b and retains it in the slightly inclined position illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the back fold 8 has previously been righted at a predefined angle in accordance with FIG. 3 by means of a knife edge righting tongue 38 which is disposed near the detaching edge 40.
  • the next sheet 16a which is to be provided with adhesive fixing means, is completely inserted into the hollow fillet formed under the back fold 8 of the edging strip and the connection to the sheet material 16a is obtained by applying manual pressure or by a suitable pressure ram.
  • the sheet material 16b which has then been provided with an edging strip 2b is subsequently delivered to the left from the device as shown in FIG. 2, and on leaving the first probe 32 it triggers the feed of the next edging strip 2b in the manner described hereinbefore.
  • the detached support strip slides into a guide chute 26, is conveyed forward in the gap between a feed roller 28 with a slip clutch and a pressure roller 29 through a second guide chute 30, and finally leaves the device via a curved delivery (see FIG. 1).
  • the driving torque in the gap between the rollers 28 and 29 must be smaller than the torque between the driving pulley 24 and the tensioning pulley 25.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 of the drawing show in schematic form a further embodiment of a device according to the invention for delivering edging strips.
  • This embodiment is intended particularly for processing adhesive strip belts 10 on whose supporting strip 12 separate edging strips 2b are already attached in a serial disposition.
  • the device according to FIGS. 6 and 7 also incorporates a cutting device with a cutting knife 42 and an electromagnet 44 in the same way as the previously described embodiment but which are not required for the preseparated edging strip 2b.
  • the edging strip belt 10 illustrated in FIG. 8 of the drawing is provided in the middle between the inner section 4 and the outer section 7 with a row of uniformly distributed central perforations 14 which extend through the edging strips 2b as well as through the support strip 12.
  • the distances between the said central perforations 14 are selected so that a specific number of such distances corresponds accurately to one length L of edging strip; in the present embodiment, the distance between two successive central perforations l4 amounts to one sixth of the edging strip length L.
  • FIG. 7 discloses that the first probe 32 traces the sheet material 16b which is completely provided with edging strips in the same way as in the first embodiment.
  • the second probe 34 with its microswitch 35 in this embodiment traces a cam .of a driving and length measuring roller 56 which is driven by the previously described driving device 23 and provides for the feed of the edging strip belt 10.
  • the circumference of the driving and length measuring roller 56 is provided with six pins 57 whose spacing on the circumference of the said driving and length measuring roller 56 corresponds precisely to the distance between the central perforations 14 on the edging strip belt 10.
  • the driving and length measuring roller 56 performs one rotation after which it is switched offf again by the second probe 34 and is temporarily decelerated.
  • the supporting strip 12 which passes around the driving and length measuring roller 56 will have been advanced by six central perforations 14 so that an individual edging strip 2b will become detached against the detachment edge 40 to be taken up in the manner already described by the fixing plate 49 of the fixing device to be retained thereby in order to be joined to the sheet material 16a in the manner described hereinbefore.
  • the second probe 34 will also operate the electromagnet 44 of the cutting device in the manner already described hereinbefore.
  • the apparatus according to the invention may be employed in conjunction with a machine for folding drawing copy masters or the like and may be incorporated into the operating cycle of such a machine without the need for additional control means.
  • Apparatus for attaching self-adhesive, perforated edging strips to unperforated sheet material such as drawing copy masters comprising substantially horizontal conveying means on which said sheet material moves in a given direction, a storage and supply device for the edging strips which are serially and selfadhesively attached on a support strip in the manner of a belt, means for feeding said edging strips and said support strip over a predetermined path from said storage and supply device substantially to a point of substantially transverse intersection with said conveying means, means for controlling the operation of said feeding means including probes respectively disposed adjacent said conveying means and along said feed path which respond to the feed of the sheet material and of the edging strips, a separating edge adjacent said feed path and over which the feed of said strip is substantially reversed to deflect said support strip, the edging strips continuing in the initial feed separated from said support strips, a stationary inclined perforated plate located opposite the feed means such that the conveying means for the sheet material passes said sheet material between the feed means and said plate and on
  • the edging strips each have a main section and a folded section and further comprising a righting tongue disposed laterally between the separating edge and the plate for engagement with a folded edging strip beneath the folded section, said tongue setting the folded section of the edging strip at an angle relative to the main section of said strip while forming a hollow fillet which extends into the conveying path of the sheet material when the strip is received on the plate 3.
  • Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said support strip has perforations therein and a first probe traces the removal of a sheet with completed adhesive fixing, and further comprising a length measuring roller adjacent said path and having outwardly extending pins thereon engaging with perforations in said strip, a second probe tracing each rotation of said length measuring roller.
