Definitions

  • magazines are assembled on gathering machines comprising a plurality of gatherer pockets containing different sets of signatures, spaced above a moving conveyor chain. On each cycle of the gathering machine, a signature is fed from each pocket in turn to make up an issue of the complete magazine on the underlying conveyor.
  • a labeling machine may be positioned downstream to apply preprinted subscriber name and address labels to the magazines.
  • the present invention provides a method and apparatus for producing differently constituted magazines tailored to the characteristics of particular subscriber groups within the total magazine subscription, which is intended to avoid problems of the type previously discussed.
  • the invention provides for the continuous production of differently constituted magazines for different groups of subscribers classified into different groups in accordance with predetermined criteria utilizing known subscriber information, without requiring repeated shutting down of the equipment.
  • a gathering machine having different sets of signatures located in different pockets of the machine.
  • the gathering machine is of a type in which each cycle of operation of the gathering machine causes successive feeding of signatures from at least some of the pockets to make up each magazine and in which each pocket may be individually instructed to feed or not feed during each gathering machine cycle.
  • a machine readable file identifies the different subscribers with different predetermined combinations of at least some of the gatherer pockets to be instructed to feed during a gathering machine cycle to provide the predetermined combinations of signatures constituting the appropriate magazines for subscribers in the different groups.
  • the file is then machine read and, in accordance with the reading of the file, the gatherer pockets are instructed to feed in the predetermined combinations required to provide the different magazines appropriate for the corresponding different subscribers.
  • FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram of the process control system for an alternative form of the system for producing magazines.
  • the invention has been described with reference to two specific embodiments, in both of which information concerning the subscribers isstored on a file in machine readable form and subsequently machine read ,to control the. magazine production process.
  • the machine reading of the file occurs in timed relation to the cycles of operation of the gathering machine while in the second embodiment the information read from the file is temporarily stored in a memory and read from the memory to control the production process. Still further modifications will occur.
  • pocket instruction means for instructing the associated said pocket to feed or not feed during each gathering machine cycle
