Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Falzapparat nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a folder according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einem solchen Falzapparat herkömmlicher Bauweise werden bekanntlich Bedruckstoffbahnen ein- oder mehrlagig über Wendevorrichtungen und/oder Falztrichter zugeführt, wobei über Falztrichter geführte Bahnen längsgefalzt werden. Dies ist der sogenannte erste Falz. Anschließend wird die Bedruckstoffbahn über Zugwalzen und ggf. über eine Perforiereinrichtung dem Querfalzwerk zugeführt, wo der sogenannte zweite Falz vorgenommen wird. Das Querfalzwerk besteht üblicherweise aus einem Schneid-Falzmesserzylinderpaar und einem Falzklappenzylinder. Durch entsprechende Punktursteuerung können ggf. die auf die gewünschte Abschnittlänge zugeschnittenen Druckexemplare bei entsprechender Zylinderteilung auf dem Falzmesserzylinder gesammelt werden. Die Zylinderanordnung des Querfalzwerkes ist zur Erzeugung eines zweiten Querfalzes erweiterbar. Nach der Querfalzung gelangen die Exemplare alternativ zur Auslage in ein Schaufelrad oder eine Bandleitungsstrecke zum zweiten Längsfalzwerk, in dem die Exemplare mittels eines Falzmessers mit dem sogenannten dritten Falz versehen werden.In the case of such a folding device of conventional design, it is known that webs of printing material are fed in one or more layers via turning devices and / or folding former, wherein webs guided over folding former are longitudinally folded. This is the so-called first fold. The printing material web is then fed to the cross-fold unit via pull rollers and possibly via a perforating device, where the so-called second fold is carried out. The cross folding unit usually consists of a pair of cutter-folding knives and a folding jaw cylinder. By means of appropriate puncture control, the printed copies cut to the desired section length can be collected on the folding knife cylinder with appropriate cylinder division. The cylinder arrangement of the cross fold unit can be expanded to produce a second cross fold. After the transverse folding, the copies are alternatively delivered to a paddle wheel or a belt line section to the second longitudinal folding unit, in which the copies are provided with the so-called third fold by means of a folding knife.

Bei Doppelproduktion sind von einer Bahn gefalzte Druckprodukte unterschiedlicher Art herstellbar. Die Zusammenstellung der als Einlage vorgesehenen gefalzten Druckprodukte unteschiedlicher Art ist manuell durchführbar, indem das eine Produkt von der einen Auslage mit dem anderen Produkt von der anderen Auslage jeweils zusammengetragen wird. Eine Zusammenstellung der Druckprodukte unterschiedlicher Art mittels Sammeln, folglich Übereinanderlegen von Abschnitten vor der Querfalzung führt eingerechnet den zweiten und den dritten Falz dazu, daß die Druckprodukte unterschiedlicher Art über zwei Falze ineinanderhängen und nur umständlich voneinander zu trennen sein.In the case of double production, different types of printed products can be produced from one web. The assembly of the folded printed products of different types provided as an insert can be carried out manually in that the one product is brought together from the one delivery unit with the other product from the other delivery unit. A compilation of the printed products of different types by means of collecting, consequently superimposing sections in front of the transverse fold, including the second and third folds, means that the printed products of different types are interlocked with one another and can only be separated from one another with great difficulty.

Ein Übereinanderlegen quergefalzter Produkte mit anschließendem Falzen in der Drittefalzeinrichtung ist aus der DE-PS 35 034 bekannt. Die Anordnung umfaßt eine Sammelwalze, über deren Mantelfläche jedes quergefalzte Exemplar geführt wird. Die Steuerung für die Vereinigung des vorauslaufenden, mehr als einmal um die Sammelwalze herumlaufenden Exemplars mit dem nachlaufenden, knapp einmal um die Sammelwalze herumlaufenden Exemplars erfolgt mit einer Weiche. Nachteilig ist der lange Überführungsweg für jedes Exemplar über die Sammelwalze und die Führungssicherung nur mit Oberbändern.A superimposed cross-folded products with subsequent folding in the third folding device is known from DE-PS 35 034. The arrangement comprises a collecting roller, over the lateral surface of which each cross-folded copy is guided. The control for the union of the leading specimen, which runs more than once around the collecting roller with the trailing specimen, which runs almost once around the collecting roller, is carried out with a switch. The long transfer path for each specimen via the collecting roller and the guide lock is only disadvantageous with upper belts.

Der Querfalz ist bei dieser Vorrichtung auf ungenügend schnelle Weise mittels Messerfalzung ausgebildet. Von zwei Umführungen für das beabsichtigte Übereinanderlegen addieren sich in etwa zwei Führungsfehler.The cross fold is formed in this device in an insufficiently fast manner by knife folding. From two diversions for the intended superimposition, approximately two management errors add up.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Falzapparat bekannter Bauweise für die Ausgabe von Beilagen in Form ineinanderliegender gefalzter Druckexemplare unterschiedlicher Art weiterzubilden und den Aufbau dafür einfach und zuschaltbar zu gestalten.It is therefore an object of the invention to further develop a folder of known design for the delivery of inserts in the form of folded printed copies of different types, and to make the structure simple and switchable for this purpose.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the application of the features listed in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Aus der DE 33 25 543 A1 ist zwar schon ein Falzapparat mit einer Umwegleitung für quergefalzte Exemplare bekannt, doch ist dieser zu dem Zweck eingerichtet, jeweils auf Lücke transportierte, quergefalzte Exemplare in einem Takt in der Drittefalzvorrichtung wegzufalzen.From DE 33 25 543 A1, a folder with a detour line for cross-folded copies is already known, but this is set up for the purpose of folding cross-folded copies that are transported on a gap in one cycle in the third folding device.

Als Vorteil besteht bei einer derartigen Beilagen-Zusammenstellung, daß die Beilagen gegenüber einer Produktion mit Sammeln leicht zu trennen sind und daß bei der Produktion mit Klappenfalzwerk und anschließendem Messerfalzen zweier ineinanderliegender Exemplare hohe Geschwindigkeiten erreichbar sind. Durch die Geradeausführung jeweils mindestens eines Exemplares ergibt sich eine klare Bezugslage für das daraufzulegende Exemplar. Mit dem Aufliegen des geradeausgeführten Exemplars auf der unteren Bandleitung und dem Anschluß der Umwegleitung oberhalb ist verhindert, daß sich die Exemplare durch Schwerkraftwirkung falsch orientieren.The advantage of such an assembly of inserts is that the inserts are easy to separate from a production with collecting and that high speeds can be achieved in production with flap folder and subsequent knife folding of two copies lying one inside the other. By the straight version at least one copy each gives a clear reference position for the copy to be placed on it. The fact that the straight-running specimen lies on the lower ribbon line and the connection of the detour line above prevents the specimens from being misaligned due to the action of gravity.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel wird anhand der nachfolgenden Figuren aufgezeigt.

An exemplary embodiment is shown using the following figures.

another training variant of a collecting device.

Fig.1 läßt einen herkömmlichen Falzapparat erkennen, dem über einen Falztrichter 1 eine oder mehrere ein- oder beidseitig bedruckte Druckträgerbahnen 2 zugeführt werden. Die Zuführung der Druckträgerbahn 2 kann auch über Wendestangen erfolgen. Wird die Druckträgerbahn 2 über Falztrichter 1 zugeführt, so wird diese in Längsrichtung gefalzt. Dies ist der sogenannte erste Falz. Hinter dem Falztrichter 1 wird die häufig längsgeschnittene Druckträgerbahn 2 über eine zwei Perforierwalzen 3, 4 umfassende Perforiereinrichtung geführt und gelangt zu einem Falzklappen-Falzmesserzylinderpaar 5, 7. Durch an den Falzmesserzylinder 5 anstellbare Schneidzylinder 6 wird die Bahn 2 in die gewünschten Abschnittslängen zugeschnitten. Durch Falzmesser werden die auf dem Falzmesserzylinder 5 liegenden Druckexemplare in entsprechende Falzklappen an einen Falzklappenzylinder 7 gestoßen. Gegebenenfalls kann mit Hilfe eines weiteren Falzmesserzylinders ein zweiter Querfalz bei den auf dem Falzklappenzylinder 7 aufliegenden Druckexemplaren erzeugt werden.1 shows a conventional folder to which one or more print carrier webs 2 printed on one or both sides are fed via a former 1. The print carrier web 2 can also be fed via turning bars. If the print carrier web 2 is fed via the former 1, it is folded in the longitudinal direction. This is the so-called first fold. Behind the folding former 1, the often longitudinally cut print carrier web 2 is guided over a perforating device comprising two perforating rollers 3, 4 and arrives at a pair of folding jaw folding knife cylinders 5, 7. The cutting cylinders 6 can be cut to the desired section lengths by means of cutting cylinders 6 which can be adjusted on the folding knife cylinder 5. The printed copies lying on the folding knife cylinder 5 are pushed into a folding jaw cylinder 7 by means of folding knives in corresponding folding jaws. If necessary, a second transverse fold can be produced with the aid of a further folding knife cylinder in the printed copies resting on the folding jaw cylinder 7.

Hinter dem Falzklappenzylinder 7 können die Druckexemplare A über ein Schaufelrad 9 in geschuppter Form auf einem Auslegeband 10 ausgelegt werden. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, von dem Falzklappenzylinder 7 die Druckexemplare dem dritten Falz (üblicherweise der zweite Längsfalz) mittels einer Aushebezunge 11 über eine Bandleitung 12 zuzuführen. Hierfür sind ein Falzwalzenpaar 13 und oberhalb diesem ein zwischen dieses einstoßbares Falzmesser 14 erforderlich. Unterhalb des Falzwalzenpaares 13 befindet sich ein weiteres Schaufelrad, das der Einfachheit halber hier jedoch nicht mehr dargestellt ist.Behind the folding jaw cylinder 7, the printed copies A can be laid out in a scaled form on a delivery belt 10 by means of a paddle wheel 9. Another possibility is to feed the printed copies from the folding jaw cylinder 7 to the third fold (usually the second longitudinal fold) by means of a lifting tongue 11 via a ribbon line 12. This requires a pair of folding rollers 13 and above this a folding blade 14 which can be pushed in between them. Below the pair of folding rollers 13 there is another paddle wheel, which, however, is no longer shown here for the sake of simplicity.

Erfindungsgemäß wird vor dem dritten Falz, d.h. vor der Falzvorrichtung 13, 14, eine Sammelvorrichtung 15 vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe die hintereinander ankommenden, vorzugsweise bereits einmal quergefalzten Druckexemplare A1, A2 gesammelt werden. Dabei ist es besonders vorteilhaft, jeweils ein Falzexemplar über einen Umweg zu der durch die Bandleitung 12 gebildeten Geradeausführung zeitlich zu verzögern, so daß es vorderkantengenau auf das nachfolgende Falzexemplar aufgelegt werden kann.According to the invention, before the third fold, i.e. In front of the folding device 13, 14, a collecting device 15 is provided, with the aid of which the printing copies A1, A2 arriving one behind the other, preferably already folded once, are collected. It is particularly advantageous to delay one fold copy in each case via a detour to the straight design formed by the ribbon line 12, so that it can be placed on the following fold copy with precise leading edges.

Werden nun in derartiger Weise die so gesammelten Durckexemplare A1, A2 dem dritten Falz (13, 14) zugeführt, so ergibt sich ein Endprodukt, das aus zwei ineinanderliegenden, vorzugsweise jeweils selbst mindestens einmal quergefalzten Exemplaren bestehenden Teilen besteht. Diese können nunmehr ohne großen Aufwand beispielsweise als Beilagen in Tageszeitungen in einem Arbeitsgang eingelegt werden. Der Einlegevorgang ist dadurch zeitsparend durchführbar.If the printed copies A1, A2 thus collected are fed to the third fold (13, 14) in such a way, an end product results which consists of two nested, preferably each at least once cross-folded copies of existing parts. These can now be inserted without much effort, for example, as inserts in daily newspapers in one work step. The insertion process can thus be carried out in a time-saving manner.

In Fig.2 ist eine erste Variante eines als Sammelvorrichtung geeigneten Sammelzylinders 16 angedeutet. Der Sammelzylinder 16 ist mit Greifern 16' ausgestattet, die jeweils ein Druckexemplar, beispielsweise A1, erfassen und nach vorzugsweise einmaliger Umführung auf das nachfolgende Druckexemplar A2 kantengenau auflegen. Bei 16'' ist der Sammelzylinder 16 zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt dargestellt, bei dem er bereits das Druckexemplar A1' auf ein nachfolgendes Exemplar A2 auflegt. Wie in Fig.2 rechts angedeutet, ist es somit möglich, Druckexemplare A1, A2 unterschiedlicher Art kantengenau übereinanderzulegen. So kann das Druckexemplar A1 jeweils ein Prospekt für Herrenmode das Druckexemplar A2 ein Prospekt für Damenmode sein. Nach Bildung des dritten Falzes liegen beide Prospekte leicht auseinandernehmbar ineinander und können als ein Produkt beispielsweise in eine Tageszeitung eingelegt werden. Es wäre auch denkbar, die Produkte mittels einer Bänderführung um den Zylinder 16 zu führen, wobei die Greifer 16' im Übergabezeitpunkt die Funktion von Abweisern haben könnten.A first variant of a collecting cylinder 16 suitable as a collecting device is indicated in FIG. The collecting cylinder 16 is equipped with grippers 16 ', each of which grips a printed copy, for example A1, and, after preferably being transferred once, places it on the subsequent printed copy A2 with exact edges. At 16 ″, the collecting cylinder 16 is shown at another point in time at which it is already placing the printed copy A1 ′ on a subsequent copy A2. As indicated on the right in FIG. 2, it is thus possible to lay printed copies A1, A2 of different types on top of one another with the exact edges. For example, the printed copy A1 can be a brochure for men's fashion and the printed copy A2 can be a brochure for women's fashion. After the third fold has been formed, the two brochures are easily separable and can be inserted as one product, for example in a daily newspaper. It would also be conceivable to guide the products around the cylinder 16 by means of a belt guide, the grippers 16 ′ being able to function as deflectors at the time of transfer.

Eine vorteilhafte Sammelvorrichtung zeigt Fig.3, die drei Bandleitungen 17, 18, 19 umfaßt. Von jeweils links kommend gelangen die Druckexemplare auf die geradeauslaufende Bandleitung 17, die in bekannter Weise angetrieben und um Umlenkrollen 20, 21 geführt ist. Oberhalb der Bandleitung 17 ist die äußere Bandleitung 18 angedeutet, die einen etwa M- bzw. brückenförmigen Verlauf aufweist. Dadurch werden die von links kommenden Druckexemplare gefaßt und können alternierend der Umwegstrecke über deren Eingang X zugeführt werden und gelangen nach einer durch den Weg der Verzögerungsleitung bestimmten Zeit über den Ausgang Y wiederum auf die Bandleitung 17 bzw. auf den durch die Bandleitung 17 und die Bandleitung 18 gebildeten linken Abschnitt und somit kantengenau auf ein nicht umgeleitetes Druckexemplar.An advantageous collecting device is shown in FIG. 3, which comprises three ribbon lines 17, 18, 19. Coming from the left in each case, the printed copies reach the straight-running ribbon line 17, which is driven in a known manner and is guided around deflection rollers 20, 21. Above the ribbon cable 17, the outer ribbon cable 18 is indicated, which has an approximately M-shaped or bridge-shaped course. As a result, the printed copies coming from the left are taken and can alternately be fed to the detour via their input X and, after a time determined by the path of the delay line, pass through the output Y again to the ribbon line 17 or to the ribbon line 17 and the ribbon line 18 formed left section and thus precisely on a non-redirected print copy.

Die äußere Bandleitung 18 wird über Band- und Umlenkrollen 22 und 23 geführt. Um jeweils die entsprechende Bandspannung einstellen zu können, ist eine Spannrolle 24 zwischen Umlenkrollen 25 und 26 zweckmäßig. Des weiteren wird die Bandleitung 18 über Umlenkrollen 27 und 28 geführt.The outer ribbon line 18 is guided over ribbon and deflection rollers 22 and 23. In order to be able to set the respective belt tension, is a tension roller 24 between the pulleys 25 and 26 appropriate. Furthermore, the ribbon cable 18 is guided over deflection rollers 27 and 28.

Die den Umweg bildende Ausnehmung in der äußeren Bandleitung 18 umfaßt die innere Bandleitung 19 und wird beidseitig durch Spann- und Umlenkrollen 22 und 23 in ihrer Länge entlang der Druckexemplartransportrichtung festgelegt. Eine Spannrolle 29 ist zwischen oberen Spann- und Umlenkrollen 30, 31 angeordnet, so daß hierdurch die äußere Bandleitung 18 und die innere Bandleitung 19 in der gewünschten Weise spannbar sind, da diese gemeinsam über diese Spann- bzw. Umlenkrollen geführt werden. Auf der Höhe der Spann- und Umlenkrollen 22, 23 sind Spann- und Umlenkrollen 32 und 33 angeordnet, um die die innere Bandleitung 19 geführt ist. Wie Fig.3 zeigt, sind die Spann- und Umlenkrollen 32, 31 und 30, 33 jeweils paarweise mit einer Schwenkhebelanordnung 34, 35 bzw. 36, 37 verbunden, deren Drehpunkt bei 38, 39 angedeutet ist. Dadurch kann der Weg der Umleitung zwischen X und Y so verändert werden, daß nacheinander ankommende Druckexemplare vorderkantengenau aufeinanderlegbar sind. Es ist auch möglich, einzelne, beispielsweise mit Gewinden ausgestattete Stäbe für die Spann- und Umlenkrollen 30, 31 und 32, 33 zu verwenden, wodurch ebenfalls durch deren Längenänderung der Umweg veränderbar ist. Selbstverständlich müssen bei einer Veränderung des Umweges durch Verschieben oder Verschwenken der Rollen 30, 31 und 32, 33 auch die Spann- und Umlenkrollen 22 und 23 verändert werden, um jeweils einen definierten Eingang X und Ausgang Y für die Umleitung zu erhalten. Mit Hilfe der steuerbaren Zunge 40 am Eingang X können bestimmte, z.B. jeweils die ungeradzahligen Druckexemplare A1 umgelenkt und die geradzahligen Druckexemplare A2 gerade angeführt werden.The recess forming the detour in the outer ribbon line 18 encompasses the inner ribbon line 19 and is fixed on both sides by tensioning and deflecting rollers 22 and 23 in its length along the direction of the copy transport. A tensioning roller 29 is arranged between the upper tensioning and deflecting rollers 30, 31, so that the outer band line 18 and the inner band line 19 can thereby be tensioned in the desired manner, since these are guided together via these tensioning or deflecting rollers. At the level of the tensioning and deflecting rollers 22, 23, tensioning and deflecting rollers 32 and 33 are arranged, around which the inner band line 19 is guided. As FIG. 3 shows, the tensioning and deflecting rollers 32, 31 and 30, 33 are each connected in pairs to a swivel lever arrangement 34, 35 and 36, 37, the pivot point of which is indicated at 38, 39. As a result, the route of the diversion between X and Y can be changed in such a way that successively arriving print copies can be placed on top of one another with precise leading edges. It is also possible to use individual rods, for example equipped with threads, for the tensioning and deflecting rollers 30, 31 and 32, 33, whereby the detour can also be changed by changing their length. Of course, if the detour is changed by moving or pivoting the rollers 30, 31 and 32, 33, the tensioning and deflecting rollers 22 and 23 must also be changed in order to obtain a defined input X and output Y for the diversion. With the help of the controllable tongue 40 at the input X, certain, e.g. each redirected the odd-numbered copies A1 and the even-numbered copies A2 were just listed.
