Abstract

To provide for a space-saving, yet high-capacity storage system for sheet elements, for example folded printed paper sheets or the like, a plurality of segments (6) are slidable along a guide track. The segments are interconnected, for example by welding, hinges or the like, in zig-zag or accordeon pleat form. When compressed, the structure can be empty and any number of segments can be taken from an empty storage region, transported to a loading/unloading/mixing region for insertion, removal, or interleaving of sheet elements, while the segments are in expanded position; and then, again, compressed so that sheet elements or folded sheets will continue to be carried in the structure formed by the segments, with little space required. For interleaving or intermixing of sheets, folded or single sheet elements, two such zig-zag carrier structures can be located adjacent each other or above each other, and by spreading apart the segments which may be in U-shape, two paired lateral elements supported on divergent rails or the rail, permit dropping of sheets or sheet elements from an upper segmental array into a lower one or, if located adjacent each other, permit gripping of sheet elements in one array and lateral transport by grippers to an adjacent one.

Description

"Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme und Weiterführung von Falzprodukten mit unter ihre Falzrücken greifende an Trag- und Führungseinrichtungen angeordneten Mitteln."The invention relates to a device for receiving and continuing folding products with means arranged beneath their folding backs on supporting and guiding devices.

Es ist allgemein bekannt, daß häufig in aktuelle Druck- bzw. Falzprodukte, beispielsweise in Form von Zeitungen, Beilagen, beispielsweise in Form von Prospekten eingefügt werden müssen. Hierfür ist es unter anderem allgemein bekannt, auf Speichertrommeln aufgewickelte Falzprodukte abzurollen und mit Öffnungstrommeln oder durch Einsteckvorrichtungen wieder zu öffnen, um die Beilagen einfügen zu können. Neben dem erforderlichen Platz- und Geräteaufwand sowie dem umständlichen Handling ist für das Öffnen der Falzprodukte auch ein sogenannter Überfalz erforderlich, der einen erhöhten Papierverbrauch bedingt. Des weiteren ist es aus der DE-OS 34 27 559 und aus der DE-OS 34 27 558 bekannt, Falzprodukte mittels unter ihren Falzrücken greifende Stäbe, die an Trag- und Führungseinrichtungen positioniert und entlang dieser geführt werden können, aufzunehmen und durch Ubereinanderführung von Falzprodukten diese im gespreizten Zustand ineinander zu legen. Eine raumsparende Speicherung ist jedoch nicht möglich.It is generally known that inserts, for example in the form of brochures, often have to be inserted into current printed or folded products, for example in the form of newspapers. For this purpose, it is generally known, among other things, to roll folded products wound on storage drums and to reopen them with opening drums or by means of insertion devices in order to be able to insert the inserts. In addition to the required space and equipment as well as the cumbersome handling, a so-called overfold is also required to open the folded products, which causes increased paper consumption. Furthermore, it is known from DE-OS 34 27 559 and from DE-OS 34 27 558 to take folded products by means of bars which grip under their fold backs and which can be positioned on carrying and guiding devices and guided along them, and by overlapping Folded products to be placed one inside the other in the spread state. However, space-saving storage is not possible.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die die Übernahme und Führung von Bogen- bzw. Falzprodukten in der Weise anbietet, daß Beilagen oder andere Falzprodukte in diese einführbar sind und die Speicherung auf reduziertem Raum erfolgen kann, ohne daß die Vorrichtung verlassen werden muß, wobei für das Öffnen der Falzprodukte kein Überfalz und keine zusätzlichen Geräte benötigt werden sollen.The object of the invention is to provide a device which offers the takeover and management of sheet or folded products in such a way that inserts or other folded products can be inserted into them and can be stored in a reduced space without leaving the device must be, with no overlap and no additional devices should be needed to open the folded products.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen, der Beschreibung und den Zeichnungen. In diesen zeigen schematisch:

  • Fig. 1 - 7 eine erste Ausführungsform von Träger bildenden Segmenten zur Aufnahme von Falzprodukten mit einer Möglichkeit, diese zusammenzuführen bzw. Einlagen einzufügen,
  • Fig. 8 - 11 eine zweite Ausführungsform von Segmenten,
  • Fig. 12 -15 eine dritte Ausführungsform der Segmente,
  • Fig. 16 und 17 eine vierte Ausführungsform,
  • Fig. 18 eine Speicher- und Einführ- bzw. Mischstation,
  • Fig. 19 und 20 eine Draufsicht auf die Segmente gemäß Fig. 16 und 17,
  • Fig. 21 bis 24 perspektifische Darstellungen der Ausführungsformen gemäß Fig. 1, 12, 8 und 16,
  • Fig. 25 eine schematische Darstellung einer fünften Ausführungform der Segmente und
  • Fig. 26 und 27 zwei weitere mehr zieharmonikaartige Ausführungen.
This object is achieved by applying the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Further developments result from the subclaims, the description and the drawings. These show schematically:
  • 1 - 7 a first embodiment of segments forming supports for receiving folded products with a possibility of bringing them together or inserting inserts,
  • 8-11 a second embodiment of segments,
  • 12 -15 a third embodiment of the segments,
  • 16 and 17 a fourth embodiment,
  • 18 a storage and insertion or mixing station,
  • 19 and 20 is a plan view of the segments of FIGS. 16 and 17,
  • 21 to 24 are perspective views of the embodiments of FIGS. 1, 12, 8 and 16,
  • 25 is a schematic representation of a fifth embodiment of the segments and
  • 26 and 27 two more more accordion-like designs.

Bei den Ausführungsbeispielen der Fig. 1 bis 24 werden vorzugsweise elastische dünne Bleche 1, beispielsweise aus gehärtetem Stahl, verwendet, die etwa zick-zackförmig miteinander verbunden sind. An den oberen und unteren Berührungsstellen 2, 3 kann die Verbindung beispielsweise durch Punktschweißung hergestellt werden. Die erfindungsgemäßen Segmente in Form der dargestellten Bleche 1 können jedoch auch aus Kunststoff, Pappe oder anderen elastischen Materialien mit ausreichender Stabilität hergestellt und in geeigneter Weise miteinander verbunden werden. Es ist auch möglich, an den oberen und unteren Berührungsstellen Gelenkverbindungen, beispielsweise in Form von allgemein bekannten Klavierbändern oder ähnlichen einfachen Gelenken vorzusehen, um die etwa zick-zackförmige Struktur auseinander- und zusammenschieben- bzw. ziehen zu können. Bei der Verwendung von Gelenken ist es nicht unbedingt erforderlich, daß die Segmente selbst elastisch sind.In the exemplary embodiments in FIGS. 1 to 24, elastic thin sheets 1, for example made of hardened steel, are preferably used, which are connected to one another in an approximately zigzag fashion. At the upper and lower contact points 2, 3, the connection can be made, for example, by spot welding. However, the segments according to the invention in the form of the sheets 1 shown can also be produced from plastic, cardboard or other elastic materials with sufficient stability and can be connected to one another in a suitable manner. It is also possible to provide articulated connections at the upper and lower contact points, for example in the form of generally known piano bands or similar simple joints, in order to be able to push the approximately zigzag-shaped structure apart and together or pull it. When using joints, it is not absolutely necessary that the segments themselves are elastic.

Dadurch können die die Träger bildenden etwa zick-zackförmigen Strukturen aus den Segmenten, in Form von Blechen 1, in Richtung der Pfeile 4 und 5 (Fig. 3) auseinander- und zusammengeschoben bzw. gezogen werden.As a result, the approximately zigzag-shaped structures forming the supports can be pushed apart and pulled together or pulled out of the segments, in the form of sheets 1, in the direction of arrows 4 and 5 (FIG. 3).

Es versteht sich, daß die Blechsegmente 1 sich beliebig oft aneinanderreihen lassen, um ausreichend lange endliche oder unendliche Träger-Systeme zu bilden. Wie bereits die Fig. 1 bis 3 erkennen lassen, sind die einzelnen Blechsegmente 1 so geformt, daß die Papierbögen bzw. die Falzprodukte 6, 7 in geöffnetem oder geschlossenem Zustand hängend getragen werden können. Wird die Struktur bzw. der Träger auseinandergezogen, öffnen sich die Falzprodukte an vorbestimmten Stellen und beim Zusammenschieben, beispielsweise zur kompakten Speicherung schließen sie sich. Desweiteren sind die Blechsegmente 1 so geformt, daß sie sich in geöffneter, d. h. daß in auseinandergezogener Form auf Trag- und Führungseinrichtungen, hier in Form von Schienen 8, 9 bewegen lassen und im geschlossenen Zustand in einer Kassette 10 abspeicherbar sind.It is understood that the sheet metal segments 1 can be strung together as often as required to form sufficiently long finite or infinite support systems. As can already be seen in FIGS. 1 to 3, the individual sheet segments 1 are shaped such that the paper sheets or the folded products 6, 7 can be carried hanging in the open or closed state. If the structure or the carrier is pulled apart, the folded products open at predetermined points and when pushed together, for example for compact storage, they close. Furthermore, the sheet metal segments 1 are shaped so that they are in the open, ie. H. that can be moved in an exploded form on carrying and guiding devices, here in the form of rails 8, 9 and can be stored in a cassette 10 in the closed state.

Ab einer gewissen Länge der Struktur bzw. der Trägeranordnung ist es vorteilhaft, entsprechende Transportvorrichtungen einzusetzen. Diese können beispielsweise in Form von Takt- bzw. Transportbändern ausgebildet sein. Eine besonders geeignete Transportvorrichtung ist in der EP-A1 0 250 771 mit gleichem Altersrang ausführlich dargestellt und beschrieben.From a certain length of the structure or the carrier arrangement, it is advantageous to use corresponding transport devices. These can be designed, for example, in the form of cycle or conveyor belts. A particularly suitable transport device is described and described in detail in EP-A1 0 250 771 with the same age rank.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen eine etwa U-förmige Gestalt der Segmente 1. An den nicht näher bezeichneten Schenkeln der Segmente 1 greifen beispielsweise in Ausnehmungen seitlich angeordnete Schienen 8, 9 ein, entlang denen die Strukuren bzw. Träger aus zick-zackförmigen Segmenten 1 bewegbar sind. Bei der Verwendung von zwei übereinander angeordneten Zick-Zackreihen gemäß den Fig. 2, 4, 5 und 6 können von den oberen, jeweils mit einem Apostroph gekennzeichneten Zick-Zack-Strukturen Falzprodukte 6 auf bzw. in Falzprodukte 7 in den unteren Segmenten 1 eingelegt, bzw. über diese gelegt werden. Hierfür erfolgt zunächst bei festgehaltenem Falzprodukt 6 ein Verkanten bzw. Absenken auf der linken Seite (Fig. 2) und anschließend ein Verschieben (Fig. 4), so daß das obere Falzprodukt 6 zunächst von dem linken und dann von dem rechten Schenkel herunterrutscht und sich auf das darunterliegende Falzprodukt 7 auflegt oder in dieses hineinfällt. Fig. 3 und 7 zeigen diesen Vorgang in schematischer Ansicht.1 and 2 show an approximately U-shaped shape of the segments 1. On the legs of the segments 1, which are not specified in more detail, rails 8, 9 arranged laterally engage, for example, in recesses, along which the structures or supports made of zigzag-shaped segments 1 are movable. 2, 4, 5 and 6, folding products 6 of the upper zigzag structures, each marked with an apostrophe, can be placed on or in folding products 7 in the lower segments 1 , or be placed over them. For this purpose, when the folded product 6 is held, it is tilted or lowered on the left side (FIG. 2) and then shifted (FIG. 4), so that the upper folded product 6 first of the left and then of the right leg slips down and lies on the underlying folding product 7 or falls into it. 3 and 7 show this process in a schematic view.

Fig. 18 zeigt die zick-zackförmige Trägerstruktur in der Gesamtheit, nämlich in zusammengeschobener Form in einem Leerspeicherbereich 11, der eine Kassette 10 umfassen kann (Fig. 16). Aus dem Leerspeicherbereich 11 werden die zick-zackförmigen Segmente 1, auf Schienen 8, 9, 35, 36) geführt, heraus- und auseinandergezogen, um einen Entlade-, Belade- oder Mischbereich 12 zu bilden, wonach die beladenen Segmente 1, d. h. mit Druckexemplaren und mit entsprechenden Beilagen versehen, zusammengeschoben in einem Vollspeicher 13, der ebenfalls wieder eine Kassette 10 umfassen kann, platzsparend abgespeichert. Zunächst könnten auch von oben im Misch- bzw. Beladebereich 12 Produkte 14 in gespreizter Form in die Segmente beispielsweise mit einer Vorrichtung gemäß DE-PS 34 27 558 eingefügt werden, wonach Beilagen 15 von einem weiteren System zugefügt werden könnten und wonach die Abspeicherung bei 13 erfolgt.FIG. 18 shows the zigzag-shaped carrier structure in its entirety, namely in a pushed together form in an empty storage area 11, which can comprise a cassette 10 (FIG. 16). From the empty storage area 11, the zigzag-shaped segments 1, on rails 8, 9, 35, 36) are guided, pulled out and apart to form an unloading, loading or mixing area 12, after which the loaded segments 1, i. H. stored with printed copies and with appropriate supplements, pushed together in a full memory 13, which may also again comprise a cassette 10, stored in a space-saving manner. First, products 14 in spread form could also be inserted into the segments from above in the mixing or loading area 12, for example with a device according to DE-PS 34 27 558, according to which supplements 15 could be added by another system and after which the storage at 13 he follows.

Die Fig. 8 bis 11 zeigen eine weitere Ausbildungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Segmente, vorzugsweise aus elastischen Blechen 22, die vorzugsweise zur leichteren Handhabung auf Schienen 17, 18 führbar sind und die in eine Kassette 16 eingeschoben oder aus einer solchen entnommen werden können. Die ebenfalls wieder in der beschriebenen Weise zick-zackförmigen miteinander verbundenen Bleche 22 weisen im oberen Bereich Ausnehmungen auf, in die zur Entnahme der in diesen befindlichen Falzprodukte 19, Greifer 20 eingreifen können. Mit Hilfe der Greifer 20 können die Falzprodukte 19 in eine etwa daneben-, jedoch vorzugsweise tiefergesetzten Zick-Zack-Struktur aus den Segmenten 23 durch Anheben, Querverschieben und Absenkung übergeben werden, wie die schematische Seitendarstellung gemäß Fig. 11 erkennen läßt, so daß wiederum z. B. aktuelle Produkte, wie Zeitungen und Beilagen ineinander führbar sind. Während Fig. 8 die zick-zackförmige Träger-Struktur aus den Segmenten 22 im Speicherbereich, d. h. in der Kassette 6 zeigt, läßt Fig. 9 die Struktur im Lade-, Entlade- bzw. Mischbereich 12 (vgl. Fig. 18) erkennen, von wo aus die Übergabe in die andere zick-zackförmige Träger-Struktur 23 auf oder in die Falzprodukte 21 etwa durch eine Parallelverschiebung erfolgen kann.8 to 11 show a further embodiment of the segments according to the invention, preferably made of elastic sheets 22, which can preferably be guided on rails 17, 18 for easier handling and which can be inserted into or removed from a cassette 16. The sheets 22, which are also interconnected in the manner described in a zigzag manner, have recesses in the upper area, into which grippers 20 can engage to remove the folded products 19 located therein. With the aid of the grippers 20, the folded products 19 can be transferred from the segments 23 into an approximately adjacent, but preferably lowered zigzag structure by lifting, moving and lowering them, as can be seen in the schematic side view according to FIG. 11, so that again e.g. B. current products, such as newspapers and inserts can be guided together. 8 shows the zigzag-shaped carrier structure from the segments 22 in the memory area, i. H. 9 shows the structure in the loading, unloading or mixing area 12 (see FIG. 18), from where the transfer into the other zigzag-shaped carrier structure 23 on or into the Folded products 21 can be done by a parallel displacement.

Die Fig. 12 bis 15 zeigen eine dritte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Segmente wiederum U-förmig zur Bildung einer zick-zackförmigen Träger- Struktur, die in Fig. 12 in der Kassette 10 in zusammengeschobener Form gespeichert ist. Hier zeigen die Segmente 29 an den oberen Enden ihrer Schenkel 27, 28 nach innen gerichtete Nasen 24 und 25, die unter den Falz bzw. den Falzrücken der Falzprodukte 26 greifen. Die Schenkel 27, 28 sind auf seitlich in unterschiedlichem Abstand zueinander verlaufenden Schienen 30 und 31 geführt, wodurch eine Auslenkung erfolgt, und zwar über dem bogenförmigen Bereich 32, so daß unter Spreizung durch Drehung der Nasen 24 und 25 die Falzprodukte 26 freikommen und nach unten fallen können, um in eine andere nicht gezeigte Struktur bzw. auf eine entsprechende Auslage zu gelangen. Eine Spreizung ist auch durch seitliches Herausdrehen der Segmente möglich.12 to 15 show a third embodiment of the segments according to the invention in turn U-shaped to form a zigzag-shaped carrier structure which is stored in the cassette 10 in a pushed-together form in FIG. 12. Here, the segments 29 show at the upper ends of their legs 27, 28 inwardly directed lugs 24 and 25 which engage under the fold or the fold back of the fold products 26. The legs 27, 28 are guided on rails 30 and 31 running laterally at different distances from one another, as a result of which there is a deflection, specifically over the arcuate region 32, so that the folding products 26 are released and downward when the noses 24 and 25 are spread apart can fall to get into another structure, not shown, or to a corresponding display. Spreading is also possible by unscrewing the segments to the side.

Die Fig. 16 bis 20 zeigen geteilte Formen, bei denen die Segmente 33, 34 jeweils beidseitig der zuführenden Falzprodukte 14 auf Schienen 35, 36 angeordnet sind. Wiederum aus einer Kassette 10 kommend können die geteilten Segmente 33, 34 in einem Entlade-, Belade- bzw. Mischbereich 12 auseinandergezogen werden, um zwischen diesen gehaltenen Falzprodukte freizugeben, so daß diese nach unten auf weitere Falzprodukte z. B. 15 (Fig. 18) fallen können. Für diese Ausbildungsform ist die in Fig. 20 gezeigte Führung der Schienen 35, 36 in unterschiedlichem Abstand erforderlich. Wenn der Abstand der Schienen 33, 34 vergrößert wird, so kann die zuvor geschriebene Freigabe der Falzexemplare 14 erfolgen. Fig. 19 zeigt schematisch die Form zweier zick-zackförmig miteinander verbundenen Segmente 39, 40 in auseinandergezogenem Zustand und von oben. Hier ist erkennbar, daß im oberen Bereich, jeweils zwischen 2 Segmenten ein V-förmige vorzugsweise elastische Halterung mit ihren beiden Zungen 37, 38 jeweils an je einem der Segmente 39, 40 befestigt ist, so daß beim Auseinanderziehen der Segmente 39, 40 sich die Zungen 37, 38 ebenfalls spreizen, und somit auch eine Spreizung der auf den V-förmigen Halterungen bzw. Zungen 37, 38 liegenden Falzprodukte z. B. 14 erfolgt. Wird die zick-zackförmige Träger-Struktur zusammengeschoben, so schließen sich auch die vorzugsweise aus dem gleichen Material, d. h. aus dünnem elastischem Blech bestehende Zungen 37, 38, die unterhalb der Falzrücken der Falzprodukte eingreifen. Beim Auseinanderführen der Schienen 35, 36 fallen diese in die in Fig. 17, 18 angedeuteten unteren zick-zackförmigen Träger-Strukturen bzw. auf oder in die dort befindlichen Falzprodukte 15.16 to 20 show divided shapes in which the segments 33, 34 are arranged on rails 35, 36 on both sides of the folded products 14 to be fed. Coming again from a cassette 10, the divided segments 33, 34 can be pulled apart in an unloading, loading or mixing area 12 in order to release folded products held between them, so that these can be folded down onto further folded products, e.g. B. 15 (Fig. 18) can fall. For this embodiment, the guide of the rails 35, 36 shown in FIG. 20 at different distances is required. If the distance between the rails 33, 34 is increased, the previously described release of the folded copies 14 can take place. 19 schematically shows the shape of two segments 39, 40 which are connected to one another in a zigzag shape, in the pulled-apart state and from above. It can be seen here that in the upper region, between two segments in each case a V-shaped, preferably elastic holder is fastened with its two tongues 37, 38 to one of the segments 39, 40, so that when the segments 39, 40 are pulled apart, the Also spread tongues 37, 38, and thus also a spread of the folded products lying on the V-shaped brackets or tongues 37, 38 z. B. 14 takes place. If the zigzag-shaped carrier structure is pushed together, then preferably also those of the same material close, ie. H. tongues 37, 38 made of thin, elastic sheet metal, which engage below the fold back of the fold products. When the rails 35, 36 are brought apart, they fall into the lower zigzag-shaped carrier structures indicated in FIGS. 17, 18 or onto or into the folded products 15 located there.

Die Fig. 21 bis 24 zeigen die erfindungsgemäßen zick-zackförmigen miteinander verbundenen Segmente in Form von elastischen Blechen in perspektivischer Darstellung. Fig. 21 zeigt dabei das Segment gemäß Fig. 1, Fig. 22 das Segment gemäß Fig. 12, Fig. 23 das Segment gemäß Fig. 8 und Fig. 24 das Segment gemäß Fig. 16 und 18.21 to 24 show the zigzag-shaped segments of the invention connected in the form of elastic sheets in a perspective view. 21 shows the segment according to FIG. 1, FIG. 22 the segment according to FIG. 12, FIG. 23 the segment according to FIG. 8 and FIG. 24 the segment according to FIGS. 16 and 18.

Wie bereits eingangs erwähnt wurde, ist es zwar zweckmäßig, als Segmente elastische miteinander verschweißte Bleche zu verwenden, jedoch ist auch eine Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 25 möglich, bei der die Segmente 44 aus elastischen z. B. Stahlstäben oder Drähten bestehen, die an den Stellen 45 und 46 miteinander verbunden, beispielsweise verschweißt sind und in einer H-förmigen Führung 47 gehalten und geführt werden.As already mentioned at the beginning, it is expedient to use elastic sheets welded together as segments, but an embodiment according to FIG. 25 is also possible in which the segments 44 are made of elastic z. B. steel rods or wires are connected to each other at the points 45 and 46, for example welded and held and guided in an H-shaped guide 47.

Desgleichen zeigt die Fig. 26 jeweils auf einer Seite eine Struktur, die fortlaufend aus einem endlosen elastischen Draht 48 zu Schlaufen geformt wurde und die Führungs- und Tragschiene 49 umschließt. Ein eventueller Antrieb 50 kann oberhalb der Schiene 49 eingreifen, während die vorstehenden Tragbereiche 51 bis 54 die Exemplare 55 aufnehmen und beim Auseinanderziehen diese öffnen. Im Blech 56 erfolgt der endlose Übergang von Schlaufe zu Schlaufe.Likewise, FIG. 26 shows a structure on one side, which was continuously formed into loops from an endless elastic wire 48 and encloses the guide and support rail 49. A possible drive 50 can engage above the rail 49, while the projecting support areas 51 to 54 receive the specimens 55 and open them when they are pulled apart. The endless transition from loop to loop takes place in the sheet 56.

Bei einfachen, d. h. nicht so komplexen Ausführungsformen können die zick-zackförmigen Träger-Strukturen von Hand aus einer Kassette in einem Belade-, Entlade- und Mischbereich geschoben bzw. gezogen werden, wonach ebenfalls ein manuelles Einschieben in einen Speicher erfolgen kann. Jedoch ist es zweckmäßig, bei größeren Systemen hierfür automatische Transportsysteme zu verwenden, wie sie in der gleichaltrigen EP-A1 0 250 771 gezeigt und beschrieben ist.With simple, i.e. H. not so complex embodiments, the zigzag-shaped carrier structures can be pushed or pulled by hand from a cassette in a loading, unloading and mixing area, after which manual insertion into a storage device can also take place. However, for larger systems it is expedient to use automatic transport systems for this purpose, as is shown and described in EP-A1 0 250 771 of the same age.

Letztlich zeigen die Fig. 27, 28 Varianten, bei denen die Segmente 56, 59 parallel verlaufen. Zwischen diesen sind V-förmige Tragnasen 58, 62 angeordnet, die unter die Falzrücken greifen und beim Auseinanderziehen der Strukturen die Falzprodukte spreizen. Gemäß Fig. 27 sind jeweils zwei Segmente 56 durch eine elastische Feder 57 verbunden, die z. B. an einer Seite einen nicht gezeigten Schlitz aufweisen können, in die ein an Segmente befestigter Stift eingreift. Fig. 28 zeigt elastische V-förmige Verbindungen 60, 61, durch die die Segmente 59 auseinander- und zusammenschiebbar sind. Letztere könnte ebenfalls durch ein Gelenk ersetzt werden.Finally, FIGS. 27, 28 show variants in which the segments 56, 59 run parallel. V-shaped support lugs 58, 62 are arranged between these, which grip under the fold back and spread the fold products when the structures are pulled apart. 27, two segments 56 are connected by an elastic spring 57 which, for. B. may have on one side a slot, not shown, in which engages a pin attached to segments. 28 shows elastic V-shaped connections 60, 61, through which the segments 59 can be pushed apart and pushed together. The latter could also be replaced by a joint.

In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung können die Segmente einzeln und/oder gruppenweise codiert werden. Es kommen hierfür z.B. Ausstanzungen, optisch oder magnetische lesbare Kennzeichnungen in Frage.In an advantageous development, the segments can be coded individually and / or in groups. There are e.g. Punching, optically or magnetically readable markings in question.
