This means that, in comparison, the stapling device according to the invention takes up only a fifth of the space compared to the space requirement of stapling devices constructed in a known manner.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hefteinrichtung für im vorgegebenen Abstand an Halterung V-förmig dieser zugeführten Falzprodukte, in der vor dem Falzrücken eines zu heftenden Falzproduktes ein Heftkopf angeordnet ist und in die V-förmige Öffnung ein Heftklammerschließer bei zur Heftebene einführbar ist.The invention relates to a stapling device for a predetermined spacing on the holder V-shaped of these supplied folding products, in which a stapling head is arranged in front of the folding back of a folding product to be stapled and a staple closer can be inserted into the V-shaped opening at the stapling level.

Aus der DE-PS 26 31 58 ist eine Hefteinrichtung der vorangehend spezifizierten Art bekannt. Hier werden die zu heftenden Produkte mittels an einer umlaufenden Transportvorrichtung im Abstand voneinander befestigten Stäben, die unter den Falzrücken der zu heftenden Falzprodukte greifen, horizontal der aus Heftköpfen und Gegenhalter bzw. Heftklammerschließer bestehenden Heftstation zugeführt. Mit dieser bekannten Hefteinrichtung können die zu heftenden Falzprodukte nur nacheinander, d.h. einzeln geheftet werden. Das gleiche gilt für die aus der DE-AS 19 49 769 bekannte Hefteinrichtung, bei der die zu heftenden Produkte sattelförmig, d.h. nach unten geöffnet der Heftstation zuführbar sind. Bei der Anordnung von mehreren Heftstationen hintereinander würde eine voluminös bauende Heftmaschine entstehen, deren Ausmaße beispielsweise bei der gleichzeitigen Heftung von 30, 50 oder mehr Produkten nicht mehr akzeptabel wäre.From DE-PS 26 31 58 a stapling device of the type specified above is known. Here, the products to be stapled are horizontally fed to the stapling station consisting of stapling heads and counterholders or staple closers by means of rods fastened at a distance from one another on a circulating transport device which grip under the fold back of the fold products to be stapled. With this known stapling device, the folded products to be stapled can only be sewn one after the other, i.e. can be stapled individually. The same applies to the stapling device known from DE-AS 19 49 769, in which the products to be stapled are saddle-shaped, i.e. can be fed downwards to the stapling station. If several stapling stations were arranged one after the other, a bulky stapling machine would be created, the dimensions of which would no longer be acceptable, for example, if 30, 50 or more products were stapled at the same time.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Hefteinrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, mit der mehrere Produkte gleichzeitig und auf kleinstem Raum geheftet werden können. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teiles des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und aus der Beschreibung in Verbindung mit den Zeichnungen. In diesen zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine zieharmonikaartige zick-zack Träger-Struktur als Transport- und Haltesystem für die erfindungsgemäße Hefteinrichtung,
  • Fig. 2 und 3 die erfindungsgemäße Hefteinrichtung in zwei Ansichten,
  • Fig. 4 die Hefteinrichtung gemäß Fig. 2 in Arbeitsposition und
  • Fig. 5 als vergrößerter Ausschnitt des Heftbereiches.
The object of the invention is to provide a stapling device of the generic type with which several products can be stapled simultaneously and in the smallest space. This object is achieved by applying the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Further developments result from the subclaims and from the description in connection with the drawings. In these show:
  • 1 shows an accordion-like zigzag carrier structure as a transport and holding system for the stitching device according to the invention,
  • 2 and 3, the stitching device according to the invention in two views,
  • Fig. 4, the stitching device according to FIG. 2 in the working position and
  • Fig. 5 as an enlarged section of the stitching area.

In besonders vorteilhafter Weise eignet sich in der erfindungsgemäßen Hefteinrichtung eine zieharmonika- bzw. zick-zackförmige Träger-Struktur, die aus zwei Hälften 1, 1ʹ besteht. In jeder der Hälften 1, 1ʹ sind V-förmige Zungen 2 bzw. 2ʹ vorgesehen, deren Schenkel sich öffnen, wenn die Träger-Struktur auseinandergezogen wird. In vorteilhafter Weise werden in den Hälften 1, 1ʹ V-förmig nach oben geöffnet die zu heftenden Falzprodukte 3 positioniert, wobei in diese die Zungen 2, 2ʹ eingreifen, so daß beim Auseinanderziehen der Hälften 1, 1ʹ durch öffnende Zungen 2, 2ʹ auch die Falzprodukte 3 geöffnet werden. Im zusammengeschobenen Zustand kann die Träger-Struktur in einen Speicher 4 zur raumsparenden Speicherung der Falzprodukte positioniert werden. Derartige Träger-Strukturen, ihre speziellen Ausbildungsformen und ihre Belade- und Entlademöglichkeit mit Falzprodukten oder anderen Druckexemplaren sind im einzelnen in den älteren Patentanmeldungen P 36 21 832.4, P 36 21 822.7, P 36 21 820.0 beschrieben. Die Träger-Strukturen bzw. deren Hälften 1, 1ʹ sind auf Schienen 5 angeordnet und auf diesen verschiebbar. Wird der Abstand der Schienen 5 zueinander vergrößert, so können die Falzprodukte 3 freigegeben werden, d.h. sie fallen zwischen den beiden Hälften 1, 1ʹ nach unten durch.In a particularly advantageous manner, an accordion-shaped or zigzag-shaped carrier structure, which consists of two halves 1, 1ʹ, is suitable in the stitching device according to the invention. In each of the halves 1, 1ʹ, V-shaped tongues 2 and 2ʹ are provided, the legs of which open when the support structure is pulled apart. Advantageously, the folded products 3 to be stapled are positioned in the halves 1, 1ʹ in a V-shape upwards, the tongues 2, 2ʹ engaging in them, so that when the halves 1, 1ziehen are pulled apart by opening tongues 2, 2ʹ also the Folded products 3 are opened. When pushed together, the carrier structure can be positioned in a memory 4 for space-saving storage of the folded products. Such support structures, their special training forms and their loading and unloading options with folded products or other printed copies are described in detail in the earlier patent applications P 36 21 832.4, P 36 21 822.7, P 36 21 820.0. The support structures or their halves 1, 1ʹ are arranged on rails 5 and slidable thereon. If the distance between the rails 5 is increased, the folded products 3 can be released, i.e. they fall down between the two halves 1, 1ʹ.

Durch beispielsweise eine oberhalb des Speichers 4 angeordnete Transportschnecke 18, die in den vorgenannten nicht vorveröffentlichten Patentanmeldungen im einzelnen dargestellt und beschrieben ist, werden die im zusammengeschobenen Zustand gespeicherten Träger-Strukturen 1, 1ʹ einer Transportvorrichtung, vorzugsweise in Form einer Taktkette 6 in Richtung des Pfeiles zugeführt. Wie Fig. 4 erkennen läßt, sind vorzugsweise beiderseits der Träger-Strukturen 1, 1ʹ jeweils eine Transportkette 6 bzw. 6ʹ angeordnet, so daß jeder der einzelnen Teile der Träger-Struktur 1, 1ʹ auf den Schienen 5 bzw. 5ʹ verschoben werden kann. Durch die Taktketten 6, 6ʹ werden die Träger-Strukturen 1, 1ʹ vollständig aus dem Speicher 4 herausgezogen und dabei geöffnet, so daß auch die in diesen befindlichen Falzprodukte 3 sich in Form eines nach oben offenen V öffnen. Mit ihrem Falzrücken liegen die zu heftenden Falzprodukte 3 also in den Träger-Strukturen 1, 1ʹ und werden in dieser Form einer Heftstation 8 bis 13 zugeführt (Fig. 3). In dieser ist an einem Balken 8 über eine Führung 9 ein Balken 10 aufgehängt, der eine Anzahl von V-förmigen Halterungen 11 aufweist, an deren unterer Spitze jeweils eine Gegenplatte bzw. ein Heftschließer 12 positioniert ist. Der Abstand der Heftschließer entspricht dem Abstand der in Pfeil- bzw. Transportrichtung 7 hintereinander angeordneten Heftköpfe 13. In diesem Abstand werden auch durch entsprechende Ausbildung der Taktketten 6, 6ʹ die zu heftenden Falzprodukte 3 zugeführt. Wenn sich die zu heftenden Falzprodukte 3 in der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Stellung befinden, wird der Balken 10 in die Position 10ʹ abgesenkt, so daß die Halterungen 11 und die Heftschließer 12 die Positionen 11ʹ, 12ʹ einnehmen. Dabei ist durch die vorteilhafte V-förmige Ausbildung der Halterungen 11 gewährleistet, daß sich die zu heftenden Falzprodukte 3 seitlich an die Träger-Strukturen 1, 1ʹ anlegen, so daß eine sichere Heftung durch Bewegung der Heftköpfe 13 in die Position 13ʹ unter Ausführung des Heftvorganges gewährleistet ist. Die Heftschließer 12 befinden sich in der Position 12ʹ in der Heftebene 19 unterhalb der ein Blech 17 angeordnet ist, auf das sich die Falzprodukte 3 aufsetzen können. Die erwähnte Transportschnecke 18 ist oberhalb des Speichers 4 angedeutet. Wie insbesondere Fig. 3 erkennen läßt, ist es wesentlich, daß die zu heftenden Falzprodukte 3 mit einer Transportrichtung 7 zugeführt werden, die quer also etwa rechtwinklig zur Mittelebene 20 der V-förmig geöffneten Falzprodukte verläuft. Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, die Falzprodukte 3 umgekehrt, d.h. mit nach unten gerichteter Öffnung zuzuführen, wobei in diesem Fall auch die Lage der Heftklammerschließer 12 und der Heftköpfe 13 vertauscht werden müßte. In den vorgenannten Patentanmeldungen ist u.a. auch eine derartige Zuführmöglichkeit von Falzprodukten offenbart und im einzelnen beschrieben. Nach erfolgter Heftung kann die Taktkette 6, 6ʹ in entgegengesetzter Richtung, d.h. von rechts nach links in Fig.3 bewegt werden, um durch entsprechende Auseinanderführung der Hälften 1, 1ʹ der Träger-Strukturen an entsprechend auseinanerlaufenden Schienen 5 diese freizugeben, so daß sie in die in Fig. 3 angedeutete Transportvorrichtung in Form einer Bandleitung 15 fallen können. Anschließend kann eine nächste Serie von zu heftenden Falzprodukten dem Speicher 4 übernommen werden. In Fig. 5 ist die in einer jeden Heftstation 12, 13 eingebrachte Klammer 14 angedeutet, wobei auch die Lage der Falzprodukte 3 zwischen den Halterungen 11 und den Träger-Strukten 1, 1ʹ hervorgeht. Die Heftebene, bis zu der die Heftklammerschließer 12 eingefahren werden, ist in Fig. 5 mit 19 bezeichnet. Es versteht sich, daß nach durchgeführter Heftung der Balken 10 wieder angehoben werden muß, bevor die gehefteten Falzprodukte an den Taktketten 6, 6ʹ entgegen der Richtung des Pfeiles 7 der Transportvorrichtung 15 zugeführt werden. Fig. 3 läßt erkennen, daß in vorteilhafter Weise die Einführung der Heftklammerschließer 11 in die V-förmig geöffneten Falzprodukte 3 in der Mittelebene 20 erfolgt, die quer zur Transportrichtung 7 verläuft.By means of, for example, a transport screw 18 arranged above the storage 4, which is shown and described in detail in the aforementioned unpublished patent applications, the carrier structures 1, 1ʹ stored in the pushed-together state are a transport device, preferably in the form of a clock chain 6 in the direction of the arrow fed. As can be seen in FIG. 4, a transport chain 6 or 6ʹ is preferably arranged on both sides of the carrier structures 1, 1ʹ, so that each of the individual parts of the carrier structure 1, 1ʹ can be moved on the rails 5 and 5ʹ. By means of the cycle chains 6, 6ʹ, the carrier structures 1, 1 Takt are completely pulled out of the memory 4 and opened in the process, so that the folding products 3 located therein also open in the form of a V open at the top. With their fold back, the fold products 3 to be stapled thus lie in the carrier structures 1, 1ʹ and are fed in this form to a stapling station 8 to 13 (FIG. 3). In this, a bar 10 is suspended from a bar 8 via a guide 9, which bar has a number of V-shaped brackets 11, on the lower tip of which a counterplate or a closer 12 is positioned. The distance between the stitch closers corresponds to the distance between the stitching heads 13 arranged one behind the other in the direction of arrow or transport 7. At this distance, the folding products 3 to be stitched are also supplied by appropriate formation of the timing chains 6, 6ʹ. When the folded products 3 to be stapled are in the position shown in FIG. 3, the bar 10 is lowered into the position 10ʹ, so that the holders 11 and the closers 12 assume the positions 11ʹ, 12ʹ. It is ensured by the advantageous V-shaped design of the brackets 11 that the folded products to be stapled 3 lay laterally on the support structures 1, 1ʹ, so that a secure stapling by moving the stitching heads 13 into the position 13ʹ while performing the stapling process is guaranteed. The stitching closers 12 are in the position 12ʹ in the stitching plane 19 below which a sheet 17 is arranged, on which the folded products 3 can be placed. The transport screw 18 mentioned is indicated above the store 4. As can be seen in particular in FIG. 3, it is essential that the folded products 3 to be stapled are fed with a transport direction 7 which thus runs transversely approximately at right angles to the central plane 20 of the V-shaped open folded products. It is within the scope of the invention Of course, it is also possible to feed the folded products 3 in reverse, ie with the opening facing downwards, in which case the position of the staple closers 12 and the stapling heads 13 would also have to be interchanged. In the aforementioned patent applications, such a possibility of feeding folded products is disclosed and described in detail. After stitching has been completed, the cycle chain 6, 6ʹ can be moved in the opposite direction, that is to say from right to left in FIG. 3, in order to release the carrier structures on correspondingly diverging rails 5 by correspondingly diverging the halves 1, 1,, so that they release into the transport device indicated in Fig. 3 can fall in the form of a ribbon cable 15. A next series of folding products to be stapled can then be taken over to the memory 4. 5, the staple 14 introduced in each stapling station 12, 13 is indicated, the position of the folded products 3 between the holders 11 and the carrier structures 1, 1ʹ also being apparent. The stapling plane up to which the staple closers 12 are retracted is denoted by 19 in FIG. 5. It goes without saying that, after the stapling has been carried out, the bar 10 must be raised again before the stapled folded products are fed to the cycle chains 6, 6 'against the direction of the arrow 7 of the transport device 15. Fig. 3 shows that the insertion of the staple closer 11 into the V-shaped open folding products 3 takes place in the central plane 20, which extends transversely to the transport direction 7 in an advantageous manner.

Gemäß Fig. 4 werden die Schienen 5 seitwärts in Richtung der Pfeile 16, 16ʹ in die Position 5ʹ gefahren, so daß die Zungen 2, 2ʹ aus dem Bereich der Falzprodukte kommen. Von unten her werden dann die Heftköpfe 13 in die Position 13ʹ bewegt.4, the rails 5 are moved sideways in the direction of arrows 16, 16ʹ in the position 5ʹ, so that the tongues 2, 2ʹ come from the area of the folded products. From below, the stitching heads 13 are then moved into position 13ʹ.

Die Taktketten 6, 6ʹ sind gemäß Fig. 3 um ein nicht mehr bezeichnetes Umlenkrad geführt und ihr Antrieb erfolgt jeweils über obere und untere Arme 21, 22 bzw. 21ʹ, 22ʹ. Diese Arme 21, 22 sind verschiebbar auf Führungen 23, 24 bzw. 23ʹ, 24ʹ angeordnet und werden durch Ketten 25, 25ʹ für die Zuführung der Falzprodukte in Richtung des Pfeiles 7 verschoben bzw. nach erfolgtem Heftvorgang in entgegengesetzter Richtung zur Abgabe der gehefteten Falzprodukte 3.The timing chains 6, 6ʹ are guided according to FIG. 3 around a deflection wheel, which is no longer designated, and they are driven via upper and lower arms 21, 22 and 21ʹ, 22ʹ, respectively. These arms 21, 22 are slidable on guides 23, 24 and 23ʹ, 24ʹ arranged and are moved by chains 25, 25ʹ for the supply of the folded products in the direction of arrow 7 or after the stapling process in the opposite direction to deliver the stapled folded products 3rd

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Hefteinrichtung können gleichzeitig auf engem Raum eine Vielzahl von Falzprodukten 3 geheftet werden. Wie Untersuchungen gezeigt haben, lassen sich bis zu 250 Falzprodukte gleichzeitg heften, wofür eine Länge von 15 Metern für die Hefteinrichtung benötigt wird. Praktikabel dürfte eine mittlere Ausbaustufe von 50 nebeneinander liegenden Heftstationen 12, 13 sein, wofür lediglich eine Länge von 3 Metern benötigt wird. Im Vergleich zu bekannten Hefteinrichtungen, beispielsweise bei einer Mehrfachanordnung der Hefteinrichtung gemäß DE-AS 19 49 769 würde sich bei einer gleichzeitigen Heftung von 50 Falzprodukten im DIN A4 Format bereits eine Länge von mindestens 15 Metern ergeben. Dies bedeutet, daß im Vergleich hierzu die erfindungsgemäße Hefteinrichtung lediglich ein Fünftel des Raumes beansprucht, verglichen mit dem Raumbedarf von nach bekannter Art und Weise aufgebauter Hefteinrichtungen.With the stapling device according to the invention, a large number of folded products 3 can be stapled simultaneously in a small space. As studies have shown, up to 250 folded products can be stapled simultaneously, which requires a length of 15 meters for the stapling device. A medium expansion stage of 50 stapling stations 12, 13 lying next to one another is likely to be practical, for which a length of only 3 meters is required. In comparison to known stapling devices, for example in a multiple arrangement of the stapling device according to DE-AS 19 49 769, a length of at least 15 meters would already result with a simultaneous stapling of 50 folded products in DIN A4 format. This means that, in comparison, the stapling device according to the invention takes up only a fifth of the space compared to the space requirement of stapling devices constructed in a known manner.
