Abstract

The printed matter production process applies to products (3) made from folded sheets (2). These sheets are partly glued to a cover (4) on the folded edges. For feeding in and glue application to perforations in the fold region, the sheets are moved forward on a saddle shaped conveying or collection sector (1), riding on the saddle.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Druckerzeugnissen, wie Zeitschriften, Broschuren oder dgl., aus gefalzten Druckbogen, durch teilweises Bekleben der Druckbogen an den Falzkanten zu einem gebundenen Rücken.The invention relates to a method for producing Printed matter such as magazines, brochures or the like, from folded printed sheets, by partially pasting the printed sheets at the folded edges to a bound back.

Es sind Vorgänge der eingangs beschriebenen Art bekannt, bei denen der Falz der Druckbogen von innen nach aussen auf seiner Länge mehrmals durchstochen wird, so dass die Randpartien der Durchstiche der einzelnen Blätter sich in die nächstfolgenden durchstochenen Blätter verlagern. Anschliessend werden die Druckbogen mit der Flachseite aneinanderliegend zusammengetragen und als lose Buchblöcke in einen Klebebinder überführt. An dem aus den Klammern vorstehenden Buchrücken wird durch eine bürstenartige Walze vorerst Kaltleim eingerieben, der in die Durchstiche dringt. Danach folgt ein Heissleimauftrag durch eine weitere Walze. Dieses Verfahren wir in der Fachwelt auch burst binding bezeichnet. Processes of the type described at the outset are known for which the fold of the printed sheets from the inside out on his Length is pierced several times, so that the edges of the Punctures of the individual sheets are in the next following Relocate pierced leaves. Then the Sheet printed with the flat side together and transferred as loose book blocks into a perfect binder. On the spine protruding from the brackets is replaced by a brush-like roller first rubbed cold glue into the Punctures penetrate. This is followed by hot glue application another roller. This is what we do in the professional world called burst binding.

Bei einem anderen, als notch binding bezeichnetes Verfahren, werden nach dem Fräsen und/oder Egalisieren im Klebebinder quer zum Rücken eines Buchblockes verlaufende Nuten eingefräst, die anschliessend mit einem Leimauftrag ausgefüllt werden.
Alternativ wird der Leimauftrag auch in zwei Schritten durchgeführt; beispielsweise ein erster Kaltleimauftrag nach dem Fräsen bzw. Egalisieren des Buchblockrückens und auf die anschliessende Trocknungsphase werden quer verlaufende Nuten in den beleimten Buchrücken gefräst, die durch einen Heissleimauftrag am Buchrücken ausgefüllt werden.
In another method, known as notch binding, after milling and / or leveling, grooves running in the perfect binder are milled transversely to the back of a book block, which are then filled with a glue application.
Alternatively, the glue application is carried out in two steps; For example, a first cold glue application after milling or leveling the book block spine and on the subsequent drying phase, transverse grooves are milled in the glued book spine, which are filled by hot glue application on the book spine.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein auf eine gegenüber den eingangs beschriebenen Verfahren alternative Verfahrensweise herstellbares, gleichwertiges klebegebundenes Druckerzeugnis zu schaffen.It is an object of the present invention, one on one the procedure described in the introduction alternative procedure producible, equivalent adhesive-bound printed product to accomplish.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die für ein Druckerzeugnis bestimmten Druckbogen zur Anbringung und anschliessenden Beleimung einer im Falzbruch vorgesehenen Perforation auf einer sattelförmigen Förderstrecke rittlings aufliegend fortbewegt werden.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the printing sheet intended for attachment to a printed product and subsequent gluing of a provided in the fold break Perforation astride a saddle-shaped conveyor line to be moved overlying.

Die Erfindung führt auf einem neuen Weg direkt zum Ziel und es lassen sich auf diese Weise auf der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke ein oder mehrere Druckbogen zu einem Druckerzeugnis verarbeiten.The invention leads directly to the goal and it in a new way can be in this way on the conveyor or collection line Process one or more printed sheets into a printed product.

Vorteilhaft werden die Druckbogen auf der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke mit einer wenigstens annähernd die Falzhöhe durchsetzenden Stanz- oder Schlitzperforation versehen, die eine durchgehende Klebeverbindung erlauben. The printed sheets on the conveyor or collecting line are advantageous with an at least approximately penetrating the fold height Punch or slit perforation, the one allow continuous adhesive connection.

Besonders günstig erweist es sich, wenn die Falzkante des innersten Bogens eines Druckerzeugnisses von der Perforierung ausgenommen wird bzw. keine Perforation aufweist, wodurch eine durchgehende Verankerung aller Bogen gegenseitig erzielt werden kann.It proves to be particularly favorable if the fold edge of the innermost Sheet of a printed product from perforation is excluded or has no perforation, whereby a continuous anchoring of all arches can be achieved can.

D.h., ob ein oder mehrere Druckbogen rittlings übereinander auf der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke zur Perforierung aufgesetzt werden, der erste Druckbogen eines Druckerzeugnisses weist einen innersten Bogen auf, dessen Falzkante perforationsfrei ist.That is, whether one or more printed sheets astride each other placed on the conveyor or collecting line for perforation the first printed sheet of a printed product has one innermost sheet, the fold edge of which is perforation-free is.

Vorzugsweise werden die für ein Druckerzeugnis auf der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke gesammelten Druckbogen gemeinsam perforiert, wodurch auf eine rationelle Weise ein ununterbrochener Injektionskanal für den Leim entsteht.Preferably, those for a printed product on the conveyor or Collecting line perforated printed sheets collectively, making in a rational way an uninterrupted Injection channel for the glue is created.

Alternativ kann bei der Möglichkeit einer perforationsfreien Falzkante des innersten Bogens dieser beim Sammelvorgang auf der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke als erster separat zugeführt werden.Alternatively, with the possibility of a perforation-free Folding edge of the innermost sheet of this during the gathering process the conveyor or collecting section is the first to be fed separately become.

Zur Anbringung eines Umschlages ist es zweckmässig, wenn den beleimten Druckbogen am Rücken ein Umschlag rittlings zugeführt und angepresst wird.To attach an envelope, it is useful if the an envelope fed astride the glued printed sheet on the back and is pressed.

Zur Optimierung der Umschlagbefestigung am Rücken der gebundenen Druckbogen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn vor dem Anbringen des Umschlages der Rücken beleimt wird. To optimize the envelope attachment on the back of the bound Printed sheet, it is advantageous if before attaching the Cover the back is glued.

Der innerste Druckbogen eines Druckerzeugnisses könnte auch am Schluss eines Sammelvorgangs für ein Druckerzeugnis zugeführt werden, indem der Abschnitt einer Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke, der mit diesem Druckbogen beschickt wird, tiefer angeordnet ist und die zuvor gesammelten Druckbogen am Ende der Sammelstrecke über diesen geschoben werden.The innermost sheet of a printed product could also be on End of a collection process for a printed product by the section of a conveyor or collection route, which is loaded with this printed sheet, arranged lower and the previously collected printed sheets at the end of the collecting section be pushed over this.

Zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens wird eine Einrichtung vorgeschlagen, die aus wenigstens einem Druckbogenanleger besteht, dem entlang einer Förder- und Sammelstrecke eine Bindevorrichtung nachgeschaltet ist, und die sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass die Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke zur rittlingsweisen Aufnahme bzw. Sammeln von Druckbogen sattelförmig ausgebildet und zwischen dem Druckbogenanleger und der Beleimvorrichtung eine auf die Falzkanten der Druckbogen einwirkende Perforationsvorrichtung angeordnet ist, wobei sowohl gestochene wie auch gestanzte oder geschlitzte Perforationen zur Beleimung vorgesehen sind.To carry out the method according to the invention, a Device proposed, consisting of at least one sheet feeder exists along a conveyor and collection route a binding device is connected downstream, and thereby distinguishes that the conveyor or collection route to astride, recording or collecting printed sheets in a saddle shape trained and between the sheet feeder and the Glueing device acting on the folded edges of the printed sheets Perforation device is arranged, both pierced as well as punched or slotted perforations are provided for gluing.

Zweckmässig ist die Perforationsvorrichtung oberhalb der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke angeordnet, sodass eine unmittelbare Bearbeitung der Falzkanten möglich ist.The perforation device is expediently arranged above the conveying or collecting section, so that a direct one Machining of the folded edges is possible.

Die Perforationsvorrichtung kann in ihrem Wirkbereich mit den geförderten Druckbogen mitlaufend ausgebildet sein.The perforation device can in its effective range with the funded printed sheets to be designed to follow.

Vorzugsweise ist die Perforationstiefe an der Perforationsvorrichtung einstellbar, durch Anheben und Absenken des entsprechenden Perforationswerkzeuges.The perforation depth is preferably on the perforation device adjustable, by raising and lowering the corresponding Perforation tool.

Anschliessend wird die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung, auf die bezüglich aller in der Beschreibung nicht näher erwähnten Einzelheiten ausdrücklich verwiesen wird, anhand eines Beispiels erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt schematisch einen erfindungsgemässen Sammelvorgang für die Herstellung eines Druckerzeugnisses.Subsequently, the invention with reference to the Drawing on which regarding all in the description is not explicitly referenced details, based on an example explained. The single figure shows schematically one according to the invention Collection process for the production of a printed product.

Eine mit a) bezeichnete Stelle in der einzigen Figur vermittelt die letzte Sammelposition, der auf einer horizontalen, sattelförmigen Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke 1 rittlings aufeinanderliegenden Druckbogen 2, die zuvor von entlang der Förder- und Sammelstrecke 1 angeordneten Druckbogenanlegern zugeführt worden sind. Im vorliegenden Fall weist das an dieser Stelle lose resp. ungebundene Druckerzeugnis 3 drei Druckbogen 2 auf. Die Fortbewegung der Druckbogen 2 bzw. der Druckerzeugnisse 3 auf der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke 1 in Pfeilrichtung F erfolgt durch jeweils einen an der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke 1 hochstehenden, an einer umlaufenden Kette oder dgl. befestigten Mitnehmer (nicht dargestellt), der die Druckbogen 2 nach dem Auftreffen auf der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke 1 an der hinteren Kante erfasst. Dieses Fördersystem ist bei sog. Sammelheftern bekannt, sodass eine spezielle Erörterung dieses Vorgangs nicht notwendig ist. Nach dem Sammelvorgang erreichen die auf der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke 1 rittlings aufeinanderliegenden Druckbogen 2 die Stelle b), an welcher die an den Falzkanten auf ihrer Länge ineinander gepressten Druckbogen 2 durch ein von oben oder von unten wirkendes Werkzeug perforiert werden, so dass senkrechte Kanäle entstehen, durch die an der Stelle c) von oben, d.h. von ausserhalb der Falze oder von unten, d.h. von innerhalb der Falze, Leim injiziert wird. Die Leiminjektion erfolgt bei zusammengepressten Falzen der Druckbogen 2, damit ein massgerechtes bzw. dosiertes Eindrücken von Leim durchgeführt werden kann. A point marked with a) is conveyed in the single figure the last collecting position, which is on a horizontal, saddle-shaped conveyor or collecting section 1 astride each other Sheet 2 previously from along the conveyor and Collection line 1 arranged printed sheet feeders have been. In the present case, this indicates at this point loose or unbound printed product 3 three printed sheets 2. The movement of the printed sheets 2 or the printed products 3 takes place on the conveyor or collecting section 1 in the direction of arrow F. by one at the conveyor or collecting section 1 upright, attached to an encircling chain or the like Carrier (not shown) that the printing sheet 2 after the impact on the conveyor or collection line 1 on the captured rear edge. This conveyor system is for so-called saddle stitchers known, so a special discussion of this Operation is not necessary. After the collecting process, they reach the conveyor or collecting section 1 straddle 2 the Point b), at which the fold edges along their length press sheet 2 pressed into each other by a from above or from perforated tool are perforated so that vertical Channels arise through which at point c) from above, i.e. from outside the fold or from below, i.e. from within the fold, glue is injected. The glue injection takes place at compressed folds of the printed sheets 2, so that a true to size or dosed pressing in of glue can.

In den Kanälen expandiert der zugeführte Leim seitlich und verbindet die einzelnen Bogen an den Rändern der die Falze durchsetzenden Oeffnungen.
Damit eine kurze Leim-Aushärtezeit bzw. Abbindezeit zur Erzielung einer rasch eintretenden Formstabilität am Rücken des Druckerzeugnisses erreicht werden kann, wird der Druck auf die Falze über eine kurze Zeit, z.B. während dem Weitertransport, aufrecht erhalten. Zu diesem Zweck kann das Leiminjiziergerät von einer die Druckbogen zusammenpressenden Spannvorrichtung, die das Druckerzeugnis 3 weiterhin begleitet, trennbar sein.
The supplied glue expands laterally in the channels and connects the individual sheets at the edges of the openings penetrating the folds.
So that a short glue hardening time or setting time can be achieved in order to achieve a rapidly occurring form stability on the back of the printed product, the pressure on the folds is maintained for a short time, for example during further transport. For this purpose, the gluing device can be separable from a tensioning device which compresses the printed sheets and which continues to accompany the printed product 3.

Im Anschluss an die mit c) bezeichnete Beleimungsstation folgt nach dem Lösen der Spannvorrichtung die Stelle d) an der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke 1, wo mittels eines nicht ersichtlichen Anlegers ein Umschlag 4 am Rücken des klebegebundenen Druckerzeugnisses 3 aufgelegt wird. Vorzugsweise durchläuft das Druckerzeugnis 3 vor dem Auflegen des Umschlages 4 erneut eine Leimauftragsstation (bekannt, jedoch nicht ersichtlich), damit der Rücken zur Befestigung des Umschlages 4 ausreichend Leim aufweist.This is followed by the gluing station labeled c) after loosening the clamping device, point d) on the conveyor or collecting section 1, where by means of a not visible Investor an envelope 4 on the back of the perfect bound Printed product 3 is placed. Preferably runs through the printed product 3 again before placing the envelope 4 a glue application station (known, but not visible), so that the back for attaching the envelope 4 is sufficient Has glue.

Anschliessend wird der Umschlag 4, von einer Pressvorrichtung 5 auf dem Rücken des letzten Druckbogens 2 angedrückt.Then the envelope 4, from a press device 5 pressed on the back of the last sheet 2.

Auf eine ähnliche Weise können auch Druckerzeugnisse 3 hergestellt werden, die aus nur gerade einem Druckbogen 2 bestehen, wobei die gewünschte Perforation dem Druckbogen 2 schon nach dem Druck resp. vor dem Vereinzeln im Anleger vermittelt werden könnte.Printed products 3 can also be produced in a similar manner that consist of just one sheet 2, the desired perforation following the printed sheet 2 the pressure resp. be mediated in the investor before being separated could.

Eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit ist der Perforierung und Beleimung der Falze beizumessen, insbesondere soweit sie die Durchdringung des Leimes und die Verbindung der Bogen untereinander betrifft.Special attention is paid to perforation and gluing attach to the folds, especially as far as they are penetration of glue and the connection of the bows to each other concerns.

Zur Meidung einer Verschmutzung der Förder- und Sammelstrecke mit Leim, ist diese im Beleimungsbereich durch eine Abdeckung zu schützen; beispielsweise dadurch, dass der innerste Bogen des innersten Druckbogens eines Druckerzeugnisses von einer Perforierung verschont bleibt. Dieser innerste Druckbogen 2 könnte nach dem Druck entsprechend perforiert werden, oder es könnte ein innerster, unperforierter Bogen eines Druckbogens durch einen ersten Anleger der Förder- und Sammelstrecke zugeführt werden.To avoid contamination of the conveyor and collection line with glue, this is in the gluing area through a cover to protect; for example in that the innermost arch the innermost sheet of a printed product from one Perforation remains spared. This innermost printed sheet 2 could be perforated accordingly after printing, or it could be an innermost, imperforate sheet of a printed sheet fed by a first feeder of the conveyor and collection route become.

Aufgrund der geringen Bogendicke scheint die Perforation eines Druckbogens mit Ausnahme des innersten Bogens auf der Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke 1 nicht ohne besondere zusätzliche Vorkehrungen zuverlässig durchführbar zu sein.Due to the small arch thickness, the perforation appears to be one Printing sheet with the exception of the innermost sheet on the conveyor or Collection route 1 not without special additional precautions to be reliably feasible.

Bei der Beleimung der Falze eines aus wenigstens einem Druckbogen 2 bestehenden Druckerzeugnisse 3 sind erstere aufeinanderzupressen, damit der Leim nicht zwischen die Bogenschenkel austreten kann.When gluing the folds one of at least one printed sheet 2 existing printed products 3 are to be pressed together, so that the glue does not get between the bow legs can leak.

Alternativ könnte der innerste Druckbogen 2 eines Druckerzeugnisses 3 auch am Schluss der Sammelstrecke zugeführt werden, wobei die zuvor gesammelten Druckbogen 2 von der Förder- und Sammelstrecke 1 abzuheben oder auf den innersten Druckbogen 2 aufzulegen wären.Alternatively, the innermost printed sheet 2 of a printed product could 3 are also fed to the collecting section at the end, the previously collected printed sheets 2 from the conveyor and Lift off collection route 1 or onto innermost printed sheet 2 would have to be hung up.

Das Anbringen eines Umschlages 4 könnte nach der Beleimung der Druckbogen 2 oder gemeinsam mit diesen auf der Förder- und Sammelstrecke 1 erfolgen, wobei ein separates Anbringen das nachträgliche Auftragen von Leim an dem Rücken der beleimten Druckbogen notwendig machen könnte.The attachment of an envelope 4 could after the glueing Sheet 2 or together with these on the conveyor and Collection route 1 take place, with a separate attachment the subsequent application of glue on the back of the glued Printing sheet could be necessary.

Eine Einrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens besteht aus wenigstens einem Druckbogenanleger, dem entlang einer Förder- bzw. Sammelstrecke 1 eine Beleimvorrichtung nachgeschaltet ist, wobei zur Fortbewegung der auf der Förder- und Sammelstrecke 1 rittlingsweise aufgesetzten Druckbogen 2 umlaufende Greifer oder Mitnehmer vorgesehen sind, die die Druckbogen 2 an ihrem rückwärtigen Ende erfassen und nach dem Sammeln an eine Perforationsvorrichtung zum Durchlöchern oder -stanzen übergeben.
Sowohl das Perforieren wie das Beleimen erfolgt bei zusammengepressten Falzen durch eine Niederhaltevorrichtung.
A device for carrying out the method according to the invention consists of at least one printing sheet feeder, which is followed by a gluing device along a conveying or collecting section 1, wherein for the movement of the printing sheets 2 astride on the conveying and collecting section 1 revolving grippers or drivers are provided, which capture the printed sheets 2 at their rear end and, after collection, transfer them to a perforation device for perforating or punching.
Both perforating and gluing are carried out by a hold-down device when the folds are pressed together.
