Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for incorporating a stack of sheets in a cover having a Einbanmony with an existing on the inside of the adhesive strip, wherein the sheet stack is inserted into the cover so that the end face comes into contact with the adhesive strip, after which the cover with the Sheet stack pressed together by means of a pressing device and in this state an adhesive bond between the spine back and stack of sheets is made.
  • the invention further relates to a binding device for binding a stack of sheets in a cover with a binding back and an adhesive strip present on its inside, the binding device having a pressing device for compressing the cover and the stack of sheets.
  • Such covers are known for example from US 3,437,506, DE-PS-25 28 225, US 4,244,069, U 4,289,330, EP 0 140 197 B1 and GB 2 186 526 A.
  • Binding devices suitable for incorporation can be found in DE-AS-22 56 259, US-RE.28,758, US 3,973,787, US 4,129,471, US 4,141,100, DE 38 05 996 C2 and EP 0 581 394 B1. All binding devices are designed so that the combination of sheet stack and cover are inserted into an upwardly open Einstellschacht such that the outside of the cover back shows down. The binding back is placed on a bottom of the adjusting shaft heating plate and heated by this.
  • the binding device has a pressing device which compresses the combination and holds it in the upright position.
  • the pressing device is usually designed so that of the setting shaft limiting side walls at least one is displaceably guided relative to the other, so that the width of the Einstellschachtes changed and the combination between the two side walls can be kept pressed.
  • bindings are used in which the binding back and also the adhesive strip are wider than the adjoining end face of the designated sheet stack.
  • the combination of sheet stack and cover is inserted into the adjustment shaft of a binding device, in which both side walls are movable relative to each other for the purpose of abutment against the outsides of the cover lids.
  • a roller is arranged, which are suspended resiliently on the side walls.
  • German Patent Application 103 21 419.4 device has been improved in the meantime by a further invention, which is the subject of the also not previously published German patent application 10 2004 037 806.1 or European patent application 04 009 053.2.
  • this binding device the combination of cover and stack of sheets is set obliquely from above into a Einstellschacht with the cover back down and placed on a plate.
  • the plate is movably guided in the direction of the end face of the sheet stack from a starting position. After clamping the combination of cover and stack of sheets and thus during the exercise of the line pressure, the plate is moved in the direction of the end side of the sheet stack and thereby pressed the spine back with the adhesive strip to the stack of sheets.
  • WO 01/62512 A2 discloses a binding device in which a combination of sheet stack and cover with the back of the cover is inserted at the bottom into a setting shaft and then fixed above the back of the cover by means of clamping strips (compare the exemplary embodiments according to Figures 15E and 15F) and the description on page 13, line 6 to page 14, line 6).
  • clamping strips compact the exemplary embodiments according to Figures 15E and 15F
  • the CH 364 242 and the CH 333 541 disclose binding devices with terminal strips, which fix the cover above the cover back by pinching.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method that significantly reduces the cost of holding covers of different cover spine width. Another object is to design a device suitable for this purpose.
  • the first object is achieved in that the pressing device compresses the cover in such a way and thereby heated so that the cover is permanently deformed.
  • the basic idea of the invention is thus to increase the binding by the action of pressure and heat deform that he - starting from the back cover - adapts to the thickness of the sheet stack to be incorporated.
  • bindings can be used for a particular stack of sheets, the Einbanson is much wider than the sheet stack to be incorporated, so that sheet stack can be connected within a much larger Dikken Schemes. In relation to a specific thickness range, this results in a significantly smaller number of covers with different cover back widths, ie with a considerably smaller number of different covers, the relevant thickness spectrum is completely covered.
  • the pressing device exerts a line pressure on both sides of the binding parallel to and at a distance from the binding spine and the cover is heated via the line pressure, the heating preferably taking place exclusively via the line pressure application. It has proven to be advantageous that the cover is applied at a distance of 0.5 to 2 cm from the back cover with the line pressure, and expediently by belonging to the pressing device, protruding pressing strips.
  • the binding back and the end face of the sheet stack are pressed against each other in the manufacture of the adhesive bond with an additionally applied compressive force.
  • the adhesive strip is pressed against the stack of sheets, whereby the adhesive passes between the leaves of the sheet stack.
  • the compressive force should be applied to the back of the cover from the outside. This can be done over a wide area, for example by moving a plate in the direction of the end face of the stack of sheets while the binding is clamped. Alternatively, it is possible to apply the pressure force linearly progressively, for example by a roller or the like.
  • the inventive method is particularly suitable for covers in which an adhesive strip of a pressure-sensitive adhesive or a hot melt adhesive is used.
  • an adhesive strip of a pressure-sensitive adhesive or a hot melt adhesive is used.
  • it is more convenient to heat the hot melt adhesive to plasticizing temperature by heating the above-described plate through the spine.
  • the plate has a dual function in terms of pressure on the one hand and heating on the other.
  • an adhesive strip should be used whose width is at least 1.2 times the thickness of the sheet stack in the unmolded state to ensure that the outer leaves of the leaf stack are also involved.
  • the sheet stack is fanned by the compression so that the width of the end face of the sheet stack is greater than the thickness of the sheet stack in the non-compressed area. This is effected in particular by the line pressure application already described above.
  • the pressing means comprises heaters for heating the cover on both sides, preferably in such a way that two relative to each other and against each other movable pressing bars are provided which are attached to holding elements such that they have a gegeinate the holding elements projecting position also hold when pressing the cover and which are heated by the heater. Due to the linear heating of the moisture content in the cover is locally reduced and thereby achieved a permanent shaping in the sense that the cover cover then lie flat against the two flat sides of the sheet stack, regardless of the width of the cover spine.
  • the binding device has a Einstellschacht with Einstellö réelle, which is bounded on the inside by a support for the binding spine, wherein the pressing bars are arranged at a distance of 0.5 to 3 cm for support. In this way, the cover is wider than the sheet stack only in the immediately adjacent area to the binding spine.
  • the binding device has a pressure device for the pressing of the cover back on the sheet stack in its compression.
  • the pressing device may for example be a can be applied against the outside of the cover back press punches, which in turn is designed either as a roll over the cover spine press roll or as on the cover back surface aufdrückbare press plate. The latter is then movable between a starting position and an offset in the direction of a setting opening for setting a cover pressing position, preferably displaceable perpendicular to its pressing surface.
  • the insertion opening is - as is known - expediently open to the side, obliquely or vertically upwards.
  • the pressure plate should be reciprocated via a drive motor between the starting position and the pressing position. If the connection between cover and stack of sheets is to be stopped by means of a hotmelt adhesive, it is advantageous if the press plate is simultaneously provided with a heating device for plasticizing the adhesive strip.
  • both pressing bars are guided in such a manner that they can be moved relative to one another when the sheet stack is being pressed.
  • a simpler solution is that the one pressing bar device fixed and the other pressing bar is slidably mounted in the direction of a pressing bar and away from this again.
  • the movable pressing bar should be driven by a drive motor, for example an electric motor.
  • the binding device comprises a control device, via which the drive motor for the pressure plate and the drive motor for the pressing bar or the pressing bars are controllable such that after setting the combination of cover and stack of sheets first the pressing bar (s) moved together and then the press plate is placed in the pressed position. In this way, it is ensured that the combination of cover and stack of sheets is first fixed after setting in the setting shaft before the press plate is brought into the pressing position.
  • the binding device 1 shown in the figures comprises a housing 2 which is formed from a lower, in elevation rectangular bracket 3 and two side plates 4, 5, which are perpendicular to the two short end sides of the bracket 3 and therefore parallel to each other.
  • the side plates 4, 5 are rigidly connected to the console 3, for example by screwing or welding.
  • the two side plates 4, 5 extends a pressure plate 6, which is held in a holder 7, which is guided laterally.
  • the holder 7 is seated on the free end of a spindle drive 8, which is connected to an electric motor 9.
  • the electric motor 9 is seated in a recess 10 of the console 3 and is held there firmly.
  • the pressure plate 6 between a starting position (shown here) and a raised pressing position according to the double arrow A reciprocated, i. perpendicular to its pressing surface 11. This is slightly inclined with respect to the vertical.
  • a rod 12 is arranged, which extends parallel to the pressing plate 6 and between the two side plates 4, 5 is firmly clamped.
  • the rod 12 forms a cross-sectionally triangular pressing bar 13, which extends along the rod 12 above and parallel to the pressing plate 6.
  • a Preßschlitten 14 is provided, the rod 12 opposite end side also forms a pressing bar 15.
  • Both pressing strips 13, 15 extend over the entire length of the pressing plate 6 and lie in a plane which extends parallel to the pressing surface 11 of the pressing plate 6. In this plane and the Preßschlitten 14 is guided according to the double arrow B movable.
  • the pressing bars 13, 15 are each provided with an electrical resistance heating, which extend over the entire length of the pressing bars 13, 15.
  • the Preßschlitten 14 sits on a Preßschlittenbasis 16, which is firmly clamped between the side plates 4, 5 and is bent at its rear end upwards.
  • the press carriage 14 has at the bottom in the region of a recess of the Preßschlittenbasis 16 a rack (not visible), which meshes with a gear 17 which is rotatably mounted below the Preßschlittenbasis 16 about a parallel to the pressing bars 13, 15 extending axis.
  • the gear 17 is connected via a gear not shown here with a drive motor 18 which is disposed between the side plates 4, 5 and supported on a corresponding, not shown in detail here carrier.
  • Figure 3 shows the front side a combination 19 of a cover 20 and a sheet stack 21 set therein, which is to be connected to the cover 20.
  • the sheet stack 21 may have, for example, DIN A 4 format and consists of a plurality of congruent superimposed single sheets.
  • the cover 20 is composed of cover lids 22, 23, a binding back 24 connecting them at the bottom and a hot melt adhesive strip 25 applied to the inside of the cover back 24.
  • the sheet stack 21 rests with its bottom end face on the hot melt adhesive strip 25. This is - like the Einbanson 24 - formed substantially wider than the thickness of the sheet stack 21st
  • the pressing plate 6, the rod 12 and the press carriage 14 form an adjusting shaft 26, into which the cover 20 according to FIG. 3 can be inserted obliquely from above, with the sheet stack 21 inserted.
  • This is done - as in the known in the art binding devices - in such a way that the combination 19 of cover 20 and sheet stack 21 is set with the Einbanitati 24 at the bottom in the Einstellschacht 26 such that the binding back 24 flat against the pressing surface eleventh comes to the plant.
  • the binding process is initiated by first actuating the drive motor 18. This can, for example, automatically by a light barrier, the insertion of the combination 19 from cover 20 and sheet stack 21 is crossed, or be effected by pressing an operating button.
  • the drive motor 18 is set in such a rotational movement that the Preßschlitten 14 is moved in the direction of the rod 12. This has the consequence that the combination 19 of sheet stack 20 and cover 21 between the pressing bars 13, 15 is clamped about 8 mm above the pressing surface 11, and so strong that the sheet stack 21 is fanned on the opposite side of the adhesive strip, so that the sheet stack 21 at this end face has a greater width than above the pressing bars 13, 15, that is, where it is not pressed.
  • the pressure plate 6 is provided with a heating device in the form of an electrical resistance heating, so that not only covers with a pressure-sensitive adhesive strip on the inside of the cover back, but also covers 20 can be used for the binding process, the Einbanson 24 are provided on the inside with a hot melt adhesive strip 25 ,
  • the control of the heater can be done in a conventional manner, i.
  • the heating device is also switched on. After sufficient heating of the cover back 24 and its pressing against the sheet stack 21 of the Preßschlitten 14 is moved back to its initial position shown, so that the combination 19 of cover 20 and sheet stack 21 are removed and can be parked on a cooling stand standing.
  • the heater in the press plate 6 is either switched off or switched to a stand-by mode, if several Einbindevor réelle to be performed in a row.
  • the Einstellschacht 26 may be extended upwards, for example, by one of the rod 12 perpendicular to the pressing surface 11 high Support plate. In this way, it is not necessary that the combination 19 of cover 20 and sheet stack 21 is held until pinching by hand. In addition, it is avoided by such an extension of the adjusting shaft 26 that this combination falls out after retraction of the press carriage 14 to its original position from the binding device 1.
