Definitions

  • the newspaper container loading apparatus forms a part of a newspaper live storage buffer which is an automatic system for handling newspapers as they leave the printing press whereby a reserve supply can be maintained that is capable of compensating for unintentional shut-down of the press as well as other devices downstream of the storage buffer which effect further processing of said newspapers.
  • United States Patent 3,881,716 discloses an apparatus for handling newspapers which includes an accumulator for receiving newspapers from the press and storing them in static form in the event the stuffers or other downstream devices should stop and interrupt the flow of newspapers that normally bypass the accumulator.
  • the newspaper container loading apparatus comprising the invention utilizes a mechanism for forming stacks of newspapers and is considered a definite advance in the art, for said mechanism is effective in delivering the stacks to a carrier conveying device which lowers said stacks into containers.
  • the loaded containers are automatically placed in the buffer system's conveying apparatus where they are advanced to the systems unloading apparatus whereat the newspapers are removed from the containers for further processing in the same order in which they were printed.
  • the newspaper container loading apparatus includes a loader housing operatively connected to a printing press via a stream conveyor and with the conveying apparatus of a newspaper live storage buffer.
  • This loader housing is provided with an indexing unit for moving the containers individually from the buffer's conveying apparatus to a newspaper loading position and then return the loaded containers to said conveying apparatus.
  • the containers are operatively associated with upper and lower carrier conveying devices in which the upper device is provided with a plurality of spaced tine members that are caused to travel in a generally elliptical pathway and which are adapted to receive newspapers emanating from the printing press via the stream conveyor.
  • the tine members are adapted to support the newspapers in superposed relation thereon defining stacks which are lowered by the tines to a position where said stacks are transferred to the lower carrier conveying device.
  • This conveying device is provided with a pair of spaced paddle members that are driven in an elliptical pathway to a position for receiving the stacks of newspapers from the upper carrier conveying device and then lowering them into the container.
  • the newspaper container loading apparatus comprising the invention is contained within a housing identified generally by numeral 10 and by means of a stream conveyor 12 is operatively connected to a printing press diagramatically shown and identified by numeral 14. Additionally the housing 10 is operatively connected with a transfer conveyor 16 that in turn is operatively associated with an endless conveyor 18.
  • This endless conveyor 18 is provided with a plurality of carrier elements 20 that depend from a driven chain (not shown) for effecting travel or said carrier elements about the entire pathway of said endless conveyor.
  • each carrier element 20 is capable of supporting a pair of container members 22 and are adapted to release said container members.onto roller members 24 which form the upper portion of the transfer conveyor 16.
  • the container members are caused to travel in the direction of the indicating arrow 26 in Fig. 1.
  • the container members 22 traveling in this direction are caused to enter the housing 10 as at 28 and when they leave the opposite side of said housing they will have been loaded with superposed newspapers 30 in a manner now to be described.
  • the container members As the container members enter the housing 10, they are individually received by an indexing rotor that is identified generally in Fig. 2 by numeral 32.
  • This indexing rotor 32 is effective in individual removal of each container from the transfer conveyor 16 and of supporting them in a newspaper loading position as at 34 in Figs. 2-5.
  • the newspaper loading position 34 positions a container below a pair of spaced front and rear stack guides 36 and 38 respectively.
  • These stack guides 36 and 38 are operatively associated with an upper carrier conveying device that is depicted generally in Figs. 2-5 by numeral 40.
  • the conveying device 40 is provided with a pair of spaced track elements 42 (one only shown) that are operatively connected to a gear reduction drive motor 44 by means of drive chains 46 and 48 (Fig. 2) that in turn are connected to upper and lower drive shafts 50 and 52 respectively.
  • these drive shafts 50 and 52 are operatively connected to chains that drive carrier elements with cam followers guide peripheral channels in track elements 42 and which are adapted to support a plurality of tine members 54 (two only shown in Fig. 2). With the tine members having one end attached to the carriers which ride in the peripheral grooves, they are caused to move in a clockwise direction as viewed in Figs. 2-5.
  • the end of the stream conveyor 12 most remote from the printing press 14 is operatively associated with the upper portion of the conveying device 40 and is adapted to release the newspapers traveling in shingled relation thereon onto the tines 54 where they form stacks of superposed newspapers 30.
  • a stack sensor 56 is located adjacent the area where the newspapers leave the stream conveyor and are placed one on top of the other on the tines 54.
  • This stack sensor 56 is effective in controlling the height of each stack of newspapers formed on a set of tines 54 so that a tine with a predetermined number of papers is caused to be lowered and another tine moved into position to receive and form another stack.
  • each set of tines 54 When each set of tines 54 is lowered with its stack of newspapers it is caused to present said stack to a lower carrier conveying device that is depicted generally in Figs. 2-5 by numeral 58.
  • This conveying device 58 is provided with aligned and vertically spaced sprocket members 60 and 62 which are interconnected by a drive claim 64.
  • the upper sprocket as shown in Fig. 2 is identified by numeral 60 and is operatively connected to a drive motor 66 which is effective in causing the drive chain 64 to travel in an elliptical pathway about the sprockets 60 and 62.
  • This drive chain is of the endless type and has a pair of spaced paddle members 68 and 70 mounted thereon and extending outwardly therefrom their free ends are also caused to travel in an elliptical pathway depicted by the phantom line 72 in Figs. 2-5.
  • the container members 22 are fabricated with one side having an open channel extending the full length thereof and with a U-shaped bottom which permits the paddle members to pass completely through a container in its loading position as said paddles are caused to move in their elliptical pathway.
  • paddle member 70 is in position for receiving a stack of newspapers from tine member 54.
  • the stack is resting on paddle member 70 which has been lowered where it supports the stack in the upper portion of the container member 22 and another stack has been formed on another set of tines 54.
  • a sufficient number of stacks have been formed to fill the container member 22 and paddle member 70 has passed through and beyond the bottom of said container while paddle member 68 is approaching the position for receiving the next stack to be formed on yet another tine member 54.
  • the indexing rotor 32 When the container member has been filled as shown in Fig. 5, the indexing rotor 32 returns it to the transfer conveyor 16 and simultaneously places another empty container member in loading position 34 where the loading cycle is again repeated.
