Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for loading a inserting machine for printed products according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Known inserting machines are loaded by feeders arranged above the conveying path of the bag-like receiving organs which follow and which have a conveyor or a stack magazine.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device which is described in the preamble of patent claim 1 To create a type that allows the inserting machine to be assigned a corresponding feeder in an ergonomically operable manner.
  • the printed products can be fed to the pockets of a inserting machine in a simple and less tiring procedure.
  • the feeder stack can also be loaded by a transporter or another conveyor, such as conveyor belts.
  • the flat belts of the device according to the invention can be arranged over an axis of a deflection roller arranged above the path, about an axis mounted approximately parallel to the conveying direction of the inserting machine, and then approximately lowered by the conveying-effective surfaces or formed runs of the flat belts that are rotated together by approximately 90 ° ⁇ Form the guide gap running downwards.
  • This constructive measure allows simple and effective formation of the conveyor line.
  • the flat belts form an undershot conveying section with the gripping drum. It is provided that the flat belts are arranged approximately in the middle of the drum width and have approximately their deflection radius.
  • the rear end of the conveyor line in the conveying direction is expediently designed as a feed opening, which is formed by the flat belts and communicates with the stack magazine or the delivery end of the feeder and allows a smooth transfer of a printed product from the feeder to the conveyor line.
  • a feeder of the conveyor section can be connected at its front end to an undershot conveyor channel formed by a deflection roller and the flat belts.
  • an undershot conveyor channel the front end of which is designed as a feed opening communicating with the discharge end of the gripping drum, has proven to be advantageous.
  • This latter embodiment of the device according to the invention provides that the folded edges of the printed products located in the stack magazine or the one edge of a card or the like are turned towards the conveying path of the inserting machine.
  • a guide limited by guide surfaces can be provided on the rear sides of the conveyor line formed by the flat belts be provided, by which the lifting off of the lateral areas of the insert products, in particular on the deflection roller, can be prevented.
  • the guide on the deflection roller is advantageously designed with an upper and a lower guide surface and extends approximately to the conveying end of the deflection roller.
  • the guide gap can be set in a position inclined against the conveying direction of the insertion machine.
  • An adjustable guide element can be attached to the side of the conveyor section, which is provided for aligning the insert products in front of the pockets.
  • the device according to the invention is designed to be displaceable, so that it can be optionally delivered along the conveying path of the inserting machine.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic longitudinal section of the device according to FIG Fig. 1 and
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic longitudinal sectional illustration of an alternative embodiment of the device according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows the conveying path 1 of a partly illustrated inserting machine 2 and the conveying direction of the printed products 4 which are opened in the following pockets 3.
  • a device 5 with a feeder 6 for loading the inserting machine 2 or the pockets 3 along the conveying path 1 is fed to the conveying path 1 from the side.
  • the conveying flow of the printed products 4 takes place from the feeder 6 approximately perpendicular to the conveying direction of the inserting machine 2, the infeed ⁇ Plug-in products 7 can be removed from the underside of a stack 8, for example, placed by hand.
  • the mode of operation and the structural design of the feeder 6 can be assumed to be known and therefore does not require a new description.
  • Connected to the discharge end of the feeder 6 is an endless flat belt 9, 10, which consists of two conveyor belts abutting one another with the running surfaces and rotating on deflection rollers and forming a conveyor section 11 ending above the conveyor path of the inserting machine.
  • the insert products 7 given off by the feeder 6 pass between the tightly abutting running surfaces of the flat belts 9, 10, which are arranged in the region of the conveying path 11 above an axis 12 above the conveying path 1, about an axis 12 of an approximately parallel to the conveying direction of the inserting machine 2 Deflection roller 13 are guided. Thereafter, the flat belts 9, 10 are rotated about 90 ° on a common conveyor section 22, so that its end which is effective in conveying runs at least approximately parallel to the longitudinal sides of the openings of the pockets 3 of the inserting machine 2 and is directed approximately perpendicularly towards the latter. After the end of the conveyor section 22, the flat belts 9, 10 are separated and are individually returned to the discharge end of the feeder 6 via deflection rollers.
  • the superimposed flat belts 9, 10 form an undershot conveying channel on the gripping drum 14 of the feeder 6 downstream of the stack 8, the one flat belt 9 being fed via the gripping drum 14 and the other re flat belts 10 are guided from the side to the gripping drum 14.
  • the front end of the conveyor section 11 thus formed is characterized by an intake opening 18 communicating with the stacking magazine 17.
  • the folded edges of the insert products 7 are created in a manner of arrangement that is averted from the inserting machine 2.
  • FIG 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the device 2 according to the invention, in which the conveying path 11 runs undershot around a deflecting roller 20 which follows the gripper drum 14 downstream and the folded edges of the insert products 7 in the stack magazine 17 face the inserting machine 2.
  • the flat belts 9, 10 in turn form a feed opening 18 on the gripping drum 14, to which the conveyor path 11 connects.
  • the insert products 7 or their lateral overhang supporting guides 21 are arranged on the conveyor line 11. 2 both according to FIG. 3.
  • the version according to FIG. 2 has guides 21 in the subordinate area of the conveyor section 11 on the gripping drum 14 and on the flat section in front of the deflection roller 13, where the insertion products 7 are guided between an upper and a lower guide surface until they leave the deflection roller 13.
  • the conveying section 22 is set in a position inclined counter to the conveying direction of the inserting machine 2.
  • Guide elements acting on the insertion products 7 are arranged on the side of the conveyor section 22.
  • the device 2 is designed such that it can be moved along the conveying path 1.
