Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for forming books according to the preamble of Claim 1 and to a collating table for forming books according to the preamble of Claim 2.
  • each book is formed by transferring individual signatures from respective stacks to a continuous conveyor which advances in front of the stacks.
  • Prior art collating tables are able to produce books composed of only a limited number of signatures.
  • the production of books with a high number of signatures thus requires very long machines.
  • the problem at the basis of the present invention is to devise a method and a machine able to overcome these disadvantages.
  • a collating table is generally indicated 1 for collating signatures intended to form a book 2.
  • the book 2 is composed of twelve signatures, indicated by the reference numerals 3 to 14.
  • the collating table 1 includes a line 16 of compartments in a framework 15, of which a first compartment is indicated 17, a second compartment 18 and a third compartment 19.
  • the compartments 17, 18 and 19 are intended to house respective stacks 20, 21 and 22 of signatures.
  • each of the stacks 20, 21 and 22 is constituted by a plurality of groups of signatures, indicated 23, 24 and 25 respectively.
  • Each of the groups 23, 24 and 25 comprises four signatures and is supplied by a respective folding machine of the parallel type, not shown as its entirely conventional.
  • each group 23 comprises the signatures 3 to 6
  • each group 24 comprises the signatures 7 to 10
  • each group 25 comprises the signatures 11 to 14.
  • the machine 1 includes a linear conveyor, of the chain type which extends along the line 16 of compartments.
  • a plurality 27 of grippers is arranged in the framework 15, with a first gripper 28 operating at the compartment 17, a second gripper 29 operating at the compartment 18 and a third gripper 30 operating at the compartment 19.
  • grippers are mounted in the framework 15 for reciprocating movement between the compartments and the conveyor under the action of drive means generally indicated 31 to transfer the signatures one at a time from the compartments to the conveyor.
  • the conveyor 26 has drive means, generally indicated 32, which are independent of the drive means 31 for the grippers.
  • the drive means 32 for the conveyor are of the so-called intermittent type and advance the conveyor stepwise, with intermittent pauses, these pauses being sufficiently long to enable the grippers operating in each compartment to transfer four signatures to the conveyor, one at a time, from each group of signatures in each stack.
  • each gripper 28, 29, 30 reciprocates four times along the direction of the double arrow 33, under the action of the drive means 31, so as to transfer all four signatures of its associated group 23, 24 and 25, that is, to be precise, all four signatures 3 to 6, 7 to 10 and 11 to 14, their respective compartments to the conveyor.
  • the conveyor is held still for the time required for the grippers to transfer the four signatures from the groups.
  • the conveyor is advanced one step by the drive means 32 and then stopped, ready for the grippers to carry out a new operating cycle.
  • the stepwise advance of the conveyor is indicated by the broken arrow 34.
  • the main advantage of the invention consists in the possibility of forming books with a large number of signatures with collating tables of standard length, or of forming books having a standard number of signatures with unusually compact machines.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that it makes groups of signatures supplied by so-called parallel folding machines immediately available for collating into books.
