Definitions

  • the invention relates to a saddle stitcher with a stapling station, at least one folding sheet feeder, one regarding a transport and stitching line at the rear collecting chain and a front collecting chain for the transport of Folded sheets along the transport and stapling line extends along the folded sheet feeder and through the stapling station, with the rear and front header chains run parallel at least in the area of the folding sheet feeder.
  • Generic saddle stitchers are known. From folding sheet feeders individual folded sheets from a stack there isolated, opened and placed on the collection chains.
  • a guide bar is arranged between the collecting chains, whose upper section is designed in a cutting shape and whose ridge line defines the transport and stitching line. Together with the guide bar, the collection chains form one essentially roof-shaped overlay on which the folded sheets astride. To the on the collection chains stored folding sheet even at high transport speeds They run securely and are evenly loaded Collection chains or their drivers in front of and behind the Guide bar, so that a folded folded sheet at the same time is grasped on both legs.
  • Folded sheets are through the front and the back Collection chain transported to a stapling station in which folded sheets in the fold with the help of a wire clip to be stapled.
  • a stapling station in which folded sheets in the fold with the help of a wire clip to be stapled.
  • the collecting chains arranged stitching heads and between the collecting chains instead of the guide bar arranged clincher boxes the free ends of the stitching heads through the folded sheets Bend the pierced wire clips.
  • the stitched folded sheets from the collection chains for further processing, for example trimming and delivery.
  • the aim of the invention is to make the stapling station accessible and the folding sheet in the area of the stapling station improved become.
  • this is a saddle stitcher according to the preamble of claim 1, in which the collecting chains designed as a main collection chain or secondary collection chain and only the main collection chain in the area of the stapling station extends along the transport and stitching line.
  • the collecting chains designed as a main collection chain or secondary collection chain and only the main collection chain in the area of the stapling station extends along the transport and stitching line.
  • the rear collection chain is designed as the main collection chain.
  • the stapling station is for an operator from the front accessible.
  • the assembly and adjustment work at the stapling station can from the operator side of the saddle stitcher from.
  • the secondary collection chain after leaving the area of the folding sheet feeder distracted down from the transport and stitching line becomes.
  • the downward deflection of the secondary collection chain enables a simple chain guide and a simple one Structure of the saddle stitcher.
  • downstream is downstream the envelope feeder is the last to receive an envelope folder feeder provided, the secondary collection chain after the Leaving the area of the envelope folder from the Transport and stitching line is deflected downwards.
  • Another training measure is that the Collection chains Carrier for those stored on the collection chains Have folded sheets and a device for controlling the Transport speed of the carriers of the secondary collection chain is provided so that the transport speed of the driver the secondary collection chain, especially in the area of Deflection of the secondary collection chain from the transport and stitching line, less than or equal to the transport speed of the Carrier of the main collection chain is.
  • a device for controlling the Transport speed of the carriers of the secondary collection chain is provided so that the transport speed of the driver the secondary collection chain, especially in the area of Deflection of the secondary collection chain from the transport and stitching line, less than or equal to the transport speed of the Carrier of the main collection chain is.
  • the carriers of the secondary collection chain are advantageously essentially pivotable against the direction of transport the secondary collection chain stored and point from this storage location spaced at least against the direction of transport a leadership role.
  • the device for controlling the Transport speed of the carriers of the secondary collection chain has a guide rail on which the guide roller rolls at least in sections. With little construction effort can thereby control the transport speed the carrier of the secondary collection chain can be realized.
  • a saddle stitcher shown schematically in Fig. 1 has three folding sheet feeder 10, 12 and 14, each one Folded sheets 16, 18 and 20 on the collecting chains, not shown lay down.
  • the folded sheets 16, 18 and 20 are in the direction arrow P along a transport and stitching line 22 transported, which along the folded sheet feeder 10, 12 and 14 and extends through the stapling station 24, so that each three folding sheets 16, 18 and 20 are collected.
  • the Stapling station 24 has one or more stapling heads 26 and Clincher boxes 28 assigned to them. In the stapling station 24 are from the stitching heads 26 wire clips 27 from ripped through the collated sheets 30 above and bent over from the clincher boxes 28. From stapling station 24 the stitched folded sheets 32 become a transfer station 29 and from there in the direction of arrow T to Further processing e.g. in a trimmer (triple cutter) promoted.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show a section of a saddle stitcher, between the area of the folding sheet feeder and the Stapling station 24 is located.
  • a secondary collection chain 40 has several chain links 42 and driver 44 and is through a chain guide 46 out. Open folding sheets astride a guide bar 48, behind which the main collection chain 50 is arranged, of which in FIG. 2 only a few chain links 52 and a few catches 54 are recognizable.
  • the direction of transport of the collecting chains 40 and 50 is indicated in FIGS. 2 and 3 by an arrow.
  • the secondary header chain 40 is in that in FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrated section of the saddle stitcher via a saddle chain wheel 56 placed so that they from the transport and Tack line passing through the top edge of the guide bar 48 is set to be distracted down.
  • the collecting sprocket 56 is driven by a toothed belt wheel via a toothed belt 56a 56b driven.
  • the toothed belt wheel 56b is seated together with another toothed belt wheel 58 on one Shaft 56c, the drive via a toothed belt 58a and that Toothed belt wheel 58 through an angular gear 60 with toothed belt wheel 58b and vertical shaft 90 of a central drive or by an electric motor (not shown) (Fig. 3).
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 also show a device 66 for Thickness control of the transported folding sheets, the opposite the main collection chain 50 near the transportation and stitching line is arranged.
  • Small format folding sheets also run thereby between a fixed measuring roller 68 which within a section of a guide plate 70 is arranged, and a movable measuring roller 72, which on an arm 74th is articulated.
  • the secondary collection chain 40 is in the Area of the portion of the Saddle stitching over the sprocket 76 is thereby distracted down and astride the guide bar 48 folded sheets lying free.
  • the driver 44 of the Sub-collection chain 40 are articulated to a bearing 78 the secondary collection chain 40 articulated and substantially counter the direction of transport can be pivoted.
  • the drivers 44 continue to point at their rear end, against the Transport direction spaced from the bearing 78, one Guide roller 80 on.
  • the secondary collection chain 40 rolls through the sprocket 76 the guide roller 80 on a guide rail 82.
  • the drivers 44 are in their transport position held.
