Definitions

  • the invention relates to a saddle stitcher according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Generic saddle stitchers are known. Of folded sheet investors there are individual folded sheets are separated from a stack, opened and stored on the gathering chains. Between the collecting chains a guide rail is arranged, the upper portion is formed like a blade and the ridge line defines the transport and stitching line. Together with the guide rail, the gathering chains form a substantially roof-shaped support on which the signatures are transported astride. To the on the collecting chains stored folded sheet safely to capture and evenly load even at high transport speed, run the gathering chains or their drivers in front of and behind the guide bar, so that a stored folded sheet is detected simultaneously on both legs. The folded sheets detected by the carriers are transported through the front and the rear gathering chain to a stitching station, in which successive folded sheets are stapled in the fold with the aid of a wire clamp.
  • stapling heads arranged above the gathering chains and clincher boxes arranged between the collecting chains instead of the guide strip, which bend over the free ends of the wire staples pierced by the stapling heads through the folded sheets. Thereafter, the stapled folded sheets of the collecting chains for further processing, such as edge trimming and delivery, forwarded.
  • the operator-side gathering chain Since the gathering chains are arranged in the region of the stitching station in front of or behind the clincher boxes, the operator-side gathering chain must be lifted out of its guide for adjustment or replacement of the clincher boxes and stitching heads. On the one hand this is labor intensive, on the other hand, this leads to repeated elongation to a different elongation of the front and rear gathering chain, so that a more uniform transport of the signatures is no longer guaranteed. Also, a thickness control of the gathered signatures before the stitching station for small folded sheet formats that do not or only slightly beyond the members of the gathering chain, take place only directly in the fold. Due to the residual stress of the signatures a large contact pressure is required for this, so that, especially with freshly printed sheets, markings and thus quality defects can occur.
  • a saddle stitcher which has a front and rear gathering chain for the transport of folded sheets. From this document, it is also known to form the gathering chains as a main and secondary collection chain, wherein the main collection chain extends only in the region of the stitching station, while the secondary collection chain is deflected after leaving the area of the folded sheet feeder from the transport and stitching line down.
  • the saddle stitcher known from this document has no thickness control.
  • the accessibility of the stitching station and the signatures in the area of the stitching station is to be improved.
  • a saddle stitcher according to the characterizing part of claim 1 is proposed for this purpose.
  • One leg of the gathered signatures does not lie on a moving collecting chain, so that this free leg, for example, for measurements, is easily accessible.
  • a device for thickness control of the transported signatures in the vicinity of the transport and stitching line is arranged opposite the main collection chain, thereby the thickness measurement of the folded signatures even with small-format signatures at the Thighs and accurate at low contact pressure. Quality defects due to markings, especially in the case of freshly printed sheets, are thereby avoided.
  • the rear gathering chain is designed as a main collection chain.
  • the stitching station is thus accessible to an operator from the front.
  • the assembly and adjustment work on the stitching station can thus be carried out from the operator side of the saddle stitcher.
  • the collecting chains have carriers for folded sheets deposited on the gathering chains and a device for controlling the transport speed of the carriers of the secondary collecting chain is provided, so that the transport speed of the carriers of the secondary collecting chain, in particular in the region of the deflection of the secondary collecting chain from the Transport and stitching line, less than or equal to the transport speed of the Driver of the main collection chain is.
  • the secondary collecting chain When the secondary collecting chain is deflected, its carriers, for example by tilting, may also not assume a higher transport speed in the short term than the carriers of the main collecting chain, since this would cause a displacement of the folded folded sheets relative to the main collecting chain.
  • the device may be mechanical or electrical or electronic type and may control the driver relative to the secondary collection chain or the secondary collection chain itself.
  • the carriers of the sub-collection chain are mounted pivotably on the sub-collection chain substantially in the opposite direction to the transport direction, and have at least one guide roller spaced from this storage location, counter to the transport direction.
  • the device for controlling the transport speed of the carriers of the sub-collection chain has a guide rail on which the guide roller rolls at least in sections. With little construction effort, a control of the transport speed of the driver of the sub-collection chain can be realized thereby.
  • a saddle stitcher shown schematically in FIG. 1 has three folded sheet feeder 10, 12 and 14, each depositing a folded sheet 16, 18 and 20 on the collecting chains, not shown.
  • the signatures 16, 18 and 20 are conveyed in the direction of the arrow P along a transport and stitching line 22 which extends along the folded sheet feeder 10, 12 and 14 and through the stitching station 24, so that in each case three signatures 16, 18 and 20 are collected become.
  • the stitching station 24 has one or more stitching heads 26 and clincher boxes 28 associated therewith. In the stitching station 24 of the stitching heads 26 wire staples 27 are stung from above through the folded folded sheets 30 and bent by the clincher boxes 28. From the stitching station 24, the stitched folded sheets 32 are transferred to a transfer station 29 and thence in the direction of the arrow T for further processing e.g. in a trimmer (trimmer).
  • a portion of a saddle stitcher is shown, which is located between the area of the folded sheet feeder and the stitching station 24.
  • a sub-collection chain 40 has a plurality of chain links 42 and dog 44 and is guided by a chain guide 46. Open folded sheets are placed astride a guide bar 48, behind the the main collecting chain 50 is arranged, of which only a few chain links 52 and a few drivers 54 can be seen in FIG.
  • the transport direction of the gathering chains 40 and 50 is indicated in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 by an arrow.
  • the sub-collection chain 40 is placed in the section of the saddle stitcher shown in Figs.
  • the accumulation sprocket 56 is driven by a toothed belt 56a via a toothed belt 56a.
  • the toothed belt wheel 56b is seated together with another toothed belt wheel 58 on a shaft 56c, whose drive via a toothed belt 58a and the toothed belt wheel 58 by an angle gear 60 with timing pulley 58b and king shaft 90 of a central drive or by an (not shown) electric motor takes place (Fig ).
  • the signatures After placing the open folded sheets by the folded sheet feeder on the clock synchronously driven collecting chains 50, 40, the signatures must be accelerated to the transport speed of the gathering chains 50, 40, wherein the symmetrically arranged driver 54 and 44 of main collection chain 50 and secondary collection chain 40 slipping the signatures prevent.
  • a desired number of folded sheets lie on one another and are at rest relative to the gathering chains 50, 40. The folded sheets can therefore be reliably transported to the stitching station 24 alone after leaving the area of the folded sheet feeder by the main collecting chain 50 alone.
  • baffles 62 and 64 prevent hooking of the front folded-sheet legs.
  • the driver 44 of the secondary bus chain 40 by their deflection briefly occupy a higher transport speed than the driver 54 of the main bus chain 50, the driver 44 are already short before the diversion of the secondary bus chain 40 to the rear, in substantially against the transport direction, pivoted (Fig. 4).
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 further show a device 66 for thickness control of the transported signatures, which is arranged opposite to the main collection chain 50 in the vicinity of the transport and stitching line. Even small-format folding sheets thereby pass between a fixed measuring roller 68, which is arranged within a section of a guide plate 70, and a movable measuring roller 72, which is articulated on an arm 74.
  • the sub-collecting chain 40 is placed over the sprocket 76 in the region of the section of the saddle stitcher shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, thereby being deflected downwards and releasing folding sheets lying astride the guide strip 48.
  • the drivers 44 of the secondary collection chain 40 are articulated at a bearing point 78 articulated to the secondary collection chain 40 and pivotable substantially opposite to the transport direction.
  • the drivers 44 also have at their rear end, opposite to the transport direction of the bearing 78 spaced, a guide roller 80.
  • the guide roller 80 rolls on a guide rail 82.
  • the driver 44 are held in their transport position. Shortly before the deflection of the sub-collection chain 40 down the guide rail 82 ends, so that the guide roller 80 dodges down and the driver 44 pivots about the bearing 78 to the rear. The driver 44 is thereby moved away from the trailing edge of a folded sheet (not shown in FIG. 4). Even in the course of the subsequent deflection of the sub-collection chain 40 down the driver 44 is thereby no longer in contact with the trailing edge of a conveyed signatures, so that it is conveyed by the drivers 54 of the main collection chain 50 ( Figures 2 and 3) evenly.
