Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clip for holding of flat objects, especially flexible ones Objects like single and multi-leaf Printed products, according to the preamble of claim 1 and a conveyor with a number of such brackets to promote a product formation.
  • a known clip of this type as described in EP-A-0 767 125 is disclosed has two clamp legs, which are rotatably mounted on a bearing axis.
  • This Bracket legs are closed by a locking device that the brace between them, in one Closed position.
  • the clamp legs can move away from each other into their or swivel release position.
  • compression spring available on the Clamp leg exerts a spreading force and so the Clamp leg holds in a given open position. Due to the construction of this known bracket but the brackets can only be one open relatively small angle.
  • the present invention is based on the object to create a bracket of the type mentioned at the clamp legs with a simple mechanical construction safe and precise between the closing and the Open position moved back and forth while doing one compared to a clip according to the prior art significantly larger angle can be pivoted.
  • the clamp legs in their Closing position pressing against each other Actuator causes movement in their another end position by means of the expansion element controlled pivoting of the staple leg (s) in the open position.
  • the Possibility of bracing the legs in two each other actively moving in opposite directions allows the two clamp legs at a certain time to a controlled, precise closing or To initiate opening movement, in particular by one Object while moving the clamps to release exactly. Since the clamp legs are in Cross the closed position adjacent to the bearing axis can open the clamp legs by a lot large angle can be pivoted.
  • This clip 1 has two clip legs 2 of equal length, 3, which can be rotated individually on a bearing axis 4 are pivotally mounted.
  • the swivel axis of the two Bracket legs 2, 3 are designated in Fig. 2 with 4a.
  • the Bearing axis 4 is mounted in a bearing part 5.
  • to Storage of the clamp legs 2, 3 are at their end parts 6 or 7 tabs 8 and 9 (Fig. 2) formed the Grip bearing axis 4 and in the longitudinal direction itself are arranged alternately. As shown in Figs. 1-3 the two end parts 6, 7 cross each other Bracket legs 2, 3, i.e. the tabs 8 of the end part 6 enforce the end part 7 of the other clamp leg 3 and vice versa.
  • the clamp legs 2, 3 Through this design and arrangement of End parts 6, 7 of the clamp legs 2, 3, it is possible to two clamp legs 2, 3 through a very large angle to pivot away from each other, like that even closer will be described.
  • the clamp legs 2, 3 In the lower, to the end parts 6, 7 adjoining area, the clamp legs 2, 3 be provided with an opening 10 (Fig. 2), through the Shape and size of the elasticity behavior of the Bracket legs 2, 3 is also determined.
  • the two Bracket legs 2, 3 between a closed position and an open or release position pivoted back and forth become. 1 and 3 are in the Closing leg 2, 3 with solid lines are shown. In contrast, they are clamp legs 2 in the open position, 3 indicated by dash-dotted lines in these figures and with 2 ' or 3 '. As is apparent from Fig. 1, are in in the closed position, the two clamp legs 2, 3 symmetrical with respect to a central plane M.
  • the elastic Bracket legs 2, 3 are biased such that they are in the closed position with its free ends on the an object not shown in FIGS. 1-3 Apply clamping force. This is in Fig. 1 by the indicated by dashed lines, that would cross in the closed position they would not be in contact with each other.
  • the actuator 12 is between a first End position 13 and a second end position 14 translationally back and forth in the direction of arrow A. displaceable.
  • the direction of displacement A runs perpendicular to the pivot axis 4a of the clamp legs 2, 3.
  • the facilities, e.g. Control curves, for translational Moving the actuator 12 are shown in Figs. 1-3 not shown.
  • the arrows C in FIG or D the displacement forces indicated on the Actuate actuator 12 to the latter from the first end position 13 in the second end position 14 and to move the other way around. From this representation it becomes clearly that the displacement forces C, D on two with respect to the clamp legs 2, 3 opposite Attack sides, thereby avoiding that when Moving the actuator 12 on the bracket 1 torques can be exerted.
  • the place where the End parts 6, 7 of the clamp legs 2, 3 in the closed position cross, lies between the two end positions 13, 14 of the actuating device 12.
  • the actuator 12 has a between Bracket legs 2, 3 arranged expansion element 15 and two closing elements 16, 17 on the outside the staple legs 2, 3 run.
  • the expansion element 15 is firmly connected to the closing elements 16, 17. Consequently extend the clamp legs 2, 3 between the Spreading element 15 and one of the closing elements 16, 17 through.
  • the two point Bracket legs 2, 3 each have an offset 18 or 19 (Fig. 3). Through each of these offsets 18, 19 one Rest area 20 and 21 formed on the outside Page 22 or 23 of the staple legs 2 or 3.
  • the actuating device 12 is in the second End position 14, the clamp legs 2, 3 take their Closed position, in which, as mentioned, on the exert a clamping effect. there bring the locking elements 16, 17 to the outer side 22 or 23 of the associated clamp leg 2, 3 a Clamping force K1 or K2 on (Fig. 3).
  • this second End position 14 is the actuator 12 through the Locking surfaces 20, 21 secured in their position.
  • brackets are suitable using the Fig. 1-3 described type especially for use in Conveyors used to transport Formations of flat objects form these formations in the area of one (or possibly both) side margins to capture. 4-8 will now be different Variants of such funding facilities explained in more detail, 4-8 corresponding parts for themselves in these the same reference numerals are used as in the Fig. 1-3.
  • each gripper 1 with one Fastening element 27 In the conveyor device shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are the bearing parts 5 of each gripper 1 with one Fastening element 27 connected, the bearing parts 5 with the associated fastener 27 preferably are integrally formed.
  • the fasteners 27 are only schematic at regular intervals on one shown means of transport 28 attached to the not shown way in the direction of arrow F (Fig. 5) is driven.
  • This funding is in one Guide channel 29 guided, for example by means of wheels 30.
  • the funding 28 can, for example, a traction element, especially be a chain. Besides that, it can Transport means 28 by individual in the guide channel 29 guided wagons are formed either with each other are connected or separated from each other and by Thrusts mutually in the conveying direction F drive.
  • the product formation S to be funded is used for shown embodiment by overlapping Products E formed, e.g. single or multi-leaf Printed matter can be.
  • the conveyor shown also others to promote flexible or rigid objects.
  • the Product formation S which in the present case is a Scale formation is in the area of the takeover by the conveyor on a support 31. As soon as the brackets 1 capture the product formation S. such an edition 31 is no longer required.
  • the grippers 1 shows the product formation S in an area 32 which corresponds to the connects a side edge E 'of the products E, i.e. so sideways. It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the grippers 1 at least in the takeover area are guided that in the closed position the clamp leg 2, 3 whose center plane M with the center plane G of the Product formation S roughly coincides. this will on the one hand by guiding the means of transport 28 in the guide 29 and on the other hand by arranging the Bearing axes 4 reached parallel to the conveying direction F.
  • the level is indicated by 33, which in Open position of the clamp legs 2 ', 3' by their free ends is set.
  • This level 33 lies outside the conveyor track of product formation S, what that lateral merging of the product formation S and the Conveyor for the purpose of capturing the product formation S facilitated.
  • the clamp legs 2 ', 3' around it can be opened at a large angle possible, when taking over the product formation S the Conveyor very close to the side edge E 'of Bring product formation S. For this takeover the product formation S does not have to be laterally relative to the Brackets 1 are moved.
  • the embodiment shown in Figs. 7 and 8 differs from that according to FIGS. 4 and 5 by a different design of the fastening element 34, by means of a gripper 1 on the transport means 28 is attached.
  • This fastener 34 is with the Bearing part 5 for the bearing axis 4 formed in one piece and has two projecting arms 36, 37 (Fig. 8).
  • the two arms 36, 37 extend laterally of the end parts 6, 7 of the clamp legs 2, 3 and each have one Guide surface 38 and 39 for the actuator 12 on.
  • the actuating device 12 is thus laterally through these guide surfaces 38, 39, which in Direction of displacement A of the actuating device 12 run, led. In other words, it is Actuating device 12 with one closing element 17 on these guide surfaces 38, 39.
  • the expansion element 15 are formed in two parts. In this case, then one of the two spaced apart Spreading element parts one of the two clamp legs 2, 3 assigned.
  • the one- or two-part expansion element 15 does not necessarily have to cover the entire width of the Extend bracket legs 2, 3. It is also conceivable that Spreading element 15 instead of as shown as a continuous web to be designed by two each a distance between the Bracket legs 2, 3 engaging elongated expansion parts form, the ends of which face each other at a distance lie.
