Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transporting a leaflet.
  • Brochures are for example the leaflets or instructions for use of medicines, cosmetics and toiletries.
  • the folded leaflets are transported individually and combined with the corresponding product so that usually a simultaneous insertion into the appropriate packaging is possible.
  • the devices generally have an endlessly circulating transport device, which may be designed, for example, as a circulating transport chain.
  • the transport device has a plurality of prospective tongs, which are arranged at regular intervals on the transport device.
  • the respective brochure pliers After being fitted with a brochure, the respective brochure pliers are closed, so that the brochure is held firmly by the brochure pliers. During transport of the leaflet, this can for example be prefolded by deflection profiles, so that the prospectus finally has an approximately U-shaped form.
  • the brochure is placed between the packaging and the product to be packaged. In this way, the product can virtually take the brochure when inserted into the packaging.
  • the folder tongs must be opened to allow the brochure to be taken. The opened brochure tongs are then over the circulating transport device transported back to be equipped with another brochure.
  • the brochure pliers known in the prior art are in their rest position in a closed position. In this rest position, the brochure tongs are held closed by spring force.
  • the brochure tweezers are opened regularly via a turnout system. Leaves the brochure pliers the area of the switch system, closes the brochure pliers automatically again.
  • Transport devices with self-holding brochure tongs are for example from the EP 0 386 442 A2 , of the WO 91/07342 A1 , of the DE 196 42 117 A1 or the CH 690 301 A5 known.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an improved device for Specify transport a prospectus, which has a compact design and the lowest possible susceptibility to interference.
  • the device according to the invention for transporting a leaflet has an endlessly circulating transport device, on which at least one leaflet tongs are arranged.
  • the brochure pliers is designed as a self-holding pliers.
  • the use of a self-holding brochure pliers with static positions allows the use of very short switch systems, which must put the brochure pliers only in the open or closed state, without having to maintain this state.
  • technically simple turnout systems can be used, which often leads to less wear and longer maintenance intervals.
  • a particularly compact brochure transport device can be made possible by short, simple switch systems.
  • the adjustable clamping unit has a clamping lever which is pivotally mounted on a stationary pliers block.
  • the clamping lever can via a toggle lever by means of a spring-loaded punch in two positions are fixed in position.
  • the clamping lever is mounted centrally on a first axis of rotation of the toggle lever.
  • the second axis of rotation of the toggle lever is mounted on a projection of the stationary pliers block.
  • the toggle lever is fixed in position by a longitudinally displaceable punch in its two positions.
  • the punch is mounted longitudinally displaceably in a bore of the projection in the stationary pliers block.
  • a cup spring package ensures that the punch presses against the toggle lever, so that the position of the toggle lever and thus also the position of the adjustable clamping unit is fixed.
  • disc springs increases the maintenance intervals compared to conventional tension or compression springs many times, so that a particularly economical operation of the device according to the invention is possible.
  • one of the two clamping units is stationary, so that only one clamping unit has to be adjusted by the switches. This reduces the number of components required, in particular the moving components, which regularly leads to lower susceptibility to interference.
  • clamping lever On the clamping lever may preferably be provided a shoulder element which allows an adjustment of the position of the clamping lever.
  • a switch can act on this shoulder element to adjust the position of the clamping lever.
  • the short switch can be adjusted so that it does not attack the shoulder element and the folder pliers remain closed.
  • the leaflet may slippage and thus become jammed in the brochure pliers, which would necessitate a manual removal thereof. This would mean a stoppage of the product transport device and thus also of the packaging device.
  • one of the two clamping units may have a concave clamping region and the other of the two clamping units may have a convex clamping region.
  • the stationary clamping unit may have a concave clamping area
  • the adjustable clamping unit may have a convex clamping area.
  • the convex clamping region may be formed in a structurally particularly simple embodiment as a round rod.
  • the two clamping units can preferably be arranged approximately horizontally, so that the brochure can be transported approximately horizontally.
  • the lower or the upper edge region of the brochure can already be in the position in which the brochure is present in the packaging. This facilitates the insertion of product and brochure into the packaging, so that higher web speeds and shorter packaging paths are possible.
  • the free end of the prospectus flexes slightly downward by gravity, so that in an arrangement of the brochure transport device above the products to be inserted only a bending of the lower free end of the prospectus in a likewise approximately horizontal position is necessary to the prospectus for to fold in the packaging.
  • folder tongs can be present on a device according to the invention, which are each arranged at regular intervals on the transport device.
  • a non-illustrated device for transporting a leaflet has an endlessly circulating transport device to which a plurality of prospective tongs 10 are present.
  • the brochure tongs 10 are designed as self-holding forceps. In the Fig. 1 to 3 the brochure tong 10 is shown in its open position 70; in the 4 to 6 while in its closed position 72.
  • the claw pliers 10 has a stationary pliers block 12.
  • the pliers block 12 has at its lower edge region a mounting plate 14.
  • On the mounting plate 14 are in the present example, two fastening webs 16 via two screws 18th attached.
  • the brochure pliers 10 can be attached to a transport device not shown in the figures.
  • a stationary first clamping unit 20 is attached via a screw 22.
  • the stationary clamping unit 20 is oriented approximately horizontally, wherein the deviation from the horizontal in the present example case is about 15 degrees.
  • the left in the drawing edge region of the clamping unit 20 is formed as a clamping portion 24.
  • the clamping region 24 is slightly concave in the present example.
  • the width of the clamping region 24 is chosen so large that the leaflets are held by the clamping region 24 over a large part of their width. Ideally, the leaflets should protrude only minimally beyond the clamping area 24 in order to enable safe transport with as little damage or kinking as possible.
  • the adjustable second clamping unit 30 has a clamping lever 32 which is pivotally mounted on the stationary pliers block 12 via a rear axis of rotation 34.
  • the clamping lever 32 has at its front edge region on a round bar 36, which serves as a concave clamping area. Between the clamping area 24 and the round bar 36, the brochure can be kept clamped when the brochure forceps 10 is in its closed position 72.
  • the clamping lever 32 is mounted centrally on a toggle lever 40 via a first axis of rotation 38.
  • the second axis of rotation 42 of the toggle lever 40 is mounted on a projection 44 of the stationary pliers block 12.
  • the toggle lever 40 is fixed in position by a longitudinally displaceable punch 46 in its two positions.
  • the punch 46 is mounted longitudinally displaceably in a bore 48 of the projection 44 in the stationary pliers block 12.
  • a cup spring package 50 ensures that the punch 46 presses against the toggle 40, so that the position of the toggle lever and thus also the position of the adjustable clamping unit 30 is fixed.
  • a shoulder element 60 which in the present example is circular, is fastened to the clamping lever 32 via a screw 62.
  • the shoulder element 60 serves as a point of attack for the adjustment of the clamping unit 30 from its open position (see Fig. 1 to 3 ) in its closed position (see 4 to 6 ) and vice versa. This adjustment could be done manually, for example.
  • the shoulder element 60 would serve as a handle element.
  • the adjustment of the clamping unit 30 via a switch which pushes the shoulder member 60 upwards or downwards.
  • Such turnout systems can be realized structurally simple, so that an economical use of the same is possible. At the same time, the turnout systems have only a low susceptibility to interference and can be adjusted by a slight pivoting so that no contact of the shoulder element 60 takes place with the switch, if an adjustment of the clamping unit 30 should not be desirable.
