Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about a device that can deposit printed products quickly and reliably in shingle formation. It can handle thicker and less flexible products, and can adjust to changes in transport speed. The device has a unique design that allows for precise placement of the printed products and ensures they are transferred without any faulty shingle formation. The device can also easily adjust to different formats of the printed products. It is designed to operate at high speeds and is trouble-free."

Problems solved by technology

The dropping time therefore is so short that a faulty shingle formation is no longer produced, namely even if significant speed changes occur.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]The FIGURE shows a partially schematic side view of a stream feeder 1 for depositing individual brochures 4 (4I, 4II, 4III, 4IV), supplied in succession by means of a feed conveyor 2, on a downstream conveyor 3 with a slower transport speed v3 in shingle formation 5. The brochures 4 have a format length L and are successively transported obliquely downward with a feed speed v1 by the feed conveyor 2 that clamps the brochures 4 between conveyor belts 26, 27 such that they are spaced apart from one another by a distance A, wherein the brochures are then fed to the stream feeder 1 with their spine 4a pointing forward. The bottom conveyor belt 26 extends slightly farther than the upper conveyor belt 27 such that the brochures 4 are provided with a supporting surface.

[0013]The stream feeder 1 features a plurality of rotating grippers 6a to 6e that are continuously driven in a rotative fashion with a constant gripper speed v2. The grippers 6a to 6e are respectively realized in the f...

Abstract

A device for depositing individual printed products (4), preferably magazines, brochures or book blocks, that are supplied in succession by means of a feed conveyor (2) on a downstream conveyor (3) with slower transport speed (v3) in shingle formation (5), wherein said device comprises a stream feeder (1) that receives the printed products (4) from the feed conveyor (2) by means of rotating grippers (6a to e) that are opened and closed in the appropriate cycle with the aid of a stationary cam (12) and deposits the printed products on the downstream conveyor (3). In order to reliably and flawlessly deposit the printed products, particularly thick and / or less flexible printing products, in shingle formation, the stream feeder includes a plurality of grippers (6a to e) that are rotatively driven with a slower speed (v2) than the feed speed (v1), wherein the grippers (6a to e), opened for receiving the printed products, respectively include a short pocket (7) with a bottom stop (8), with which the respectively supplied printed product (4) comes in contact due to the higher feed speed (v1). The clamped transport takes place within an angular range (β) of the rotational movement of the grippers, namely up to a defined distance upstream of a stripping element (10) for reliably releasing the printed products (4). They drop on the downstream conveyor (3) along a short path.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001]This disclosure pertains to a device for depositing individual printed products that are supplied in succession in shingle formation.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]DE 198 46 032 C2 describes devices for depositing flat objects such as tubular sections or bags consisting of paper, wherein the supplied objects are decelerated with a device that settles on the deposited objects from the top. Devices of this type are also suitable for depositing thicker printed products in shingle formation, e.g., magazines, brochures or book blocks. The objects are transported with a relatively high speed on a conveyor belt while being spaced apart from one another and transferred to an obliquely ascending downstream conveyor belt that revolves with a slower speed. In order to produce the shingle formation, the supplied objects are decelerated by one or more deceleration rolls that are rotatably supported on swiveling levers and roll on the shingle formation being produced with...
