Benefits of technology
"The present invention provides an installation and method for storing printed products on a circular conveyor track in one or more layers. The method and installation do not cause smearing of printing ink between copies, do not bend the products, are space-saving, and can handle large numbers of printed products. The installation can be adjusted to the user's needs and requirements, and can handle and store large numbers of printed products. The technical effects of the invention are that it provides an efficient and flexible system for storing printed products."
Problems solved by technology
A well-known problem in the handling of printed products, such as newspapers and supplements to newspapers and the like, is that large numbers are printed in a short time, often more than 20 newspapers / second.
This method requires a great deal of manual handling, and because of the exchanges of rolls, the process must be interrupted at regular intervals.
The smaller the rolls the more frequently the process must be interrupted, and the larger the rolls, the more complicated the handling.
As a result, the products may be bent.
This method makes extensive intermediate handling necessary.
Another problem that may arise in this type of storing is smearing of printing ink between the printed copies, which means that some newspapers have to be discarded.
Furthermore the above process is susceptible to the roll joints which arise in the printing machine when the paper on which the newspaper is being printed has to be exchanged.
When a newspaper with a printing joint is rolled up for storage, the entire process may have to be interrupted.
A problem with these apparatus is that they may hold a rather small number of products.
This method necessitate extensive intermediate handling.

Embodiment Construction
[0031]The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the schematic drawings, which illustrate an embodiment of the present invention.
[0032]The installation according to the present invention comprises a conveyor track, which is designated 1 in the drawings. For the sake of simplicity, the conveyor track 1 will below be referred to as the track. Moreover the installation comprises a conveyor 5 which supplies the products to the track 1, a receiving conveyor 4 which receives the products as they are discharged from the track 1, see FIG. 1. The conveyors 4, 5 that are used in the invention are of the type that is used to handle printed products, known to a person skilled in the art.
[0033]The track 1 is adapted to store preferably newspapers, supplements and other similar printed products. The track 1 which is used according to the present invention is a conventional conveyor track known to a person skilled in the art. The track 1 can, for instance, be driven by a ...

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a device or installation and a method for efficiently storing printed products.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A well-known problem in the handling of printed products, such as newspapers and supplements to newspapers and the like, is that large numbers are printed in a short time, often more than 20 newspapers / second. There is a great need for efficient and flexible solutions in connection with the handling of the products as they come from the printing machine before they are further distributed. There is also a need for intermediate storage of supplements that are to be inserted in a newspaper, while the actual newspaper is being printed.[0003]Various types of installations and methods are today used in the handling of printed products. In many printing plants, use is made of rolls onto which the printed products are wound as they arrive from the printing machine. Once a roll is full, it is stored while waiting for further handling...
