Benefits of technology

The technical effect of the present invention is to create a buffer that allows for faster movement of goods or groups of goods without unnecessary queue times, without complicating the setup in terms of mechanics and controlling. The device in accordance with the invention is advantaged because it can handle collected goods / groups of goods faster, as there is no necessity to pass through the entire buffer section from one position to another. The functionality of the buffer device and corresponding elements is maintained, and only the runout needs to be controlled to cause early withdrawal of a good from a last occupied buffer position. The approach in accordance with the invention is further advantaged because the goods or groups of goods can be accepted in the buffer section in a shingled or non-shingled manner.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, this known buffer section does not allow a shingled arrangement of goods or groups of goods.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]Same elements or elements having the same effect are provided with the same reference numerals in the following description of embodiments of the invention.

[0032]An embodiment of the invention will be discussed below referring to FIG. 2, wherein the runout is formed by a plurality of runout modules. FIG. 2 shows a schematic illustration of the buffer stage 200 comprising an in-feed 202 for feeding the sheets to a buffer section 204 including a plurality of transport units 206a-206f, the transport units 206a-206f being arranged at corresponding buffer positions 207a-207f of the buffer 200 and being moveable between same. Each of the transport units 206a-206f includes a clamping element 208, such as, for example, one or several pairs of pliers 208 of which only the pair of pliers 208 arranged at the transport unit 206a is shown in FIG. 2. The pliers 208 serve for clamping a good arranged at a transport unit 206, such as, for example, an individual sheet or a group of sheets, suc...

Abstract

A device for buffering a plurality of goods or groups of goods includes a buffer section configured to receive a plurality of goods or groups of goods. In addition, a buffer transport is provided, configured to move a good or group of goods at a buffer transport speed. A runout is configured to move out a good or group of goods from the device at a runout speed which is higher than the buffer transport speed. The runout is additionally configured to take over transport of a good or group of goods before the good or group of goods has reached an end of the buffer section.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of copending International Application No. PCT / EP2011 / 068354, filed Oct. 20, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and additionally claims priority from German Application No. 10 2010 043 063.3, filed Oct. 28, 2010, which is also incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Embodiments of the invention relate to processing goods or groups of goods, in particular to processing sheets which are processed within a paper handling system as individual sheets or groups of sheets.[0003]Paper handling systems exemplarily serve for producing letters being sent to a plurality of recipients, using which telephone bills, bank statements or similar things are, for example, sent. Cover notes of this kind either include an individual sheet or a plurality of sheets which are then processed within the system as a group. The sheets processed by the system are...
