Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for superimposing flexible sheets, in particular sheets and sheets, according to the preamble of claim 1, which an internal SA. d. T. is based on:
  • a plurality of receiving compartments for stacks of the sheets to be collated are arranged one behind the other below the movement path of the collecting device running in a horizontal plane. These compartments are inclined with respect to the vertical and thus also with respect to the movement path of the collecting device.
  • feed mechanisms By means of feed mechanisms, individual sheets are pushed upwards in all or only certain receiving compartments and brought into the effective area of the collecting device.
  • the collecting device which can be displaced between the starting compartments and an end position, pulls the sheets forwarded from the stacks, each newly removed sheet coming to rest below the sheets previously pulled off. The sheets can only be pulled off and conveyed at the speed of movement of the collecting device.
  • the present invention is based on the object of expanding the possible uses of a device of the type mentioned at the outset.
  • the conveyor belt abuts a preferably stationary component with a second strand, and is driven by rolling this second strand on the component when moving along the conveyor path.
  • the conveying speed of the fabrics removed from the receiving compartments is twice as high as the moving speed of the conveyor belt. Furthermore, there is no need for a separate drive unit for the conveyor belt.
  • a support for further flat structures which defines a movement path leading to storage, is expediently arranged above the conveyor belt and a feed device for moving these further flat structures along this movement path is provided for storage.
  • a feed device for moving these further flat structures along this movement path is provided for storage.
  • the collating device shown in the figures has a frame 1 with a support table 2 for cover sheets.
  • a tray 5 is connected to this support table 2, which defines a movement path 4 for the cover sheets 3.
  • This consists of two opposing support rails 6 and 7 forming an opening 5a between them and a stop 8.
  • the supplementary sheets 3 are supplied by a source, not shown, and placed on the support table 2.
  • 3 ' shows a cover sheet which comes, for example, from a printing device of a known type in which this supplementary sheet 3' has been provided with shipping information, for example. If necessary, the cover sheets 3 are cut to size on the support table 2.
  • a connecting piece 12 is connected to the piston rod 11 of this piston-cylinder unit 9 and is guided longitudinally by means of a guide rod 13 extending in the longitudinal direction of the piston-cylinder unit 9.
  • a cross member 14 is connected, which carries a boom 15 (Fig. 1) at its free end.
  • a pushing member 16 is attached, which extends through an opening 17 in the support table 2.
  • Both the cross member 14 and the boom 15 run below the support table 2.
  • a support roller is also rotatable on the pushing member 16 18 stored, which rests on the top of the support table 2.
  • a bracket 19 for two leaf spring elements 20 and 21 (FIG. 1) running parallel to one another is attached to the side of the cross member 14.
  • These leaf spring elements 20, 21 carry a bearing part 22 for two deflecting rollers 23 and 24 at each end. Of these two bearing parts 22, only the bearing part for the deflecting roller 23 is shown in FIG. 2.
  • An endless conveyor belt 25 is guided over these deflection rollers 23, 24.
  • the upper run 25b of this conveyor belt 25 lies against the underside of the support table 2 and is pressed against the support table 2 by the leaf spring elements 20, 21.
  • the opposite strand 25a forms the effective conveyor strand of the conveyor belt 25.
  • This conveyor track 26 is formed by mutually parallel rollers 27 which are supported on springs 28, which are only shown schematically.
  • Receiving compartments 29, 30 and 31 are arranged below this conveyor track 26 for receiving stacks 32, 33, 34 made of additional or additional sheets 35, 36 and 37, respectively.
  • These additional or supplementary sheets 35, 36, 37 can, for example, be advertising and advertisement sheets for display at sales outlets.
  • the receiving compartments 29, 30, 31, in the removable. Loading inserts are upright, but are slightly inclined to the vertical.
  • a feed mechanism 38, 39 and 40 for the supplementary sheets 35, 36, 37 is assigned to each receiving compartment 29, 30, 31.
  • Each of these feed mechanisms 35, 36, 37 has a piston-cylinder unit 41, 42 and 43, the piston rod 44, 45 and 46 of which carries a rubber roller 47, 48 and 49.
  • These rubber rollers 47, 48, 49 can have a freewheel which is effective when the piston rods 44, 45, 46 move in.
  • the piston rods 44, 45, 46 are extended, the uppermost supplementary sheet 35 ', 36' or 37 'is pushed upwards into the effective area of the conveyor-active strand 25a of the conveyor belt 25.
  • guide elements 50, 51 and 52 arranged above the receiving compartments 29, 30, 31, the inserted supplementary sheets 35, 36, 37 are deflected somewhat in the feed direction A.
  • the piston-cylinder units 41, 42 and 43 can be optionally controlled so that the desired number and type of supplementary sheets 35, 36, 37 can be advanced and taken with them for each collating operation.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show both the pushing element 16 and the conveyor belt 25 in the rear end position.
  • the piston rod 11 is fully extended.
  • the piston-cylinder units 41, 42, 43 By actuating the piston-cylinder units 41, 42, 43, the desired supplementary sheets 35 ', 36' and 37 'are advanced.
  • only one additional sheet 35 ' is required, which protrudes with its front end into the path of movement of the conveyor belt 25.
  • both the pushing element 16 and the conveyor belt 25 are now moved in the direction of arrow A.
  • the pushing element 16 pushes the cover sheet 3 lying on the support table 2 against the tray 5.
  • the conveyor-effective strand 25a of the conveyor belt 25 thus also moves in the direction of arrow A.
  • the conveyor belt 25 passes the advanced sheet 35 ', the conveyor-active strand 25a pulls this sheet 35' off the stack 32 and takes it (and possibly further advanced sheets 36 'and 37') with. Since the conveyor belt 25 is moved on the one hand at the feed speed determined by the retraction speed of the piston rod 11 and on the other hand also rotates at this feed speed, the supplementary sheets 35 ', 36', 37 'are fed twice as fast as the cover sheet 3.
  • leaves can also be collected for other purposes.
  • the device described has the advantage that, with the same type of supplementary sheets 35, 36, 37 cover sheets 3, different types or different printing can be used. It is thus possible to produce end products which differ from one another in the type of cover sheet 3. If this is not necessary, these cover sheets 3 and thus also the pushing element 12 can be dispensed with. This would mean that only sheets 35, 36, 37 from the receiving compartments 29, 30, 31 are brought together in the manner described by means of the conveyor belt 25.
  • the described device can of course be designed in different parts differently than shown.
