Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for opening folded printed products, in particular newspapers, magazines and parts thereof, according to the preamble of claims 1 and 7, respectively.
  • the upper part of the product has an edge section in the end region, which projects beyond the shorter, lower part of the product.
  • This edge section is gripped by a gripper of the opening device and clamped between itself and the belt, and the shorter, lower part of the product is moved in the direction of conveyance by the faster running small conveyor belt moved away from the held part of the product with bulging and thus opened the printed product.
  • a collecting bar of a collecting device runs into the opened printed product between the separated parts of the product and after the release of the printed products by the transport clips, they fall astride the collecting bars.
  • EP-A-0 208 081 and the corresponding US-A-4,684,117 disclose a method and a device for opening eccentrically folded printed products with a fold trailing in the conveying direction and a leading edge region opposite the fold.
  • the printed products are held by individually controllable grippers of a conveying device and transported with the conveying direction running obliquely from top to bottom.
  • An opening device is provided below the conveying device and has grippers arranged on a rotating drive element.
  • a fixed support plate is provided to the side of the traction element and this is preceded by an endless support belt driven in rotation in order to support the printed products in the leading end region.
  • the edge section under which a clamping tongue of the gripper is raised is raised and the relevant transport clamp is briefly opened so that the shorter product part below slides into the effective area of the gripper.
  • the shorter product part held thereby is in turn deflected in a direction transverse to the conveying direction when the gripper rotates around the deflection wheel and is moved away from the non-held product part located above to open the printed product.
  • the abutting product parts of the printed products supported in their end area are lifted away from each other transversely to the conveying direction. This only has to be done in a small area so that the product parts are gripped by corresponding grippers of the opening device without any problems. Due to the grippers driven at different speeds, the end edges of the product parts are now moved away from each other in the conveying direction. Since the product parts are held by the grippers, a forced separation of the product parts from one another is ensured, even if they should stick to one another. Since the grippers are moved in the conveying direction, there is a considerable amount of time available for opening. Furthermore, at least one of the product parts is bulged or brought into a position that is more stretched with respect to the other product part, so that the product parts are lifted from one another not only in the end region but up to the transport clamp.
  • the product part located at the top is raised, which can take place when the gripper assigned to the product part located at the bottom is opened by its moving clamping tongue engaging under the upper product part.
  • the opening device can thereby be particularly simple. If the product part with the edge section lying on top, it is easy to reach under the edge section, especially if the end edge of the printed product is brought into abutment against a stop on the gripper. The position of the end section is then precisely defined with respect to the clamping tongue.
  • the bottom part of the product is bulged against the top part so that the top part lifts off from the bottom part due to its inherent rigidity. Since this lifting only has to take place along a small section of the end edge of the product part, it is also guaranteed for printed products with low inherent rigidity.
  • the bulging of the underlying product part of printed products that are held in their fold and are supported in the end area in such a way that they are bent can be done in a simple manner by bending the edge section on one side towards the bottom and with its end edge in the direction is pushed against the end edge of the overhead product part. It is possible that the top part of the product is now gripped directly by the corresponding gripper, without that being raised further by means of the clamping tongue of the gripper assigned to the bottom part of the product.

  • a second gripper 40 which is opened by means of the opening backdrop, not shown, swings in between two printed products 20 in each case.
