Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing folded products according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a folder with great variability of the folding products and as many layers as possible, wherein the folding products can be the same or different in the number of layers.
  • first and a second transverse fold product produce e.g. B. two complete newspapers or two preliminary products or a mixed product consisting of a complete newspaper and a preliminary product.
  • Folded products can be formed from one, two, three, four, six or eight signatures by means of two stationary and two individually movable folding formers arranged above.
  • the partial strands can be placed in different positions of the strand and thus of the folded product due to the different strand guidance from the upper displaceable former formers.
  • two folding products of the same or different thickness ie folding products with the same or different number of layers, can be produced, each with full capacity utilization of the double-width folder.
  • FIG. 1 shows the side view of a device according to the invention for producing folded products.
  • Two formers 1, 2 are arranged side by side in a first plane A.
  • two displaceable folding formers 3, 4 are arranged side by side.
  • a partial strand 31, 32, 33, 34 runs over rollers, which are not specified in any more detail, and combines to form a main strand 6 or two main strands 6, 7 which enter a folder.
  • the folder consists, for. B. from a two-field cutting cylinder 8, which against a seven-field Cutting groove, puncture and folding knife cylinder 9 works.
  • the aforementioned cylinder 9 is followed by a seven-field jaw cylinder 11.
  • the cylinders 8, 9, 11 are each double-wide, and two devices can each be arranged in the axial direction on a cylinder 8, 9, 11 and can be provided with only one drive, but with separately controlled known folding devices, ie two each partial strands 31, 32, 33, 34 coming from the outlet of a folding former 1 to 4 can be arranged side by side in the axial direction of the cylinders 8, 9, 11 on the lateral surfaces of the cylinders 8, 9, 11. It is also possible for the cylinders 9, 11 to have five fields each. Under the jaw cylinder 11 there are two paddle wheels 12, 13 which are arranged side by side in the axial direction and which deposit the folding products 14, 16 produced by the folder onto a belt delivery 17, 18. The band delivery 17 is assigned to the paddle wheel 12 and the band delivery 18 is assigned to the paddle wheel 13.
  • the former 3, 4 located in the second plane B are displaceable in the axial direction D of the cylinders 8, 9, 11 of the folder, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, so that the former 3, 4 optionally on one or both with E. and F designated transverse fold position of the side-by-side left and right inlets 24, 26 of the folder operates.
  • the transverse fold position E is above the left inlet 24 and the left paddle wheel 12 and Cross fold position F over the right inlet 26 and the right paddle wheel 13.
  • a partial strand 33, 34 consisting of different printed webs can be brought into different positions of the folded product 14, 16 as shown in FIG. 1. If e.g. B.
  • a folded product 14 produced from four partial strands 31 to 34 is only produced in the transverse folding position E, then the partial strands 31 to 34 can assume the following sequence on the outer surface of the cutting groove, puncture and folding knife cylinder 9: 32, 34, 31, 33 ; 34, 32, 33, 31; 34, 32, 31, 33; 32, 34, 33, 31, depending on at which point the partial strands 33, 34 running out of the displaceable former 3, 4 are inserted. These possibilities are indicated in Fig. 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic front view according to FIG. 1, the fixed folding former 1, 2 located in the first plane A working on the inlet 24 of the folding apparatus symbolically represented by the folding jaw cylinder 11.
  • the signatures of the partial strands 32 and 31 are in the order 32, 31 on the lateral surface of the jaw cylinder 11 in the left inlet 24.
  • the displaceable folding formers 3, 4 arranged in the uppermost level B work on the right inlet 26 of the folding apparatus.
  • the signatures of the partial strands 34 and 33 are in the order 34, 33 on the outer surface of the jaw cylinder 11 in the right inlet 26.
  • the first on the Ribbon delivery 17 folded product 14 then has the following sequence of signatures from top to bottom: 31, 32, 32, 31.
  • the second folding product 16 deposited on ribbon delivery 18 then has the following sequence of partial strands from top to bottom: 33, 34, 34, 33.
  • the second displaceable folding former 4 works solely on the transverse folding position F of the folding apparatus, so that here a folding product 21 is formed from the signatures of the partial strand 34.
  • the displaceable former 3, 4 have changed their positions, so that the former 4 in the transverse folding position E and the former 3 is in the transverse position F above the folder.
  • the former 3 works alone in the transverse folding position F over the inlet 26 of the Folding apparatus, so that here a folding product 23 is formed from the signatures of the partial strand 33, while the order of the signatures of the partial strands on the folding jaw cylinder 11 is as follows: 34, 31, 32, which results in the sequence 34, 31, 32, 32, 31 , 34 of the signatures in a folded product 22 stored on a belt delivery 17.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 show funnel-fixed funnel inlet rollers 27, 29, 30 assigned to the folding formers 1 to 4.
  • the folding formers 3, 4 can be moved on rails which are not fixed to the frame.
  • the hopper pre-inlet rollers 37, 38 which are also shown, are arranged fixed to the frame.
  • the hopper inlet rollers 37, 38 and the hopper inlet roller 27 are double-width to accommodate two partial strands next to each other. It is also possible to increase the number of signatures in a single production.
  • the cutting groove, puncture and folding knife cylinder 9 can also be designed without cutting grooves.
  • a belt guide system (not shown) can be arranged on the circumference of the folding knife cylinder 9, the main strands 6, 7 then being cut into signatures by means of two cutting cylinders arranged in front of the folding cylinder group 9, 11.
  • the "double-width" puncture and folding knife cylinder 9 and the “double-width” jaw cylinder 11 can be realized by using a “double width” by means of an integral double-width puncture and folding knife cylinder 9 and a one-piece double-width jaw cylinder 11.
  • a "double width" of the aforementioned cylinders 9, 11 of the folding group can be achieved by means of two cylinders 9, 11 provided next to one another and with separate drives.
