Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Setzvorrichtung mit einem Setzrahmen und aus Kunststoff bestehenden Setzlettern.The invention relates to a setting device with a setting frame and from Plastic existing typesetting.

Eine Setzvorrichtung dieser Art ist in der DE 29 35 233 A1 als bekannt ausgewiesen. Bei dieser bekannten Setzvorrichtung sind Setzlettern in Form von Kunststoffelementen vorgesehen, die vorderseitig Einsteckschlitze für Stempelaufsätze besitzen und die rückseitig über ein erhabenes, gummiertes Schriftbild sowie Einsteckhalterungen zur Befestigung in einer Druckform verfügen. Die Einsteckhalterungen sind dabei als einzelne Vorsprünge ausgebildet, mit denen die Setzlettern in kreuzförmige, senkrecht zur Oberfläche der Druckform ausgebildete Einsteckschlitze steckbar sind. Dadurch müssen alle Setzlettern mit ihren Steckhalterungen auf die Rastung der Einsteckschlitze abgestimmt sein, wodurch die Abstände der Lettern fest vorgegeben sind und nicht immer ein zusammenhängendes Druckbild gewährleistet ist.A setting device of this type is identified as known in DE 29 35 233 A1. In this known setting device, setting letters are in the form of Plastic elements provided, the front insertion slots for stamp attachments own and the back over a raised, rubberized typeface as well as insertion brackets for fastening in a printing form. The insertion brackets are designed as individual projections with which the Typesetting in cross-shaped, perpendicular to the surface of the printing form Insert slots are pluggable. As a result, all typesetting with their plug holders be matched to the latching of the insertion slots, whereby the The spacing of the letters is fixed and not always a coherent one Print image is guaranteed.

In der DE-AS 11 54 126 ist ebenfalls die Herstellung von Setzlettern aus Kunststoff angegeben, wobei zu einer Setzvorrichtung keine Angaben gemacht sind. In DE-AS 11 54 126 is also the production of typesetting Plastic specified, with no information given for a setting device are.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Setzvorrichtung mit stabilen, umweltfreundlichen und gesundheitlich unbedenklichen Setzlettern bereitzustellen, die stabil sind, wobei eine einfache Handhabung beim Setzen und ein ausgewogenes Druckbild ermöglicht werden.The invention has for its object to provide a setting device with stable, to provide environmentally friendly and harmless typesetting types, which are stable with easy handling when seated and a balanced one Print image are made possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den in dem Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.This object is achieved with the features specified in claim 1.

Hiernach ist also vorgesehen, daß der Kunststoff der Setzlettern Polycarbonat ist. Dieser Kunststoff ist besonders stabil und formbeständig auf lange Sicht, leicht entsorgbar und gesundheitlich beispielsweise bei der Handhabung durch Kinder unbedenklich. Die Transparenz des Kunststoffs ermöglicht es, die Buchstaben auch ohne Spiegel von der Rückseite her zu erkennen. Die durchgehenden Nuten des Setzrahmens lassen ein einfaches Einschieben der Setzlettern von beiden Seiten zu, wobei die Setzlettern je nach Buchstabentyp eine fur das Druckbild optimale Breite aufweisen und einfach aneinandergereiht werden können. Mit dem abnehmbaren oder abschwenkbaren Halterahmen, bzw. den Halteplatten mit dem bzw. denen die stirnseitigen Ränder der Nuten begrenzt werden, wird ein Herausrutschen der Setzlettern aus den Nuten verhindert. Mit entsprechend angepaßten seitlichen Stücken kann gegebenenfalls ein Leerraum zwischen den Setzlettern und dem Rahmen aufgefüllt werden. Der Halterahmen kann mittels des mindestens einen Halteelements einfach und schnell umfangsseitig an dem Setzrahmen festgelegt werden, ohne daß das Halteelement auf der Unterseite stören würde.According to this, it is provided that the plastic of the setting letters is polycarbonate. This plastic is particularly stable and dimensionally stable in the long term, light disposable and harmless to health, for example when handled by children. The transparency of the plastic makes it possible to use the letters as well without recognizing mirrors from the back. The continuous grooves of the Setting frames allow easy insertion of the setting letters from both sides, the typesetting, depending on the type of letter, an optimal width for the printed image have and can be easily strung together. With the removable or swiveling holding frame, or the holding plates with which the front edges of the grooves are limited, slipping out of the Set letters prevented from the grooves. With correspondingly adapted side If necessary, there may be pieces of empty space between the setting letters and the Frame to be padded. The holding frame can by means of the at least one Holding element fixed quickly and easily on the circumference of the frame become, without that the holding element would interfere on the underside.

Für eine eindeutige Ausrichtung der Buchstaben ohne Gefahr von Verdrehungen ist die Maßnahme vorteilhaft, daß die einzelnen Setzlettern jeweils an einer gleichen senkrecht zur Buchstabenebene liegenden Außenseite eine Ausnehmung zur Ausrichtung aufweisen.For a clear alignment of the letters without risk of twisting the measure advantageous that the individual typesetting each on the same A recess for alignment is located perpendicular to the outside of the letter plane exhibit.

Eine gute Stabilität bei relativ geringem Materialbedarf ergibt sich dadurch, daß sich senkrecht zur Buchstabenebene erstreckende Versteifungsrippen und/oder Stege vorgesehen sind. Hierdurch wird auch eine gute Formgebung und Formstabilität gewährleistet.Good stability with a relatively low material requirement results from the fact that stiffening ribs extending perpendicular to the letter plane and / or Bridges are provided. This also ensures good shape and dimensional stability guaranteed.

Zur einfachen Handhabung beim Zusammensetzen von Wörtern in der Setzvorrichtung ist es günstig, wenn die Setzlettern an ihrem von der Buchstabenebene abgekehrten Endbereich eine Schwalbenschwanzführung aufweisen, mit der sie in angepaßte trapezförmige Nuten des Setzrahmens einschiebbar sind. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine gute Verschiebbarkeit längs der Nuten bei gleichzeitig gutem Halt der Buchstaben senkrecht zur Ebene der Buchstaben, so daß auch eine gute Ebenheit der Druckfläche erzielt wird.For easy handling when putting words together in the typesetting device it is convenient if the typesetting on their from the letter level have a dovetail guide with which they turn in adapted trapezoidal grooves of the frame can be inserted. Hereby this results in good displaceability along the grooves with a good hold at the same time the letters perpendicular to the plane of the letters, so that good flatness the printing area is achieved.

Für die Verschwenkbarkeit ist es günstig, wenn der Halterahmen an einer parallel zu der Längserstreckung der Nuten gerichteten Gelenkachse an einem Rand des Setzrahmens gelagert ist.For the pivotability, it is advantageous if the holding frame on a parallel to the longitudinal extent of the grooves directed joint axis at an edge of the Storage frame is stored.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des Haltebügels ist derart, daß das als Haltebügel ausgebildete Halteelement an dem Halterahmen mittels einer Bügelachse angelenkt ist und einen Spannabschnitt aufweist, mit dem der Halterahmen in einer Vertiefung der entprechenden Umfangsseite festlegbar ist.An advantageous embodiment of the bracket is such that that as a bracket trained holding element articulated on the holding frame by means of a bracket axis and has a clamping section with which the holding frame in a recess the corresponding circumferential side can be determined.

Einzelne Setzlettern können für vorhandene Setzrahmen nachgeliefert und bei entspechender Ausbildung ihres Fußteils auch auf vorhandene Setzrahmen abgestimmt werden. Individual types can be supplied for existing frames and if they are Training of your foot section also matched to existing frames become.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß zwischen der Oberseite des Setzrahmens und der kurzen oberen Trapezseite der Nuten ein im Querschnitt rechteckförmiger Nutabschnitt ausgebildet ist, dessen lichte Weite gleich oder geringer ist als die Länge der oberen Trapezseite. Hierdurch wird eine erhöhte Stabilität der Führung der Setzlettern in den Nuten erreicht.Another advantageous embodiment is that between the top of the frame and the short upper trapezoidal side of the grooves in cross section rectangular groove section is formed, the clear width is equal to or is less than the length of the upper trapezoidal side. This will increase Stability of guidance of the set letters in the grooves is achieved.

Ist vorgesehen, daß an dem Setzrahmen im Bereich der Gelenkachse Ausnehmungen zum Ausbilden von Gelenkstellen vorgesehen sind, so kann der Halterahmen mit einfachen Mitteln an dem Setzrahmen angelenkt werden.It is provided that recesses on the setting frame in the region of the hinge axis are provided to form articulation points, the Holding frame can be articulated on the setting frame with simple means.

Die Halteplatten können auf einfache Weise derart festgelegt werden, daß sie Zapfen aufweisen, mit denen sie in Aufnahmen an der entsprechenden Umfangsseite im Bereich der stirnseitigen Ränder der Nuten festlegbar sind.The holding plates can be easily set so that they Have pegs with which they are recorded in the corresponding circumferential side can be fixed in the area of the front edges of the grooves.

Die Aufnahmen an dem Setzrahmen sind dabei gegenüber der Umfangsseite zurückgesetzt und wirken nicht störend.The recordings on the riser are opposite the peripheral side reset and do not interfere.

Mit der Maßnahme, daß mehrere Setzrahmen an den Unmfangsseiten aufeinander abgestimmte Befestigungsstellen aufweisen, mittels derer sie zu einer größeren Einheit zusammensetzbar sind, wird erreicht, daß ein vergrößerter Setzrahmen z.B. in DIN A3 oder DIN A2 auf einfache Weise gebildet werden kann, wobei die elementaren Setzrahmen z.B DIN A4 Format haben.With the measure that several setting frames on the circumferential sides of each other have coordinated attachment points, by means of which they become a larger one Unit can be assembled, it is achieved that an enlarged setting frame e.g. in A3 or A2 can be easily formed, the elementary frame, e.g. A4 format.

Eine vergrößerte, z.B. plakative Schrift kann dadurch erzeugt werden, daß die Setzlettern seitlich über die Nuten hinausragende Abschnitte aufweisen, mit deren dem Setzrahmen zugekehrter Unterseite sie auf der Oberseite des Setzrahmens aufliegen. Dabei kann die Fläche des Setzrahmens optimal genutzt werden, wenn vorgesehen ist, daß die Setzlettern zweier Zeilen mit ihren hinausragenden Abschnitten aneinandergrenzen. Eine weitere Vergrößerung der Druckzeichen wird dadurch ermöglicht, daß die hinausragenden Abschnitte der Setzlettern mindestens eine benachbarte Nut mindestens teilweise überragen.An enlarged, e.g. bold writing can be created by the fact that the Setter type have laterally protruding sections with their the underside facing the frame on the top of the frame lie on. The area of the setting frame can be used optimally, if it is provided that the typesetting of two lines with their protruding Adjacent sections. A further enlargement of the print characters will thereby allowing the protruding portions of the typesetting at least protrude at least partially from an adjacent groove.

Im Inneren zeigt der Setzletter 1 senkrecht zur Buchstabenfläche verlaufende Aussparungen 8 in vier Quadranten der rechteckigen Querschnittsform. Die Aussparungen 8 sind von Versteifungsrippen 2 und zwischen diesen verlaufenden Stegen 3 umgeben, so daß sich einerseits ein geringer Materialbedarf und andererseits eine gute Stabilität ergibt. Die Aussparungen 8 haben den Vorteil, daß sie auf der Rückseite der Buchstaben Öffnungen bilden, durch die die Buchstaben in der normalen Schreibausrichtung ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Spiegels erkennbar sind. Das verbleibende Material auf der Vorderseite der Setzlettern 1 ist relativ dünn. In dem von den Buchstaben abgewandten Endbereich besitzen die Setzlettern seitliche Schwalbenschwanzführungen 5, mit denen sie in einer entsprechenden Aufnahme bzw. Nut 6.1 eines Setzrahmens 6 verschieblich aufnehmbar sind. Weiterhin ist an einer Seitenwand senkrecht zur Buchstabenebene eine Ausnehmung in Form einer Längsnut 4 vorgesehen, die bei allen Setzlettern auf der gleichen Seite ausgebildet ist, so daß die Buchstaben ohne Schwierigkeiten stets richtig ausgerichtet zusammengesetzt werden. In der zweiten Spalte ist ein Setzletter ohne Schwalbenschwanzführung, aber bei sonst gleicher Ausbildung wie in der linken Spalte gezeigt.1 shows in the left column a transparent setting letter 1 in a bottom view, Side and top view. On the right side is the corresponding letter 1 shown in perspective. Inside, set letter 1 shows Recesses 8 running perpendicular to the face of the letter in four quadrants the rectangular cross-sectional shape. The recesses 8 are of stiffening ribs 2 and between these extending webs 3, so that on the one hand a low material requirement and on the other hand results in good stability. The Recesses 8 have the advantage that they are on the back of the letters Form openings through which the letters are in the normal writing orientation are recognizable without the aid of a mirror. The remaining material on the front of the setting letters 1 is relatively thin. In that of the letters The setting type has side dovetail guides on the opposite end area 5, with which they are in a corresponding receptacle or groove 6.1 of a setting frame 6 are slidably receivable. It is also vertical on one side wall a recess in the form of a longitudinal groove 4 is provided for the letter plane, which is formed on all typeset on the same side, so that the Letters always put together correctly aligned without difficulty become. In the second column is a setting letter without a dovetail guide, but with otherwise the same training as shown in the left column.

Die gezeigten Setzlettern bestehen aus Kunststoff, und zwar z.B. vorteilhafterweise aus Polycarbonat. das gesundheitlich ungefährlich ist und daher auch bei Kindern verwendbar ist. Diese Kunststoffe haben hohe mechanische Festigkeit und gute Alterungs- und Wärmebeständigkeit. The set letters shown are made of plastic, e.g. advantageously made of polycarbonate. that is harmless to health and therefore also in children is usable. These plastics have high mechanical strength and good Resistance to aging and heat.

In Fig.1, rechte Spalte unten, ist ein Ausschnitt des bereits erwähnten Setzrahmens 6 mit einer an die Schwalbenschwanzführung 5 angepaßten trapezförmigen Nut 6.1 gezeigt. Der Setzrahmen 6 ist in Fig.2 in der oberen Darstellung in Seitenansicht und in der unteren Darstellung in Draufsicht gezeigt. Die trapezförmigen Nuten 6.1 sind vorzugsweise auf beiden Stirnseiten offen, so daß bei falsch eingesetzten Setzlettern 1 diese leicht von der günstigsten Seite her richtig eingesetzt oder herausgenommen werden können. Um den Setzrahmen 6 herum ist ein Halterahmen 7 vorgesehen, der vorliegend schwenkbar an einer parallel zu den Nuten 6.1 verlaufenden, in der Fig. an dem linken Rand des Setzrahmens 6 befindlichen Gelenkachse 7.2 gelagert ist. Auf dem gegenüberliegenden Rand des Setzrahmens ist ein um eine Bügelachse 7.11 schwenkbar gelagerter Haltebügel 7.1 vorgesehen, der an seinem in der eingeschwenkten Stellung unteren Bereich mittels eines elastischen Spannabschnittes 7.12 an der Unterseite des Setzrahmens 6 oder in einer dort vorgesehenen Aussparung festgelegt wird. Der Halterahmen 7 begrenzt die Nuten 6.1 im heruntergeschwenkten Zustand auf beiden Seiten, so daß die Setzlettern 1 in den Nuten 6.1 sicher gehalten sind. Zum Auffüllen nicht vollständig besetzter Nuten 6.1 können entsprechende Paßstücke neben den Setzlettern 1 eingesetzt werden, so daß diese nicht verschoben werden können.In Fig. 1, right column below, is a section of the already mentioned setting frame 6 with a trapezoidal shape adapted to the dovetail guide 5 Groove 6.1 shown. The setting frame 6 is in Figure 2 in the upper representation shown in side view and in the bottom view in plan view. The trapezoidal Grooves 6.1 are preferably open on both faces, so that at Incorrectly used typesetting 1 easily correct them from the cheapest side can be inserted or removed. Around the setting frame 6 a holding frame 7 is provided, which in the present case is pivotable on a parallel to the Grooves 6.1 running, located in the figure on the left edge of the setting frame 6 Joint axis 7.2 is mounted. On the opposite edge of the The setting frame is a holding bracket which is pivotably mounted about a bracket axis 7.11 7.1 provided that at its lower in the pivoted position by means of an elastic clamping section 7.12 on the underside of the setting frame 6 or in a recess provided there. The holding frame 7 limits the grooves 6.1 in the swung-down state on both Sides, so that the setting letters 1 are held securely in the grooves 6.1. To the Corresponding adapters can be filled in not completely filled grooves 6.1 be used next to the typesetter 1 so that they are not moved can.

Die Setzlettern können je nach Breite der Buchstaben, wie z.B. W oder I, unterschiedliche Breiten aufweisen, so daß sich von Buchstabe zu Buchstabe keine unterschiedlichen Abstände ergeben und das Druckbild einheitlich ist. Mit den Setzlettern lassen sich Druckbuchstaben in verschiedenen gängigen Schriftarten und Größen von z.B. 12 bis 36 Punkt herstellen. Depending on the width of the letters, e.g. W or I, different Have widths, so that from letter to letter none result in different distances and the print image is uniform. With the Typesetting letters can be printed in various common fonts and sizes of e.g. Make 12 to 36 points.

In der Fig. 3 ist ein Ausschnitt einer Seitenansicht auf die Stirnseiten der Nuten 6.1' wiedergegeben, deren unterer Teil trapezförmig und deren oberer, der Oberseite des Setzrahmens zugewandter Teil im Querschnitt rechteckförmig ausgebildet ist. Durch diese Form ergibt sich eine verstärkte seitliche Abstützung der Setzlettern 1 bzw. 1'. Beispielsweise sind die Setzlettern 1' im oberen Bereich T-förmig ausgebildet und überragen den Rand der Nut soweit, daß die beiden benachbarten Nuten 6.1' bis zur Hälfte abgedeckt werden. An den seitlichen Rand der Setzlettern 1' grenzt ein weiterer Setzletter 1', der unter Freilassen der teilweise überdeckten Nut 6.1' in die nachfolgende Nut eingesetzt ist. Die Setzlettern stützen sich mit der Unterseite des T-förmigen Abschnitts auf der Oberseite des Setzrahmens 6 ab, so daß auch dadurch eine erhöhte Stabilität beim Drucken erzielt wird. Mit diesen Maßnahmen ist eine große, plakative Schrift erzielbar.3 is a section of a side view of the end faces of the grooves 6.1 'reproduced, the lower part trapezoidal and the upper, the top of the frame facing part is rectangular in cross section is. This shape results in increased lateral support for the typesetting 1 or 1 '. For example, the setting letters 1 'are T-shaped in the upper region trained and protrude the edge of the groove so far that the two neighboring Grooves 6.1 'are covered up to half. On the side edge of the typesetter 1 'borders another set letter 1', which leaves the partially covered blank Groove 6.1 'is inserted in the following groove.

In this way, on each circumferential side frame 6 with appropriate Attachment points 10 are set so that, for example starting from an A4 format, an A3 format and can also form a DIN A2 format, etc.

Die in den Figuren 3, 4, 5 und 7 gezeigte Ausführungsform des Setzrahmens 6 besitzt im Bereich der Schwenkachse des Halterahmens 7 seitliche Ausnehmungen 6.3, an denen ungehindert ein Verschwenkmechanismus für den Halterahmen 7 untergebracht werden kann. Der Haltebügel 7.1 greift in eine Vertiefung 6.2 in der oberen Umfangsseite des Setzrahmens 6 ein, so daß die untere Bügelseite von der Unterseite des Setzrahmens 6 beabstandet ist und die Aufstellung nicht behindert. Alternativ könnte der Setzrahmen 6 auch mit Füßen versehen werden, und der Haltebügel 7.1 könnte wie bei dem vorangegangenen Ausführungsbeispiel unter die Unterseite des Setzrahmens greifen, ohne daß er die Auflage stört.The embodiment of the setting frame 6 shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 7 has 7 lateral recesses in the area of the pivot axis of the holding frame 6.3, on which a pivoting mechanism for the holding frame 7 can be accommodated. The bracket 7.1 engages in a recess 6.2 in the upper peripheral side of the frame 6, so that the lower side of the bracket of the Bottom of the frame 6 is spaced and does not hinder the installation. Alternatively, the setting frame 6 could also be provided with feet, and the Retaining bracket 7.1 could under as in the previous embodiment grab the underside of the frame without disturbing the support.

Wie die Figuren 6A bis 6C zeigen, können in Aufnahmen 6.4 im Bereich der Stirnseite der Nuten 6.1' Halteplatten 9 mittels Zapfen 9.1 festgelegt werden, durch die ähnlich wie durch den Halterahmen 7, die Setzlettern 1 bzw. 1' in den Nuten 6.1 bzw. 6.1' gesichtert werden. Derartige Halteplatten 9 können problemlos an den freien Umfangsseiten auch dann verwendet werden, wenn mehrere elementare Setzrahmen 6 zu einem größeren Setzrahmen erweitert werden.As FIGS. 6A to 6C show, recordings 6.4 in the area of Front of the grooves 6.1 'holding plates 9 are fixed by means of pins 9.1, by similar to the holding frame 7, the setting letters 1 and 1 'in the Grooves 6.1 and 6.1 'are sifted. Such holding plates 9 can can be used on the free circumferential sides even if several elementary frame 6 expanded to a larger frame become.
