Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for joining folded products gathered on a gathering chain, in particular folding sheets or thread-sealed folded sheets.
- Saddle stitchers are paper-making machines that produce a product from a plurality of folded sheets, wherein the individual folded sheets are joined together to form a final product.
- the end products thus produced are multipage printed products, such as magazines, brochures or the like.
- Such saddle stitchers usually have one or more Falzbogenanleger that feed the individual signatures of a gathering chain on which the different signatures are collected in groups so that the desired end product is formed.
- the groups of signatures hanging on the gathering chain are usually fed to a stitching station which has one or more stitching heads.
- the folded products are connected to their backs with wire staples. After stapling, the groups of signatures thus linked are fed to a trimmer, which provides for the marginal cut of the stapled products and then subsequently delivers them to a delivery.
- the folded sheets which are provided lying in the folded sheet feeder or standing on his back, are isolated, opened and placed on the gathering chain. This process is repeated with each folded sheet feeder until the desired number of folded products as a group one above the other hangs on the gathering chain and is arranged in register on this. Finally, a folded cover sheet is fed to the group either using the last feeder. Alternatively, a sheet can also be folded during feeding onto the gathering chain by means of a so-called envelope folder feeder and thus the envelope can be arranged above the group of folded products.
- the envelope is fed together with the other folded products to a stitching station in which one or more staples are stung through the backs of the folded products and thus the folded products and the envelope are joined together.
- a stitching station in which one or more staples are stung through the backs of the folded products and thus the folded products and the envelope are joined together.
- the joining of the folded products with staples leads to a secure connection of the folded products with each other, it may be necessary that the folded products are connected to each other other than by wire staples. This is particularly the case when the end product to be produced is to be used predominantly by children or infants, where it is particularly important to ensure that a possible risk of injury is excluded. For example, coloring books made for children and construction or operating manuals for children's toys that are stapled with a wire clip on the inside can easily cause injuries to the child's hands.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to provide an alternative device with which it is possible to firmly connect Falz area on a saddle stitcher together and yet to avoid the risk of injury by a wire stitching.
- the device according to the invention is thus distinguished by the fact that at least one additional station is provided on the saddle stitcher with the aid of which it is possible to apply adhesives or sizing agents to the back of the hemming product located at the top in a group of folded products or to a single folded product. so that the possibility is created to apply a cover page and firmly connect with the other folding products or, without thereby wire clips. use. It is particularly advantageous if the group of folded products without the envelope are already connected to each other in other ways. In particular thread-sealed folded products come into consideration, which have been thermoplastically bonded in a previous operation using a thread.
- the device according to the invention thus has the advantage that with its help printed products can be produced which are firmly connected to one another, wherein wire staples, which always entail a risk of injury, can be completely dispensed with. Moreover, it is advantageous that the costly removal of the wire staples is completely eliminated when recycling the paper material and thus the recycling process is considerably simplified.
- the device according to the invention also has the advantage that the gluing station can be attached to existing saddle stitcher as an additional element, so that there is the possibility to perform either the classic stapling using wire staples and / or a staple-free joining the folded products using the Beleimungsstation ,
- a conveyor or transport device of a saddle stitcher is shown schematically with Beleimstation.
- This transport device is usually designed as a gathering chain 10.
- On the gathering chain 10 are from a plurality of Falzbogenanlegern, which are not shown for reasons of clarity in Fig. 1, from the present in each Falzbogenanlegern Falz,stapeln 12, 14 individual Folded products 20a, 20b conveyed, so that they come to rest one above the other hanging on the gathering chain.
- the stacks of folded products can be supplied as stacks 12 standing on their backs or as stacks 14 lying on one of their faces of the gathering chain.
- the folded products 20a, 20b may, for example, be folded sheets, signatures or folded signatures or sheets which are already connected to one another in a preceding work step. For the previous connection of the folded products in particular the so-called thread sealing comes into consideration.
- Each group of signatures 16 is conveyed on the conveyor chain 10 in the direction of the arrow A and thus reaches a device 25 with the aid of which it is possible to apply an adhesive, such as a glue, to the back 32 of the uppermost folded product 20a of a group 16 to apply.
- an adhesive such as a glue
- the group is moved further in the direction of arrow A and can be guided to another station 11, in which a further 20 b is laid over the topmost folded product 20 a.
- a pressure roller 27 the folded product 20b is firmly connected to the other folded products, in particular to the folded product 20a.
- a second glue station 24 can be optimally provided, with which glue is now applied in a similar manner to the folded product 20b which is now at the top.
- the group 18 arrives at a further station 26.
- a cover page 22 is placed on the adhesive-covered back 32 of the signature 20b. This is then pressed by means of the pressure roller 29.
- the thus finished multi-page printed product for example a magazine, a user manual or a booklet, other processing or processing stations such. a station for trimming are supplied.
- the saddle stitching according to the invention has a station for applying staples, which can be used as an alternative to applying the adhesive to the station 24, so that the saddle stitcher, depending on the final product to be produced by stapling or can produce by gluing interconnected folded products.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows a device according to the invention in the area of the gluing station 24.
- the uppermost folded product 20b of the group 18 is conveyed by underlying folded products 16 (FIG. 1) in the transporting direction A, wherein the folded products are aligned by a transporting finger 28 mounted on the conveyor chain 10.
- a glue application head 30 is applied to the back of the topmost folded product 20b adhesive, while the gathering chain moves along with the folded products under the glue application heads 30 in the direction of arrow A.
- the amount and timing at which the adhesive is applied is controlled via a controller 36, a sizer 37, and a sensor 34.
- a glue application head 30 is connected to lines 38.
- a conduit carries the adhesive, and the conduits 38 transmit the control pulses and pressurized air for adhesive application.
- the sensor 34 detects the leading edge of the folded product and outputs a signal via line 41 for further processing to the control unit 36, which controls the length of the glue line to be applied and the interval in which no glue is applied.
- a hold-down device 40 is provided, adjustable in height, for holding down the folded product 20b during gluing.
- the group of folded products 18 (FIG. 1), as already described in FIG. 1, are fed to a station 26 in which an envelope is applied to the splice and all the folded products are connected to one another. It is thus advantageous to provide the gluing station as the last station immediately before the application of the envelope to the gathering chain.
- the glued product is preferably fed to the gluing point of a pressing station 29, in which the envelope 22 is pressed against the remaining folded products 20a, 20b, 16.
- the pressure station preferably a spring-loaded form roller, presses together the folded sheets in such a way that the glued point is fixed and an exact connection is produced.
- the device according to the invention can furthermore be advantageously used if only one of the folding sheet feeders, which are usually present several times, is stocked and in operation, and folding products already connected to one another are already present in these folded sheet feeders. For example, these may be folded products joined together by thread sealing. These are then fed to the gathering chain as described. The adhesive is then applied to the back of the interconnected folding products, which is then, as described, covered in a further process step by a cover page and firmly connected by the adhesive with the thread-sealed folded products.
- a final product can be produced, the insides of which are connected to one another by means of the thread-sealing technique or other methods, and which has an envelope side which is fastened to the thread-sealed folded products with the aid of an adhesive. From the outside, therefore, it can not be seen on this product by which connection the individual folded products adhere to one another.
- this end product has no sharp or sharp wire stitching, so this product also meets increased security needs.
- the adhesive station 24 and optionally the pressure station 27 can be provided several times, so that, for example, after each or after some of the folded sheet feeder an adhesive station 24 is provided.
- Suitable adhesives are all suitable for the connection of folded products adhesives, such as glue, but especially dispersion glue, hot glue, PUR glue or Fugitivleim.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Verbinden von auf einer Sammelkette zusammengetragenen Falzprodukten, insbesondere Falzbogen oder fadengesiegelte Falzbogen.The invention relates to a device for joining folded products gathered on a gathering chain, in particular folding sheets or thread-sealed folded sheets.
Sammelhefter sind papierverarbeitende Maschinen, die aus einer Mehrzahl von gefalzten Bögen ein Produkt herstellen, wobei die einzelnen gefalzten Bögen so mit einander verbunden werden, dass ein Endprodukt entsteht. Bei den so hergestellten Endprodukten handelt es sich um mehrseitige Druckprodukte, wie beispielsweise Magazine, Broschüren oder ähnliches. Derartige Sammelhefter weisen üblicherweise einen oder mehrere Falzbogenanleger auf, die die einzelnen Falzbögen einer Sammelkette zuführen, auf der die unterschiedlichen Falzbögen so in Gruppen gesammelt werden, dass das gewünschte Endprodukt entsteht. Die auf der Sammelkette hängenden Gruppen von Falzbögen werden üblicherweise einer Heftstation, die einen oder mehrere Heftköpfe aufweist, zugeführt. In der Heftstation werden die Falzprodukte an ihren Rücken mit Drahtheftklammern verbunden. Nach dem Heften werden die so miteinander verbundenen Gruppen von Falzbögen einem Trimmer zugeführt, der für den Randschnitt der gehefteten Erzeugnisse sorgt und diese dann anschließend einer Auslage zuführt.Saddle stitchers are paper-making machines that produce a product from a plurality of folded sheets, wherein the individual folded sheets are joined together to form a final product. The end products thus produced are multipage printed products, such as magazines, brochures or the like. Such saddle stitchers usually have one or more Falzbogenanleger that feed the individual signatures of a gathering chain on which the different signatures are collected in groups so that the desired end product is formed. The groups of signatures hanging on the gathering chain are usually fed to a stitching station which has one or more stitching heads. In the stitching station, the folded products are connected to their backs with wire staples. After stapling, the groups of signatures thus linked are fed to a trimmer, which provides for the marginal cut of the stapled products and then subsequently delivers them to a delivery.
Die Falzbogen, die im Falzbogenanleger liegend oder auf dem Rücken stehend vorgesehen sind, werden vereinzelt, geöffnet und auf die Sammelkette aufgelegt. Dieser Vorgang wird mit jedem Falzbogenanleger solange wiederholt bis die gewünschte Anzahl von Falzprodukten als Gruppe übereinander auf der Sammelkette hängt und auf dieser registergenau angeordnet ist. Abschließend wird der Gruppe entweder mithilfe des letzten Anlegers ein gefalztes Deckblatt zugeführt. Alternativ kann auch mithilfe eines so genannten Umschlagfalzanlegers ein Bogen während der Zuführung auf die Sammelkette gefalzt und so der Umschlag über der Gruppe von Falzprodukten angeordnet werden.The folded sheets, which are provided lying in the folded sheet feeder or standing on his back, are isolated, opened and placed on the gathering chain. This process is repeated with each folded sheet feeder until the desired number of folded products as a group one above the other hangs on the gathering chain and is arranged in register on this. Finally, a folded cover sheet is fed to the group either using the last feeder. Alternatively, a sheet can also be folded during feeding onto the gathering chain by means of a so-called envelope folder feeder and thus the envelope can be arranged above the group of folded products.
Zum Verbinden der so gesammelten Falzprodukte wird der Umschlag zusammen mit den übrigen Falzprodukten einer Heftstation zugeführt, in der ein oder mehrere Heftklammern durch die Rücken der Falzprodukte gestochen und somit die Falzprodukte sowie der Umschlag miteinander verbunden werden. Ein derartiges Verfahren ist beispielsweise aus dem Deutschen Patent DE 197 38 929 bekannt.To connect the folded products thus collected, the envelope is fed together with the other folded products to a stitching station in which one or more staples are stung through the backs of the folded products and thus the folded products and the envelope are joined together. Such a method is known for example from German Patent DE 197 38 929.
Aus der US 5,137,409 ist ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Verbinden von Druckerei-Teilprodukten zu einem Endprodukt bekannt. Die Druckerei-Teilprodukte sind bereits vorgebunden und werden auf Sammelauflagen rücklings aufliegend rotierend an einer Klebestation vorbeigeführt, an welcher die Falzrückenkante des bereits vorgebundenen Teilproduktes mit einem Kleber beaufschlagt wird. Anschließend wird ein weiteres Teilprodukt oder ein Umschlag auf das Teilprodukt aufgebracht und mit diesem verklebt.From US 5,137,409 a method and an apparatus for connecting printing partial products to a final product is known. The printing sub-products are already pre-bound and are passed on collecting pads on the back resting on a gluing station, where the Falzrückenkante of already pre-bound sub-product is applied with an adhesive. Subsequently, another partial product or an envelope is applied to the partial product and glued to it.
Aus der US 5,678,813 ist eine Verbindung bekannt, die eine Heft- und eine Beleimstation aufweist. Nachdem die Signaturen in der Heftstation geheftet wurden, werden die Signaturen anschließend auf ihrer Rückseite beleimt. Anschließend wird der Umschlag aufgelegt und angepresst.From US 5,678,813 a compound is known which comprises a stitching and a gluing station. After the signatures have been stapled in the stitching station, the signatures are then glued on their backs. Then the envelope is placed on and pressed.
Obwohl die Verbindung der Falzprodukte mit Heftklammern zu einer sicheren Verknüpfung der Falzprodukte miteinander führt, kann es erforderlich sein, dass die Falzprodukte anders als durch Drahtklammern miteinander verbunden werden. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn das zu erzeugende Endprodukt überwiegend von Kindern oder Kleinkindern benutzt werden soll, bei denen besonders stark darauf zu achten ist, dass eine mögliche Verletzungsgefahr ausgeschlossen wird. So können beispielsweise für Kinder hergestellte Malbücher sowie Bau- oder Bedienungsanleitungen für Kinderspielzeuge, die mit einer Drahtklammer geheftet sind an ihrer Innenseite leicht zu Verletzungen an den Kinderhänden führen.Although the joining of the folded products with staples leads to a secure connection of the folded products with each other, it may be necessary that the folded products are connected to each other other than by wire staples. This is particularly the case when the end product to be produced is to be used predominantly by children or infants, where it is particularly important to ensure that a possible risk of injury is excluded. For example, coloring books made for children and construction or operating manuals for children's toys that are stapled with a wire clip on the inside can easily cause injuries to the child's hands.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine alternative Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der es möglich ist, Falzprodukte auf einem Sammelhefter fest miteinander zu verbinden und dennoch die Verletzungsgefahr durch eine Drahtheftung zu vermeiden.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide an alternative device with which it is possible to firmly connect Falzprodukte on a saddle stitcher together and yet to avoid the risk of injury by a wire stitching.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a device according to the features of claim 1.
Generell zeichnet sich die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung also dadurch aus, dass am Sammelhefter wenigstens eine zusätzliche Station vorgesehen ist, mit deren Hilfe es möglich ist, Kleb- oder Leimstoffe auf den Rücken des in einer Gruppe von Falzprodukten zuoberst liegenden Falzproduktes oder auf ein einzelnes Falzprodukt aufzutragen, so dass damit die Möglichkeit geschaffen wird, eine Umschlagsseite aufzubringen und mit dem oder den übrigen Falzprodukten fest zu verbinden, ohne dabei Drahtklammern zu. verwenden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es dabei, wenn die Gruppe von Falzprodukten ohne den Umschlag bereits auf andere Weise miteinander verbunden sind. Hierbei kommen insbesondere fadengesiegelte Falzprodukte in Betracht, die in einem vorherigen Arbeitsgang mit Hilfe eines Fadens thermoplastisch verbunden worden sind.In general, the device according to the invention is thus distinguished by the fact that at least one additional station is provided on the saddle stitcher with the aid of which it is possible to apply adhesives or sizing agents to the back of the hemming product located at the top in a group of folded products or to a single folded product. so that the possibility is created to apply a cover page and firmly connect with the other folding products or, without thereby wire clips. use. It is particularly advantageous if the group of folded products without the envelope are already connected to each other in other ways. In particular thread-sealed folded products come into consideration, which have been thermoplastically bonded in a previous operation using a thread.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung hat somit den Vorteil, dass mit ihrer Hilfe Druckprodukte erzeugt werden können, die fest miteinander verbunden sind, wobei auf Drahtklammern, die immer eine Verletzungsgefahr in sich bergen, vollständig verzichtet werden kann. Darüber hinaus ist es von Vorteil, dass beim Recycling des Papiermaterials das aufwendige Entfernen der Drahtklammern vollständig entfällt und somit der Recyclingprozess erheblich vereinfacht wird.The device according to the invention thus has the advantage that with its help printed products can be produced which are firmly connected to one another, wherein wire staples, which always entail a risk of injury, can be completely dispensed with. Moreover, it is advantageous that the costly removal of the wire staples is completely eliminated when recycling the paper material and thus the recycling process is considerably simplified.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung beinhaltet darüber hinaus den Vorteil, dass die Beleimungsstation an bereits bestehende Sammelhefter als Zusatzelement angebracht werden kann, so dass damit die Möglichkeit besteht, wahlweise die klassische Klammerheftung mit Hilfe von Drahtklammern und/oder ein klammerloses Verbinden der Falzprodukte mit Hilfe der Beleimungsstation durchzuführen.The device according to the invention also has the advantage that the gluing station can be attached to existing saddle stitcher as an additional element, so that there is the possibility to perform either the classic stapling using wire staples and / or a staple-free joining the folded products using the Beleimungsstation ,
Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklungen sind Gegenstand der nachfolgenden Figuren und deren Beschreibungen, bei deren Darstellung zugunsten der Übersichtlichkeit auf einen maßstabgetreue Wiedergabe verzichtet wurde. Es zeigen im Einzelnen:

In Fig. 1 ist schematisch eine Fördereinrichtung bzw. Transportvorrichtung eines erfindungsgemäßen Sammelhefters mit Beleimstation gezeigt. Diese Transportvorrichtung ist üblicherweise als Sammelkette 10 ausgeführt. Auf die Sammelkette 10 werden von einer Vielzahl von Falzbogenanlegern, die aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit in Fig. 1 nicht gezeigt sind, aus den jeweils in den Falzbogenanlegern vorhandenen Falzproduktstapeln 12, 14 einzelne Falzprodukte 20a, 20b gefördert, so dass diese übereinander hängend auf der Sammelkette zum Liegen kommen. Auf diese Weise entstehen Gruppen von Falzprodukten 16, 18, die auf der Sammelkette in Pfeilrichtung A befördert werden. Wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, können die Stapel von Falzprodukten dabei als Stapel 12 auf ihrem Rücken stehend oder als Stapel 14 auf einer ihrer Flächen liegend der Sammelkette zugeführt werden. Bei den Falzprodukten 20a, 20b kann es sich beispielsweise um gefalzte Bögen, Signaturen oder bereits in einem vorhergehenden Arbeitsschritt miteinander verbundene gefalzte Signaturen oder Bögen handeln. Zur vorherigen Verbindung der Falzprodukte kommt insbesondere das so genannte Fadensiegeln in Betracht.In Fig. 1, a conveyor or transport device of a saddle stitcher according to the invention is shown schematically with Beleimstation. This transport device is usually designed as a
Jede Gruppe von Signaturen 16 wird auf der Förderkette 10 in Richtung des Pfeiles A gefördert und gelangt so zu einer Einrichtung 25, mit deren Hilfe es möglich ist, einen Klebstoff, wie beispielsweise einen Leim, auf den Rücken 32 des zuoberst liegenden Falzproduktes 20a einer Gruppe 16 aufzutragen. Nach dem Auftragen des Klebstoffes wird die Gruppe weiter in Pfeilrichtung A bewegt und kann zu einer weiteren Station 11 geführt werden, in der über das zu oberst liegende Falzprodukt 20a ein weiteres 20b gelegt wird. Mithilfe einer Andruckrolle 27 wird das Falzprodukt 20b fest mit den übrigen Falzprodukten, insbesondere mit dem Falzprodukt 20a verbunden.Each group of
Weiterhin kann optimal eine zweite Leimstation 24 vorgesehen werde, mit der nun in ähnlicher Weise Leim auf das nun zu oberst liegende Falzprodukt 20b aufgetragen wird. Durch den weiteren Transport der Gruppe 18 entlang des Förderweges A gelangt die Gruppe 18 zu einer weiteren Station 26.Furthermore, a
Hier wird auf die Gruppe 18 eine Umschlagsseite 22 auf den mit Klebstoff bedeckten Rücken 32 der Signatur 20b gelegt wird. Diese wird anschließend mithilfe der Andruckrolle 29 angedrückt.Here, on the
Sofern also alle Falzprodukte einer Gruppe 16, 18 bereits miteinander verbunden sind, wird durch das Aufbringen des Klebstoffes in der Station 24 das vollständige Verbinden einer Umschlagseite mit den übrigen Falzprodukten ermöglicht, ohne dass es erforderlich wäre, die Falzprodukte mit Hilfe von Drahtklammern zu heften.Thus, if all the folded products of a
Nach dem Verbinden aller Falzprodukte inklusive der Umschlagseite 22 kann das so fertiggestellte mehrseitige Druckprodukt, beispielsweise ein Magazin, eine Bedienungsanleitung oder ein Malheft, weiteren Ver- oder Bearbeitungsstationen wie z.B. einer Station zum Trimmen zugeführt werden.After joining all the folded products including the
Obwohl das erfindungsgemäße Verbinden der Falzprodukte vollständig ohne Heften auskommt, weist der Sammelheften erfindungsgemäß eine Station zum Aufbringen von Heftklammern auf, die als Alternative zum Aufbringen des Klebstoffes mit der Station 24 verwendet werden kann, so dass der Sammelhefter je nach zu produzierendem Endprodukt durch Heften oder durch Kleben miteinander verbundene Falzprodukte erzeugen kann.Although the inventive joining of the folded products gets by completely without stapling, the saddle stitching according to the invention has a station for applying staples, which can be used as an alternative to applying the adhesive to the
In Fig. 2 ist schematisch eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung im Bereich der Beleimstation 24 gezeigt. Auf einer Sammelkette 10 wird das oberste Falzprodukt 20b der Gruppe 18 von darunter liegenden Falzprodukten 16 (Fig. 1) in Transportrichtung A gefördert, wobei die Falzprodukte durch einen auf der Förderkette 10 angebrachten Transportfinger 28 ausgerichtet werden. Mit Hilfe eines Leimauftragskopfes 30 wird auf den Rücken des zu oberst liegenden Falzproduktes 20b Klebstoff aufgetragen, während sich die Sammelkette zusammen mit den Falzprodukten unter den Leimauftragsköpfen 30 in Pfeilrichtung A fortbewegt. Die Menge und der Zeitpunkt, zu welchem der Klebstoff aufgebracht wird, wird über ein Steuergerät 36, ein Leimgerät 37 und einen Sensor 34 gesteuert. Dabei ist ein Leimauftragskopf 30 mit Leitungen 38 verbunden. Eine Leitung führt den Klebstoff, und die Leitungen 38 übertragen die Steuerimpulse und die Druckluft für den Klebstoffauftrag. Der Sensor 34 erfasst die Vorderkante des Falzproduktes und gibt ein Signal über Leitung 41 zur Weiterverarbeitung an das Steuergerät 36, welches die Länge der aufzutragenden Leimspur und das Intervall, in dem kein Leim aufgetragen wird, steuert. Eine Niederhalteeinrichtung 40 ist, in ihrer Höhe einstellbar, zum Niederhalten des Falzproduktes 20b während der Beleimung vorgesehen.FIG. 2 schematically shows a device according to the invention in the area of the
Nach dem Beleimen des Rückens 32 wird die Gruppe von Falzprodukten 18 (Fig. 1), wie in Fig. 1 bereits beschrieben, einer Station 26 zugeführt, in der ein Umschlag auf die Klebestelle aufgebracht und damit alle Falzprodukte miteinander verbunden werden. Es ist damit vorteilhaft, die Beleimstation als letzte Station unmittelbar vor dem Aufbringen des Umschlages auf die Sammelkette vorzusehen.After gluing the
Bevorzugt wird das beleimte Produkt nach Aufbringen des Umschlages auf die Klebestelle einer Andruckstation 29 zugeführt, in der der Umschlag 22 an die übrigen Falzprodukte 20a, 20b, 16 angedrückt wird. Die Andruckstation, vorzugsweise eine gefederte Formrolle, presst die Falzbogen so zusammen, dass die Klebestelle fixiert und eine exakte Verbindung entsteht.After application of the envelope, the glued product is preferably fed to the gluing point of a
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung lässt sich weiterhin dann vorteilhaft verwenden, wenn nur einer, der üblicherweise mehrfach vorhandenen Falzbogenanlegern bestückt und in Betrieb ist und in diesen Falzbogenanlegern bereits miteinander verbundene Falzprodukte vorhanden sind. Dies können beispielsweise miteinander durch Fadensiegelung verbundene Falzprodukte sein. Diese werden dann, wie beschrieben, der Sammelkette zugeführt. Auf den Rücken der miteinander verbundenen Falzprodukte wird dann der Klebstoff aufgebracht, der dann, wie beschrieben, in einem weiteren Verfahrensschritt von einer Umschlagsseite abgedeckt und durch den Klebstoff fest mit den fadengesiegelten Falzprodukten verbunden wird. Dadurch lässt sich ein Endprodukt herstellen, dessen Innenseiten mit Hilfe der Fadensiegeltechnik oder anderer Verfahren miteinander verbunden sind, und das eine Umschlagsseite aufweist, die mit Hilfe eines Klebstoffes an den fadengesiegelten Falzprodukten befestigt ist. Von außen ist daher an diesem Produkt nicht zu erkennen, durch welche Verbindung die einzelnen Falzprodukte aneinander haften. Darüber hinaus weist dieses Endprodukt keinerlei spitze oder scharfe Drahtheftungen auf, so dass dieses Produkt auch gesteigerten Sicherheitsbedürfnissen entspricht.The device according to the invention can furthermore be advantageously used if only one of the folding sheet feeders, which are usually present several times, is stocked and in operation, and folding products already connected to one another are already present in these folded sheet feeders. For example, these may be folded products joined together by thread sealing. These are then fed to the gathering chain as described. The adhesive is then applied to the back of the interconnected folding products, which is then, as described, covered in a further process step by a cover page and firmly connected by the adhesive with the thread-sealed folded products. As a result, a final product can be produced, the insides of which are connected to one another by means of the thread-sealing technique or other methods, and which has an envelope side which is fastened to the thread-sealed folded products with the aid of an adhesive. From the outside, therefore, it can not be seen on this product by which connection the individual folded products adhere to one another. In addition, this end product has no sharp or sharp wire stitching, so this product also meets increased security needs.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung kann die Klebstoffstation 24 sowie ggf. die Andruckstation 27 mehrfach vorgesehen werden, so dass beispielsweise nach jeder oder nach einigen der Falzbogenanleger eine Klebstoffstation 24 vorgesehen ist. Mit Hilfe dieser Vielzahl von Klebstationen ist es nun möglich jeweils nach dem Aufbringen des Falzproduktes auf die Sammelkette auf dessen Rücken eine Klebstoffspur aufzubringen, die dann wiederum geeignet ist, das anschließend aufzubringende Falzprodukt mit den bereits auf der Sammelkette befindlichen Falzprodukten zu verkleben. Damit lässt sich ein Endprodukt herstellen, das vollständig aus mit Klebstoffen miteinander verbundenen Falzprodukten besteht.In a further advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention, the
Als Klebstoffe eignen sich alle für die Verbindung von Falzprodukten geeignete Klebstoffe, wie beispielsweise Leim, insbesondere jedoch Dispersionsleim, Heißleim, PUR-Leim oder Fugitivleim.Suitable adhesives are all suitable for the connection of folded products adhesives, such as glue, but especially dispersion glue, hot glue, PUR glue or Fugitivleim.
