Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Broschüren beliebiger Formate und Dicken mittels Drahtkammbindung, bei denen zum losen Verbinden einer aus mehreren blattförmigen Bedruckstoffen bestehenden Broschüre mindestens ein auf das jeweilige Format und Dicke der Broschüre abgestimmtes Drahtbindeelement auf Bedarf hergestellt und durch eine entlang eines Randes der Papierblätter versehene Lochungsreihe aufgenommen wird.The invention relates to a method for producing brochures of any format and thicknesses by means of wire comb binding, in which one of the loose connections brochure consisting of several sheet-like substrates at least one on the The respective format and thickness of the brochure matched wire binding element on request produced and by a row of perforations provided along an edge of the paper sheets is recorded.

Verfahren zur Herstellung von Broschüren, die sogenannte Wire-O™-Drahtbindeelemente (registrierte Handelsmarke) in verschiedenen Größen verwenden, sind beispielsweise aus den europäischen Patentanmeldungen 0 095 243-A1 und 0 095 245-B1, bekannt.Process for the production of brochures, the so-called Wire-O ™ wire binding elements (registered trademark) in different sizes are, for example, from European patent applications 0 095 243-A1 and 0 095 245-B1.

Wire-O-Drahtbindeelemente sind als parallel zueinander beabstandete Drahtschlaufen 44 mit einer Schlaufenlänge L, einem Schlaufenabstand A und einem Drahtdurchmesser D, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, definiert und werden mittels geeigneter Schließvorrichtungen zu einem Wire-O-Ring geformt.Wire-O wire binding elements are in the form of wire loops 44 spaced parallel to one another with a loop length L, a loop spacing A and a wire diameter D, as shown in Fig. 2, and are defined by means of suitable locking devices a wire-o-ring.

Die Bindeeinrichtungen zu den vorgenannten Patentanmeldungen sind dabei derart ausgestaltet, dass die Verarbeitung geformter Wire-O-Drahtbindeelemente mit verschiedenen Schlaufenabständen und -längen ermöglicht wird.The binding devices for the aforementioned patent applications are such designed that the processing of shaped Wire-O wire binding elements with different loop distances and lengths is made possible.

Generell besteht bei den genannten Vorrichtungen der Nachteil, dass zur Bindung von Broschüren unterschiedlicher Formate und Dicken die dafür notwendigen Drahtbindeelemente in Form mehrerer bereits geformter Bindeelementevorräte, z.B. als Rollenmaterial oder als auf Bindelänge geschnittene Elemente, der Bindeeinrichtung zur Verfügung gestellt werden müssen. Um diese unterschiedlichen Broschürenformate und -dicken binden zu können, ist bereits eine beachtliche Anzahl an Vorräten notwendig. Außerdem sind bei einem Formatwechsel der herzustellenden Broschüren die zum Transport und die zur Verarbeitung geeigneten Vorrichtungen an die Anforderungen der unterschiedlichen Drahtbindeelemente anzupassen. Diese Umrüstung erfordert aufwendige Konstruktionen der Transport- und Bindeeinrichtungen und macht das Bindeverfahren nur noch wirtschaftlich, wenn größere Stückzahlen einer Broschürendicke in einem Format hergestellt werden. Kleinere Auflagen sind daher unwirtschaftlich herzustellen und erfordern infolge der Maschinenanpassung einen längeren Zeitaufwand.In general, the devices mentioned have the disadvantage that for binding Brochures of different formats and thicknesses the necessary wire binding elements in the form of several already formed binding element stocks, e.g. as roll material or as elements cut to the length of the binding must be asked. Bind to these different brochure formats and thicknesses To be able to do so, a considerable number of stocks is already necessary. Also are in the event of a change in the format of the brochures to be produced, those for transport and those for Processing suitable devices to meet the requirements of different Adapt wire binding elements. This retrofitting requires complex designs of the transport and binding facilities and only makes the binding process economical, if larger quantities of a booklet thickness are produced in one format become. Smaller runs are therefore uneconomical to produce and consequently require the machine adaptation takes a longer time.

Aus der DE 28 47 700-A1 ist ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Drahtbindung für Blöcke usw. bekannt, bei dem ein von einem Vorrat kontinuierlich abgezogener Draht durch Hinund Herbiegen zu einem wellenförmigen Gebilde geformt wird, wobei das wellenförmige Drahtgebilde anschließend quer zur Ebene der Wellen in eine C-förmige Gestalt gebogen wird. Zur Biegung werden Formrollen mit festgelegten Durchmessern verwendet, so dass nur Drahtbindeelemente mit nicht veränderbaren Schlaufenabständen und -längen herstellbar sind.DE 28 47 700-A1 describes a method for producing a wire binding for blocks etc. known, in which a wire continuously withdrawn from a supply through Hinund Bending is formed into a wavy structure, the wavy Wire structures are then bent into a C-shaped shape transversely to the plane of the waves becomes. Forming rolls with fixed diameters are used for bending, so that only wire binding elements with fixed loop spacing and length are producible.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Broschüren unterschiedlicher Formate und Dicken mittels Drahtkammbindung anzugeben, mit denen Drahtbindeelemente direkt im Bindeverfahren entsprechend ihres Bedarfs und des jeweiligen Formats und Dicke der zu bindenden Broschüren hergestellt werden können.It is the object of the invention, a method and an apparatus for producing Specify brochures of different formats and thicknesses using wire comb binding with which wire binding elements directly in the binding process according to their needs and of the respective format and thickness of the brochures to be bound.

  • Zuführen eines Drahtes von mindestens einem eine Drahtrolle umfassenden Drahtvorrat zu einer Drahtbiegeeinrichtung;
  • Biegen des Drahtes zu einem flachen schlaufenförmig ausgebildeten Drahtbindeelement mittels der Drahtbiegeeinrichtung;
  • Schneiden bzw. Ablängen des Drahtbindeelements mittels einer Schneideinrichtung und Zuführen des geschnittenen Drahtbindeelements zu einer Einkämmvorrichtung;

Es ist ein vollautomatisches Binden von Broschüren mittels bei Bedarf hergestellter Drahtbindeelemente mit beliebiger Schlaufenlänge L, Breite A und Drahtdurchmesser D, sowie in einer Schlaufenanzahl möglich, die der maximal zu verarbeitenden Broschürenlänge entspricht. Eine Umrüstung oder Anpassung der Vorrichtung zum Binden ist nicht erforderlich. Es ist möglich, eine Bindung der Broschüre durch Einzelbindeelemente zu realisieren, die gleich oder unterschiedlich voneinander beabstandet sind, wobei eine große Bindegeschwindigkeit durch zeitgleiches Binden der Einzelelemente erreicht wird. Deformationen der auf Bedarf hergestellten Drahtbindeelemente werden durch die automatische Herstellung und des Transports vermieden, so dass die Störanfälligkeit gegenüber herkömmlichen Vorrichtungen drastisch reduziert ist.The process for producing brochures of different formats and thicknesses using wire comb binding offers several advantages. It is a fully automatic binding of brochures by means of wire binding elements made with any Loop length L, width A and wire diameter D, as well as in a number of loops possible that corresponds to the maximum booklet length to be processed.
