Bei einer bekannten Zusammentragmaschine der eingangs genannten Art werden die gedruckten Bogen auf einem absenkbaren Tisch gestapelt. Ist auf diesem Tisch ein Buchblock zusammengetragen, so wird dieser vom Tisch wegtransportiert und beispielsweise einer Klebebindemaschine zugeführt. Während des Entladens des absenkbaren Tisches wird mit der während dieser Zeit anfallenden gedruckten Papierbahn ein Papierbahn-Puffer gebildet. Ist der absenkbare Tisch wieder in der Ausgangsposition, so wird der gebildete Papierbahn-Puffer verarbeitet. Hierbei muss die Papierbahn wieder gespannt, ausgerichtet und eingetaktet werden. Durch das Puffern und Neuspannen der Papierbahn entsteht ein Unterbruch des Verarbeitungsprozesses, der die Produktionsleistung mindert.In a known gathering machine of the type mentioned Art will print the printed sheets on a lowerable Stacked table. If a book block is put together on this table, so it is transported away from the table and, for example fed to an adhesive binding machine. During the Unloading of the lowerable table is carried out during this Time-consuming printed paper web a paper web buffer educated. When the lowerable table is back in the starting position, the paper web buffer thus formed is processed. Here, the paper web must be tensioned, aligned and be clocked. By buffering and re-tensioning the paper web there is an interruption in the processing process, that reduces production output.

Es werden so viele Bogen 1 in das Stapelmagazin 7 abgelegt, bis ein loser Buchblock 2 gebildet ist. Das Stapelmagazin 7 kann zum Ausrichten des losen Buchblockes 2 hin und her bewegt werden. Der Boden des Stapelmagazins 7 wird durch mehrere Stäbe 49 gebildet, die nach der vollständigen Bildung des Buchblockes 2 zurückgezogen werden, so dass der Buchblock 2 nach unten auf eine zweite Transportvorrichtung 5 fällt. Diese zweite Transportvorrichtung 5 ist als Tisch ausgebildet und weist in vorbestimmten Abständen Mitnehmer 46 auf, welche die abgelegten Buchblöcke 2 in Richtung des Pfeils 41 zu einem quer betätigbaren Schieber 44 transportieren. Anstelle von Mitnehmern könnte auch ein Transportband benutzt werden. Vor diesem Schieber 44 sind Aufstossfinger 45 angeordnet. Mit diesen Fingern 45 können die Buchblöcke angehalten und mit dem Schieber 44 quer zur Transportvorrichtung verschoben und an einer Fixkante ausgerichtet werden. Die seitliche Verschiebung der Buchblöcke 2 könnte auch mit einem diagonal förderwirksamen Mittel erfolgen, bspw. angetriebenes Band, das einstellbar ist. Nach dem Ausrichten werden die Aufstossfinger 45 abgesenkt und der Buchblock 2 weiter in Richtung des Pfeils 41 zu einer Weiterverarbeitungsmaschine 6 transportiert. Diese Weiterverarbeitungsmaschine 6 ist insbesondere eine Klebebindemaschine, in welcher die Buchblöcke 2 in an sich bekannter Weise auf einem hier nicht gezeigten Drehtisch klebegebunden und mit einem Umschlag versehen werden. Es sind aber auch andere Weiterverarbeitungsmaschinen, beispielsweise Maschinen zum Fadenheften möglich.1 and 2 show a collating machine 50, the one first transport device 4, which at an input 19 in the direction of arrow 39 sheet 1 are supplied.

In the position shown in Fig. 2 the switch 12, the sheet 1 are passed down and deposited in the direction of arrow 42 in the stack magazine 7. It as many sheets 1 are placed in the stack magazine 7 until a loose book block 2 is formed. The stack magazine 7 can to align the loose book block 2 are moved back and forth. The bottom of the stack magazine 7 is by several bars 49 formed after the complete formation of the book block 2 are retracted so that the book block 2 is facing down falls on a second transport device 5. This second Transport device 5 is designed as a table and has in predetermined distances carrier 46, which the deposited Book blocks 2 in the direction of arrow 41 to a transversely operable Transport slider 44. Instead of drivers a conveyor belt could also be used. Before this Sliders 44 are arranged pushing fingers 45. With these fingers 45 can stop the book blocks and use the slider 44 moved transversely to the transport device and on a fixed edge be aligned. The lateral shift of the Book blocks 2 could also have a diagonally promoting effect Means are made, for example, driven belt that is adjustable is. After alignment, the pushing fingers 45 are lowered and book block 2 continues in the direction of arrow 41 a processing machine 6 transported. This finishing machine 6 is in particular an adhesive binding machine, in which the book blocks 2 in a manner known per se on a turntable (not shown here) and bound with be provided with an envelope.

Ist ein Buchblock 2 gebildet, so wird dieser ebenfalls auf die zweite Transportvorrichtung 5 abgeworfen und durch die Mitnehmer 46 zum Schieber 44 transportiert, wo dieser Buchblock 2 ausgerichtet wird. Anschliessend wird auch dieser Buchblock 2 der Weiterverarbeitungsmaschine 6 zugeführt. Ist im Stapelmagazin 8 ein Buchblock 2 gebildet, so werden die nachfolgenden Bogen 1 wieder dem Stapelmagazin 7 zugeführt. Die Zusammentragmaschine 50 besitzt somit zwei Stapelstellen A und B, die alternierend zum Bilden eines Buchblockes 2 angesteuert werden. Dadurch muss der Fluss der Bogen 1 nicht unterbrochen werden. Es kann somit kontinuierlich zusammengetragen werden. Es ist somit eine kontinuierliche sequenzielle Produktion möglich. Wesentlich ist auch, dass taktgebunden zusammengetragen werden kann und hierbei der Takt nicht verloren geht. Die zweite Transportvorrichtung 5 ist so gesteuert, dass die Druckbogen 2 nicht kollidieren.If a book block 2 is formed in the stack magazine 7, then the Switch 12 changed over and the following sheets 1 become horizontal transported to switch 13. Is this in the in Fig. 2 position shown, these sheets 1 down and stored in the stack magazine 8 in the direction of arrow 43.
