Eine Einrichtung der erwähnten Art vermittelt die WO 96/34724 . Die an umlaufenden Zugmitteln befestigten Klammern sind für einen genauen Beschnitt der Druckprodukte nur mit hohem Aufwand in einer stabilen Schneidlage zu halten und es ist ein relativ grosser Raum zur Installation dieser bekannten Einrichtung erforderlich.A device of the kind mentioned conveys the WO 96/34724 , The attached to rotating traction means brackets are to keep accurate cutting of the printed products only with great effort in a stable cutting position and it is a relatively large space for installation of this known device required.

Gattungsgeband für die Oberbegriffe der Ansprüche 1 und 2 ist die US-5,113,731 .Genus tape for the preambles of claims 1 and 2 is the US 5,113,731 ,

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, Druckprodukte an der Kopf- und Fuss- sowie der Oeffnungskante präzis und mit wirtschaftlich einsetzbaren Mitteln beschneiden zu können.The object of the present invention is to be able to cut printed products at the top and bottom as well as the opening edge precisely and with economically usable means.

Die Erfindung wird in den Ansprüchen 1 und 2 definiert.The invention is defined in claims 1 and 2.

Es erweist sich als einfache Ausführungsform, wenn der Förderrotor wenigstens eine an einem gestellfest verbundenen, eine horizontale Drehachse bildenden Lagerbock gelagerte Radscheibe aufweist, an deren Umfang die Klammern um parallel zur Drehachse des Förderrotors angeordnete Schwenkachsen befestigt sind.It proves to be a simple embodiment, when the conveyor rotor has at least one connected to a frame fixed, forming a horizontal axis of rotation bearing bracket mounted wheel at the periphery of the brackets are mounted around parallel to the axis of rotation of the conveyor rotor arranged pivot axes.

Vorteilhaft ist die Radscheibe zur Aenderung des Abstandes zweier einer Klammer zugehörigen Klammerteile aus zwei mindestens annähernd aneinanderliegenden, an dem Lagerbock um die Drehachse gegenseitig verdreheinstell- und feststellbaren Scheibenblättern gebildet, an denen jeweils ein einer Klammer zugehöriger Klammerteil um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar gelagert ist, sodass die Klammern nach der Dicke der Druckprodukte einstellbar sind.Advantageously, the wheel disc for changing the distance between two clamp members associated with a bracket of two at least adjacent to each other, on the bearing block around the rotation axis verdreheinstell- and detectable disc leaves formed, on each of which a clip associated with a clamp member is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis, so that the Staples are adjustable according to the thickness of the printed products.

Zweckmässig weisen die Schwenkachsen der Klammerteile einer Klammer den gleichen Radialabstand von der Drehachse auf, sodass eine einfache Teilefertigung entstehen kann.Conveniently, the pivot axes of the staple parts of a staple on the same radial distance from the axis of rotation, so that a simple parts production can arise.

Vorzugsweise weisen die Klammerteile eine Klemmplatte auf, die eine flächenwirksame Einspannung der Druckprodukte gestatten.Preferably, the staple parts on a clamping plate, which allow a surface-effective clamping of the printed products.

Zur Betätigung der Klammern weisen die Klammerteile einer Klammer jeweils vorteilhaft einen mit einer Steuerbahn verbundenen Steuerhebel auf, sodass sich ein einfacher Steuervorgang bewerkstelligen lässt.For actuating the clamps, the clamp parts of a clamp advantageously each have a control lever connected to a control track, so that a simple control process can be accomplished.

Daraus folgt, dass der in Umlaufrichtung der Klammern nachlaufende erste Klammerteil vorzugsweise durch den in einer ersten endlosen Steuerbahn geführten zweiten Steuerhebel betätigbar ist, weshalb eine exakte Betätigung des ersten Klammerteils gewährleistet ist.It follows that the trailing in the direction of rotation of the brackets first clamp member is preferably actuated by the guided in a first endless control track second control lever, which is why an exact actuation of the first bracket part is ensured.

Ebenso ist der in Umlaufrichtung der Klammern vorlaufende zweite Klammerteil durch den auf einer zweiten Steuerbahn geführten zweiten Steuerhebel betätigbar, um die Druckprodukte zuverlässig einspannen zu können.Likewise, the leading in the direction of rotation of the parenthesis second staple part can be actuated by the guided on a second control track second control lever to clamp the printed products reliable.

Auf diese Weise ist die Klemmplatte des zweiten Klammerteils wenigstens im Schneidbereich eines Schneidwerks durch die Kraft einer Feder gegen die Klemmplatte des ersten Klammerteils pressbar, d.h. dass dadurch vorhandene Dickenabweichungen der Druckprodukte, z.B. beim selektiven Einstecken, kommpensierbar sind.In this way, the clamping plate of the second clamp member at least in the cutting area of a cutting unit by the force of a spring against the clamping plate of the first clamp member can be pressed, that thereby existing thickness deviations of the printed products, for example, during selective insertion, kommpensierbar.

Andererseits wird der zweite Klammerteil durch die Kraft der Feder gegen die zweite Steuerbahn gepresst, sodass er sich zur Uebernahme und Entnahme der Druckprodukte bezüglich seiner Stellung steuern lässt.On the other hand, the second clamp member is pressed by the force of the spring against the second control track, so that he can control the takeover and removal of the printed products with respect to its position.

Bedeutungsvoll ist bei einer Einrichtung mit einem ein stationäres Schneidmesser und wenigstens einem mit dem Schneidmesser auf einer kreisförmigen Schneidbahn zusammenwirkenden, an einer umlaufenden Trommel befestigten Gegenmesser gebildeten Schneidwerk, wenn die Klemmplatten der zu einer Klammer gehörenden Klammerteile resp. die Druckprodukte im Schneidbereich eines Schneidwerks eine zu einer an die Schneidbahn gelegten Tangente etwa senkrechte Lage aufweisen, sodass eine annähernd ebenflächige Schnittkante entstehen kann.Significant is in a device with a stationary cutting blade and at least one cooperating with the cutting blade on a circular cutting path, mounted on a rotating drum counter knife formed cutter when the clamping plates belonging to a bracket staple parts resp. the printed products in the cutting area of a cutting unit have an approximately vertical position to a tangent to the cutting path, so that an approximately planar cutting edge can occur.

Damit die Druckprodukte beim Schneiden im Bereich und hinter der Schneidkante unbeweglich abgestützt sind, ist es von Vorteil, wenn zwischen Schneidbahn und Aussenkante der Klemmplatte des zweiten Klammerteils einer Klammer ein Abstand besteht, sodass das Gegenmesser des Schneidwerks eine Abstützvorrichtung des an der zweiten Klemmplatte anliegenden Druckproduktes bildet.Thus, the printed products are immovably supported during cutting in the area and behind the cutting edge, it is advantageous if there is a gap between the cutting path and outer edge of the clamping plate of the second clamp part of a clip, so that the counter blade of the cutting a support device of the second clamping plate adjacent printed product forms.

Deshalb kann die Aussenkante der Klemmplatte des ersten (nachlaufenden) Klammerteils gegenüber der Aussenkante der Klemmplatte des zweiten (vorlaufenden) Klammerteils nach innen resp. zur Drehachse des Förderrotors hin zurückversetzt'ausgebildet sein.Therefore, the outer edge of the clamping plate of the first (trailing) clamp member relative to the outer edge of the clamping plate of the second (leading) clamp member inwardly resp. to be set back towards the axis of rotation of the conveyor rotor.

Bei einer Einrichtung mit einem die Druckprodukte in beabstandeten Halteklammern dem Förderrotor resp. der Fördervorrichtung zuführenden Transporteur ist es vorteilhaft, wenn dem Transporteur bzw. den hängend und mit dem Bund voraus zugeführten Druckprodukten im Uebergabe-/Uebernahmebereich eine die Druckprodukte an deren Rückseite durch Stützfinger führende Stütztrommel zugeordnet ist.In a device with the printed products in spaced retaining clips the conveyor rotor resp. the conveyor feeding conveyor, it is advantageous if the feed dog or the hanging and fed with the collar printed products in the transfer / takeover area is associated with the print products on the back by supporting fingers leading drum.

Zur Verarbeitung von Druckprodukten mit grösseren Formatabweichungen ist es möglich, die Fördervorrichtung durch zwei an einer gemeinsamen Drehachse achsial verstell- und feststellbare Förderrotoren auszubilden, sodass bezüglich Formatgrösse der Druckprodukte eine uneingeschränkte Produktion entstehen kann.For processing printed products with larger format deviations, it is possible to form the conveying device by means of two on a common axis of rotation axially adjustable and lockable conveyor rotors, so that in terms of format size of the printed products unrestricted production can occur.

Hierzu ist es günstig, wenn die Förderrotoren spiegelbildlich sich gegenüberstehend an der Drehachse angeordnet sind.For this purpose, it is advantageous if the conveyor rotors are arranged in mirror image opposite one another on the axis of rotation.

Fig. 1 veranschaulicht eine Fördereinrichtung 2 einer in Fig. 4 dargestellten Einrichtung 1 für das Beschneiden der Kopf- und Fuss- sowie der Oeffnungskante eines Druckproduktes 3, beispielsweise Zeitung, Buch, Zeitschrift, Broschüre oder Teile davon. Fig. 1 illustrates a conveyor 2 of a in Fig. 4 illustrated device 1 for trimming the head and foot as well as the Oeffnungskante a printed product 3, for example, newspaper, book, magazine, booklet or parts thereof.

Letztere werden durch einen Transporteur 4 oder dgl. der Fördervorrichtung 2 zugeführt. Die im Takt der zugeführten Druckprodukte 3 angetriebene Fördervorrichtung ist als Förderrotor 2 ausgebildet und einem taktgleich arbeitenden Schneidwerk 5 vorgeschaltet, das später beschrieben ist. Der Förderrotor 2 besteht aus einer Vielzahl am Umfang um eine Drehachse verteilt angeordneter Klammern 6, die auf ihrer Umlaufbahn zur Beschickung an einer Uebernahmestation und zur Abgabe eines Druckproduktes 3 an einer Abgabestation in einer Offenstellung vorbeigeführt werden. Auf dem Weg zwischen Uebernahmestation und Abgabestation befinden sich auf der Umlaufbahn der Klammern 6 jeweils ein Schneidwerk 5, 8 für den Kopf- resp. Fussbeschnitt eines Druckproduktes 3 sowie ein Schneidwerk 7 für den Beschnitt des Druckproduktes 3 an der Stirn- resp. Oeffnungskante in dieser Reihenfolge zur Drehrichtung (siehe Fig. 4). Selbstverständlich könnte auch der öffnungsseitige Beschnitt eines Druckproduktes 3 vor dem Kopf- und Fussbeschnitt in entsprechender Anordnung der Schneidwerke 7, 5, 8 erfolgen, wobei in jedem Fall für Kopf- resp. Fussbeschnitt jeweils ein Schneidwerk 5, 8 anzuordnen ist. Der Förderrotor 2 ist an einem mit einem Maschinengestell (nicht ersichtlich) verbundenen Lagerbock 9 gelagert. Die Ausführung nach Fig. 1 weist eine Achse 10 auf, die die Drehachse 12 des Förderrotors 2 bildet und die den Lagerbock 9 durchsetzend mit dem Maschinengestell verbunden ist. Parallel zur Achse 10 verläuft durch den Lagerbock 9 eine Stange 11, welche dafür sorgt, dass der auf die Achse 10 mit einem Gleitsitz aufgeschobene Lagerbock 9 nicht drehen kann. Zur Arretierung des Lagerbocks 9 in Erstreckungsrichtung der Drehachse 12 sind an der Stange 11, auf beiden Seiten des Lagerbocks 9 Stellringe angebracht. Sowohl Achse 10 wie auch Stange 11 sind für die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Ausführung des Förderrotors 2 nicht zwingend erforderlich, da diese für das Beschneiden von Druckprodukten 3 eines bestimmten Formatbereichs vorgesehen ist, beispielsweise für das Berliner Format von 320 x 235 mm. Für grössere Formate der Druckprodukte 3, beispielsweise das Rheinische Format 360 x 265 mm oder das Nordische Format 400 x 295 mm bedarf es einer grösseren Erfassungsbreite der Klammern 6, für die eine noch zu beschreibende, in den Fig. 5 und 6 dargestellte Ausführung vorgesehen ist.The latter are fed by a conveyor 4 or the like. Of the conveyor 2. The driven in time with the supplied printed products 3 conveyor is designed as a conveyor rotor 2 and upstream of a clocking cutter 5, which will be described later. The conveyor rotor 2 consists of a plurality of circumferentially distributed about a rotation axis arranged brackets 6, which in its orbit to Feeding past a takeover station and for delivering a printed product 3 at a dispensing station in an open position. On the way between takeover station and delivery station are on the orbit of the brackets 6 each have a cutting unit 5, 8 for the head resp. Fußbeschnitt a printed product 3 and a cutting unit 7 for the trimming of the printed product 3 at the end resp. Opening edge in this order to the direction of rotation (see Fig. 4 ). Of course, could also be the opening-side trimming of a printed product 3 before the head and Fußbeschnitt done in a corresponding arrangement of the cutting units 7, 5, 8, in each case for head resp. Foot trim each a cutting unit 5, 8 is to be arranged. The conveyor rotor 2 is mounted on a bearing block 9 (not shown) connected to a machine frame. The execution after Fig. 1 has an axis 10 which forms the axis of rotation 12 of the conveyor rotor 2 and which is connected to the bearing block 9 passing through to the machine frame. Parallel to the axis 10 extends through the bearing block 9, a rod 11, which ensures that the pushed onto the axle 10 with a sliding bearing block 9 can not rotate. To lock the bearing block 9 in the direction of extension of the axis of rotation 12 9 collars are mounted on the rod 11, on both sides of the bearing block. Both axis 10 and rod 11 are for the in Fig. 1 shown embodiment of the conveyor rotor 2 is not absolutely necessary, since this is provided for the trimming of printed products 3 of a certain format range, for example, for the Berlin format of 320 x 235 mm. For larger formats of the printed products 3, for example the Rhenish format 360 x 265 mm or the Nordic format 400 x 295 mm, a larger detection width of the clamps 6 is required, for which a still to be described, in the Fig. 5 and 6 illustrated embodiment is provided.

An dem Lagerbock 9 ist auf Wälzlagern 13, 14 eine aus zwei seitlich aneinanderliegenden Scheibenblättern 15, 16 gebildete Radscheibe 17 gelagert, an deren Umfang die Klammern 6 in gleichmässigen Abständen befestigt sind, wobei das eine Scheibenblatt 15 mit einer Radnabe 18 durch Schrauben 19 befestigt und das andere Scheibenblatt 16 an Scheibenblatt 15 durch Schrauben 20 verdrehbar befestigt ist. Die gegenseitige Verstellbarkeit der Scheibenblätter 15, 16 erfolgt durch den Schrauben 20 zugeordnete, beispielsweise nach Bogenabschnitten ausgebildete Schlitze in Scheibenblatt 15. Die Verstellung erfolgt z.B. über einen Exzenter.On the bearing block 9 is on rolling bearings 13, 14 a formed of two laterally juxtaposed disc sheets 15, 16 disc 17 mounted on the circumference of the brackets 6 are fixed at regular intervals, wherein the one disc sheet 15 with a hub 18 by screws 19 and secured the other disc leaf 16 is secured to disc plate 15 by screws 20 rotatable. The mutual adjustability of the disc leaves 15, 16 takes place by means of the screws 20 associated, for example, according to arcuate slots formed in disc sheet 15. The adjustment is e.g. via an eccentric.

Die Klammern 6 bestehen aus zwei, eine Klammer 6 bildenden Klammerteilen 21, 22, die jeweils einem Scheibenblatt 15, 16 zugeordnet und an deren Umfang um eine parallel zur Drehachse 12 des Förderrotors 2 angeordnete Schwenkachse 23 gelagert sind. Hierzu ist jeweils ein Lagerzapfen 23, 24 für Scheibenblatt 15 bzw. 16 vorgesehen, der lösbar oder fest mit einem Scheibenblatt 15, 16 verbunden ist. Auf diesen Schwenkachsen bildenden Lagerzapfen 23, 24 sitzt jeweils ein einem Klammerteil 21, 22 einer Klammer 6 zugeordneter erster Steuerhebel 25 resp. zweiter Steuerhebel 26, der in eine Schwenkbewegung versetzbar ist.The clamps 6 consist of two staple parts 21, 22 forming a clamp 6, which are each assigned to a disc leaf 15, 16 and are mounted on their circumference about a pivot axis 23 arranged parallel to the axis of rotation 12 of the conveying rotor 2. For this purpose, a respective bearing pin 23, 24 is provided for disc leaf 15 or 16, which is detachably or fixedly connected to a disc blade 15, 16. On this pivot axes forming bearing pin 23, 24 is in each case a one clamp member 21, 22 of a bracket 6 associated first control lever 25 respectively. second control lever 26 which is displaceable in a pivoting movement.

Der Antrieb des Förderrotors 3 beispielsweise erfolgt durch ein nicht dargestelltes angetriebenes Ritzel auf einen an dem Förderrotor 3, konzentrisch zur Drehachse 12 befestigten Zahnkranz 63 mit einer Innenverzahnung.The drive of the conveyor rotor 3, for example, by an unillustrated driven pinion on an attached to the conveyor rotor 3, concentric with the axis of rotation 12 sprocket 63 with an internal toothing.

Der zu Klammerteil 21 gehörende erste Steuerhebel 25 ist an einer ersten Klemmplatte 27 befestigt und mit dem freien Hebelende, an dem eine frei drehbare Rolle 59 befestigt ist, in einer ersten Steuerbahn 28 geführt.Belonging to the bracket 21 first control lever 25 is attached to a first clamping plate 27 and the free Lever end, on which a freely rotatable roller 59 is fixed, guided in a first control path 28.

Klammerteil 22 weist eine zweite Klemmplatte 29 auf, an der der zweite Steuerhebel 26 befestigt ist, dessen freies Ende an einer zweiten Steuerbahn 30 geführt ist.Clamp part 22 has a second clamping plate 29, on which the second control lever 26 is fixed, whose free end is guided on a second control track 30.

In Drehrichtung läuft Klammerteil 22 einer Klammer 6 dem Klammerteil 21 voraus und der nachlaufende Klammerteil 21 weist eine Klemmplatte 27 auf, deren äusseres Ende sich bei geschlossener Klammer 6 innerhalb der Aussenkante der Klemmplatte 29 von Klammerteil 22 befindet.In the direction of rotation clamp member 22 of a bracket 6 precedes the clamp member 21 and the trailing clamp member 21 has a clamping plate 27 whose outer end is in the closed bracket 6 within the outer edge of the clamping plate 29 of clamp member 22.

Fig. 4 zeigt den Förderrotor 2 im Zusammenwirken mit einer Zuführeinrichtung 31 für die Druckprodukte 3 oberhalb des Förderrotors 2, einem Schneidwerk 5, 8 für Kopf- und Fussbeschnitt der Druckprodukte 3, einem in Förderrichtung anschliessenden Schneidwerk 7 für den Beschnitt der Oeffnungskante bzw. Frontkante eines Druckproduktes 3 und einer nachfolgenden Entnahmevorrichtung 32. Der Grund der zurückversetzten Aussenkante der Klemmplatte 27 des nachlaufenden Klammerteils 21 einer Klammer 6 besteht in der Ausbildung des Schneidwerks 7 für den Beschnitt der Oeffnungskante eines Druckproduktes 3. Für Schneidwerk 7 existiert die europäische Patentanmeldung EP-A-1 520 664 als Einrichtung zum Beschneiden eines Druckproduktes, bei der das mit einer zu beschneidenden Seitenkante voraus dem aus einem stationären Schneidmesser 33 und mehreren mit diesem auf einer kreisförmigen Schneidbahn 34 zusammenwirkenden, an einer umlaufenden Trommel 35 befestigten Gegenmessern 36 gebildeten Schneidwerk 7 zugeführt wird. Während dem Passieren des stationären Schneidmessers 33 befindet sich das Druckprodukt 3 mit dem zu beschneidenden Ende zwischen vorlaufender Klemmplatte 29 und einem Gegenmesser 36, welches das Druckprodukt 3 zum Schneiden stützt und mit dem stationären Schneidmesser 33 zusammenwirkt. Bei den Schneidwerken 5, 8 handelt es sich um die gleiche Konstruktion, die auch bei Schneidwerk 7 vorgesehen ist. Im übrigen weist die Klemmplatte 29 des vorlaufenden Klammerteils 22 am äusseren Ende eine etwa rechteckförmige Aussparung 37 auf, die zur Erfassung der beschnittenen Druckprodukte 3 durch die gesteuerten Greifer 38 der Entnahmevorrichtung 32 vorgesehen ist und dazu dient, die Druckprodukte 3 an der Uebernahmestation den Klammern 6 schonend zu übergeben resp. zuzuführen. Bei der Entnahmevorrichtung 32 handelt es sich um ein in Pfeilrichtung E angetriebenes Rad, an dessen Umfang in eine Offen- oder Schliessstellung steuerbare Greifer 38 befestigt sind, welche die in die offenen Greifer 38 eintauchenden Druckprodukte 3 durch eine Schliessbewegung der Greifer 38 erfasst und zur weiteren Verarbeitung transportiert. Fig. 4 shows the conveyor rotor 2 in cooperation with a feeder 31 for the printed products 3 above the conveyor rotor 2, a cutting unit 5, 8 for head and Fußbeschnitt the printed products 3, followed in the conveying direction cutting unit 7 for trimming Oeffnungskante or front edge of a printed product. 3 and a subsequent removal device 32. The reason of the recessed outer edge of the clamping plate 27 of the trailing clamp part 21 of a bracket 6 is the formation of the cutting unit 7 for trimming the Oeffnungskante a printed product 3. For cutting unit 7 exists European patent application EP-A-1 520 664 as a device for pruning a printed product, in which the cutting unit 7 formed with a side edge to be trimmed is supplied to the cutting unit 7 which cooperates with a stationary cutting blade 33 and several cooperating with it on a circular cutting path 34. During passing of the stationary cutting blade 33 is the printed product 3 with the end to be trimmed between the leading clamp plate 29 and a counter knife 36 which supports the printed product 3 for cutting and with the stationary cutting blade 33 cooperates. When the cutting units 5, 8 is the same construction, which is also provided with cutting unit 7. Moreover, the clamping plate 29 of the leading clamp member 22 at the outer end an approximately rectangular recess 37 which is provided for detecting the cropped printed products 3 by the controlled gripper 38 of the removal device 32 and serves the printed products 3 at the takeover station the brackets. 6 gently handed over resp. supply. The removal device 32 is a wheel driven in the direction of the arrow E, on whose circumference controllable grippers 38 are fastened in an open or closed position, which grips the printing products 3 immersed in the open grippers 38 by a closing movement of the grippers 38 and further Processing transported.

Anhand eines Zifferblattes einer Uhr sind gemäss Fig. 4 die Uebernahmestation etwa bei 1 Uhr, die Schneidwerke 5, 8 für Kopf- und Fusskantenbeschnitt bei 9 Uhr, das Schneidwerk 7 für die Oeffnungskante bei ca. 5 Uhr und die Abgabestation resp. die Entnahmevorrichtung etwa bei 4 Uhr angeordnet. Diese Anordnungsweise ist nicht zwingend einzuhalten.Based on a clock face are according to Fig. 4 the takeover station approximately at 1 o'clock, the cutting units 5, 8 for head and Fußkantenbeschnitt at 9 o'clock, the cutting unit 7 for the opening edge at about 5 o'clock and the discharge station respectively. arranged the removal device at about 4 o'clock. This arrangement is not mandatory.

Die einzelnen Verarbeitungsschritte finden über einen bestimmten Drehwinkelbereich des Förderrotors 2 an den erwähnten Positionen statt. Den Drehwinkelbereichen, auf denen die Klammern 3 resp. die Klammerteile 21, 22 gesteuert werden, sind die erste und die zweite Steuerbahn 28, 30 resp. Steuerbahnabschnitte zugeordnet. In die erste endlose Steuerbahn 28 greift der an Scheibenblatt 16 angelenkte Steuerhebel 26 ein und versetzt auf der Umlaufbahn den nachlaufenden Klammerteil 21 in eine mit dem anderen Klammerteil 22 korrespondierende Stellung, in welche Klammerteil 22 durch die zweite Steuerbahn 30 bewegt wird, derart, dass die Klammern 6 auf ihrer Umlaufbahn in Drehrichtung vor der Uebernahmestellung geöffnet, danach annähernd geschlossen und vor dem Beschneiden der Kopf- und Fusskante sowie der Oeffnungskante eines Druckproduktes 3 letztere zwischen den Klammerteilen 21, 22 resp. den Klemmplatten 27, 29 weitestgehend vollflächig eingespannt sind; d.h. die Druckprodukte 3 bleiben auf dem Abschnitt zwischen Kopf-/Fussbeschnitt und Frontbeschnitt an der Oeffnungskante eingespannt. Auf dem weiteren Weg zur Abgabestation öffnen sich die Klammern 6, so dass die Entnahmevorrichtung 32 das an drei Kanten beschnittene Druckprodukt 3 aus den Klammern 6 herausheben kann. Auf dem Abschnitt zwischen Uebernahmestation und Schneidwerk 5, 8 für Kopf- und Fussbeschnitt sind die Klammern 6 -wie Fig. 4 zeigt- vorerst nicht vollständig geschlossen, sodass die Druckprodukte 3 bezüglich ihrer Position genau ausgerichtet werden können.The individual processing steps take place over a certain rotation angle range of the conveyor rotor 2 at the mentioned positions. The rotation angle ranges on which the brackets 3 resp. the clamp members 21, 22 are controlled, the first and the second control path 28, 30 respectively. Assigned to control track sections. In the first endless control path 28 engages the hinged to disc blade 16 control lever 26 and offset on the orbit the trailing clamp member 21 in a position corresponding to the other clamp member 22, in which clamp member 22 through the second control path 30th is moved, such that the brackets 6 open on its orbit in the direction of rotation before the Uebernahmestellung, then approximately closed and prior to trimming the head and foot edge and the opening edge of a printed product 3 latter between the clamp members 21, 22 resp. the clamping plates 27, 29 are largely fully clamped; ie the printed products 3 remain clamped on the section between the head / foot trimming and the front trimming at the opening edge. On the way to the dispensing station, the clamps 6 open, so that the removal device 32 can lift out of the clamps 6 the printed product 3 trimmed at three edges. On the section between takeover station and cutterbar 5, 8 for head and Fußbeschnitt the brackets are 6-like Fig. 4 shows- not fully closed for now, so that the printed products 3 can be accurately aligned with respect to their position.

Es wäre nicht unmöglich, Kopf- und Fussbeschnitt auf der Umlaufbahn nacheinander durchzuführen. Für Kopf- und Fussbeschnitt an den Druckprodukten 3 sind die beidseits des Förderrotors 2 angeordneten Schneidwerke 5 und 8 entlang der Umlaufbahn der Klammern 6 sich gegenüberliegend befestigt.It would not be impossible to perform head and foot trimming on the orbit one after the other. For head and Fußbeschnitt to the printed products 3 arranged on both sides of the conveyor rotor 2 reapers 5 and 8 along the orbit of the brackets 6 are mounted opposite each other.

Die auf der Umlaufbahn nachlaufenden Klammerteile 21 sind durch die Steuerhebel 26 in der kulissenartig ausgebildeten ersten Steuerbahn 28 zwangsgeführt, wogegen die Klammerteile 22 durch mittels Zugfedern 39 an die zweite Steuerbahn 30 angepressten Hebel 25 geführt sind. Die Steuerbahn 30 ist zur Oeffnungsbewegung eines Klammerteils 22 vorgesehen und erstreckt sich um die Drehachse 12 des Förderrotors 2 in einem Winkelbereich, wo die Druckprodukte 3 in den Klammern 6 lose aufgehoben sind. Vorliegend beträgt dieser Winkelbereich etwa 180°. Sobald die Führungsrolle 40 des Hebels 25 die zweite Steuerbahn 30 verlässt, bevor der Schneidbereich der Schneidwerke 5, 8 und 7 beginnt, presst die Zugfeder 39 die vorlaufende Klemmplatte 29 unter Zwischenlage eines Druckproduktes 3 gegen die in der Steuerbahn 28 geführte Klemmplatte 27, sodass das Druckprodukt 3 in der Klammer 6 eingespannt ist.The trailing on the orbit clamp members 21 are forcibly guided by the control lever 26 in the backdrop-like first control path 28, whereas the clamp members 22 are guided by means of tension springs 39 to the second control track 30 lever 25 pressed. The control track 30 is provided for the opening movement of a clamp member 22 and extends around the axis of rotation 12 of the conveyor rotor 2 in an angular range where the printed products 3 in the clamps 6 are loosely released. In the present case, this angular range is about 180 °. Once the guide roller 40 of the lever 25, the second Control path 30 leaves before the cutting area of the cutting units 5, 8 and 7 begins, the tension spring 39 presses the leading clamping plate 29 with the interposition of a printed product 3 against the run in the control track 28 clamping plate 27 so that the printed product 3 is clamped in the bracket 6.

Bei Erreichen des Schneidbereichs eines Schneidwerks 5, 8 oder 7 wird die Klammer 6 über die Steuerbahn 28 und den Steuerhebel 26 des Klammerteils 21 geführt, derart, dass bei einem ein stationäres Schneidmesser 33 und mehreren einem mit dem Schneidmesser 33 auf einer kreisförmigen Schneidbahn zusammenwirkenden, an einer umlaufenden Trommel 35 befestigten Gegenmessern 36 gebildeten, benachbarten Schneidwerk 5, 8 bzw. 7 die Klemmplatten 27, 29 der zu einer Klammer 6 gehörenden Klammerteile 21, 22 über den Schneidbereich eines Schneidwerks 5, 8 bzw. 7 eine zu einer an die Schneidbahn gelegten Tangente etwa senkrechte Lage aufweisen.Upon reaching the cutting area of a cutting unit 5, 8 or 7, the clamp 6 is guided over the control track 28 and the control lever 26 of the clamp member 21, such that when a stationary cutting blade 33 and several cooperating with the cutting blade 33 on a circular cutting path, formed on a rotating drum 35 counter knives 36 formed adjacent cutting unit 5, 8 and 7, the clamping plates 27, 29 belonging to a bracket 6 staple parts 21, 22 over the cutting area of a cutting unit 5, 8 and 7 a to a cutting path laid tangent have approximately vertical position.

Abweichungen bezüglich Dicke der Druckprodukte 3 werden durch die auf den Hebel 25 einwirkende Zugfeder 39 kompensiert.Deviations in the thickness of the printed products 3 are compensated by the force acting on the lever 25 tension spring 39.

Aendert die Dicke der Druckprodukte 3 generell durch einen neuen Verarbeitungsauftrag, dann sind die Klammern 6 an die Dickenänderung anzupassen, indem die die Radscheibe 17 bildenden Scheibenblätter 15, 16 durch gegenseitiges Verdrehen resp. Verdrehen von Scheibenblatt 16 gegenüber Scheibenblatt 15 verstellt resp. eingestellt werden, so dass die Klemmplatten 27, 29 bei eingespanntem Druckprodukt 3 mit der ganzen Fläche gegeneinander gepresst werden. Die Aenderung der Klammerstellung erfolgt durch Lösen der in Scheibenblatt 16 verankerten Schrauben 20, die einen kreisbogenförmigen Schlitz in Scheibenblatt 15 durchsetzt. Nach Verdrehen des Scheibenblattes 15 um die Dickenänderung werden die Schrauben wieder festgedreht. Selbstverständlich könnte das Verstellen der Klammern 6 durch entsprechende Massnahmen auch motorisch durchgeführt werden. Wie Fig. 4 zeigt, werden die Druckprodukte 3 in Klammern 41 eines Transporteurs 42 in regelmässigen Abständen dem Förderrotor 2 zugeführt, wobei die Druckprodukte 3 an der offenen Seite resp. an der Blume in den Halteklammern 41 eingespannt sind und nach unten hängen. Zur Uebernahme durch den Förderrotor 2 werden die Druckprodukte 3 zwischen zwei Klemmplatten 27, 29 einer geöffneten Klammer 6 eingefädelt und in den Halteklammern 41 des Transporteurs 42 vorzugsweise solange gehalten, bis sie an einer Positioniervorrichtung 55 aufstehen. Die Klammern 6 bleiben danach soweit geöffnet, dass die Druckprodukte 3 bezüglich ihres Kopf- und Fussbeschnittes genau platziert werden können.If the thickness of the printed products 3 changes in general by a new processing order, then the clamps 6 are to be adapted to the change in thickness by the wheel discs 17 forming disc sheets 15, 16 by mutual rotation, respectively. Twisting of disc leaf 16 relative to disc blade 15 adjusted respectively. can be adjusted so that the clamping plates 27, 29 are pressed with clamped printed product 3 with the whole surface against each other. The change of the staple position is carried out by loosening the anchored in disc blade 16 screws 20, which passes through a circular arc-shaped slot in the disc blade 15. After rotating the disc blade 15th to the thickness change, the screws are tightened again. Of course, the adjustment of the brackets 6 by appropriate measures could also be performed by motor. As Fig. 4 shows, the printed products 3 in staples 41 of a conveyor 42 are supplied to the conveyor rotor 2 at regular intervals, wherein the printed products 3 at the open side, respectively. are clamped to the flower in the retaining clips 41 and hang down. To take over by the conveyor rotor 2, the printed products 3 are threaded between two clamping plates 27, 29 of an open bracket 6 and held in the retaining clips 41 of the conveyor 42 preferably until they get up on a positioning device 55. The brackets 6 then remain open so far that the printed products 3 can be accurately placed with respect to their head and Fußbeschnittes.

Da die Druckprodukte 3 im Förderrotor 2 auf der den Schneidkreis berührenden Umlaufbahn und die Schneidwerke 5, 8, 7 auf dem Schneidkreis die gleiche Geschwindigkeit aufweisen, sind auch die Klammerabstände und die Abstände der rotierenden Gegenmesser 36 gleich gross. Das Gleiche gilt für die Greifer 38 der Entnahmevorrichtung 32.Since the printed products 3 in the conveying rotor 2 on the orbit contacting the cutting circuit and the cutting units 5, 8, 7 on the cutting circuit have the same speed, the clamping distances and the distances of the rotating counter-blade 36 are the same size. The same applies to the gripper 38 of the removal device 32nd

In diesem Zusammenhang ist festzuhalten, dass bei dem in Fig. 4 veranschaulichten Ausführungsbeispiel die als Förderrotor ausgebildete Fördervorrichtung 2 einem Transporteur 42 taktsynchron nachgeschaltet ist und dem Förderrotor 2 eine förderwirksam verbundene Entnahmevorrichtung 32 folgt.In this context, it should be noted that in Fig. 4 illustrated embodiment, the conveying device designed as a conveyor rotor 2 is followed by a feed dog 42 isochronous and the conveyor rotor 2 a delivery-effective connected removal device 32 follows.

Zur Unterstützung der Klammerbeschickung kann wie in Fig. 4 veranschaulicht, eine auf die an den Halteklammern 41 des Transporteurs 42 hängenden Druckprodukte 3 eine Leithilfe in Form einer taktbezogenen rotierenden Stütztrommel 43 verwendet werden. Diese Stütztrommel 43 -siehe Fig. 7- besitzt am Umfang von einem Rotor 44 abstehende Finger 45, die ein abgewinkeltes freies Ende aufweisen und das in den Uebernahmebereich eintretende Druckprodukt 3 an der Rückseite stützend begleiten. Zu diesem Zweck sind die Finger 45 bezüglich ihrer Lage gesteuert, d.h., sie durchsetzen die Umlaufbahn der Klemmplatten 27 und treten aus dieser aus, sobald sich das Druckprodukt 3 von der Klammer 41 des Transporteurs 42 gelöst hat und in der Klammer 6 des Förderrotors 2 befindet. Für eine günstige Abstützung der Druckprodukte 3 an der Stütztrommel 43 sind jeweils zwei Stützfinger 45 vorgesehen. Zudem weisen die Stützfinger 45 längsverlaufende Schlitze 46 auf, um Stützleisten 47 an der Klemmplatte 27 des Klammerteils 21 passieren zu können. Die erwähnten Stützleisten 47 verbreitern die Auflagefläche der Druckprodukte 3 an der Klemmplatte 27 der Klammerteile 21 einer Klammer 6.To support the staple feeding can be like in Fig. 4 illustrates a printed on the retaining clips 41 of the conveyor 42 hanging printed products 3 a Leithilfe in the form of a clock-related rotating support drum 43 is used become. This support drum 43 -see Fig. 7 - Has on the circumference of a rotor 44 protruding fingers 45, which have an angled free end and accompany the entering into the takeover area printed product 3 supporting the back. For this purpose, the fingers 45 are controlled with respect to their position, ie, they pass through the orbit of the clamping plates 27 and exit therefrom as soon as the printed product 3 has detached from the clamp 41 of the conveyor 42 and is in the bracket 6 of the conveyor rotor 2 , For a favorable support of the printed products 3 on the support drum 43 two support fingers 45 are provided in each case. In addition, the support fingers 45 have longitudinal slots 46 in order to pass support strips 47 on the clamping plate 27 of the clamp member 21 can.
