Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing printed products according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a method of this kind is in the WO-A-98/33656 disclosed.
  • a folded main product at least one folded precursor is inserted in the closed state or closed after insertion.
  • at least one additional printed product to be placed next to the closed intermediate product is inserted, whereupon an opening of the intermediate product and finally an insertion of at least one further printed product into the intermediate product take place.
  • printed products can be produced with folded two precursors arranged side by side in a folded main product, in each of which at least one plug-in product is inserted.
  • a device has pocket-shaped compartments with two side walls each, wherein one side wall is assigned a prefolding holding element for opening the main product and the precursors and the other side wall is a product holding element.
  • one side wall is assigned a prefolding holding element for opening the main product and the precursors and the other side wall is a product holding element.
  • the prefolding holding element can be pivoted from one side wall to the other side wall and back again.
  • An institution for collecting, collating and Inserting printed products is in the EP-A-0 346 578 disclosed.
  • Successively arranged holding arrangements have saddle-shaped pads.
  • the walls of these pads limit pocket-shaped receiving parts.
  • the printed products introduced from a first feed conveyor into the receiving parts are opened by an opening device, so that printed product fed by means of further feed conveyors can be inserted into the first opened printed product. If the opening device is turned off, the printed products fed by the feed conveyors to a receiving part come to lie next to one another.
  • the printed products can be supplied from the feeders with their open side ahead, the printed products are opened by means of an opening device and placed astride the saddle-shaped pads.
  • One of the walls is in each case provided with a gripper and can be pivoted toward the other wall of an adjacent support in order to open the printed product introduced into the relevant receiving part.
  • a bag of a Einsteckmaschine a main product is fed, which opened in the bag and which then, for the production of a printed product, by inserting partial products and / or supplements are supplied.
  • the pockets in which the printed products remain are fed with another main product which is opened for insertion of partial products and / or supplements.
  • the publication EP 301 244 A discloses a device for introducing at least one insert into printed products, in which two printing products supplied congruently to one another, as seen in a conveying direction, are displaced relative to one another before being picked up by a conveying device and conveyed on to a feeding section.
  • the first printed product is opened and then introduced in the feed section into this a first plug-in product.
  • the second printed product is opened and plugged into this in the next Zuurerabites a second plug-in product.
  • a method and a device for introducing at least one insert into printed products is known, in which two congruently arranged printed products are fed to an input section. These are fed together to a first feed section, in which case the first printed product is opened and in the first feed section a first plug-in product is introduced into the first feed section. Subsequently, the two printed products are fed together to a second feed section while opening the second printed product. In the second feed section, a second plug-in product is fed to this opened second printed product. If the printed products congruently supplied to the feed section have a prefold, they are conveyed together to the first feed section while the first printed product is being opened.
  • a first plug-in product is inserted into the opened first printed product, then the two printed products are shifted relative to each other and fed to the second feed section while opening the second printed product.
  • a second plug-in product is inserted into the second printed product, wherein the two printed products are again aligned congruent.
  • the EP 0 237 701 A discloses a method and apparatus for introducing at least one insert into preferably folded printed products.
  • the printed products to be supplemented are fed in pairs through a feed conveyor to a processing drum.
  • the latter has approximately radially extending, on the drum periphery open compartments in which feed means for advancing the located in the compartments printed products are arranged.
  • Each compartment is divided into two feed channels by means of a removable partition. These partitions end at a distance in front of the feed means.
  • Each of the two printed products fed together is introduced into a feed channel.
  • the two printed products are held by a gripper of the feed conveyor in the region of its open side edge, which extends transversely to the conveying direction of the feed conveyor.
  • the two printed products held by the same gripper are offset from each other in a direction transverse to the mentioned side edge.
  • the printed products in the feed channels of each compartment are then advanced together and opened about the same time and provided with an insert.
  • the first and the second printed product are arranged displaced relative to one another in the direction of the folds in pocket-shaped compartments.
  • Each of the two printed products thereby has a laterally projecting over the other Druckereieck edge portion in which means for manipulating the printed products, such as grippers for opening the printed products, attack, without the risk that the other printed product is influenced undesirably.
  • the second printed product is already introduced openly into the compartment next to the first printed product, it is of course no longer necessary to open this second printed product in the compartment, but also in this case the two printed products are relative at least when the second insert product is inserted into the second printed product shifted to each other. This shift provides opportunities for subsequent manipulation, such as closing the second printed product or opening the first printed product.
  • the bag-shaped compartments have no conveying means for conveying the printed products together in the longitudinal direction of the compartments into an adjacent compartment.
  • a printed product having a fold is also understood to mean a multi-leaf printed product which, instead of being folded, is bound to an edge.
  • first and second printed products are moved relative to one another simultaneously into a compartment, a single feed conveyor or a single feed device, such as a feeder, is sufficient for feeding the printed products. A shift of the two printed products in the compartment is not necessary in this case.
  • first and second printed products are congruently introduced into a compartment at the same time, once again a single feed conveyor for feeding the printed products is sufficient.
  • the two printed products arranged in the compartment are to be displaced relative to one another.
  • This displacement can be done in a known manner, for example by means of displacement as shown in the EP-A-0 301 244 and in the corresponding US-A-4,867,429 are disclosed.
  • the two printed products can also be kept open at the same time in an extremely simple manner, which enables the simultaneous insertion of one insert product into the two printed products.
  • the simultaneous insertion of Einsteck arean in the two printed products leads to a very high productivity and allows devices to form correspondingly space-saving.
  • the method according to the invention also makes it possible first to insert the first insert product into the first printed product and then the second insert product into the second printed product.
  • the first printed product is preferably closed after inserting the first plug-in product, and with this closing or thereafter the second printed product is opened for inserting the second plug-in product.
  • the loading of a compartment for the time being with a first printed product and the subsequent loading of this compartment with a second printed product can take place by means of two feed conveyors or feed devices or by means of a single feed conveyor.
  • the two feeders or feeders are to be arranged laterally displaced relative to each other in a preferred manner to introduce the respective printed products laterally displaced into the compartments.
  • the feed conveyor preferably runs with respect to a conveying path of the compartments in such a way that the compartments are loaded laterally with the printed products, the printed products being able to be arranged identically in the effective area of the feed conveyor, that is not displaced laterally relative to one another need to be arranged.
  • the opening of the second printed product in the lateral edge section started, with which it over the other printed product protrudes.
  • the opening means can uniquely engage the second printed product without the risk of conflict with the first printed product.
  • the opening can be done in a well-known manner, for example by means of opening grippers, suction heads an air jet or the like.
  • a particularly suitable apparatus for producing printed products according to the inventive method is specified in claim 10. If grippers are arranged on the lateral end regions of the compartments, they can reliably grasp one of the two printed products arranged laterally offset in the compartment. Any risk that the wrong printed matter is taken is excluded.
  • the grippers may be fixedly arranged with respect to the side walls of the compartments; In this case, the compartments are pivoted to open the printed products, either by a trajectory with gradients and gradients, or by pivoting the compartments about a support axis.
  • the grippers can be arranged independently back and forth between the two side walls of the compartments back and forth. In this case, no pivoting of the compartments is necessary to open the printed products.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a method for producing printed products according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Ein Verfahren dieser Art ist in der WO-A-98/33656 offenbart. In ein gefaltetes Hauptprodukt wird zumindest ein gefaltetes Vorprodukt im geschlossenen Zustand eingesteckt oder nach dem Einstecken geschlossen. Nachfolgend wird zumindest ein neben dem geschlossenen Vorprodukt zu liegen kommendes weiteres Druckprodukt eingesteckt, worauf hin ein Öffnen des Vorproduktes und schliesslich ein Einstecken mindestens eines weiteren Druckproduktes in das Vorprodukt erfolgt. Nach diesem Verfahren lassen sich Druckereierzeugnisse herstellen mit in einem gefalteten Hauptprodukt neben einander angeordneten gefalteten zwei Vorprodukten, in die jeweils mindestens ein Einsteckprodukt eingesteckt ist. Zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens weist eine Vorrichtung taschenförmige Abteile mit je zwei Seitenwänden auf, wobei der einen Seitenwand ein Vorfalz-Halteelement zum Öffnen des Hauptprodukts und der Vorprodukte und der anderen Seitenwand ein Produkt-Halteelement zugeordnet sind. Zum Öffnen der Produkte werden entweder die Abteile verschwenkbar oder das Vorfalz-Halteelement von der einen Seitenwand zur anderen Seitenwand und wieder zurück verschwenkbar angeordnet.A method of this kind is in the WO-A-98/33656 disclosed. In a folded main product at least one folded precursor is inserted in the closed state or closed after insertion. Subsequently, at least one additional printed product to be placed next to the closed intermediate product is inserted, whereupon an opening of the intermediate product and finally an insertion of at least one further printed product into the intermediate product take place. According to this method, printed products can be produced with folded two precursors arranged side by side in a folded main product, in each of which at least one plug-in product is inserted. To carry out this method, a device has pocket-shaped compartments with two side walls each, wherein one side wall is assigned a prefolding holding element for opening the main product and the precursors and the other side wall is a product holding element. To open the products, either the compartments are pivoted or the prefolding holding element can be pivoted from one side wall to the other side wall and back again.

Eine Einrichtung zum Sammeln, Zusammentragen und Einstecken von Druckereiprodukten ist in der EP-A-0 346 578 offenbart. Hintereinander angeordnete Halteanordnungen weisen sattelförmige Auflagen auf. Die Wände dieser Auflagen begrenzen taschenförmige Aufnahmeteile. Die von einem ersten Zuförderer in die Aufnahmeteile eingeführten Druckereiprodukte werden von einer Öffnungsvorrichtung geöffnet, sodass mittels weiterer Zuförderer zugeführte Druckereiprodukt in das erste geöffnete Druckereiprodukt eingesteckt werden können. Wird die Öffnungsvorrichtung ausgeschaltet, kommen die von den Zufördereren einem Aufnahmeteil zugeführten Druckereiprodukte nebeneinander zu liegen. Des weiteren können die Druckereiprodukte von den Zuförderern mit ihrer offenen Seite voraus zugeführt werden, wobei die Druckereiprodukte mittels einer Öffnungseinrichtung geöffnet und rittlings auf die sattelförmigen Auflagen abgelegt werden. Eine der Wände ist jeweils mit einem Greifer versehen und zur anderen Wand einer benachbarten Auflage hin verschwenkbar, um das in das zutreffende Aufnahmeteil eingeführte Druckereiprodukt zu öffnen.An institution for collecting, collating and Inserting printed products is in the EP-A-0 346 578 disclosed. Successively arranged holding arrangements have saddle-shaped pads. The walls of these pads limit pocket-shaped receiving parts. The printed products introduced from a first feed conveyor into the receiving parts are opened by an opening device, so that printed product fed by means of further feed conveyors can be inserted into the first opened printed product. If the opening device is turned off, the printed products fed by the feed conveyors to a receiving part come to lie next to one another. Furthermore, the printed products can be supplied from the feeders with their open side ahead, the printed products are opened by means of an opening device and placed astride the saddle-shaped pads. One of the walls is in each case provided with a gripper and can be pivoted toward the other wall of an adjacent support in order to open the printed product introduced into the relevant receiving part.

Bei einem aus der EP-A-0 911 289 bekannten Verfahren wird einer Tasche einer Einsteckmaschine ein Hauptprodukt zugeführt, welches in der Tasche geöffnet und welchem dann, zur Herstellung eines Druckereierzeugnisses, durch Einstecken Teilprodukte und/oder Beilagen zugeführt werden. In einem nachfolgenden Abschnitt eines Produktionspfades der Einsteckmaschine werden die Taschen, in welchen die Druckereierzeugnisse verbleiben, mit einem weiteren Hauptprodukt beschickt, welches zum Einstecken von Teilprodukten und/oder Beilagen geöffnet wird.At one of the EP-A-0 911 289 Known methods, a bag of a Einsteckmaschine a main product is fed, which opened in the bag and which then, for the production of a printed product, by inserting partial products and / or supplements are supplied. In a subsequent section of a production path of the inserter, the pockets in which the printed products remain are fed with another main product which is opened for insertion of partial products and / or supplements.

Die Druckschrift EP 301 244 A offenbart eine Vorrichtung zum Einbringen wenigstens einer Einlage in Druckereiprodukte, bei welcher zwei deckungsgleich aufeinanderliegend zugeführte Druckereiprodukte, in einer Förderrichtung gesehen, gegeneinander verschoben werden, bevor sie von einer Fördereinrichtung erfasst und zu einem Zuführabschnitt weitergefördert werden. Während dieser Weiterförderung wird das erste Druckereiprodukt geöffnet und dann im Zuführabschnitt in dieses ein erstes Einsteckprodukt eingeführt. Bevor die beiden Druckereiprodukte in Förderrichtung zum nächsten Zuführabschnitt gefördert werden, werden sie wieder derart ausgerichtet, dass die vorlaufenden Kanten beider Druckereiprodukte auf gleicher Höhe angeordnet sind. Im Zuge der Weiterförderung wird dann das zweite Druckereiprodukt geöffnet und in dieses im nächsten Zuführabschnitt ein zweites Einsteckprodukt eingesteckt.The publication EP 301 244 A discloses a device for introducing at least one insert into printed products, in which two printing products supplied congruently to one another, as seen in a conveying direction, are displaced relative to one another before being picked up by a conveying device and conveyed on to a feeding section. During this further promotion, the first printed product is opened and then introduced in the feed section into this a first plug-in product. Before the two printed products are conveyed in the conveying direction to the next feed section, they are again aligned such that the leading edges of both printed products are arranged at the same height. In the course of further promotion then the second printed product is opened and plugged into this in the next Zuführabschnitt a second plug-in product.

Aus dem Dokument CH 649 267 A ist ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Einbringen wenigstens einer Einlage in Druckereiprodukte bekannt, bei welcher jeweils zwei deckungsgleich angeordnete Druckereiprodukte einem Eingabeabschnitt zugeführt werden. Diese werden gemeinsam einem ersten Zuführabschnitt zugeführt, wobei dabei das erste Druckereiprodukt geöffnet und im ersten Zuführabschnitt in dieses ein erstes Einsteckprodukt eingeführt wird. Anschliessend werden die beiden Druckereiprodukte gemeinsam einem zweiten Zuführabschnitt unter Öffnen des zweiten Druckereiprodukts zugeführt. Im zweiten Zuführabschnitt wird diesem geöffneten zweiten Druckereiprodukt ein zweites Einsteckprodukt zugeführt. Weisen die deckungsgleich dem Zuführabschnitt zugeführten Druckereiprodukte einen Vorfalz auf, werden diese gemeinsam unter Öffnen des ersten Druckereiprodukts dem ersten Zuführabschnitt zugefördert. In diesem wird in das geöffnete erste Druckereiprodukt ein erstes Einsteckprodukt eingesteckt, dann werden die beiden Druckereiprodukte relativ zueinander verschoben und unter Öffnen des zweiten Druckereiprodukts dem zweiten Zuführabschnitt zugeführt. Dort wird in das zweite Druckereiprodukt ein zweites Einsteckprodukt eingesteckt, wobei die beiden Druckereiprodukte wieder deckungsgleich ausgerichtet sind.From the document CH 649 267 A a method and a device for introducing at least one insert into printed products is known, in which two congruently arranged printed products are fed to an input section. These are fed together to a first feed section, in which case the first printed product is opened and in the first feed section a first plug-in product is introduced into the first feed section. Subsequently, the two printed products are fed together to a second feed section while opening the second printed product. In the second feed section, a second plug-in product is fed to this opened second printed product. If the printed products congruently supplied to the feed section have a prefold, they are conveyed together to the first feed section while the first printed product is being opened. In this, a first plug-in product is inserted into the opened first printed product, then the two printed products are shifted relative to each other and fed to the second feed section while opening the second printed product. There, a second plug-in product is inserted into the second printed product, wherein the two printed products are again aligned congruent.

Die EP 0 237 701 A offenbart ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Einbringen von wenigstens einer Einlage in vorzugsweise gefaltete Druckereiprodukte. Die mit Beilagen zu versehenden Druckereiprodukte werden jeweils paarweise durch einen Zuförderer einer Verarbeitungstrommel zugeführt. Letztere weist etwa radial verlaufende, am Trommelumfang offene Abteile auf, in denen Vorschubmittel zum Vorschieben der sich in den Abteilen befindlichen Druckereiprodukte angeordnet sind. Jedes Abteil ist mittels einer entfernbaren Trennwand in zwei Vorschubkanäle unterteilt. Diese Trennwände enden in einem Abstand vor den Vorschubmitteln. Jedes der beiden miteinander zugeführten Druckereiprodukte wird in einen Vorschubkanal eingeführt. Dazu werden die beiden Druckereiprodukte von einem Greifer des Zuförderers im Bereich ihrer offenen Seitenkante festgehalten, welche quer zur Förderrichtung des Zuförderers verläuft. Dabei sind die beiden durch denselben Greifer gehaltenen Druckereiprodukte in einer quer zur erwähnten Seitenkante verlaufenden Richtung gegeneinander versetzt. Die Druckereiprodukte in den Vorschubkanälen jedes Abteils werden dann gemeinsam vorgeschoben und etwa gleichzeitig geöffnet und mit einer Einlage versehen.The EP 0 237 701 A discloses a method and apparatus for introducing at least one insert into preferably folded printed products. The printed products to be supplemented are fed in pairs through a feed conveyor to a processing drum. The latter has approximately radially extending, on the drum periphery open compartments in which feed means for advancing the located in the compartments printed products are arranged. Each compartment is divided into two feed channels by means of a removable partition. These partitions end at a distance in front of the feed means. Each of the two printed products fed together is introduced into a feed channel. For this purpose, the two printed products are held by a gripper of the feed conveyor in the region of its open side edge, which extends transversely to the conveying direction of the feed conveyor. The two printed products held by the same gripper are offset from each other in a direction transverse to the mentioned side edge. The printed products in the feed channels of each compartment are then advanced together and opened about the same time and provided with an insert.

Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein gattungsgemässes Verfahren derart weiter zu bilden, dass eine einfache und sichere Manipulierbarkeit der Druckereiprodukte gewährleistet ist.It is an object of the present invention, a generic method continue to form such that a simple and secure manipulation of the printed products is guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Verfahren gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a method according to claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäss sind, wenigstens beim Einstecken des zweiten Einsteckprodukts, das erste und das zweite Druckereiprodukt relativ zueinander in Richtung der Falze verschoben in taschenförmigen Abteilen angeordnet. Jedes der beiden Druckereiprodukte weist dadurch einen seitlich über das andere Druckereiprodukt vorstehenden Randabschnitt auf, in welchem Mittel zum Manipulieren der Druckereiprodukte, beispielsweise Greifer zum Öffnen der Druckereiprodukte, angreifen können, ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, dass das andere Druckereiprodukt unerwünschterweise beeinflusst wird.According to the invention, at least when inserting the second insert product, the first and the second printed product are arranged displaced relative to one another in the direction of the folds in pocket-shaped compartments. Each of the two printed products thereby has a laterally projecting over the other Druckereiprodukt edge portion in which means for manipulating the printed products, such as grippers for opening the printed products, attack, without the risk that the other printed product is influenced undesirably.

Wird das zweite Druckereiprodukt bereits offen in das Abteil neben das erste Druckereiprodukt eingeführt, so ist selbstredender Weise ein Öffnen dieses zweiten Druckereiprodukts im Abteil nicht mehr notwendig, jedoch sind auch in diesem Fall die beiden Druckereiprodukte mindestens beim Einstecken des zweiten Einsteckprodukts in das zweite Druckereiprodukt relativ zueinander verschoben. Diese Verschiebung bietet Angriffsmöglichkeiten für nachfolgende Manipulationen, beispielsweise das Schliessen des zweiten Druckereiprodukts oder das Öffnen des ersten Druckereiprodukts.If the second printed product is already introduced openly into the compartment next to the first printed product, it is of course no longer necessary to open this second printed product in the compartment, but also in this case the two printed products are relative at least when the second insert product is inserted into the second printed product shifted to each other. This shift provides opportunities for subsequent manipulation, such as closing the second printed product or opening the first printed product.

Weiter wird eine hohe Produktivität erzielt, da in jedem Abteil zwei Druckereierzeugnisse hergestellt werden können.Further, high productivity is achieved since two printed products can be produced in each compartment.

Die taschenförmigen Abteile weisen keine Fördermittel auf, um die Druckereiprodukte gemeinsam in Längsrichtung der Abteile in ein benachbartes Abteil hinein zu fördern.The bag-shaped compartments have no conveying means for conveying the printed products together in the longitudinal direction of the compartments into an adjacent compartment.

Unter einem einen Falz aufweisenden Druckereiprodukt wird im vorliegenden Zusammenhang auch ein mehrblättriges Druckereiprodukt verstanden, das - an Stelle eines Falzes - an einen Rand gebunden ist.In the present context, a printed product having a fold is also understood to mean a multi-leaf printed product which, instead of being folded, is bound to an edge.

Werden das erste und das zweite Druckereiprodukt relativ zueinander verschoben gleichzeitig in ein Abteil eingeführt, ist ein einziger Zuförderer beziehungsweise eine einzige Zuführeinrichtung, wie beispielsweise ein Anleger, zum Zuführen der Druckereiprodukte ausreichend. Auch ein Verschieben der beiden Druckereiprodukte im Abteil ist in diesem Fall nicht notwendig.If the first and second printed products are moved relative to one another simultaneously into a compartment, a single feed conveyor or a single feed device, such as a feeder, is sufficient for feeding the printed products. A shift of the two printed products in the compartment is not necessary in this case.

Werden das erste und das zweite Druckereiprodukt deckungsgleich gleichzeitig in ein Abteil eingeführt, ist wiederum ein einziger Zuförderer zum Zuführen der Druckereiprodukte ausreichend. In diesem Fall sind jedoch die beiden im Abteil angeordneten Druckereiprodukte relativ zueinander zu verschieben. Dieses Verschieben kann auf bekannte Art und Weise erfolgen, beispielsweise mittels Verschiebemittel wie sie in der EP-A-0 301 244 und in der entsprechenden US-A-4,867,429 offenbart sind.If the first and second printed products are congruently introduced into a compartment at the same time, once again a single feed conveyor for feeding the printed products is sufficient. In this case, however, the two printed products arranged in the compartment are to be displaced relative to one another. This displacement can be done in a known manner, for example by means of displacement as shown in the EP-A-0 301 244 and in the corresponding US-A-4,867,429 are disclosed.

Da das erste und das zweite Druckereiprodukt relativ zueinander in Richtung der Falze verschoben angeordnet sind, können die beiden Druckereiprodukte auch auf äusserst einfache Art und Weise gleichzeitig offen gehalten werden, was das gleichzeitige Einstecken je eines Einsteckprodukts in die beiden Druckereiprodukte ermöglicht. Das gleichzeitige Einstecken von Einsteckprodukten in die beiden Druckereiprodukte führt zu einer sehr hohen Produktivität und ermöglicht Vorrichtungen entsprechend platzsparend auszubilden.Since the first and the second printed products are arranged displaced relative to one another in the direction of the folds, the two printed products can also be kept open at the same time in an extremely simple manner, which enables the simultaneous insertion of one insert product into the two printed products. The simultaneous insertion of Einsteckprodukten in the two printed products leads to a very high productivity and allows devices to form correspondingly space-saving.

Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren lässt es jedoch auch zu, zuerst das erste Einsteckprodukt in das erste Druckereiprodukt und danach das zweite Einsteckprodukt in das zweite Druckereiprodukt einzustecken. In diesem Fall wird in bevorzugter Weise das erste Druckereiprodukt nach dem Einstecken des ersten Einsteckprodukts geschlossen und mit diesem Schliessen oder danach das zweite Druckereiprodukt zum Einstecken des zweiten Einsteckprodukts geöffnet.However, the method according to the invention also makes it possible first to insert the first insert product into the first printed product and then the second insert product into the second printed product. In this case, the first printed product is preferably closed after inserting the first plug-in product, and with this closing or thereafter the second printed product is opened for inserting the second plug-in product.

Das Beschicken eines Abteils vorerst mit einem ersten Druckereiprodukt und das nachfolgende Beschicken dieses Abteils mit einem zweiten Druckereiprodukt kann mittels zwei Zufördereren beziehungsweise Zuführeinrichtungen oder mittels eines einzigen Zuförderers erfolgen. Im erst genannten Fall sind in bevorzugter Weise die beiden Zuförderer beziehungsweise Zuführeinrichtungen relativ zueinander seitlich verschoben anzuordnen, um die betreffenden Druckereiprodukte seitlich verschoben in die Abteile einzuführen. Im zweit genannten Fall verläuft in bevorzugter Weise der Zuförderer bezüglich eines Förderweges der Abteile derart, dass ein relativ zueinander seitlich verschobenes Beschicken der Abteile mit den Druckereiprodukten erfolgt, wobei die Druckereiprodukte im Wirkbereich des Zuförderers gleich angeordnet sein können, das heisst nicht relativ zueinander seitlich verschoben angeordnet zu sein brauchen.The loading of a compartment for the time being with a first printed product and the subsequent loading of this compartment with a second printed product can take place by means of two feed conveyors or feed devices or by means of a single feed conveyor. In the former case, the two feeders or feeders are to be arranged laterally displaced relative to each other in a preferred manner to introduce the respective printed products laterally displaced into the compartments. In the second-mentioned case, the feed conveyor preferably runs with respect to a conveying path of the compartments in such a way that the compartments are loaded laterally with the printed products, the printed products being able to be arranged identically in the effective area of the feed conveyor, that is not displaced laterally relative to one another need to be arranged.

In bevorzugter Weise wird mindestens mit dem Öffnen des zweiten Druckereiprodukts im seitlichen Randabschnitt begonnen, mit welchem es über das andere Druckereiprodukt vorsteht. Die Öffnungsmittel können in eindeutiger Weise im zweiten Druckereiprodukt angreifen, ohne dass die Gefahr eines Konflikts mit dem ersten Druckereiprodukt besteht. Das Öffnen kann auf allgemein bekannte Art und Weise beispielsweise mittels Öffnungsgreifern, Saugköpfen einem Luftstrahl oder dergleichen erfolgen.Preferably, at least with the opening of the second printed product in the lateral edge section started, with which it over the other printed product protrudes. The opening means can uniquely engage the second printed product without the risk of conflict with the first printed product. The opening can be done in a well-known manner, for example by means of opening grippers, suction heads an air jet or the like.

Eine besonders geeignete Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen nach dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren ist im Patenanspruch 10 angegeben. Sind an den seitlichen Endbereichen der Abteile Greifer angeordnet, können diese zuverlässig je eines der beiden seitlich versetzt im Abteil angeordneten Druckereiprodukte ergreifen. Jede Gefahr, dass das falsche Druckereiprodukt ergriffen wird, ist ausgeschlossen.A particularly suitable apparatus for producing printed products according to the inventive method is specified in claim 10. If grippers are arranged on the lateral end regions of the compartments, they can reliably grasp one of the two printed products arranged laterally offset in the compartment. Any risk that the wrong printed matter is taken is excluded.

Die Greifer können bezüglich der Seitenwände der Abteile fest angeordnet sein; in diesem Fall werden die Abteile zum Öffnen der Druckereiprodukte verschwenkt, sei es durch eine Bewegungsbahn mit Steigungen und Gefälle, oder durch Verschwenken der Abteile um eine Trägerachse. Andererseits können in bevorzugter Weise die Greifer unabhängig voneinander zwischen den beiden Seitenwänden der Abteile hin und zurück bewegbar angeordnet sein. In diesem Fall ist zum Öffnen der Druckereiprodukte kein Verschwenken der Abteile notwendig.The grippers may be fixedly arranged with respect to the side walls of the compartments; In this case, the compartments are pivoted to open the printed products, either by a trajectory with gradients and gradients, or by pivoting the compartments about a support axis. On the other hand, preferably, the grippers can be arranged independently back and forth between the two side walls of the compartments back and forth. In this case, no pivoting of the compartments is necessary to open the printed products.

In bevorzugter Weise sind die Greifer um eine beim Boden oder unterhalb des Bodens angeordnete Schwenkachse schwenkbar. Dies ermöglicht eine äusserst einfache Ausbildung der Schwenksteuerung, beispielsweise mittels Kulissen.Preferably, the grippers are pivotable about an arranged at the bottom or below the floor pivot axis. This allows an extremely simple design of the swivel control, for example by means of scenes.

Ist die Vorrichtung derart ausgebildet, dass wenigstens einer der beiden Greifer zwischen den beiden Seitenwänden angehalten werden kann, ist das gleichzeitige Einstecken je eines Einsteckprodukts in die beiden Druckereiprodukte ermöglicht. Gegebenenfalls kann dieser Greifer mit einem Halteelement ausgebildet sein, um auch einen Teil des anderen Druckereiprodukts zu halten.If the device is designed such that at least one of the two grippers can be stopped between the two side walls, the simultaneous insertion is ever a Einsteckprodukts in the two printed products allows. Optionally, this gripper may be formed with a holding element to also hold a part of the other printed product.

Fig. 1a zeigt ein mit einem ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 bestücktes, gestrichelt angedeutetes, taschenförmiges Abteil 12 einer Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14. Die Vorrichtung weist eine Anzahl in einer Förderrichtung F hintereinander angeordnete Abteile 12 auf, deren Längsrichtung L quer, insbesondere rechtwinklig zu Förderrichtung F verläuft. Beim ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 handelt es sich um ein gefalztes Druckereiprodukt, beispielsweise ein Hauptprodukt einer herzustellenden Zeitung. Das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 wurde mit seinem Falz 16 voraus in das Abteil 12 eingeführt, sodass es mit seinem Falz 16 auf einem Boden 18 des Abteils 12 und mit einer Flachseite an einer von zwei an den Boden 18 anschliessenden Seitenwänden 20 des Abteils 12 anliegt. Fig. 1a 1 shows a bag-shaped compartment 12, equipped with a first printed product 10, of a device for producing printed products 14. The device has a number of compartments 12 arranged one behind the other in a conveying direction F whose longitudinal direction L is transverse, in particular perpendicular to the conveying direction F. The first printed product 10 is a folded printed product, for example a main product of a newspaper to be produced. The first printed product 10 was introduced with its fold 16 ahead in the compartment 12 so that it rests with its fold 16 on a bottom 18 of the compartment 12 and with a flat side on one of two adjoining the bottom 18 side walls 20 of the compartment 12.

Wie Fig. 1b zeigt, wird das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 im Abteil 12 geöffnet und wird, in Einsteckrichtung E, ein erstes Einsteckprodukt 22 in das geöffnete erste Druckereiprodukt 10 eingesteckt. Beim ersten Einsteckprodukt 22 kann es sich beispielsweise um ein ebenfalls gefalztes Vorprodukt für die Zeitung, eine Beilage oder dergleichen handeln. Unter erstem Einsteckprodukt 22 soll auch verstanden werden, dass gleichzeitig oder nacheinander mehrere Einsteckprodukte in das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 eingesteckt werden können.As Fig. 1b shows, the first printed product 10 is opened in the compartment 12 and, in the insertion direction E, a first plug-in product 22 in the opened first printed product 10 is inserted. The first plug-in product 22 may be, for example, a likewise folded preliminary product for the newspaper, an insert or the like. The first plug-in product 22 should also be understood as meaning that several plug-in products can be plugged into the first printed product 10 at the same time or in succession.

Anschliessend an das Einstecken des ersten Einsteckprodukts 22 in das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 wird dieses geschlossen - wie dies Fig. 1c zeigt - und an eine der Seitenwände 20, im vorliegenden Fall an die, in Förderrichtung F gesehen, nachlaufende Seitenwand 20 angelehnt.Subsequent to the insertion of the first plug-in product 22 into the first printed product 10, the latter is closed - as is Fig. 1c shows - and on one of the side walls 20, in the present case to the, seen in the conveying direction F, trailing side wall 20 ajar.

Anschliessend wird, wie Fig. 1d zeigt, ein ebenfalls gefaltetes zweites Druckereiprodukt 24 in das Abteil 12 derart neben das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 eingeführt, dass es mit seinem Falz 16 auf dem Boden 18 zur Anlage kommt, jedoch in Richtung der Falze 16 und somit der Längsrichtung L des Abteils 12 bezüglich des ersten Druckereiprodukts 10 derart seitlich verschoben ist, dass es mit einem Randabschnitt 26 über das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 vorsteht. Entsprechend steht auch das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 mit einem Randabschnitt 26 über das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 vor.Subsequently, how Fig. 1d shows a likewise folded second printed product 24 introduced into the compartment 12 adjacent to the first printed product 10 so as to abut with its fold 16 on the floor 18, but in the direction of the fold 16 and thus the longitudinal direction L of the compartment 12 with respect to FIG first printed product 10 is displaced laterally such that it has an edge portion 26 over the first Printed product 10 protrudes. Correspondingly, the first printed product 10 with an edge section 26 protrudes beyond the second printed product 24.

Nach dem Öffnen des zweiten Druckereiprodukts 24 - siehe Fig. 1e - wird ein zweites Einsteckprodukt 28 in das geöffnete zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 in Einsteckrichtung E eingesteckt. Es kann sich dabei um ein dem ersten Einsteckprodukt 22 entsprechendes Produkt oder auch um mehrere Produkte handeln.After opening the second printed product 24 - see Fig. 1e - A second plug-in product 28 is inserted into the opened second printed product 24 in the insertion direction E. It may be a product corresponding to the first plug-in product 22 or else several products.

Die beiden, durch Einstecken des ersten Einsteckprodukts 22 und zweiten Einsteckprodukts 28 in das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 beziehungsweise zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 hergestellten Druckereierzeugnisse 14 können nun in ihrer relativ zueinander verschobenen Lage den betreffendem Abteil 12 entnommen und weggefördert, oder, wie in Fig. 1f angedeutet, im Abteil 12, wie mit dem Pfeil S gezeigt, derart relativ zueinander verschoben werden, dass sie deckungsgleich aneinander anliegen, wie dies Fig. 1g zeigt. Die beiden Druckereierzeugnisse 14 können dann, beispielsweise mittels eines als Klammertransporteur ausgebildeten Wegförderers, dem Abteil 12 zur Weiterverarbeitung entnommen werden.The two printed products 14 produced by inserting the first insert product 22 and the second insert product 28 into the first printed product 10 and second printed product 24 can now be removed and conveyed away from the relevant compartment 12 in their relatively shifted position, or, as in FIG Fig. 1f indicated in the compartment 12, as shown by the arrow S, are moved relative to each other so that they lie congruently to each other, like this Fig. 1g shows. The two printed products 14 can then be removed from the compartment 12 for further processing, for example by means of a removal conveyor designed as a staple conveyor.

Bei einer in der Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform des Verfahrens zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14 werden - wie Fig. 2a zeigt - miteinander das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 und das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 in ein, der besseren Übersichtlichkeitshalber nicht gezeigtes, Abteil 12 eingeführt. Die beiden Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 liegen flächig aneinander an und sind in Richtung der Falze 16 derart verschoben, dass die beiden Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 je mit einem seitlichen Randabschnitt 26 über das andere Druckereiprodukt 10, 24 vorstehen.At one in the Fig. 2 illustrated embodiment of the method for producing printed products 14 are - like Fig. 2a shows - together the first printed product 10 and the second printed product 24 in a, for better clarity not shown, introduced compartment 12. The two printed products 10, 24 lie flat against each other and are shifted in the direction of the fold 16 such that the two printed products 10, 24 each with a lateral Edge portion 26 on the other printed product 10, 24 protrude.

Anschliessend wird, Fig. 2b entsprechend, das erste Druckereiprodukt 10, im vorliegenden Fall das in Förderrichtung F gesehen vorlaufende der beiden Druckereiprodukte 10, 24, geöffnet und in dieses geöffnete erste Druckereiprodukt 10 ein erstes Einsteckprodukt 22 in Einsteckrichtung E eingesteckt.Subsequently, Fig. 2b Accordingly, the first printed product 10, in the present case seen in the conveying direction F leading the two printed products 10, 24, opened and inserted into this open first printed product 10, a first plug-in product 22 in the insertion direction E.

Das durch Einstecken des ersten Einsteckprodukts 22 zu einem Druckereierzeugnis 14 komplettierte erste Druckereiprodukt 10 wird geschlossen - wie dies Fig. 2c zeigt - und anschliessend wird das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 geöffnet, siehe dazu Fig. 2d. In das geöffnete zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 wird dann ein zweites Einsteckprodukt 28, wie mit dem Pfeil E angedeutet, eingesteckt.The first printed product 10 completed by inserting the first insert product 22 into a printed product 14 is closed - as is Fig. 2c shows - and then the second printed product 24 is opened, see Fig. 2d , A second plug-in product 28, as indicated by the arrow E, is then inserted into the opened second printed product 24.

Die durch Einstecken zu Druckereierzeugnissen 14 komplettierten Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 können nun, wie in Fig. 2e mit dem Pfeil S angedeutet, relativ zueinander verschoben werden, sodass sie deckungsgleich zum Wegtransport aneinander anliegen, wie dies Fig. 2f zeigt.The printed products 10, 24 completed by insertion into printed products 14 can now, as in FIG Fig. 2e indicated by the arrow S, are displaced relative to each other so that they abut congruent to the path transport to each other, like this Fig. 2f shows.

Bei einer in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform des Verfahrens zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14 werden jeweils ein erstes Druckereiprodukt 10 und zweites Druckereiprodukt 24 zusammen, deckungsgleich aneinander anliegend in ein Abteil 12 eingeführt. Wie mit dem Pfeil S in Fig. 3a angedeutet, werden die beiden Druckereiprodukte 10 und 24 im Abteil 12 relativ zueinander in Richtung der Falze 16 verschoben, sodass das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 und das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 mit je einem Randabschnitt 26 über das andere Druckereiprodukt vorstehen; siehe dazu Fig. 3b.At an in Fig. 3 In the illustrated embodiment of the method for producing printed products 14, a first printed product 10 and a second printed product 24 are introduced together, congruently abutting one another in a compartment 12. As with the arrow S in Fig. 3a indicated, the two printed products 10 and 24 are moved in the compartment 12 relative to each other in the direction of the fold 16, so that the first printed product 10 and the second printed product 24 project with one edge portion 26 on the other Druckereiprodukt; see Fig. 3b ,

Wie in Fig. 3c angedeutet ist, wird dann das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 geöffnet und in dieses ein erstes Einsteckprodukt 22 in Einsteckrichtung E eingesteckt. Das zu einem Druckereierzeugnis 14 komplettierte erste Druckereiprodukt 10 wird dann wieder geschlossen, wie das Fig. 3d zeigt.As in Fig. 3c is indicated, then the first printed product 10 is opened and inserted into this a first plug-in product 22 in the insertion direction E. The completed to a printed product 14 first printed product 10 is then closed again, like that Fig. 3d shows.

Nachdem anschliessenden Öffnen des zweiten Druckereiprodukts 24 - siehe Fig. 3e - wird in dieses ein zweites Einsteckprodukt 28 in Einsteckrichtung E eingesteckt.After subsequent opening of the second printed product 24 - see Fig. 3e - Is inserted into this a second plug-in product 28 in the insertion direction E.

Danach wird das zu einem Druckereierzeugnis 14 komplettierte zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 geschlossen, wie dies in Fig. 3f angedeutet ist. Die beiden Druckereierzeugnisse 14 können wiederum in relativ zueinander verschobener Lage weggefördert oder, wie mit dem Pfeil S angedeutet, in eine relativ zueinander im Abteil deckungsgleiche Lage, die in Fig. 3g gezeigt ist, zum Wegtransport verschoben werden.Thereafter, the completed to a printed product 14 second printed product 24 is closed, as in Fig. 3f is indicated. The two printed products 14 can in turn be conveyed away in a position shifted relative to one another or, as indicated by the arrow S, into a position congruent relative to one another in the compartment, which in FIG Fig. 3g is shown, are moved to the way transport.

Bei einer in der Fig. 4 gezeigten Ausführungsform des Verfahrens zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14 werden wiederum das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 und das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 gleichzeitig und deckungsgleich aneinander anliegend in ein Abteil 12 eingeführt. Wie in Fig. 4a mit dem Pfeil S angedeutet, werden wiederum die beiden Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 in Richtung ihrer Falze 16 relativ zueinander verschoben, sodass das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 mit einem Randabschnitt 26 über das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 vorsteht. Entsprechend steht dann auch das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 mit einem Randabschnitt 26 über das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 vor.At one in the Fig. 4 In the illustrated embodiment of the method for producing printed products 14, in turn, the first printed product 10 and the second printed product 24 are introduced into a compartment 12 simultaneously and congruently abutting one another. As in Fig. 4a indicated by the arrow S, in turn, the two printed products 10, 24 are moved in the direction of their folds 16 relative to each other, so that the first printed product 10 protrudes with an edge portion 26 via the second printed product 24. Correspondingly, the second printed product 24 with an edge section 26 projects beyond the first printed product 10.

Nun werden, wie Fig. 4c zeigt, gleichzeitig oder kurz nacheinander das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 und das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 geöffnet und gleichzeitig in diese Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 ein erstes beziehungsweise zweites Einsteckprodukt 22, 28 in Einsteckrichtung E eingesteckt.Well, how will Fig. 4c shows, simultaneously or briefly successively open the first printed product 10 and the second printed product 24 and at the same time in these printed products 10, 24 a first or second plug-in product 22, 28 inserted in the insertion direction E.

Anschliessend werden die durch Einstecken zu einem Druckereierzeugnis 14 komplettierten beiden Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 geschlossen - Fig. 4d - und in ihrer relativ zueinander verschobenen Lage weggefördert oder zum Wegfördern, wie mit dem Pfeil S angedeutet, in eine in Fig. 4e gezeigte, deckungsgleiche Lage verbracht.Subsequently, the two printed products 10, 24 completed by insertion into a printed product 14 are closed - Fig. 4d - And conveyed away in their relative to each other shifted position or for conveying away, as indicated by the arrow S, in an in Fig. 4e shown, congruent situation spent.

Bei der in der Fig. 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist es auch möglich die Einsteckprodukte 22, 28 nicht gleichzeitig, sondern nacheinander in die geöffneten und offen gehaltenen Druckereiprodukte 10 beziehungsweise 24 einzustecken.When in the Fig. 4 In the embodiment shown, it is also possible for the plug-in products 22, 28 not to be inserted simultaneously but successively into the opened and open printed products 10 and 24, respectively.

In der Fig. 5 ist eine Ausführungsform des Verfahrens zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14 dargestellt, bei welche ein gefalztes erstes Druckereiprodukt 10 und ein in diesem angeordnetes, in Richtung der Falze 16 verschobenes, ebenfalls gefalztes zweites Druckereiprodukt 24 miteinander in ein Abteil 12 eingeführt werden. Es ist auch möglich das Abteil 12 mit dem ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 zu bestücken und in dieses das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 in Richtung der Falze 16 verschoben einzuführen, sodass wiederum die in Fig. 5a gezeigte Situation gegeben ist, wobei diese beiden Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 geschlossen sein können wie in Fig. 5b gezeigt.In the Fig. 5 an embodiment of the method for producing printed products 14 is shown, in which a folded first printed product 10 and arranged in this, in the direction of the fold 16 shifted, also folded second printed product 24 are introduced into a compartment 12 with each other. It is also possible to load the compartment 12 with the first printed product 10 and to insert the second printed product 24 in the direction of the fold 16 in this, so that in turn the in Fig. 5a shown situation, these two printed products 10, 24 may be closed as in Fig. 5b shown.

Ausgehend von Fig. 5a wird das innen liegende zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 geschlossen oder, ausgehend von Fig. 5b, nur das aussen liegende erste Druckereiprodukt 10 geöffnet. In das erste geöffnete Druckereiprodukt 10 wird dann, wie mit dem Pfeil E in Fig. 5c angedeutet, ein erstes Einsteckprodukt 22 in das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 eingesteckt, wobei dieses erste Einsteckprodukt 22 neben das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 zu liegen kommt, wie dies Fig. 5d zeigt.Starting from Fig. 5a the inner second printed product 24 is closed or, starting from Fig. 5b , only the outside first printed product 10 open. In the first opened printed product 10 is then, as with the arrow E in Fig. 5c indicated, a first plug-in product 22 inserted into the first printed product 10, wherein this first plug-in product 22 next to the second printed product 24 comes to rest, like this Fig. 5d shows.

Anschliessend wird das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 geöffnet und in dieses, wie mit dem Pfeil E angedeutet, ein zweites Einsteckprodukt 28 eingesteckt; Fig. 5e. Fig. 5f zeigt das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 mit dem darin eingesteckten ersten Einsteckprodukt 22 und dem, neben diesem angeordneten, geöffneten zweiten Druckereiprodukt 24 mit dem darin eingesteckten zweiten Einsteckprodukt 28.Subsequently, the second printed product 24 is opened and inserted into this, as indicated by the arrow E, a second plug-in product 28; Fig. 5e. Fig. 5f shows the first printed product 10 with the first plug-in product 22 inserted therein and the second printed product 24 arranged next to it, with the second plug-in product 28 inserted therein.

Es besteht die Möglichkeit, das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 mit den darin angeordneten zweiten Einsteckprodukt 28 dem ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 als Druckereierzeugnis 14 zu entnehmen. Es besteht jedoch auch die Möglichkeit, die beiden Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 mit den entsprechenden Einsteckprodukten 22, 28 in Richtung der Falze 16 zu verschieben, sodass sie deckungsgleich angeordnet sind. In diesem Fall ist das Druckereierzeugnis 14 durch das erste Druckereiprodukt 10, das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 und die beiden Einsteckprodukte 22, 28 gebildet.It is possible to remove the second printed product 24 with the second plug-in product 28 arranged therein from the first printed product 10 as printed matter 14. However, it is also possible to move the two printed products 10, 24 with the corresponding plug-in products 22, 28 in the direction of the folds 16, so that they are arranged congruently. In this case, the printed product 14 is formed by the first printed product 10, the second printed product 24 and the two male products 22, 28.

In der in der Fig. 5 gezeigten Ausführungsform sind das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 und das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 aussermittig gefaltet, sodass ein, mit Vorfalz 30 bezeichneter, bandförmiger Randbereich des einen Produkteteils über den anderen Produkteteil vorsteht. Das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 ist derart im ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 angeordnet, dass die die Vorfalze 30 aufweisenden Produkte Teile einander zugewandt sind.In the in the Fig. 5 In the embodiment shown, the first printed product 10 and the second printed product 24 are folded off-center, so that a band-shaped edge region of one product part, designated by prefold 30, projects beyond the other product part. The second printed product 24 is arranged in the first printed product 10 in such a way that the products having the pre-folds 30 are facing parts of one another.

Da jeweils das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 bezüglich des ersten Druckereiprodukts 10 in Richtung der Falze 16 verschoben angeordnet ist, kann mittels Öffnungseinrichtungen auf das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 beziehungsweise das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 im zutreffenden Randabschnitt 26 zugegriffen werden, ohne das die Gefahr besteht, dass das falsche Druckereiprodukt 10, 24 geöffnet wird. Weisen die Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 einen Vorfalz 30 auf, so kann durch Angreifen am Vorfalz 30 im betreffenden Randabschnitt 26 das betreffende Druckereiprodukt 10, 24 auf einfache Art und Weise mittig geöffnet werden. Spielt es bei mehrblättrigen Druckereiprodukten 10, 24 keine Rolle, zwischen welche Seiten die Einsteckprodukte 22 beziehungsweise 28 zu liegen kommen, so brauchen die Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 keinen Vorfalz 30 aufzuweisen und können die Druckereiprodukte 10, 28 an beliebiger Stelle, beispielsweise durch Einstechen mittels eines Öffnungsschwertes, durch einen Luftstrahl oder dergleichen, geöffnet werden. Auch in diesem Fall beginnt der Öffnungsvorgang der Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 im betreffenden Randabschnitt 26.Since in each case the second printed product 24 is displaced in the direction of the fold 16 with respect to the first printed product 10, the first printed product 10 or the second printed product 24 in the appropriate edge section 26 can be accessed by means of opening means, without the risk that the wrong printed product will occur 10, 24 is opened. If the printed products 10, 24 have a prefold 30, the relevant printed product 10, 24 can be opened in the center in a simple manner by engaging the prefold 30 in the relevant edge section 26. Plays it in multi-leaflet printed products 10, 24 no matter between which sides the plug-in products 22 and 28 come to rest, the printed products 10, 24 need not have Vorfalz 30 and the printed products 10, 28 at any point, for example by piercing by means of a Opening sword, be opened by an air jet or the like. Also in this case, the opening process of the printed products 10, 24 begins in the respective edge section 26.

Der obigen Beschreibung der Figuren 1 bis 5 liegt die Systematik zu Grunde, dass ein einziges taschenförmiges Abteil 12 betrachtet wird, welches mit einem ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 und mit einem zweiten Druckereiprodukt 24 beschickt wird, wobei die aufeinander folgenden Verfahrensschritte zu aufeinanderfolgenden Zeitpunkten dargestellt sind. Die Figuren 1 bis 5 lassen sich jedoch auch derart lesen, dass die gleichzeitig an verschiedenen Stellen einer entsprechenden Vorrichtung ausgeführten Verfahrensschritte dargestellt sind.The above description of FIGS. 1 to 5 The system is based on the fact that a single pocket-shaped compartment 12 is considered, which is fed with a first printed product 10 and with a second printed product 24, wherein the successive method steps are shown at successive points in time. The FIGS. 1 to 5 However, it is also possible to read such that the method steps executed simultaneously at different points of a corresponding device are shown.

Fig. 6 zeigt in perspektivischer Darstellung einen Beschickungsabschnitt 32 einer Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14, mit in Förderrichtung F umlaufend angetriebenen, hintereinander angeordneten, taschenförmigen Abteilen 12. Jedes dieser Abteile 12 weist einen Boden 18 und zwei daran anschliessende Seitenwände 20 auf. Die Längsrichtung L der Abteile 12 verläuft rechtwinklig zur Förderrichtung F. Fig. 6 shows a perspective view of a loading section 32 of an apparatus for producing printed products 14, with circumferentially driven in the conveying direction F, arranged in succession, pocket-shaped compartments 12. Each of these compartments 12 has a bottom 18 and two adjoining side walls 20. The longitudinal direction L of the compartments 12 extends at right angles to the conveying direction F.

Im Beschickungsabschnitt 32 verläuft oberhalb der Vorrichtung ein als Klammertransporteur ausgebildeter Zuförderer 34. An einem in Zufördererrichtung Z umlaufend angetriebenen Förderorgan 36 sind im Abstand hintereinander Klammern 38 angeordnet, welche je mit einem ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 und einem zweiten Druckereiprodukt 24 bestückt sind. Die beiden Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 liegen flächig aneinander an, sind jedoch in Richtung der Falze 16 verschoben angeordnet, sodass wiederum jedes der Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 einen über das andere Druckereiprodukt 10, 24 vorstehenden Randabschnitt 26 aufweist. Die Bewegungsbahn der Klammern 38 weist, in Zuführrichtung Z gesehen, zuerst Gefälle auf die Umlaufbahn der Abteile 12 zu auf, sodass die von jeder der Klammern 38 gehaltenen Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 mit dem Innenraum eines zugeordneten Abteils 12 zusammen treffen. Am tiefsten Punkt der Bewegungsbahn der Klammern 38 ist eine Öffnungseinrichtung 40 angeordnet, welche jede daran vorbei führende Klammer 38 öffnet, die ihrerseits die beiden von ihr gehaltenen Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 freigibt. Die den Beschickungsabschnitt 32 verlassenden Abteile 12 sind je mit einem ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 und einem, bezüglich diesem verschoben angeordneten, zweiten Druckereiprodukt 24 bestückt, das der in Fig. 2a gezeigten Ausgangsposition des Verfahrens zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14 entspricht.In the feed section 32 runs above the device designed as a staple conveyor feeder 34. At one in Zufördererrichtung Z circumferentially driven conveyor member 36 at intervals one behind the other brackets 38 are arranged, which are each equipped with a first printed product 10 and a second printed product 24. The two printed products 10, 24 lie flat against each other, but are arranged shifted in the direction of the fold 16, so that in turn each of the printed products 10, 24 has over the other printed product 10, 24 protruding edge portion 26. The trajectory of the staples 38 has, as seen in the feeding direction Z, first down to the orbit of the compartments 12 on, so that the held by each of the brackets 38 printed products 10, 24 meet with the interior of an associated compartment 12 together. At the lowest point of the path of movement of the clamps 38, an opening device 40 is arranged which opens each clip 38 passing thereon, which in turn releases the two printed products 10, 24 held by it. The compartments 32 leaving the compartments 12 are each equipped with a first printed product 10 and, with respect to this arranged, arranged second printed product 24, the in Fig. 2a shown starting position of the method for the production of printed matter 14 corresponds.

Fig. 7 zeigt einen ersten Beschickungsabschnitt 32 und einen zweiten Beschickungsabschnitt 32' einer weitern Ausbildungsform der Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14. Diese Vorrichtung weist wiederum in Förderrichtung F umlaufend angetriebene, hintereinander angeordnete Abteile 12 auf. Im ersten Beschickungsabschnitt 32 werden mittels eines ersten Zuförderers 34, der wie im Zusammenhang mit der Figur 6 beschrieben ausgebildet ist, jedem der Abteile 12 ein erstes Druckereiprodukt 10 zugeführt. Im zweiten Beschickungsabschnitt 32' wird mittels eines zweiten Zuförderers 34', welcher gleich ausgebildet werden kann wie der erste Zuförderer 34, jedes der Abteile 12 mit einem zweiten Druckereiprodukt 24 beschickt. Damit diese zweiten Druckereiprodukte 24 bezüglich der ersten Druckereiprodukte 10, in Längsrichtung L der Abteile 12 und somit in Richtung der Falze 16 der Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 verschoben in die Abteile 10 zu stehen kommen, ist der zweite Zuförderer 34' bezüglich der Umlaufbahn der Abteile 12 entsprechend seitlich versetzt angeordnet. Fig. 7 shows a first feed section 32 and a second feed section 32 'of a further embodiment of the device for producing printed products 14. This device again has circumferentially driven in the conveying direction F, arranged one behind the other compartments 12. In the first feed section 32 are by means of a first feed conveyor 34, as in connection with the FIG. 6 is formed described, each of the compartments 12, a first printed product 10 is supplied. In the second feed section 32 ', each of the compartments 12 is fed with a second printed product 24 by means of a second feed conveyor 34', which can be configured identically to the first feed conveyor 34. In order for these second printed products 24 to be displaced into the compartments 10 with respect to the first printed products 10, in the longitudinal direction L of the compartments 12 and thus in the direction of the fold 16 of the printed products 10, 24, the second feed conveyor 34 'is in relation to the orbits of the compartments 12 arranged accordingly laterally offset.

Nach dem zweiten Beschickungsabschnitt 32' ist in jedem der Abteile 12 die in der Fig. 2a gezeigte Ausgangsposition der Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 erreicht.After the second feed section 32 'is in each of the compartments 12 in the Fig. 2a shown starting position of the printed products 10, 24 achieved.

Der zweite Beschickungsabschnitt 32' kann jedoch vom ersten Beschickungsabschnitt 32 weiter entfernt sein, sodass zwischen diesen beiden Beschickungsabschnitten das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 geöffnet und mit einem ersten Einsteckprodukt 22 bestückt werden kann, wie dies in den Figuren 1a - 1c dargestellt ist. Im zweiten Beschickungsabschnitt 32' kommt dann das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 neben das zu einem Druckereierzeugnis 14 komplettierte, erste Druckereiprodukt 10 zu stehen; Fig. 1d.However, the second feed section 32 'may be farther from the first feed section 32 so that between these two feed sections the first print product 10 can be opened and populated with a first plug-in product 22, as shown in FIGS Figures 1a - 1c is shown. In the second feed section 32 'then comes the second Printed product 24 next to the completed to a printed product 14, the first printed product 10 to stand; Fig. 1d ,

Die Figuren 8 und 9 zeigen zwei unmittelbar aufeinander folgende Beschickungsabschnitte 32, 32' der Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14. Diese weist wiederum im Abstand hintereinander angeordnete, in Förderrichtung F umlaufend angetriebene, taschenförmige Abteile 12 auf. Der Zuförderer 34 ist wiederum als Klammertransporteur ausgebildet, wobei die Klammern 38 in einem Abstand T am in Zuführrichtung Z umlaufend angetriebenen Förderorgan 36 angeordnet sind. Relativ zu den Klammern 38 sind die Abteile 12 in einem doppelt so grossen Mittenabstand zueinander angeordnet, was mit dem Pfeil 2T angedeutet ist. Die Klammern 38 sind abwechslungsweise mit einem ersten und einem zweiten Druckereiprodukt 10, 24 bestückt. Im ersten Beschickungsabschnitt 32 kommen die von jeder zweiten Klammer 38 gehaltenen ersten Druckereiprodukte 10 in Kämmung mit einem Abteil 12, während die von den dazwischen liegenden Klammern 38 gehaltenen zweiten Druckereiprodukte 10 zwischen je benachbarte Abteile 12 zu liegen kommen. Am tiefsten Punkt der Bewebungsbahn der Klammern 38 werden die betreffenden Klammern 38 geöffnet, sodass jedes Abteil 12 mit einem ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 bestückt wird.The FIGS. 8 and 9 show two immediately successive feed sections 32, 32 'of the apparatus for producing printed products 14. This in turn at a distance one behind the other, in the conveying direction F circumferentially driven, pocket-shaped compartments 12 on. The feed conveyor 34 is in turn designed as a staple transporter, the staples 38 being arranged at a distance T at the conveying member 36 which is driven in rotation in the feed direction Z. Relative to the brackets 38, the compartments 12 are arranged in a center distance twice as large, which is indicated by the arrow 2T. The clamps 38 are alternately equipped with a first and a second printed product 10, 24. In the first loading section 32, the first printed products 10 held by each second clip 38 come into mesh with a compartment 12, while the second printed products 10 held by the intermediate clips 38 come to lie between adjacent compartments 12. At the lowest point of the Bewebungsbahn the brackets 38, the respective brackets 38 are opened so that each compartment 12 is equipped with a first printed product 10.

Zwischen dem ersten Beschickungsabschnitt 32 und dem zweiten Beschickungsabschnitt 32' verläuft die Bewegungsbahn des Zuförderers 34 buckelartig, sodass die von den betreffenden Klammern 38 gehaltenen zweiten Druckereiprodukte 10, in vertikaler Richtung, ausser Überlappung mit den Abteilen 12 gelangen. Wie dies insbesondere der Fig. 9 entnehmbar ist, weist der Zuförderer 34 im Bereich des Buckels, in Draufsicht gesehen, einen S-förmigen Verlauf auf, sodass im zweiten Beschickungsabschnitt 32' der Zuförderer 34, verglichen mit dem ersten Beschickungsabschnitt 32, seitlich verschoben verläuft. Die Buckelform der Bewegungsbahn und die seitliche Versetzung führen dazu, dass nun jede, ein zweites Druckereiprodukt 24 haltende Klammer 38 im Beschickungsabschnitt 32 mit einem Abteil 12 zusammentrifft. Dies führt dazu, dass im zweiten Beschickungsabschnitt 32 jedem, bereits mit einem ersten Druckereierzeugnis 10 bestücktem Abteil 12 ein zweites Druckereiprodukt 24 seitlich verschoben zugeführt wird. Ausgangs des zweiten Beschickungsabschnitts 32' sind somit in jedem Abteil 12 ein erstes Druckereiprodukt 10, und verschoben dazu, ein zweites Druckereiprodukt 24 angeordnet, wie dies der Fig. 2a entspricht.Between the first feed section 32 and the second feed section 32 ', the path of movement of the feed conveyor 34 is in the manner of a hump, so that the second printed products 10 held by the respective clamps 38 do not overlap with the compartments 12 in the vertical direction. Like this especially the Fig. 9 can be removed, the feed conveyor 34 in the region of the hump, seen in plan view, an S-shaped course, so that in the second feed section 32 'of the feed conveyor 34, compared to the first feed section 32, laterally displaced. The humpback shape of the trajectory and the lateral offset cause each, a second printed product 24 holding bracket 38 in the feed section 32 coincides with a compartment 12. As a result, in the second loading section 32, a second printed product 24 is fed laterally displaced to each compartment 12 already equipped with a first printed product 10. Output of the second feed section 32 'are thus in each compartment 12, a first printed product 10, and shifted to a second printed product 24 is arranged, as the Fig. 2a equivalent.

Fig. 10 zeigt jeweils in Ansicht und in Draufsicht ein Abteil 12 mit einem darin angeordneten ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 und zweiten Druckereiprodukt 24 zu sieben unterschiedlichen, mit a bis g bezeichneten Zeitpunkten des Einsteckablaufs eines ersten Einsteckprodukts 22 und eines zweiten Einsteckprodukts 28 gemäss den in Fig. 2 und in Fig. 3 - zum Zeitpunkt gemäss Fig. 3b beginnend - dargestellten Verfahren. Fig. 10 shows, respectively in view and in plan view, a compartment 12 with a first printed product 10 and second printed product 24 arranged therein at seven different times, designated a to g, of the insertion sequence of a first insert product 22 and of a second insert product 28 according to FIGS Fig. 2 and in Fig. 3 - according to the time Fig. 3b starting - illustrated procedures.

Das Abteil 12 weist einen Boden 18 und zwei daran anschliessende, v-förmig angeordnete Seitenwände 20 auf, von welchen, in Förderrichtung F gesehen, die eine Seitenwand 20 vorlaufend und die andere nachlaufend ist. Die nachlaufende Seitenwand 20 weist, in der zur Förderrichtung F rechtwinklig verlaufenden Längsrichtung L gemessen, eine Ausdehnung auf, die der, in Richtung der Falze 16 gemessenen Länge, der beiden relativ zueinander verschobenen angeordneten Druckereiprodukte 10 und 24 entspricht. Die beiden Druckereiprodukte 10 und 24 liegen mit ihrem Falz 16 auf dem Boden 18 und das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 mit seiner den Vorfalz 30 aufweisenden Aussenseite flächig an der nachlaufenden Seitenwand 20 an. Das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 liegt mit seiner dem Vorfalz 30 aufweisenden Seite am ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 an. Ab dem Boden 18 gemessen entspricht die Höhe der Seitenwände 20 etwa der entsprechenden Ausdehnung der Druckereiprodukte 10, 24.The compartment 12 has a bottom 18 and two adjoining, v-shaped side walls 20, of which, seen in the conveying direction F, the one side wall 20 leading and the other is trailing. The trailing side wall 20 has, in the longitudinal direction L perpendicular to the conveying direction F, an extension which, in the direction of the Fold 16 measured length, the two relatively shifted arranged printed products 10 and 24 corresponds. The two printed products 10 and 24 lie with their fold 16 on the floor 18 and the first printed product 10 with its prefold 30 having outer surface on the trailing side wall 20 at. The second printed product 24 rests with its side having the prefold 30 on the first printed product 10. Measured from the bottom 18, the height of the side walls 20 corresponds approximately to the corresponding extent of the printed products 10, 24.

Das Abteil 12 weist in seinen, in Längsrichtung L voneinander abgewandten Endbereichen 42, 42' je einen Greifer 44, 46 auf. Der sich im ersten Endbereich 42 befindende erste Greifer 44 ist dazu bestimmt, mit dem Vorfalz 30 des ersten Druckereiprodukts 10 in seinem über das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 vorstehenden Randabschnitt 26 zusammenzuwirken. Entsprechend ist der im anderen Endbereich 42' angeordnete zweite Greifer 46 dazu bestimmt, mit dem Vorfalz 30 des zweiten Druckereiprodukts 24 in seinem über das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 seitlich vorstehenden Randabschnitt 26 zusammenzuwirken.The compartment 12 has in its, in the longitudinal direction L facing away from each other end portions 42, 42 'each have a gripper 44, 46. The first gripper 44 located in the first end region 42 is intended to cooperate with the prefold 30 of the first printed product 10 in its edge section 26 protruding beyond the second printed product 24. Accordingly, the second gripper 46 arranged in the other end region 42 'is intended to cooperate with the prefold 30 of the second printed product 24 in its edge section 26 projecting laterally beyond the first printed product 10.

Die beiden Greifer 44, 46 befinden sich, wie der Fig. 10a entnehmbar ist, in ihrer Ruheposition 48 bei der nachlaufenden Seitenwand 20, bei deren oberen freiliegenden Eckbereichen. Jeder der Greifer 44, 46 ist an einem Schwenkhebel 50 angeordnet, welcher seitlich ausserhalb der nachlaufenden Seitenwand 20 verläuft und unterhalb des Bodens 18, - oder beim Boden - an einem der besseren Übersichtlichkeitshalber nicht gezeigten Träger für das Abteil 12 gelagert ist. Die Schwenkachse 50' der Schwenkhebel 50 verläuft in Längsrichtung L. Die Schwenkhebel 50 sind als zweiarmige Hebel ausgebildet, wobei der eine Hebelarm an seinem freien Ende den zugeordneten Greifer 44, 46 und der andere Hebelarm an seinem Ende eine frei drehbar gelagerte Steuerrolle 52 trägt. Die Steuerrollen 52 sind dazu bestimmt, mit Schwenkkulissen 54 zusammenzuwirken.The two grippers 44, 46 are located, like the Fig. 10a can be removed, in its rest position 48 at the trailing side wall 20, at the upper exposed corner areas. Each of the grippers 44, 46 is arranged on a pivoting lever 50 which extends laterally outside the trailing side wall 20 and below the bottom 18, - or at the bottom - is mounted on one of the sake of clarity not shown support for the compartment 12. The pivot axis 50 'of the pivot lever 50 extends in the longitudinal direction L. Die Pivot levers 50 are designed as two-armed lever, wherein the one lever arm carries at its free end the associated gripper 44, 46 and the other lever arm at its end a freely rotatably mounted control roller 52. The control rollers 52 are intended to cooperate with pivoting scenes 54.

Jeder der beiden Greifer 44, 46 weist einen sichelartig geformten Greiferarm 56 auf, welcher von einer Freigabestellung 58 - in Fig. 10g befinden sich die Greiferarme 56 beider Greifer 44, 46 in Freigabestellung 58 - in eine Haltestellung 58' - wie in Fig. 10d und e gezeigt - und wieder zurück verschwenkbar ist. Das Verschwenken der Greiferarme 56 erfolgt in bekannter Art und Weise Kulissen gesteuert, wobei in Fig. 10 von dieser Kulissensteuerung einzig ein mit dem betreffenden Greiferarm 56 verbundener Steuerhebel 60, und eine an diesem frei drehbar gelagerte Folgerolle 62 gezeigt sind. Die Greiferarme 56 wirken mit einer bezüglich des zugeordneten Schwenkhebels 50 fest angeordneten Greiferbacke 64 zusammen. Diese kann zungenartig ausgebildet sein, sodass sie, bei sich in Ruheposition 48 befindlichen Greifern 44, 46, an der nachlaufenden Seitenwand 20 flächig anliegt. Sie kann jedoch auch andersartig ausgebildet sein und sich in Ruheposition 48 in einem Ausschnitt in den Eckbereichen der nachlaufenden Seitenwand 20 befinden. Es ist auch denkbar, dass die nachlaufende Seitenwand 20 in Längsrichtung L, kürzer als gezeigt ausgebildet ist, sodass die Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 seitlich über die nachlaufende Seitenwand 20, vorstehen und sich die Greifer 44, 46 seitlich neben der nachlaufenden Seitenwand 20 befinden.Each of the two grippers 44, 46 has a sickle-shaped gripper arm 56, which from a release position 58 - Fig. 10g are the gripper arms 56 of both grippers 44, 46 in the release position 58 - in a holding position 58 '- as in Fig. 10d and e shown - and swiveling back again. The pivoting of the gripper arms 56 is controlled in a known manner scenes, in Fig. 10 from this link control only one associated with the respective gripper arm 56 control lever 60, and a freely rotatably mounted on this follower roller 62 are shown. The gripper arms 56 cooperate with a relative to the associated pivot lever 50 fixed gripper jaw 64 together. This may be formed tongue-like, so that it, in the rest position 48 located grippers 44, 46, rests flat against the trailing side wall 20. However, it can also be designed differently and are in rest position 48 in a cutout in the corner regions of the trailing side wall 20. It is also conceivable that the trailing side wall 20 is formed in the longitudinal direction L, shorter than shown, so that the printed products 10, 24 project laterally beyond the trailing side wall 20 and the grippers 44, 46 are laterally adjacent to the trailing side wall 20.

Es versteht sich von selbst, dass beim Beschicken der Abteile 12 mit Druckereiprodukten 10, 24 sich die Greifer 44, 46 in Ruheposition 48 und die Greiferarme 56 sich in Freigabestellung 58 befinden, um kein Hindernis bei dem Einführen der Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 in die Abteile 12 zu bilden.It goes without saying that when loading the Compartments 12 with printed products 10, 24, the grippers 44, 46 in the rest position 48 and the gripper arms 56 are in the release position 58 to form no obstacle in the introduction of the printed products 10, 24 in the compartments 12.

Die Funktionsweise der Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14 mit derartigen Abteilen 12 funktioniert wie folgt. Als erstes wird, wie dies in der Fig. 10a angedeutet ist, der Greiferarm 56 des ersten Greifers 44 in die Haltestellung 58' verbracht. Dabei fasst er im Randabschnitt 26 den Vorfalz 30 des ersten Druckereiprodukts 10. Anschliessend wird mittels der zugeordneten Schwenkkulisse 54, wie in Fig. 10a mit dem Pfeil P angedeutet, der erste Greifer 44 in Richtung zur vorauslaufenden Seitewand 20 verschwenkt, sodass, bei aneinander anliegenden Druckereiprodukten 10, 24, das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 an der vorauslaufenden Seitenwand 20 zur Anlage gelangt, wie dies Fig. 10b zeigt.The operation of the apparatus for producing printed products 14 having such compartments 12 functions as follows. First, as in the Fig. 10a is indicated, the gripper arm 56 of the first gripper 44 spent in the holding position 58 '. He summarizes in the edge portion 26, the prefold 30 of the first printed product 10. Subsequently, by means of the associated pivoting gate 54, as in Fig. 10a indicated by the arrow P, the first gripper 44 is pivoted in the direction of the leading side wall 20, so that when adjacent printed products 10, 24, the second printed product 24 comes to rest on the leading side wall 20, as Fig. 10b shows.

Anschliessend wird, wie in Fig. 10c gezeigt, mittels der zugeordneten Schwenkkulisse 54 der den Vorfalz 30 des ersten Druckereiprodukts 22 haltende erste Greifer 44 in Pfeilrichtung P' in die Ruheposition 48 zurück verschwenkt, wodurch das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 geöffnet wird. Dann wird in Einsteckrichtung E das erste Einsteckprodukt 22 in das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 eingesteckt. Selbstverständlich können in das geöffnete erste Druckereiprodukt 10 mehrere Einsteckprodukte eingesteckt werden.Then, as in Fig. 10c shown, by means of the associated pivoting gate 54 of the prefold 30 of the first printed product 22 holding first gripper 44 in the direction of arrow P 'pivoted back into the rest position 48, whereby the first printed product 10 is opened. Then, in the plug-in direction E, the first plug-in product 22 is inserted into the first printed product 10. Of course, a plurality of plug-in products can be plugged into the opened first printed product 10.

Während der Greiferarm 56 des ersten Greifers 44 in Haltestellung 58' verbleibt, wird - wie dies Fig. 10d zeigt - der zweite Greifer 46 mittels der zugeordneten Kulisse 54 in Richtung des Pfeiles P zur vorauslaufenden Seitenwand 20 verschwenkt und der Greiferarm 56 des zweiten Greifers 46 in die Haltestellung 58' verschwenkt, sodass der Vorfalz 30 des zweiten Druckereiprodukts 24 im über das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 vorstehenden Randabschnitt 26 erfasst wird. Durch das nachfolgende Zurückverschwenken des geschlossenen zweiten Greifers 46 in Pfeilrichtung P' in die Ruheposition 48 mittels der zugeordneten Schwenkkulisse 54 - Fig. 10e - wird das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 geöffnet. In dieses wird nun in Einsteckrichtung E ein zweites Einsteckprodukt 28, oder werden auch mehrere zweite Einsteckprodukte eingesteckt.While the gripper arm 56 of the first gripper 44 remains in the holding position 58 'is - like this Fig. 10d shows - the second gripper 46 by means of the associated Slotted link 54 in the direction of arrow P to the leading side wall 20 and the gripper arm 56 of the second gripper 46 pivoted to the holding position 58 ', so that the prefold 30 of the second printed product 24 in the first printed product 10 protruding edge portion 26 is detected. By the subsequent pivoting back of the closed second gripper 46 in the direction of arrow P 'in the rest position 48 by means of the associated pivoting gate 54 - Fig. 10e - The second printed product 24 is opened. In this direction, a second plug-in product 28 is now inserted in the insertion direction E, or several second plug-in products are inserted.

Nach dem Öffnen des zweiten Greifers 46 durch Verschwenken dessen Greiferarms 56 in die Freigabestellung 58 wird der immer noch geschlossene erste Greifer 44 mittels der zugeordneten Schwenkkulisse 54 in Pfeilrichtung P verschwenkt - Fig. 10f - derart, dass das zu einem Druckereierzeugnis 14 ergänzte zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 geschlossen wird, und gleichzeitig das vorgängig zu einem Druckereierzeugnis 14 ergänzte erste Druckereiprodukt 10 zur Seitenwand 20 verbracht wird. Nachdem Öffnen des ersten Greifers 44 durch Verschwenken des Greiferarms 56 in die Freigabestellung 58 wird der erste Greifer 44 in Pfeilrichtung P' mittel der zugeordneten Steuerkulisse 54 in die Ruheposition 48 bei der nachlaufenden Seitenwand 20 verbracht. Die beiden hergestellten Druckereierzeugnisse 14 liegen nun aneinander anliegend an der vorauslaufenden Seitenwand 20 an; Fig. 10g. Sie können, falls eine weitere Verarbeitung notwendig ist, weiter im Abteil 10 verbleiben oder in ihrer relativ zueinander verschobenen Lage weggefördert oder durch Verschieben in deckungsgleiche Lage verbracht werden.After opening the second gripper 46 by pivoting the Greiferarms 56 in the release position 58 of the still closed first gripper 44 is pivoted by means of the associated pivoting gate 54 in the direction of arrow P - Fig. 10f in such a way that the second printed product 24, which has been supplemented to produce a printed product 14, is closed, and at the same time the first printed product 10 previously added to a printed product 14 is brought to the side wall 20. After opening the first gripper 44 by pivoting the gripper arm 56 in the release position 58, the first gripper 44 is moved in the direction of arrow P 'means of the associated control link 54 in the rest position 48 at the trailing side wall 20. The two produced printed products 14 are now adjacent to each other on the leading side wall 20 at; Fig. 10g , If further processing is necessary, they can continue to remain in the compartment 10 or be conveyed away in their relatively displaced position or moved into congruent position by displacement.

Auch die Fig. 10 lässt sich derart lesen, dass sie einen Abschnitt einer Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14 mit in Förderrichtung F umlaufend angetriebenen, hintereinander angeordneten taschenförmigen Abteilen 12 zeigt, wobei zum gleichen Zeitpunkt dargestellt ist, was in den verschiedenen Abteilen 12 passiert.Also the Fig. 10 can be read such that it shows a portion of an apparatus for producing printed products 14 with circumferentially driven in the conveying direction F, successively arranged pocket-like compartments 12, wherein at the same time is what happens in the various compartments 12.

Bei der in der Fig. 11 ausschnittsweise gezeigten Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Druckereierzeugnissen 14 sind die in Förderrichtung F hintereinander angeordneten, umlaufendend angetriebenen taschenförmigen Abteile 12 sehr ähnlich den, in der Fig. 10 gezeigten und weiter oben beschriebenen Abteilen 12 ausgebildet. Der Boden 18 der Abteile weist, in Förderrichtung F gesehen, eine grössere Ausdehnung auf und die beiden Seitenwände 20 sind ebenfalls v-förmig, jedoch in einem grösseren Öffnungswinkel zueinander, angeordnet. In den beiden seitlichen Endbereichen 42, 42' jedes Abteils 12 ist ein erster Greifer 44 beziehungsweise zweiter Greifer 46 vorhanden, welche gleich ausgebildet und gleich angesteuert sind wie in der Fig. 10 gezeigt.When in the Fig. 11 In detail, apparatus for producing printed products 14 shown in the conveying direction F are arranged one behind the other, circulatingly driven pocket-shaped compartments 12 very similar to those in which Fig. 10 formed and described above compartments 12. The bottom 18 of the compartments has, seen in the conveying direction F, a greater extent and the two side walls 20 are also V-shaped, but at a larger opening angle to each other, arranged. In the two lateral end portions 42, 42 'of each compartment 12, a first gripper 44 and second gripper 46 is present, which are the same design and are driven the same as in the Fig. 10 shown.

Am den zweiten Greifer 46 tragenden Schwenkhebel 50 ist eine Haltezunge 66 angeordnet, welche ebenfalls Kulissen gesteuert aus einer Ruhestellung in eine Aktivstellung und zurück verschwenkbar ist. Wie in Fig. 11a andeutet, werden, nachdem ein Abteil 12 mit einem ersten Druckereiprodukt 10 und einem zweiten Druckereiprodukt 24 bestückt ist, der erste Greifer 44 und der zweite Greifer 46 aus ihrer Ruheposition 48 bei der nachlaufenden Seitenwand 20 in Richtung zur vorauslaufenden Seitenwand 20 verschwenkt, sodass der geöffnete erste Greifer 44 mit seiner Greiferbacke 64 am Vorfalz 30 des ersten Druckereiprodukts 10 im vorstehenden Randabschnitt 26 zur Anlage gelangt. Entsprechendes gilt für den zweiten Greifer 46 und das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24. Durch Verschwenken der beiden Greiferarme 56 in die Haltestellung 58' werden das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 an seinem Vorfalz 30 und das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 an seinem Vorfalz 30 durch den ersten beziehungsweise zweiten Greifer 44, 46 erfasst. Danach wird, wie in Fig. 11a mit dem Pfeil P angedeutet, mittels der entsprechenden Schwenkkulisse 54 der erste Greifer 44 etwa in eine Mittelstellung zwischen den beiden Seitenwänden 20 verschwenkt, wie dies in der Fig. 11b dargestellt ist. Dadurch wird das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 geöffnet. In das geöffnete erste Druckereiprodukt 10 hinein wird nun die Haltezunge 66 verschwenkt, welche den keinen Vorfalz 30 aufweisenden Teil des ersten Druckereiprodukts 10 in Anlage am den Vorfalz 30 aufweisenden Teil des zweiten Druckereiprodukts 24 hält. Wie mit den zwei Pfeilen P' in Fig. 11b angedeutet, werden dann beide Greifer 44, 46 zusammen in Richtung gegen die nachlaufende Seitenwand 20 verschwenkt. Wodurch das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 vollständig und auch das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 geöffnet werden. Dabei wird der erste Greifer 44 bis in seine Ruheposition 48 bei der nachlaufenden Seitenwand 20 verbracht, wogegen der zweite Greifer 46 in einer Mittelstellung zwischen den beiden Seitenwänden 20 angehalten wird, wie dies Fig. 11c zeigt. Nun können gleichzeitig in das erste geöffnete Druckereiprodukt 10 ein erstes Einsteckprodukt 22 und in das geöffnete zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 ein zweites Einsteckprodukt 28 in Einsteckrichtung E eingesteckt werden, wie dies im Zusammenhang mit der Fig. 4 bereits erläutert worden ist.On the second gripper 46 supporting pivot lever 50, a retaining tongue 66 is arranged, which also scenes controlled from a rest position into an active position and back is pivotable. As in Fig. 11a indicates, after a compartment 12 is equipped with a first printed product 10 and a second printed product 24, the first gripper 44 and the second gripper 46 pivoted from its rest position 48 at the trailing side wall 20 toward the leading side wall 20, so that the open first gripper 44 with its gripper jaw 64 on Vorfalz 30 of the first Printed product 10 in the protruding edge portion 26 comes to rest. The same applies to the second gripper 46 and the second printed product 24. By pivoting the two gripper arms 56 into the holding position 58 ', the first printed product 10 at its prefold 30 and the second printed product 24 at its prefold 30 by the first and second gripper 44, 46 recorded. After that, as in Fig. 11a indicated by the arrow P, pivoted by means of the corresponding pivoting gate 54 of the first gripper 44 approximately in a central position between the two side walls 20, as shown in the Fig. 11b is shown. As a result, the first printed product 10 is opened. The holding tongue 66 is then pivoted into the open first printed product 10, which holds the part of the first printed product 10 not having a prefold 30 in contact with the part of the second printed product 24 having the prefold 30. As with the two arrows P 'in Fig. 11b indicated, then both grippers 44, 46 are pivoted together in the direction against the trailing side wall 20. Thus, the first printed product 10 completely and also the second printed product 24 are opened. In this case, the first gripper 44 is moved to its rest position 48 in the trailing side wall 20, whereas the second gripper 46 is stopped in a middle position between the two side walls 20, as Fig. 11c shows. At the same time, a first plug-in product 22 and a second plug-in product 28 in the plug-in direction E can be plugged into the first opened printed product 10 simultaneously with the opened second printed product 24, as described in connection with FIG Fig. 4 has already been explained.

Sowohl die in der Fig. 10 gezeigte Vorrichtung als auch die in der Fig. 11 gezeigte Vorrichtung eignen sich zur Durchführung sämtlicher weiter oben beschriebenen Verfahren. Es sind einzig die Schwenkkulissen 54 entsprechend anzupassen.Both in the Fig. 10 shown device as well the in the Fig. 11 The apparatus shown are suitable for carrying out all the methods described above. It is only the pivoting scenes 54 to adjust accordingly.

Die Greifer 44, 46 können auch, insbesondere wenn die Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 nicht mittig zu öffnen sind, als Saugköpfe ausgebildet sein.The grippers 44, 46 may also be designed as suction heads, in particular if the printed products 10, 24 are not to be opened in the center.

Die Abteile 12 können, falls dies erwünscht ist, auch mit Schiebemitteln versehen sein, um das erste Druckereiprodukt 10 und das zweite Druckereiprodukt 24 relativ zueinander in Längsrichtung L der Abteile 12 zu verschieden, um entweder die deckungsgleich in die Abteile 12 eingeführten Druckereiprodukte 10, 24, zur Bildung vorstehender, freier Randabschnitte 26 zu verschieben, oder, nach der Bildung der Druckereierzeugnisse 14, diese deckungsgleich aufeinander zu zu schieben. Für letzteres ist es auch denkbar, stationäre Schiebekulissen vorzusehen, welche durch entsprechende Schlitze in den Seitenwänden, beim Vorbeibewegen der Abteile 12 in diese eingreifen und dadurch die Druckereierzeugnisse 14 aufeinander zuschieben.The compartments 12 may also be provided with sliding means, if desired, to differentiate the first printed product 10 and the second printed product 24 relative to each other in the longitudinal direction L of the compartments 12, either the printed products 10, 24 introduced congruently into the compartments 12 to move to the formation of protruding, free edge portions 26, or, after the formation of the printed products 14, to push them congruent to each other. For the latter, it is also conceivable to provide stationary sliding gates, which engage through corresponding slots in the side walls, the passage of the compartments 12 in this, thereby pushing the printed products 14 toward each other.

Die in einem Abteil 12 angeordneten Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 werden jedoch nicht gemeinsam in Längsrichtung L der Abteile 12 von einem Abteil in ein daran anschliessendes anderes Abteil gefördert.However, arranged in a compartment 12 printed products 10, 24 are not promoted together in the longitudinal direction L of the compartments 12 of a compartment in a subsequent other compartment.

Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren und die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung erlauben es, mit grosser Verarbeitungskapazität, gleiche oder unterschiedliche Druckereierzeugnisse 14 herzustellen. Für die Herstellung gleicher Druckereierzeugnisse 14 sind die ersten und zweiten Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 gleich und die ersten und zweiten Einsteckprodukte 22, 24 gleich. Sind die ersten und zweiten Druckereiprodukte 10, 24 und/oder die ersten und zweiten Einsteckprodukte 22, 28 ungleich, werden unterschiedliche Druckereierzeugnisse 14 hergestellt.The method according to the invention and the device according to the invention make it possible to produce identical or different printed products 14 with a large processing capacity. For the production of the same printed products 14, the first and second printed products 10, 24 are the same and the first and second plug-in products 22, 24 equal. If the first and second printed products 10, 24 and / or the first and second insert products 22, 28 are unequal, different printed products 14 are produced.
