Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum automatischen Beschicken eines Buchdeckenmagazins einer Buchfertigungsstraße, gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bzw. gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 12 sowie eine Buchfertigungsstraße mit einer solchen Vorrichtung.The invention relates to a device and a method for automatically loading a book cover magazine of a book production line, according to the preamble of claim 1 and according to the preamble of claim 12 and a book production line with such a device.

Aus DE19756374 B4 , DE20202513 U1 , DE3614216 A1 und CH693361 A sind Buchdeckenanleger bekannt, die nach dem Nonstop-Prinzip arbeiten. Charakteristisch für diese Buchdeckenanleger ist eine Zuführeinrichtung sowie ein Buchdeckenmagazin mit definierter Kapazität bzw. Stapelhöhe, in dem die Buchdecken für den Vereinzelungsprozess vorausgerichtet werden. Die jeweils unterste Buchdecke wird im Buchdeckenmagazin durch verschiedene Vereinzelungsorgane vom Stapel getrennt und einer Einhängemaschine der Buchfertigungsstraße zugeführt, in der die Vereinigung der Buchdecke mit einem zugehörigen Buchblock stattfindet.Out DE19756374 B4 . DE20202513 U1 . DE3614216 A1 and CH693361 A book cover investors are known who work on the nonstop principle. Characteristic of this book cover feeder is a feeder and a book cover magazine with a defined capacity or stacking height, in which the book covers are preceded for the singulation process. The bottom book cover is separated in the book cover magazine by various separating organs from the stack and fed to a Einhängemaschine the book production line, in which takes place the unification of the book cover with an associated book block.

Das Buchdeckenmagazin wird üblicherweise zunächst von Hand bzw. im Nonstop-Betrieb aus einem auf einer Zuführeinrichtung aufliegenden Schuppenstrom heraus derart befüllt, dass sich ein Stapel übereinander liegender Buchdecken ausbildet. Der Vorschub der Zuführeinrichtung wird über die Stapelhöhe des im Buchdeckenmagazin befindlichen Stapels der Buchdecken derart gesteuert, dass sich die dem Buchdeckenmagazin zugeführten Buchdecken immer nahezu horizontal über den Stapel schieben und diesen weiter auffüllen. Die gestapelten Buchdecken durchlaufen dabei das Buchdeckenmagazin von oben nach unten bis zu ihrer Vereinzelung annähernd vertikal, während darüber weitere Buchdecken auf den Stapel gelegt werden. Die Stapelhöhe im Buchdeckenmagazin sollte dabei immer annähernd der Abgabehöhe der Zuführeinrichtung entsprechen, um ein Abkippen nachfolgender Buchdecken in das Buchdeckenmagazin zu verhindern. Bei einer geringen Stapelhöhe ist die Fallhöhe der Buchdecken relativ gross, sodass es vor allem bei Buchdecken mit kleinen Formaten zu deren Aufstellen auf dem Magazinboden und damit zu einer Blockade des Buchdeckenmagazins kommen kann.The book cover magazine is usually first filled by hand or in nonstop operation from a resting on a feeder scale flow out such that forms a stack of superimposed book covers. The feed of the feeder is controlled by the stack height of the book cover magazine located in the stack of book covers such that the book cover magazine supplied book covers always almost horizontally slide over the stack and fill it further. The stacked book covers go through the book cover magazine from top to bottom to their isolation approximately vertically, while more book covers are placed on the stack. The stack height in the book cover magazine should always correspond approximately to the delivery height of the feeder to prevent tipping subsequent book covers in the book cover magazine. At a low stack height, the drop height of the book covers is relatively large, so it can come especially for book covers with small formats to their placement on the magazine floor and thus to a blockage of the book cover magazine.

Die EP2386507A1 betrifft eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Zuführen von Buchdecken zu einer Buchfertigungsstrasse, wobei kleinere Lose von Buchdecken in einer vorbestimmten Reihenfolge gleichzeitig auf der Zuführeinrichtung abgelegt und im Schuppenstrom dem Buchdeckenmagazin automatisch zugeführt werden können. Kommt es beispielsweise aufgrund der Verarbeitung eines neuen Auftrags zu einem Formatwechsel muss das Buchdeckenmagazin bei diesem Verfahren vollständig geleert werden, damit eine Formatverstellung behinderungsfrei ausgeführt werden kann. Ist die Formatverstellung beendet können die das neue Format aufweisenden Buchdecken dem Buchdeckenmagazin über die Zuführeinrichtung zugeführt werden. Gerade bei Formatwechseln ist die Fallhöhe jedoch oft zu hoch, da noch keine Buchdecken im Buchdeckenmagazin liegen. Die in das leere Buchdeckenmagazin fallenden Buchdecken können daher in das Buchdeckenmagazin abkippen und ein exaktes Befüllen behindern. Ebenso kann es passieren, dass sich die Vorderkante der untersten Buchdecke am Magazinboden oder an verschiedenen Vereinzelungsorganen verhakt. Oft verhindert auftretende Reibung zwischen Vereinzelungsriemen und der Vorderkante der untersten Buchdecke ein Befüllen des Buchdeckenmagazins.The EP2386507A1 relates to an apparatus and a method for feeding book covers to a book production line, wherein smaller lots of book covers can be placed in a predetermined order simultaneously on the feeder and fed automatically to the book cover magazine in the shingled stream. If, for example, due to the processing of a new job, the book cover magazine has to be completely emptied during this procedure, so that a format adjustment can be carried out without hindrance. When the format adjustment is completed, the book covers having the new format can be fed to the book cover magazine via the feeder. Especially with format changes, however, the drop height is often too high, since no book covers are still in the book cover magazine. The book covers falling into the empty book cover magazine can therefore tip into the book cover magazine and hinder an exact filling. It can also happen that the leading edge of the bottom book cover hooked on the magazine floor or on different separation organs. Frequently occurring friction between singling belt and the front edge of the bottom book cover prevents filling of the book cover magazine.

In der EP1219552A1 ist eine Beschickungsvorrichtung eines Bogenanlegers offenbart. Mittels eines Förderbands werden einem, über dem Bogenanleger angeordneten, vertikalen Schacht Druckbogen zugeführt. Mit einer rückziehbaren, horizontalen Ebene, welche in dem vertikalen Schacht zwischen dem Ende des Förderbands und dem Bogenanleger angeordnet ist, wird die Fallhöhe der zugeführten Druckbogen reduziert. Ein auf der rückziehbaren Ebene aus Druckbogen gebildeter Stapel, gelangt nach dem seitlichen zurückziehen der Ebene aus dem Schacht in geordneter Weise zum Bogenanleger.In the EP1219552A1 a feeder of a sheet feeder is disclosed. By means of a conveyor belt to a, arranged on the sheet feeder, vertical slot sheet fed. With a retractable horizontal plane, which is located in the vertical shaft between the end of the conveyor belt and the sheet feeder, the drop height of the fed sheet is reduced. A formed on the retractable plane of sheet stack, passes to the lateral retraction of the plane of the shaft in an orderly manner to the sheet feeder.

Es ergibt sich die Aufgabe, eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum automatischen Beschicken eines Buchdeckenmagazins einer Buchfertigungsstraße bereitzustellen, welche auch bei Kleinauflagen mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Formaten von Buchdecken ein Abkippen von Buchdecken in das Buchdeckenmagazin verhindern.The object is to provide a device and a method for automatically loading a book cover magazine of a book production line, which prevent tilting of book covers in the book cover magazine even for short runs, each with different formats of book covers.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum automatischen Beschicken eines Buchdeckenmagazins einer Buchfertigungsstraße gemäss den Merkmalen des jeweiligen kennzeichnenden Teils der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen bzw. weitere vorteilhafte Verfahrensschritte sind in den jeweiligen Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by an apparatus and a method for automatically loading a book cover magazine of a book production line according to the features of the respective characterizing part of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments or further advantageous method steps are specified in the respective subclaims.

Es ist ein eine weitere im Wesentlichen horizontale Ebene bildendes Abnahmeelement in einem Bereich zwischen der Zuführeinrichtung und dem Magazinboden in das Buchdeckenmagazin einführbar ausgebildet und wird in das Buchdeckenmagazin eingeführt. Dies erweist sich insbesondere bei der Verarbeitung von Sonderbuchdecken, d.h. bei Buchdecken mit sehr kleinen Formaten, bei leichten Buchdecken, bei scharfkantigen Buchdecken, bei Buchdecken mit geringer Steifigkeit oder bei Buchdecken aus Kunststoff als vorteilhaft.It is a further substantially horizontal plane forming acceptance element in an area between the feeder and the magazine bottom inserted into the book cover magazine and is inserted into the book cover magazine. This proves particularly in the processing of special book covers, i. for book covers with very small formats, for light book covers, for sharp-edged book covers, for book covers with low rigidity or for book covers made of plastic as advantageous.

Dabei wird das Abnahmeelement vorteilhaft vor dem Zuführen von Buchdecken zum Buchdeckenmagazin in das Buchdeckenmagazin eingeführt und nach dem Zuführen zumindest einer Buchdecke wieder aus dem Buchdeckenmagazin entfernt. Sowohl das Einführen als auch das Entfernen des Abnahmeelements erfolgt im Wesentlichen vertikal oder im Wesentlichen horizontal.In this case, the acceptance element is advantageously introduced before feeding book covers for book cover magazine in the book cover magazine and removed after feeding at least one book cover back from the book cover magazine. Both the insertion and the removal of the removal element takes place substantially vertically or substantially horizontally.

Ein Abkippen der zugeführten Buchdecken in das leere Buchdeckenmagazin wird durch die verringerte Fallhöhe bis zum Abnahmeelement effektiv verhindert. Die Vorderkante der untersten Buchdecke eines neuen Stapels kann ohne Behinderung bei geringer Reibung auf dem Abnahmeelement bis an eine stromabwärtige Magazinbegrenzung gleiten und exakt geführt im Buchdeckenmagazin abgelegt werden. Sind genügend Buchdecken eingelaufen, kann das Abnahmeelement wieder abgesenkt oder anderweitig aus dem Buchdeckenmagazin entnommen und der Stapel vollständig aufgefüllt werden. Die im Stapel jeweils oben liegende Buchdecke übernimmt dann die Funktion des Abnahmeelements.A tilting of the supplied book covers in the empty book cover magazine is effectively prevented by the reduced drop height to the pickup element. The leading edge of the bottom book cover of a new stack can slide without hindrance with low friction on the acceptance element to a downstream magazine boundary and stored exactly guided in the book cover magazine. If enough book covers have run in, the acceptance element can be lowered again or otherwise removed from the book cover magazine and the stack can be completely filled up. The stack of books in each case at the top then assumes the function of the acceptance element.

Erfindungsgemäss ist das Abnahmeelement bei mit Buchdecken befülltem Buchdeckenmagazin zumindest auf gleicher Höhe mit dem Magazinboden oder unterhalb des Magazinbodens angeordnet.According to the invention, when the book cover magazine is filled with book covers, the acceptance element is arranged at least at the same height as the magazine bottom or below the magazine bottom.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung weist der Magazinboden zumindest eine Ausnehmung auf, in der ein im Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtetes Abnahmeelement im Wesentlichen parallel zur Ebene des Magazinbodens vertikal verstellbar angeordnet ist.According to an advantageous embodiment of the device, the magazine bottom has at least one recess, in which a substantially horizontally oriented acceptance element is arranged vertically adjustable parallel to the plane of the magazine bottom substantially.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das Abnahmeelement von oben und quer zur Transportrichtung gesehen mittig im Buchdeckenmagazin angeordnet.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the acceptance element is arranged centrally in the book cover magazine viewed from above and transversely to the transport direction.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das Abnahmeelement als ein im Magazinboden angebrachtes und zumindest annähernd parallel zu diesem angeordnetes Gleitblech ausgebildet.In an advantageous embodiment, the acceptance element is designed as a sliding plate mounted in the magazine bottom and arranged at least approximately parallel thereto.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das Abnahmeelement im Buchdeckenmagazin mittels einer Hubeinrichtung auf ein vorbestimmtes Niveau anhebbar. Bei einem Formatwechsel wird das Buchdeckenmagazin zunächst entleert und dann das Abnahmeelement mittels einer Hubeinrichtung, beispielsweise ein Hubmagnet, Elektromotor oder Pneumatikzylinder, auf das vorbestimmte Niveau angehoben, bei der ein Abkippen sowie ein Aufstellen der Buchdecken ausgeschlossen ist.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the acceptance element in the book cover magazine can be raised to a predetermined level by means of a lifting device. In a format change the book cover magazine is first emptied and then the acceptance element by means of a lifting device, such as a solenoid, electric motor or pneumatic cylinder, raised to the predetermined level, is excluded in a tipping and setting up the book covers.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das Abnahmeelement steckbar an der Hubeinrichtung befestigt. Das Abnahmeelement kann demnach auch nur als Zusatzteil ausgeführt sein.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the acceptance element is pluggable attached to the lifting device. The acceptance element can therefore be designed only as an additional part.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist ein Antrieb des Abnahmeelements intermittierend ansteuerbar, um eine Art Rüttelbewegung zu erzeugen. Alternativ ist das Abnahmeelement mit einem Vibrationselement verbunden. Das Vibrationselement ist in der Arbeitsstellung des Abnahmeelements aktiv und in der abgesenkten Ruhestellung des Abnahmeelements inaktiv, d.h. das Abnahmeelement wird in seinem in das Buchdeckenmagazin eingeführten Zustand vibriert, wodurch zumindest die erste in das Buchdeckenmagazin eingeführte Buchdecke eines neuen Auftrags ebenfalls vibriert. Dies erleichtert das Gleiten besonders kleiner, leichter Buchdecken im Buchdeckenmagazin bzw. auf dem Magazinboden erheblich.According to a further advantageous embodiment, a drive of the decrease element can be controlled intermittently in order to generate a kind of shaking movement. Alternatively, the decrease element is connected to a vibration element. The vibrating element is active in the working position of the pickup element and inactive in the lowered rest position of the pickup element, ie the pickup element is vibrated in its inserted into the book cover magazine state, whereby at least the first introduced into the book cover book cover a new order also vibrates. This considerably facilitates the gliding of particularly small, lighter book covers in the book cover magazine or on the magazine floor.

Die Vorrichtung findet bevorzugt Verwendung in einer Buchfertigungsstraße.The device is preferably used in a book production line.

The device 1 has an upstream of the book cover magazine 2 arranged feeder 4 and arranged only temporarily in the book cover magazine 2 acceptance element 5 (Fig. FIGS. 2 to 4 ) and is suitable for short runs with different formats of book covers 3. In FIG. 1 are two on the feeder 4 located stack 6, 6 'with shingled, ie partially superimposed book covers 3 each different format shown. In addition, a stack 6 "formed in the book cover magazine 2 can be seen with completely arranged book covers 3, which have a different format from the book covers 3 of the stacks 6, 6. The book covers 3 can be conveyed through the device 1 in a transport direction 7.

Die Zuführeinrichtung 4 weist einen Tisch 8 sowie ein um eine stromabwärtige Umlenkrolle 9 und um eine nicht dargestellte stromaufwärtige Umlenkrolle umlaufendes und auf dem Tisch 8 aufliegendes Förderband 10 auf (Figur 2). Seitlich des Förderbandes 10 sind zwei Seitenführungen 11, 11' in Transportrichtung 7 hintereinander angeordnet. Die Seitenführungen 11, 11' sind quer zur Transportrichtung 7 verschiebbar ausgebildet, sodass Buchdecken 3 mit verschiedenen Formaten auf der Zuführeinrichtung 4 zum Buchdeckenmagazin 2 gefördert werden können. Zur weiteren Anordnung und Ausbildung der Zuführeinrichtung 4 sowie zur Verstellung der Seitenführungen 11, 11' wird auf die EP2386507A1 verwiesen.The feed device 4 has a table 8 and a conveyor belt 10 revolving around a downstream deflection roller 9 and about an upstream deflection roller (not shown) and resting on the table 8 (FIG. FIG. 2 ). Laterally of the conveyor belt 10, two side guides 11, 11 'in the transport direction 7 are arranged one behind the other. The side guides 11, 11 'are designed to be displaceable transversely to the transport direction 7, so that book covers 3 with different formats can be conveyed on the feed device 4 to the book cover magazine 2. For further arrangement and design of the feed device 4 and for adjusting the side guides 11, 11 'is on the EP2386507A1 directed.

Die Zuführeinrichtung 4 und das Buchdeckenmagazin 2 sind in Transportrichtung 7 gesehen hintereinander angeordnet. Das Buchdeckenmagazin 2 weist einen Magazinboden 12, eine in Transportrichtung 7 stromaufwärtige sowie eine stromabwärtige Magazinbegrenzung 13, 13', seitliche Führungselemente 14, 14' und eine in Figur 1 durch die den Stapel 6" bildenden Buchdecken 3 verdeckte, jedoch in den Figuren 2 bis 4 dargestellte Vereinzelungseinrichtung 15 auf. Die Vereinzelungseinrichtung 15 besitzt zwei voneinander beabstandete, parallel zueinander angeordnete, um zwei Umlenkrollen 16, 16' umlaufende Transportbänder 17, 17' (Figur 4), welche im Bereich des Buchdeckenmagazins 2 den Magazinboden 12 bilden, sich jedoch stromauf bis in den Bereich unterhalb der Zuführeinrichtung 4 erstrecken (Figuren 2, 3). Zumindest eine der Umlenkrollen 16, 16' ist mit einem nicht dargestellten Antrieb verbunden. Die Vereinzelungseinrichtung 15 gewährleistet eine Entnahme der jeweils untersten Buchdecke 3 aus dem Stapel 6".The feeder 4 and the book cover magazine 2 are arranged one behind the other in the transporting direction 7. The book cover magazine 2 has a magazine bottom 12, an upstream in the transport direction 7 and a downstream magazine boundary 13, 13 ', lateral guide elements 14, 14' and an in FIG. 1 covered by the stack 6 "forming book covers 3, but in the FIGS. 2 to 4 illustrated singulation device 15. The separating device 15 has two spaced apart, mutually parallel, around two pulleys 16, 16 'rotating conveyor belts 17, 17' ( FIG. 4 ), which form the magazine bottom 12 in the area of the book cover magazine 2, but extend upstream into the region below the feed device 4 ( Figures 2 . 3 ). At least one of the deflection rollers 16, 16 'is connected to a drive, not shown. The separating device 15 ensures removal of the respective bottom book cover 3 from the stack 6 ".

Das Buchdeckenmagazin 2 weist einen dieses nach unten begrenzenden, eine im Wesentlichen horizontale, vorzugweise jedoch in Transportrichtung 7 leicht ansteigende Ebene ausbildenden Magazinboden 12 auf, sodass die in das Buchdeckenmagazin 2 geförderten Buchdecken 3 auf dem Magazinboden 12 stapelbar sind und dabei vorteilhaft an der stromaufwärtigen Magazinbegrenzung 13 definiert anliegen. Die stromaufwärtige Magazinbegrenzung 13 ist mittels eines Halteelements 19 an der Zuführeinrichtung 4 befestigt, wobei das Halteelement 19 Führungsstangen 20 zur seitlichen Verstellung der hinteren Führungselemente 14 aufnimmt.The book cover magazine 2 has a magazine bottom 12 which delimits this downward, forming a substantially horizontal, but preferably slightly rising plane in the transport direction 7, so that the book covers 3 conveyed into the book cover magazine 2 can be stacked on the magazine bottom 12 and advantageously at the upstream magazine boundary 13 defined concerns. The upstream magazine boundary 13 is fastened to the feed device 4 by means of a holding element 19, the holding element 19 receiving guide rods 20 for the lateral adjustment of the rear guide elements 14.

Zwischen der stromabwärtigen Magazinbegrenzung 13' und der Vereinzelungseinrichtung 15 ist ein Spalt 21 ausgebildet, durch den jeweils eine aus dem Stapel 6" vereinzelte Buchdecke 3, das Buchdeckenmagazin 2 in Transportrichtung 7 verlässt.Between the downstream magazine boundary 13 'and the separating device 15, a gap 21 is formed, through each of which a book cover 3 separated from the stack 6 "leaves the book cover magazine 2 in the transport direction 7.

Gemäss der Figuren 2 bis 4 ist das Abnahmeelement 5 in das Buchdeckenmagazin 2, d.h. in den Bereich zwischen der Zuführeinrichtung 4 und dem Magazinboden 12 einführbar ausgebildet, wodurch eine weitere im Wesentlichen horizontale Ebene zur Aufnahme der in das Buchdeckenmagazin 2 eingeführten Buchdecken 3 entsteht. Im Ausführungsbeispiel (Figuren 2 bis 4) ist das Abnahmeelement 5 als ein Gleitblech ausgeführt.According to the FIGS. 2 to 4 is the acceptance element 5 in the book cover magazine 2, that is formed in the region between the feed device 4 and the magazine bottom 12 insertable, whereby a further substantially horizontal plane for receiving the imported into the book cover magazine 2 covers 3 is formed. In the embodiment ( FIGS. 2 to 4 ), the acceptance element 5 is designed as a sliding plate.

Entsprechend Figur 2 befindet sich das Abnahmeelement 5 zwischen den beiden Magazinbegrenzungen 13, 13' in einer Ruhestellung und ist dabei im Magazinboden 12 versenkt. Bis zur Ebene des Magazinbodens 12 ist für eine in das Buchdeckenmagazin 2 eingeführte Buchdecke 3 eine relativ grosse Fallhöhe 22 zurückzulegen, wobei es zum dargestellten Aufstellen der Buchdecke 3 und damit letztlich zu einer Blockade des Buchdeckenmagazins 2 kommen kann. Besonders vorteilhaft ist das Abnahmeelement 5 daher als ein Gleitblech ausgeführt, sodass die Buchdecke 3 nicht in der in Figur 2 dargestellten Position verharrt, sondern entlang des Gleitblechs gegen die stromabwärtige Magazinbegrenzung 13' gleitet. Dazu kann das Abnahmeelement 5 mit einer entsprechenden, beispielsweise aus einem Kunststoff gebildeten Gleitschicht versehen sein. Das Gleiten der Buchdecke 3 wird durch ein mit einer Hubeinrichtung 23 oder dem Abnahmeelement 5 verbundenes Vibrationselement 24 unterstützt. Schliesslich ist das Abnahmeelement 5 über die Hubeinrichtung 23 mit einem Antrieb 25 verbunden.Corresponding FIG. 2 is the decrease element 5 between the two magazine limits 13, 13 'in a rest position and is sunk in the magazine bottom 12. Up to the level of the magazine bottom 12, a relatively large drop height 22 must be covered for a book cover 3 introduced into the book cover magazine 2, whereby it can come to the illustrated setting up of the book cover 3 and thus ultimately to a blockage of the book cover magazine 2. Particularly advantageously, the acceptance element 5 is therefore designed as a sliding plate, so that the book cover 3 is not in the in FIG. 2 shown position, but along the sliding plate against the downstream magazine boundary 13 'slides. For this purpose, the acceptance element 5 may be provided with a corresponding sliding layer formed, for example, from a plastic. The sliding of the book cover 3 is supported by a vibrating element 24 connected to a lifting device 23 or the take-off element 5. Finally, the acceptance element 5 is connected via the lifting device 23 with a drive 25.

Figur 3 zeigt das Abnahmeelement 5 in einer angehobenen Arbeitsstellung, wodurch eine reduzierte Fallhöhe 22' erreicht und das zuvor beschriebene Aufstellen der jeweiligen Buchdecke 3 vermieden wird. FIG. 3 shows the acceptance element 5 in a raised working position, whereby a reduced drop height 22 'achieved and the above-described setting up the book cover 3 is avoided.

In Figur 4 ist quer zur Transportrichtung 7 gesehen eine mittige Anordnung des Abnahmeelements 5 im Buchdeckenmagazin 2 und eine die vertikale Verstellbarkeit des Abnahmeelements 5 erlaubende, entsprechend ausgebildete Ausnehmung 26 im Magazinboden 12 erkennbar. Natürlich kann statt der Ausnehmung 26 auch ein an entsprechender Stelle geteilter Magazinboden verwendet werden.In FIG. 4 is transverse to the transport direction 7 seen a central arrangement of the acceptance element 5 in the book cover magazine 2 and a vertical adjustability the acceptance element 5 permitting, correspondingly formed recess 26 in the magazine bottom 12 recognizable. Of course, instead of the recess 26, a magazine floor divided into an appropriate location can also be used.

Vorteilhaft wird das Abnahmeelement 5 bereits vor dem Zuführen von ein gegenüber dem vorherigen Auftrag abweichendes Format aufweisenden Buchdecken 3 eines neuen Auftrags zum Buchdeckenmagazin 2 in dieses eingeführt und nach dem Zuführen zumindest einer Buchdecke 3 wieder aus dem Buchdeckenmagazin 2 entfernt. Sowohl das Einführen als auch das Entfernen des Abnahmeelements 5 erfolgt im Wesentlichen vertikal oder im Wesentlichen horizontal. Zur Erzeugung einer Rüttelbewegung des Abnahmeelements 5 ist der jeweilige Antrieb 25 intermittierend ansteuerbar ausgebildet.Advantageously, the take-off element 5 is introduced into the book cover magazine 2 prior to feeding book cover 3 of a new order having a format deviating from the previous order, and is removed again from the book cover magazine 2 after feeding at least one book cover 3. Both the insertion and the removal of the removal element 5 are substantially vertical or substantially horizontal. To generate a shaking movement of the acceptance element 5, the respective drive 25 is designed to be intermittently activatable.
