- the device is used in particular for the separation of individual printed products from the underside of a printed products product stack and for conveying away the printed products.
- the WO 2008/000099 describes a device for separating individual flat, bendable printed products from the underside of a printed product pile and the conveying away of the printed products.
- the device includes a stacking space with a support area in which the stack is supported against the bottom.
- the apparatus further comprises a roller carpet having a plurality of rollers freely rotatable about its longitudinal axis, which are moved along an orbit below the support area and thereby support the printed product stack against the bottom.
- the rollers are fastened to a rotatable roller wheel or coupled thereto.
- the device contains circumferential separating and holding means in the form of pairs cooperating suction elements and grippers for separating the objects from the bottom of the stack. The roles are in the Supporting area rectified with the separating and holding means under the stack moves over.
- the device also comprises a removal device for conveying away the separated objects.
- the removal of individual printed products is done by a vacuum circulating in the support area suction sucks from the bottom of the lowest printed product and this pulls down by its circulation movement. When removing the printed product this is introduced with the leading edge in the gripper mouth of a taktsynchron in the support area rotating gripper. The gripper grips the printed product with a closing movement. In the same process step, a subsequent support roller moves between the bottom of the stack and the detached printed product and peels it during its movement through the support area from the stack.
- the circulating, closed gripper conveys the peeled printed product further down to a removal device and transfers it to the removal device.
- the withdrawn printed product is partially conveyed in this process in the interior of the roll carpet and in this position a little way in sync with the roll carpet before it is deposited on the conveyor belt of the removal device.

- the rollers of the roller carpet are coupled to at least one roller wheel.
- the coupling is designed in accordance with this embodiment such that the rollers are pivotable with their longitudinal axis relative to the roller wheel.
- the removal of individual printed products is done by a vacuum circulating in the support area suction sucks from the bottom of the lowest printed product and this pulls down by its circulation movement. When removing the printed product this is introduced with the leading edge in the gripper mouth of a taktsynchron in the support area rotating gripper. The gripper grips the printed product with a closing movement.
- the rollers are in turn pivoted by a control in a release area of the orbit. As a result, an opening in the roll carpet is generated in the release area through which the removal device is guided.
- the printed product which is completely conveyed by the grippers into the interior region of the roll carpet, is now guided out of the inner region through the opening in the roll carpet, outside the sphere of influence of the rolls, and transferred to the removal belt of the removal device.

- the Unterstell nerve is preferably arranged laterally from the support area.
- the sub-setting device is preferably designed and arranged such that the sub-adjusting means can be retracted toward the supporting area towards the direction of movement of the rollers in the direction of the supporting area and driven out of the supporting area counter to this direction of movement.
- the Unterstellstoff is preferably a sheet-like Unterstellelement.
- the sub-control means may extend partially or completely over the support area in the holding position.
- the support area is expediently defined by the bearing surface of the objects.
- the Unterstellstoff exerts in addition to the roles of an additional supporting function on the stack. It can therefore also be considered as another proppant.
- the sub-adjusting means extends in the holding position along the direction of movement, in particular viewed in the direction of rotation of the rollers, preferably over at least two rollers. That is, the Unterstellsch forms a support surface at least over a lying between two rollers free gap. This prevents sagging of the articles of the stack between the two rollers.

- an actuating means in particular pneumatic means for retracting the sub-adjusting means in the direction of the support area.
- the actuating means should preferably also be designed to extend the sub-control means out of the support area. Extending is the removal of the sub-control means from the support area meant.
- the extension may, for example, be a withdrawal.
- the actuating means for retracting and extending the sub-control means may also comprise hydraulic or electrical means.
- the retraction and extension of the lower setting element also take place at a comparatively high speed. For example, up to 15 items per second can be deducted from the stack. At these speeds, the retraction of the lower adjustment element in the direction of the support area is more like a shoot-in in the direction of the support area. The more important here is the isochronous movement of the sub-control element for the separation process of the objects.
- the actuating means is expediently controlled by a control device.
- the control device may be a central control device which also controls the operation of the device.
- the actuating means is preferably clock-synchronized with the operation of the device.

- the release and holding means preferably comprise at least one suction element and at least one gripper. Suction element and gripper cooperate in pairs.
- the object is removed, it is inserted with the leading edge into the gripper jaw of a gripper rotating clockwise in the support area.
- the gripper grips the object with a closing movement.
- a subsequent support roll moves between the bottom of the stack and the detached object and peels it off while moving through the support area from the stack.
- the circulating, closed gripper conveys the peeled object further down to a removal device and transfers this to the removal device.
- the withdrawn object is in this process partially or completely conveyed in the interior of the roller assembly and in this position a little way in sync with the roller carpet before it is then passed to a removal device.
- the rollers are coupled to the roller wheel so that they are pivotable with their longitudinal axes in each case with respect to the roller wheel.
- the rollers are in this case pivotable in a release area along the orbit by a control. That is, the roller assembly is swung open in the release area. In this case, the removal device is guided by the pivoted-up roller assembly.
- the detachment and holding means move the articles in the support area completely through the moving roller arrangement into an inner region of the roller arrangement.

- the latter has two roller wheels lying opposite one another with roller sets facing one another, preferably symmetrical to each other.
- the axes of the two roller wheels are preferably coaxial, but may also be inclined, for example, towards the interior of the device. In certain applications, however, only a single roller wheel can be appropriate.
- the at least one roller wheel and the carrier wheel of the suction and gripper parallel axes of rotation, whereby a simple construction is possible.
- the carrier wheel and the at least one roller wheel are driven in rotation at the same angular speeds, preferably coupled together by the same drive and by a transmission.

- the withdrawn objects can be designed individually or as a scale flow on the conveyor belt of a removal device and conveyed away.
- a sub-setting means is now (previously) positioned in the support region between the stack and the roller arrangement.
- the inventive solution allows with little effort and technical means to eliminate the problem of Walkens on the bottom of the stack.
- the lower setting element inserted into the support area prevents the objects from bulging between the rollers of the roller arrangement and thus a walking within the stack.
- the inventive solution also protects the objects to be processed. This is achieved by the Unterstellstoff is not retracted by the actuating means directly between rollers and stack. Rather, the Unterstellstoff is retracted below the support area and outside the contact area with the stack between the rollers and by coming from below Rollers are taken towards the support area and positioned below the stack.
- the inventive solution also has the advantage that existing devices such as z. B. in the WO 2008/000099 A1 and in the EP 2 128 055 A2 are disclosed, can be retrofitted with the inventive adjusting device.
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the inventive device 1 for separating individual flat, bendable objects 2 from a stack 30 of these objects 2 and for conveying away the separated objects 2.
- Die FIG. 1 corresponds to a side view with a viewing angle parallel to the axis of rotation A of a carrier 3 and roller wheel. 7
- the device 1 has a stacking space 31, in the flat, at least parallel to the axis of rotation A bendable objects 2, in particular printed products, resting on a still to be described roller assembly in the form of a roll carpet are stacked. In the area where the stack 30 rests the roll carpet, a support region 14 is formed accordingly.
- a rotating carrier wheel 3 is arranged with suction elements 4 and grippers 5 coupled thereto, which are associated with each other in pairs, such that the axis of rotation A is oriented substantially horizontally and parallel to an edge of the stacked objects 2, and that the Suction elements 4 and gripper 5 are moved approximately centrally under the stack 30 over.
- the objects 2 wegamidende removal conveyor 6 is arranged below the carrier wheel 3.
- roller wheel 7 Coaxial with the carrier wheel 3 and axially spaced therefrom is a roller wheel 7, at the periphery of which levers 8 are coupled at regular angular intervals.
- the levers 8 each have an inner leg 8.1 and an outer leg 8.2.
- the two legs 8.1 and 8.2 are articulated via a joint 8.3 and thereby parallel to the plane of rotation of the roller wheel 7 against each other pivotally connected to each other.
- the inner leg 8.1 is pivotally connected to the periphery of the roller wheel 7 parallel to the rotation plane.
- roller 9 In the distal end of the outer leg 8.2 the aligned perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the roller wheel 7 roller 9 is freely rotatably mounted.
- the rollers 9 or the distal ends of the outer legs 8.2 are guided in a roller guide 10 (indicated by dashed and dotted lines), the roller guide 10 defining the orbit 11 of the rollers 9.
- roller wheel 7, levers 8, rollers 9 and roller guide 10 goes out of the FIG. 2 better.
- the carrier wheel 3 and the roller wheel 7 are driven in rotation at the same angular velocities, in the present illustration in a clockwise direction (direction of rotation R).
- the suction elements 4 are approximately in the 12 o'clock position to the pivoted detecting edge portions of the stacked objects 2 and the objects 2 are released approximately at the 6 o'clock position by the grippers 5.
- the carrier wheel 3 and the roller wheel 7 are advantageously driven by a same drive 19 via a common shaft 12. It is possible, as shown, to drive the conveyor belt 13 of the removal device 6 from the same drive 19 from.
- the device 1 according to FIG. 1 has ten sucker / gripper pairs 4/5 and ten rollers 9, such that each sucker / gripper pair 4/5 a roller 9 is assigned.
- the roller 9 associated with a nipple / gripper pair 4/5 is moved in the support area 14 downstream of the nipple 4 between the object covered by the nipple 4 and the next object lying thereon.
- the roller 9 remains, as long as the object 2 is held by suction element 4 or gripper 5, positioned between these two objects 2.
- each sucker / gripper pair 4/5 can also be assigned more than one roller 9.
- the suction elements 4 are pivoted during their circulation in a conventional manner by means of corresponding control means relative to a spoke 15 on which they are mounted. Before the 12 o'clock position, they are swung forwards relative to the direction of rotation R. Approximately in the 12 o'clock position (takeover area), they are pivoted for gripping the object 2 between successive rollers 9 in an approximately radial position and then pivoted back for relative to the conveying direction for turning the detected edge area against the open mouth of the trailing gripper 5 , As long as the grippers 5 hold an object, the suckers 4 remain in the backward pivoted position, but after the 6 o'clock position (discharge area) again pivoted to the forward tilted position to be ready for takeover again in the takeover area.
- the grippers 5 are closed during their rotation by means of corresponding control means (not shown) immediately after the 12 o'clock position (takeover area) and opened again approximately at the 6 o'clock position (delivery area).
- the defined by the roller guide 10 orbit of the rollers 9 is non-circular and in particular has a support portion 14 (12 o'clock position to about 2 o'clock position) in which the rollers 9 are supported the stack 30 supporting under this.
- the roller guide 10 extends substantially in a straight line or at least with a relevant larger bending radius than a concentric circle to the roller wheel 7. Since the rollers 9 are to maintain their positions between each two successive objects 2, the support region 14 can not extend to the end of the stacking space 1. For this reason, it may be advantageous to attach a stationary support roller 16 on the rear side of the stacking space 1.
- the distances between the rollers 9 are relatively small, such that at the entrance of the support region 14 between them just enough large removal openings are present.
- the distances between the rollers 9 are advantageously further reduced, so that the stack 30 is well supported.
- the rollers 9 are delayed with respect to their associated teat / gripper pair 4/5 and reach the trailing area of the separated from the stack 30 items. 2
- a conveyor area (about 2 o'clock position to 6 o'clock position), in which the grippers 5 promote the completely separated from the stack of items 2, which advantageously by a support means 17 (support 17.1 and support band 17.2 ).
- the rollers 9 remain in this area between two each Items 2 positioned. This means that trailing areas of objects 2 are still on the outside of the revolving roller carpet.
- rollers 9 advantageously reduces the distance between the roller 9 and axis of rotation A and increases the distance between successive rollers 9 such that the rollers 9 in the delivery area (6 o'clock position) only a little outside the distal ends of the spokes 15, on which the Suction elements 4 are mounted, are positioned and can push the object 2 deposited by the gripper 5 optionally in a middle or leading area against the removal device 6. Then follows the return area (about 6 o'clock position to 12 o'clock position), in which the rollers 9 can again be guided radially outwards, such that the suction element 4 unhindered from its rearwardly pivoted position to its forward pivoted position can be swung around.
- the removal device 6 adjoins the gripper movement in the 6 o'clock position, and it is also not mandatory for the removal direction F to be aligned parallel to a tangent to the carrier 3 in the delivery region. like this in the FIG. 1 is shown. It is also possible, for example, to arrange the delivery area in the 3 o'clock position and to radially align the path transporting direction. It is also possible to transfer the objects 2 held by the grippers 5 for transporting away to a gripper transporter, instead of placing them on a conveyor belt.
- the device now further includes a Unterstell adopted 32 with pneumatic means 34 which comprise a pneumatic cylinder, and a Unterstellstoff 33 in the form of a flat, flexible Unterstellelementes.
- the Unterstell Rhein 32 serves to insert a Unterstellelement 33 between the stack 30 and the rollers 9 in idle cycles or when the device 1 is turned off.
- the lower adjusting element 33 extending transversely to the rollers 9 prevents sagging of the printed products 2 between two successive ones Rolls 9, as done for example by walking or longer downtime of the device 1.
