Description

本発明は、複数の印刷物を丁合する丁合装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a collating apparatus that collates a plurality of printed materials.

従来より、通信販売等のように、カタログ、チラシ、利用明細書等の複数種類の印刷物を同封して顧客に送付する場合、複数種類の印刷物が顧客毎に決められた組み合わせで丁合され、封筒に封入、封緘されて顧客に送付されている。   Conventionally, when sending multiple types of printed materials such as catalogs, leaflets, usage statements etc. to customers, such as mail order sales, multiple types of printed materials are collated in a combination determined for each customer, Enclosed in an envelope, sealed and sent to customers.

近年、このような複数種類の印刷物の丁合作業を自動的に行うシステムが様々考えられている。このようなシステムにおいては、例えば、主搬送経路に対して、カタログ、チラシ、利用明細書等の複数種類の印刷物が、それぞれ異なる供給手段から顧客毎の組み合わせに従って供給され、主搬送経路上にて顧客毎に決められた組み合わせの印刷物が重ね合わされる。   In recent years, various systems have been conceived that automatically perform collation work for a plurality of types of printed matter. In such a system, for example, a plurality of types of printed materials such as catalogs, leaflets, and usage statements are supplied to the main transport route according to combinations for each customer from different supply means. A combination of printed materials determined for each customer is superimposed.

図3は、従来の丁合装置の一例を示す図であり、(a)は主搬送経路上方向から見た図、(b)は(a)に示した矢印A方向から見た図である。   3A and 3B are diagrams showing an example of a conventional collating apparatus, where FIG. 3A is a diagram viewed from above the main conveyance path, and FIG. 3B is a diagram viewed from the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. .

本従来例は図3に示すように、互いに異なる印刷物となる帳票101−1〜101−nを供給するディタッチャー110−1〜110−nと、ディチャッター110−1〜110−nから供給された帳票101−1〜101−nが互いに重ね合わされて搬送されていく主搬送ライン120と、ディタッチャー110−1〜110−nのそれぞれに対応して設けられ、主搬送ライン120に次に供給される帳票101−1〜101−nが一時搭載される用紙受け台111−1〜111−nとから構成されている。また、主搬送ライン120においては、用紙受け台111−1〜111−nに搭載された帳票101−1〜101−nを搬送するための搬送フィンガー121が、帳票101−1〜101−nの搬送方向上流側から下流側に向かって移動している。   As shown in FIG. 3, the conventional example is supplied from the detachers 110-1 to 110-n that supply the forms 101-1 to 101-n and the dicutters 110-1 to 110-n. Forms 101-1 to 101-n are provided corresponding to each of the main transport line 120 and the detachers 110-1 to 110-n that are transported in a superimposed manner, and are supplied to the main transport line 120 next. The paper trays 111-1 to 111-n on which the forms 101-1 to 101-n are temporarily mounted are configured. In the main conveyance line 120, conveyance fingers 121 for conveying the forms 101-1 to 101-n mounted on the paper trays 111-1 to 111-n are the forms 101-1 to 101-n. It moves from the upstream side in the transport direction toward the downstream side.

上記のように構成された丁合装置においては、チラシフィーダ(不図示)から主搬送ライン120上に供給されたチラシ102が搬送フィンガー121によって搬送されてくると、このチラシ102に重ね合わされるべき帳票101−1〜101−nがディチャッター110−1〜110−nから主搬送ライン120上に供給され、チラシ102に重ね合わされて主搬送ライン120上を搬送されていく。ここで、チラシ102は、チラシフィーダから供給され、主搬送ライン120上を順次搬送されてくるため、ディチャッター110−1〜110−nにおいては、主搬送ライン120上を1つ前に搬送されてくるチラシ102が通過したタイミングで、チラシ102に重ね合わされるべき帳票101−1〜101−nが用紙受け台111−1〜111−n上に搭載される。すると、用紙受け台111−1〜111−n上に搭載された帳票101−1〜101−nは、帳票101−1〜101−nに重ね合わされるべきチラシ102を搬送している搬送フィンガー121によって用紙受け台111−1〜111−nからチラシ102上に落とされるように押され、それにより、チラシ102に重ね合わされてチラシ102とともに搬送フィンガー121によって搬送されていく。また、ディチャッター110−1〜110−nから供給される帳票101−1〜101−nどうしについても、上述したようなチラシ102と帳票101−1〜101−nとの重ね合わせと同様にして、予め決められた組み合わせで重ね合わされて主搬送ライン120上を搬送フィンガー121によって搬送されていく。例えば、チラシフィーダから供給されたチラシ102と、ディチャッター110−1,110−3から供給された帳票101−1,101−3とが互いに重ね合わされて主搬送ライン120上を搬送フィンガー121によって搬送されていく等といったように行われる(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。

In the collating apparatus configured as described above, when the leaflet 102 supplied from the leaflet feeder (not shown) onto the main conveyance line 120 is conveyed by the conveyance finger 121, it should be superimposed on the leaflet 102. Forms 101-1 to 101-n are supplied from the digters 110-1 to 110-n onto the main conveyance line 120, superimposed on the leaflet 102, and conveyed on the main conveyance line 120. Here, since the leaflet 102 is supplied from the leaflet feeder and is sequentially conveyed on the main conveyance line 120, the dicutters 110-1 to 110-n are conveyed on the main conveyance line 120 to the previous one. The forms 101-1 to 101-n to be superimposed on the leaflet 102 are mounted on the paper trays 111-1 to 111-n at the timing when the incoming leaflet 102 passes. Then, the forms 101-1 to 101-n mounted on the paper trays 111-1 to 111-n are transport fingers 121 that are transporting the leaflets 102 to be superimposed on the forms 101-1 to 101-n. Are pushed from the paper trays 111-1 to 111-n onto the leaflet 102, so that they are superimposed on the leaflet 102 and conveyed by the conveying fingers 121 together with the leaflet 102. Further, the forms 101-1 to 101-n supplied from the dicutters 110-1 to 110-n are similar to the above-described superposition of the leaflet 102 and the forms 101-1 to 101-n. Then, they are superposed in a predetermined combination and conveyed on the main conveyance line 120 by the conveyance fingers 121. For example, the leaflet 102 supplied from the leaflet feeder and the forms 101-1 and 101-3 supplied from the dicutters 110-1 and 110-3 are overlapped with each other and conveyed on the main conveyance line 120 by the conveyance fingers 121. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-59904

近年、上述したような丁合装置において丁合される帳票については、大型化されるとともに、薄い用紙が利用される傾向があり、そのためにディチャッターから供給される帳票の供給方向先端側が下方向に垂れ下がったり、あるいは、帳票が大きくない場合であっても、帳票の供給方向先端側が下方向にカールしていたりすること等によって、帳票が主搬送ライン上を搬送されてくるチラシや帳票に接触し、用紙受け台上に確実に搭載されなくなる虞れがあり、ジャムが発生しやすくなってしまうという問題点がある。また、帳票が用紙受け台に搭載された後に、主搬送経路上の用紙受け台が設けられた領域にチラシや帳票が搬送されてくる場合は、主搬送経路上を搬送されてくるチラシや帳票の搬送方向先端部が、用紙受け台から垂れ下がった帳票に接触し、ジャムが発生してしまう虞れがある。すなわち、搬送フィンガーが移動する経路上においては、帳票を受ける用紙受け台を設けることができないため、主搬送ライン上を搬送されてくる帳票と、ディタッチャーから供給される帳票との接触(摩擦抵抗)により、主搬送ライン上を搬送されてくる帳票にディタッチャーから供給される帳票が搭載される際に帳票に傾きが発生したり、帳票がカールした状態で搭載されたりする等といった搬送エラーの原因が生じてしまう。   In recent years, the forms collated in the collating apparatus as described above tend to be large and thin paper is used. For this reason, the leading side of the direction of the form supplied from the dicutter is downward. Even if the form hangs down or the form is not large, the form contacts the leaflet or form that is transported on the main transport line due to the curling of the leading edge of the form in the downward direction. However, there is a possibility that it will not be securely mounted on the paper tray, and there is a problem that jamming is likely to occur. In addition, if a flyer or form is transported to the area where the paper tray is provided on the main transport path after the form is mounted on the paper base, the flyer or form transported on the main transport path There is a possibility that the leading edge of the sheet will come into contact with the form hanging down from the paper tray and jamming may occur. That is, on the path along which the transport finger moves, it is not possible to provide a paper tray for receiving a form, so contact between the form transported on the main transport line and the form supplied from the detacher (friction resistance). Due to this, when a form supplied from the detacher is mounted on a form that is transported on the main transport line, the form may cause a transport error such as tilting the form or mounting the form in a curled state. It will occur.

また、重ね合わされる帳票の大きさが互いに異なる場合においても、上述したような問題点が生じてしまう。   In addition, even when the sizes of the superimposed forms are different from each other, the above-described problem occurs.

また、上述したような丁合装置においては、処理量の増加に伴い、処理の高速化が要求されており、そのため、ディチャッターからの帳票の供給が高速で行われている。しかしながら、ディチャッターからの帳票の供給が高速で行われた場合、帳票がディチャッターから強い力で供給されることになるため、ディチャッターから供給される帳票が、主搬送ラインの対向部分の壁にてはね返る等して用紙受け台上に確実に搭載されなくなる虞れがあり、その場合においても、ジャムが発生しやすくなってしまうという問題点がある。   Further, in the collating apparatus as described above, the processing speed is required to increase with an increase in the processing amount, and therefore, the supply of the form from the dictator is performed at a high speed. However, if the form is supplied from the dictator at a high speed, the form is supplied with a strong force from the dictator. There is a risk that the paper will not be securely mounted on the paper tray due to rebounding, and even in that case, there is a problem that jamming is likely to occur.

本発明は、上述したような従来の技術が有する問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、互いに異なる供給手段から主搬送経路上に供給される印刷物どうしを確実に重ね合わせることができる丁合装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the conventional techniques as described above, and is a collation capable of reliably superimposing printed materials supplied on the main conveyance path from different supply means. An object is to provide an apparatus.

上記目的を達成するために本発明は、
丁合される印刷物の主搬送経路にて印刷物の搬送方向上流側から下流側に向かって移動する搬送部材と、前記主搬送経路に対して印刷物を供給する複数の供給手段と、前記主搬送経路上の前記搬送部材の移動経路ではない領域に前記複数の供給手段に対応して設けられた複数の用紙受け台とを有し、前記複数の供給手段から供給され、前記用紙受け台上に搭載された印刷物が、前記搬送部材によって、該搬送部材によって前記主搬送経路上を搬送されてくる印刷物上に落とされることにより印刷物どうしが重ね合わされて搬送されていく丁合装置において、
前記用紙受け台上にて前記供給手段から供給される印刷物が前記用紙受け台との間に入り込むように設けられた用紙押え手段と、
前記用紙受け台と平行に、該用紙受け台から印刷物の供給方向下流側に向かって少なくとも前記搬送部材の移動経路まで伸長して設けられ、前記搬送部材の移動に伴って揺動可能に構成された印刷物支持部材とを有することを特徴とする。
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides:
A conveying member that moves from the upstream side toward the downstream side in the conveying direction of the printed material in the main conveying path of the printed material to be collated, a plurality of supply means for supplying the printed material to the main conveying route, and the main conveying route A plurality of paper receiving trays provided corresponding to the plurality of supplying means in a region that is not a movement path of the transport member, and is supplied from the plurality of supplying means and mounted on the paper receiving base In the collating apparatus in which the printed materials are overlapped and conveyed by the conveying member being dropped onto the printed material conveyed on the main conveying path by the conveying member,
A paper presser provided so that the printed material supplied from the supply unit on the paper cradle enters between the paper cradle;
Parallel to the paper receiving tray, it is provided extending from the paper receiving tray toward the downstream side in the printed material supply direction to at least the moving path of the conveying member, and is configured to be swingable as the conveying member moves. And a printed material support member.

また、前記用紙押え手段は、該用紙押え手段と前記用紙受け台との間に入り込んだ印刷物を前記用紙押え手段側から前記用紙受け台に押さえつけるばね部材を有することを特徴とする。   In addition, the sheet pressing unit includes a spring member that presses a printed material that has entered between the sheet pressing unit and the sheet receiving table from the sheet pressing unit side to the sheet receiving table.

上記のように構成された本発明においては、複数の供給手段から供給された印刷物は、それぞれ、主搬送経路にて印刷物の搬送方向上流側から下流側に向かって移動する搬送部材の移動経路ではない領域に複数の供給手段に対応して設けられた複数の用紙受け台上において、用紙受け台上に設けられた用紙押さえ部材と用紙受け台との間に入り込むように搭載される。この際、用紙受け台上に搭載される印刷物の供給方向下流側においては、用紙受け台が搬送部材の移動経路には設けられていないことにより、用紙受け台によって支持されていない状態となるが、用紙受け台と平行に、用紙受け台から印刷物の供給方向下流側に向かって少なくとも搬送部材の移動経路まで伸長して設けられた印刷物支持部材によって、下方に落ち込まないように支持される。そのため、用紙受け台上に搭載される印刷物が、主搬送経路上を搬送されてくる他の印刷物に接触することがなくなり、それにより、用紙受け台上に確実に搭載される。また、帳票が用紙受け台に搭載された後に、主搬送経路上の用紙受け台が設けられた領域にチラシや帳票が搬送されてくる場合においても、主搬送経路上を搬送されてくるチラシや帳票の搬送方向先端部が、用紙受け台上に搭載された印刷物に接触することがなくなり、ジャムの発生が回避される。その後、搬送部材が主搬送経路を移動してきて、用紙受け台上に搭載された印刷物に接触すると、印刷物は、搬送部材の移動に伴って搬送されていく。ここで、搬送部材がさらに移動すると、搬送部材と印刷物支持部材とが接触することになるが、印刷物支持部材は、搬送部材に接触した後、搬送部材の移動に伴って主搬送経路における印刷物の搬送方向下流側に揺動する。これにより、用紙受け台上に搭載された印刷物が主搬送経路上に落ち込まないようにしながら、用紙受け台上に搭載された印刷物が搬送部材によって移動していき、その後、主搬送経路上を搬送されてきた印刷物上に落とされて搬送されていく。このようにして、用紙受け台上に搭載された印刷物が、搬送部材によって主搬送経路上を搬送されてきた印刷物上に落とされて互いに重ね合わされて搬送されていく。   In the present invention configured as described above, the printed materials supplied from the plurality of supply units are respectively moved along the transport path of the transport member that moves from the upstream side to the downstream side in the transport direction of the printed material in the main transport path. On a plurality of paper trays provided corresponding to a plurality of supply means in an unoccupied region, the paper holders are mounted so as to enter between the paper pressing member provided on the paper tray and the paper tray. At this time, on the downstream side in the supply direction of the printed material mounted on the paper tray, the paper tray is not supported by the paper tray because the paper tray is not provided in the movement path of the conveying member. In parallel with the paper receiving tray, the printed material support member provided so as to extend from the paper receiving tray toward the downstream side of the printed material supply direction to at least the moving path of the conveying member is supported so as not to fall downward. Therefore, the printed material mounted on the paper receiving tray does not come into contact with other printed materials transported on the main transport path, and is thus surely mounted on the paper receiving tray. In addition, when a flyer or form is transported to the area where the paper tray is provided on the main transport path after the form is mounted on the paper base, The leading end of the form in the conveyance direction does not come into contact with the printed material mounted on the paper tray, and the occurrence of jam is avoided. Thereafter, when the conveying member moves along the main conveying path and comes into contact with the printed material mounted on the paper receiving tray, the printed material is conveyed along with the movement of the conveying member. Here, when the transport member further moves, the transport member and the printed material support member come into contact with each other. However, after the printed material support member comes into contact with the transport member, the printed material in the main transport path is moved along with the movement of the transport member. Swings downstream in the transport direction. As a result, the printed material loaded on the paper tray is moved by the conveyance member while preventing the printed material loaded on the paper tray from falling on the main conveyance route, and then conveyed on the main conveyance route. It is dropped onto the printed material that has been transported. In this way, the printed material mounted on the paper receiving tray is dropped onto the printed material that has been conveyed on the main conveying path by the conveying member, and is superimposed and conveyed.

また、供給手段から用紙受け台上に印刷物が搭載された際に、用紙押え手段に設けられたばね部材によって、用紙押え手段と用紙受け台との間に入り込んだ印刷物を用紙押え手段側から用紙受け台に押さえつけた場合は、供給手段から供給された印刷物が主搬送経路の対向部分の壁にて突き当たった際に、用紙押え手段と用紙受け台との間において帳票の供給方向上流側にはね返ることがなくなる。   Further, when the printed material is loaded on the paper receiving tray from the supply means, the printed material that has entered between the paper pressing means and the paper receiving tray is received from the paper pressing means side by the spring member provided on the paper pressing means. When pressed against the table, when the printed material supplied from the supply unit hits against the wall of the opposite part of the main transport path, it rebounds upstream in the sheet supply direction between the sheet pressing unit and the sheet receiving table. Disappears.

以上説明したように本発明においては、丁合される印刷物の主搬送経路にて印刷物の搬送方向上流側から下流側に向かって移動する搬送部材と、主搬送経路に対して印刷物を供給する複数の供給手段と、主搬送経路上の搬送部材の移動経路ではない領域に複数の供給手段に対応して設けられた複数の用紙受け台とを有し、複数の供給手段から供給され、用紙受け台上に搭載された印刷物が、搬送部材によって、搬送部材によって主搬送経路上を搬送されてくる印刷物上に落とされることにより印刷物どうしが重ね合わされて搬送されていく丁合装置において、用紙受け台上にて供給手段から供給される印刷物が用紙受け台との間に入り込むように設けられた用紙押え手段と、用紙受け台と平行に、用紙受け台から印刷物の供給方向下流側に向かって少なくとも搬送部材の移動経路まで伸長して設けられ、搬送部材の移動に伴って揺動可能に構成された印刷物支持部材とを有する構成としたため、用紙受け台上に搭載される印刷物が、主搬送経路上を搬送されてくる他の印刷物に接触することがなくなり、それにより、複数の供給手段から供給された印刷物を主搬送経路上にて確実に重ね合わせることができる。   As described above, in the present invention, the transport member that moves from the upstream side toward the downstream side in the transport direction of the printed material on the main transport route of the printed material to be collated, and a plurality of the printed materials that supply the main transport route Supply means and a plurality of paper receiving bases provided corresponding to the plurality of supply means in an area that is not the movement path of the conveyance member on the main conveyance path, and is supplied from the plurality of supply means and receives the paper In the collating apparatus in which the printed materials are stacked and conveyed by the conveying member being dropped onto the printed material conveyed by the conveying member on the main conveying path by the conveying member. The paper holding means provided so that the printed material supplied from the supply means enters between the paper receiving tray and the paper receiving tray parallel to the paper receiving tray and directed downstream from the paper receiving direction in the printed material supply direction. Therefore, the printed matter mounted on the paper tray is at least extended to the moving path of the conveying member, and has a printed matter supporting member configured to be swingable with the movement of the conveying member. There is no longer any contact with other printed materials conveyed on the main conveying path, so that the printed materials supplied from a plurality of supply means can be reliably overlapped on the main conveying path.

また、用紙押え手段に、用紙押え手段と用紙受け台との間に入り込んだ印刷物を用紙押え手段側から用紙受け台に押さえつけるばね部材を設けたものにおいては、供給手段から供給された印刷物が主搬送経路の対向部分の壁にて突き当たった際に、用紙押え手段と用紙受け台との間において帳票の供給方向上流側にはね返ることがなくなり、上記同様に、複数の供給手段から供給された印刷物を主搬送経路上にて確実に重ね合わせることができる。   In the case where the paper holding means is provided with a spring member that presses the printed material that has entered between the paper holding means and the paper cradle from the paper pressing means side to the paper cradle, the printed material supplied from the supply means is mainly used. When it hits against the wall of the opposite part of the conveyance path, it will not rebound to the upstream side in the paper supply direction between the paper pressing means and the paper receiving tray, and the printed matter supplied from the plurality of supply means in the same manner as above. Can be reliably superimposed on the main transport path.

ディタッチャー10−1においては、外部から供給された連続状の帳票が単片状に断裁され、単片状となった帳票1−1が用紙受け台11−1上に供給され、用紙受け台11−1と用紙押え部材12−1との間に入り込むように用紙受け台11−1上に搭載される(図2(a))。この際、ディチャッター10−1から供給された帳票1−1は、その供給方向下流側が、用紙受け台11−1に取り付けられた2つの用紙落込防止部材13a−1,13b−1によって下方に落ち込まないように支持されており、それにより、主搬送ライン20上を搬送されてくる他の印刷物に帳票1−1が接触することがなくなる。また、用紙受け台11−1と用紙押え部材12−1との間に入り込むように用紙受け台11−1上に搭載された帳票1−1が、用紙押え部材12−1に設けられたばね部材14−1によって用紙押え部材12−1側から用紙受け台11−1に押さえつけられる。このばね部材12−1は、例えば、ステンレスからなる板状のものであって、ディチャッター10−1から近い側においては、用紙受け台11−1との間に隙間を有し、かつ、ディチャッター10−1から遠い側においては、用紙受け台11−1と接している。これにより、ディチャッター10−1から用紙受け台11−1上に供給された帳票1−1は、ばね部材14−1と用紙受け台11−1との間において帳票11−1の供給方向下流側に滑り込むように移動する一方、帳票1−1が主搬送ライン20の対向部分の壁にて突き当たった際に、用紙押え部材12−1と用紙受け台11−1との間において帳票11−1の供給方向上流側にはね返ることがなくなる。なお、単片状となった帳票1−1のディチャッター10−1から用紙受け台11−1への供給は、その帳票1−1が、主搬送ライン20上を搬送されてくるチラシ2のうち、帳票1−1に重ね合わされるべきチラシ2に重ね合わされるように行われる必要がある。そのため、主搬送ライン20上を1つ前に搬送されてくるチラシ2が通過したタイミングで、チラシ2に重ね合わされるべき帳票1−1が用紙受け台11−1上に搭載されるように制御される。   In the detacher 10-1, a continuous form supplied from the outside is cut into a single piece, and the single form 1-1 is supplied onto the paper tray 11-1, and the paper tray 11. -1 and the paper pressing member 12-1 are mounted on the paper receiving tray 11-1 so as to enter between them (FIG. 2A). At this time, the form 1-1 supplied from the dicutter 10-1 is lowered on the downstream side in the supply direction by the two paper drop prevention members 13a-1 and 13b-1 attached to the paper receiving tray 11-1. It is supported so that it does not fall down, so that the form 1-1 does not come into contact with other printed matter conveyed on the main conveyance line 20. In addition, a form 1-1 mounted on the paper receiving tray 11-1 so as to enter between the paper receiving tray 11-1 and the paper pressing member 12-1 is a spring member provided on the paper pressing member 12-1. 14-1 is pressed against the paper tray 11-1 from the paper pressing member 12-1 side. The spring member 12-1 is, for example, a plate-shaped member made of stainless steel. The spring member 12-1 has a gap with the paper tray 11-1 on the side close to the dicutter 10-1, The side far from the chatter 10-1 is in contact with the paper tray 11-1. As a result, the form 1-1 supplied from the dicutter 10-1 onto the paper tray 11-1 is downstream in the supply direction of the form 11-1 between the spring member 14-1 and the paper tray 11-1. When the form 1-1 hits against the wall of the opposite part of the main transport line 20, the form 11- is moved between the sheet pressing member 12-1 and the sheet tray 11-1. No rebound to the upstream side in the supply direction. In addition, the supply of the form 1-1 in the form of a single piece from the dicutter 10-1 to the paper receiving tray 11-1 is the same as that of the leaflet 2 in which the form 1-1 is conveyed on the main conveyance line 20. Among them, it is necessary to be performed so as to be superimposed on the leaflet 2 to be superimposed on the form 1-1. Therefore, control is performed so that the form 1-1 to be superimposed on the leaflet 2 is mounted on the paper tray 11-1 at the timing when the leaflet 2 conveyed immediately before on the main conveyance line 20 passes. Is done.

一方、チラシフィーダ(不図示)から主搬送ライン20上に供給されたチラシ2は、主搬送ライン20を、帳票1−1を含む印刷物の搬送方向上流側から下流側に向かって移動する搬送フィンガー21によって、その搬送方向上流端が搬送方向下流側に押されることにより、主搬送ライン20上を搬送されてくる(図2(b))。   On the other hand, the leaflet 2 supplied from the leaflet feeder (not shown) onto the main conveyance line 20 has a conveyance finger that moves the main conveyance line 20 from the upstream side toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the printed matter including the form 1-1. 21, the upstream end in the transport direction is pushed to the downstream side in the transport direction, so that the main transport line 20 is transported (FIG. 2B).

主搬送ライン20を移動する搬送フィンガー21が、用紙受け台11−1上に搭載された帳票1−1に接触すると、帳票1−1は、搬送フィンガー21の移動に伴って、主搬送ライン20における帳票1−1の搬送方向下流側に押され、用紙受け台11−1上を搬送方向下流側にずれるように移動していく(図2(c))。   When the transport finger 21 moving on the main transport line 20 comes into contact with the form 1-1 mounted on the paper tray 11-1, the form 1-1 moves along with the movement of the transport finger 21. Is pushed downstream in the transport direction of the form 1-1, and moves on the paper tray 11-1 so as to be shifted downstream in the transport direction (FIG. 2C).

搬送フィンガー21が主搬送ライン20をさらに移動し、用紙受け台11−1に取り付けられた2つの用紙落込防止部材13a−1,13b−1のうち、主搬送ライン20における印刷物の搬送方向上流側の用紙落込防止部材13a−1に接すると、用紙落込防止部材13a−1は、搬送フィンガー21に押されて主搬送ライン20における印刷物の搬送方向下流側に揺動し、また、帳票1−1は、搬送フィンガー21によって主搬送ライン20における搬送方向下流側にさらに搬送されていく(図2(d))。   The conveyance finger 21 further moves along the main conveyance line 20 and the upstream side in the conveyance direction of the printed material in the main conveyance line 20 among the two sheet drop prevention members 13a-1 and 13b-1 attached to the sheet tray 11-1. When the sheet fall prevention member 13a-1 comes into contact with the sheet fall prevention member 13a-1, the sheet fall prevention member 13a-1 is pushed by the conveyance finger 21 and swings downstream in the conveyance direction of the printed matter in the main conveyance line 20, and the form 1-1. Is further transported downstream of the main transport line 20 in the transport direction by the transport fingers 21 (FIG. 2D).

搬送フィンガー21が主搬送ライン20をさらに移動していき、主搬送ライン20における印刷物の搬送方向下流側に揺動していた用紙落込部材13a−1が搬送フィンガー21から離間すると、用紙落込防止部材13a−1は、搬送フィンガー21によって主搬送ライン20における搬送方向下流側に押される前の状態に戻る(図2(e))。ここで、用紙落込防止部材13a−1,13b−1においては、用紙受け台11−1に取り付けられた部分を回転軸として回転自在に、かつ、外力が加わらない状態においてはばね力等によって、図2(a)に示した状態に戻るような構成とすることや、湾曲可能な板状の部材とし、搬送フィンガー21によって押された場合に、用紙受け台11−1に取り付けられた部分を固定軸として湾曲するような構成とすることが考えられる。   When the transport finger 21 further moves along the main transport line 20 and the paper drop member 13a-1 that has been swung to the downstream side in the transport direction of the printed material in the main transport line 20 moves away from the transport finger 21, the paper drop prevention member 13a-1 returns to the state before being pushed downstream in the transport direction in the main transport line 20 by the transport finger 21 (FIG. 2 (e)). Here, in the paper drop prevention members 13a-1 and 13b-1, the portion attached to the paper tray 11-1 is rotatable about the rotation axis, and in the state where no external force is applied, by a spring force or the like, When the structure is such that the state returns to the state shown in FIG. 2A, or a plate-like member that can be bent, and is pushed by the transport finger 21, the portion attached to the paper tray 11-1 is It is conceivable to adopt a configuration that curves as a fixed shaft.

その後、搬送フィンガー21が主搬送ライン20をさらに移動していき、主搬送ライン20における印刷物の搬送方向下流側の用紙落込防止部材13b−1に接すると、用紙落込防止部材13b−1は、搬送フィンガー21に押されて主搬送ライン20における印刷物の搬送方向下流側に揺動し、また、帳票1−1は、搬送フィンガー21によって主搬送ライン20における搬送方向下流側にさらに搬送されていき、用紙受け台11−1及び用紙落込防止部材13b−1から、主搬送ライン20上を搬送されてくるチラシ2上に落とされ、チラシ2に重ね合わされた状態で搬送フィンガー21によって主搬送ライン20上を搬送されていく(図2(f))。また、用紙落込防止部材13b−1は、搬送フィンガー21によって主搬送ライン20における搬送方向下流側に押される前の状態に戻る。   Thereafter, when the transport finger 21 further moves along the main transport line 20 and comes into contact with the paper drop prevention member 13b-1 on the downstream side in the transport direction of the printed matter in the main transport line 20, the paper drop prevention member 13b-1 is transported. It is pushed by the finger 21 and swings downstream in the conveyance direction of the printed material in the main conveyance line 20, and the form 1-1 is further conveyed downstream in the conveyance direction in the main conveyance line 20 by the conveyance finger 21, The paper is dropped onto the leaflet 2 conveyed on the main conveyance line 20 from the paper tray 11-1 and the sheet drop prevention member 13b-1, and is superimposed on the leaflet 2 by the conveyance fingers 21 on the main conveyance line 20. Are conveyed (FIG. 2 (f)). Further, the sheet drop prevention member 13b-1 returns to the state before being pushed by the transport finger 21 to the downstream side in the transport direction in the main transport line 20.

このようにして、チラシフィーダから供給されたチラシ2と、ディタッチャー10−1〜10−nから供給された帳票1−1〜1−nとが、予め決められた組み合わせで重ね合わされて主搬送ライン20上を搬送フィンガー21によって搬送されていく。   In this way, the leaflet 2 supplied from the leaflet feeder and the forms 1-1 to 1-n supplied from the detachers 10-1 to 10-n are overlapped in a predetermined combination to be the main conveyance line. 20 is transported by the transport fingers 21.
