Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Falzapparat mit einer Falzgruppe für den zweiten Falz (erster Querfalz) und mindestens einer Falzgruppe für den dritten Falz (zweiter Längsfalz) und Transportvorrichtungen zum Zuführen der von einer Druckträgerbahn zugeschnittenen Druckexemplare.The invention relates to a folder with a fold group for the second fold (first transverse fold) and at least one fold group for the third fold (second longitudinal fold) and transport devices for feeding the printed copies cut from a print carrier web.

Häufig ist es erwünscht, bereits quergefalzte Produkte unterschiedlicher Art, beispielsweise für Damen- und Herrenmode, lose ineinanderliegend gemeinsam einer Zeitung als Beilage beizufügen. Bisher mußten in diesem Fall die unterschiedlichen Exemplare in zwei verschiedenen Falzgruppen erzeugt und durch Nachverarbeitung ineinandergelegt und in die Zeitung eingefügt werden. Diese erfordert naturgemäß hohen maschinellen und zeitlichen Aufwand.It is often desirable to enclose different types of cross-folded products, for example for women's and men's fashion, loosely one inside the other as a supplement to a newspaper. Previously, in this case, the different copies had to be created in two different fold groups and put together in postprocessing and inserted into the newspaper. This naturally requires a high level of machine and time.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der Druckexemplare unterschiedlicher Art, die vorzugsweise bereits mindestens einmal quergefalzt sind, so weiterbehandelt werden, daß als Endprodukt wahlweise die beiden Druckexemplare ineinandergefalzt zur Verfügung stehen, so daß diese in einem Einlegevorgang einer Zeitschrift oder einem anderen Druckprodukt beigefügt werden können, die kompakt baut und die ohne wesentliche Umrüstzeit auf Normalproduktion umstellbar ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der Merkmale des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen sowie aus der Beschreibung in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung. Diese zeigt in Fig. 1 schematisch den erfindungsgemäßen Falzapparat und in den Fig. 2 bis 4 Falzprodukte.The object of the invention is to provide a device with which printed copies of different types, which are preferably already folded at least once, are further processed so that the two printed copies are optionally available folded into one another so that they can be inserted in a magazine or magazine insert process can be added to another printed product, which is compact and which can be converted to normal production without a significant changeover time. This object is achieved by applying the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Further developments result from the subclaims and from the description in connection with the drawing. 1 schematically shows the folder according to the invention and in FIGS. 2 to 4 fold products.

Der dargestellte Falzapparat umfaßt eine Falzgruppe 1, der bei einer Betriebsart eine nicht längsgeschnittene Druckträgerbahn 3 und bei zwei weiteren Betriebsarten eine durch die angedeutete Längsschneidvorrichtung erzeugte Teilbahn 1a über ein Trichtereinlaufwalzenpaar 4, ein Zugwalzenpaar 5, ein Querperforationszylinderpaar 6 und ein weiteres Zugwalzenpaar 7 zuführbar ist. Die Teilbahn 1a bzw. die nicht längsgeschnittene Druckträgerbahn 3 wird mittels eines Schneidmesserzylinders 9, einem Falzmesserzylinder 8 mit der gewünschten Druckexemplarlänge zugeführt. An dem Falzmesserzylinder 8 werden die Druckexemplare A1 an der Vorderkante aufgenadelt, wofür entsprechende Punkturen 8' vorgesehen sind und mit Hilfe von Falzmessern 8" in entsprechende Falzklappen 10' des benachbarten Falzklappenzylinders 10 gestoßen. Schneidmesserzylinder 9, Falzmesserzylinder 8 und Falzklappenzylinder 10 stellen somit die erste Falzgruppe 1 dar, mit der der sogenannte zweite Falz, das ist der erste Querfalz erzeugt wird. Hinter dem Falzklappenzylinder 10 werden die zumindest einmal quergefalzten Druckexemplare A1 in eine Bandleitung 12, 13 übergeben. Bei einer Betriebsweise gelangen die quergefalzten Druckexemplare in Geradeausführung zu einem dritten Falz 14, dem sogenannten zweiten Längsfalz, der bekanntlich aus einem Falzwalzenpaar und einem darüber angeordneten zwischen dieses einstoßbaren Falzmesser besteht. Es versteht sich, daß ggf. auch anstelle des Längsfalzes der dritte Falz als Querfalz ausgebildet sein kann.The folding apparatus shown comprises a folding group 1 which, in one operating mode, a non-longitudinally cut print carrier web 3 and in two further operating modes a partial web 1a produced by the indicated longitudinal cutting device can be fed via a funnel inlet roller pair 4, a pair of pull roller 5, a cross perforation cylinder pair 6 and a further pair of pull roller 7. The partial web 1a or the non-longitudinally cut print carrier web 3 is fed by means of a cutting knife cylinder 9, a folding knife cylinder 8 with the desired print copy length. The printed copies A1 are needled onto the folding knife cylinder 8 at the front edge, for which purpose punctures 8 'are provided and are pushed into corresponding folding jaws 10' of the adjacent folding jaw cylinder 10 'with the aid of folding knives 8'. Cutting knife cylinder 9, folding knife cylinder 8 and folding jaw cylinder 10 thus constitute the first Fold group 1, with which the so-called second fold, that is, the first transverse fold, is produced. The print copies A1, which have been folded at least once, are transferred to a ribbon line 12, 13 behind the folding jaw cylinder 10. In one operating mode, the cross-folded print copies arrive in a straight version at a third Fold 14, the so-called second longitudinal fold, which, as is known, consists of a pair of folding rollers and a folding knife which can be inserted between them.

Durch den an den Falzklappenzylinder 10 angestellten Falzmesserzylinder 11 mit Greifern 11' kann an den Druckexemplaren A1 auch ein zweiter Querfalz in der ersten Falzgruppe 1 erzeugt werden, falls dies gewünscht ist. Erfindungsgemäß wird eine weitere Betriebsart über den Falzmesserzylinder 11 ermöglicht, bei der die gefalzten Druckexemplare A1 von dem Falzklappenzylinder 10 abgehoben und in eine Bandleitung 24, 25 geführt werden. Anschlie- βend gelangen sie zu der zweiten Falzgruppe 15, die in etwa identisch aufgebaut sein kann, wie die erste Falzgruppe 1 und in der bei einer Betriebsweise die Teilbahn 1b geschnitten und quergefalzt werden kann. Der zweiten Falzgruppe 15 wird die Teilbahn 1 über Leit- und Regulierwalzen 16, ein Zugwalzenpaar 17 zugeführt. Diese umfaßt einen Schneidmesserzylinder 18, einen Falzmesserzylinder 19 mit Punkturen 19' und Falzmesser 19" sowie einem Falzklappenzylinder 20 mit Falzklappen 20'. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Aufbau ergibt sich somit in vorteilhafter Weise die Möglichkeit, die quergefalzten Falzprodukte A1 über die Bandleitungen 24, 25, die über Umlenkwalze 26 geführt werden, bei einer Betriebsart dem Falzklappenzylinder 20 zuzuführen, in dessen Falzklappen 20' die von der Teilbahn 1b erzeugten quergefalzten Druckexemplare A2 geführt werden. Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt das Zusammenführen der Druckexemplare A1 und A2 vorderkantengenau am Falzklappenzylinder 20. Anschließend werden die zusammengeführten Druckexemplare A1, A2 teilweise um den Falzklappenzylinder 20 geführt und gelangen dann beide über die Bandleitung 21, 22 zu dem oberen Längsfalz 23, der die Druckexemplare A1, A2 gemäß Fig. 2 ineinanderfalzt. Somit können auf einfache Weise Druckexemplare A1, A2 unterschiedlicher Art, die gemäß Fig. 2 ineinanderliegen hergestellt werden, die gemeinsam einem Produkt, beispielsweise einer Zeitung beigelegt werden können.Due to the folding blade cylinder 11 with grippers 11 'placed on the folding jaw cylinder 10, a second transverse fold can also be produced in the first folding group 1 on the printed copies A1, if this is desired. According to the invention, a further operating mode is made possible by the folding knife cylinder 11, in which the folded printed copies A1 are lifted off the folding jaw cylinder 10 and guided into a ribbon line 24, 25. They then arrive at the second folding group 15, which can be constructed approximately identically to the first folding group 1 and in which the partial web 1b can be cut and folded in one mode of operation. The partial web 1 is fed to the second folding group 15 via guide and regulating rollers 16, a pair of pull rollers 17. This comprises a cutting knife cylinder 18, a folding knife cylinder 19 with punctures 19 'and folding knife 19 "and a folding jaw cylinder 20 with folding jaws 20'. The construction according to the invention thus advantageously provides the possibility of cross-folded folding products A1 via the ribbon cables 24, 25, which are guided over deflecting roller 26 in one operating mode to feed the folding jaw cylinder 20, in whose folding jaws 20 'the cross-folded printed copies A2 produced by the partial web 1b are guided Print copies A1, A2 are partially guided around the folding jaw cylinder 20 and then both reach the upper longitudinal fold 23 via the ribbon line 21, 22, which folds the print copies A1, A2 into one another as shown in Fig. 2. Thus, print copies A1, A2 of different types can be easily 2 ineina nder couches are produced that can be enclosed together with a product, for example a newspaper.

Bei einer anderen Betriebsweise werden die Teilbahnen 1a und 1 b separat in den Falzgruppen 1, 15 zugeschnitten und quergefalzt und jeweils in den zugehörigen Längsfalz 14, 23 zu dem Produkt gemäß Fig. 3 verarbeitet.In another mode of operation, the partial webs 1a and 1b are cut and folded separately in the folding groups 1, 15 and each processed in the associated longitudinal fold 14, 23 into the product according to FIG. 3.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist es auch möglich, die in der Zeichnung gemäß Fig. 1 angedeutete Längsschneidvorrichtung außer Betrieb zu setzen und die ungeschnitte Bahn lediglich der unteren Falzgruppe 1 zuzuführen. Von dieser aus können abwechselnd die quergefalzten nicht längsgeschnittenen Druckexemplare entweder über den Greifer-und Falzmesserzylinder 11, die Bandleitung 24, 25, den Falzklappenzylinder 20, die Bandleitungen 21, 22 dem oberen Längsfalz 23 oder von dem Falzklappenzylinder 10, über die Bandleitungen 12,13 dem unteren Längsfalz 14 zugeführt werden. Es lassen sich so Produkte gemäß Fig. 4 herstellen. Durch diese Aufsplittung kann die Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit des Falzapparates wesentlich erhöht werden. Bei dieser Betriebsweise wird auch der Falzklappenzylinder 20 der oberen Falzgruppe 15 teilweise in den Transportweg integriert.In an advantageous manner, it is also possible to put the slitting device indicated in the drawing according to FIG. 1 out of operation and to feed the uncut web only to the lower folding group 1. From this, the cross-folded, not longitudinally cut, printed copies can alternately either via the gripper and folding knife cylinder 11, the ribbon line 24, 25, the folding jaw cylinder 20, the ribbon lines 21, 22, the upper longitudinal fold 23 or from the folding jaw cylinder 10, via the ribbon lines 12, 13 the lower longitudinal fold 14 are fed. Products according to FIG. 4 can thus be produced. This splitting can significantly increase the speed of the folder. In this mode of operation, the folding jaw cylinder 20 of the upper folding group 15 is also partially integrated into the transport path.

Der erfindungsgemäße Falzapparat baut kompakt. Es sind nur geringe Umrüstzeiten zwischen den drei möglichen Produktionsarten zur Erzeugung der Falzprodukte gemäß den Fig. 2 bis 4 erforderlich. Das Zusammenführen der Druckexemplare A1, A2 ist mit großer Genauigkeit an dem Falzklappenzylinder 20 möglich, wobei ggf. dieser in Umfangsrichtung zum vorderkantengenauen Übereinanderlegen verdreht werden kann. Bei diesem Vorgang wird das Druckexemplar A2 noch in den Falzklappen 20' gehalten. Gegebenenfalls kann auch anstelle der unteren Leitungen 25 bzw. 22 eine durchgehende Leitung von dem Greifer- und Falzmesserzylinder 11 bis zum oberen Längsfalz 23 verwendet werden, die dann teilweise um den Falzklappenzylinder 20 geführt werden muß.The folder of the invention is compact. Only short changeover times between the three possible production types for producing the folded products according to FIGS. 2 to 4 are required. The merging of the printed copies A1, A2 is possible with great accuracy on the folding jaw cylinder 20, it being possible for this to be rotated in the circumferential direction in order to be superimposed on the leading edges. During this process, the printed copy A2 is still held in the jaws 20 '. If necessary, a continuous line from the gripper and folding knife cylinder 11 to the upper longitudinal fold 23 can also be used instead of the lower lines 25 or 22, which line then has to be partially guided around the folding jaw cylinder 20.
