The invention relates to a process for the preparation of bonded Collecting books, magazines or brochures from printed sheets to unbound book blocks on a conveyor line, fed by at least one sheet feeder is, wherein the sheets each in an edge region of lifted off a front of a sheet pile and then be withdrawn by means of conveying member of the remaining stack, and a device for making bound books, magazines or brochures by collating sheets along a conveying path, which has a driver Conveyor and at least one above the conveyor arranged, the latter with on a stack front withdrawn from sheet fed investors, one on a freestanding edge region of the sheet the stack front side of a remainder stack separating device and a sheet withdrawing the signature from the front of the stack Has conveying member.

Die CH 692 700 A5 vermittelt eine Zusammentragmaschine mit in einer Reihe angeordneten Anlegestationen, die jeweils aus einem Magazin zur Aufnahme eines Falzbogenstapels und einer Einrichtung zum Vereinzeln des jeweils untersten Falzbogens bestehen. Weiterhin weist die Zusammentragmaschine einen Sammelförderer mit in einem Sammelkanal angetriebenen Mitnehmern auf, denen die vereinzelten Falzbogen zur Stapelbildung zugeführt werden. Der Falzbogenstapel befindet sich bei einer Ausführung nach der CH 692 700 A5 unter Freilassung eines in Förderrichtung der Falzbogen seitlichen Falzkantenbereichs auf einem Saugöffnungen aufweisenden Förderband über dem Sammelkanal, von dem an der Unterseite durch das Förderband ein Falzbogen jeweils soweit vorgeschoben wird, dass er von einem nachgeschalteten Abzugsfördersystem weitertransportiert werden kann. Ueber den mittels Saugelement seitlich abgekippten untersten Falzbogen kann zur Minderung der Haftreibung zwischen dem abzuziehenden Falzbogen und dem darüber liegenden Druckluft zugeführt werden. Damit jeweils nur der unterste Falzbogen vom Stapel abgezogen wird, ist an der Magazinaustrittsöffnung eine sog. Durchlassleiste vorgesehen, mit der ein einstellbarer Durchlassspalt über dem Förderband gebildet werden kann.The CH 692 700 A5 provides a gathering machine with in a series arranged landing stations, each consisting of a Magazine for holding a folded sheet pile and a device exist for separating the bottom sheet respectively. Furthermore, the gathering machine has a collection conveyor with driven in a collecting channel drivers on which the individual folded sheets fed to stack formation become. The folded sheet stack is in one execution after CH 692 700 A5, leaving one in the conveying direction the folded sheet side folding edge area suction conveyor having a conveyor belt above the collecting channel, from the underside of the conveyor belt a folded sheet each advanced so far that he from a downstream deduction conveyor system to be transported can. About the bottom by means of suction tipped Folded sheet can be used to reduce the stiction between the subtending sheet and the overlying compressed air be supplied. So that only the lowest folded sheet is withdrawn from the stack is at the magazine outlet opening a so-called passage strip provided with an adjustable Passage gap are formed over the conveyor belt can.

Diese bekannte Vereinzelungseinrichtung kann zur Beschickung in Längsrichtung als auch quer zum Sammelkanal verwendet werden.This known separation device can be used for charging be used in the longitudinal direction as well as transversely to the collection channel.

Ein Nachteil dieser Vereinzelungseinrichtung besteht am Durchlassspalt der Magazinaustrittsöffnung, die zur Zurückhaltung des nächstfolgenden Falzbogens einzustellen ist. Dies ist nicht nur bei dünnen Falzbogen mit erheblichem Aufwand verbunden und kleinformatige Falzbogen verhindern oft eine ausreichend grosse Verbindungsfläche mit dem Förderband, sodass eine zuverlässige Vereinzelung nicht möglich ist.A disadvantage of this separating device is the passage gap the magazine exit opening, which restraint of the next folded sheet is set. This is not only with thin folded sheets associated with considerable effort and small-format folded sheets often prevent sufficient big connection area with the conveyor belt, so a reliable singulation is not possible.

For this purpose, the removal unit 13 in the function as a separation device a arranged along the opening 11 convex Support surface 14, which passes through to a vacuum source connected suction openings 15 is formed and through detected a vacuum on the support surface 14 in the edge region Print sheet 5 lifts with a rolling movement of the remaining stack (Figure 4b). That is, the extraction unit 13 performs the separation process a combined rotary and translational movement. To This purpose, the support surface 14 of the extraction unit 13th a formed by an axis of rotation 16 of the rotational movement circular arc-shaped surface, resulting in the separation process at the height of the magazine floor 10 resp. minimal about it emotional.

Die Entnahmeeinheit 13 weist am vorderen Ende der Auflagefläche 14 mehrere verteilt angeordnete Blasdüsen 31 auf, die spätestens bei Saugbeginn durch die Saugöffnungen 15 zur Zuführung von Blasluft zwischen die einzelnen Druckbogen 5 im unteren Bereich des Druckbogenstapels aktiviert werden; dies zur Unterstützung des Trennvorgangs, der insbesondere bei dünnen oder porösen Druckbogen höhere Ansprüche stellt.The removal unit 13 has at the front end of the support surface 14 a plurality of distributed distributed nozzles 31, the latest at the beginning of suction through the suction openings 15 for feeding of blowing air between the individual sheets 5 in the bottom Area of the sheet stack to be activated; this to Support the separation process, especially in thin or porous printed sheet makes higher demands.

Die translatorische Bewegung der Entnahmeeinheit 13, horizontal und quer zur Längserstreckung des hier gefalzten Randes, erfolgt an einer stationären Zahnstange, mit welcher ein an der Drehachse 16 mit der Entnahmeeinheit 13 verbundenes Zahnrad resp. Zahnsegment 17 kämmt.The translational movement of the extraction unit 13, horizontal and transverse to the longitudinal extent of the edge folded here, takes place on a stationary rack, with which a the axis of rotation 16 connected to the extraction unit 13 gear respectively. Tooth segment 17 meshes.

Mit einer anschliessenden translatorischen Bewegung der Entnahmeeinheit 13 in Förderrichtung F wird der angesaugte unterste Druckbogen 5 im Stapel unter zu Hilfenahme von Blasluft an die Oberseite des Magazinbodens 10 aus dem Magazin 9 geschoben, so dass er von einer nachgeschalteten Transportvorrichtung 18 übernommen werden kann.With a subsequent translational movement of the extraction unit 13 in the conveying direction F is the sucked lowest Sheet 5 in the stack with the help of blowing air pushed to the top of the magazine bottom 10 from the magazine 9, allowing it from a downstream transport device 18 can be taken over.

Der im Randbereich auf der Auflagefläche 14 festsitzende Druckbogen 5 erfährt durch die gebogene Form eine höhere Steifigkeit, die sich beim Ausschieben aus dem Magazin 9 als nützlich für die Formbeständigkeit erweist.The stuck in the edge region on the support surface 14 Printed sheet 5 experiences by the curved shape a higher rigidity, which are useful when ejecting from the magazine 9 for the dimensional stability proves.

In den Fig. 4a bis 4c ist der Trennvorgang in Schritten dargestellt. Die Entnahmeeinheit 13 befindet sich laut Fig. 4a in einer Ausgangsstellung unmittelbar unter dem von dem Stapel im Randbereich zu trennenden untersten Druckbogen 5. Letzterer wird nun in dieser äussersten Position der Entnahmeeinheit 13 durch ein an den Saugöffnungen 15 einsetzendes Vakuum an der Auflagefläche 14 in einem schmalen Randbereich erfasst.In FIGS. 4a to 4c, the separation process is shown in steps.
