Abstract

The method involves supplying multiple hinged sheets and back processing device (13). The back of brochures is recast in the back processing device. The brochures are supplied a cover after recasting the back, and glue is applied either on the cover or the recast back. An independent claim is included for a device for manufacturing printed products.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Druckerzeugnissen, bei dem geheftete, aus einer Anzahl von Falzbogen bestehende und jeweils einen Rücken aufweisende Broschuren einer Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung zugeführt und die Rücken der Broschuren in der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung umgeformt werden.The invention relates to a method and a device for producing printed products, in which stapled brochures consisting of a number of folded sheets and each having a back are fed to a back-processing device and the backs of the brochures are formed in the back-processing device.

Die US-A-5,678,813 offenbart ein Verfahren, mit dem geheftete Druckerzeugnisse hergestellt werden können, bei dem eine von innen nach aussen gehefteten Broschur mittels Leim mit einer von aussen nach innen gehefteten Broschur verbunden wird. Diese Produktionsart bietet den Vorteil, dass die Heftklammerschenkel innen liegen und durch die jeweils andere Broschur abgedeckt werden. Da der Produktrücken bei diesem Verfahren nicht umgeformt wird, kann keine flächige, zur Beschriftung des Druckerzeugnisses nutzbare Stirnseite zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Zudem weisen die nach diesem Verfahren hergestellten Druckerzeugnisse kein hochwertiges Aussehen auf, weil an ihrem Rücken Heftklammern sichtbar sind. Schliesslich ist das Verfahren relativ aufwendig.The US-A-5,678,813 discloses a method by which stapled printed matter can be made by bonding a booklet stapled from the inside to the outside with a booklet stapled from outside to inside. This production method has the advantage that the staple legs lie inside and are covered by the other brochure. Since the product back is not formed in this process, no flat, usable for labeling the printed product front page can be provided. In addition, the printed products produced by this method do not have a high-quality appearance because on their back staples are visible. Finally, the process is relatively expensive.

Die EP-A-1 479 528 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung zum Sammeln, Heften und Abpressen von Druckbogen. Zum Umformen des Produktrückens kommen seitliche Anpressbacken, so wie eine stirnseitige Anpressrolle zum Einsatz. Durch das Umformen kann ein eckiger Rücken hergestellt werden, der einen zusätzlichen Druckbereich für Beschriftungen, wie beispielsweise Titel, Thema, Autor, Bandnummer usw. bietet. Solche Druckerzeugnisse können in ein Bücherregal gestellt und an der an ihrem Rücken aufgebrachten Beschriftung leicht identifiziert werden. Darüber hinaus können sie bis zu ihrem Rücken aufgeschlagen werden, sodass sie nicht mehr von selbst zuschlagen. Die nach diesem Verfahren hergestellten Druckerzeugnisse haben zwar ein hochwertigeres Aussehen als in üblicher Weise geheftete Druckerzeugnisse, jedoch ist ihre Herstellung wesentlich aufwendiger und damit teurer. Zudem erfolgt das Umformen des Produktrückens im Stillstand, was von grossem Nachteil bei der Erreichung hoher Produktionsleistungen ist.The EP-A-1 479 528 describes a device for collecting, stapling and pressing of printed sheets. For forming the product back side pressing jaws, such as a front-side pressure roller are used. Reshaping can create a square spine that provides additional print area for captions such as title, subject, author, volume number, and so forth. Such printed matter can be placed in a bookshelf and easily identified on the label applied to its back. In addition, they can be pitched up to their backs, so they do not anymore strike by itself. Although the printed matter produced by this process have a higher quality appearance than stapled in the usual way printed products, but their production is much more expensive and therefore more expensive. In addition, the reshaping of the product takes place at a standstill, which is a great disadvantage in achieving high production rates.

Die EP-A-1 690 696 offenbart ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Abpressen von auf einem Sammelhefter zusammengetragenen, mit einem Umschlag versehenen und gehefteten Druckerzeugnissen. Beim Abpressen wird die aufgrund des Falzes im Rückenbereich der Druckerzeugnisse entstandene grössere Produktdicke eliminiert, wodurch die Prozesssicherheit für nachfolgende Verfahrensschritte erhöht werden kann. Das Abpressen des Rückens erfolgt innerhalb des Sammelhefters, in einer stromab der Heftstation angeordneten Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung. Das Verfahren stellt ebenfalls keine flächige, für Beschriftungszwecke nutzbare Stirnseite des Rückens zur Verfügung. Da am Rücken zudem auch die Heftklammern sichtbar sind, weisen die nach diesem Verfahren hergestellten Druckerzeugnisse kein hochwertiges Aussehen auf.The EP-A-1 690 696 discloses a method and apparatus for squeezing enveloped and stitched printed matter on a saddle stitcher. During pressing, the larger product thickness resulting from the fold in the back region of the printed products is eliminated, as a result of which the process reliability for subsequent method steps can be increased. The pressing of the back takes place within the saddle stitcher, in a back-processing device arranged downstream of the stitching station. The method also does not provide a flat, usable for labeling purposes front of the back. Since the staples are also visible on the back, the printed products produced by this method do not have a high-quality appearance.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, welche die genannten Nachteile vermeiden.The invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned, which avoid the disadvantages mentioned.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einem gattungsgemässen Verfahren dadurch gelöst, dass den Broschuren nach dem Umformen des Rückens jeweils ein Umschlag zugeführt, entweder auf den Umschlag oder den umgeformten Rücken Leim aufgetragen, der Umschlag mit der jeweiligen Broschur zu einem Druckerzeugnis verbunden und das Druckerzeugnis aus der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung ausgeführt wird. Dazu weist die Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung eine Umformeinrichtung, eine Leimstation sowie Mittel zum Aufbringen eines Umschlags auf die Broschur auf. Mit diesem Verfahren bzw. der entsprechenden Vorrichtung können bei vergleichsweise niedrigen Herstellungskosten erstmals auf ihrem Rücken beschriftbare und an ihrem Rücken keine Heftklammern aufweisende, geheftete Druckerzeugnisse mit einem hochwertigen, klebegebundenen Büchern ähnlichem Aussehen hergestellt werden.The object is achieved in a generic method in that the brochures after the forming of the back each supplied an envelope, either applied to the envelope or the formed back glue, the envelope with the respective brochure connected to a printed product and the printed product from the back processing device is performed. For this purpose, the spine processing device has a forming device, a glue station and means for applying an envelope to the brochure. With this method and the corresponding device can be produced at a comparatively low production cost for the first time on their backs writable and stapled at their backs stapled printed products with a high-quality, adhesive bound books similar appearance.

In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird das in der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung erfolgende Umformen, Leimauftragen sowie Verbinden des Umschlags mit der Broschur unabhängig von vor- oder nachgelagerten Verfahrensschritten zum Herstellen der Druckerzeugnisse durchgeführt, wozu die Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung als unabhängiges Modul ausgebildet ist. Daher kann die Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung vorteilhaft sowohl separat als auch in Kombination mit verschiedenen zum Herstellen von Druckerzeugnissen dienenden Vorrichtungen eingesetzt werden.In one embodiment of the invention, reshaping, glueing, and bonding of the envelope to the brochure are performed independently of preceding or subsequent process steps of producing the printed matter in the spine processing apparatus, for which the spine processing device is formed as an independent module. Therefore, the spine processing apparatus may advantageously be used both separately and in combination with various apparatuses for producing printed products.

In einer nächsten Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung werden die Falzbogen vor dem Zuführen einer Broschur in die Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung, mit einer Mehrzahl von Anlegern auf eine Transport- und Heftlinie eines Sammelhefters abgelegt, gesammelt und mit einer Heftmaschine zur Broschur geheftet. Das in der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung hergestellte Druckerzeugnis wird nach dem Ausführen aus der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung einer Schneidmaschine zugeführt und dort beschnitten. Die Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung ist somit Bestandteil eines Sammelhefters und zwischen dessen Heft- und Schneidmaschine angeordnet. Dabei wird das Druckerzeugnis in der Schneidmaschine beschnitten, unabhängig davon, ob der Produktrücken umgeformt wurde oder nicht. Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren ermöglicht die Verwendung eines üblichen und an sich bekannten Sammelhefters, während die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung das Nachrüsten und Erweitern eines an sich bekannten Sammelhefters erlaubt. In beiden Fällen muss der Sammelhefter dazu im Wesentlichen nicht verändert werden. Da die Rückenbearbeitungsschritte ausserhalb des Sammelhefters, in einem eigenen Modul durchführbar sind, ist das Verfahren zudem auch prozesssicherer.In a next embodiment of the invention, the folded sheets are placed on a transport and stitching line of a saddle stitcher prior to feeding a brochure in the spine processing device, with a plurality of investors, collected and stapled to the brochure with a stapler. The printed matter produced in the spine processing apparatus is fed to a cutting machine after being cut from the spine processing apparatus and cut there. The spine processing device is thus part of a saddle stitcher and arranged between its stapling and cutting machine. The printed product is trimmed in the cutting machine, regardless of whether the product back has been reshaped or not. The inventive method allows the use of a conventional and known saddle stitcher, while the inventive device allows the retrofitting and expansion of a known saddle stitcher. In both cases, the saddle stitcher essentially does not need to be changed. Since the back machining steps outside of the saddle stitcher can be carried out in a separate module, the method is also more reliable.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung wird der in der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung stattfindende Bearbeitungsprozess wahlweise zugeschaltet, d.h. die Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung ist zum Sammelhefter zuschaltbar bzw. vom Sammelhefter abschaltbar ausgebildet. Weil das Umformen des Rückens sowie das Anbringen des Umschlags je nach Bedarf durchgeführt oder unterdrückt werden kann, ergibt sich mit diesem Verfahren und der entsprechenden Vorrichtung vorteilhaft eine höhere Flexibilität bei der Herstellung von Druckerzeugnissen. Mit dem Sammelhefter können somit die üblichen, gehefteten Broschuren oder alternativ die hochwertigen, gehefteten Druckerzeugnisse hergestellt werden.In a further embodiment of the invention, the processing process taking place in the spine processing device is selectively switched on, ie the spine processing device can be connected to the saddle stitcher or can be switched off by the saddle stitcher. Because the forming of the spine as well as the application of the cover can be performed or suppressed as required, this method and the corresponding device advantageously results in a higher flexibility in the production of printed products. With the saddle stitcher Thus, the usual stapled brochures or alternatively the high-quality, stapled printed products can be produced.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Bearbeitungsprozess in der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung bei Produktionsgeschwindigkeit des Sammelhefters produktgenau zugeschaltet oder unterdrückt wird. Damit ist ein exaktes Zusammenwirken von Sammelhefter und Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung und eine entsprechende Qualität der Druckerzeugnisse sichergestellt.According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the machining process in the back-processing device is switched on or suppressed with product accuracy at the production speed of the saddle stitcher. For an exact interaction of saddle stitcher and spine processing device and a corresponding quality of the printed products is ensured.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Arbeitsschritte in der unabhängigen Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung im Durchlauf erfolgen, d.h. das Umformen, das Beleimen und das Aufbringen des Umschlags werden fortlaufend durchgeführt. Die Produkte müssen somit bei der Verarbeitung nicht gestoppt und wieder angefahren werden. Dadurch ist eine wesentlich höhere Produktionsleistung und zudem ein schonender Transport möglich.According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the working steps in the independent back-processing device take place in the course, i. the forming, the gluing and the application of the envelope are carried out continuously. The products must therefore not be stopped during processing and restarted. As a result, a significantly higher production capacity and also a gentle transport is possible.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung über eine Weiche mit einer Transportstrecke des Sammelhefters verbunden ist, so dass die geheftete Broschur der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung über die Weiche zugeführt wird. Alternativ ermöglicht die Weiche eine Umgehung der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung in einer Art Bypass. Die geheftete Broschur kann demnach mittels der Weiche wahlweise in die Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung gefördert, dort umgeformt, beleimt und mit einem Umschlag versehen oder ohne diese Bearbeitungsschritte direkt weiter transportiert und beispielsweise in der Schneidmaschine direkt beschnitten werden. Dadurch ergibt sich eine höhere Flexibilität der Produktionsanlage. Unabhängig davon, ob die Bearbeitungsschritte Umformen, Beleimen und mit einem Umschlag versehen ausgeführt wurden oder nicht, sind Transportrichtung und Lage des Druckprodukts am Ausgang der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung identisch.According to a development of the invention it is provided that the spine processing device is connected via a switch with a transport path of the saddle stitcher, so that the stapled brochure of the spine processing device is supplied via the switch. Alternatively, the switch allows a bypass of the spine processing device in a kind of bypass. The stapled brochure can therefore be promoted by means of the switch either in the spine processing device, formed there, glued and provided with an envelope or directly transported without these processing steps and be trimmed directly in the cutting machine for example. This results in a higher flexibility of the production plant. Regardless of whether or not the processing steps of forming, gluing and enveloping have been carried out, the direction of transport and the position of the printed product at the outlet of the back-processing device are identical.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Broschur vor dem Umformen in einer Richtungsänderungs- und Aufrichtstrecke aufgerichtet und seitlich ausgerichtet wird. Zudem ist nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass der Rücken der Broschur zu einem im Wesentlichen eckigen Rücken umgeformt wird. Der Umschlag wird dann entsprechend auf den eckigen Rücken aufgeklebt und angepresst. Vorteilhaft weist das dabei entstandene Druckerzeugnis ebenfalls einen im Wesentlichen eckigen Rücken auf, der entweder bereits vor der Zufuhr des Umschlags zur zugehörigen Broschur entsprechend bedruckt oder beschriftet worden ist oder für eine nachgängige Beschriftung zur Verfügung steht. Mittels der Auslage wird das bearbeitete Druckerzeugnis in die ursprüngliche Transportrichtung sowie Produktlage versetzt und wieder in die Transportstrecke des Sammelhefters eingefügt.According to a development of the invention it is provided that the brochure is erected before forming in a direction change and Aufrichtstrecke and laterally aligned. In addition, according to a development of the invention, that the spine of the brochure is formed into a substantially angular spine. The envelope is then glued on the square back and pressed accordingly. Advantageously, the resulting printed product likewise has a substantially angular spine which has either been correspondingly printed or inscribed prior to the supply of the envelope for the associated brochure or is available for subsequent labeling. By means of the delivery, the processed printed product is shifted in the original transport direction and product position and reinserted into the transport path of the saddle stitcher.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung nacheinander Broschuren unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung zugeführt, die Broschuren in der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung zu entsprechend unterschiedlichen Druckerzeugnissen verarbeitet und diese aus der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung ausgeführt werden. Auf diese Weise ist die Kombination von Sammelhefter und Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung äusserst flexibel einsetzbar und kann auch zur Weiterverarbeitung nach einer Digitaldruckmaschine verwendet werden.According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the spine processing device successively fed brochures of different composition, the brochures processed in the spine processing device to correspondingly different printed products and these are executed from the spine processing device. In this way, the combination of saddle stitcher and spine processing device is extremely flexible and can also be used for further processing after a digital printing press.

Die Erfindung betrifft zudem einen Sammelhefter mit einer zugeschalteten Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung.The invention also relates to a saddle stitcher with a switched spine processing device.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen, der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie den Zeichnungen.Further advantageous features emerge from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Sammelstrecke 1, die in an sich bekannter Weise mehrere Anleger 2 aufweist, die entlang einer Transport- und Heftlinie 3 eines Sammelhefters 4 angeordnet sind und mit denen jeweils ein Falzbogen 5 (Fig. 4) von einem hier nicht gezeigten Stapel abziehbar und auf die Transport- und Heftlinie 3 abwerfbar ist. Die Falzbogen 5, auch Signaturen genannt, können dadurch zu einer Broschur 6 (Fig. 3) gesammelt werden.The FIG. 1 shows a collection line 1, which has a plurality of feeders 2 in a conventional manner, which are arranged along a transport and stitching line 3 of a saddle stitcher 4 and with each of which a folding sheet 5 (Fig. Fig. 4 ) is deductible from a stack, not shown here and on the transport and stapling line 3 can be dropped. The folded sheets 5, also called signatures, can thereby be converted into a brochure 6 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) to be collected.

In Figur 1 ist mit Pfeilen eine von rechts nach links verlaufende Transportrichtung 7 angedeutet. Die Broschuren 6 werden in einer an sich bekannten Heftmaschine 8 in Transportrichtung 7 weiter gefördert und jeweils an ihrem Rücken 9 mit mindestens einer Heftklammer 10 (Fig. 4) versehen. Nach der Heftmaschine 8 ist eine Schneidmaschine 11 angeordnet, die ebenfalls wie üblich ausgebildet sein kann und die beispielsweise ein Dreischneider ist. Mit einer solchen Schneidmaschine 11 kann an einem Druckerzeugnis ein Kopf-, Fuss- und Frontschnitt durchgeführt werden.In FIG. 1 is indicated by arrows a right-to-left direction of transport 7. The brochures 6 are conveyed further in a transporting direction 7 in a stapling machine 8 known per se and in each case at its back 9 with at least one staple 10 (FIG. Fig. 4 ) Mistake. After the stapling machine 8, a cutting machine 11 is arranged, which may also be formed as usual and which is for example a three-knife trimmer. With such a cutting machine 11, a head, foot and front section can be performed on a printed product.

Zwischen Heftmaschine 8 und Schneidmaschine 11 ist eine an die Transport- und Heftlinie 3 anschliessende Transportstrecke 12 des Sammelhefters 4 angeordnet. Ausgehend von dieser Transportstrecke 12 ist in den Papierprozess des Sammelhefters 4 eine Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung 13 geschaltet, in welcher eine in der Heftmaschine 8 geheftete Broschur 6 zu einem in Figur 4 gezeigten Druckerzeugnis 14 weiterverarbeitet werden kann.Between stapling machine 8 and cutting machine 11 is a subsequent to the transport and stapling line 3 transport path 12 of the saddle stitcher 4 is arranged. Starting from this transport section 12, a spine processing device 13 is connected in the paper process of the saddle stitcher 4, in which a leaflet 6 stapled in the stapling machine 8 to a in FIG. 4 shown printed product 14 can be further processed.

Das Druckerzeugnis 14 weist eine Mehrzahl von mit Heftklammern 10 zusammengehaltenen und in eine im Wesentlichen eckige Form umgeformte Falzbogen 5 auf. An der Aussenseite des äussersten Falzbogens 5 der Broschur 6 ist ein Umschlag 15 befestigt. Dazu wird auf den äussersten Falzbogen 5 und/oder den Umschlag 15 Leim 16 in Form einer Leimschicht aufgetragen, mit dem der Umschlag 15 an mindestens einem Teil und vorteilhaft auf der gesamten Länge des Rückens 9 der Broschur 6 mit dieser verbunden wird. Dabei ist die als U-förmige Seiten- und Rückenbeleimung dargestellte Leimschicht auch als reine Rücken- oder Seitenbeleimung denkbar.The printed product 14 has a plurality of folded sheets 5 held together by staples 10 and shaped into a substantially angular shape. On the outside of the outermost signature sheet 5 of the brochure 6 an envelope 15 is attached. For this purpose, glue 16 is applied in the form of a glue layer to the outermost folding sheet 5 and / or the envelope 15, with which the envelope 15 at least a part and advantageously over the entire length of the back 9 of the brochure 6 is connected to this. The glue layer shown as U-shaped side and Rückenbeleimung is conceivable as a pure back or side gluing.

Durch das Anbringen des Umschlags 15 an der eckig ausgeformten Broschur 6 ergibt sich am Druckerzeugnis 14 ebenfalls ein Rücken 9', der wie in Fig. 4 ersichtlich im Wesentlichen rechteckig und mit zwei parallel sowie im Abstand zueinander verlaufenden Kanten 17 ausgebildet ist. Der Rücken 9' besitzt somit eine äussere Stirnfläche 18, die beispielsweise bis zu 13 mm breit sein und bedruckt oder beschriftet sein kann. Der Aufdruck oder die Beschriftung erfolgt bereits bei der Herstellung des Umschlags 15 oder unmittelbar danach. Alternativ dazu kann das Druckerzeugnis 14 auch erst nach dem Zusammenfügen von Umschlag 15 und Broschur 6 auf seinem Rücken 9' beschriftet werden. Das Druckerzeugnis 14 kann dadurch ähnlich wie ein Buch in ein Bücherregal gestellt und dort anhand der auf dem Rücken 9' aufgebrachten Information identifiziert werden.By attaching the envelope 15 to the square shaped brochure 6 results in the printed product 14 also has a back 9 ', as in Fig. 4 can be seen substantially rectangular and with two parallel and spaced apart edges 17 is formed. The back 9 'thus has an outer end face 18, which can be, for example, up to 13 mm wide and printed or labeled. The imprint or the label takes place already during the production of the envelope 15 or immediately thereafter. Alternatively, the printed product 14 can also be labeled on the back 9 'only after the envelope 15 and the brochure 6 have been joined together. The printed product 14 can thus be placed in a bookshelf in a manner similar to a book and identified there on the basis of the information applied on the back 9 '.

Die Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung 13 besitzt gemäss Figur 2 eine U-förmige oder schlaufenförmige Transporteinrichtung 19, mit einem Eingangsbereich 19a und einem Ausgangsbereich 19b, auf welcher eine geheftete Broschur 6 in einer ersten Transportrichtung 20 zunächst von der Transportstrecke 12 weggeführt, dann zu einem Druckerzeugnis 14 weiterverarbeitet und schliesslich als Druckerzeugnis 14 in einer zweiten Transportrichtung 21 und mittels einer Auslage 22 wieder zur Transportstrecke 12 zurückgeführt wird. Natürlich kann die Transporteinrichtung 19 auch eine andere geeignete Form aufweisen. Die entsprechenden Arbeitsschritte zur Weiterverarbeitung werden im Durchlauf durchgeführt, so dass die zu bearbeitende Broschur 6 in der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung 13 weder angehalten noch erneut beschleunigt werden muss. Dazu sind die nachfolgend im Detail beschriebenen Bauteile der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung 13 in Reihe hintereinander angeordnet.The spine processing device 13 has according to FIG. 2 a U-shaped or loop-shaped transport device 19, with an input area 19a and an exit area 19b, on which a stapled brochure 6 in a first transport direction 20 initially led away from the transport path 12, then processed into a printed product 14 and finally as a printed product 14 in a second Transport direction 21 and is returned by means of a display 22 back to the transport path 12. Of course, the transport device 19 may also have another suitable shape. The corresponding steps for further processing are carried out in a continuous manner, so that the booklet 6 to be processed in the spine processing device 13 neither has to be stopped nor accelerated again. For this purpose, the components of the spine processing device 13 described in detail below are arranged in series one behind the other.

Die Transportstrecke 12 des Sammelhefters 4 ist mit dem Eingangsbereich 19a der Transporteinrichtung 19 über eine Weiche 23 verbunden. Je nach Art der vorgesehenen Weiterverarbeitung kann die Weiche 23 so eingestellt werden, dass eine geheftete Broschur 6 entweder der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung 13 oder über die in diesem Fall als eine Art Bypass genutzte Transportstrecke 12 direkt der Schneidmaschine 11 zugeführt wird. Die Umstellung der Weiche 23 erfolgt beispielsweise bei stillstehendem Sammelhefter 4 als Betriebsart-Umstellung. Ebenfalls denkbar ist eine mit dem Maschinentakt abgestimmte Umstellung der Weiche 23 bei voller Produktionsgeschwindigkeit.The transport path 12 of the saddle stitcher 4 is connected to the input area 19a of the transport device 19 via a switch 23. Depending on the nature of the intended further processing, the switch 23 can be adjusted so that a stapled Brochure 6 either the spine processing device 13 or via the used in this case as a kind of bypass transport path 12 is fed directly to the cutting machine 11. The changeover of the switch 23 takes place, for example, stationary saddle stitcher 4 as a mode changeover. Also conceivable is a coordinated with the machine cycle conversion of the switch 23 at full production speed.

Nach dem Eingangsbereich 19a der Transporteinrichtung 19 ist eine Richtungsänderungs- und Aufrichtstrecke 24 angeordnet, in welcher die über die Weiche 23 aus der Transportstrecke 12 ausgeschleuste Broschur 6 vorzugsweise senkrecht gestellt wird, wobei sich ihr Rücken 9 unten befindet. Im Wesentlichen gleichzeitig wird auch die Transportrichtung der Broschur 6 geändert, beispielsweise um etwa 90°. Die auf der Transportstrecke 12 vormals in einer Transportrichtung 25 geförderte Broschur 6 wird somit nach der Richtungsänderungs- und Aufrichtstrecke 24 im Wesentlichen in Transportrichtung 20 der Transporteinrichtung 19 gefördert. Anschliessend wird die Broschur 6 einer Umformeinrichtung 26 zugeführt und in ihrem Rückenbereich so umgeformt, dass dieser, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, eckig ist. Solche Umformeinrichtungen 26 sind an sich bekannt und weisen beispielsweise hier nicht dargestellte Rollen auf, zwischen denen die Broschur 6 hindurchgefördert wird. Um eine durchlaufende Weiterverarbeitung der Broschuren 6 zu gewährleisten, sind diese Rollen beispielsweise aufeinanderfolgend und mit immer kleiner werdendem Abstand zueinander angeordnet.After the entrance area 19a of the transport device 19, a direction change and Aufrichtstrecke 24 is arranged, in which the discharged via the switch 23 from the transport path 12 leaflet 6 is preferably placed vertically, with her back 9 is below. At substantially the same time, the transport direction of the brochure 6 is changed, for example by about 90 °. The brochure 6 previously conveyed on the transport path 12 in a transport direction 25 is thus conveyed essentially in the transport direction 20 of the transport device 19 after the direction change and erecting path 24. Subsequently, the brochure 6 is fed to a forming device 26 and reshaped in its back region so that this, as in Fig. 4 shown is angular. Such forming devices 26 are known per se and have, for example, roles not shown here, between which the brochure 6 is conveyed through. In order to ensure a continuous further processing of the brochures 6, these rollers are arranged, for example, successively and with ever decreasing distance from each other.

Nach der Umformeinrichtung 26 ist eine an sich bekannte, beispielsweise mit einer Leimwalze oder Leimdüse ausgestattete Leimstation 27 angeordnet, in welcher der eckig umgeformte Rücken 9 der Broschur 6 mit dem Leim 16 versehen wird. Dabei wird der Leim 16 an der in der Umformeinrichtung 26 entstandenen, ebenen Stirnfläche 18 des äussersten Falzbogens 5, sowie optional auf einem kurzen Abschnitt auf den beiden Seitenflächen aufgebracht. Solche Leimstationen sind dem Fachmann ebenfalls bekannt. Der Leim kann beispielsweise mittels einer Leimwalze oder eine Leimdüse aufgetragen werden. Alternativ zum Beleimen der Broschur 6 kann auch der Umschlag 15 kurz vor dem Zusammenführen mit der Broschur 6 auf seiner Innenseite beleimt werden.After the forming device 26 is a known per se, for example, equipped with a glue roller or Leimdüse size 27 is arranged, in which the angularly shaped back 9 of the brochure 6 is provided with the glue 16. In this case, the glue 16 is applied to the flat end face 18 of the outermost signature sheet 5, which is formed in the forming device 26, and optionally to a short section on the two side faces. Such glue stations are also known to the person skilled in the art. The glue can be applied for example by means of a glue roller or a glue nozzle. As an alternative to gluing the brochure 6, the envelope 15 can be glued on its inside just before merging with the brochure 6.

Nach der Leimstation 27 ist eine Anrolltrommel 28 angeordnet. Mit dieser wird jeweils ein mittels eines an sich bekannten, nicht dargestellten Umschlaganlegers zur Transporteinrichtung 19 zugeführter Umschlag 15, auf den umgeformten Rücken 9 der Broschur 6 aufgerollt. Der Umschlag 15 kann vorgängig gerillt werden, um eine definierte Umbruchstelle an den Kanten 17 zu erzielen. Der Abstand der beiden Rillungen richtet sich dabei nach der Dicke der Broschur 6.After the glue station 27, a curling drum 28 is arranged. With this one each by means of a known, not shown cover feeder to the transport device 19 supplied envelope 15, rolled up on the deformed spine 9 of the brochure 6. The envelope 15 may be previously grooved to achieve a defined point of break at the edges 17. The distance between the two grooves depends on the thickness of the brochure 6.

Nach der Anrolltrommel 28 ist eine an sich ebenfalls bekannte, mit Anpressrollen oder -bändern ausgestattete Pressvorrichtung 29 angeordnet, mit welcher der aufgerollte Umschlag 15 über den Rücken 9 der Broschur 6 gefalzt wird. Zudem wird die Kontaktfläche von Broschur 6 und Umschlag 15 abgepresst und dadurch eine geeignete Benetzung der zu verbindenden Papierflächen mit dem Leim 16 erreicht.After the Anrolltrommel 28 is also a known per se, equipped with pressure rollers or belts pressing device 29 is arranged, with which the rolled-up envelope 15 is folded over the back 9 of the brochure 6. In addition, the contact surface of brochure 6 and envelope 15 is pressed and thereby achieved a suitable wetting of the paper surfaces to be joined with the glue 16.

In einer anschliessenden Aufklappstation 30 werden Schenkel 15a des Umschlags 15 beidseitig in die in Figur 4 gezeigte Position hochgeklappt. Es ist denkbar, die Reihenfolge der Aufklappstation 30 und der Pressvorrichtung 29 zu vertauschen.In a subsequent Aufklappstation 30 legs 15a of the envelope 15 are on both sides in the in FIG. 4 shown folded up position. It is conceivable to reverse the order of the unfolding station 30 and the pressing device 29.

Die jeweils aus den mit dem Umschlag 15 versehenen Broschuren 6 bestehenden Druckerzeugnisse 14 werden in einer eine Transportrichtung 31 aufweisenden Umkehrtransportstrecke 32 um etwa 180° umgelenkt, wobei sie weiterhin mit dem Rücken 9' nach unten stehen. Die Umkehrtransportstrecke 32 dient im Wesentlichen dazu, die Druckerzeugnisse 14 wieder in Richtung der Transportstrecke 12 umzulenken. Die genaue Position der Umkehrtransportstrecke 32 innerhalb des Bearbeitungsablaufes ist nicht auf die beschriebene Anordnung fixiert. So kann sie beispielsweise auch zwischen der Umformeinrichtung 26 und der Leimstation 27 angeordnet sein.Each of the provided with the envelope 15 brochures 6 existing printed products 14 are deflected in a direction of transport 31 having reversing transport path 32 by about 180 °, where they continue with the back 9 'down. The reverse transport path 32 essentially serves to redirect the printed products 14 in the direction of the transport path 12. The exact position of the reverse transport path 32 within the processing sequence is not fixed to the described arrangement. For example, it can also be arranged between the shaping device 26 and the glue station 27.

Der Ausgangsbereich 19b der Transporteinrichtung 19 ist mit einer Niederlegestrecke 33 ausgestattet, auf welcher die mit der Stirnfläche 18 versehenen Druckerzeugnisse 14 in eine horizontale Lage gebracht werden. Im Anschluss daran erfolgt mit der vor oder im Ausgangsbereich 19b angeordneten Auslage 22 ein Richtungswechsel der liegenden Druckerzeugnisse 14 um 90°, so dass diese der Transportstrecke 12 übergeben werden können. Die Druckerzeugnisse 14 werden von der Auslage 22 so transportiert, dass ihr Rücken 9' während des Transports immer senkrecht zur Transportrichtung 25 der Transportstrecke 12 ausgerichtet ist. Geeignete Auslagen 22 sind dem Fachmann bekannt.The exit region 19b of the transport device 19 is provided with a downfeed path 33, on which the printed products 14 provided with the end face 18 are brought into a horizontal position. This is followed by a change of direction of the lying printed products 14 by 90 ° so that they can be transferred to the transport path 12 with the display 22 arranged in front of or in the exit area 19b. The printed products 14 are of the Delivery 22 transported so that its back 9 'is always aligned perpendicular to the transport direction 25 of the transport path 12 during transport. Suitable displays 22 are known in the art.

Schliesslich werden die Druckerzeugnisse 14 der Schneidmaschine 11 zugeführt und in dieser an mindestens einer Seite, vorteilhaft aber an Kopf-, Fuss- und Frontseite beschnitten.Finally, the printed products 14 of the cutting machine 11 are fed and cut in this at least one side, but advantageously at the top, bottom and front.

Die in Figur 3 gezeigte Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung 13' ist im Wesentlichen gleich ausgebildet wie die oben erwähnte Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung 13, jedoch in Transportrichtung 25 gesehen rechts von der Transportstrecke 12 angeordnet. Wie ersichtlich, kann eine geheftete Broschur 6 wahlweise über die brückenartige Transportstrecke 12 transportiert und beispielsweise in einer hier nicht gezeigten Schneidmaschine 11 beschnitten oder aber in der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung 13' wie oben erläutert bearbeitet werden. Bis zum Eingangsbereich 19a wird die Broschur 6 in horizontaler Lage transportiert. Bei der Bearbeitung in der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung 13' wird die Broschur 6 in eine vertikale Lage gebracht, wobei sich der geheftete Rücken 9 unten befindet und die Broschur 6 in Transportrichtung 20, d.h. im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur Transportrichtung 25 der Transportstrecke 12 gefördert wird. Die nachfolgenden Bearbeitungsmittel und Bearbeitungsschritte entsprechen denjenigen der Rückenbearbeitungsvorrichtung 13. Die mit einem Pfeil dargestellte Transportrichtung 31 zeigt den um etwa 180° erfolgenden Richtungswechsel in der Umkehrtransportstrecke 32, so dass die mit dem Umschlag 15 versehene Broschur 6 als Druckerzeugnis 14 wieder in Richtung der Transportstrecke 12 transportiert wird. Im anschliessenden Ausgangsbereich 19b erfolgt mittels der Auslage 22 eine 90°-Umlenkung der vertikal ausgerichteten Druckerzeugnisse 14, welche nach diesem Richtungswechsel immer noch stehend transportiert werden. In einer mittels eines Pfeils angedeuteten Transportrichtung 34 ist stromab der Auslage 22 die Niederlegestrecke 33 angeordnet, auf der die Druckerzeugnisse 14 in eine horizontale Ausrichtung gebracht und schliesslich zur Transportstrecke 12 gefördert werden. Dort erfolgt der Weitertransport der Druckerzeugnisse 14 dann in Transportrichtung 25, beispielsweise zur Schneidmaschine 11.In the FIG. 3 shown spine processing device 13 'is substantially the same design as the above-mentioned spine processing device 13, but seen in the transport direction 25 right of the transport path 12. As can be seen, a stapled brochure 6 can optionally be transported over the bridge-like transport path 12 and trimmed, for example, in a cutting machine 11, not shown here, or processed in the spine processing device 13 'as explained above. Up to the entrance area 19a, the brochure 6 is transported in a horizontal position. When processing in the spine processing device 13 ', the brochure 6 is brought into a vertical position, wherein the stapled back 9 is below and the brochure 6 in the transport direction 20, that is conveyed substantially perpendicular to the transport direction 25 of the transport path 12. The following processing means and processing steps correspond to those of the spine processing device 13. The direction of transport 31 shown by an arrow shows the 180 ° directional change in the reverse transport path 32, so that provided with the envelope 15 brochure 6 as printed product 14 again in the direction of the transport path 12th is transported. In the subsequent exit area 19b, a deflection of the vertically aligned printed products 14 takes place by means of the delivery 22, which are still transported standing after this change of direction. In a direction indicated by an arrow transport direction 34, the Niederlegestrecke 33 is disposed downstream of the display 22, placed on the printed matter 14 in a horizontal orientation and finally conveyed to the transport path 12. There, the further transport of the printed products 14 then takes place in the transport direction 25, for example to the cutting machine 11.
