EP2465699A2 - Stack or collection of essentially flat semifinished products and method for producing such a stack or such a collection - Google Patents

Abstract

The stack or collection structure comprises several precursors (11-14) which are arranged directly one above the other and detachably interconnected with each other. One of the precursors having folded edges (11a-14a) is releasably connected between the adjacent precursors which are contacted with each other using the adhesive regions (15-18). An independent claim is included for manufacturing method of stack or collection structure of flat precursors.

Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to the field of post-press processing. It relates to a stack or a collection of substantially flat precursors according to the preamble of claim 1. It further relates to a method for producing such a stack or such a collection.

STATE OF THE ART

In the present day, advertising materials such as brochures, flyers, catalogs, leaflets, direct mail, but also samples, CDs, etc. are being distributed directly by special service providers. In the process, advertising materials from different providers are often combined and distributed together in order to keep distribution costs low. The jointly distributed advertising or preliminary products then form a stack of loosely superimposed (individual) individual copies or a collection of contiguous individual copies, which must be assembled, for example, from the distributor in each case at the place of delivery by hand. However, this type of compilation is time-consuming and error-prone, so that in the formed stacks or collections either certain advertising materials are included multiple times or missing completely.

Under stacks are understood here basically compilations of precursors, which are superimposed and held together by gravity. If the precursors are oriented in a different spatial orientation, for example vertically to one another, they are also referred to here as a collection. The invention relates to such different types of compilations of precursors.

But it is also conceivable that the stack of precursors are formed in a central location and then fed to the distribution, as for example in the WO2010 / 051651 A2 the applicant is disclosed. In this case, slippage of the precursors within a stack or mixing of stacks may easily occur during distribution unless special precautions are taken to hold the individual stacks together and separate them from one another.

Thus, it is possible, for example, to provide the stack formed from the advertising means or precursors with a welded film wrapping in order to hold the stack together and delimit it from other stacks. Such additional packaging of the stacks simplifies the distribution considerably, but causes a relevant additional expense and is possibly undesirable from an environmental point of view. In addition, the most sealed foil bags from the end user are only cumbersome to open and the overall impression depending on the material is not particularly aesthetic.

The stacks can also be tied or otherwise bundled, for example by means of an envelope. Thus, it would be conceivable, for example, to combine the stack of preliminary products with a wrapper, as for example from the publication CH 461 248 is known. However, this largely results in the same disadvantages as mentioned above.

Furthermore, it is from the document EP 0 666 186 A1 known to insert precursors in a folded newspaper, which then acts as an envelope for the inserted precursors and then closed by means of one or more adhesive strips (see also the WO 2007/067325 A2 ). This requires either the provision of a newspaper or the provision of a separate envelope, which in turn significantly increases the expense.

Finally, it is known ( US 5,096,176 ) to separate individual sub-stacks of sheets of other sub-stacks in a larger total stack by non-adhesive paper strips (column 1, lines 58-62) are placed as a separating strip around an edge of the respective sub-stack. This is to prevent the separating strips, which are otherwise laid flat between two partial stacks, from being displaced. This type of non-connecting parting strip is only suitable for separation within the overall stack because the parting strips fall off immediately when a partial stack is transported by itself or otherwise handled individually.

Another problem arises when several precursors are to be inserted as supplements in a folded newspaper. In the publication DE 37 05 257 A1 the applicant is described as in a plant first, the folded newspaper is inserted into corresponding compartments with the folded edge down and opened there, then successively insert the feeders successively insert the inserts one after the other in the open newspaper. The supplemented newspaper is then gripped by the grippers of a removal conveyor and carried away. If the inserting of the inserts in accordance with the high production speed of the newspaper coming directly from the rotary printing machine, the supplements must be previously produced and cached separately, for example in the form of roles for each type of supplement, and then be stored again when plugging ,

A clear simplification would result if - for example with an installation according to the above W02010 / 051651 A2 the applicant - first complete stack of all provided for a newspaper supplements or precursors would be formed, which then, again in the form of rolls or the like., Cached and finally stored when plugged into the newspaper.

However, such caching fails because the assembled to a stack inserts or precursors taken by themselves do not have enough cohesion to be cached without problems and re-stored.

In a completely different technical field, namely that of multiple packaging for liquids, multiple packaging has been proposed ( EP 0 631 946 ), in which the individual soft packs are to be held together with both manufacturing technology and material minimal effort. The proposed there connection of the individual soft packs by adhesive dots or splices of a hot melt adhesive should be completely sufficient for the usual stresses during transport, storage, the availability in the shelves of shops and handling by the customer until it separates the packages from each other. Unlike multi-leaflet printed products such as brochures, the soft packs are self-contained, self-stable bodies that can not fan out or fold over or otherwise become dimensionally unstable. Problems concerning the place and type of application as well as the present product-specific requirements differ fundamentally from the local technology area of print finishing.

This applies even more to multiple packaging with dimensionally stable packaging units, such as those in the US 3,759,373 or the US 3,902,992 are disclosed.

On the other hand, it is known in the art of making blocks of similar, single sheets of paper of the same size (sets of forms, notepads, sticky note pads, etc.) to bond the individual sheets of paper together with an adhesive which is either placed in holes punched out at the edge ( see eg the DE 1 946 249 or the GB 2,106,033 ) or on one or both sides of edges of the paper sheets is applied, which are then placed on each other and glued together (see, eg US 2006/0065347 ). Such a type of binding is limited in the prior art to stacks of individual paper sheets of the same size and the same thickness. In addition, there are no solutions for precursors with continuous-sequential processing in the context of postpress.

In the field of print finishing, adhesive bonding methods are used, for example, where (folded) partial products are collected by superimposing them (see, for example, US Pat EP 0 409 770 A2 the applicant) or where individual supplements are inserted in a newspaper or a comparable printed product and fixed there (see, eg, the EP 1 780 035 A2 the applicant).

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a prefabricated stack or a prefabricated collection of partially folded flat precursors same or different format, which are easy to manufacture, can be easily handled in a further processing and later readily back into the individual precursors disassemble. It is a further object of the invention to provide a method for producing such stacks or collections.

The objects are achieved by the features of claims 1 and 6.

The stack or the collection of substantially flat precursors according to the invention comprises three or more precursors, which are arranged directly above one another in the stack or in the collection immediately adjacent to each other and releasably connected to each other, and of which at least one is a precursor which a Has folded edge. They are characterized in that adhesive regions which are in contact with both neighboring precursors are provided for detachable connection between adjacent precursors.

For the understanding of the invention, it is essential that, unlike other adhesive bonds of printed products, this is aligned to the above-mentioned precursors in the context of a continuously running further processing or a logistical overall process. These form autonomous finished units both in terms of content and format, which are isolated again and used separately by the end user. Unlike e.g. In bookbinding, the precursors are thus not matched to one another and, in the prior art, have hitherto been handled completely individually as part of further processing.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the adhesive areas are formed as local adhesive dots and / or local adhesive beads and / or double-sided adhesive elements.

In particular, the adhesive areas or adhesive spots or adhesive beads have been applied by means of a dispensing device. Such Dispensiervorrichtungen that apply the adhesive with pressure and / or temperature support out of a nozzle, are known from the prior art. The adhesive areas can also be applied by rolling or by printing using a suitable printing device.

Another embodiment is characterized in that the adhesive areas or adhesive dots or adhesive beads contain an adhesive that allows a later separation of the interconnected precursors without damaging these precursors. Such adhesives are widely known in the art. Furthermore, adhesive elements or adhesive areas can be used which have locally different release properties.

A further embodiment is characterized in that the precursors have excellent edges that the precursors in the stack or in the collection so one above the other or arranged side by side, that the excellent edges of the precursors in the stack or in the collection form a common edge, and that the adhesive areas or adhesive beads or adhesive beads are arranged distributed along and near the common edge. In particular, the folded edges of folded precursors form such excellent edges, which substantially facilitate the connection of the precursors to a readily manageable unit.

In particular, the individual precursors of the stack are different in format and / or thickness and / or product type. The precursors can also be all the same in special cases.

Furthermore, in particular at least one of the precursors is a printed product.

The inventive method for producing a stack or a collection is characterized in that in a first step, a first precursor is provided that is provided in a second step, the provided first precursor on at least one side at predetermined locations with adhesive areas that in a third step, at least one second precursor is detachably connected to the first precursor by means of the applied adhesive areas, and that the steps two and three are repeated with further precursors until the desired stack or collection is assembled and interconnected.

The precursors are preferably provided locally with the adhesive regions by means of a dispensing device. The adhesive areas can also be applied by rolling or by printing using a suitable printing device.

In particular, the adhesive areas are applied as adhesive dots and / or adhesive beads and / or adhesive elements.

In this case, an adhesive is advantageously used, which allows a later separation of the interconnected precursors without damaging these precursors.

In particular, the adhesive regions can be applied with an adhesive in such a way that the adhesive subsequently dissolves only on one predetermined side during the later separation of the stack into the individual precursors or the adhesive region remains completely on only one of the two precursors, while the other precursor is free of adhesive is. But it is also conceivable that divide the adhesive areas during separation and on each of the two precursors a part of it remains.

In particular, for confectioning of the stack or collections a confectioning device can be used, which is designed in the manner of a circulating transport device, being provided on the overhead Hinlauf successive, oblique compartments available and fed to feeders from the corresponding pre-product stocks the Introduce precursors for stacking successively in the desired order in the compartments, and wherein between two stations in each case the adhesive areas are applied to the respective upper precursor. Comparable devices for stacking or packaging are from the publications WO 2010051651 and WO 2010051650 According to a further development of the method according to the invention, the compiled stacks or collections of the precursors bonded to one another are respectively inserted into another preliminary product, in particular printed product, as is comparable in the document WO 2009143645 It is advantageous if the compiled stacks or collections of the interconnected interconnected precursors are first cached, and the cached stack or collections are stored out at a later time and plugged into the other preliminary products. This makes it possible to manufacture the stack or for Collection of decoupled precursors from the production of other precursors, which accommodate the stack or collections to decouple.

In particular, the stacks or collections can be wound up in a proven manner to a winding and stored as a roll, wherein the stacks or collections can be wound in the form of a scale flow or at a distance from each other to the winding. Corresponding winding methods and devices are in the documents EP 1 252 083 and EP 1 494 949 the applicant. BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

WAYS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Fig. 1 shows in a simplified exploded view several prepared for inventive collection, folded precursors 11-14, which are provided according to an embodiment of the invention with adhesive dots 15, 16 and / or adhesive beads 17, 18 (dashed) before connecting to a stack (10 in Fig. 2 ). For the sake of simplicity, the precursors 11-14 shown in the example are all of the same type but with different formats. They are all folded along a folded edge 11a-14a and here are the same thickness. The uppermost precursor 11 has a smaller format than the other precursors 12-14, which all have the same larger format. It goes without saying that not only can the primary products differ in terms of format, but they can also be of different types and thicknesses and of different materials. Thus, individual of the preliminary products may be a card, a leaflet or a CD or a sample, or the like.

To form the stack 10 or a corresponding collection, the individual precursors 11-14 are aligned relative to one another with a selected edge, which in the present example is preferably the folded edge 11a-14a of the precursors 11-14, so that the stack 10 is uniform overall Edge forms at which the stack 10 in the context of further treatment or handling well and safely can be taken. This is particularly advantageous if the precursors differ greatly in their format.

The connection of the precursors 11-14 to the stable stack 10 is achieved by local application of a suitable adhesive in the form of one or more adhesive dots 15, 16 and / or adhesive beads 17, 18 (in FIG Fig. 1 dashed lines) by means of a corresponding dispensing device (19, 20 in Fig. 3 ) causes. Adhesive dots 15, 16 arise above all when the dispensing devices 19, 20 are essentially at rest relative to the precursor during the application of adhesive. If, on the other hand, the precursor is moved with sufficient speed when the adhesive is applied relative to the dispensing devices 19, 20, elongate adhesive beads 17, 18 result which, depending on the direction of movement, can be aligned parallel, transversely or obliquely to the folded edge 11a-14a. Of course, it is also conceivable, instead of the adhesive beads 17, 18 apply a series of successive adhesive dots when the dispensers 19, 20 are alternately up and controlled during movement, or to produce a bead of adhesive by movement of the dispensing devices 19, 20.

The application of the adhesive is preferably carried out in the immediate vicinity of the selected edges in order to achieve the lowest possible optical disturbance of the precursors after their subsequent separation. The glue can - as in Fig. 1 shown - each applied to only one side of a precursor, this page always has the same orientation. If the application of adhesive begins on the preliminary product 14 which lies at the bottom of the stack, the uppermost precursor 11 of the stack can remain without adhesive application in this type of application. But it is also conceivable to provide individual precursors on both sides with adhesive. It is essential that a total of between each two adjacent precursors of the stack always an adhesive order is present.

Depending on the type of adhesive used, the procedure is different. If the adhesive is a hot melt or hot melt adhesive, the precursors in the stack must be merged before the adhesive cools. If the adhesive is a contact adhesive, it is applied on both sides and the precursors are later pressed together briefly. But it can also be used PUR adhesive, as they are used in bookbinding application. Furthermore, various types of 1-component adhesive or 2-component adhesive can be used. Within the scope of the invention, however, it is also conceivable to use and apply double-sided adhesive film or film pieces as adhesive regions for joining adjacent precursors in the manner of a double-sided adhesive tape ("adhesive elements" in the form of an adhesive tape section, point, ring or other geometry). , which are fed for example on a carrier tape, detached from the carrier tape and then applied.

Particularly advantageous are those adhesives that enable a later release of the precursors of each other without damaging the precursors involved. In this way, it can be ensured that the external appearance, which is particularly important for printed products, is not or only insignificantly impaired by the bonding. In this case, the adhesiveness, especially when using a double-sided adhesive element, can be selectively selected depending on the page, so that the adhesive area on a precursor separates (in particular on the respective upper side of a FIG. 2 shown precursor, ie on the cover sheet) and adhering to the other precursor (in FIG. 2 in the example mentioned thus on the respective top product on the back). In this way, it can be influenced according to the invention that the cover sheet page relevant for the respective preliminary product is unaffected by the end customer or reader when the collection is dissolved, ie without disturbing adhesive residues. The same can also be achieved by suitably applying an adhesive area, for example by an adhesive which has special adhesive properties depending on the temporal application (for example due to corresponding temperature fluctuations). So can procedurally by applying the adhesive area on first the upper precursor can be achieved at a temperature T ₁ and then combined with a lower precursor at an adhesive temperature T _{2 of} this result. In particular, when using this advantageous effect shows that each of the precursors in the stack or the collection in the context of the invention has a separate and autonomous or individual importance (including arrangement and orientation of the individual precursors). Out FIG. 2 is also visible that the collection according to the invention requires no cover and that both the top and the bottom precursor on the visible surface are free of any aids and the collection still has the desired releasable cohesion.

Fig. 3 shows various steps in the connection of the precursors to a stack according to the invention. Starting from a stack in the lowest lying first precursor 14 ( Fig. 3a ), a first application of adhesive in the form of adhesive dots 15, 16 with the corresponding dispensing devices 19 and 20 is carried out on the upper side of this first precursor 14 ( Fig. 3b ). The closest precursor 13 can then be adhered to the precursor 14 and connected to it ( Fig. 3c ). On top of the second precursor 13 are then in turn applied in the same way adhesive dots 15, 16, which are then connected to the in Fig. 3 not shown next precursor serve. The sequence of steps shown is repeated for so long (see also 3e and 3f ) until the entire stack of precursors is completed. However, it is equally conceivable that a different order is adhered to by the adhesive application is carried out in each case on the underside of the top of the stack placed precursor, while the top of the underlying precursor remains free of an adhesive application.

For their part, the precursors that have been combined to form the stack 10 can themselves already have inserted additional precursors 21, as shown in FIG 3e and 3f for the precursor 12 placed on the stack as the next precursor.

Although a stepwise application of the adhesive areas (including adhesive elements) or stepwise attachment of the precursors is provided as described above, in a variant of the method also a (nearly) simultaneous application to the precursors and a (approximately) simultaneous arrest of the three or more printed products are provided. This can be done for example by gathering the collection, a wide fanning out the aligned edges and introducing the adhesive areas in or between the precursors.

An exemplary confectioning device 25 for connecting the precursors 11-14 to a corresponding stack 10 is shown in FIG Fig. 6 shown schematically. The packaging device 25 is designed in the manner of a circulating belt-like transport device. This transport device runs in Fig. 6 counterclockwise continuously. Successive sloping compartments 26 are provided on the overhead trace and are fed past feeders which, from respective precursor stocks 22a, 22b, sequentially introduce the precursors 11, 12 into the compartments 26 for stacking in the desired order, with between two Stations are each applied by means of appropriate dispensing 19 adhesive dots or adhesive areas on the respective upper precursor (for the sake of simplicity, only two of the three or more precursors 11 and 12 are shown).

If the stacks 10 are finished at the end of the trace, they are gripped by the compartments 26 associated grippers 27 and transported in the downstairs return to a removal conveyor 28 on the right edge of the image, then the stack zufü further use ht.

The finished in the manner described stack 10 according Fig. 2 can be further processed or further processed in a variety of ways. That's the way it is conceivable to bundle the stack 10 and / or to palletize and deliver to end users. But it is also conceivable, the stack 10 rolled up in a cache, for example, in a scaly formation to a winding or combined in a larger stack, to cache them later to save again and continue to use as part of a process of print finishing. In 4 and FIG. 5 an example of such a procedure is shown in a highly simplified form.

The thus formed stack 10 or collections are particularly in high-speed processes (processing on the order of five, ten or more products per second) or in complex formed stacks of great advantage, especially if an exact mutual alignment of the precursors in further processing of importance or if in a further processing step there is the undesirable possibility of "mixing" the precursors of a collection with those of other collections or a situation with problematic re-separation of adjacent collections.

In Fig. 4 is assumed by already finished stacks 10. The finished stack 10 are transported by means of a transport device 24 in a scale flow to a known winding device and wound there to form a winding 23. But it can also according to Fig. 5 instead of a scale flow of stacks 10, the stacks 10 are wound separately from each other to form a winding 23.

This process can be performed on newspaper printing during the day at a time when no newspaper is printed. In this way, employees and devices that are otherwise busy in newspaper printing, can be used for packing the stack.

Runs then later the newspaper printing, the stack 10, which in this case contain as precursors supplements for the newspaper, by unrolling the reel 23 again (collection-separated, ie with a very easy way, the collections again to be precisely separated) stored and be plugged into the open past newspapers or other printed products. This results in comparison to the insertion of the individual precursors or supplements, as described in the cited document DE 37 05 257 A1 is described, the advantage that the Ausspeichern the precursors must not be operated and monitored individually by assigned persons, but that a person is sufficient to operate the insertion process and monitor. This is particularly important during the current newspaper printing of particular importance, because during this time the printing process with its subsequent further processing requires the full attention of the operating staff. By stacking and caching to an upstream date so the complex operation and monitoring of the individual feed conveyor can be done at a time in which not all forces are required for the newspaper printing.

Fig. 7 shows a plug-in device 29, which is suitable for inserting the stack 10 in a newspaper 35 or a comparable printed product. The insertion device 29 comprises a rotating around a machine axis M supporting elements drum 30, in which by a provided with grippers 34 circulating conveyor 33, the newspapers 35 are introduced in a continuous order. Upon entering the support drum 30, the down-hanging newspapers 35 held at the seaming edge are spread open by means of an opening device 31 and kept open by inserting support elements 32 into the open newspapers 35 on further rotation in the support drum 30, so that with a subsequent feed conveyor 36, the stack 10 individual can be inserted into the open newspapers 35.
