- an inserting station with essential features mentioned above, for example from FIG. 1 of DE 100 15 755 Cl.
- the known construction of an inserting station of this type provides that the envelope conveying device, starting from an envelope separating device, has a parallel course to the conveyor track for the conveyance of the inserts or insert sets and provides at its end alignment means in the form of stops adjustable to the envelope format, such that the envelope intermediate conveying device, which in the known inserting station has a conveying direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying path, takes over an envelope conveyed by the envelope conveying device in a precisely aligned state and by clamping it between an envelope conveyor belt guided over an inserting table on the one hand and a roller bar that can be lowered onto it on the other hand again transported to a precise position in front of the insertion device and stopped there, so that after the aforementioned roller bar has been lifted, the envelope is filled with supplements or a supplement sets can be carried out, after which the roller bar is lowered onto the filled envelope again, the envelope conveyor
- the object of the present invention is to provide an inserting station with the features of the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that, while maintaining the favorable positioning possibility for the operator, the effort for aligning the envelopes to be filled is simplified on the way between the envelope separating device and the insertion device becomes.
- the inserting station specified here should also be suitable for increased work speeds and should work reliably at such increased work speeds of, for example, more than 12,000 work cycles per hour.
- the invention is based on the finding that, in the case of coupling which varies in sections and of different strengths between the respective envelope conveying devices and by providing an oblique course of a conveying section, the envelopes can finally be aligned simultaneously with respect to two coordinate axes in a single operation in front of the insertion device, without that a precise pre-alignment would have to take place beforehand on intermediate sections of the envelope conveying.

- conveyor track plate 1 contains below a conveyor track plate 1, in a known manner, mounted and driven endless, revolving conveyor chains 2 and 3, which are provided with conveyor fingers 5 in a generally known manner, so that conveyor finger pairs lying next to one another, from the respective upper strand Apply conveyor chains over the conveyor belt plate 1, define insert compartments into which supplements or insert sets can be inserted into the insert compartments along the course of the feed device Z formed by the conveyor chains and be moved in the direction of arrow Pl toward the inserting station.
- the conveyor chains 2 and 3 can be driven intermittently or continuously.
- an envelope feed device extends, which is generally designated 6 in FIG. 1.
- the envelope conveying device 6 connects to an envelope separating device 7, in which a sequence of isolated envelopes is generated from a stack of envelopes from envelopes that are inserted standing upright.
- the envelope conveying device 6 picks up this sequence of isolated envelopes and transports them essentially lying flat in a horizontal plane on a group of endless, rotating drive belts 8 guided over rollers and driven rollers, the envelopes to be transported being pressed by pressure rollers or pressure rollers 9 and 10 are loaded on their upper side and held in frictional contact on the upper rubble of the drive belt 8.
- an envelope flap opening station 11 which is shown only schematically in FIG. 1 and which has the effect that first the closed, leading edge of an envelope under the pressure roller 9, the envelope flap opening station 11 and the pressure roller 10 runs through, but then the envelope flap, which is still above the envelope opening, gets caught under the fingers of the envelope flap opening station pointing backwards, and the envelope is further conveyed by the conveyor belt 8 and the pressure roller 10 with the flap lying flat.
- the opened envelopes are conveyed in by the conveyor belt 8 and by the pressure roller 10 under a cover plate 12.
- the cover plate 12 can have a bend 13 on its upstream edge.
- the cover plate 12, which is preferably fastened to the frame of the envelope conveying device 6 in an adjustable manner, has the effect that that part of a conveyed envelope which has left the gap between the conveyor belts 8 and the pressure roller 10 gently abuts the upper debris of the conveyor belts 8 is held, the conveyor belts 8 being continuously returned in the conveying direction at the limit indicated by a dash-dotted line 14 below the cover plate around rollers.
- an intermediate envelope conveying table 15 of an intermediate envelope conveying device 16 In front of the end of the envelope conveying device 6 and the end of the conveyor track plate 1 of the feeding device, there is an intermediate envelope conveying table 15 of an intermediate envelope conveying device 16.
- This intermediate envelope conveying table 15 is provided below the table level with fastening cheeks 17 and 18 which run parallel to the conveying direction of the envelope conveying device 6 and over which the intermediate envelope conveying table 15 in Direction parallel to the conveying direction of the envelope conveyor 6 for adjustment to different envelope formats can be pulled away from the envelope conveyor 6 or pushed onto it and fixed in the respective position.
- the leading edge of a conveyed envelope which is at least substantially oriented transversely to the conveying direction of the envelope conveying device 6, then reaches the intermediate envelope conveying table 15 when the trailing parts of the envelope including the envelope flap already leave the gap between the upper strands of the conveyor belt 8 and the pressure roller 10 have, so the envelope is only held by the support on the cover plate 12 in contact with the upper rubble of the conveyor belt 8 and thus continues to move in the conveying direction of the envelope conveyor 6.
- the significance of this design of the end section of the envelope conveyor 6 adjacent to the intermediate envelope conveyor 16 results from the following considerations.
- Elongated cutouts 20 and 21 are located in the intermediate envelope conveying table 15, which begin near the edge of the intermediate envelope conveying table 15 adjacent to the cover plate 12 of the envelope conveying device 6 and extend approximately diagonally over the surface of the intermediate envelope conveying table 15.
- the angle of the central longitudinal axis of the cutouts 20, 21 with respect to the conveying direction of the envelope conveying device 6 is denoted by a and is in the range from 15 ° to 75 °, an angle range from 40 ° to 50 ° being preferred.
- the axes of rotation of the counter-holding rollers 22a and further counter-holding rollers 26 mounted on the holder 24, as well as the axes of rotation of the rollers of the conveyor belts 22 and 23 and the axes of rotation of the drive rollers, which are coupled to a drive 27, all have an orientation orthogonal to one another have the central longitudinal axes of the elongated cutouts 20 and 21, that is to say they all have an angle of a -f 90 ° with respect to the conveying direction of the envelope conveying device 6 with reference to a projection onto the level of the intermediate envelope conveying table 15.
- an angular stop arrangement which consists of a stop ruler 30 which can be lowered by means of a drive 29 and a stop pin 32 which can be lowered by means of a drive 31.
- a common actuation drive can also be provided for the stop ruler 30 and the stop pin 32. If the stop ruler 30 and the stop pin 32 are raised above the level of the intermediate intermediate conveying table 12, as shown in FIG. 1, the angle stop arrangement is activated.
- An ineffective circuit can either provide for the lowering of both the stop ruler 30 and the stop pin 32 or can also be carried out in such a way that either the stop ruler 30 or the stop pin 32 alone is deactivated, that is to say lowered in the present example, depending on whether after If an envelope conveyed by the intermediate envelope conveying device 16 approaches the angular stop, the conveyance continues in the oblique direction according to the arrow P2 or parallel to the conveying direction of the envelope conveying device 6 according to the arrow P3 or perpendicularly according to the arrow P4.
- the conveyor belts 22 and 23 do not necessarily have to be stopped, but rather can be kept in circulation by means of the drive 27, so that an envelope started against the angle stop arrangement remains in the alignment position on the stops.
- An additional fixation of the aligned envelope on the surface of the intermediate intermediate conveying table 15 can be provided, for example by a vacuum suction device or the like.
- the conveyor chains 2 and 3 of the feed device which are occupied by the conveyor fingers 5, are forward of their respective sprockets at their front end of their rotation with respect to the conveyor device the edge of the intermediate envelope conveyor table 15 is deflected, the longitudinal slots in the conveyor track plate 1 also ending sufficiently in front of the edge of the intermediate envelope conveyor table 15 in all possible setting positions of the intermediate envelope conveyor device 16, such that the conveyor fingers 5 are undisturbed by the circulation of the conveyor chains 2 and 3 Lower the position of the intermediate envelope conveyor below the level of the conveyor track plate 1 and can run back to the beginning of the conveyor.
- the conveyor track plate 1 can be provided in its front area, which is not shown in the drawing, along the edge facing the envelope conveyor 6 with a slight bend to insert the envelope parts and envelope flap into the gap between the conveyor track plate 1 and the top of the To facilitate envelope intermediate conveyor table 15 similar to the function as described in connection with the bend 13 of the cover plate 12.
- the inserts or insert sets are inserted into the open envelope, which is aligned and aligned in a precise position, by means of an insertion device 35, which is indicated by a dash-dot line in FIGS. 1 and 2 as a block symbol.
- the push-in device 35 is of a type which has sets of push-in fingers which extend from the top downwards to the level of the upper side of the conveyor track plate 1 when they are in a working stroke pointing in the conveying direction of the feed device, the paths of the push-in fingers being next to or run between the tracks of the conveyor fingers 5 such that the insertion fingers of the insertion device 35 remove an insert or insert set from its position in front of a pair of conveyor fingers 5 of the feed device in the working stroke and then insert it into the opened envelope during the working stroke. If the feed device Z works continuously, then
- the speed of the insertion fingers of the insertion device J25l selected in the working stroke so that the insertion fingers overtake the conveyor finger pair 5 and in this way create a sufficient distance between the conveyor finger pair and the trailing edge of the insert or the insert set, so that the conveyor fingers have the possibility of themselves to lower below the level of the conveyor track plate 1 at the front end of their upper track without disturbing the operation. If the insert or insert set is inserted into the envelope, the insert fingers are raised above the level of the conveyor track plate and returned to a starting position in a return stroke.
- the insertion fingers can have the shape of flags on endless, circulating belts which are guided over driven rollers and rollers, such that the flags are brought up at the end of the working stroke over the front rollers in the insertion direction and along the respective upper run of the belts into the starting position are returned, in which the outer ends of the flags are then lowered again to the level of the top of the conveyor track plate.
- Carrier of the three-link gearbox mounted shaft for mounting pivotable insertion fingers that can be lowered onto the conveyor track plate surfaces and lifted off the return stroke.
- an envelope conveyed by the inserting station specified here leaves a fixed clamping for the first time to prevent envelope movements in the envelope plane transverse to the conveying direction as soon as the trailing edge of the open envelope flap has run away under the counter-holding roller 10, after which the envelope is again firmly clamped in order to prevent lateral movements transverse to the new conveying direction when the leading edge of the envelope has come under the counter-holding rollers 22a of the holder 24 which are prestressed against the conveyor belts 22.
- this firm clamping of the envelope is increasingly released when the envelope only runs under the counter-holding rollers 26 and finally comes completely free of the counter-holding rollers of the holder 24. Nevertheless, the envelope finally comes into its precise position when it starts up against the angle stop arrangement. Side guides are not required on the envelope conveyor path just outlined. There are no malfunctions even at increased working speeds.
- the hold-down plate 12 can be provided with cages for ball rolling elements 36, which exert a certain pressing force on the envelope passing between the upper rubble of the conveyor belt 8 and the underside of the hold-down plate 12, without any lateral movement transversely to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 8 to be significantly impeded when the leading envelope edge engages with the conveyor gap between the conveyor belts 22 of the envelope Intermediate conveyor 16 and the pressure rollers 22a of the bracket 24 has reached.
- Corresponding ball rolling bodies with associated guide cages can also be provided according to a modification, not shown, on a corresponding extension of the holder 24 in order to reduce the frictional forces between the underside of the envelope and the upper debris of the conveyor belts 22 and 23 on the envelope conveying path of the intermediate envelope conveyor 16 until it starts at the angle stop arrangement without one Blocking a transverse movement relative to the direction of conveyance of the intermediate envelope conveyor.
- Fig. 4 in which corresponding parts as in Figs. 1 and 2 are also provided with the same reference numerals, shows a modification of the envelope intermediate conveyor 16, the inclined cutouts 20 and 21 and the conveyor belt arrangements with the conveyor belts 22 and 23 over the Area of the angle stop arrangement are also extended.
- its conveying means can thus be used to request the filled envelope in the direction according to the arrow P2 of FIG. 1 after the envelope has been filled and the angle stop arrangement has been deactivated, such that part of the conveying means the envelope intermediate conveyor 16 can also be used as an envelope conveyor.
- the drive motor 27 for moving the conveyor belts 22 and 23 can also be kept in operation while the envelope is in its precise position in front of the insertion device 35 after starting on the angle stop arrangement, which on the one hand simplifies the control functions and on the other hand prevents a positioned envelope from becoming effective, for example, before fixing means become effective Hold onto the surface of the intermediate intermediate conveying table 15, the envelope springs back from the stops of the angle stop arrangement and loses its precise positioning.
- FIG. 5 and 6 illustrate a form of the envelope intermediate conveyor 16 which is modified compared to the previously described embodiments and which can be inserted between an envelope conveyor 6 and a feeder Z for inserts or insert sets, for example according to FIG. 1.
- the envelope intermediate conveyor 16 can be provided with a bracket 24 mounted on its frame so as to be pivotable about an axis parallel to the conveying direction of the envelope conveyor 6, on which counter-holding rollers 22a with the orientation described in connection with FIG. 1 of their axes of rotation at an angle a + 90 ° to the Direction of conveyance of the envelope conveyor 6 can be stored.
- the pivotable bracket 24 with the counter-holding rollers is omitted there to simplify the illustration of FIG. 5. It should be noted that even in a practical embodiment of the intermediate envelope conveyor 16 according to FIG. 5, a pivotable holder 24 with counter-holding rollers can be completely dispensed with in certain cases, as is evident from the further description of the embodiment according to FIG. 5.
- Conveyor belts 40 begin near a line parallel to the conveying direction of the envelope conveying device 6 and adjacent to the corresponding edge of the envelope intermediate conveying table 15, such that when an envelope is conveyed out of the envelope conveying device 6 with gentle clamping between its conveying means, the leading edge of the relevant envelope essentially simultaneously from the vacuum openings the adjacent perforated upper conveyor belt debris is grasped and sucked in such a way that the envelope in question is then pulled in a direction at an angle ⁇ relative to the conveying direction of the envelope conveyor 6 over the surface of the intermediate envelope conveyor table 15.
- a decreasing definition of an envelope to be conveyed on the conveying means of the intermediate envelope conveyor 16 in the conveying direction of the intermediate envelope conveying device 16 in analogy to the explanations in connection with FIGS. 1 and 2 is obtained in the embodiment according to FIG. 5 in that either the number of adjacent perforated perforations Conveyor belts 40, as shown in Fig.
- the conveying means in the area of the envelope conveying device 6 and / or the conveying means in the area of the envelope conveying means for realizing the removal of filled envelopes in the directions according to the arrows P2, P3 or P4 can also contain perforated vacuum conveyor belts.
- the conveying means of the envelope conveying device 6 designed as perforated vacuum conveyor belts that they are effective either by controlling the effective vacuum and / or by controlling the number of parallel perforated vacuum conveyor belts arranged next to one another in such a way that in one end section they enable the envelope to be moved horizontally in a movement component transversely to the conveying direction of the envelope conveying device.
