DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to an apparatus for pasting inserts into publications which are being advanced by means of a conveyor for publications in a straddling position, comprising a magazine for the inserts, a picker for pulling out the inserts one at a time from the magazine, and transfer means for transporting an insert which has been pulled out, from the picker to a publication on the conveyor.
The inserts which are referred to may comprise cards of different kinds, samples, sample bags, order forms or other flat pieces which are well suited to be attached to a sheet inside a publication or to the outside of the cover of the publication.
There are already several different apparatuses of the kind referred to herein, but a drawback of these apparatuses is that they are relatively bulky such that they cannot be associated with a row of feeders which are distributed along the conveyor, without removing one of the feeders. The object of the invention is to provide such a design of the apparatus that it can be located adjacent a row of feeders to operate between two adjacent feeders, without the necessity of removing any feeder and without interfering with the control of the production or the availability of the feeders or the conveyor. It is also intended to provide an apparatus which is of a reliable and relatively simple construction and which moreover without any difficulty can be made mobile along the row of feeders to be placed at any desired location.
In order to attain this object the apparatus of the kind referred to above has obtained the characteristics appearing from claim 1.
In order to explain the invention in more detail an embodiment thereof will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view illustrating the embodiment of the pasting apparatus according to the invention as regards the principle,
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the magazine,
FIG. 3 is a side view, partly a vertical cross-sectional view, of the picker and the transfer member,
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the transfer member, and
FIG. 5 is an end view of the transfer member.
According to the diagrammatic FIG. 1, relating to the principle of the invention, the pasting apparatus of the invention shall be associated with a conveyor 10 for transporting publications or signatures 11 in a straddling position. Such conveyors are well known in the art and comprise a saddle support and a chain moving along this support and having drives which advance the signatures along the support mutually spaced. The pasting apparatus is arranged substantially perpendicularly to the conveyor 10 and comprises a magazine 12 for the inserts to be pasted into the publications or signatures 11. As mentioned above, these inserts may comprise cards or other flat pieces; in FIG. 1 a stack of cards 13 is shown in the magazine. A rotating picker 14 is associated with the magazine and collects one card at a time from the magazine and pulls said card therefrom in order that the card shall then be taken over by a transfer member 15. This transfer member takes the card away from the picker 14 and transfers the card to the publication or signature 11, a glue applicator 16 being arranged adjacent the path of the moving card between the picker and the publication or signature. The glue applicator provides the card with glue at the side thereof to be applied against the publication or signature.
Referring to FIG. 2, the magazine 12 comprises a bottom plate 17 on which there is provided a support 18 projecting upwards perpendicularly from the bottom plate. This support is displaceable along a slot 19 in the bottom plate and can be locked in a desired displaced position by means of a screw device 20 so that the position of the support on the bottom plate can be adapted to the size of the inserts to be received by the magazine. Generally, these inserts must be relatively flat to be attached to a publication. The inserts are arranged in a stack extending substantially perpendicularly to the support 18 as indicated in FIG. 2.
