  • Publication number: 20050077672
    Abstract: A machine for diecutting blanks and having a feeding station for sheets, a sheet feeder through the machine for the fed sheets, a sheet diecutting station, a stripping station for free waste cut from the sheets, a blanking and delivery station of the blanks, an evacuation station for waste attached to the blanks and a binder sheet inserting device for inserting binder sheets from a storage pile of binder sheets between the blanks during piling up of the blanks. A feeding compartment receives the storage pile of binder sheets. That compartment occupies a volume situated between the evacuation station of waste attached to the blanks and a machine base. A lifting mechanism lifts the storage pile of binder sheets during insertion of the binder sheets between the piled up blanks.

  • Patent number: 6481709
    Abstract: Device (1) for the longitudinal alignment of plate elements (2) within an infeed station of a machine working them. The aforementioned device is secured by two lateral brackets (9, 10) between which is settled a conveyor track for the said plate elements, comprising two plates (5, 6) folded downwise according to a line (7) non-perpendicular in the meaning of the shifting (3) of the said plate elements (2). The latter are moved downstream by means of at least two conveyor belts running around at least two pulleys (15, 16) secured between unmovable bearings (11-14) at the input of the said device. The device (1) has on its leading edge a protection plate (39) over which are flaps (30-32) movable and interdependent of a transverse shaft (24) connecting the leading edges of the two lateral brackets (9, 10). This shaft is moved by an alternate rotation between 0 and 45 degrees, synchronized with the production speed of the machine in order to allow the successive alignment of the said plate elements (2).
