Patent number: 7739951Abstract: A printed product, with a number of inserts, is printed on a printing machine. The pages of the inserts are printed by the printing machine as product pages on the web. The web is then folded in a folder that is a part of the printing machine to thereby form at least one of the inserts of the printed product. The printed product is laid out at an exit of the folder and the web is folded in such a manner that a final format of each insert completely shows one of these printed pages. Before the printed product is laid out at the exit of the folder, inserts which belong to the same printed product are collected in the folder by placing these inserts one atop the other.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2005Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Koenig & Bauer AktiengesellschaftInventor: Rudolf Stäb

Patent number: 7442158Abstract: A folding apparatus includes at least a first folding cylinder and a second, folding jaw cylinder. A third measuring cylinder is also provided. The measuring cylinder is usable to cut product sections or signatures of a determined length L from an endless web. The first cylinder is embodied, in one embodiment, as an engaging cylinder, and as a second embodiment as a puncture cylinder. In both embodiments, the product section or signatures which are produced, have the same length.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2005Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: Koenig & Bauer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Holger Ratz, Rudolf Stäb

Patent number: 6321902Abstract: A device for dividing the flow of signatures into two paths of signatures uses two cam rows and a stationary guide wedge. Two conveyor belt systems initially deliver the signatures to a leading edge of the guide wedge. This leading edge is provided with guide channels into and out of which the conveyor belts in each of the two conveyor belt systems are alternatingly moved by high and low cam portions of the cam disks carried on the two cam rows.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2000Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Koenig & Bauer AktiengesellschaftInventor: Rudolf Stäb

Patent number: 6213461Abstract: Printed products are guided from an infeed to a delivery belt by a plurality of partially overlapping paddle blades. The paddle blades are secured to an endless carrier such as a chain or a toothed belt. The printed products are deposited on the delivery belt in a smooth, gentle manner as they slip out of the pockets defined by the adjacent overlapping paddles.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1999Date of Patent: April 10, 2001Assignee: Koenig & Bauer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Holger Ratz, Rudolf Stäb

Patent number: 6019714Abstract: A folding apparatus is used to cross-fold printed matter, particularly of variable section lengths. Damage to the printed products is avoided, even at high production speeds. This is accomplished by providing a signature divider after a transverse cutting device, and before two parallel cross-folding devices. The signatures divider alternatingly direct the signatures into two product flow paths. Each product flow path acts as a deceleration line so that the signatures are delivered to the cross-folding devices at half of their original speed.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1998Date of Patent: February 1, 2000Assignee: Koenig & Bauer AktiengesellschaftInventor: Rudolf Stab

Patent number: 5950516Abstract: Cutting bars positioned on the peripheral surface of a cutting cylinder are shiftable circumferentially toward or away from each other to vary the lengths of signatures being produced when the folding apparatus is switched between collection and no collection production. The cutting bars are shiftable circumferentially in grooves provided on the surface of the cutting cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 1997Date of Patent: September 14, 1999Assignee: Albert-Frankenthal AktiengesellschaftInventor: Rudolf Stab
