Apparatus for forming sheet stacks and delivery of a sheet-fed rotary printing machine having a stop
Patent number: 7784785Abstract: An apparatus for forming stacks in sheet-processing machines, in particular printing machines, includes side stops moving back and forth. The stops are divided into upper and lower parts. The lower part can be displaced vertically or in slotted guides and can interact with a switch in order to switch off a stack lift drive.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2006Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Andreas Böttger, Andreas Detloff -
Patent number: 7594658Abstract: A device for conveying a sheet through a typographic or printing technology machine reliably transfers a sheet from a cylinder to a trailing-edge gripper system and includes a chain conveyor, grippers for holding and taking over the leading margin of the sheet from a cylinder and grippers fixed to endless chains for holding the trailing, rear margin of the sheet. When the grippers for the trailing margin pass the cylinder, the grippers are guided in a closed state along a path outside a revolution contour of a support surface and, having passed the cylinder, the grippers are guided in an open state along a path to a radial level of the rear margin held in auxiliary grippers.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: September 29, 2009Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Stephan Mutschall, Andreas Detloff, Paul Nicola

Patent number: 7478807Abstract: A method for conveying a sheet includes guiding an electrically charged sheet pneumatically along a desired path, continuously detecting a charge distribution on the sheet, and reducing a positional deviation of the sheet from the desired path by actuating at least one actuating element influencing the position in dependence on the charge distribution. An apparatus for conveying a sheet includes a control device for the position of the sheet and a sensor connected to the control device for detecting an electric field present on the sheet. The method and apparatus permit the sheet to be guided with small deviations from the desired path.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2006Date of Patent: January 20, 2009Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Andreas Detloff, Bernhard Falk, Michael Füner, Peter Hachmann, Johann Schunn, Peter Thoma

Patent number: 7384035Abstract: A configuration for generating blowing air or suction air, in particular a directing element in a sheet-processing machine, has a throttle path formed with vortex chambers. The vortex chambers generate vortex flows in a flow channel and they are formed by projections on just one side of the flow channel. This allows the element to be advantageously produced by molding, such as injection molding, thermo-molding, or stamping.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2005Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventor: Andreas Detloff
