Patent number: 9346645Abstract: An apparatus for driving a pair of nip rollers at a rotational velocity that varies within each revolution is provided. A first nip roller and a second nip roller form a nip therebetween for moving a sheet or signature. A drive configured and arranged to drive a drive shaft at a constant rotational speed. A pair of variable rotational speed couplings each have an input coupled to the drive, and an output connected to a respective one of the first and second nip rollers. Each coupling rotates its respective nip roller at a rotational speed that varies within each revolution.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Goss International Americas, Inc.Inventors: Jared David Kinson, Dieter Theodor Ebert, John James Sposato, Jr., Joseph Adrian St. Ours

Publication number: 20130047875Abstract: A printing press is provided that includes at least one variable cutoff printing unit printing images of at least one cutoff length on a web, at least one cutting cylinder downstream of the at least one variable cutoff printing unit cutting the web into signatures. The printing press also includes a pair of first accelerator nip rolls receiving the web as the web is cut into the signatures and accelerating each of the signatures and at least one motor accelerating the pair of first accelerator nip rolls such that the first accelerator nip rolls have a first surface velocity equal to a velocity of the web as the web is received by the first accelerator nip rolls and the first accelerator nip rolls have a second surface velocity greater than the first surface velocity as the first accelerator nip rolls release each of the signatures. A folder and a method of operating a folder are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2011Publication date: February 28, 2013Applicant: Goss International Americas, Inc.Inventors: Dieter Theodor Ebert, Joseph Adrian St. Ours, David Elliot Whitten

Publication number: 20110067587Abstract: A printing press is provided. The printing press includes a print unit printing a plurality of printed products, the plurality of printed products being formed into a stream downstream of the print unit. The printing press also includes at least one base and a press component, the press component is mounted onto the at least one base for placement in the stream and translational movement transverse to the stream. The press component may be a pitch changing apparatus. A method is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2010Publication date: March 24, 2011Applicant: Goss International Americas, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Adrian ST OURS, Dieter Theodor EBERT, Mark Anthony WINGATE

Publication number: 20100101386Abstract: A variable cutoff web cutting apparatus is provided including a first knife cylinder having a first segmented knife blade. The first knife cylinder rotates about a first cylinder axis in a web travel direction and the first segmented knife blade rotates about a first knife axis in the opposite direction. Also included is a first counterpart cylinder, which the first segmented knife blade contacts to perforate a web. The cutting apparatus also includes a second knife cylinder having a second knife blade. The second knife cylinder rotates about a second cylinder axis in the web travel direction and the second knife blade rotates about a second knife axis the opposite direction. Also included is a second counterpart cylinder, which the second knife blade contacts to cut the web adjacent to where the first segmented knife blade perforated the web, so as to sever the web and create a signature.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2008Publication date: April 29, 2010Applicant: Goss International Americas, Inc.Inventors: Barry Mark Jackson, Dieter Theodor Ebert, Joseph Adrian St. Ours

Publication number: 20090217833Abstract: A printing press is provided. The printing press includes a print unit printing a stream of printed products, the printed products having a first pitch. The printing press also includes a pitch changing device. The pitch changing device includes an upper roller mounted on an upper axle, a lower roller mounted on a lower axle, the upper and lower rollers forming a roller nip, and a motor driving the upper and lower rollers in opposite directions. The nip receives the stream of printed products. The motor varies the velocity of the nip and the printed products using an electronic cam velocity profile so as to alter the first pitch. A method is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 29, 2008Publication date: September 3, 2009Applicant: Goss International Americas, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Adrian St. Ours, Lothar John Schroeder, Barry Mark Jackson, Dieter Theodor Ebert
