  • Patent number: 6988721
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for stacking of sheets. A high-speed printer is provided for printing the sheets or at least one continuous web which is cut to sheets (2). The stacking device is provided to receive sheets in at least one flow (AS1 and/or AS2) thereof to said stacking device and to transfer said sheets (2) in the flow (AS1 and/or AS2) thereof to at least one first stacking table (11b) in order to form thereon at least one stack (2A and/or 2B) of sheets (2).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 13, 2001
    Date of Patent: January 24, 2006
    Assignee: Stralfors AB
    Inventor: Leif Ingelsten
  • Patent number: 6978994
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for lateral movement of sheets (2) during transport thereof to a stacking device (11) such that the sheets (2) or stacks of sheets occupy laterally displaced positions relative to each other in the stacking device (11). A high-speed printer (6) is provided for printing the sheets (2) or a continuous web which is then cut to sheets (2). A vacuum generating device has vacuum means (12, 13) with vacuum openings located within vacuum holes (20) in conveyor belts (14), and is provided to generate a vacuum in said vacuum openings and vacuum holes (20) that said conveyor belts (14) can grip or engage and transport the sheets (2).

  • Patent number: 6932339
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transport device for transporting sheets (2) in a plant comprising a high-speed printer which is provided for printing the sheets (2) or a continuous web which is cut to sheets (2). The transport device includes at least one vacuum means (9b) having at least one vacuum opening (9c, 9d) and at least one conveyor belt (9a) with vacuum holes (9e) which communicates with the vacuum opening (9c, 9d), and a vacuum generating device (VA) for generating a vacuum in the vacuum opening (9c, 9d) of the vacuum means (9b) and in the vacuum holes (9e) of the conveyor belt (9a) such that said conveyor belt (9a) can engage and transport the sheets (2). The vacuum generating device comprises a compressor-air generating device (9f) from which compressed air is fed or supplied to at least one ejector (9g) such that a jet (D) of compressed air therein generates a vacuum in the vacuum openings (9c, 9d) in the vacuum means (9b) and the vacuum holes (9e) in the conveyor belts (9a).
