摘要: A method and apparatus for stacking newspapers is disclosed which obviates the need to fasten individual stacks. Once ejected from a stacking device, stacks of newspapers pass through an assembly station where they are arranged into groups of three, called slugs, and compressed. The slug then enters a collector where a layer consisting of four slugs is positioned on a sliding table. This positioning requires lateral movement of slugs. Lateral support is provided throughout this movement to prevent the stacks from toppling over. Once a full layer has been accumulated, the sliding table is retracted, and the layer of newspapers falls onto a floating table below. This floating table, which serves as the bottom floor of the container in which it is housed, is automatically lowered by discrete amounts as layers are received. Extendible cylinders located below the collector vertically move the floating table. Since the four walls of the container provide the requisite lateral support, layers of unfastened stacks are able to be securely deposited on the floating table. Once the full container is removed from the collector, a fork lift raises the floating table by inserting its prongs into a gap created between the floating table and the open bottom of the container. In another aspect of the invention, bottom copy damage associated with lateral movement of newspapers is reduced by positioning the stacks so that the nose of the bottom group of newspapers in each stack points in the ultimate direction of lateral movement.

摘要翻译: 公开了一种用于堆叠报纸的方法和装置,其消除了紧固单个堆叠的需要。 一旦从堆叠装置中排出,堆叠的报纸通过装配站,在那里它们被排成三组,被称为s lug,并被压缩。 然后,塞子进入收集器,其中由四个小块组成的层位于滑动台上。 这种定位需要s子的横向移动。 在整个运动中提供横向支撑,以防止堆叠倒塌。 一旦积累了一层,滑动台就会缩回,报纸层落在下面的浮动桌子上。 作为其容纳的容器的底部底部的这个浮动台在层被接收时自动降低离散的量。 位于收集器下方的可扩展气缸垂直移动浮动台。 由于容器的四个壁提供必要的横向支撑,因此能够将浮动的堆叠层牢固地沉积在浮动台上。 一旦完整的容器从收集器中取出,叉式升降机将其插脚插入浮动工作台和容器开口底部之间的间隙中,从而提升浮动工作台。 在本发明的另一方面,通过定位叠层来减少与报纸横向移动相关的底部复印损坏,使得每个叠层中的底部报纸组的鼻子指向横向移动的最终方向。
