Abstract
A sheet combining device includes at least one former, at least one longitudinal cutter, and at least two partial web guide routes. A respective partial sheet of partial cut webs can be conveyed on each of the at least two partial web guide routes. These sheets can be combined to form a principal sheet at an exit of the sheet combining device. A stapler is provided on one of the at least two partial web guide routes and is used to staple the partial sheet which is conveyed on that guide route.
Claims25
A continuous web mixing device comprising:
- at least a first former;
- at least a first longitudinal cutter associated with said first former and adapted to cut a first continuous web, constituted of a plurality of parallel webs and associated with said first former, longitudinally, in a direction of travel of said first continuous web through the web mixing device, into at least first and second cut partial continuous webs each constituted of said plurality of parallel webs;
- at least first and second partial web guide paths both adapted to simultaneously conduct selected ones of said plurality of parallel webs of said first and second cut partial continuous webs from said first former;
- an outlet of said continuous web mixing device adapted to receive said first and second cut partial continuous webs and to unite them into a main continuous web;
- and
- at least a first stapler arranged in one of said at least first and second partial web guide paths before said outlet and after said at least one former, one of said at least first and second cut partial continuous webs passing through said first stapler, said first stapler joining together said plurality of parallel paper webs of said one of said at least first and second cut partial continuous webs passing through said at least first stapler prior to said uniting of said first and second cut partial continuous webs at said outlet.

A continuous web mixing device comprising:
- at least a first former and a second former;
- at least one longitudinal cutter associated with said at least first former and adapted to cut a first continuous web, constituted of a first plurality of parallel webs and associated with said first former longitudinally, in a direction of travel of said first continuous web through the web mixing device, into at least first and second cut partial continuous webs each constituted of said plurality of parallel webs;
- at least first and second partial web guide paths associated with said first former and both adapted to conduct selected ones of said plurality of parallel webs of said first and second cut partial continuous webs from said first former;
- an outlet of said web mixing device located after said at least first former and said second former and adapted to receive said first and second cut partial continuous webs and to unite them into a main continuous web;
- and
- a second continuous web, constituted of a second plurality of parallel webs and associated with said second former and movable along a second continuous web guide path, said at least first and second cut partial continuous webs, each associated with said first former, and each constituted of selected ones of said first plurality of parallel webs, being simultaneously conducted on both first and second sides of said second former, said at least first and second cut partial continuous webs being united at said outlet with said second continuous web constituted of said second plurality of parallel webs to form said main continuous web.

A method for mixing continuous webs including:
- providing at least a first former;
- associating at least one longitudinal cutting device with said at least first former;
- conveying at least two parallel webs through said former and said associated longitudinal cutting device and forming at least first and second longitudinally cut and formed partial continuous webs each constituted of said at least two parallel webs;
- providing at least first and second guide paths;
- providing a stapler in at least one of said first and second guide paths;
- moving said first and second longitudinally cut and formed partial continuous webs along said first and second guide paths;
- stapling together said at least two parallel webs of at least one of said first and second longitudinally cut and formed partial continuous webs using said stapler;
- providing an outlet;
- and
- combining said first and second longitudinally cut and formed partial continuous webs into a main continuous web at said outlet, said at least one of said first and second partial continuous webs being stapled together using said stapler before being again united with the other of said first and second longitudinally cut and formed partial continuous webs into said main continuous web.
