Abstract
At a first feed station a first inner part is fed into an accommodation part which is driven so that it rotates in a conveyance direction. At a second feed station a second inner part is added side by side next to the first inner part. At a third feed station a folded outer part is placed, with its open side edge lying opposite the fold first, astride the thus collated inner parts. The end product thus formed has an outer part and two inner parts disposed therein, the folds of the inner parts running along the side edge of the outer part.
Claims23
A process for producing a multipart printed product comprising a folded outer part and at least one inner part, said folded outer part having a folded edge and an open side edge lying opposite the fold, said inner parts comprising folded inner printed products or non-folded printed products, said folded inner part having a folded edge and an open side edge lying opposite the fold, said process comprising the following steps:
- combining each of the inner parts and the outer part in succession to form the multipart printed product, wherein at least one of the parts is combined by a process other than a collection process, said step of combining comprising:
- providing an accommodation part having a bottom and at least one lateral support element;
- feeding said at least one inner part with an edge in front into said accommodation part such that one outer side of the inner part comes to rest against said support element and said edge rests against said bottom;
- after said step of feeding said inner parts, as an end step, placing the outer part astride the at least one inner part with the open side edge first.
A device for assembling a multipart printed product comprising a folded outer part and at least one inner part, said folded outer part having a fold and an open side edge lying opposite the fold, said inner parts comprising folded inner printed products or non-folded printed products, said folded inner part having a folded edge and an open side edge lying opposite the fold, said device comprising:
- at least one accommodation part having a bottom and a lateral supporting element;
- wherein at least one inner part is fed with an edge in front into said accommodation part;
- and wherein one outer side of the at least one inner part comes to rest against said supporting element and the edge comes to rest against said bottom;
- first feed station means for feeding the at least one inner part into the accommodation part;
- second feed station means, disposed downstream of the first feed station means, for placing the outer part astride the at least one inner part with the open side edge first to form an end product;
- and
- removal station means disposed downstream of the first and second feed station means, for removing the end product.
