Abstract
A guiding device for copies in a folder of a rotary printing machine includes a guiding material engageable with copies projecting into an outlet wedge formed between copy-guiding cylinders, the guiding material forming a surface of the guiding device facing towards the copies, the surface having a geometry that is changeable, and copy-guiding cylinders in combination with the guiding device, and a folder with copy-guiding cylinders and the guiding device, as well as a guiding device assembly including the guiding device.
Claims24
A guiding device for copies in a folder of a rotary printing machine, comprising:
- a guiding material engageable with copies projecting into an outlet wedge formed between copy-guiding cylinders, said guiding material forming a surface facing towards the copies, said surface having a geometry being variable, changeable and adjustable;
- a guide body having a curved and fixed geometry for contacting and guiding said guiding material along the fixed and curved geometry of said guide body, said guide body allowing said guiding material to move relative to the fixed and curved geometry of said guide body;
- and
- an adjusting element extensible and retractable out of said guide body for changing and adjusting the geometry of said guiding material, said adjusting element having a rounded outer contour for contacting and guiding said guiding material, and said adjusting element allowing said guiding material to move relative to said adjusting element.
A guiding device for copies in a folder of a rotary printing machine, comprising:
- a guiding material engageable with copies projecting into an outlet wedge formed between copy-guiding cylinders, said guiding material forming a surface facing towards the copies and having a first section and a second section;
- a guide body having a curved and fixed geometry for contacting and guiding said first section of said guiding material along the fixed and curved geometry of said guide body, said guide body allowing said guiding material to move relative to the fixed and curved geometry of said guide body;
- and
- an adjusting element contacting said second section of said guiding material and having a geometry, said adjusting element being extensible and retractable for changing and adjusting said geometry of said adjusting element, said adjusting element having a rounded outer contour for contacting and guiding said second section of said guiding material, and said adjusting element allowing said guiding material to move relative to said adjusting element.
