20090218744 | Printed product collecting device and method - A collecting device for forming a printed product includes a conveyor and a plurality of printed material delivery devices, the plurality of printed material delivery devices including a first delivery device for first printed materials and a second delivery device for second printed materials. A first transfer device is assigned to the first delivery device and delivering the first printed materials to the conveyor and a second transfer device assigned to the second delivery device and delivering the second printed materials to be collected with the first printed materials on the conveyor. Each of the first and second transfer devices have printed material buffer positions between the respective first and second delivery devices and the conveyor, which permit advantageous reduction in the amount of waste. | 09-03-2009 |
20110012298 | SHEET FINISHING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A sheet finishing apparatus includes a punch unit to punch a sheet, and a saddle unit to bundle and to fold the sheets. A position and an inclination angle of a puncher are changed according to a skew amount of the sheet, the puncher is controlled to form punch holes in the sheet at positions symmetric with respect to a folding line, and punching is performed so that an interval between the folding line and the punch hole becomes small at the inside of a bundle of the sheets and becomes large at the front cover side. | 01-20-2011 |

20090230606 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMATION CONTROL METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus having an image forming unit to form an image on a sheet, includes a sheet inserting unit configured to insert one or more of a first insertion sheet and a second insertion sheet at one or more predetermined insertion positions in a plurality of sheets, in a case where the plurality of sheets are output by the image forming unit. The image forming apparatus also includes a control unit configured to control the sheet inserting unit to prevent the sheet inserting unit from inserting both the first insertion sheet and the second insertion sheet at the same predetermined insertion position in the plurality of sheets. | 09-17-2009 |
20110140338 | Methods and apparatus for shingle stacking of tickets in a ticket printer - Methods and apparatus are provided for stacking paper tickets, receipts, vouchers and the like that exit a transaction-based printer. A stacking nip is provided which accepts a first ticket from a ticket cutter. The first ticket is fed into the stacking nip, and then advanced by the stacking nip for a fixed distance until a trailing edge of the first ticket is positioned before the stacking nip. A second ticket is then fed towards the stacking nip. The first ticket is held in the stacking nip with the trailing edge positioned before the stacking nip until a leading edge of the second ticket overlaps the trailing edge of the first ticket. The trailing edge of the first ticket and the leading edge of the second ticket are then simultaneously advanced through the stacking nip. The first ticket is ejected from the stacking nip into a ticket bin once the trailing edge is advanced through the stacking nip. | 06-16-2011 |

20080217836 | Method and Apparatus for Proof Sheet Removal - An apparatus for the removal of proof sheets from a sheet-processing machine has at least one sheet catcher provided with a gripper device. The gripper draws the sheet out of the stacking region. A lower sheet catcher is first moved into the stacking region above the sheet stack. Following a deposition of at least one proof sheet, the sheet is gripped with the gripper device, and following sheets are held back with an upper sheet catcher. Then the proof sheet is drawn out of the stacking region by moving the lower sheet catcher and the gripper device back. | 09-11-2008 |

20080237963 | Method For Arranging Pages of a Printed Work on Signatures, and Method For Representing a Production of a Printed Work - A method for arranging pages of a print product on fold sheets which are subsequently combined into an imposing scheme on print sheets is disclosed, wherein the print sheets are initially imprinted with the pages for producing the print product and then cut into the fold sheets, thereafter the fold sheets are folded and cut and collated into the print products, and in order to make the determination of the imposing schemes more variable initially the pages are assigned to partitions of the print products and pages of the print product included in a partition are either not separated from each other, or only separated from each other by a last cut of the print product and the partitions are disposed on the fold sheets, wherein partitions are depicted, which are hierarchically subordinated to the product components and superordinated to the pages, such that pages of the print product included in the partitions are either not separated from one another, or only separated from one another by a last cut of the print product in the course of the production. | 10-02-2008 |
20100038839 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING MAIL TO OBTAIN IMAGE DATA OF CONTENTS - A method and apparatus for processing mail is provided. Mail is placed into an input bin having a conveyor that conveys the mail towards a feeder. The feeder serially feeds the envelopes by engaging the lead envelope in the stack of mail and displacing the lead envelope transverse the stack of mail. The mail is then cut on a side edge and the top edge to cut open each envelope. A transport conveys the cut envelopes to an extractor. The extractor opens the edge-severed mail and presents the contents of the envelopes to an operator who manually extracts the contents. The operator drops the extracted contents onto a conveyor that conveys the contents to an imaging station. The contents are automatically separated and imaged to obtain image data for the contents. The contents are then sorted into a plurality of output bins. | 02-18-2010 |
20150042029 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SEPARATING PRODUCT PARTS OF A MULTI-PART PRODUCT - The device for separating product parts of a multi-part, flat product includes a receiving unit for receiving the product, a device for separating the product parts and a retaining device for acting on one of the product parts for the purpose of maintaining the separation of the product parts. The receiving unit includes a first friction element and a second friction element, which is movable with respect to the first friction element. The two friction elements are arranged on the receiving unit such that the product can be firmly clamped between the friction elements. The friction elements are designed such that the static friction between the product part and the friction element assigned to this is greater than the static friction between the product parts, so that the product parts can be moved with respect to one another given a relative movement between the two friction elements firmly clamping the product. | 02-12-2015 |
