Printed copy collecting apparatus
View Patent ↗An apparatus and method for collecting a printed copy is disclosed. A collecting cylinder is operable in a non-collect mode and a collect mode. A cam collect is coupled to the collecting cylinder. The collecting cylinder is switchable between the non-collect mode and the collect mode by a relative rotational movement between the collecting cylinder and the cam collect.
1. A printed copy collecting apparatus, comprising:
a cylinder body and a control cam coupled to a first bearing body;
a cam collect coupled to a second bearing body;
a transmission gearing, wherein the transmission gearing includes:
a first meshing gear pair;
a second meshing gear pair; and
a shiftable coupling;
wherein a respective first gear of the two gear pairs is allocated to a shaft of the cylinder body, a respective second gear of the two gear pairs is allocated to a first shaft that runs axially parallel to the shaft of the cylinder body, and the shiftable coupling is operable to interrupt a power transmission between the gears that are allocated to the first shaft; and
a drive coupled to a second shaft running axially parallel to the shaft the cylinder body, wherein the second shaft includes a freewheeling clutch and a gear connected to the first gear pair's gear that is allocated to the shaft of the cylinder body, which first gear pair's gear that is allocated to the shaft of the cylinder body is mounted so that it is freely rotatable on the shaft and is firmly connected to the second bearing body.
2. The printed copy collecting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second bearing body is rotatably mounted on the shaft of the cylinder body via bearings and coaxially via bearings on the first bearing body, wherein the first bearing body encloses the second bearing body in sections and the second bearing body encloses the shaft in sections.
3. The printed copy collecting apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the drive rotates the first gear pair's gear that is allocated to the first shaft, which gear is fixed on the first shaft.
4. A printed copy collecting apparatus, comprising:
a cylinder body and a control cam coupled to a first bearing body;
a cam collect coupled to a second bearing body;
a transmission gearing, wherein the transmission gearing includes:
a first meshing gear pair;
a second meshing gear pair; and
a shiftable coupling;
wherein a respective first gear of the two gear pairs is allocated to a shaft of the cylinder body, a respective second gear of the two gear pairs is allocated to a first shaft that runs axially parallel to the shaft of the cylinder body, and the shiftable coupling is openable to interrupt a power transmission between the gears that are allocated to the first shaft; and
a brake which cooperates with a brake disc that is coupled to the first gear pair's gear that is allocated to the first shaft;
wherein when the shiftable coupling is opened and when the brake is closed, the second bearing body and the cam collect are stationary and the cylinder body is rotatable relative to the cam collect.
5. The printed copy collecting apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the second bearing body is rotatably mounted on the shaft of the cylinder body via bearings and coaxially via bearings on the first bearing body, wherein the first bearing body encloses the second bearing body in sections and the second bearing body encloses the shaft in sections.
