PCT No. PCT/SE83/00391 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 11, 1984 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 11, 1984 PCT Filed Nov. 10, 1983 PCT Pub. No. WO84/01935 PCT Pub. Date May 24, 1984.Method and apparatus for inserting supplements into newspapers without slowing the flow of newspapers from a printing press. The method and apparatus produce a final, single stream of newspapers after the newspapers are received from inserting machines. At least two inserting machines receive portions of a main stream of newspapers from the printing press. The main stream is divided into branch stream which pass through the slower operating inserting machines. The branch streams are recombined into a single stream of newspapers having the same speed as the main stream of newspapers from the printing press. The apparatus comprises a receiving conveyor for receiving newspapers from respective branch streams. Overlapped batches of newspapers are formed on the receiving conveyor. One newspaper from each branch stream is deposited at predetermined longitudinal and lateral positions of the receiving conveyor to form the batches of newspapers. Each batch of newspapers is unloaded from the receiving conveyor onto a transversely travelling collecting conveyor and consecutive batches are deposited to overlap preceding ones. The batches are spaced at the same distance as the distance between newspapers in each batch. The collecting conveyor has preferably a speed which is comparable to a conveyor belt which carries papers from the printing press. |
