Title:
SIGNATURE VELOCITY REDUCTION DEVICE AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2007081701
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
In a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for decelerating a signature comprises a movable belt arrangement (7), and a motor (1) coupled to the movable belt arrangement (7) for controllably moving the movable belt arrangement (7) through a cyclical velocity profile. Pursuant to a feature of the present invention, the movable belt arrangement (7) is moved through a signature engaging section with the cyclical velocity profile causing the motor to decelerate the movable belt arrangement from a first speed to a second speed while engaging a signature (8) in the signature engaging section. The signature (8) enters the signature engaging section at the first speed, and leaves the signature engaging section at the second speed, lower than the first speed. The cyclical velocity profile causes the movable belt arrangement (7) to accelerate upon the signature (8) leaving the signature engaging section, back to the first speed, prior to a next signature entering the signature engaging section.
