Abstract The invention relates to methods of assembling piles of newspapers and may be employed to the utmost effectiveness in automatic lines for printing newspapers, and their subsequent handling and treatment. In the disclosed method, as a larger pile of papers is being assembled, a portion of this pile is first assembled within a time not shorter than the time for unloading that pile, so that the time for assembling the remaining portion of the larger pile should be in excess of the pile unloading time, whereafter a smaller pile is then assembled, and then the remaining portion of the greater pile is assembled simultaneously with unloading of the assembled smaller pile from the respective bin. The method provides for assembling smaller piles containing any amount of newspapers, even a pile of one newspaper.
A method of assembling piles of newspapers being continuously delivered by a rotary press, comprising the operation of: directing the stream of newspapers into a first bin for assembling therein a greater pile of newspapers; assembling in said first bin a portion of said greater pile within a time not shorter than the time of unloading a pile from said bin; interrupting the process of assembling said greater pile in said first bin; directing said stream of newspapers into a second bin for assembling therein a smaller pile of newspapers, re-directing said stream of newspapers after said smaller pile has been assembled into said first bin, and assembling therein the remaining portion of the greater pile of which the assembling has been interrupted, and within a time in excess of said pile unloading time; unloading said smaller pile from said second bin during the period of the assembling of said remaining portion of said greater pile in said first bin; re-directing said stream of newspapers into said second bin for assembling therein the first portion of a greater pile; unloading said first-mentioned greater pile from said first bin, and repeating the aforementioned operations of assembling the greater and smaller piles alternatingly in said bins.
