  • a valve and drive arrangement 96 are known from CH-PS 626 589 and the corresponding US-PS 4,279,412.
  • the valve and drive arrangement 96 is not shown in FIG. 19 and the printed products 12 to be removed are indicated by dash-dotted lines and are assumed to be transparent.
  • the arching element 94 has a three-armed star wheel 98 which is seated in a rotationally fixed manner on a rotating shaft 100 which runs in the horizontal direction and at right angles to the conveying direction F.
  • the rotary shaft 100 and thus the star wheel 98 are driven in such a way that the cantilevers 102 of the star wheel 98 move in the course of the rotation from bottom to top against the supplied printed products 12.
  • At the free end of each arm 102 there is a non-rotatable cylindrical driver element 104, for example made of hard rubber, the longitudinal axis of which extends parallel to the rotating shaft 100.
  • the bulging element 94 is arranged such that in each case a driver element 104 engages under the printed product 12 'raised by means of the lifting element 92'.
  • a conveyor 106 is connected downstream of the conveyor device 10 and has two belt conveyors 108, 110 arranged one above the other, which delimit a common conveyor gap 112.
  • the starting area of the lower belt conveyor 108 is provided where the driver elements 104 reach their highest point in the course of the rotation of the star wheel 98 to reach.
  • the deflecting roller 114 provided in the initial region of the upper belt conveyor 110 is seen upstream of the arching element 94 in the direction of conveyance F, so that the lower, effective conveyor strand of this belt conveyor 108 covers the transfer area 14 from the deflecting roller 114 via the lifting and arching element 92, 94 to the upper conveying element Run of the lower belt conveyor 108.
  • the respective driver elements 104 slightly raise the region of the conveyor-effective run of the upper belt conveyor 110 between the deflection roller 114 and the lower belt conveyor 108.
  • the device shown in Figures 19 to 22 operates as follows: The lifting element 92 is lowered onto the uppermost printed product 12 lying against the stop 16, as is indicated by dash-dotted lines and indicated by the corresponding arrow in FIG. 22. The lifting element 92 is pressed against the printed product 12 resting on the support plate 90 'in the region of its leading edges 32 and connected to the vacuum source. Thereafter, the lifting element 92 is moved upward in the direction of the arrow by means of the valve and drive arrangement 96, with the result that the detected printed product 12 'is lifted off from the support plate 90 or from another printed product 12 arranged thereon.
  • a driver element 104 arranged on a cantilever 102 engages under the raised printed product 12 'and takes it with it, while the lifting element 92 is ventilated by means of the valve and drive arrangement 96 and is removed in the direction of the arrow from the raised compressed product 12'. Because the driver elements 104 are attached to the arms 102 in a rotationally fixed manner, the undercut printed product 12 'is raised further and taken along in the conveying direction F, so that this comes to rest with the upper side on the underside of the leading printed product 12 or on the conveying strand of the upper belt conveyor 110.
  • the printed product 12 thus clamped between the driver element 104 and the leading printing product 12 or the upper belt conveyor 110 is introduced into the conveying gap 112 by means of the driving element 104 with the leading edge 32 ahead. Since the respective driving element 104 lifts off the conveyor-effective strand of the upper belt conveyor 110 in the initial region of the conveyor gap 112, the conveyor gap 112 is widened in the mouth region, which enables the leading edge 32 to be inserted without problems.
  • the one printed product 12 is being introduced into the conveying column 112
  • the next printed product 12 'resting on the stop 16 has already been raised by means of the lifting element 92, which is next underpinned by another driver element 104 in an analogous manner, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 21 .
  • the next two superimposed printed products 12 are conveyed further against the stop 16.
  • the removal conveyor is preferably designed in the manner shown in FIGS. 1 to 15 and 18. It is also possible that the printed products are not bulged in the middle region of the leading or trailing edge, but that the bulging is carried out in the region of the side edges.
  • a bulging device which has only one lifting element, by means of which the printing product in question is raised and pressed with the raised side edge in the direction against the other side edge becomes.
  • the bulging preferably takes place in the area of the fold, since in this area the printed product parts cannot separate from one another.
  • the lifting element is designed to be pivotable in order to bulge the respectively raised printed product 12 'by pivoting about a preferably horizontal axis.
  • the printed products can be conveyed away individually, without mutual overlap.
  • the device according to the invention can also be used as a so-called cycle in order to further convey the supplied printed products in a certain cycle.
  • the printed products 12 supplied can, for example, be bulged toward the bottom in a V-shape. When bulging a printed product 12 'against At the top, this can prevent the following printed product 12 from being carried along, for example due to adhesion.
