Abstract

The delay unit (6) holds the folded copies (5) and comprises first grippers (7). The deflector and conveyor (14) takes the folded copies from the delay unit and has second grippers (17). The transporter (22) takes the folded copies from the deflector and conveyor and has third grippers (25). The deflector and conveyor has a first circulating conveyor belt (15) on which the second grippers are positioned. An initial part of the first conveyor belt is parallel to a first transfer zone (500). A second conveyor belt (27) has the third grippers (25). Part of the second conveyor belt is parallel to the first conveyor belt in the second transfer zone (24).
