On the axis 41, a holder 43 provided with two clamping jaws 44 is fastened by means of a clamping screw 45, which projects downwards into the vicinity of the intermediate stack 5 and is provided with a support bolt 46 for the third, lower deflection roller 37. The deflection roller 37 is also freely rotatably mounted on the support pin 46. The already mentioned, assigned to the driven conveyor wheel 21 and the guide gap 33 delimiting strand 31 of the pressing member 30 extends between the deflecting rollers 37 and 36 Active run 31 and the conveyor wheel 21 formed conveyor gap 33, in particular its inlet, depending on the thickness of the printed products 1 to be processed and fixed by means of the clamping screw 45.

Im Vorrichtungsgestell 8 ist parallel zur Welle 22 und zu den Achsen 41, 42 eine Traverse 47 eingebaut, auf welcher zu beiden Seiten des Förderrades 21 je ein Stütz- und Führungsblech 48, 49 verstellbar (über Schrauben 50 nach Fig. 2) angeordnet ist. Mit Hilfe der Stütz- und Führungsbleche 48, 49 werden die Druckereiprodukte 1 über ihre Breite geführt bzw. ein seitliches Abkippen derselben wird verhindert.In the device frame 8, a traverse 47 is installed parallel to the shaft 22 and to the axes 41, 42, on each of which a support and guide plate 48, 49 is arranged on both sides of the feed wheel 21 (via screws 50 according to FIG. 2). With the help of the support and guide plates 48, 49, the printed products 1 are guided over their width or a lateral tilting of the same is prevented.

Nachfolgend wird nun die Wirkungsweise der beschriebenen Vorrichtung erläutert, sofern sich diese nicht bereits aus den vorstehenden Ausführungen ergibt.The mode of operation of the described device will now be explained, unless this already results from the above explanations.

Die in der ersten Schuppenformation S1 durch die erste Fördereinrichtung 3 zugeführten Druckereiprodukte 1 werden mit der Falzkante 1a unten in den Zwischenstapel 5 eingeschoben. Das jeweils oberste Druckereiprodukt 1 des Zwischenstapels 5 wird mittels der mit der Unterdruckquelle verbundenen Saugköpfe 11 des Anhebeorgans 10 im Bereich der Falzkante 1a erfasst und in eine sich momentan oberhalb der Falzkante 1a befindende Ausnehmung 26 des in Drehrichtung D angetriebenen Förderrades 21 eingeführt. Sobald das angehobene Druckereiprodukt 1 von der Seitenfläche 26a der betreffenden Ausnehmung 26 des Förderrades 21 mitgenommen und zum Führungsspalt 33 gelenkt wird, kehrt das von der Unterdruckquelle abgeschaltete Anhebeorgan 10 - dem Druckereiprodukt 1 dabei aus dem Weg ausweichend - entlang der Umlaufbahn 14 in seine Ausgangsposition zurück, um das nächste Druckereiprodukt 1 zu erfassen und in die nächste Ausnehmung 26 einzuführen. Inzwischen wird das Druckereiprodukt 1 aus der Ausnehmung 26 und in den Führungsspalt 33 zwischen die Umfangsfläche 28 des dieser Ausnehmung 26 in Drehrichtung D vorstehenden Radsegmentes 27 und das vorstehende Druckereiprodukt 1 gedrängt und sein Transport beginnt. So wird jedes Druckereiprodukt 1 in eine der Ausnehmungen 26 nacheinanderfolgend eingeführt, wobei der Antrieb des Anhebeorgans 10 synchron zum Förderradantrieb erfolgt. In dieser Weise wird die neue Schuppenformation S2 von Druckereiprodukten 1 gebildet, in der wiederum jedes Druckereiprodukt 1 auf dem nachfolgenden aufliegt und die vorlaufende Falzkante 1a jeweils unten liegt. Dabei bestimmt das Förderrad 21 des Wegförderers 20 mit seiner Umfangsgeschwindigkeit nicht nur die Fördergeschwindigkeit der wegzufördernden Druckereiprodukte 1; auch der Schuppenabstand wird durch das Förderrad 21 definiert und durch den Abstand der Radsegmente 27 (am Umfang des Förderrades 21 gemessen) bestimmt. Die Form der Ausnehmungen 26 ermöglicht, dass die Druckereiprodukte 1 ohne Knicken oder andere Deformation in den Führungsspalt 33 geleitet werden können. Während in der ersten Schuppenformation S1 Unregelmässigkeiten im Schuppenabstand auftreten und Druckereiprodukte 1 fehlen konnten, wird durch die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung eine neue, genau definierte Schuppenformation S2 gebildet, die keine Unregelmässigkeiten aufweist.The printed products 1 fed in the first scale formation S1 by the first conveying device 3 are inserted with the folded edge 1a into the intermediate stack 5 at the bottom. The uppermost printed product 1 of the intermediate stack 5 is detected in the area of the folding edge 1a by means of the suction heads 11 of the lifting member 10 connected to the vacuum source and introduced into a recess 26 of the conveyor wheel 21 driven in the direction of rotation D, which is currently above the folding edge 1a. As soon as the raised printed product 1 is taken along by the side surface 26a of the relevant recess 26 of the feed wheel 21 and directed to the guide gap 33, the lifting member 10, which is switched off by the vacuum source - returns from the path to the printed product 1 - along the orbit 14 into its starting position in order to detect the next printed product 1 and to insert it into the next recess 26. In the meantime, the printed product 1 is taken out of the recess 26 and into the guide gap 33 between the peripheral surface 28 of the this recess 26 in the direction of rotation D projecting wheel segment 27 and the above printed product 1 is pushed and its transport begins. Thus, each printed product 1 is successively introduced into one of the recesses 26, the lifting member 10 being driven synchronously with the feed wheel drive. In this way, the new scale formation S2 is formed by printed products 1, in which in turn each printed product 1 rests on the next one and the leading fold edge 1a lies below. The conveyor wheel 21 of the conveyor 20 determines with its peripheral speed not only the conveyor speed of the printed products 1 to be removed; the scale distance is also defined by the feed wheel 21 and determined by the distance of the wheel segments 27 (measured on the circumference of the feed wheel 21). The shape of the recesses 26 enables the printed products 1 to be guided into the guide gap 33 without kinking or other deformation. While irregularities in the scale spacing occur in the first scale formation S1 and printed products 1 could be missing, the device according to the invention forms a new, precisely defined scale pattern S2 which has no irregularities.

Die den Wegförderer in Richtung B verlassenden Druckereiprodukte 1 werden in nicht dargestellter Weise erfasst und weggeführt, noch bevor die nachlaufende Kante 1b den Führungsspalt 33 verlässt. Der den Führungsspalt 33 verlassende Teil der Druckereiprodukte 1 wird durch die Stütz- und Führungsbleche 48, 49 untergriffen.The printed products 1 leaving the conveyor in direction B are detected and carried away in a manner not shown, even before the trailing edge 1b leaves the guide gap 33. The part of the printed products 1 leaving the guide gap 33 is gripped by the support and guide plates 48, 49.

Wie in Fig.1 strichpunktiert angedeutet, könnte auch eine Schuppenformation S3, in welcher ebenfalls jedes Druckereiprodukt 1 auf dem nachfolgenden aufliegt, jedoch die vorlaufende, unten liegende Kante durch die offene Seitenkante 1b gebildet wird, erfindungsgemäss zu der Weiterverarbeitungsstelle gefördert werden. In diesem Falle müsste jedoch der Anschlag 4 derart nach links (in Fig. 1 betrachtet) versetzt werden, dass sich die mittels einer Fördervorrichtung 3' in Pfeilrichtung C zugeführten Druckereiprodukte 1 wiederum mit ihrer - diesmal nachlaufenden - Falzkante unterhalb vom Anhebeorgan 10 im Zwischenstapel 5 befinden würden. Das weitere Vorgehen bzw. Wegfördern der Druckereiprodukte 1 in der neuen Schuppenformation S2 zur Weiterverarbeitungsstelle würde gleich erfolgen, wie bereits beschrieben.As indicated by dash-dotted lines in Fig. 1, one could also Scale formation S3, in which each printed product 1 also rests on the next one, but the leading, bottom edge is formed by the open side edge 1b, is conveyed according to the invention to the further processing point. In this case, however, the stop 4 would have to be displaced to the left (viewed in FIG. 1) in such a way that the printed products 1 fed by means of a conveying device 3 'in the direction of arrow C in turn with their - this time trailing - folded edge below the lifting element 10 in the intermediate stack 5 would be. The further procedure or conveying away the printed products 1 in the new scale formation S2 to the further processing point would take place in the same way as already described.
