Bei den mit Richtungswechsel arbeitenden Vorrichtungen zum Anlegen und Ankleben der Vorsätze, wie sie beispielhaft aus der DE-OS 29 48 802 und dem US-Patent 5 108 244 bekannt sind, werden die vereinzelten und in die Vorsatzkanäle geworfenen Vorsätze aus dem Stillstand von den Vorschubfingern der Transportkette auf die Transportgeschwindigkeit der Buchblocks beschleunigt, was bekanntlich infolge des dabei auftretenden Stoßes zu einem Verwerfen und Ausknicken der Vorsätze führen kann und ab einer bestimmtem Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit Funktionsstörungen verursacht. Einer Steigerung der Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit sind zudem Grenzen gesetzt aufgrund des großen Taktabstandes der einzeln nacheinander den Vorsatzkanälen zuzuführenden Vorsatzbogen.In the case of devices for applying and gluing that work with a change of direction the resolutions as exemplified by DE-OS 29 48 802 and the US patent 5 108 244 are known, the isolated and in the attachment channels Thrown attachments from standstill from the feed fingers of the transport chain accelerated to the transport speed of the book blocks, which is known due to the impact that occurs to a warping and buckling of the Resolutions can lead to malfunctions and above a certain working speed caused. An increase in work speed are also Limits due to the large pitch of the one after the other the attachment sheet to be fed to the attachment channels.

Durch den für großformatige Vorsätze erforderlichen relativ großen Durchmesser der Abzugstrommeln in Verbindung mit der Anordnung der Rotationsanleger sowie der Magazine oberhalb der Vorsatzkanäle ergibt sich für kleinformatige Vorsätze eine relativ große Fallhöhe und somit ein unkontrolliertes Abwerfen in die Vorsatzkanäle und ferner resultieren daraus ergonomisch ungünstige Arbeitsbedingen beim Anlegen der Vorsatzstapel in die Magazine. Due to the relatively large diameter required for large-format attachments the take-off drums in connection with the arrangement of the rotary feeders and the magazine above the attachment channels is for small-format attachments a relatively large drop height and thus an uncontrolled dropping into the front channels and furthermore ergonomically unfavorable working conditions result from this when placing the stack of attachments in the magazines.
