Abstract

The deflector for alternately transporting signatures (240) towards a number of containers in a web-fed printing machine has a cylindrical gap (350) formed by two cylinders (300,310) and directly in front of a wedge. The cylindrical gap is swiveled on a pivot axis (301,311,380) by means of a swivel arrangement consisting of an eccentric pulley (345) cooperating with a rotary cam (341) for altering the direction in which the signatures travel. The two cylinders are positioned together in a yoke (351).
