Abstract

The folder for printed sheets (14) in motion comprises rotating blades (7, 8) which are inclined to each other to form a V-shaped gap. As the blades rotate they press against either side of the sheet to produce a central fold. Independent claims are included for: (a) a folding apparatus containing the folder; and (b) a rotary printing machine containing the folding apparatus.
