  • the processing station has one so-called delivery roller 26, which executes the paper in the paper running direction A and optionally feeds another processing station.
  • the delivery roller 26 As already shown in Fig. 1 are further rollers behind the delivery roller 26, i.e. counter to the paper running direction, especially the knife rollers 16 and 18, where it is necessary to equip the check at regular intervals and change if necessary.
  • the side wall 14 is one Folding unit 10 according to the invention shown.
  • the recess 17 is in the side wall 14 provided, in which the machining element 20 is pivotable about the axis 28 is introduced.
  • the processing element 20 has a side wall 24 which is shaped in this way is that it fits 17 in the recess. Furthermore is in the processing element 20 an output roller 26 is provided.
  • Three swivel positions S1, S2 are exemplary and S3 of the processing element 20 are shown.
  • the swivel position represents S1 the processing station 20 completely inserted into the folder. In this position the processing station is also firmly connected to the rolling mill.
  • the processing station can be released for access to the pair of knife shafts 16, 18 20 about the axis 28 in the paper running direction, for. B. in the two positions S2 and S3 swing.
  • a grid can be provided, which is the processing element 20 holds at defined grid intervals between the pivot position S1 and S3.
  • the element 20 can also be pivoted using a rasterless mechanism be, which in particular allows locking in the pivot positions S1 and S3. As soon as the processing element 20 is pivoted into the grid position S3, the Access to the pair of cutter shafts 16 and 18 free.
  • the folding mechanism according to the invention thus offers the particular advantage that the loading can be easily changed on the cutter shafts or for other work easier access is possible.
  • the locking of the processing element 20 is disengaged again and that Machining element swung back from position S3 to position S1.
  • the processing element is locked in this position, in particular screwed and the drive of the feed roller 26 is reactivated. This can be done, for example take place that the delivery roller 26 is provided with a side gear, which in his interventions are positioned.
  • the folding unit according to the invention can also have a traverse 30.
  • this traverse 30 are usually Additional elements such as wipers and light sensors applied. More advantageous
  • the crossbeam 30 lying over the processing element 20 also becomes like this equipped pivotable, so that even with the pivoting of the traverse 30 Adjustment work on the knife shafts and on the crossbar itself can be facilitated.
  • the folding mechanism according to the invention is in Side view shown in Fig. 4.
  • the side wall 14 of the folder is a Knife shaft pair 16 and 18 rotatably supported, and a recess 17 is provided in which a processing element 32 is used, the one side wall 34, and a Knife shaft pair 36, 38 has.
  • Delivery roller 40 is provided, which is used to run out of the folder Execute sheets of paper.
  • the side wall 34 of the processing element 32 is shaped that they are inserted into the recess 17 of the side wall of the folder and locked there can be. For this purpose, it can have, in particular, a projection which extends into the Recess 17 engages.
  • a further embodiment of the folding unit according to the invention is shown in side view in Fig. 5 shown.
  • a side wall 14 of the folding mechanism has a recess 17 in which incorporates a processing element 42 whose side wall 44 is shaped in such a way that it can be inserted into the recess 17 and locked there.
  • the Processing element 42 has two downstream knife shafts 36 and 38 which, as in FIG The variability of the folding unit already described in the previous examples increase significantly.
  • Recess 46 is provided, in which in turn a further processing element 20, can preferably be introduced pivotably.
  • Such a modular structure folder according to the invention can be optimally adapted to the respective needs, since in principle it is possible to have any number of processing stations 42 to be provided in succession, each of which is a downstream pair of knife shafts 36, 38 wearing.
