  • Another apparatus for forming stacks is known from EP-A-0 586 802 and the corresponding US-A-5,370,382 known.
  • Two stacking devices arranged next to one another are alternately supplied with printed products to be stacked by means of a gripper conveyor.
  • Each stack forming device has below a Vorstapelraumes a shaft whose shaft space is limited on two opposite sides by guide rails: A raised and lowered shaft bottom is raised in each case to receive a stack formed in Vorstapelraum, and then lowered again until they are arranged on it Objects are arranged below the Vorstapelraum limiting slide plates.
  • the shaft floor is together with the Guide rails rotatable by 180 ° to form a finished stack, in which the partial stacks are arranged offset by 180 ° to each other.
  • articles such as folded printed products, can be stacked to form stable stacks, which have a greater thickness in one edge area than at the opposite edge area.
  • the shaft space is limited on all four sides.
  • the supplied from the top of the shaft objects can be performed on all sides with their vertical movement in the shaft space with play and still the stacked objects can be held in any shaft rotation in the shaft space and thus prevented from lateral displacement and rotation.
  • the guide elements which define the shaft in the ejection direction upstream are used for ejecting the finished stack from the shaft.
  • the means for ejecting the respective stack formed are thus associated with the shaft. This offers the possibility of expelling a Stack already during lowering of the shaft bottom to begin.
  • the substructure of the manhole 10 has a pedestal 14 fixed to a fixed table 16 or floor.
  • a vertical axis hollow shaft 18 is mounted, on which at the lower end a sprocket 20 is seated, which is connected by means of a drive chain 22 with a motor, not shown, for rotating the hollow shaft 18.
