• the first feed conveyor 10 and the second feed conveyor 12 may be formed as a gripper conveyor. Moreover, it is conceivable to provide one or more further feed conveyors downstream of the second feed conveyor 12 in order to supply different inserts 20 to the printed products 18.
• Under multiple-sheet printed products 18 are understood to be those which have at least two sheets', which may be formed by the two leaves of a folded sheet. It is also conceivable that the
• Printed products 18 consist of a folded part, in which a further part is arranged.
• the printed product may also be formed by a stack of sheets.
• the supplement may be formed in one piece or several pieces. It can have the same format as the printed product or a smaller format.
• the supplement does not have to be a printed product, it may also be formed for example by a CD or the like.
• the removal conveyor 22 may be designed differently.
• the opening assembly 82 may be configured differently than shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and 6a and described above.
• the opening members 86 circulate along an elongated path of movement instead of along a circular trajectory.
• a translational back and forth movement is conceivable.
• the opening unit is to be adjusted and adjusted when changing the format of the printed products to be processed.
• the wall 44 of a receiving element 14 and its associated hold-open element 50 which is arranged on the leading receiving element 14, at a small acute angle of about 10 °, ie almost parallel to each other, wherein the end edge of the bottom 42 approximately in the of the hold-open element 50 defined level lies.
• This angle can be chosen smaller or larger; in any case, it is chosen so small that printed products with very little intrinsic stability when resting on the hold-open element 50 do not buckle as a result of the weight of the second product part 18 ''.
