Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung (1) und ein Verfahren zum Fördern von flexiblen, flächigen Gegenständen (100, 100'), insbesondere Druckereiprodukten, mit einer Mehrzahl von Förderelementen (10), welche durch ein entlang einer geschlossenen Umlaufbahn (U) antreibbares Förderorgan (20) in einer Förderrichtung (F) bewegbar sind und imstande sind, wenigstens einen Gegenstand (100, 100') aufzunehmen und zu fördern. Zum Stabilisieren der Gegenstände (100, 100') insbesondere in Bereichen (B) der Umlaufbahn (U), in denen grosse Beschleunigungen auftreten ist eine Stabilisierungseinrichtung (30) mit wenigstens einem Stabilisierungsorgan (32, 33, 36) vorhanden. Die Stabilisierungseinrichtung (30) bildet eine nachgiebige Stabilsierungslinie (34') oder Stabilisierungsfläche (34) aus und drückt die Gegenstände (100, 100') wenigstens in einem Teil der Umlaufbahn gegen das Förderelement (10). Hierdurch wird verhindert, dass sich die Gegenstände relativ zum Förderelement (10) verschieben, was zu Problemen bei der Weiterverarbeitung führen kann.

The invention relates to a device (1) and a method for conveying flexible, flat objects (100, 100 '), in particular printed products, having a plurality of conveying elements (10) which can be driven by a conveying member (U) which can be driven along a closed orbit (U). 20) are movable in a conveying direction (F) and are capable of receiving and conveying at least one article (100, 100 '). To stabilize the objects (100, 100 '), in particular in regions (B) of the orbit (U) in which large accelerations occur, a stabilizing device (30) with at least one stabilizing member (32, 33, 36) is provided. The stabilizer (30) forms a compliant stabilizing line (34 ') or stabilizing surface (34) and pushes the articles (100, 100') against the conveyor (10) at least in part of the orbit. This prevents that the objects move relative to the conveying element (10), which can lead to problems in further processing.
