  • the schematic diagram according to Fig. 8 For one of the cam elements 87, optional modifications of the cone shape are shown in dashed lines. Accordingly, the outer surface of the cam members 87, 88 may also be slightly curved, depending on the application inwardly or outwardly.
  • Fig. 9 shows a further embodiment of an engagement device 94, which is formed as a one-piece engagement rotor 95 with inwardly curved cone shape.
  • the engagement device 104 shown has a main body 105 and an elongate engagement rotor 25 protruding from the main body 105. As shown, the axis of rotation R of the engagement rotor 25 is inclined relative to the cutting plane S, so that accordingly also the folded edges 77 of disc laid 19 'obliquely to the cutting plane S.
  • the main body 105 of the engagement device 104 is pivotable about a vertical pivot axis SW and additionally displaceable in and against the Abtransportides A, as in Fig. 10 indicated by double arrows. It is understood that due to this adjustability by means of the engagement device 104 numerous different storage images can be generated. Exemplary are in Fig. 10 a portion 123 with parallel folding edges 77 and a portion 223 with mutually inclined folding edges 77 shown.
  • Fig. 11 shows a cutting plane S, which are delivered to three tracks product bars 17. Each track is associated with an engagement device 104, which is similar to the one in FIG Fig. 10 shown engaging device 104 is designed.
  • the main body 105 of the engagement devices 104 are coupled together by a coupling linkage 106.
  • the engagement rotors 25 of different tracks may also be inclined differently.
  • the axes of rotation R of two adjacent engagement rotors 25 are arranged symmetrically so as to produce partial portions 123 with symmetrically extending fold edges 77.
  • the two partial portions 123 can then be joined together to form a total portion 323, in which the folding edges 77 of laterally adjacent discs 19 'meet in an arrow-like manner.
  • Fig. 13a and 13b show a further embodiment of an engagement device 204.
  • the engagement device 204 is formed here as an elongate deformation element in the form of an elastically flexible wire bracket 205.
  • the wire bracket 205 is anchored in the region of its longitudinal ends to respective attachment points 206 of a suitable frame (not shown). If the distance between the two attachment points 206 starting from the in Fig. 13a shown stretched Base position is reduced, the wire hanger 205 bends as in Fig. 13b and forms a bulge 207, which projects into the fall path of the discs 19. Thus, by varying the distance between the two attachment locations 206, one can alternate between a folded and an unfolded disc tray.
  • the wire bracket 205 may be rigid or rotatable about its longitudinal axis.
  • a rotation of the wire bracket 205 to the attachment points 206 allows both a wegschwenken the bent wire clip 205 from the fall path and on the other hand, a temporary Mitschwenken the wire bracket 205 with a falling disc 19.
  • an articulated arm arrangement 205 'as in FIG Figs. 14a and 14b may be provided, which forms an elongate deformation element of an engagement device 204 '.
  • the middle portion of the Gelenkarman extract 205 ' may carry a rotatably mounted sleeve 210.
