Depending on whether in the area of the braking device 48; 49 entering sheet B _n in the directly subsequent discharge station I; II is delivered or to be passed over them, are or are the drive 106 and / or the switching means 107 of one or more holding means 92 of the braking device 48; 49 in two mutually different modes of operation m1; m2 (see eg Fig. 21). The operating modes m1; m2 may differ in the speed profile for the holding means 92 and / or in a profile for the activation / deactivation of the holding means 92. Operation in one of the operating modes m1; m2 takes place in each case at least for the duration of one cycle length, wherein the cycle length is based, for example, on the machine and / or printing material phase position and z. B. the length of the phase between the entry of the leading end of a sheet B, and the entry of the leading end 109 of the subsequent sheet B _{i + 1} in the braking device 48; 49 and / or the length of the phase between the exit of the trailing end of a sheet B, and the exit of the trailing end 1 1 1 of the subsequent sheet B _{i + 1} from the braking device 48; 49 may correspond.

The decision as to whether in the area of the braking device 48; 49 entering sheet B _n in the directly subsequent discharge station I; II handed over or should be performed on these can be made by the operator manually or automatically but or be. In the case of an automated decision, this can be done on the basis of a measurement or a preset sequence of copies. For example, so-called. Waste paper copies manually or in a defined number to the respective stack 1 1; 12 are delivered. In the case of formation of a plurality of so-called good-bow stacks, the decision about the delivery via the assignment of the printed sheets to the individual stacks 1 1; 12 met or become.

In the event that the delivery device 03 is designed as a double-stack delivery device 03, the drive 106 and / or the switching means 107 are or are one or more holding means 92 of the braking device 48; 49 in the two different operating modes m1; m2 operated depending on whether the currently incoming printing material sheet B the first stack 1 1, z. B. waste stack 1 1, or the other stack 12, z. B. good bow pile 12, or the

Sheet removal device 87 is to be supplied.

In the advantageous embodiment of the delivery device 03 with several, in particular two stacks 1 1; 12 or dispensing stations I; II is each of the dispensing stations I; II a braking device 48; 49 upstream. Their drive 106 is operable or

operated, so that cooperating with the arc B effective area 1 12 of the

Holding means 92 in at least part of the contact time between the holding means 92 and sheet B with respect to the currently present, determined by the conveyor system 21 conveying speed v32, z. B. a speed of

Holding devices 32 and gripper carriage speed v32, lower, z. B. operated by at least 50% lower storage speed v _ab and / or operable. In a preferred embodiment, its drive 106 can be operated dynamically in such a way that the effective area 1 12 of the holding means 92 cooperating with the sheet B at least between the currently present, determined by the conveyor system 21

Conveying speed v32, z. B. a speed of the holding means 32 and gripper carriage speed v32, and a lower, z. B. is at least 50% lower storage speed v _from continuously variable.

An abzulegender printing material sheet B _n is the input side of the braking device 48; 49 by a holding means 92 of the braking device 48; 49 recorded, in particular sucked pneumatically, which is at or near with, ie more than 95%, the Conveying speed v32, that is, moved without or almost no relative movement between the holding device 32 of the conveyor system 21 and the holding means 92 of the braking device 48, 49 in the transport direction T. After an opening of the holding device 32 has taken place, ie for example after gripper opening, the speed v92 of the holding means 92 is reduced by speed change to the lower depositing speed v _ab , thereby braking the sheet B and finally deposited on the stack 1 1.

The - taking place in particular for the first braking device 48 and the second braking device 49 - for storage in the relevant operating mode m1 reducing the

Speed or deceleration preferably takes place along a predetermined curve, the course of which can be changed in an advantageous embodiment and / or can be parameterized via appropriate input.

The curve or its course can depend on the current production speed, that is to say on the input-side conveyor speed v32 and / or on the nature of the printing material B, and can vary automatically depending on this.

To correct a faulty drop and / or to adapt to a new one

Format length L _B, as such. B. may be required in a production change, the curve and / or its course by operators via variation of corresponding, the curve defining parameters can be changed. In this case, at least the height of the above-mentioned depositing speed v _ab , ie the lower end speed present after the lowering, can be changed by operating personnel.

Instead or preferably in addition to this, the position of the braking device 48; 49 in the transport direction T, in particular the position of the holding means or 92, by the operator changeable.

A not to be deposited, ie to be transferred sheet B _{n + 1} is also the input side the braking device 48; 49 by a holding means 92 of the braking device 48; 49 recorded, in particular sucked pneumatically, which is approximately, ie a maximum deviation of z. B. at most ± 10%, or preferably at most ± 5%, in particular at most ± 3%, with conveying speed v32, ie virtually without

Relative movement between the holding device 32 of the conveyor system 21 and the holding means 92 of the braking device 48, 49, moved in the transport direction T. However, this state is maintained during the further transport of the relevant sheet B _{n + 1} until the sheet B _n with its trailing end 1 1 1, the braking device 48; 49 left or just leaves. The still held by the holding device 32 of the conveyor system 21 bow B is downstream of the

Braking device 48; 49 directly downstream dispensing stations I; II away to another dispensing station I; II or a sheet removal device 87 promoted. To avoid wave formation is the above-mentioned possibly existing deviation z. At most - 10%, preferably at most - 5%, in particular at most - 3%.

The dispensing station I; II, in particular at least the first delivery station I, is in

Bedruckstoffweg thus a braking device 48; 49 upstream or upstream, the

is operable and / or operated in two different operating modes. This is done in dependence on the incoming arch B, provided transport destination.

In the first operating mode m1, z. As a storage mode m1, in which one or more sheets B from the first stack 1 1, z. B. Makulaturstapel are 1 1, to store the rotational speed of the drive 106 changes depending abzulegendem _β sheet at least once ν from a first velocity, _η effecting speed which z. B. as the speed of the incoming sheet substantially - ie with a maximum deviation of ± 10% - the above-mentioned conveying speed v32 corresponds to one of the

Storage speed v _from effective speed and back to essentially conveyor speed v32. Are several consecutive sheets B _n consecutively so that the braking device 48, 49, ie the holding means 92, the speed v92 between conveyor speed v32 to tray speed v _from and back again in time with the incoming and to be deposited sheet B _n changes.

When changing to storage speed v _ab , the speed v92 of the

Holding means 92 during the active contact with the conveyed sheet B preferably lowered to a speed v _from the z. B. at most 50%, advantageously less than 20%, preferably less than 10% of the conveying speed v32. Essentially the conveying speed v32 corresponding higher speed v92 of

Holding means 92 is in stationary operating situation about z. B. at least 4 m / s, for example in the range of 4 to 9 m / s, in particular in the range of 5 to 8 m / s. In contrast, the storage speed v _from z. B. at most 2 m / s, for example in the range of 0.5 to 2 m / s, in particular in the range of 0.7 to 1, 4 m / s.

The deceleration, ie the lowering of the speed v92 of the holding means 92 from the speed v92 corresponding to the conveying speed v32 to the depositing speed v _ab, takes place, for example, in the sheet path s only in a phase in which the front edge 109 of the sheet B to be deposited is _{n + 1} ; B _P only less than half an arc length from the escape s2 to the downstream stack trailing edge and the leading edge 1 1 1 of the sheet to be deposited B _{n + 1} ; B _{P is located} only less than half an arc length from the escape s1 to the upstream stack leading edge.

In the second operating mode m2, z. B. a guide mode m2, in which one or more sheets B on the first stack 1 1, z. B. waste stack 1 1, or the

Delivery station I are to be carried away, the drive 106 is operated over at least the entire phase of contact between the braking device 48, 49, ie the holding means 92, and over the stack 1 1 and the discharge station I wegzuführendem sheet B at a speed which on Holding means 92 a substantially the Conveying speed v32 causes corresponding speed v92. If there is a constant conveying speed v32, this is also constant at least during the above-mentioned contact phase. This second operating mode m2 is basically independent of the presence or the specific embodiment of a first operating mode, but is of particular advantage in connection with an embodiment of a first operating mode set forth here.

In a preferred embodiment of the braking device 48; 49 are over appropriate

Switching means 107 clocked activatable and deactivatable retaining means 92 are provided. For clocking the switching means 107 is available, for example, with control means S107 in

Signal connection, which is designed and arranged to activate and deactivate the holding means 92 synchronized and / or to effect a correlation to a machine and / or printing material phase position Φ. In the case of two operating modes m1; m2, these differ, for example, not only in the phase-related velocity profile, but also in the switching profile for the wiring, d. H. Activation and deactivation of the holding means 92.

In the first operating mode m1, the holding means 92 is deactivated in the entire or at least part of the positive acceleration phase from the depositing speed v _down to the conveying speed v32. In the embodiment as suction elements 92, the suction is at least temporarily set in this phase, ie the application of a negative pressure p ^" on the suction element 92 is interrupted.

In the second operating mode m2, the activation of the holding means 92 over at least the entire phase of the contact between the braking device 48, 49, d. H. the

Holding means 92, and maintained over the stack 1 1 and the dispensing station I wegzuführendem sheet B. Preferably, the suction or the negative pressure p- remains maintained over the entire cycle. In the embodiment as suction elements 92, the suction remains switched on in at least this contact phase, ie the negative pressure p ^" maintained on the suction member 92. Preferably, the suction or the negative pressure p ^" remains over the entire cycle from the entry of the sheet B _n to be transferred into the region of the braking device 48, 49, in particular into the effective range of the

Holding means 92, until the next sheet B _{n + 1} enters the area of the braking device 48; 49, in particular in the effective range of the holding means 92, turned on. If several successive sheets B _{n + 1;} B _{n + 2 can be} successively transferred, the suction or the negative pressure p ^" remain switched on over the duration of the relevant cycles.

By sucking over the entire cycle, in particular over the cycles of several sheets to be transferred, it is ensured that the sheet in the second

Operating mode m2, ie the guide mode m2, the sheet to be transferred B _{n + 1} detected and spans substantially without relative movement over the stack to be transferred 1 1, 12. This prevents or at least reduces a "break-in" of the sheet B _{n + 1} to be transferred into the storage chute of the stack 1 1 to be transferred, which allows transfer without sacrificing quality, which is particularly relevant for high-speed productions.

A suction air permanently switched on in the second operating mode m2 favors the earliest possible starting and holding of the trailing edge of the sheet B.

For the two operating modes m1; m2 are, for example, in the control means S48; S49 two mutually different provisions for the generation of set values for the speed v92 of the holding means 92 held. The regulations include, for example, a dependency on the conveying speed v32 and can also be dependent on further influencing variables and by operating personnel

be parameterizable.

The regulations include each different ToOrdnungsvorschriften between the current conveyor speed v32 and a setpoint or setpoint curve for the speed v92 of the holding means 92. For the ZuOrdnungsvorschrift the second mode of operation m2 is at least for the duration of contact with the sheet B a proportional to the conveying speed v32 correlated course of the holding means speed v92 and for the

For regulation of the first operating mode m1 within at least part of the duration of the contact with the sheet B at least one ramp with a relative to the conveying speed v32 sloping course of the holding means speed v92 provided.

The starting section 78 can in the region of its guide surface 79 and / or in the region of its contact surface 81 and / or in the region of its rounded edge 84 air passage openings 68; 69, in particular blowing air openings 69 or

blown air passage openings 69, have.

In a first preferred embodiment of the starting section 78, this comprises in the Area of the rounded edge 84, that is, in a subsequent to the planar guide surface 79 adjacent curved surface portion 84, a

Blowing device with one or preferably a plurality of blown air openings 97. Die

Blasluftöffnungen 97 may be formed by round or preferably slot-shaped recesses 97 in a rounded edge 84 forming material portion 84, in particular sheet metal portion 84 and from the inside of the start-up section 78 ago, d. H. from the side of the material section 84 facing away from the printing material transport, be supplied with blast air. The blast air supply can be formed by an air box which adjoins the material section 84 on the inside.

In a preferred embodiment, the blast air supply is formed by a blowing air line 98 running on the inside of the material section in the transverse direction, the wall of which in turn comprises outlet openings arranged corresponding to the blown air openings 97. The blast air line 98 is preferably formed at least in the region of its side facing the material portion 84 with a corresponding to the inside of the material portion shape. For example, the blast air duct 98 is a blower tube having a circular outer peripheral cross section and the material portion 84 is at least in the region of its blast air duct 97

opposite section in cross-section circular arc. The blast air openings 97 provided in the material section 84 have a direction that is greater than the outlet openings, at least in a direction in the direction of movement of the printing material passing over the starting section 84

Opening cross-section on. This ensures, for example, a secure passage of air.

In a particularly advantageous development, the preferably tube-like blown air line 98 can be mounted pivotably about an axis extending in the transverse direction. This makes it possible to adjust the position of the blown air outlet along the sheet movement direction at least slightly, in particular with respect to the outlet openings in the above-described larger blown air openings 97. The starting section 78 designed in this way can in principle be used independently of the design of the dispensing device 03 with a plurality of dispensing station I; II be provided in the region of a beginning of a sheet guiding elements comprehensive conveyor line.

However, this is preferably at the beginning of a between two dispensing stations I; II arranged conveyor line provided.

Conventionally, the sheet B, guided only at the front edge by the conveyor system 21 or the holding device 32, in particular the holding elements 56, sinks into the shaft of the overrun dispensing station I; II until it is in equilibrium with the forming at the bottom of natural air cushion. The continuation of the bowing on predominantly horizontal guideway can be crossed at the end of the

Dispensing station I; II - especially in certain operating situations with, for example, low stack level .- lead to a harmful level jump. In this case, the natural air cushion can not, the sheet B as a wing over this stage on the following sheet guide 47.5; 78, in particular run-up plate 78 to lift. Especially at higher speeds, it may come to a striking contact with damaging contact on the underside of the arc B.

The possible effects may be due to one or more of the aforementioned

Measures (rounding and / or blowing air) are avoided or at least mitigated. Instead of or in addition to one or more of the named

Measures is in a particularly advantageous embodiment of the delivery device 03 and / or the sheet guiding device 47 and / or of a dispensing station I; II directly downstream sheet guiding element 47.5; 78, in particular one of a

Height variation of the starting section 78 is stored to reach the finish stack height, down to a lower layer Lu, in which z. B. is stored in production at the beginning of stacking (see, for example, Fig. 9a) and c). The latter is approached, for example, when the time of the process of the stacking table 36; 37 should at least partially be used until reaching the working height assumed above for the printing and / or if at the beginning of stacking the working height, d. H. that in the o. g.

Continuing pressure level of the top sheet layer to be ideally taken, due to a limited travel for the stacking table 36; 37 is not accessible with low stack heights. The between these two layers L ₀ ; Although Lu located layers L _z (.. See, e.g., Fig 9b) can in principle be approached stationary in other specific operating situations or can be, or are, however, regularly on the way between the other two layers L _0; Only pass through dynamically. Of the

operatively provided adjustment range between the upper and lower layer L ₀ ; For example, Lu amounts to at least 50 mm, preferably more than 100 mm. Basically, on one or both sides beyond these two limits (layer L ₀ and layer Lu) beyond layers be mitfahrbei, which, however, are approachable, for example, for set-up or maintenance or other non-operational actions.

The start-up section 78 is designed and / or supported by the said variability in such a way that it also reduces levels which are lower than the maximum or in-progress stack level, the current stack level with the, preferably horizontal, sheet guide level higher for this case, ie. H. the level specified by the course of the conveyor system connects. Here, the "stack level" is understood to mean the vertical position of the upper stack end.

In principle, the drive for varying the position of only one side can be done by only one actuator with motor 283 or from two sides by a respective actuator with motor 283. In an advantageous embodiment, the positioning is effected by an actuator with only one motor 283, but from two sides. For this purpose, for example, both sides medium or directly on the starting section 78 engaging gear 284 are provided, the movement of which is mechanically, for. B. via a shaft 291, is synchronized. The two synchronized drive trains of the actuator are driven by a motor 283 at any point, for example on one of the two sides.

The sheet guide 47.5; 78 or the sheet guide 47.5; 78 in the vertical position varying drive means 283, for example, not shown here Controls be manually adjustable. Instead or advantageously in addition to this, the sheet guiding element 47.5; 78 or the sheet guide 47.5; 78 varying in the vertical position drive means 283 preferably via automated

In operation, the vertical position of at least the upstream end of the starting section 78 is thus correlated to the vertical position of the stack top in the upstream stacking space 44; 46 varies. Here, the vertical position of the upstream end or the drive means 283 is controllable, for example, depending on the position of the stack top information representing. Instead, or in addition to, the vertical location of the upstream end or drive means 283 may be used in conjunction with and / or correlated to control the vertical position of the stacking table 36; 37 be controllable and / or controlled.

In order to provide information representing the position of the top of the stack, it is possible, for example, to provide a sensor system configured for this purpose. their

Output signals or processed results are z. B. the

Control means supplied or can be forwarded to this. For example, above the stack 1 1, 12, a distance sensor or in the upstream end face of the starting section 78, a sensor which detects the upper stack edge can be provided.

The sheet guiding element 78 is preferably arranged and / or stored in the delivery device 03, so that at within operationally

provided adjustment range lying variation of the vertical position of the upstream end of the sheet guide element 78 each of the upstream stacking space 44; 46 perpendicular to the transport direction T facing end face of the

Sheet guiding element 78 come to rest on a substantially vertical line. The "essentially vertical line" should also be a straight line vertically extending line include like a straight line with a maximum deviation of 5 ° to the vertical straight or constant or varying curved line whose minimum radius of curvature twice that in the transport direction T

extending length of the sheet guiding element 78 corresponds. This course of the lines is common, that in the respective vertical position respectively opposite to the

Direction of transport T directed stack space next end face areas and thus also the position of the first touch by a creeping bow B does not change significantly despite vertical variation in the horizontal direction.

This substantially vertical location of the upstream end is via an actuator located directly on or at least near the end to be moved -, i. H.

For example, in a transport direction (T) considered first tenth of

Sheet guide element length - engages the start-up section 78 and the start-up section 78 displaced at the point of action along a vertically extending rectilinear motion.

However, this should be against the background of the Leitelementdimensionen negligible deviations in the range of a few millimeters, z. B. of up to 5 mm, mitumzufassen. By maintaining the level, a transition to a subsequent section or sheet guiding element 47.5 independently of the vertical position of the upstream end in the above sense can be kept quasi-continuous.

Sheet guiding device on the between two discharge stations I; II lying conveyor line end with the upstream end of the start-up section 78.

The start-up section 78, which is also referred to as start-up plate 78, can be made in several parts, eg. B. may be formed of several adjoining baffles. In this case, the guide contour of the start-up section 78 can sit flat and curved sections together. In an advantageous embodiment, the starting section 78 comprises in the region of the guide surface 79 and / or in the region of the bent edge 84 o. G.

For moving all, one group or preferably of the single stop means 83; 86, the drive means 99 can basically be designed arbitrarily. However, it is preferably embodied as a cylinder-piston system 99 that can be acted upon with pressurized fluid, in particular as a pneumatic cylinder 99. The groups or individual stop means 83; Although 86 moving pneumatic cylinder 99 may in principle be connected via a common switching valve and / or supplied with compressed air. Preferably, however, for each of the groups or individually to be moved stop means 83; 86 each have their own switching means 101, in particular switching valves 101, short valves 101, provided, on which, for example

Compressed air is present on the input side and which via appropriate control signals the applied compressed air can be switched to the output side and via a

Line connection the relevant pneumatic cylinder 99 can be acted upon.

In principle, the groups or preferably individual stop means 83; 86 via the drive means 99 associated switching means 101 and valves 101, for example, in the manner of a valve terminal, be centrally summarized at one point. In a preferred embodiment, the switching means 101, in particular valves 101 but decentralized and / or at least in groups or preferably all spatially spaced from each other, in particular arranged in each case close to the associated pneumatic cylinder 99. In this case, the switching means 101 or valves 101, for example, each closer to the associated pneumatic cylinder 99 arranged as to or one of the other pneumatic cylinder 99. At least they are closer to the associated pneumatic cylinder 99 arranged as half of the distance between the two furthest apart pneumatic cylinders 99th

A switching of the valves 101 takes place, for example, synchronized and / or in correlation to a machine and / or printing material phase position of control means S83 (S86) of a control device, which for example is in signal communication with a sensor or a master, from which it controls the machine and or

Information concerning printing material phase position and / or representing Ι (Φ) receives. A movement of the stops in the active position can then take place, for example, exactly in a gap between two incoming printing material sheet B. At known and / or constant sheet travel, for example, by a pre-tax

Dead time compensation done.

The control means S83 (S86) may be part of a higher-level machine control or else provided in a decentralized manner and, if necessary, connected to such.

The switching of the stop means 83; 86 takes place z. B. depending on whether a printing material B in the upstream dispensing station I; II, or should be forwarded to another dispensing station II or a sample sheet removal.

In the case of the abovementioned blowing device integrated in the region of the edge 84, for example, an activation and deactivation of a blast air supply takes place as a function of whether a printing material sheet B in the upstream dispensing station I; II, or else to another dispensing station II or a sample sheet withdrawal

should be further promoted.

In an advantageous development of the starting section 78, in the guide surface 79 and / or in the guide surface 79 continuing surface of the

Sheet guiding element 41.5 blowing air openings 69, in particular in the manner of Venturi nozzles 69, provided.

In a first embodiment, for example, as a stop means 83rd

Start-up section 78 integrated and / or arranged on this. Here, the guide surface 79 z. B. recesses 102, in which the trained example in the first embodiment stops 83 are retracted in the inactive state. In the embodiment with vertically variable upstream start-up section end, this stop device can then be fixed to the frame with pivotable stop means 83 or can be arranged to be vertically movable together with the start-up section end.

Furthermore, in a variant of the embodiment not shown here, the stop device comprising the pivotable stop means 83 can be integrated into the structural unit of the start-up section 78, which already has the printing material sheet B applied in the upstream dispensing station I.

hold down, while subsequent printing material B to another

Delivery station II or a donor site are transferred. Such

Holding device is z. B. in the event of an intentional re-storage of another sheet B on the stack 1 1, 12 of the upstream discharge station I preferably at least for the time required for this from the movement path, in particular at least the fall path of the sheet B removable. By such a holding device entrainment already filed sheet B can be prevented, but at least made difficult or inhibited.

When filing change from the first to a subsequent stack 1 1; 12, z. B. the

Makulaturstapel 1 1 on the good sheet stack 12, the necessary for filing on the first stack 1 1, the sheet B catching stop means 83 are brought out of trajectory of the sheet B in order for the transfer of printing material B, z. B. Gutbogen to have a free passport room available. However, the problem may arise that -. B. despite any possibly provided blowing device - the last just filed bow B, which possibly still provided with air inclusions

Form "buoyant" Ries and by the fluidic forces of, for example, designed as a gripper carriage 32 holding devices 32, which promote the bow B at full speed, a Trift arises, which can lead to entrainment of the ream or single arch B at the end. In order to counteract this, one or more stops 83 - as in the first embodiment set forth above - be designed and movably mounted so that they are in the active state, ie in the active position, in the path of movement of the printing material B and B this with a leading end of the sheet facing side, z. As a stop surface, are effective as a front stop, and in the inactive state, ie inactive position, from the trajectory incoming printing material B moved out, so are arranged outside the trajectory, and for the incoming printing material B without impact effect.

In addition to this, one or more of the movable stop means 83 is associated with a holding means 299 forcibly moved with the movement of the stop means 83 and protruding beyond the stop face in the direction of the incoming printing material sheet 83 in at least one inactive position of the stop means 83 Retains the uppermost substrate sheet B in the region of its downstream edge from being lifted off and entrained by the printing material sheet B to be transferred. Preferably, the holding means 299 comes in the active position of the associated stop means 83 downstream and / or above the movement path of the printed material to be dispensed to the stack 1 1 sheet B and in inactive position of the associated stop means 83 below the path of movement over the stack 1 1 away to be further promoted Substrate sheet B and above the uppermost substrate sheet B of the stack 1 1 to lie.

The stop means 83 associated holding means 299 thus stops at inactive

Stop means 83, the uppermost layer of the stack 1 1 down against a lifting and / or entrainment by subsequently to be transferred to printing material B. In this case, the holding means 299 in holding position actually or almost, z. B. with a maximum of one

slight distance, be spent in touching contact with the top stack layer. A maximum slight distance can z. B. correspond to a length, with which viewed in plan view, the retaining means located in holding position 299 and the stack floor plan at the downstream end of the stack 1 1 in the transport direction T overlap. The assignment of the holding means 299 can be implemented in a preferred embodiment such that an upper part of the stop means 83, which is in an inactive position, comprises the holding means 299 which reaches upstream over the stack edge. Alternatively, a holding means 299- rigid or via a mechanical coupling - be so connected to the stop means 83, so forced by movement of the stop means 83, the required movement of the holding means 299 takes place and / or conversely with movement of the holding means 299 the relevant movement of the stop means 83rd

Preferably, the stop means 83 as in the active position the approaching printing material B is designed as a front stop stop 83 which - especially in the region of its inactive position upper end - to hold down the topmost stack layer as a holding means 299 a rising upstream on the stop surface 302 and with the stack floor plan at its downstream end, at least as a holding means 299 overlapping projection 299 in the manner of a downwardly bent retaining finger. The hold-down projection 299 or holding finger can also be referred to as a cover mark 299.

In the execution of the stop means 83, in which they include the holding means 299 beat when stored on the stack 1 1 to be deposited substrate B, z. B. waste sheet, against these movable stop means 83 and stops 83 at. When further conveying the substrate B, z. B. good bow, over the stack 1 1 away, z. B. to a subsequent discharge station II, these stop means 83 are moved from their lying in the trajectory "catcher position" in an out of trajectory retreat position, wherein the embraced by the stops 83 holding means 299 and 299 Deckmarken the topmost stack arch against entrainment and / or hold against slipping. In principle, the movement of the stop means 83 can be effected by pivoting, wherein z. B. contrary to the above embodiment, the pivoting for taking the retreat position not downstream, but takes place in the upstream direction. In this case, by the upwardly pivoted stop means 83, for example, hold down the topmost stack sheet. The movement can also take place on any other movement path, provided that the stop means 83 and the retaining means 299 assigned to it assume the positions defined above.

In a preferred embodiment, however, the stop means 83 is arranged and / or stored such that the movement of the retaining means 299 comprising

Lifting means 83 is rectilinear, in particular on a substantially

vertical line, d. H. a maximum of 5 °, in particular by a maximum of 2 °, preferably by a maximum of 1 ° from the vertical deviating direction. Preferably, the movement of the abutment means 83 is guided, so that the or at least one point of the holding surface facing the sheet B to be held is subjected to an exact straight guide.

Preferably, the stop means 83 is arranged and / or stored such that the holding means 299 in the retraction movement in the entire operating range, the z. B. from an upper layer, in which an incoming sheet B is trapped or is to be, to a lower layer in which an incoming sheet B can happen and the upper stack sheet is held down, the stack floor plan in the region of the downstream end stack never leaves completely, d. H. always an o. g. in plan view. Overlap between holding means 299 and stack floor plan remains. The retraction movement ends, for example, in contact or at least - in the above sense - close to the contact with the top sheet B of the stack 1.

As already stated above, for moving all, one group or preferably of the single stop means 83; 86, the drive means 99 basically be executed arbitrarily, however, is preferably treated as pressurized fluid Bares Cylinder-piston system 99, in particular as a pneumatic cylinder 99 executed.

For applying the pneumatic cylinder 99, the number and location of the switching means 101, in particular switching valves 101, and for their control via control means S83 (S86) of a control device, the above mentioned applicable or corresponding

apply.

The movement causing drive means 99, z. As the pneumatic cylinder 99, can basically directly on the output side of the holding means 299 comprehensive stop means 83 attack. Preferably, however, the drive of the stop means 83 via a gear, z. B. via a travel of the drive means 99 magnifying gear. In an advantageous embodiment, this transmission is designed as, in particular schnellschaltbares, coupling gear. For example, this is designed as a linear guide transmission based on an isosceles crank. The moving stop means 83 acts for this purpose in the direction of movement considered in at least one point with a guide 297, z. B. linear guide 297 together, so that the stop means 83 is at least at the level of this point linearly movable or is moved.

In principle, a point of the stop means 83 which is viewed in the direction of movement could additionally be guided linearly by the same or a further linear guide 297. On the stop means 83 engages over a perpendicular to the direction of movement defined by the linear guide 297 pivot axis 301, a gear member 292, z. B. a coupling 292 at. Distances from this pivot axis 301 engages a further, parallel to the first pivot axis 301 extending second pivot axis 298 another gear member 296, z. B. a crank 296, on the coupling 292. The crank 296 is mounted on a frame 303 about one of the first two pivot axes 301; 298 parallel pivot axis 304 pivotally mounted. In a preferred embodiment corresponds to the between the first two pivot axes 298; 301 effective length of the coupling 292 of the between the second and third pivot axis 298; 304 effective length of the crank 296th For the rotary actuator of the crank 296 or the crank coupling system can in principle any suitable drive mechanism, such as a direct

Rotary drive of the crank 296 or engaging a drive means 99 at a point spaced from the pivot axis 304 point of the crank 296. In these cases, the above-mentioned guidance of the stop means 83 would be at two spaced apart in the direction of movement advantage.

In a preferred embodiment, multiple or significantly coupling in the direction of movement with the linear guide 297 can be dispensed with, in that the coupling 292, when moved by the crank 296, is defined in a coupling-fixed point spaced from the second pivot axis 298

Movement curve is forced. The coupling-resistant second attack point can

basically in the two first pivot axes 298; 301 connecting

Connection section are, however, is preferably in a

Connecting portion beyond the second pivot point 298 in a direction different to the direction of action of the connecting portion, in particular opposite direction continuing portion 307. This portion 307 may be part of a over the

Point of application of the second pivot axis 298 elongated coupling 292 or be designed as a rigidly connected to the coupling 292 lever arm and is independently hereinafter referred to as the coupling 292 extending portion 307.

Preferably, the coupling 292 is in this spaced coupling-fixed point via a guide 294, z. B. linear guide 294, to a rectilinear, in particular perpendicular to the direction of movement defined by the linear guide 297 and the first two pivot axes 298; 301 running trajectory, forced. The coupling 292 or the continuation of this section is in this spaced coupling-fixed point via a likewise to the first and second pivot axis 301; 298 parallel further, z. B. fourth pivot axis 306 pivotally mounted. As mentioned above, the drive center 99 could basically act directly on the crank 296, but here preferably acts on the coupling 292, in particular on the coupling 292 extending section 307. The attack takes place z. B. via a likewise to the first and second pivot axis 301; 298 parallel further, z. B. fifth pivot axis 308 between the second and the fourth pivot axis 298; 306th

Preferably, the attack of the drive takes place on the coupling 292 or the coupling 292 extending portion 307 at a distance from the second pivot axis 298, which is less than half the distance between the first and second pivot axis 301; 298 corresponds. Due to these length ratios, we enable a translation of a short Antriebsmittelhubes in a large adjusting movement.

The attacking on the stop means 86 transmission can - such. As shown in Fig. 14 and Fig. 15 - be designed and arranged such that the pivot axes 298; 301; 304; 306; 308 extend perpendicular to the transport direction T. However, it may alternatively be designed and arranged rotated by 90 °, so that the pivot axes 298; 301; 304; 306; 308 in the transport direction T run.

Although the execution of the delivery device 03 and / or sheet guiding device with an adjoining the discharge station sheet guiding element 78 with variable in its vertical position end as well as the design of the delivery device 03 and / or sheet guiding device with the or the holding means 299 comprehensive

Anchoring device can also be used advantageously on its own, their combined design has particular advantages with regard to the safe and gentle transport of the printing material B (see, for example, Fig. 1 1, Fig. 12 and Fig. 13 and Fig. 14).

Thus, for example, Fig. 1 1 shows the upstream end of the sheet guiding element 78 in the upper position L ₀ , while the holding means 299 comprehensive stop means 83 in Fig. 1 1 a) in the active position for striking L _A and in Fig. 1 1 b ) is in holding position L _H. The illustrations in FIGS. 12 and Fig. 13 show the same situation, but in FIG. 12 in the lower position l_u on and in Fig. 13 with _z in an intermediate position L
