A process and an apparatus for forming an imbricated stream of first and second printed products, in which in each case a first and a second printed product are located substantially congruently one upon the other in double imbricated formation. The first and second printed products are individually gripped alternately by an intermediate conveyor and conveyed one behind the other at a conveying spacing d. In each case a first printed product is transferred in a transfer region from the intermediate conveyor to a removal conveyor, which is designed as a belt conveyor, such that the first printed product comes to rest on the belt conveyor and overlaps the preceding printed product in an imbricated manner. A second printed product is then deposited such that it comes to rest substantially congruently on a first printed product which has already been deposited.

Process and apparatus for forming a double imbricated formation of printed products

A force transmission or transport device having a line of force transmitting elements (,), a guide (,) for guiding the line of force transmitting elements (,) along a predetermined course, and at least one drive. A tensioning drive (,) is provided at one end of a section (,) of the predetermined course. A further drive (,), or an intermitting stop (,), is provided at the other end of the section (,) for tensioning the line of force transmitting elements (,) by a tractive or a compressive load. The further drive (,) or stop (,) acts substantially without slippage on the force transmitting elements (,). The tensioning drive (,), via a friction clutch, starts slipping when the desired tension has built up.
