The apparatus according to the invention, which serves for transporting supplementary products, in particular sheet-like printed products provided with adhesive, from a receiving location to a discharge location, has at least one retaining element which is moved along a continuous circulatory path and by means of which supplementary products can be gripped at the receiving location and released again at a discharge location. By means of a control arrangement, with changeover operation, during the transportation from the receiving location to the discharge location, the retaining element, which is mounted such that it can be rotated about an axis which is located at least more or less perpendicularly to the circulatory path, is optionally left unchanged in a rotary position or rotated about the axis through a certain angle until an end position of the transported supplementary product which is envisaged for further processing has been reached.

Apparatus and process for transporting supplementary products

The invention concerns a device for verifying, in particular for counting, preferably sheet-like articles ( ), in particular printing products, having at least one feeler ( ) which can be acted on by articles ( ) moving in relation to the feeler ( ) in a verification region and can be moved from a stable feeling position into a stable evaluating position, a sensor ( ) for generating a verification signal when the feeler ( ) is in the evaluating position and a returning member ( ) for returning the feeler ( ) into the feeling position.

Verifying device

The apparatus has a first conveyor,and a second conveyor,mounted immediately downstream thereof. Arranged above the first conveyor,is a position changing device,, whose displacement elements,are intended to strike the trailing edge,&prime; of fed objects,and to feed them to the second conveyor at the correct phase angle. Arranged at the end of the first conveyor,is a restraining device,, whose restraining element,projects into the movement path of the leading edges,&prime; of the objects,and in each case is briefly withdrawn from this restraining position into a release position outside the movement path of the leading edges,&prime; when a displacement element,is moving an object,past it into the delivery nip,The restraining device,prevents too many objects arriving being fed to the second conveyor,out of synchronism.
