A signature slow-down section in a folder of a printing press for slowing down signatures is provided. The folder is driven by a folder drive mechanism and the signature slow-down section includes a frame, a slow-down mechanism supported by the frame, and a motor connected to the slow-down mechanism for rotatably driving the slow-down mechanism separately from the folder drive mechanism. The motor is selectively operable to drive the slow-down mechanism at a speed in response to the position of the signatures relative to the slow-down mechanism.

Apparatus for slowing down and guiding a signature and method for doing the same

An improved delivery section of a folder of a printing press in which the bucket assemblies and side guides are adjustable to accommodate varying widths of signatures.

Delivery apparatus for a printing press

A folder of a printing press wherein the bucket assemblies are mounted on shafts cantilevered from the folder frame, and wherein each shaft is rotatably driven and positionally controlled by a motor that is mechanically independent of the folder drive mechanism.

Motor driven delivery buckets

An adjustable signature stripping mechanism for stripping signatures from a rotating bucket assembly in a folder of a printing press. The mechanism includes a stripper shaft having a mounting portion and a pivot axis and a plurality of strippers mounted on the stripper shaft for stripping signatures from the bucket assembly and wherein the strippers are non-rotatable relative to the stripper shaft and slidable positionable along the stripper shaft.
