In order to produce final printed products () in the same compartment (), a first product for insertion () is inserted into a first folded printed product (), and a second product for insertion () is inserted into a second folded printed product (). The printed products () are displaced in the direction of the folds (), and as a result each of the printed products () has an edge section () projecting beyond the other printed product. This permits fault-free, simple access to each of the printed products () in order to open and insert the products for insertion ().

Method and apparatus for producing final printed products

Two folded and printed products () are introduced into a pocket-like holding compartment () with respective ones of their side surfaces resting against each other and are moved in such position jointly along a processing section in a direction running transversely with respect to the folded edge. In the course of this movement, the printed products () are displaced in opposite directions (H, I) relative to each other in the direction of their folded edge and toward opening elements (). The opening elements () move between the two halves () of the two printed products () and have the effect that the two product halves () are lifted off each other. Inserts are then inserted into the printed products () opened simultaneously in this way. In a second embodiment, first and second clamping fingers () act in conjunction with a pivotable separating element () to open the two printed products.

Apparatus for producing final printed products

Holding elements () equipped for transporting individual articles () in a held manner and being movable along a stretch of rail () independently of one another at least to a limited extent and having in pushed operation a regular minimum distance between one another, are banked-up during transportation at a banking-up point by a banking-up device () to form an accumulation store () upstream of the banking-up point. The holding elements are released in groups from the accumulation store () in a controlled manner and are conveyed away from the accumulation store. The holding elements () in the groups () advantageously are spaced the minimum distance from one another. For pre-forming the groups to be released () there is a further banking-up device () provided in the accumulation store (). The further banking-up device acts at a further banking-up point upstream of the first banking-up point. The stream of groups being conveyed away from the accumulation store () can be supplied without any further transformation steps to a unit, in which the groups of articles held by holding elements () are processed (e.g. stacked and packed).
