Apparatus for transporting printing paper rolls includes a frame for accommodating a printing paper roll, and a moving mechanism having a plurality of running wheels mounted on the frame and supporting the frame on a floor. The wheels can be aligned for travel in a first direction on a pair of first running rails on the floor, parallel to a printing press. When the frame is lifted by a lifting device so that the wheels are above the first rails, the wheels can be adjusted for travel in a second direction on a pair of second running rails which extend perpendicular to the first running rails.

Apparatus for transporting printing-paper rolls

A method and apparatus for preparing a sheet stack for automated processing in a sheet-fed machine; comprising manipulating a sheet stack and transportation pallet to a release position; removing the transportation pallet, and placing a system pallet adjacent the sheet stack so that it is ready for further processing. The apparatus includes structure performing these functions.

A method and apparatus for preparing a sheet stack for automated processing, wherein a sheet stack and transportation pallet are deposited on a system pallet, the resulting stack is manipulated to a release position where the transportation pallet is freed, the freed transportation pallet is removed, and the sheet stack and system pallet are conveyed away for further processing. The apparatus includes structure for carrying out these steps.

Method for preparing a sheet stack for processing in a sheet-processing

A sheet delivery device is provided that allows for high output and accurate operation during changing of the main stack. The device includes two secondary stack carriers which are normally disposed on opposite sides of the main stack in a first lateral waiting position. The secondary stack carriers are reciprocally moveable between the first lateral waiting position and an operative position. In the operative position, the secondary stack carriers accumulate a secondary stack while the main stack is being changed. This secondary stack is later deposited on the new main stack. Cooperating with the secondary stack carriers are separating elements normally disposed above the secondary stack carriers in a second lateral waiting position. The separating elements are reciprocally moveable between the second lateral waiting position and a separating position. In the separating position, the elements accumulate a temporary stack to form an entry gap above the main stack. The secondary stack carriers, which are plate-like enter this entry gap to arrive at the operating position. The separating elements thereafter deposit the temporary stack on the secondary stack carriers to form the secondary stack.
