A folding table, in particular for a folding device which is provided with a chopper folding device, includes a folding face which is suitable for receiving a flat product to be folded, and a folding aperture which extends in a conveying direction, the table extending along a table plane. The folding face includes guides which are capable of guiding at least one conveyor for conveying a flat product to be folded in the conveying direction.

Folding table and corresponding chopper folding device

This device for braking a flat product, in particular a signature, has a support, a brake shoe for braking the flat product, the brake shoe being movable between a position allowing the passage of the flat product and a position effecting braking of the flat product, and a drive for driving the brake shoe from the passing position towards the braking position. The drive includes an eccentric element which is movable in rotation and co-operates with the brake shoe.

Device for braking flat products and corresponding folder

This table for a chopper folding device comprises a surface () for application of products to be folded (), the application surface () extending along an application plane (PA), a folding opening () suitable for the passage of the products to be folded (), at least one first guide portion () disposed adjacent to the folding opening () and comprising a first guide surface () inclined with respect to application plane. The table () comprises guiding means suitable for urging the product to be folded towards the first guide surface () and a first main suction hole () which opens on the first guide surface ().

A folding roller is provided for a device for folding a flat product to be folded which extends along a center axis and includes a first axial portion and a second axial portion, the first axial portion having a first surface for folding the product to be folded. The second axial portion includes a main relief which is radially recessed relative to the first folding surface.

Folding roller and corresponding folding device

A fan delivery for a folding apparatus is provided, having at least one fan wheel including a number of fan-wheel elements and having a signature guide member that is movable relative to the fan wheel, in which the signature guide member has at least one arm that is introducible into a space defined by two fan-wheel elements. A folding apparatus is also provided.

Fan delivery for a folding apparatus

A rotary-blade folding unit includes at least one folding blade, a pair of folding rollers and a drive for producing a hypocycloid movement of the folding blade about a rotational axis of the folding blade and a main rotational axis for folding a signature that has been guided up to the rotary-blade folding unit in a transport plane extending between the main rotational axis and the folding rollers, and further includes a drive mechanism for producing an oscillatory movement of the folding blade at least approximately parallel to the main rotational axis; a folder including the folding unit; and a printing machine in combination with the folder.

Rotary-blade folding unit

The present invention relates to a copy-carrying cylinder which has a peripheral surface ( ) supporting sheet-like copies and which is provided with retaining elements for fixing the sheet-like copies in place on the peripheral surface ( ). A folding device ( ) which can be moved into and out of openings ( ) at the peripheral surface ( ) are bounded by at least one movable surface element ( ). The surface element ( ) which is associated with the folding device ( ) is designed in such a manner that it takes its closed position ( ) automatically.

Automatically closing surface element at the periphery of cylinders

An apparatus for the transport and slowing of folding copies in a folding machine. The folding copies are transported by belt groups, and the copies are removed from a surface of the copy-guiding cylinder by the belt groups. At least two belt groups are provided for transporting the folding copies. A belt group preceding a longitudinal-folding device is driven by a drive that is independent of the folding machine drive.

Apparatus for the slowing of copies

A folder having a cutting-cylinder pair with two cutting cylinders for cutting a vertically fed material web into products, and downline transport tape lines guidable over deflecting rollers for onwardly passing the cut-off products therebetween, and including a product guiding device assigned to the cutting-cylinder pair and extending at least partly over the width of the material web, the product guiding device bridging a region extending from an outlet nip of the cutting cylinder pair to an inlet region of the transport tapes.

Product guiding device on a cutting-cylinder pair of a folding apparatus

A gripper device for two-dimensional products on guiding cylinders for the products, the guiding cylinders having respective end faces at which the guiding cylinders are supported in respective side frames, the gripper device including grippers disposed on a driven gripper shaft and cooperatively engageable with gripper pads of a radially movable gripper impact strip, a stop mounted on the driven gripper shaft, the stop being supported on and movable with the gripper impact strip, the products to be accepted being alignable between the gripper fingers, on the one hand, and the gripper impact strip, on the other hand, at the start of a closed stage of the gripper fingers.

Slidable stop on a product-guiding cylinder associated with a rotary

Device for delivering printed products from a fan arrangement for forming a shingled printed-product stream, the device including an endless chain having a revolving path coordinated with the fan arrangement, so that the chain continually pushes, out of pockets of the fan arrangement, printed products received in the pockets, for forming the shingled printed-product stream, further including a holding arrangement for holding the printed products in the pockets, the holding arrangement being formed of grippers disposed on the chain.
