Abstract
An apparatus for lifting a signature fed on a wedge-shaped saddle to a conveyor by an upwardly and downwardly movable lifting comb, which conveyor comprises at least one pair of conveyor elements, one of them being wheel-shaped and the other one being an elongated flexible endless member which is mounted for revolving movement along an endless path. Said path is defined by deflecting means and runs along a segment of the peripheral surface of the wheel-shaped element so as to form a conveyor gap for conveying the signature lifted by said lifting comb. In a transfer station, a pressing means is provided for pressing the lifted signature to the wheel-shaped conveyor element for transferring the signature from the lifting comb to the mouth of the conveyor gap.
