Abstract
A side lay device on a feeder table of a sheet-processing machine includes at least one side lay body mounted so as to be displaceable over a path transverse to a sheet conveying direction for adjusting to a selected format of the sheet, a device for displacing the side lay body, first surface elements durably fastened to the side lay body parallel to the displacement direction of the side lay body, second mutually parallel surface elements fixed to the sheet-processing machine and corresponding to the first surface elements, the second surface elements extending over the entire adjustment path of the side lay body, at least one group of the groups consisting of the first surface elements, regions of the second surface elements in vicinity of the side lay body, and both the first surface elements and the regions of the second surface elements located in the position of the side lay bodies being movable towards one another for producing friction contact between the first and the second surface elements, and a device for moving the first surface elements and the second surface elements in a direction relatively towards and away from one another and for applying a normal force between the first surface elements and the second surface elements for producing and releasing the friction contact.
