Abstract
Folded printed products are transported while held in suspended position at their fold and supported in their end region remote from the fold. The end section of the first product part, projecting with respect to the second product part, is seized and temporarily held by a gripper which is driven in a circulating manner. A stabbing element, driven at a different speed with respect to the gripper, then stabs into the printed product and lifts the second product part off the held first product part while the gripper moves away from the stabbing element. With the printed product open, the gripper releases the first product part.
