Abstract
A cylinder folding apparatus for a web-fed rotary printing press utilizes solid cutting and a collecting cylinders to cut a paper web into signatures. A hollow folding drum is provided with an interior folding blade cylinder whose axis of rotation is offset from that of the folding drum. A pair of folding rollers are placed adjacent the folding drum. A stapling device may also be placed adjacent the hollow folding drum. The folding apparatus is intended to cut thick signatures at high production speeds as well as to produce stapled tabloid products.
