Abstract
A device for delivering flat products, such as signatures or the like, having a plurality of fan wheels rotatably mounted on a fan wheel shaft. The fan wheels each have a plurality of fan pockets for receiving signatures emerging from a transporting device, the fan wheels being mounted on the fan wheel shaft in spaced relation to one another in an axial direction. Adjustably mounted deceleration devices, each having a curvature for diving between the spaced-apart fan wheels, allow for a desired deceleration of the signatures upon rotation of the fan wheels.
