Abstract
A conveying device for feeding sheet-like products to a processing machine for printed products having carrying elements that rotate in the direction of rotation (U) along a self-contained rotational path. A carrying arm and a link member are pivoted on each carrying element. The clamping jaws, which form a clamp and are prestressed in the closed direction, and are pivotally mounted on the carrying arm. The first clamping jaw being connected to the link member in order to pivot the clamp. The second clamping jaw is connected to an opening roller with which an opening guide interacts to open the clamp. The pivot position of the carrying arms and the position of the link member can be controlled independently of one another by the control device, with the result that the clamp may also be pivoted about its pivot on the carrying arm independently of a movement of the carrying arm. The conveying device is suitable for depositing folded printed sheets in a straddling manner on the rest of the processing machine.
