Abstract
A diverter mechanism for signatures in a folding apparatus is provided including a set of high-speed tapes (3) for conveying signatures in a conveying plane (1) toward delivery stations (12, 13). Rotating diverting elements (7.1, 7.2) are integrated into the path of the high speed tapes (3). Each of the diverting elements (7.1, 7.2) has at least two rotatably mounted guiding surfaces (10) that alter the diverting direction of signatures upon rotation of the diverting elements (7.1, 7.2).
