Abstract
Continuously accumulating printing works products are transported, over a comparatively long distance in a manner which consumes minimum manufacturing facility floor space, by being serially fed to clock-pulse controlled grippers of a continuously driven conveyor. The grippers grasp the products in the area of their leading edges and subsequently transport the products in tile-formation over a defined distance to delivery apparatus.
