Abstract
Method for braking sheets in a delivery of a sheet-fed rotary printing press wherein the sheets are disposed in tandem and are successively fed to a sheet-pile position in translatory travel direction, the sheets being in an overlapping shingled arrangement in a vicinity of a sheet brake, an air-blast jet being applied beneath and parallel to the respective sheets, includes feeding the sheet to the sheet brake by means of gripper closure and a flotation-guiding arrangement, forming with the air-blast jet a carrying-air flow for producing the flotation-guiding arrangement and for simultaneously separating the sheets from an instant at which the sheets are being formed into the overlapping shingled arrangement, the carrying-air flow formed beneath an oncoming sheet continuing in the vicinity of the overlapping shingled arrangement of the sheets for forming an elongation of the flotation-guiding arrangement towards the delivery; and a device for performing the method.
