Abstract
A sheet transfer device for a sheet-fed rotary printing press includes a registration correction device. The registration correction device deforms the leading edge of the sheet using a deformable gripper bridge system. The gripper bridge system includes a gripper bridge which extends continuously over the width of the sheet transport path. The gripper bridge is supported at each of its two ends by a pivotable support to allow the gripper bridge to assume a deformed shape similar to that of a simply-supported beam.
