Abstract
The apparatus has a plurality of carrying elements (20) which are arranged at a distance one behind the other on a drawing member (14), driven in the circulating direction (U). The longitudinal direction (L) of the carrying elements (20) extends at an acute angle (.alpha.) with respect to the circulating direction. At the discharge locations (36), feed devices (12) discharge a sheet-like product to each carrying element (20) which is moved past said discharge locations. While having a considerable processing capacity and a relatively low circulating speed, the apparatus requires only a modest amount of space.
