Abstract
A binding device accomplishes the transverse binding or stapling of product elements in a folding apparatus that is situated downstream from a rotary printing press. One or more binding cylinders are supported for rotation with, and with respect to, a binding cylinder support which is cooperatively positioned with respect to a collection and counter-cylinder. The binding device minimizes vibrations and maintains staple-forming elements within the binding cylinder.
