Abstract
A delivery fan used in a rotary printing press receives signatures from a folding machine and deposits them on a delivery conveyor and includes hub means, a plurality of fingers mounted to the hub means and a plurality of flat springs anchored to the hub means. The delivery fan handles signatures of varying thicknesses and prevents the signatures from jumping out of pockets formed by the fingers.
