Abstract
Signatures are transported straddling on a saddle-shaped support of a conveying device by circulating drivers and are removed by means of a blade of the conveying device and are transferred to a lift-off device. The conveying device is lowered in the region of blade and the drivers push the signatures onto the essentially fixed blade. As a result of the conveying device being lowered in the region of the blade the drivers dip down after the signatures are pushed onto the blade and no longer grip the signatures.
