Abstract
The folder superstructure is provided with a copy diverter for dividing up a product stream of individual copies. The copy diverter includes at least one rotating disc deflector and a tongue, arranged at a location where the product stream branches into two sub-streams. It is assigned at least one first belt conveying apparatus, which is arranged upstream of the tongue, as seen in the direction of the product stream, and at least one second belt conveying apparatus which is arranged in the region of the tongue. The rotating disc deflector has a plurality of disk segments arranged axially one behind the other on a spindle running transversely to the product stream. In order to set different deflecting positions, the disk segments can be fixed in different circumferential positions.
