Abstract
The processing conveyer device () has a plurality of receiving elements () that are arranged one behind the other and are driven in a circulatory direction, said elements having a support element and a base element for supporting the printing products laterally and from below, in addition to a saddle-type bearing element for receiving folded printing products astride said element. Feed stations () are arranged along the circulatory track () of the receiving elements (). A respective opening device, which can be activated and deactivated, is allocated to said feed stations, for selectively opening the folded printing products () that are to be fed by the receiving elements. The feed stations () can selectively introduce printing products () into the receiving elements () or can place folded printing products (), which have been opened, astride the bearing element. A respective removal station (') is located between the two groups of feed stations (), whereby at least one of said stations can be deactivated. The device can be used in a wide variety of applications for producing various finished products.
