Abstract
A device () for transferring continuously transported printing products (), e.g., book blocks, books or sheet stacks consisting of folded and/or non-folded sheets, from an essentially flat lying position into an upright position or vice versa by a conveyor () that is twisted about a longitudinal axis (). A first transporter () with pushers () advances the printing products () during the transfer, and a second transporter (or) has support elements (), on which the printing products () are at least partially supported or lie with their primary surface during the transfer. The invention allows a particularly careful transport of sensitive individual parts or partial products that may even consist of thin individual sheets on the bottom side. A narrow line of support provided by the support elements () suffices for this purpose, wherein this narrow line of support essentially acts upon the product () in one line of action with the respective pusher ().
