Device for collecting and processing folded printed products

Abstract

A device () for collecting and processing folded printed products () may be constructed with a collection drum () which is rotatingly driven about its drum axis () and provides first rests () with first saddles (). The first rests are uniformly distributed over the circumference and extend in their longitudinal extension (L) parallel to the drum axis (). Conveyor elements convey the printed products () on the first saddles () in the axial direction (S) along the firsts rests (). It may further use a conveyor () which has a conveyor path () with a conveyor direction (F) which at least in a transfer region () deviates from the axial direction (S) and which has second rests () movable in the conveyor path (), with second saddles () arranged distanced to one another and arranged transversely to the conveying direction (F). The conveyor () in the transfer region () is arranged adjacent to a collection drum end () of the collection drum () in a manner such that the printed products () may be transferred from the collection drum end () to the conveyor () or vice versa. For the second rests () movable in the conveyor path () there is provided a conveyor unit () detached from the collection drum ().
