Abstract
A device for transporting printed products, particularly folded and/or unfolded sheets, comprising a conveying unit with several driven endless conveying belts that are arranged parallel to one another and a roller conveyor with several rollers that are respectively arranged between the endless conveying belts. The roller conveyor can be raised and lowered relative to the conveying unit and the vertical lifting movement of the roller conveyor is superimposed with a comparatively much larger movement parallel to the axial direction of the rollers. Such a lifting movement provides the advantage that the printed products are deposited onto the continuous endless conveying belts such that they are pre-accelerated in the transport direction or lifted off the conveying belts with the transport component in order to subsequently be gently decelerated up to the end of the lifting movement.
