Abstract
A device and a method for taking over flexible, two-dimensional objects (), in particular printed products, at a take-over location (S). The objects () are received by receiver units (). Controllable narrowing elements () are present, in order to prevent a squashing and rebounding of the objects () on or from an abutment of the receiver unit (), with which narrowing elements, in an active condition, the opening width (W) of the receiver unit () in a middle region between an entry opening () of the receiver unit () and the abutment (), may be reduced compared to an inactive condition. These are controlled with a control device (). A more reliable positioning of the objects () in the receiver unit (), in particular at high feed speeds and with thin, elastically deformable objects (), may be achieved.
