Abstract
A plurality of conveying elements is arranged on a traction device of a conveying arrangement in spaced apart succession in a conveying direction. Each conveying element includes a support surface and an end stop coupled to a front of the support surface, positioned perpendicular to the support surface and transverse to the conveying direction. The conveying elements are guided at least while in a feed region of respective feed devices that feed printed sheets to the conveying elements. The support surfaces of the conveying elements are aligned parallel to the conveying direction on the feed section. A holding down device located at a downstream end in the conveying direction of the feed region of each of the feed devices holds down and guides the book block from above while conveyed on the conveying element.
