<p>In a sheet delivery apparatus (S) of a sheet folding machine (A) for a rotary printing press, a cutter mechanism (100) cuts a continuous paper web (P) traveling along a paper web path into sheets (J). A first conveyor (200), disposed downstream of the cutter mechanism (400), conveys the sheets (J) successively with spaces therebetween. A second conveyor (300), disposed adjacent to and downstream of the first conveyor (200) and having a carrying surface lower in level than the carrying surface of the first conveyor (200), receives the sheets transferred successively from the first conveyor (200), and conveys the sheets at a conveying speed lower than that of the first conveyor (200) after arranging the sheets in a scale-like train. A pushing down device (500), disposed adjacent to an upstream end of the second conveyor (300), pushes downward against the second conveyor (300) a trailing end portion of the individual sheet (J) being transferred from the first conveyor (200) to the second conveyor (300). A paper pressing device (400) guides a leading end of the succeeding sheet transferred from the first conveyor (200) to the second conveyor (300), and presses the leading end of the succeeding sheet downward; i.e., toward the second conveyor (300). <IMAGE></p> |
