Method and device for continuous combining of at least two layer transport flows of flat printed products

摘要

The method involves initially offsetting an imbricated flow (2a) of flat printed products (3) relative to another imbricated flow (2b) of the printed products, so as to form a lateral overlapping area of the imbricated flows. The printed products are continuously lifted in the lateral overlapping area until the lateral overlapping is eliminated. The printed products are lowered or dropped, so that one of the printed products rests above the imbricated flows above the other printed product, where a single imbricated flow with another overlapping area of the printed products is formed. An independent claim is also included for a device for continuous combining of two layer transport flows of flat printed products.
