摘要 |
A folding apparatus ( 1 ) in a web-fed rotary printing press for folding signatures ( 2 ) which are cut off from a running web of material ( 6 ) by a cutting device ( 40 ) and carried on a signature transport surface ( 10 ) of a folding blade cylinder with the aid of at least one rotating band-shaped conveying element ( 12, 22, 36, 38 ) has the feature that the cutting device ( 4 ) includes a cutting blade ( 14 ) arranged on the folding blade cylinder ( 8 ) as well as a rotating anvil element ( 16 ) which interacts with the cutting blade; the band-shaped conveying element ( 12, 22, 36, 38 ) being passed around the rotating anvil element ( 16 ) in such a manner that the band-shaped conveying element acts as a supporting element for the cutting blade ( 14 ) during the cutting of the signatures ( 2 ).
