Attorney's Docket No. 7979 INVENTORS: J?RG EBERLE and HANS-ULRICH STAUBER INVENTION: APPARATUS FOR CONVEYING SUBSTANTIALLY FLAT PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY PRINTED PRODUCTS In an imbricated formation delivered by an infeed device in each case two printed products lie in pairs upon one another and, viewed in a predetermined product conveying direction, bear upon the upstream or trailing printed product pair. A suction roll is arranged downstream of the infeed device, by means of which the current lower printed product is downwardly bent in a direction transverse to a product conveying plane. The leading edges of the printed products are introduced in such separated or fanned apart condition into a respective gripper, engaged by such respective gripper and outfed in a further predetermined conveying direction. The spacing between neighboring grippers is minimal at a product take-over region, so that when the grippers are open in each instance a leading gripper finger of a trailing gripper bears against a trailing gripper finger of the neighboring leading gripper.
