An apparatus for dividing an imbricated stream of printed products into individual mutually separated sections, comprising a separator device which, in the conveying direction of a conveyor device, can be moved with a speed which is smaller than the conveying speed of such conveyor device. The separator device is equipped with a clamping device which selectively retains, for a certain time, a printed product and which can be forwardly moved at the speed of motion of the separator device. Owing to the lower speed of movement of the fixedly-retained printed product, in relation to the conveying speed of the conveyor device, there is formed a gap with respect to the leading printed product of the preceding section and which printed product moves forwardly at the full conveying speed. By means of this gap the successive sections can be separated from one another. The printed product which is fixedly retained by the clamping device serves as conveyor element for the successive or trailing printed products which come into contact therewith in an imbricated product stream. |
