A conveying device for use in a post press system of a newspaper printing works between twin outputs (14) from a newspaper stacking system (4) and the input to a strapping system (8) takes the form of a twin shuttle unit (2). The shuttle unit has a pair of buckets (26, 28) which each reciprocate between a respective station (20, 22) aligned with one of the outputs of the stacking system and an intermediate station (24) aligned with the input to the strapping system. Each bucket is a generally U-shaped member on the base of which the stack is supported. The side walls of the U-shaped members support the sides of the stack. The stack is fed from a bucket at the intermediate station (24) by means of a pusher unit (36). |
