INVENTOR: ERICH BALTISBERGER INVENTION: METHOD OF, AND APPARATUS FOR, PROCESSING TWO PRODUCT FORMATIONS, EACH FORMED'BY SUBSTANTIALLY FLAT PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY PRINTED PRODUCTS The two product formations lying in superimposed fashion at a lateral offset are conveyed by a transport device towards a separation or detaching element. The printed products of the first product formation lying at the top marginally protrude at one side thereof past the printed products of the second product formation lying at the bottom. A deflecting part or element of the separation element is arranged in the travel path of the protruding marginal portions of the printed products of the first product formation. The deflecting part or element extends transversely with respect to the travel path. The printed products of the second product formation lying at the bottom run past the deflecting part or element without being acted upon by the latter and are outfed by a first outfeed conveyor. The printed products of the top situated product formation contact on the deflecting part or element at their protruding marginal portion and are deflected upwardly and lifted from the printed products of the bottom situated product formation. The up-lifted printed products are outfed by a second outfeed conveyor.
