A collecting conveyor (1) runs through a plurality of deposit stations (2, 3, 4) which are disposed one behind the other in the conveying direction (A) of the collecting conveyor (1). Printed products are continuously supplied from a related stack (8, 9, 10) to each deposit station (2, 3, 4) by means of a related single conveyor (5, 6, 7). Each single conveyor (5, 6, 7) comprises a plurality of gripping devices which are disposed one behind the other and can be controlled individually. At the deposit stations (2, 3, 4) these gripping devices are now opened whereby the released printed products are deposited on the collecting conveyor (1) which is situated therebelow. This collecting conveyor (1) is likewise provided with controllable gripping devices which seize and entrain the deposited printed prducts. At each deposit station (2, 3, 4) the printed products are placed over the printed product or products previously deposited on the collecting conveyor (1). The piles of superposed printed products are delivered to a processing station (11). In this manner the printed products may be collected or gathered together without stacking of these printed products being necessary at the deposit stations (2, 3, 4). |
