Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3010557
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
For receiving signatures (2) from a folding mechanism in a rotary printing press and overlappingly depositing them on a delivery conveyor system (7), a multiplicity of fingers (6) are planted on a set of hubs coaxially mounted on a drive shaft (9) for joint rotation therewith, each finger extending both outwardly and upstream of the hubs with respect to a predetermined direction of hub rotation. The fingers are equidistantly spaced from one another circumferentially of the hubs for defining pockets (4) for receiving signatures. In order to prevent the signatures from rebounding and jumping out of the pockets on hitting their bottoms, flat springs are anchored to the hubs (5), each spring extending toward its bottom. Since the signatures (2) to be handled may be of several different number of pages and hence of different thicknesses, there is provided a spacing (t) of somewhat less than the known least thickness of signatures (2a) to be handled, between each flat spring and a downstream one, with respect to the prescribed rotational direction of the hubs, of each circumferentially spaced pair of fingers defining part of one pocket.
