Abstract
A device for decelerating a transported and flat shaped product includes a brake operable by an air jet supplied by an air jet nozzle. The air jet nozzle is configured to impinge the air jet on a braking force implementing body to exert a braking force on the flat shaped product. The braking force implementing body includes: at least one first element, which has a physical structure for a return-flow of the air jet supplied by the air jet nozzle, and at least one second element, which for the braking force implementation is in an operative connection with the first element. The second element is configured to implement an impulse force caused by the air jet from the air jet nozzle. The impulse force results as the braking force onto the flat shaped product.

A device for decelerating a transported and flat shaped product, the device comprising:
- a brake comprising:
- an air jet nozzle;
- and
- a braking force implementing body operable by an air jet supplied by the air jet nozzle, the air jet nozzle being configured to impinge the air jet on the braking force implementing body to exert a braking force on the flat shaped product,
- wherein the braking force implementing body comprises:
- at least one first element, which comprises a physical structure for a return-flow of the air jet supplied by the air jet nozzle, and
- at least one second element, which for the braking force implementation is in an operative connection with the first element, the second element configured to implement an impulse force caused by the air jet from the air jet nozzle, the impulse force resulting as the braking force onto the flat shaped product.
A method for operating a device for decelerating a transported and flat shaped product, the device comprising a brake, the brake comprising at least one air jet nozzle, and at least one body operable by an air jet supplied by the at least one air jet nozzle, the at least one body exerts a braking force on the flat shaped product by the effect of the air jet, the method comprising:
- operating the brake by impinging the air jet supplied by the air jet nozzle on the at least one body in such a way that, for fixing the flat shaped product, the braking force simultaneously acts upon a trailing edge of the flat shaped product in such a way that a space is created in order to avoid a collision with a subsequent flat shaped product,
- wherein the subsequent flat shaped product is guided higher than a surface of a folding table.
