A folding machine for paper and soft folding material with a bearing frame (1), in which a rotary bearing (2) is rotatably mounted, wherein the rotary bearing includes a first working roll 17, a second working roll 18, and a third working roll 19 that are mutually parallel and rotatable,

• wherein a press-on device (6) for pressing the paper (39) against positions of the rotary bearing (2) and an external control element (7), which is rotated together therewith, are provided,
• characterised in that the press-on device (6) is mounted in an opening flap (26) and is formed by two profile bodies (28, 36) which are controlled by the external control element (7),
• wherein the first profile body (28) receives and transports the paper (39) in interaction with the first working roll (17), and the second profile body (36) guides the paper (39) in contact with the first working roll (17) and the third working roll (19) running in opposite directions to a first folding nip (44) for a first folding of the paper (39), and,
• wherein in that a pivoting lug (20), which rotates with the rotary bearing (2) and is positively controlled via an internal control element (11), is provided for a second folding of the paper (39) in a second folding nip (45) between the first working roll (17) and the second working roll (18).
