The apparatus according to the invention, which serves for transporting supplementary products, in particular sheet-like printed products provided with adhesive, from a receiving location to a discharge location, has at least one retaining element which is moved along a continuous circulatory path and by means of which supplementary products can be gripped at the receiving location and released again at a discharge location. By means of a control arrangement, with changeover operation, during the transportation from the receiving location to the discharge location, the retaining element, which is mounted such that it can be rotated about an axis which is located at least more or less perpendicularly to the circulatory path, is optionally left unchanged in a rotary position or rotated about the axis through a certain angle until an end position of the transported supplementary product which is envisaged for further processing has been reached.
An apparatus for transporting sheet-like supplementary products, provided in particular with adhesive, from a receiving location to a discharge location, having at least one retaining element which is moved along a continuous circulatory path and by means of which supplementary products can be gripped at the receiving location and released again at the discharge location, wherein the retaining element is mounted such that it can be rotated about an axis which is located at least more or less perpendicularly to the circulatory path, and a control arrangement, with changeover operation, is intended, during the transportation of the retaining element from the receiving location to the discharge location, optionally for leaving said retaining element unchanged in a rotary position or for rotating it about the axis through a certain angle until an end position of the transported supplementary product which is envisaged for further processing has been reached.
A process for transporting sheet-like supplementary products, provided in particular with adhesive, from a receiving location to a discharge location, the supplementary products being gripped by means of a retaining element, which is moved along a continuous circulatory path, at the receiving location and released again at the discharge location, wherein, during the transportation from the receiving location to the discharge location, the retaining element, which is mounted such that it can be rotated about an axis which is located at least more or less perpendicularly to the circulatory path, is optionally left unchanged in a rotary position or rotated about the axis through a certain angle until an end position of the transported supplementary product which is envisaged for further processing has been reached.
