Abstract
In a method for manufacturing a printed end product containing a single printed product or several printed products, collected astraddle and supplied sequentially, and bound by stitching, the printed products are collected in a predetermined sequence required for forming the printed end product along a common conveying path. Subsequently, the printed products are stitched. A circulating collecting support is provided which is supplied by a feeding device with spread-apart printed products. After the collecting step is complete, the collected printed sheets are moved on the conveying path to the stitching location.

- and
- subsequently stitching the printed products.
A device for manufacturing a printed end product comprised of a single printed product or several printed products, collected astraddle and supplied sequentially, and bound by stitching, wherein the printed products are collected in a predetermined sequence required for forming the printed end product along a common conveying path and are subsequently stitched, the device comprising:
- a feeding device comprising an opening device configured to transfer printed products on a conveying path in a spread-apart arrangement onto a collecting device;
- wherein the collecting device has one or more collecting supports arranged below the opening device so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation arranged transversely to the feeding direction of the printed products;
- and
- wherein the one or more collecting supports are driven in a stepwise fashion on a portion of the conveying path, which section of the conveying path is defined between a collecting location of the printed products and a stitching location.
