Device for Fitting Printed Products with Inserts

A device for fitting multiple-sheet printed products with inserts, having a plurality of identically designed receiving elements which are driven in a direction of circulation along a continuous circulatory path with an operating portion, which are arranged one behind the other and transversely to the circulatory path, which each have a channel-like base and a trailing wall, extending over a receiving portion and an insertion portion of the respective receiving element, and which are each assigned means by way of which a printed product fed to the receiving portion of the relevant receiving element by means of a first feed conveyor can be displaced in the displacement direction into the insertion portion, having at least a second feed conveyor which is arranged downstream of the first feed conveyor and which is intended to feed an insert to the opened printed products moved into the insertion portion, and having a removal conveyor which is arranged downstream of the second feed conveyor, at the end of the operating portion, and is intended to convey away the printed products provided with the insert, each receiving element being assigned, in its insertion portion, a holding-open element for holding open the opened printed product, wherein the operating portion is arranged along a slope of the circulatory path such that the printed products fed butt against the base and with surface contact against the trailing wall of the receiving elements, the base is fixed to the trailing wall, and the displacement means have a pushing mechanism for advancing the printed products, the pushing mechanism pushing on the trailing edge of the relevant printed product, as seen in the displacement direction.
