Device and method for separating product parts of a multi-part product

A device for the delivery of flat product units in particular printed products, comprising a revolving apparatus with a plurality of receiving units that are arranged along a periphery of the revolving apparatus and having radially outwardly facing openings, a conveying-away device for controlled delivery of the product units out of the receiving units and transfer to a conveying-away unit,

• wherein the conveying-away device comprises a circulating mechanism with a plurality of support bodies circulating along a closed circulating path, wherein the support bodies in each case comprise a rest surface and a clamping element, and wherein the clamping element and the rest surface are each designed and the support bodies arranged one after the other along the circulating path, such that the product unit with its opening-side product region is supported on the rest surface and is clamped on the rest surface by way of the clamping element of a subsequent support body.

A device for opening a multi-part, flat product with a first and with a second product part, comprising a receiving unit, which is for receiving the product and which has a first support structure and a second support structure for supporting the product parts in the receiving unit, as well as a receiving compartment, which is arranged between the two support structures and is for receiving the product, further having a holding device for holding the second product part on the second support structure,

• wherein the device comprises a movement impulse transmission device with an impulse element with a pivot section, said impulse element being arranged on the first support structure and pivotably mounted, wherein the impulse element is pivotably mounted such that, for opening the product, with its pivot section can act on the first product part by way of a pivot movement, such that at least that region of the first product part, in which the pivot section hits the first product part, moves to the second support structure.
