Abstract
A device for decelerating a transported and flat shaped product includes a brake operable by an air jet supplied by an air jet nozzle. The air jet nozzle is configured to impinge the air jet on a braking force implementing body to exert a braking force on the flat shaped product. The braking force implementing body includes: at least one first element, which has a physical structure for a return-flow of the air jet supplied by the air jet nozzle, and at least one second element, which for the braking force implementation is in an operative connection with the first element. The second element is configured to implement an impulse force caused by the air jet from the air jet nozzle. The impulse force results as the braking force onto the flat shaped product.

A device for decelerating a transported and flat shaped product, the device comprising:
- a brake operable by an air jet supplied by an air jet nozzle, the air jet nozzle configured to impinge the air jet on a braking force implementing body to exert a braking force on the flat shaped product,
- wherein the braking force implementing body comprises:
- at least one first element, which comprises a physical structure for a return-flow of the air jet supplied by the air jet nozzle, and
- at least one second element, which for the braking force implementation is in an operative connection with the first element, the second element configured to implement an impulse force caused by the air jet from the air jet nozzle, the impulse force resulting as the braking force onto the flat shaped product.
A method for operating a device for decelerating a transported and flat shaped product, wherein the device comprising a brake operable by an air jet supplied by at least one air jet nozzle, wherein the brake comprising at least one body, which exerts a braking force on the flat shaped product by the effect of the air jet, the method comprising:
- operating the brake in such a way that for fixing the flat shaped product the braking force simultaneously acts upon a trailing edge of the flat shaped product in such a way a space is created in order to avoid a collision with a subsequent flat shaped product.
A method for operating a device for decelerating a transported and flat shaped product, wherein the device comprises a brake operable by an air jet supplied by at least one air jet nozzle, wherein the brake comprises at least one body, the method comprising:
- by action of the air jet, exerting an implementing force for a breaking action on the flat shaped product,
- wherein the brake is operated in an operative connection with a downstream folding device.
