Abstract
For accepting folded products (5) and transporting them further, a revolving belt or chain system (7) on which drivers (8) are provided is used following the transfer point between a folding blade cylinder (1) and a folding gripper cylinder (2). After the folded spine (6) has been grasped by the folding grippers (4) of the folding gripper cylinder (2), drivers (8) are laterally inserted into the wedge-shaped region A, after which the folding grippers open. Then the drivers (8) accept the folded products (5) from the folding gripper cylinder (2) or the folding blade cylinder (1) and guide them further, preferably in a suspended condition, for further handling.
