Abstract
An assembly including a holding bar disposed transversely to a sheet-conveying direction in a paper sheet-processing machine, includes a device on the holding bar for holding paper sheets; a device for guiding the holding bar in individual, laterally spaced-apart guiding planes and through at least one direction-changing region located outside the guiding planes; a device for transporting the holding bar; and, in the at least one direction-changing region outside the guiding planes, a connectible device for stiffening the holding bar; and a method of guiding and transporting the holding bar.
Claims9
An assembly including a holding bar disposed transversely to a sheet-conveying direction in a paper sheet-processing machine, comprising means on the holding bar for holding paper sheets;
- means for guiding the holding bar in individual, laterally spaced-apart guiding planes and through at least one direction-changing region located outside said guiding planes;
- means for transporting the holding bar;
- and, in said at least one direction-changing region outside said guiding planes, connectible means for stiffening the holding bar.
Method of guiding and transporting a holding bar aligned transversely to a sheet-conveying direction in a paper sheet-processing machine, which comprises moving the holding bar in the sheet-conveying direction and guiding it through at least one direction-reversing region and, in the at least one direction-reversing region, automatically stiffening the holding bar in opposition to transverse bending of the holding bar by inertial forces.
