Abstract
A device for transporting printed products has an endless circulating traction member having support frames. Receiving elements configured to pick up supplied printed products and to release the printed products are fastened on the endless circulating traction member at regular spacings on the support frames and are in the form of rollers having a circumference. The rollers cooperate in roller pairs with one another and define between its circumference, respectively, a conveying gap. The support frames have axles extending perpendicularly to the conveying direction of the printed products. The rollers are drivingly supported with one end thereof on the axles.
