Transversal cutting equipment for sheets separable from overlapped continuous forms

Improvements to a transversal cutting equipment for sheets separable from overlapped continuous forms, comprising a cutting device for a joint transversal separation of the sheets, introduction devices for entering the continuous forms into the cutting device and a singularizing device for overlapped sheets including two transport paths, the one above the other, with differentiable transfer times, wherein said singularizing device comprises a diverter member upstream of the transport paths and wherein

• said diverter member defines a switching zone and is configurable among a first configuration, a second configuration and a reference configuration;
• said introduction devices are actuatable for temporarily projecting a leading edge of one of the overlapped forms with respect to the other form up to the switching zone of the diverter member, or for advancing together said overlapped forms;
• and
• said diverter member defines a first access path from the cutting device to one of the two transport paths in the first configuration and a second access path from the cutting device to the other transport path in the second configuration for addressing, respectively, a continuous form or both forms to the one or the other transport path;
• wherein
• said diverter member further allows accesses to the first access path and the second access path from the cutting device to the two transport paths in said reference configuration for addressing both forms to both transport paths;
• and wherein
• said introduction devices are also actuatable, in the case of projecting of one of the continuous forms, for lining up trailing edges of the sheets of the one and the other form for a joint cutting of the overlapped forms by means of the cutting device.

• and
• said equipment is provided, for documents with printed sheets according to a predetermined regressive or progressive order,
• wherein the transport paths define a slow path for a slow transport or a transport with arrest of sheets belonging to a document following a document in formation and a fast path for sheets of the document in formation, and
• wherein the transport paths are provided for transporting in overlapped way forms belonging, in tiled pair, to said document in formation.
