  • the traction element is deflected around two spaced-apart, horizontal axes, and in the region of the upper run running in the horizontal direction, feeders are arranged one behind the other in order to introduce printed products thus fed into the pocket-like receiving parts or to put folded printed products astride the supports.
  • the feed conveyors have revolvingly driven, individually controllable grippers arranged one behind the other, the conveying direction of which in the transfer area runs approximately in the same direction as the circumferential direction of the conveying device.
  • Each feed conveyor is assigned an opening device in order to open the printed products held by the gripper in the region of its fold, which are to be placed on the supports. If, on the other hand, the printed products supplied by the feeder in question are to be introduced into a receiving part, the opening device is inactive.
