- US 3,972,413 discloses a chain conveyor for printing machines.
- US 4,550,822 shows a device for transporting flat products, in particular in scaled form of incoming products.
- a chain is along along a conveyor path individually assigned gripper elements moved. Through one with the funding path connected control curve becomes a lever in one after grabbing products downward position moved. After the gripper elements passes the control cam have, the lever is released so that it swings in a vertical position and one in seizes a single product transported in a shingled stream.
- US 4,072,228 shows a device for equalizing a shingled stream of Printed products.
- a number of rotating carrier elements are in Towing connection with each other.
- the Driver elements guided, at the beginning of their path they are driven by a thrust driven and at the end of their path they are driven by a train drive.
- the Driver elements contact the printed products and the push and pull drives cause a change in the spacing of the driver elements from each other and consequently in the spacing of the products from each other in the shingled stream.
- DE 11 93 065 shows a conveyor system with a closed loop Conveyor track at the end of which a chain-like drive unit is arranged.
- conveyor elements move along an inclined Track section down while being subjected to gravity. They are flat rectangular plates attached to the conveyor elements, which separate the Allow product stacks that are made up of a certain number of largely vertically conveyed flat products are formed. The orientation of the flat products changes from a shingled formation to a horizontal one Position in a vertical position where the individual flat products are parallel to each other.
- DE 1 153 383 AS corresponds to the general concept of claim 1 to feed an alternative conveyor.
- a printing press which can be produced with the aid of Gripper elements and transport chains of curved printed products from a delivery feeds slowly.
- the gripper elements can be along a conveyor track move independently of each other at least in one area.
- One of the conveyor track assigned drive module is able to selectively grasp the gripper elements and to move along the conveyor track.
- the object of the present invention Invention to propose a device for transporting flat product with whose help it is possible to easily convert the flat products into an alternative Initiate funding route.
- a device for transporting is flatter Products are provided for further processing facilities, which are a continuous Loop-forming conveyor track, a variety of gripper elements and a drive module includes.
