Abstract
Eine Vorrichtung, durch welche mindestens ein Teil (20b) einer sich in einem Behälter (14) befindlichen Signatur (20a) ergriffen und relativ zu einem im Behälter (14) befindlichen Signaturstapel (20) bewegt wird, umfaßt einen Schaft (110) und einen auf dem Schaft (110) angebrachten Saugnapf (150). Der Schaft (110) ist in der Weise gestützt, daß er sich zum Signaturstapel (20) hin und von diesem weg bewegen kann. Im Schaft (110) ist ein Venturi-Saugrohr (160) vorgesehen, womit ein Vakuum erzeugt und in den Saugnapf (150) geleitet wird. Durch das Vakuum im Saugnapf (150) wird der Teil (20b) der Signatur (20a) vom Saugnapf (150) ergriffen und relativ zum sich im Behälter (14) befindlichen Signaturstapel (20) bewegt, wenn sich der Schaft (110) bewegt. A device, by means of which at least a part (20b) of a signature (20a) located in a container (14) is gripped and moved relative to a signature stack (20) located in the container (14), comprises a shaft (110) and one suction cup (150) attached to the shaft (110). The shaft (110) is supported in such a way that it can move towards and away from the signature stack (20). A venturi suction tube (160) is provided in the shaft (110), with which a vacuum is generated and passed into the suction cup (150). Due to the vacuum in the suction cup (150), the part (20b) of the signature (20a) is gripped by the suction cup (150) and moved relative to the signature stack (20) located in the container (14) when the shaft (110) moves.
