Abstract

Durch eine Einrichtung zur Erzeugung eines zweiten Längsfalzes und ein Verfahren werden in einem Strom von Signaturen Signaturgruppierungen gebildet, indem ausgewählte Signaturen (400) auf ihrem Transport zu einem Falzmechanismus (240) verzögert werden. Der Falzmechanismus (240) ist an das Falzen von mehreren Signaturen mit einer einzigen Falzbewegung angepaßt, wobei die Durchlaufleistung der Falzeinrichtung erhöht wird und die Betriebsgeschwindigkeit des den Längsfalz erzeugenden Falzmechanismus (240) reduziert wird.

Figure 00000001
By means of a device for producing a second longitudinal fold and a method, signature groups are formed in a stream of signatures, in that selected signatures (400) are delayed in their transport to a folding mechanism (240). The folding mechanism (240) is adapted to the folding of several signatures with a single folding movement, the throughput of the folding device being increased and the operating speed of the folding mechanism (240) producing the longitudinal fold being reduced.
