  • the cutting element 65 Upon initiation of the slide mechanism 64, which in the initial state is in a position in which the cutting element 65 does not engage the stack 51 on the cutting portion 53 of the guide member 50 of the stacker 7, the cutting element 65 is moved by means of the sliding mechanism 64 between two adjacent folding sections 67 introduced into the stack 51. In this case, it is displaced parallel to the folding sections 67 by means of the displacement mechanism 64 until the stack 51 is separated from the upstream corrugated board web 2 in the region of a fold 20 resting on the guide element 50.
  • the convex shape of the guide element 50 allows insertion of the cutting element 65 between two adjacent fold sections 67. Damage to the corrugated cardboard web 2 is thereby avoided.
  • the cutting unit 63 is synchronized with the stop arms 58 on which the stack 51 rests shifted. As a result, unfavorable transverse loads of the cutting element 65 are avoided.
  • the stack 51 As soon as the stack 51 has been separated from the upstream corrugated cardboard web 2, it is guided on the stop arms 58 along the guide element 50 at increased speed into the removal section 54.
  • the upstream subsequent stack 51 is hereby temporarily on the cutting element 65, which has separated the corrugated cardboard web 2 at.
  • the cutting element 65 thus temporarily assumes the function of the stop arms 58.
  • further stop arms 58 are provided for depositing the next stack 51 on the guide element 50. These stop arms 58 are moved up on the guide element 50 on the side of the cutting element 65 opposite the stack resting on the cutting element 65 and this is moved to support the stack 51.
  • the cutting member 65 is retracted by the sliding mechanism 64 along the direction of displacement of the guide member 50 and, after it is no longer engaged with the stack 51, along the support structure 61 in his Starting position moved back.
  • the cutting device 6 is ready in this position for the next cutting operation, which preferably connects without interruption to the previous cutting process.

This reduces the required to fold the corrugated web 2 pivoting circumference of the engagement element 46b. As a result, in particular, the time required for returning the engagement element 46b to the starting position and thus the time between two folding operations is reduced.

  • the free ends 48 are each flattened. They are therefore advantageously used on both sides.
  • the length L F of the finger-shaped extensions 49c is arbitrary.
  • FIG. 15 a fifth embodiment of the folding device 5d described. Identical parts are given the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment, to the description of which reference is hereby made.
