Abstract
A process and apparatus for collecting and stapling printed products is provided. A self-enclosed track of travel for stapling heads extends around a collector drum having a plurality of supports. A stapling head is assigned to each support. The stapling heads rotate mutually synchronously about the axis of rotation of the drum. While running past a wire section dispenser, each stapling head accepts a wire section from which a staple is formed in a predetermined first region. In a second region, the staple is brought onto the side of the stapling heads facing the supports. In a third region, the stapling heads are lowered onto the printed sheets, which are deposited onto the supports, and stapled together.
