Abstract

See full text

A device for opening and depositing a folded signature onto a moving conveyor for conveying the folded signatures in a conveying direction includes two opening rollers each having a rotational axis that extends essentially parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor. The opening rollers have a mechanism for opening the signatures and depositing the signatures with an open side first in a downward direction onto the conveyor. A pre-accelerating mechanism is operatively associated with the opening rollers for pre-accelerating the signatures in the conveying direction.
