ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of, and an apparatus for, conveying sheet like products (10, 10′), in particular printed products. In each case two or more products (10, 10′) are gripped together, in the region of their leading edges (10a, 10a′), by grippers (3) of a gripper conveyor (1) such that the edges (10a, 10a′) are alternately spaced apart from one another. In at least one transfer region (4), the products (10, 10′) are transferred to at least one removal arrangement (2) such that each product (10, 10′) at most partially overlaps the previously transferred product (10, 10′), the leading edges (10a, 10a′) of the products (10, 10′) being spaced apart from one another. The invention has the advantage that the products are directly accessible for further processing.
