ABSTRACT:
The interface according to the invention for printed products conveyed in imbricated formation is used between an imbricated stream-delivering apparatus and an imbricated stream-receiving apparatus. The object of the interface is to change the stream parameters of the input stream (S.sub.i) in such a way that an output stream (S.sub.o) which meets the requirements of the downstream imbricated stream-receiving apparatus is produced from it. The interface has an input (I) for an input stream (S.sub.i) and an output (O) for an output stream (S.sub.o) and, between input and output, a serial arrangement of functional elements (UE, PE, RE). The interface has at least one deflecting element (UE) and at least one other functional element (PE, RE) and the serial arrangement is such that a deflecting element (UE) is always interposed between two other functional elements (PE, RE). The interface requires a minimum of transporting belts (41, 42, 45, 46), since each transporting belt running out from a functional element is the transporting belt running into the next functional element. In each functional element, the imbricated stream is set up with respect to speed, imbrication spacing and position of the printed products on the transporting belt for the next functional element.
