ABSTRACT:
To permit compact construction, a combination cylinder (3) having thereon cutting grooves for cooperation with cutting knives (5) of a cutting blade cylinder (4), grippers (7) and folding blades (8) receives a web or a plurality of superposed webs (2), to be cut into cut copy products or elements (17). The elements (17) are transferred to a collection cylinder (10), to be gripped by grippers (11) thereon and transferred to grippers (13) on a stapling head cylinder (12). The stapling head cylinder, if the stapling heads are energized, staples the webs together, and transfers them to grippers (7) on the combination cylinder which, in turn, folds the stapled sheets by operation of the folding blades thereon in association with folding jaws of a folding jaw cylinder (15) located adjacent the combination cylinder. The stapling head cylinder and the folding jaw cylinders are located, at least in part, laterally of the combination cylinder, so that the apparatus does not require substantial height. The stapling heads can be selectively operated, so that unstapled copy products likewise can be handled.
