ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a conveyor that includes at least one dogging device. The dogging device includes a plurality of dogging yokes (105). These are arranged to move commonly after one another and in mutually spaced relationship in a transport direction. The conveyor is constructed to move booklets (1) piece-wise in the transport direction, by virtue of a pair of adjacent dogging yokes (105) being arranged to straddle a side edge of a booklet (1) with clearance in the transport direction. The object of the invention is to avoid an oblique or inclined orientation of the booklets between the dogging yokes. According to the invention, there is provided a support device (106) which acts between two adjacent dogging yokes (105) which at least partially bridge the clearance when one side edge of a booklet (1) is straddled by the adjacent dogging yokes (105). The invention also relates to a method for moving booklets, wherein one side edge of a booklet (1) is straddled by dogging yokes (105) with clearance in the transport direction. The clearance is reduced subsequent to straddling of a booklet.
