ABSTRACT:
A transport apparatus for printed products arriving in an imbricated formation, said transport apparatus comprising grippers or gripper elements anchored in spaced relationship from one another at a revolving traction element for engaging the leading edges of the printed products and for the transfer thereof for further conveying of such printed products. At a transfer zone the conveyor track of the imbricated product stream and a guide for the grippers extend in a direction towards one another. Each gripper comprises a guided upper clamping tongue or jaw and a lower clamping tongue or jaw which is mounted to be movable towards and away from the upper clamping jaw as well as being rotatably mounted. This lower clamping tongue or jaw, when assuming its open position, forms an angle together with the upper clamping jaw which is rearwardly directed and in its closed position the lower clamping jaw is held in a position which is in alignment with or underlies the upper clamping jaw by a holding device of the gripper. At the transfer zone there are provided means for positionally moving the lower clamping jaw into its closed position by rotation and displacement thereof, and along the path of movement of the grippers there are arranged further means in order to render the holding device ineffectual and to return the lower clamping jaw back into its open position.
