ABSTRACT:
To transport folded copy products without engaging an arm between the creased or folded sheets of a folded copy product, a sprocket chain (10) has gripper arms (9) secured thereto which have gripper elements (11) at the remote end. The gripper elements are guided in an arcuate path (11') at a transfer position or station (7), the folded copy products (10) being pushed between a counter surface (11a) and a movable tongue (11b) of the gripper elements which, then, close under spring pressure. The gripper elements can open and close under control of a cam (18,17) to receive the copy products. The copy products can be transported in imbricated or shingled position to a reception or delivery station (14,27).
