ABSTRACT:
Buffer storage of printed products conveyed in scale formation on a conveyor belt (10) is brought about by buffer device (12.1, 12.2, 12.3 etc.), running in a conveying section with a speed which is lower than the speed of the conveyor belt (10) and having a fixed reciprocal spacing and are switched by the printed products to be buffer stored into a state in which they decelerate the printed products and set same to the spacing of the buffer devices. The number of buffer devices on the conveying section is constant and the number of active buffer devices is a function of the number of printed products located on the conveying section provided for buffer storage. The buffer devices can be brake claws, which are arranged centrally between two parallel conveyor belts on a drag chain in such a way that in a lowered, inactive state they are lowered below the conveying surface of the belts, but in their non-lowered, active state project at least partly above the conveying plane. The brake claws are designed in such a way that they are switched by the printed products pulling them up from their lowered, inactive state into their non-lowered, active state.
