ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of, and an apparatus for, stabilizing and positioning sheet like articles (16), in particular printed products. In order to prevent the products from buckling and fanning out, the position of an edge (20) of the product (16) counter to and/or in the conveying direction (F) is delimited by a respective trailing and/or leading delimiting element (24, 26), a receiving means (27) for the edge (20) being formed between a respective leading delimiting element (24) and a delimiting element (26) which follows the latter in the conveying direction (F). By virtue of at least one further delimiting element (28) being moved into the conveying stream (54) upstream of, or in, the starting region (S1) of a stabilizing portion (S) of the conveying section (11), the position of the edge (20) in and/or counter to the conveying direction (F) is localized such that the edge (20) passes only into the receiving means (27) and not into the intermediate region (29) between two receiving means (27).
