ABSTRACT:
A paper guide unit is disposed in a signature delivery section of a rotary press in which signatures are inserted between vanes of a delivery fan and dropped onto a conveyor located under the delivery fan through rotation of the delivery fan. A guide member located in the vicinity of a rotation area of the delivery fan has a signature guide surface which comes into contact the signatures inserted between vanes of the delivery fan in order to guide them toward the conveyor. A movable unit is provided to support the guide member. The movable unit is reciprocatively movable in a substantially horizontal direction to move the guide member toward or away from the delivery fan. An adjusting unit is linked to the movable unit for moving the guide member toward or away from the delivery fan via the movable unit to thereby adjust the gap between the guide member and the delivery fan. A posture-holding mechanism is further provided in the movable unit for selectively holding the guide member in either a guide posture or an opening posture. In the guide posture, the guide member faces the trajectory of vane tips of the delivery fan so as to guide rear end portions of signatures. In the opening posture, the guide member is angularly displaced far away from the delivery fan and does not face the trajectory.
