ABSTRACT:
A conveying apparatus comprises supports arranged in tandem and revolvingly driven in a predetermined direction of revolving motion. Along the upper run of the conveying apparatus there are provided a first processing path and a second processing path which are mutually parallel and arranged side-by-side in laterally offset relationship. These processing paths are connectable in parallel or in series by means of a reversible belt conveyor. Each processing path is provided with a number of infeed stations for infeeding printed products. During series operation there is deposited at each infeed station of the first processing path a printed product in a straddling fashion upon each support moving therepast or upon the printed product or products previously deposited thereupon. In the region of the lower run of the conveying apparatus, the intermediate products formed in the first processing path are displaced transversely relative to the direction of revolving motion and supplied to the second processing path, whereby the infeed stations of the latter deposit in a straddling fashion further printed products upon the intermediate products. Subsequently, all collected printed products are stapled by means of a stapling apparatus and the end products are transported away. In the case of parallel operation, the first processing path and the second processing path operate isochronously parallel to one another and the collected end products are transported away at the end of each processing path.
