Technical Examples

For the purpose of delivering, in the lying-flat condition, book blocks or books which are fed in, standing on their back or on the front cut and at defined timing intervals along their height, from a preceding machine in a transport path, provision is made, according to the method, for the books to be picked up, in accordance with the timing, in the transport path, swung out transversely to the direction of infeed and transferred into a defined delivery position which is spaced apart from the transport path, and is essentially a lying-flat position and from which said books can be fed to subsequent machines synchronously with the timing. The device for performing the method includes a continuously driven clamping conveyer consisting of traction means conveyers which act counter to one another and clamp the books in between them and convey them as far as the picking-up position, a transporting band which still carries the books even in the picking-up position, at least one gripper which clamps the books in the picking-up position and, after the picking-up operation, swings them into the delivery position spaced apart from the transport path and deposits the said books at that point, and a belt conveyer which feeds the books out of said delivery position.
