  • two interacting paper leading cylinders e.g. B. a folding knife cylinder and one Jaw cylinder.
  • the folder 1 shown in Fig. 1 comprises two side frame assemblies 13 and one Web inlet section 14, through which a web enters the folder 1.
  • a few interacting cutting cylinder 2 cut the incoming material web into individual Signatures recorded by a first and a second band arrangement 3, 4.
  • the signatures are then from a first folding cylinder 5, z. B. one Folding knife cylinder, recorded with a surface 6.
  • Within a schematically represented Product transfer area 7 the signatures cut from the material web a second paper leading cylinder 8, e.g. B. pass a jaw cylinder.
  • the cross-folded products e.g. B. newspapers, are from the surface 9 of the second Paper leading cylinder 8 passed to belt assemblies 10 that the signatures on Pass on further processing equipment or stacking equipment.
  • a substantially horizontal product delivery path can also be provided, the however, no further detail in the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is shown.
  • the folder 1, which is shown only schematically in FIG. 1, can be used as a pin-less needle Folder can be formed in which the signatures preferably by along the Signature arrangements arranged band arrangements are detected.
  • the The present invention can also be used in folders, the puncture needles for Capture the signatures on paper-bearing cylinders 5, 8 include.
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a paper leading invention Cylinder, which is designed here, for example, as a folding jaw cylinder.
  • the paper-carrying cylinder 8 has a plurality of on its peripheral surface Folding flaps, each with a fixed flap element 17 and a movable one Include flap element 18.
  • Folding flaps By moving one on the peripheral surface of one first paper leading cylinder 5 (Fig. 1) arranged folding knife incoming signatures folded transversely and inserted into the jaws.

  • Each of the layers of the Surface portions 19 of the cylinder have openings 21 at their end portions which e.g. B. for removing the sections 19, easy accessibility of the sections 19th enable.
  • the surface sections 19 are more resistant against material stress and due to a paper jam on the Circumferential surface 9 acting forces. Because the layer arrangement is compressible made possible by approximately 20 mm, the surface sections 19 in the event of a paper jam slowly deformed. If the associated paper leading cylinder 5, e.g. B. a Folding knife cylinder, also has surface sections 19 according to the invention, so a total compressibility of about 40 mm on both cylinder surfaces 6, 9 reached. In the event of a paper jam, the 6.9 move on the respective cylinder surface jammed signatures the respective surface section 19 on the center line of the Cylinder 5, 8 too, so that space is created for the jammed signatures.
  • the associated paper leading cylinder 5 e.g. B. a Folding knife cylinder
