  • the flexible element is preferably on a first edge with a pivot axis connected to the cylinder body.
  • an adjusting device can be provided with which the flexible element can be attached a second edge opposite the first edge is connected.
  • the Actuating device can comprise a drive.
  • the folding knife arrangement preferably comprises axially spaced apart Folding knife and the flexible element have a series of openings which are axially be passed through spaced knives.
  • the passage of the at least one opening in the flexible element can be done in this way take place that the at least one folding knife of the folding knife arrangement makes a movement executes, the folding knife first on the inside of the flexible element is inside the folding knife cylinder, then through the opening in the flexible element moves, the folding edge of the folding knife on the other side of the flexible element reaches the outside of the folding knife cylinder and then is guided back through the opening in the flexible element, the Folding knife again under the surface of the flexible element formed by the Fold cylinder retracts.
  • the folding knife cylinder can further comprise a second folding knife arrangement, which in Circumferential direction at a distance of 180 ° to the first folding blade arrangement is arranged.
  • a second flexible element can be provided for the second folding blade arrangement.
  • the flexible element is made of spring steel.
  • the flexible element from any flexible or to produce stretchable material.
  • the present invention provides a folding knife cylinder with a Cylinder body and a folding knife arrangement, which is characterized by a flexible element distinguishes that for changing the effective diameter of the folding knife cylinder is adjustable and has at least one opening, which by a folding knife the folding blade arrangement is passed through during a folding process.
  • Such a folding knife cylinder according to the invention can advantageously be used in conventional Drum folder apparatus and thus its possible uses expand.
  • the method according to the invention for folding signatures, with a signature on a folding knife cylinder is held, the fold in the signature by means of a folding knife generated and transferred to two folding rollers for fixing, is characterized by that the signature over a flexible, provided with at least one opening Element is held and that the signature by moving at least one Folding knife is folded through the at least one opening.
  • the flexible element depending on the The thickness of the signature is adjusted.
  • the flexible element can be one Pivot axis can be pivoted. This can be done by means of a movable Block mechanism take place, preferably the pivot axis at an edge of the flexible element is arranged and the block mechanism on the other edge of the flexible element is arranged.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic side view of a drum folder 10, the one Folding knife cylinder 12 and a cutting cylinder 11 comprises.
  • the cylinder body 13 further comprises two folding knife arrangements 30, 32.
  • the folder 10 comprises two folding rollers 40, 42, the take the fold 5 of a signature 2 and the signature 2 by the folder 10 transport.
