Abstract: A folding jaw cylinder for a printing press has a folding jaw arranged rotatably at the cylinder, a stop for the folding jaw, a rotary body, which can be nonrotatably connected to the cylinder, and whose angular position in relation to the cylinder is adjustable, and a gear mechanism for adjusting a working distance between the folding jaw and the stop by adjusting the angular position between the cylinder and the rotary body. The stop is arranged movably at the cylinder, and is adjusted in relation to the cylinder--during the adjustment of the angular position between the cylinder and the rotary body--by an adjusting arrangement, which is articulated to the rotary body and attached to the stop.
