Abstract: A collection system for collecting flat objects, including a plurality of collection trays disposed one on top of the other, each of the collection trays having an entrance and an exit; a feeder unit for feeding individual objects or assembled groups of objects to the entrance of the collection trays and for depositing the supplied objects in the respective collection tray, the feeder unit and collection trays being movable or swivelable relative to one another; a conveyor unit for removing the objects deposited in a collection tray through the exit of the respective collection tray; and a movable retaining element, which closes the entrance of one of the collection trays after an individual object or an assembled group of objects has been deposited in the respective collection tray. All of the objects collected in the collection trays are simultaneously removed from the collection trays by a conveyor unit and stacked.

Abstract: In a method and a device for transporting paper within a paper handling installation from a first conveyor to a second conveyor, the second conveyor has a velocity which at least partially follows a drive curve of the first conveyor. A frictional force between the second conveyor and the paper is set to a first value when the first conveyor and the second conveyor are in engagement with the paper. The frictional force between the second conveyor and the paper is set to a second value, which is higher than the first value, when the papers is conveyed by the second conveyor.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting paper webs includes a paper feeding means (102), a cutting means (108) and a paper delay means (106) which is arranged between the paper feeding means (102) and the cutting means (108) and delays the paper web (112), which is being fed, in such a manner that a position where the cutting means (108) cuts the paper web (112) is determined on the paper web (112). A buffer means (104) is arranged between the paper feeding means (102) and the paper delay means (106) so as to receive an accumulating length of the paper web (112) in the form of a loop during the delay of the paper web (112). A control means (190) controls the paper feeding means (102) and the paper delay means (106) in such a manner that the loop (195) received in the buffer means (104) does not fall short of a minimum height (h).
