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.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming a succession of mutually overlapping products, like folded printed products: a vane wheel having a plurality of axially spaced apart vane discs; a respective chain extending between two neighboring discs; a set of item grippers along each chain; each chain passes between a sprocket located between the discs and a sprocket spaced away therefrom; the sprocket between two discs is eccentric of the discs and is supported on an arm which pivots with respect to the axis of the discs; each sprocket includes cams for opening each gripper as the gripper moves past, whereby each gripper grips a printed item as it leaves the vane wheel, carries the respective printed item to a transport so that the printed items are overlapped on the transport, and then releases the printed item.
