Abstract: An adapter system for protection of electronics from voltage spikes induced on connected wires. Said adapter system comprises an enclosure, one or more power line connectors and a suppression elements. Two or more plug sockets comprise at least a first line socket and a neutral socket. Said first line socket connects to a first line. Said neutral socket connects to a neutral. Said adapter system is configured to connect to at least said first line with said one or more power line connectors and suppressing a portion of a power on said first line with said suppression elements.

Abstract: The present invention provides a folder having a collect cylinder mounted for rotation and a collect cylinder drive mechanism for rotating the collect cylinder. The collect cylinder includes at least one gripper and a gripper actuator connected to the gripper, and including a cam follower arrangement. A fixed cam having a surface profile is in engagement with the cam follower arrangement to cause actuation of the gripper, and a rotating cam mask is mounted for rotation relative to the fixed cam to selectively mask the surface profile of the fixed mask for actuation of the gripper in a preselected mode. According to a feature of the present invention, an independent cam mask drive mechanism is provided for rotating the rotating cam mask in a controlled rotation to selectively mask the surface profile.

Abstract: A tape transport system for printed products includes a tape having a tape width, a pulley, and a lever arm supporting the pulley, the lever arm having a first side and a second side. The pulley has a first section disposed on the first side of the lever arm and a second section disposed on the second side of the lever arm, the first and second sections supporting the tape so that the lever arm is within the tape width.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for delivering printed products in a rotary printing press is disclosed. Printed products are gripped by a gripping means on a paper-conducting cylinder and transferred to a fan wheel having a plurality of fan-wheel discs defined by a plurality of fan blades. The fan blades remove the printed products directly from the circumferential surface of the paper-conducting cylinder. As the printed products are removed from the paper-conducting cylinder they are guided into fan-wheel pockets formed between adjacent fan blades and slowed down.

Abstract: A folder of a web-fed rotary printing machine includes a device for separating a stream of signatures into a plurality of secondary streams thereof having a device for applying an electrostatic charge to a signature, two diverter cylinders disposed alongside one another and carrying thereon electrostatically chargeable elements extending substantially parallel to respective axes of the diverter cylinders, a device for conducting the signature to the diverter cylinders, and a device for removing the signature from the diverter cylinders and for further guiding the signature to a delivery.
