  • Patent number: 9242825
    Abstract: An apparatus for removing sheets from a transport path of a sheet-processing machine for depositing the sheets onto an auxiliary stack, includes a delivery drum for removing the sheets from the transport path upstream of a main stack, as viewed in the transport direction, and depositing the sheets onto an auxiliary stack in a manner which is retarded by using a suction belt transport system and a suction belt brake system which is associated with the latter. The suction belt transport system and the suction belt brake system are disposed above the auxiliary stack.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8944430
    Abstract: On a machine for processing sheets it is provided, in particular in a region of a delivery, to completely close a rear opening on the end side by at least one upper and one lower cover. Lateral openings are also closable by movable guards, which at least partially are formed from a transparent material.

  • Patent number: 8943964
    Abstract: A powdering device for a printing press includes a metering roller and a manifold. A plurality of injectors are provided downstream of the manifold in a conveying direction of the powder. The powdering device is operable in accordance with a method in which a total powder stream is subdivided into partial powder streams that are subsequently separately mixed with compressed air to create powder/air streams.

  • Patent number: 8262087
    Abstract: In a delivery of a sheet-processing machine, in particular a printing press, provision is made for chain gripper systems for holding the sheets to be transported at the leading and trailing edges thereof. The holding devices are configured such that they can be displaced relative to one another for the purpose of format adjustment. The chain gripper system has a sprocket drive shaft and a sprocket deflection shaft for the chains of the chain gripper system. Here, provision is made for both the sprocket drive shaft and the sprocket deflection shaft to have a clutch.
