Abstract: A device for conveying individual printed products to a second conveying track from a staggered flow of printed products on a first conveying track. A step is formed between the first conveying track and the second conveying track. The second conveying track branches off from the first conveying track at the step and has a front end disposed adjacent the step. The device includes a carriage disposed on the second conveying track and adapted to assume an oblique movement toward and away from the step. The carriage includes a flap disposed thereon. The flap can be pivoted into and out of an effective area of the first conveying track for engaging and disengaging individual products from the staggered flow.

Abstract: A downward-leading step is disposed between a first and second conveying track, where a first scale-shaped flow is spread open and transferred into a second, deflected scale-shaped flow. Pressure rollers are disposed ahead of and behind the step, which rest against the top of the first or second scale-shaped flow and constitute means for aligning the second scale-shaped flow. In this way the exact evenness and directional consistency of the deflected scale-shaped flow is ensured without a lateral guidance panel.

Abstract: A first conveying member (11) has a gap (11) which is engaged by the front end of a second conveying member. This second conveying member conveys obliquely in respect to the first conveying member and has a lower and an upper draw-off belt (14). The front end of the upper draw-off belt (14) can be telescopically adjusted.
